Chapter 5: Pt. 1: Goodbye?

Danny woke up to somebody shaking him and calling his name "Danny… Danny!"

Danny opened his eyes and saw his older sister Jazz hovering over him. She looked as if she had been crying "Jazz… what's going on? What happened?"

Jazz sighed as tears started to stream down her face "D… Danny, s… something bad happened."

Danny's eyes went wide "W… what h… happened?"

"Vlad got to dad," she sighed "He was hurt pretty badly Danny, they don't think he'll make it through the night."

Danny's eyes went wide with shock, terror, confusion, anger. He got up and ran towards the front door. Jazz instantly ran after him "Danny, where are you going?"

"To find Plasmius and kick his ass for this!"

"No Danny stop you need to control yourself!" Jazz yelled, she grabbed him and turned him around so he was facing her Danny tried to get out of her grasp but it was impossible and Danny just gave up "We need to get out of here and follow the ambulance."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Meanwhile Maddie was at the convention talking some of the other ghost crazed people.

"My family totally agreed to come here for their spring break." One woman stated

"So did mine." Agreed another woman "They were totally thrilled to come on this trip!"

A moment later a they all turned to Maddie "How bout you?" they asked

Maddie gulped, she knew that her answer wasn't anything like these other mothers. 'Speaking of family, where are Danny and Jazz and why hasn't Jack called?'

Before she could answer the mothers questions, her own thoughts were answered by the ring of her cell phone "Hello"

There was a pause and Maddie's expression changed from happy to scared and terrified. In a few seconds she hung up the phone and with the same expression she had a second ago ran out the door of the convention center.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Danny and Jazz got to the hospital and went over to the nurse's desk "Hello miss!"

The nurse turned around and smiled "Can I help you?"

"Yes, our father was admitted here not to long ago, Jack Fenton."

"One moment please." The nurse turned to her computer and looked him up then turned back to them "Your father is getting checked up on right now. If you go to the waiting room a doctor will be there as soon as possible."

"Thank you." Jazz thanked. They walked over to the waiting room where they sat down waiting for the results.

A few minutes later the waiting room door opened, Jazz and Danny's faces lit up thinking it was the doctor. But it wasn't, it was their mom Maddie.

"Mom!" they both exclaimed. They jumped up from their seat and ran over to her and gave her a hug.

"Did the doctors say anything yet?" Maddie asked while trying her hardest not to break down. She had to be strong for her children. Even though she was terrified that she was going to loose the love of her life.

"They haven't said anything yet." Jazz answered

Maddie sighed "Well, I guess we'll just have to wait."

They went and took a seat in the waiting room, waiting for what hoped to be a happy result.

Maddie sat down with her elbows on her knees and her head in her hands. She was trying her hardest not to freak out, but it was hard, all she could think about what would happen if she lost him. She was trying her hardest not to think about it, but the thought wouldn't go away.

Jazz sat in the seat in the same position as her mom but tears were streaming down her face like a waterfall. She knew that her father wouldn't make it but she tried to have hope. Even if it was slim.

Danny just sat there and stared at the wall. He couldn't believe that he lost the fight. He fought so hard to save his father…

…and now he was in the hospital dying.

He would get back at Vlad Masters, even if it kills him, and nothing was going to stop him.

They were snapped out of their thoughts when the doctor came in.

"Are you the Fenton family?" They got up and practically ran over to the doctor. They were hoping that the news that he was about to give them was good news. "My name is Doctor Rogerwitz and I'll be working on Jack Fenton."

"Is he okay?" Maddie asked

The doctor sighed "He has severe burn marks and bruises. He looks like he was beaten to a pulp. We're still not sure that he'll make it through the night."

Danny backed up into a chair and sat down very shakily. He couldn't believe it! He heard the doctor tell his mother and sister that there was nothing more that they could do. His father was going to die and there was nothing that he or anybody else could do to stop it!

Danny blocked out the rest of the things that the doctor was saying. He was lost in his own thoughts. He fought back many tears that had threatened to come out. A few minutes passed and he didn't even notice his mom and the doctor leave or Jazz come back over next to him.

"D… Danny?"

"How c…could this h…happen Jazz?"

"I… I don't k…know how."

"H… how could we fail him?"

"Danny, stop blaming yourself." Jazz whispered "This is no one's fault but Vlad's"

Danny glared at Jazz "JAZZ, WE SAID THAT WE WOULD PROTECT HIM!"

"Danny, calm down!"

"NOW, HE'S DYING AND IT'S NOT OUR FAULT?"

Jazz grabbed his shoulders "Danny, you're going crazy!"

"Am I?"

"Dad wouldn't want you to act like this."

Danny ignored that answer and then realized something "Why are we just standing around? Why aren't we visiting dad?"

"Danny, we're too young to visit him, they said that he looks so different that he's afraid that it'll scare us."

"I don't care; we should go see him anyway."

"How would you like to do that without getting caught?"

Danny looked at her "Where have you been?"

"You aren't going to use your ghost powers are you?"

"Uh… YEAH!"

"But what if we get caught?"

"Trust me, we won't!" Danny bickered "Now come on!"

Danny turned into his ghost half, turned him and Jazz intangible, and left.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

When Danny and Jazz finally got to the room, they noticed that the doctor was right, he was totally unnoticeable! He looked like he had been put through many burning pit of torture and he had bruises all over him!

Danny and Jazz walked over to the bed where their father lay, fighting for his life. Danny was the first to speak up.

"Hey dad, it's Danny and Jazz," he gulped. He had no idea what to say, especially when his father was in his current state but somehow he just continued.

They both talked to him like they were just talking to him everyday. Then Danny mentioned something that he would've never thought to mention any other day.

"Dad, there's something I need to tell you." Danny admitted. He was nervous about telling him this, but he felt like he needed to "I'm the ghost boy. I know it's hard to believe, but I felt like I needed to tell you. Hey, if you live we can work all of this out ya know. I can tell you all you want to know about ghosts!"

Jazz looked up at him "That was deep Danny."

"I don't know what to do anymore Jazz."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I don't know what to do now that I failed dad and he's going to die soon."

"Don't think that!" Jazz whispered harshly "Just because the doctor said that he might not make it through the night doesn't mean he won't make it!"

Danny looked down and heard two different voices outside the door. He heard a man's voice, it sounded serious and he recognized it, barely, but the recognition was there. Then he heard a woman's voice, he instantly recognized who it was. His eyes went wide and he turned back to Jazz. "Jazz, we've got to go!"

Before Jazz could have a say in it, Danny instantly grabbed her, turned intangible, and flew back to the waiting room.

"Danny, what did you do that for?"

"Didn't you hear outside the door?" Danny asked "It was the doctor and mom, we had to get out!"

Jazz sighed and sunk into a chair. Danny did the same but unlike Jazz, who fell asleep a few minutes later, thought about what had happened.

And just like Jazz, he fell asleep not to long later.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Danny opened his eyes to the sound of his mom sobs. A minute later he heard his sister's voice.

"Mom," Jazz asked "what's going on?"

A few moments later Danny heard the waiting room door open and close. Danny was still half-asleep, didn't realize that it was the doctor and everything the doctor said went one ear and out the other. That was until he heard the doctor say just three words…

"I'm so sorry…"

Danny instantly woke up those two words and jumped out of his seat making everybody look up at him. He started backing away from his crying sister and mother as his breath got heavier and more ragged.

"Danny." his mom whispered to him "Honey come here."

Danny didn't listen to his mom's pleading words. He just kept on backing further away towards the door.

"Danny, are you okay?" Jazz asked

"Okay? OKAY? Dad just died and you're asking if I'm okay?"

"Danny, I know you're upset, we all are." Maddie said as tears kept streaming down her face like a waterfall "But please, calm down!"

Danny turned around and ran out the waiting room door. He ran towards the nearest bathroom and locked the door. He sat down on the toilet as he tried his hardest to stop the tears that threatened to come out.

He didn't know what to do anymore. He was too caught up in a torment of emotions to notice anything that went around him.

After a few minutes he got an idea. He changed into his ghost mode and flew off over to his hometown.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
