The next morning

Danny awoke to see he was carried to bed last night; he sat up slowly trying not to strain his wounds, a moment later Vlad walked in with a tray with some food that smelt delightful.

"Good morning Daniel" said Vlad as he walked over to Danny and sat on the bed.

"Heh, you got me breakfast in bed….how thoughtful" Danny said coldly

Vlad smirked then placed the tray on Danny's lap.

"I could've made you come down stairs and have breakfast" retorted Vlad.

Danny smirked then picked up a fork and poked one of the 2 eggs on the plate.

"Once you're finished conquering your food with the fork get out of bed and have a shower…do something stupid and I swear boy..." Vlad said sternly

Danny rolled his eyes and started eating the eggs and bacon, Vlad got up and walked out back down to his lab to work on the new portal. Danny finished the food then got out of bed, got a pair of clean clothes then headed to the shower. Once in the shower Danny stood there slowly cleansing him self and brushing his teeth. He stayed in there for a good 20minutes just standing lost in thought till they were broken by a knock at the door.

"Daniel are you quite finished in there?" Vlad called out

Danny was aggravated by this and yelled at Vlad "FUCK OFF WILL YA AND LEAVE ME TO MY THOUGHTS!!"

"Daniel! Don't use that language on me, now get out of the shower or I'll come in and bloody well get you my self!" Vlad snapped back.

Danny remembered last night when Vlad's hands were running through his hair and over his body, his lips on his neck….

"AND DO WHAT YOU PERVERT!! FEEL ME UP AGAIN!!?!" Danny yelled with tears starting to fall down his cheeks.

Vlad couldn't think of a response to that, he knew indeed he was taking advantage of the boy and his situation.

"Danny you were going along with it" Vlad said calmly.

Danny turned the water off then got out of the shower, he began to quickly dry him self and changed into his clothes which were on the bench he then slumped against the wall and slid down. Danny wanted to be alone with his thoughts of his lost family…he just wanted to break down and cry his heart out.

"Daniel, Don't do this to me…I need your help with the portal…I found something wrong with it…" Vlad said calmly trying to change the subject as he was too afraid to tell the teen how he felt about him.

Danny ignored Vlad and took hunks of his own hair in his fists and cried in fury. Vlad rested his forehead against the door.

"Daniel…are you ok?" he asks.

There was nothing by sobs and words of rage. Vlad grew concerned…he went intangible and went through the door, once he turned back to his normal state he walked over to Danny who was on the floor crying his little eyes out, Vlad sunk to his knees and took the teen in his arms and held him. He whispered gentle cooe's and rocked back and fourth a little.

"Shhh its ok Daniel…shh shh shhh" Vlad said as Danny placed his head on Vlad's chest.

Vlad placed his chin on Danny's head and held him tight, letting the teen cry out his fury and rage.

"Why was it them!!...why did they have to die!!...why couldn't it of been me!!?" Danny screamed into Vlad's chest

"Daniel…" he started to say "What happened that last month wasn't your fault ok? Satyricon is a very powerful ghost…there wasn't much you could have done to stop him from doing what he did…" Vlad explained.

Danny cried and thumped Vlad's chest with one of his fists…he misses his family greatly…Vlad allowed Danny to thump him, after a few minutes Danny's thumps stopped, his sob's calmed to quiet whimper's, his tears stopped rolling over his cheeks.

"Would you like your friends to come over?" Asked Vlad softly "We can take a look at this portal if you'd like..."

Danny moved his head back to look Vlad in the eyes; a small smile grew on Danny's lips.

"I'd like that…" said Danny quietly.

Vlad smiled and helped Danny up, Vlad took Danny out of the bath room and down to the living room, Vlad picked up Danny's cell phone which was abandoned on the table since his arrival, to his luck it still had plenty of battery power to make a call to Sam and tucker.

Vlad dialled Sam's number first a moment later she answered.

"Hello?"

"Hello Sam, its Vlad…Daniel would like you to come over sometime…." Vlad started to say

"All the way in Wisconsin?!" she snapped

"Yes all the way in Wisconsin…the boy needs his friends at the moment…I wouldn't dare fly him back to Amity Park at this stage child" Vlad snarled

"Ok ok!, can I speak to Danny?" she asked

"No child, he just had a major emotional break down…Now would you like to come here or not…I will have a private jet sent to pick you and Tucker up..." said Vlad as he sat next to Danny and ran his fingers through the boys raven hair.

"Yeah ill come over…Tuck and I miss him…how long will we be there?" Sam asked

"As long as you wish, since it's the summer break…" Vlad stated

"Cool, well when do I leave?" Sam asked

"Tomorrow morning, get your things ready and we will see you at the air port" Vlad said as he ended the call.

Vlad searched for Tuckers number then dialled it, after a few moments tucker answered.

"Hello, Tucker Foley speaking"

"Its Vlad masters Tucker…" Vlad began to say

"What the fuck! Why are you calling me for you lunatic…?" Tucker began to snap

"Silence…Daniel requires your and the Goth girl's company for awhile…he has been through a traumatic time" Vlad explained

There was a moment of silence between the two.

"Alright…We miss Danny and would like to catch up with him…how long can we stay? When will we leave" Tucker asked

"You can stay as long as you wish, you leave tomorrow morning" Vlad explained

"Alright then I guess ill see you both tomorrow then..." Tucker said as he ended the call.

Vlad smiled at Danny to let him know that his friends are coming tomorrow. Danny felt a little better to know that the two people left in the world other than Vlad that care for him were coming to see him.
