Chapter 2: Relying on You
"WHAT?!" Maddie yelled, not thinking. Her son cowered a little bit, but kept a straight face.
"Mom, relax. We can get out of here, we just need to find the portal." He said calmly. He was taking this situation firmly it seemed.
"Danny, we don't even know how to get back to the portal! Let alone find it!" Maddie said, trying to keep her cool.
Maddie looked up, staring at the place called the ghost zone.
She and Jack had never actually gone inside, because of the fact that as the well-renown ghost hunters, they would be all of the ghost's target, and it just wouldn't have been safe.
With them gone, no one would be able to protect the city! So they had agreed not to go inside the portal unless absolutely necessary.
Maddie glanced at Danny. He seemed to be having an inner conflict, and Maddie wondered what exactly was going on until a look of decision overcame his face.
"Mom you have got to promise not to freak out on me okay?" Danny said, very cautiously.
Maddie was intrigued. "Why?" She asked, curiously.
"Just trust me." Danny said.
He lifted his arm and stuck 2 fingers into his mouth, letting out a good long whistle. (A/N: Bet you thought he'd transform didn't you! XD, not yet…)
"Danny!" Maddie yelled, coming over and clamping her hand over her son's mouth, "You'll give away our position!"
But as she said that her eyes widened, her arm dropping from Danny's mouth. In front of her was a green ghost dog.
He was very small, with red eyes, floppy ears, and green fur. But as he saw Maddie's arms around Danny, he seemed to get bigger, and bigger.
His eyes became completely red, and fangs bore from his mouth along with very sharp teeth. His black collar had spikes on it (A/N: Right? I don't remember.), and all in all he looked very intimidating.
"Danny, get behind me!" Maddie said, pushing Danny gently away from her. She reached a hand to her belt slowly…but found nothing.
That ghost had taken her ecto weapons!
Maddie mumbled something incoherent under her breath and froze with fear.
Only to have Danny come in front of her and yell "Cujo!". The ghost dog suddenly shrank and came running at Danny, knocking him over.
Maddie rushed to his side, only to find Danny being slobbered with kisses. It would have been cute, had it not been a ghost dog.
Danny finally managed to get up and push the ghost dog away, with a demand of "Cujo, heel!" which he actually obeyed.
Danny then looked at his mother, back at the ghost dog, and back at his mother.
"Cujo is a good ghost I met a while back. He can sniff out a place that can direct us to the ghost portal." Danny said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
Maddie knew he was hiding something, How could he know these things? But now wasn't the time to talk. So she nodded.
Danny nodded back, then looked at the ghost dog, or Cujo. "Go boy, umm… Far Frozen Fetch!" He said, pointing.
Cujo yapped and took off, flying in a direction. Maddie looked at Danny and Danny seemed to realize something.
"Oh umm… we can fly in the ghost zone, we're kinda the ghosts here." He said, floating off the ground.
Maddie looked down to find herself floating too. She gave a small yelp of surprise, then tried to maintain balance.
Danny looked at her, then at the direction where Cujo had taken off in, and smiled, zooming off after him.
Maddie laughed a little. This would take some getting used too.
Chapter Done! YAY! Some people may be thinking that I'm putting off the other stories, well I AM! Not really actually. I'll be updating the other stories soon too, don't worry about it. I just have a lot of ideas, and I'm itching to put them up.
