Short chapter

Chapter 12

Jazz watched Danny on the bike outside Casper High, if she were braver she would have faced him then but the truth was that she didn't even know what to say anymore. She understood why he had to leave but the shining M on his chain reminded her that this young man was not her little brother. He was the son of Vlad Masters and although Vlad had his bad qualities the man was a dangerous enemy. It had been almost a year and it seemed that living with the man had changed him. There was a steel in his eyes that had never been there before. Jazz was also scared. No she was terrified. Her parents had become more and more crazy with every passing day. She was afraid of what would happen when they finally met Danny again. She was no fool. Her parents obsession with ghosts had torn down any love they ever had for their son, they were becoming monsters.

She watched Danny talk to Sam and Tucker, she wondered if he forgave them. When they left she watched him with his girlfriend. She was a beauty and the smile his friends had on his face as they left, she could only assume that things went better than they had the last time. She wanted to talk to him but not today. He had dealt with enough between Sam and Tucker. She would talk to him tomorrow. As she left the Nasty burger, she watched Paulina, Dash and the rest of the A listers walk in. She watched as Dash smirked in Dannys direction. Jazz settled back into her seat to determine exactly how much Danny had changed.

Danny and Arai were still in silence enjoying the moment of peace that had settled over them, when Sam and Tucker had left. "Fenturd! What are YOU doing with a girl like that? We all know she deserves to be on MY arm." Danny looked to the heavens, so much for peace... "Its Masters Dash." Danny stood up and offered his hand to Arai. She raised an eyebrow and got up with him. Danny walked past him, holding hands with Arai, not caring about Dash.

Dash Baxtor was angry. All everyone could talk about was the new Danny. It was driving him crazy. No matter surname that loser took he would always be a loser. He needed to prove it. That being said how could the little pest think he could walk away from him. Dash followed him outside and grabbed the back of his shirt before be got too far. His little girlfriend stopped too. A crowd had formed, and everyone was waiting in silence to see what would happen next. Before Dash could say anything, Danny grabbed his wrist and held in arm against his back, "I am not some weak little boy you can bully Dash. I am a Masters and if you try that again not only will I kick your ass but I will ruin you. That little business your dad loves so much, I'll have it run to the ground. You shouldn't mess with your betters Baxtor." Dash was terrified, Danny never looked like this before. He was cold and his eyes could have frozen someone solid. He was not someone to be messed with anymore.

Jazz watched the entire display and watched as Danny drove away. She was right. Danny used to feel guilty about using his powers but it looked like he now accepted it as a part of him. He could control himself better and because of it he was no longer afraid to fight back. He had no reason to fear hurting Dash more than he expected to be hurt. Jazz was proud and at the same she was sad. Danny had grown so much and it seemed that he no longer needed her. They were never close and she saw him transform by accident. She never told anyone anything because she was proud and at the same time, mad. These people were using him. She was right. Vlad was the right person for him to be with, because he taught Danny to accept himself. He was no longer two different aspects of himself. He was just Danny.

Danny may have never let her in completely but he once knew that she cared about him and she knew he loved her. She remembered him being protective of her alk the time and now as she watched him with his girlfriend, he looked as if he had found the most precious jewel to guard. He always looked so tired and torn, in a million different directions, like he never knew where he needed to go and when, now he looked so calm. He seemed to be at peace with not only himself but with the person his powers made him. He no longrr tried to hide certain parts of himself from the world. He was no longer afraid. She smiled to herself knowing that even though she had hurt him she had given him the greatest gift of all. She had given him freedom, to be who he needed to be, and that made everything worthwhile in her eyes.

Jazz went home and checked on her parents and as usual she blew up some of the more scary looking things they invented. She needed a more permanent way of dealing with them and she needed to do it before they saw Danny.
