chapter 35.

1 week later.

Ember walked the halls of the medical center filled with depression. Danny had saved her twice now. And what has she done to thank him for it? She sighed. "nothing." She answered herself. She got to the receptionist's desk and rang the bell. A black haired ghost walked up. "sorry hun visiting hours ended 10 minuets ago." She said coldly. She put on a kind face. "look my battle partner from phantom academy is here I just need to see him please?" the nurse was about to say something when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She and Ember both had a look of shock as they looked straight at walker. "let her through. That's an order." He said dryly. The nurse only nodded and opened the door.

Ember walked through the doors with walker behind her. "um..thanks." she said hesitantly. Walker only nodded. "not a problem miss mclain." He replied dryly. After a while of silence walker spoke up. "listen im terribly sorry for my nieces actions." He said meaningfully. Ember shook her head. "its not you who should apologize its Desiree." She said as nice as she could. Walker shook his head. "sadly I find that an impossibility." He said now on Embers left side. "Im afraid shes one guitar short a few guitar strings if you get my drift." He said causing Ember to giggle. "so now you belive us?" she asked. walker nodded sadly. "yep I do. And after this year at phantom academy ill be having her transferred over to another school." Ember smiled. Danny was going to jump for joy.

Walker walked and continued on. "I admit I feel responsible for young plasmius. After all my nieces crazy obsessed mind did this to him in an attempt to harm you." He said. Ember could only nod her head sadly. Walker put his hand on her shoulder. "hey don't beat yourself up over it kid. Your friend was doing his job." She looked at him as he continued on. "he was protecting his partner." He said causing Ember to smile. Walker smiled back. "you like him don't you?" Ember nearly tripped had walker not have caught her. "what makes you say that?" she asked. he only chuckled. "oh cmon you two are practically inseparable. You two fight in perfect synch and everything." Ember could only agree to everything that her principle was saying. "that and Pandora noticed the first battle you two fought together on."

Embers eyes shot wide and looked at Walker. He shrugged. "when you're a greek goddess your sister is the goddess of love what did you expect." Ember could only shrug. As they reached the door Walker pulled Ember to the side. "if you want my advice young lady. I would tell the young man how you feel." Ember could only blush. "do you know why im so hard on you kids sometimes?" Ember shook her head. Walker looked at the window away from Ember. "because the love of my life was taken away from me." Ember looked at Walker with sympathy. "my own brother beat me to her. And after they were hunted down by the guys in white I was in charge of their daughter." He said wiping away a tear. Ember suddenly felt bad for Walker. She gave him a small hug and smiled at him. He smiled back. "promise youll tell the kid got it?" he said sounding tough. Ember laughed. "okay I will." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek. "you know Walker youre not that bad a guy you know that?" Walker smirked. "id watch it mclain. Just because were on good terms doesn't mean I wont go easy on you or plasmius." He said smiling walking away.
Ember took a deep breath as she knocked on the door. "come in." her heart lept as she heard Dannys voice. "okay mclain play it cool." She told her self as she walked in. she at first wondered if Danny had a room mate but realized she was looking at Danny. His hair now no longer white had changed. It was white with black blotches. His skin was more pale than usual and he had fangs now instead of normal teeth. Ember felt herself getting hotter. She finally admitted to herself. Danny was hot. "hey." She said shyly. Danny smiled. "hi." He said as Ember took a seat next to him. It was quiet until Danny spoke up. "wow serious dajavu." He said causing Ember to giggle. Ember noticed Danny looked a lot more like Vlads ghost self minus the vampire cape and all. Danny smiled. "what do you think of the change?" he asked. Ember looked at him in confusion. "what exactly happened to you?" she asked.

Danny sighed and smiled. "im fully dead Emy." He answered. Ember blushed at being called that. "so youre not a half ghost anymore?" she asked. Danny nodded. "that's right." He answered. Ember could already feel a pang of guilt washing over her. She felt something on her hand and blushed when she realized when she saw it was dannys hand. "I know what youre going to say Ember and look do me a favor." Ember hesitated as Danny smiled. "don't apologize." He said. Ember smiled back. She then looked at all the flowers from school mates teachers even clockwork had given Danny a get well gift. "I know it takes up much of the space in the room right?" he said making Ember laugh. She then turned to him. "im sorry I couldn't afford you anything." She said sadly. Danny smiled. "don't worry Ember its alright. You didn't have to buy anything." She looked at him smiling. "all you had to do was show up." He said grinning. She blushed. Walkers voice then rang in her head and an idea sparked in her head. "actually I do have something for you." She said smiling. Danny looked at her raising an eyebrow. "oh and what might that be?" he asked. she smiled. "this." She then put her hands around dannys head and brought Danny's lips to hers engulfing them in a long deep kiss.
