Danny POV
Back in my life, Vlad was recently threatened by Jazz to send helicopters and the police force to find me.
I could hardly contain my laughter and tried to think the positive of things.
How I can finally escape that hell-hole, be with a father figure that loves me, and seeing the struggles of everyone trying to find me.
I smiled at Vlad when he brought out the hot chocolate.
I thanked him and took a sip.
It was so good and utterly delicious!
I thanked Vlad again and looked out the window.
It was pretty great living with him, but I know that it would soon end.
I'm in the ninth-grade level, and then I'll go off to the college of my choice.
'Wonder if they'll keep searching for me...' I thought.
'If they do, then it'll be pointless. Maybe some will stop to go on with their life. Maybe even Phantom...'
I placed the cup down after burning my tongue a bit and let out a sigh.
"What's wrong, now?" Vlad asked me.
I told him what I thought, and he nodded after I was done.
"Well, you're possibly right. No matter what they'll do to try to find you, they'll give up eventually. Except for Phantom, probably. And that might be a problem..."
I see what he meant by 'problem.'
If Phantom doesn't stop looking for me, then people will still follow his example.
'What to do, what to do...' I thought, feeling a slight panic.
After some thought, which leads to a headache, I began to yawn.
"Tired already, Daniel?" Vlad asked, knowing that stress leads me to sleep.
I nodded, yawning, and decided to go up to my new room.
I still have a hard time finding it, but with Vlad's help, it's fine.
Once I got to my room, I lead down in bed while Vlad placed a blanket over me.
"Good night, Daniel," He said, smiling.
I smiled back while mumbling a 'good night' before falling asleep.
He closed the door, and with that, I fell asleep.
Vlad POV
After I closed Daniel's door, I began to grow concerned about his home problems.
I know he doesn't want to go back, and I agree, but we needed a way to let everyone else know that he doesn't.
'What to do, what to do...' I thought, heading over to my office.
I began some paperwork and study a way to make sure Danny's both happy and safe.
Somehow, I need his agreement in this, but for right now, all I want is for him to be right where he safe...
Timeskip, morning
Danny POV
I woke from my sleep as soon as the bell rang, meaning that either someone's here, or it's a package.
I grumbled, trying to fall back to sleep, but with the shouting going on, I knew I had to eavesdropped a bit.
I got up and leaned closer at the door, trying to make out who it was.
I heard it was a female's voice, and I knew who it was...
Sam...
'Damn it, now, she's threatening Vlad too, WHY?!' I thought, already pissed.
After more shouting and mentions of threat punches, I assume that she left because the door slammed.
'Damn, either Vlad's that mad, or she gave up,' I thought, getting back to bed.
'Although, how did she get here? The only way for to come is with- OH NO...'
I got up, closed the curtains as well as activating the ghost shield so that he wouldn't come in.
'Fuck, fuck, please, don't come in, please, don't come in-'
"Daniel, everything's fine, don't worry. He's not here," Vlad said, opening the door.
I was shivering with fear, but I calmed down a bit.
"I-Is he-"
"No, he can't get in. I only saw Samantha here, at least."
I took a deep breath and thanked him.
"How about we get some breakfast and talk about our plan?" Vlad asked.
Before I could reply, my stomach rumbled, causing me to blush in embarrassment.
Vlad laughed, and we head downstairs.
Once we go there, the food was already there, and we ate.
"So, Daniel," Vlad stated, " I wanted to ask something."
"Hm?" I mumbled, still have food in my mouth.
"I found a way that will make everyone leave you alone, but..."
I knew it was going to be extreme, but honestly, I didn't care.
"But what?"
"It would have to be with you dying..."
My face was stern, but I was shocked from the inside.
"Me dying? Like for real or-"
"No, nothing like that. I'm not going to kill you, well, maybe, but-"
"But what?!" I asked, panicking.
Vlad sighed and explained the plan.
He would create a clone and have a ghost monster killed me right in front of everyone.
It sounded too utmost, but I feel a sigh of relief coming out of me.
'Thank goodness it's just that...' I thought, feeling peace once again.
"That's all?" I asked, back to eating.
He nodded and asked if I was okay with it.
It took some thought, but I made my decision.
"Let's do it..." I said with a smile.
'And after that, no one can harm me ever again...'
