Chapter 8


Danny, Dani and Wes continued to walk along the path near a lane of water. Dani giggled as she walked across the rocks near the water.

--

"Dani be careful!" Wes said with caution.

--

"Relax. She's fine, she's just looking for lunch." Danny said.

--

"Yeah. Don't worry Wes, I'm always careful." Dani said.

--

She spoke to soon when she accidently slipped on a rock and fell into the water. Danny laughed a little and helped her out of the water as she giggled a little, she then phased the water off her intangibly.

--

Danny then looked ahead and said, "Oh hey we're making great time guys. We just have to follow this trail until we hit the river."

--

Wes froze as Danny continued, "And then we can either fly or swim across it, though I'm sure Dani will prefer to swim through it."

--

Dani laughed and said, "You know it!"

--

Danny then finished looking at Wes, "Then it's just a little ways to Hokani Falls. By the rate we're travelling, we'll be there by lunch time tomorrow."

--

Wes smiled weakly and suggested, "That's uh….a good plan. But how about this? We go up that ridge to that mountain and then we climb up those cliffs and we walk across that snow bridge ad avoid the river all together!!"

--

Danny and Dani gave the ginger haired boy strange looks and looked between the two paths. Wes then said with a proud smile, "That makes more sense to me."

--

"That doesn't make any sense. One that's way out of the way and two there's too much up and not enough down." Dani said.

--

"I agree so I vote for the river." Danny said raising his hand with a smirk. Dani then raised hers and said, "Me too. Sorry Sam that's two to one and that means we win!"

--

Dani then went back to the water to get some fish. Wes was shocked but he was determined to have things done her way so he crossed his arms and pointed out, "Well it's my amulet!"

--

"So?" Danny scoffed.

--

"And my wedding!" Wes tried again.

--

"Then have your honeymoon up there." Danny said sarcastically. "Because if we go that way now, we'll have to walk all night just to make it to the falls in time."

--

Wes shrugged and said, "Fine then I'll meet you there!"

--

Danny shook his head and asked, "Wes what's wrong with you? Why do you want to avoid the river?"

--

Before Wes could answer Dani caught a fish and threw it in the air, it landed on Wes and he screamed and walked backwards and then fell into the water. Wes emerged and panicked and quickly walked out of the water and sat by the wall looking at the water with fear and panting heavily.

--

"What's the matter with you?" Dani asked. "You act like you're afraid of fish"

--

Wes didn't say anything as he held his legs to his chest. Danny and Dani then began to laugh as Dani teased, "I can't believe it!"

--

Dani then picked up the fish and held it at Wes and started mocking hun in a joking way, "Hi my name is Wes and I'm afraid of fish!"

--

As Dani continued to tease him, Danny stopped laughing as he saw Wes was getting upset. He cleared his throat and said, "Ah Dani come on stop it please."

--

But Dani didn't hear him as she continued, "Oh the fish is so scary! It's gonna eat me!"

--

"Dani stop it" Danny tried again but Dani didn't but Dani didn't hear him as she continued, "Oh the fish is so scary! It's gonna eat me!"

--

"Dani stop it." Danny tried again but Dani didn't stop and this time he snapped, "Dani stop!"

--

Dani stopped and dropped the fish, she looked at him in shock. He had never snapped at her like that before, he then sighed and sat down next to Wes and said, "We were just kidding around about the fish."

--

"No it's not the fish.." Wes admitted. He then sighed and said, "It's the water..."

--

"Ever since that day I fell through the ice when we were kids…I just been so afraid of the water." Wes finished.

--

"Oh. Sorry I didn't realise" Danny said. "So yesterday at the river?"

--

Wes nodded and said, "That's why I didn't grab my bag at the river. It wasn't your fault we lost the amulet, it was mine and I'm sorry for blaming you.."

--

Danny gave Wes a small smile and said as he wrapped his arm around the ginger haired male's shoulder, "Hey we got it back together and that's all that matters right?"

--

He returned the smile and nodded at him. Dani frowned that she got in trouble for her joke and wacked the fish away from her. Danny and Wes then stood up as he asked, "Are you ready to keep going?"

--

"But…I'll never be able to cross that river.." Wes said.

--

"We can do that together too!" Danny said. Wes smiled warmly at him as they continued their journey to Hokani falls.

--

They crossed through a grassy field. Wes pushed back some grass but then jumped as a flock of birds flew out, he then laughed and looked embarrassed. Danny laughed as they kept going, but forgot to hold the grass back for Dani who looked at them both with a frown. She was starting to feel a bit left out of the group and felt that Wes was taking her big brother away from her.

--

Funny how it turns out

--

That everything can change

--

What I feel right now

--

Is not the same as yesterday

--

Danny laughed as they kept going, but forgot to hold the grass again back for Dani who looked at them both with a frown. She was starting to feel a bit left out of the group and felt that Wes was taking her big brother away from her.

--

There's more than I imagined

--

Deep inside my heart

--

They all then came to a fallen tree acting as a bridge and just when Dani was about to go first, Danny stopped her and she watched in shock as he allowed Wes to go first.

--

Emotions that I never knew

--

And this is just the start

--

Dani shook her head and just flew right through Wes intangibly. Wes shivered for a second and looked back at Danny who shrugged, he then came across and they both laughed about that it was the first time a ghost had gone through him intangibly, while Dani just frowned.

--

So many things I've been missing' not

--

Watching' but, that was all in the past

--

Now I realize

--

There's so much more to learn,

--

I'm ready for the world

--

A little bit later, they were riding mammoths. Wes sat in front of Danny while Dani sat behind Danny. He looked back at Dani and gave her a smile which she returned, suddenly the mammoth they were riding jumped back a bit after hitting some steam from a small geyser, they all held on tightly as the mammoth landed back down and continued on. Danny and Wes then both laughed at what happened, not realising that Dani was holding now floating behind them after almost falling to the ground.

--

Not scared of letting go

--

Now I realize

--

There's so much more to feel

--

And my heart knows it's real

--

The part of me, so long forgotten,

--

Is calling, and this feels like home

--

Home, home, feels just like home

--

They were all walking through a snow covered forest with Dani trailing behind them. Danny then smirked at Wes and nudged into a tree causing some snow to fall on him.

--

Right from the start, been friends forever

--

But somehow we're meant to be together

--

Wes brushed off the snow and smirked back at him, he then nudged a tree while Danny wasn't looking but instead of the snow falling on him, the pile fell on Wes. Danny noticed and they both laughed at what happened, Dani rolled her eyes and looked at them with annoyance.

--

I feel like you show me

--

How to find my way home

--

A little bit later in the early evening, Wes laughed as Danny picked him up and flew the ginger haired male in the air. Both of them were starting to feel feelings for each other but they didn't know it yet. Dani however felt like she was a third wheel and Danny wasn't spending as much time with her as he used to.

--

Now I realize

--

There's so much more to feel

--

And my heart knows it's real

--

The part of me, so long forgotten,

--

When they got to a hill, Wes pushed Danny down it and then he slid down and they both laughed in excitement as they rode down the hill. Dani slipped and slid down feeling really down. When Danny and Wes reached the bottom, Wes then threw a snowball at his face and he began to chase after him while Dani just sighed sadly and sat at the bottom of the hill.

--

Is calling, and this feels like home

--

Home, home, feels just like home

--

Wes continued to run but then stopped as he came to the edge of the river. Wes froze and looked at it fearfully. Danny caught up with him and noticed he fear, Danny looked at the ginger haired male with sympathy and said, "It's the only way Wes!"

--

Wes knew that it was the only way but was still afraid. Danny just smiled at him and said, "Let me help you."

--

He looked at Danny and then smiled and nodded. Danny held out his hand to Wes and he took it, Danny then started slowly leading Wes into the water. He tried to walk back but he didn't let go as Wes said, "I change my mind!"

--

"Nope too late for that!" He said as they were now ankle deep in water. "Whatever happens just don't let go."

--

"Okay.." The ginger haired male said nervously.

--

They walked into the water and continued to go deeper and deeper, Danny then signalled for Wes to take a deep breath as they went under. Wes took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he felt them going under the water.

--

Now I realize

--

There's so much more to learn,

--

I'm ready for the world

--

Not scared of letting go

--

He then opened his eyes and smiled at the sight of turtles swimming past Wes and Danny as they swam across, she then saw a school of fish swim past them. It was truly a beautiful sight to see and now he felt he was no longer afraid of the water.

--

Now I realize

--

There's so much more to feel

--

And my heart knows it's real

--

The part of me, so long forgotten,

--

Is calling, and this feels like home

--

This feels like home, home, home

--

Feels just like home

--

Feels just like home

--

He let go of Danny's hand and swam up to the surface, Danny and Wes then climbed out of the river and they both laughed at Wes's achievement.

--

"I did it! I did it!" Wes cheered. He then smiled warmly at Danny and hugged him, "Thank you Danny!"

--

Danny smiled at Wes's hug and hugged him back, they both let go and continued walking along while Dani was on the other side of the river watching them. She sighed sadly and looked down, feeling like she was losing her big brother the more time he spent with Wes.
