The Ghostly pet

Protective

Five years later

"AH! Daddy!" Aria shouted while she was held under his arm, as they walked downstairs for breakfast. Danny laughs and placed her down, he messed her hair and kissed her forehead.

"Morning, dear" Ember said while she placed a plate down, "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah!" Aria said sitting down and taking her fork, "Daddy woke me up!"

"Because it was time for breakfast, Aria" Danny said taking a sip of his coffee.

"Daddy mean," Ember smiled and prepared Desiree breakfast, "Desiree!"

"Mommy! Mommy!" Aria shouted quickly leaving her chair and going towards her, "I want to feed her!"

"Okay," Ember smiled and placed her hand on Aria's head, "Right beside the water,"

Aria nodded and placed the bowl down, she turned around and waited for Desiree to run into the kitchen like every morning.

"Hm? That's weird?" Ember mumble while she also waited for Desiree to run into the kitchen as well.

"Be careful, Ember," Danny said placing his mug down

"Why?" She asked crossing her arms

"Last time she did this she trips you from behind," Danny said and watched Aria sit back down

"I'm not going to be trick ag-!" Ember shouted and fell back, she hit the ground and blink slightly. Ember lifted her head and saw Desiree eating from her bowl; Ember groans and slowly got up.

"Are you alright?" Danny asked leaning forward slightly

"Don't say a single thing!" Ember said with her finger out

"Mommy!" Aria jumps down from her chair and sat down beside her, she smiled and poke her cheek.

"Yes?" Ember asked sitting up and crossing her legs.

"Are you okay?" Aria asked as she sat on Ember's lap

"I'm alright, baby," Ember smiled and gave her a hug, she stood up and took Aria in her arms, "Let Desiree eat, alright?"

"Okay," she said hugging her neck

"How about we head outside for a bit?" Danny said sitting up and walking towards them.

"Yay!" Aria shouted quickly running to the front door, "Hurry up!"

"We're coming!" Danny said laughing slightly and smiling at Ember.

"We better hurry," Ember said laughing as well.

Ember held Danny's hand while they went outside with Aria; Danny waited for Desiree to follow them before he closed the door. Desiree bark and ran ahead of the family, she wags her butt and waited for Aria.

"Let's play!" Aria shouted running towards Desiree; Desiree barked some more and ran around Aria.

"Oh, children," Ember said while she stopped with Danny, and simply watched Aria play.

"Hey! Aria!" Danny smiled and opened his hand, "Come here,"

Aria nodded and went to Danny; he smiled and went on one knee. Aria placed her little hands on his and watched as an ice crystal formed, she awed and touched it slightly.

"Don't touch it yet, Aria," Ember said pulling her hands back, "Wait until Daddy's finished/"

"Hold on, Aria," Danny said moving his fingers slightly, "It almost done,"

"I want to hold it!" Aria whines slightly and jumps in place.

"Alright…. Here you go," Danny said giving her the ice crystal, "Be careful"

"Mommy! Look!" Aria said showing her mother the crystal, "It's pretty!"

"Daddy isn't the only one!" Ember said winking at her, "Daddy can do ice and mommy can do fire."

Ember smiled and opened her hand as well, she held a small fire in her hand and started to form it into a heart. Ember laughs softly and watched Aria stare; Ember closed her hand around the heart with smoke escaping through her fingers.

"Here you go," Ember smiled giving her the fire heart, "It's warm, right?"

"Wow!" Aria said feeling her hand becoming warmer, "I want powers too!"

"You power are coming in, Aria," Danny said placing his hand on her hand, "But you have to wait."

"Why?" she whined and pout at her father.

"Your powers are new, baby," Ember said smiling at her, "When you're older you're able to use your powers."

"Aw….. okay….." Aria mumbles and stared at the ice and fire crystals.

Desiree smiled while she watched the family moment; Desiree sighed when she smelled something In the air.

"What is this?" Desiree sat up and walked around slightly, she sniffed the air and felt a strange presence approaching.

"Another one!" Aria said jumping slightly, "Daddy!"

Desiree frown and transformed into her human form, she stood up on her feet and slowly sniff the air some more. She moved her gaze and notice a strange ghost staring at them, she stopped and stared back at him.

"Is this it?!" Desiree thought, watching the strange ghost suddenly charging towards them. Desiree's eyes widen, she could tell this strange ghost was aiming for Danny and Ember, and she wasn't going to allow it! Ember and Danny suddenly felt something pushing them out of the way and knocking Aria to the ground. They quickly looked back and saw a black shape quickly flying away; Danny quickly stood up and ran slightly before he stopped and stared at the sky. He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ow…." Aria mumbled rubbing her head slightly, "It hurts….."

"Aria!" Ember quickly turned and ran towards her, she got down and quickly checked for any injuries.

"Mommy," she said feeling her mother patting her down.

"Are you alright, Aria?" Ember asked quickly hugging her in her arms, "Are you hurt?!"

"No," she said shaking her head slightly

"Where does it hurt, baby?" Ember asked with a concerned tone

"Here," Aria said and pointed to her head; Ember nodded and moved some of her hair, she moved her fingers and felt a small bump.

"You'll be alright, baby" Ember said and gave Aria another hug.

"Are you two alright?" Danny asked running back towards them, "Aria?"

"She'll be fine," Ember reassured and smiled at him, "It's just a bump on the head."

Danny nodded his head and hug his wife and child in his arms, he smiled and looked back where that strange black thing had escaped.

"What was that?" Danny asked while he held Ember and Aria's in his arms

"I don't know?" Ember said and notice Desiree running towards them.

"Desiree?" Ember mumble while she watched Desiree lick Aria's hand.

"That was close!" Desiree thought and sat down, and watched Aria being held by Ember. "I need to be on my guard! Whatever that thing was….. it might come back…." Desiree sighed and nuzzled against Ember's hand.
