Hello again! Sorry for the waiting u.u I hadn't have thought of a story when I wrote the first chapter. It was a sort of experiment so it was a beautiful surprise when I get reviews, and follows! XDXD So thank you very much to everyone who read the first chapter and now is willing to read the second and sorry for the mistakes but it would be lovely if you could quote me some so I could learn from them.

To Fiera the Proud : Thank you so much! Your review made me very happy and I appreciate a lot your corrections. Your assumptions were correct, I'm not a native speaker and I'm not living in an English speaking country so your instructions help me a lot. I hope it shows in the following chapter ;)

Chapter 2: Resolution

'Did I pass out? What hap-Mom!, oh no, mom and dad, they...ah, Vlad' (Danny tentatively shifted position) 'Well, I'm not handcuffed or anything, that's good, right?... Oh, God, What now?; I just...I don't wanna wake up. Warm, it's warm here and soft, so soft. Don't open your eyes. Don't make it real. Just lets sleep a little more Danny, yes...that's'

-"Stop pretending Daniel. I know you are awake." Vlad sounded far more tired than he wanted to admit. He couldn't understand why he has taken Danny. 'Well, of course Daniel had asked for it' Vlad thought briefly 'Sweet Daniel had asked so nicely. He actually muster all force left to plead for my help before collapsing in my arms. I couldn't possibly...But I shouldn't have been there in the first place'

He knew he shouldn´t be near Daniel. He knew since he had realize the true nature of his feelings for the little halfa. For six years he has done it so well. Maybe some spying now and then, but nothing too bold, nothing too risky. And this, right now, it was way too risky. If the rejection of a delusional love had hurt him so badly... He shivered just at the thought of the power Daniel had over him. He, who has maneuvered his way to the top of the world alone and known the darkest secrets of the most powerful people of the world. He was as defenseless and hopeless as a newborn when it comes to dealing whit Danny.

No matter the course of action, he had envisioned himself either as a lonely dry shell of a person, living from the drops of poisoning satisfaction that witnessing his little badger deserved happiness from afar could give him, or as a broken excuse of a monster deprived of all hope to ever see some strand of brightness ever again, after the ultimate denial of love. Vlad had chosen the less painful of the alternatives. But his recent actions drove him dangerously near the most hideous path.

Danny coughed soundly bringing Vlad's toughs back to the room.

-"Yes little badger?" Vlad said while appreciating the sight of Danny's form shifting a little under the covers. It made a beautiful scene that Vlad wanted to engrave in his memory for all the eternity.

-"Where am I Vlad?" Danny didn't sound totally awake yet.

-"In the second safest place of the castle Daniel. I anticipated that you wouldn't appreciate waking up in the lab, Would you?" Vlad's voice was even, perfectly masquerading the rush of emotions washing all over himself at the moment.

-"Oh... Uum, Thanks I guess. The sheets are really comfy." Danny emphasized the sentence by rubbing his cheek in the pillow.

'Oh perfect! he'll give me a heart attack without even notice' Vlad though harshly but keep talking in the same tone as before -"Oh, well, thank you Daniel. I ge-"

-"Wait! This room... is this YOUR bedroom?! Oh god, this is YOUR BED!" Danny was panicking a little there.

-"Oh shut up Daniel! We both know this is not the reason you should be panicking right now. So cut your childish blabbering and listen." Vlad commanded his best authoritarian voice, trying to camouflage his anxiety.

Danny felt his cheeks redden a little. He didn't need Vlad's words to know he was acting childishly here, but he couldn't help it. In mere seconds his life had turned upside down and he needed something safe, something to remain the same. Vlad being a creep, he could deal with that, that was 'the normal'. But Vlad suddenly acting kind and helping him; he deep inside feeling glad to be here with Vlad and not alone after all that happened; that felt plain wrong.

-"As you should have already noticed, I mean no harm for you nor your family anymore. I shouldn't have meddled in your business, but as a matter of fact, I already did. So don't be afraid to ask for my support, no matter what. Take it as a compensation for previous offences." Vlad was using his neutral busyness voice. He pointed in the direction of a nearby chair and continued talking "The rest of your belongings is in that chair. You can stay as much as you want. If you want to eat something just go to the kitchen and ask for it. I'll be in my study"

Without waiting for an answer, Vlad left the room. Danny's gaze was rapidly distracted from the door's frame by the insistent light of his cell phone. There was a massive amount of missing calls and a text message from Jazz:

I told them everything. Please little brother come back home. You'll be safe, I promise.

Danny closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He didn't know if it was due for Vlad's words or what, but he really felt safe in the room. However, he wouldn't won anything postponing the inevitable and there wasn't much thinking to do in the matter. He had to face his parents.

That's it for now. Please review and quote mistakes and I'll keep going :)
