chapter 32

3 days later. Thursday

Danny lay in his bed sulking. All he could hear was Embers anger her hatred in her voice. "why does life gotta suck?" he asked himself. He tried to listen to music. But it only reminded him of Ember. He tried to read a book but words reminded him of lyrics which reminded him of music. And so on. The only games he had were guitar hero and rock band. Which again same problem. He tried to train but it only hurt on the inside. There was a knock at his door. "come in." he grumbled. Kitty Skulker and Danielle all came in. they were shocked at what they saw. There were pop cans and old candy wrappers all over the room.

"and I thought my eating habbits were bad." Skulker said reciving a warning elbow in the ribs from kitty. She looked at Danny sadly. "Danny cmon you haven't been to school in 3 days youre really falling behind." She said worried. Danny shrugged. "no point. Ember doesn't want to talk to me." He said sadly. Danielle walked up to her brother. "cmon just because of a small argument youre not going to school?" she asked. skulker stepped up. "what about pariahs keep tomorrow?" he asked. Danny lay there not even flinching. "im sure you guys will be fine without me." He said dryly. At once a metallic hand grabbed him and flung him into the room below.

Danny looked around to see skulker flying down with an angry expression on his face. "so that's it huh? The great Danny plasmius is giving up so easily?" he said now punching Danny in the stomach. "so what if I am?" Danny said transforming. He threw an ecto blast towards skulker who rebounded it to Danny. Kitty and Danielle whatched from the observatory in horror as the two friends fought. "it means that no matter what the training or the fighting that youre a quitter." Skulker said angrily bashing Dannys skull into the ground. His arm then started to get coated with ice. Danny phased through the floor and slammed skulker in the gut with his elbow.

"I AM NOT A QUITTERRRRR!" at that moment Danny unleashed his most powerful ghostly wail. Skulker diminished into nothing but vapor. When Danny looked and did not see his friend he realized what was going on. He looked up to see the real skulker with kitty and Danielle. They all phased through the door and landed towards Danny. "Danny don't give up just because of a little heart break." Kitty said hugging Danny. Danny sighed. "its not that kitty. Its just that now Ember hates me and she always will now." Kitty smiled at him and pulled out a recorder. "whats this?" he asked. she smiled giving her friend a hug. "listen to it tonight. Youll be surprised."

Meanwhile.

Ember sat in her realm with a box of tissues next to her. Her eyes were swollen from crying. "I don't understand." She said sadly. At that moment her laptop chimed. She walked over to open it. Kitty stood there. "hey girl you okay?" she asked. Ember sat on her chair hugging her legs close to her chest. "I don't know kitty." She said. she then grabbed her phone and chucked it at the wall. "why didn't he tell me is what I wanna know?" she said bursting into tears. Kitty sighed. "hang on ill be right over." She said shutting off her skype. Ember stood there looking at the armor that Danny had bought. She looked away from it. It hurt to look at anything Danny related. She sobbed even more. Thinking she could never look at Danny plasmius ever again.

Danny lay there holding the recorder he had gotten from kitty. He hesitated before he pushed the play button. He could tell the two voices. One was kitty the other voice though made his heart ache.

Kitty:hello there.

Ember:oh hello.

Kitty:look im going to ask you a question and I want an honest answer. Were you listening in on our conversation yesterday?

Ember:to tell you the truth yes.

Kitty: okay now for one more question. You like Danny don't you?

Dannys heart stopped. At that moment.

:well…i…its just….i…well.

There was a long pause and Danny felt like his heart was going to explode.

Kitty:I knew it I knew you liked him.

Danny couldn't help but smile. "thanks kitty for ruining the moment there." he thought to himself.

Ember: okay okay look just don't tell anyone ill do anything.

Danny dropped the recorder. Ember liked him. He face palmed himself. "and I wondered why all of my friends called me the clueless wonder." He said to himself. He continued listening.

Kitty: so why do you like Danny?

Ember:well hes sweet and hes really nice nothing like some other guys ive met.

Danny couldn't help but smile.

Ember: but I think its those eyes of his.

Kitty: what?

Ember:they have kindness in them all I see is someone sweet. You know?

Kitty:yeah I can understand that.

Meanwhile.

Kitty sat next to Ember who was continusly grabbing a new tissue. "cmon Ember I know you feel bad but why not talk to Danny?" ember didn't even look at Kitty. "because I cant look at the son of my parents killer in the face." She said sobbing. Kitty frowned. "but remember Danny never hunted ghosts like them or anything." Ember slowly looked up. Kitty smiled. "why would he hunt anything that's part of him. Hes half ghost like his dad his sister so far all ive seen him do is beat em up." She said cheerfully. "besides." She continued. "he has never once tried to hurt you. That's why he didn't tell you." Ember looked at kitty with a confused look. "he didn't want to break your heart Ember that's why he didn't tell you at first. He was afraid you would hate him." Ember looked at the floor sadly. "I couldn't hate him." Kitty looked at her friend in confusion. She looked up sadly. "I love him too much."

Kitty smiled and hugged her friend. "promise me you guys will talk?" she asked. Ember nodded. "yeah ill talk to him after the field trip tomorrow right now I just need some time alone." Kitty nodded understanding. "okay ill tell him okay?" she asked. Ember nodded again. "okay that's alright."

Like I said I hate conflict in the story but don't worry everyone the fluff will return trust me. Blackwood out.
