Danny stared around the dark corners. He searched the shadows quickly in the hopes of finding some sort of answer. Something, anything, at a time like this he wasn't bound to be fussy. His green eyes skirted across the walls and in every corner, but try as he might he saw nothing but black. He attempted to make light with his ghost energy but it was quickly swallowed up in an endless darkness.

It couldn't have been just a single room, even with no lights it was obvious it went on farther than four walls would allow. Somewhere within the enigmatic domain a soft repetitive dripping echoed. It was slow yet persistent, the sound of water coming from a possibly broken pipe or some sort of leak. The boy just couldn't shake the eeriness that veiled the entire area.

There were many questions that crowded his mind. Reasons for why he was here, how he got there, was there company? All he remembered was collapsing in his bed for some well deserved rest. He didn't recall leaving or experiencing any pain.

"You're in my world now..."

Standing still no longer became an option. The young halfa took off running away from anything that might've been nearby. He wasn't sure where he was going or what he was doing. But he did know one thing, he had to run. He couldn't see anything and was impassibly grateful he had yet to stumble, or worse.

As he ran he could hear through the darkness things skittering around. He could only imagine what was crawling around him and possibly pursuing him. Danny tried to dispell the idea of anything seething through the shadows invisibly waiting until he passed by at the right moment.

He slowed his pace out of exhausting and realization. He was ridiculous for running away when he had nowhere to go. He convinced himself it was paranoia and only that. All points aside he was sure wherever he was didn't mean that something was out to get him.

A whir of wind sped past his head and continued onward. Ahead he caught sight of a glimmer that is often seen at midnight. He stopped in his tracks an ear piercing scream echoed through the darkness. Time itself seemed to screech to a quick halt it threw him.

The hair on the back of his neck pricked upright and a shiver ran through his very soul. His breath hitched in his throat he knew who that was. Danny valiantly dashed forward intending to protect her. Not a sound echoed through again, not a thud of a body, not a whimper, not a footstep. They only thing was hi harsh breathing.

He felt something cold surround him. His ears picked up on the sharp whirring sound once again. It passed closely by causing the a slight breeze that ruffled his hair. Something raked along his face gently enough so it was noticeable but the skin was left unharmed.

"With me you'll never be safe Danny."

Danny shuddered in fear and remained frozen in one spot. His mind battled between running from the mysterious presence or to press forward to find the source of the scream. But as a dead breath fell upon his neck he felt no urge to move at all. Something was there something was whispering things to him in a language he understood without knowing.

His back began to sear and warm liquid drained out and descended downward obeying gravity. He screamed in agony and thrust his body forward. Another gash appeared on his chest. Danny collapsed to the cool and possibly wet floor. He balanced on his knees, warm liquid dripped down his body and dropped to the floor.

"Sam..." Danny whispered thinking of the possibly hurt or even dead girl somewhere a few feet away. Did she even know he was here too? He dropped onto his back taking shallow ragged breaths. Pain shot through his body and he couldn't even seem to focus.

Danny opened one eye and looked up to see two red slits staring back, a blanket of stars glimmered beneath the red glow. The presence sent him into a frantic battle for air. A metallic taste filled his mouth and the smell stung his nose. The same cold feeling gently caressed his face as his breathing slowed.

" Sweet dreams little halfa."

Gah so busy! This was the most I could get out for you... I can't get the idea of Frightmare out of my mind the villain looks very cool. I think the episode is gonna be called Frightmare...don't know much about the villian itself, I dunno I've only been skimming lightly for all I know it's rumored. But just the thought of a dream encroching ghosts gets me all giddy.
