Jeanette9a: Really? What song?
Pearl84: I'm glad you can't wait for more. As for Vlad….. I'm so evil to that man.
Dpfangurl: Sorry, I know it's been a while. Blame the teacher for making the exam so da%^ long.
AzawrathandDusk: Writing the dream was my favorite part. I'm glad you loved the chapter
ParisPhantom: I'm glad you loved it.
Fear the Mewfour:This is where me and you agree, I also hate twilight(not trying to offend my readers that love it but everyone has preferences). But I'm still not going to do that to Danny. You can though in your own story, I'll even let you reference to this one but Danny/wolf/cat thing not happening here. Not to sound mean… if I did sorry, but yeah.
Thanks to all of you for reviewing it really made my day. It also makes my IFs happy *notices Hook sulking in corner* well Vlad's happy anyways and that's all that really matters since it IS his story.
Also I wrote this chapter while listening to: Feel like a monster(gee I wonder why? XD)
ENJOY!
I don't own Danny phantom
Sorry another AN: I've noticed everybody talks about how Danny feels with his evil self(even though this is before that fact) but no one ever talks about Vlad's evil, for lack of a better word, self. You see I've never really seen Vlad as evil (maybe I should but I don't) and I wondered how his combining with Danny would make him the monster we see in TUE. Also notice that in TUE that Vlad says his evil SIDE overwhelmed Danny, which means that only part of Vlad is evil. Ok I think I'm done ranting now.
Chapter Six
Danny had long since extinguished the flames around his hands; it had created spooky looking shadows. He had decided that he would rather have complete darkness than have eerie shadows hovering over him. It didn't help that when he had had the energy "on" the way it had reflected on Vlad's face had been uncannily spine-chilling. It had made the older hybrid look dead, although in retrospect that is what he was. Kinda.
Danny had never really gotten used to the fact that he was half dead and half alive; it hurt his mind too much to think about it for too long. It was also kinda creepy, ok really creepy. What pulled Danny out of his thoughts was something even scarier though, Vlad Plasmius was screaming.
Danny jerked his head towards the other hybrid and ran towards him. If he had been thinking about it he would've realized how ironic it was that he was running to help Vlad. When he reached Vlad he saw the man writhing on the ground but yet it appeared as though the older hybrid was still asleep.
"Daniel." The sleeping man whispered making the boy tense even more.
"Vlad wake up!" the boy shook him but his plea fell on deaf ears, the man was too immersed in his dream.
He screams in rage and fear but recoils in shock and disbelief wanting nothing more than to run and escape this horrible nightmare. He looks down at the broken boy's body and falls to his knees with a sob. He grabs the boy's lifeless hand "Daniel."
A laugh that is his yet isn't sounds in his ears and he looks over to the other supposedly dead version of himself.
"Why have you done this?" The enraged Vlad yells.
The other Vlad smiles as it stands up but grabs his front and pulls him close the two identical faces near to touching. "WE haven't done anything yet. This is a warning Vlad Plasmius. Be cautious in our dealings with Daniel's blood. Or this" here the monster/Vlad gestures to the teen "WILL happen."
Danny stared down at Vlad, wishing the man would wake up. He had tried everything from slapping the hybrid to quietly whispering for him to wake up. Now he sat with his back against the wall his arms folded on his knees, once in a while glancing at Plasmius to see if he had woken up.
"Come on you fruit-loop, pull out of it." He said half-heartedly but was surprised when he heard a groan come from the man.
"C-call me a f-f-fruitloop one more time and I will b-b-blast you into the wall" the man managed to gasp out. It hurt to breathe but he was pretty sure that it was from the horror of the dream.
Danny was relieved but he instantly frowned at Vlad "What happened?"
Vlad couldn't bring himself to face the boy, he didn't like thinking about his dream and when he looked at the boy he kept seeing the boys body laying on the ground…. Best not to think about it.
"Vlad?" the boy asked softly.
"It was just a nightmare little badger."
Danny wished then that he could read Vlad's mind "Some nightmare, you were screaming Vlad."
Vlad smiled bitterly "As I said it was a nightmare," He went to get up but Danny pushed him back down. Vlad raised his eyebrows in surprise "I'm not going to break Daniel, let me up."
"Not until you tell me what you saw!"
Vlad looked up into the determined eyes above him and then lowered them to the ground staring into a void that only he could see "A monster Daniel, a truly horrible being."
Danny reluctantly let the man up and followed him through the opened passageway but a thought plagued his mind "What could possibly scare Vlad Plasmius?"
As soon as they stepped into the new corridor Vlad decided that he hated it. After about ten minutes of walking in it they discovered that it was lined with mirrors. He hated the way that it seemed to mock his curse. He always looked up expecting to see his reflection even though he knew it wouldn't be there. All he saw was Daniel. It made him feel as if he wasn't even there, too insignificant to be reflected in a simple piece of glass. He glowered at the offending sheets wishing they'd go away.
Danny was also affected by the hall of mirrors, not only because Vlad wasn't showing up but it mimicked all of his moves. It made him very self-conscious. He jumped when he heard the shattering of glass.
Tired of the mirrors and needing an outlet for his rage Plasmius shot his red rays at all of the mirrors within range, effectively destroying the sheets; hardly noticing Daniel's cry of surprise as the boy turned intangible to avoid the falling pieces of glass. Vlad himself was ignorant of the shards, taking it in stride as the pieces fell on him and around him.
Danny swallowed as he watched Vlad obliviously walk through the raining glass. Somehow his enemy looked far more powerful when things were falling around him. He looked into Plasmius's eyes and gasped, in the midst of the usual fiery red was a swirling spiral of black.
"Vlad?" Danny whispered, hoping that Vlad would respond but at the same time that wishing he wouldn't.
The vampire/ghost looked over at the young hybrid and felt something take over. Locking his gaze with Danny he walked towards his now-paralyzed prey. He closed his gloved hand on the crossbreed's small throat and pushed his victim against the corridor's wall. His thumb rubbed against the jugular loving how he could feel the pulse of blood beneath it.
Danny felt something heavy draped over him as he stared into his arch-enemy's swirling eyes. The eyes commanded him to give in and morph, to go limp. To the boy's mind's horror he did, he felt his body shut down and surrender, becoming a puppet for Vlad. On the outside he was complacent on the inside he was kicking and screaming.
The vampire looked down at the weakling in his grasp and grinned a feral smile, his fangs gleaming. He opened his mouth and started to bring the daggers towards his prey.
The boy looked at the overgrown canines heading his way with what one could call disinterest, but his mind was freaking out. Finally, when he felt the points touch his flesh his brain took control of enough of his body to let out a small whimper and then his body was muffled once more.
He was so ready to thrust in his fangs and feed off of Danny but something stopped him, the boy's whine. Reality returned to Plasmius with a snap and he stumbled back from Danny, his hand letting go of the boy's neck, and he dropped to the ground his breath harsh in his own ears. He curled up into a ball against the far wall, his hands digging into the rock that made up the ground.
The next thing Danny knew was that he was on the floor, he touched his neck expecting to feel two puncture marks in it but it was smooth. He looked over at the huddled form of Vlad, unexpected emotions surged through him each warring with each other. His compassion won and he made his way over to Vlad and put his hand on the man's shoulder.
"That was too close for comfort. But what am I supposed to do? If I drink I become more vampire-like yet, if I don't drink I become too hungry and end up doing this anyways…"
The older hybrid's thoughts scattered when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at his younger counterpart with confusion
"Why on earth would he want to even be near me when I've almost caused his death?"
Vlad turned his gaze back at the ground; he didn't want to meet the boy's gaze anymore. He couldn't stand the intensity that was in the boy's icy blue eyes. He scrunched his hands tighter upon the ground in an effort to shut out his ever-present need. Luckily he succeeded
"For now, that is."
He sighed and without looking to see what Daniel thought stood up and started walking down the corridor, the crunch of glass beneath his feet.
The silence that ensued made it possible for each hybrid to navigate through their separate yet linked thoughts. The only thing that was heard was the thump and echo of their boots hitting the stone ground.
Danny stared at his feet and watched them strike the floor; every once in a while he would look up at Vlad to see if the strange swirly things were in his eyes. He had figured out that the arrival of the whirling spirals meant that Vlad was about to go crazy on him. But what exactly was he to do if he did notice the twirling lines? He kicked a rock that was on the ground in frustration and watched it bounce around.
Vlad looked from the rock that the younger hybrid had kicked to the teen himself. Daniel looked worn out, ready to take a week long nap.
"A wonder that he's still standing."
His eyebrows creased in concern and he called out to the boy "Daniel wait."
Danny stopped and turned around at Vlad's request, with a confused frown upon his face "What is it Plasmius?"
"I'm rather tired, little badger; do you think that we could stop for a minute to let me rest?"
If Danny hadn't been so exhausted he would've noticed how strange it was for Vlad to admit to weakness, but as it was Danny just nodded "Sure go ahead, I'll keep watch."
Vlad smiled to himself and laid on the floor with the pretense of falling asleep, keeping one red eye slit open to watch Daniel. Soon the young crossbreed's head nodded and he was dead to the world. Vlad smirked, got up and crossed over to his counterpart; rearranging the boy to where he would be most comfortable and putting his cape on the small hybrid. "Sometimes, my boy, you are such an easy pawn to manipulate."
Danny's first sight when he opened his eyes was Plasmius's own orbs glowing in triumph, the man's fangs showing through his wide grin. Startled the teen jumped back with a frightened yelp; thinking for a minute that Vlad was in vampire-mode again. He was both relieved and annoyed when his suspicion was confirmed as false when he heard Vlad's mocking laughter.
"Oh, Daniel sometimes you make me laugh."
"What's so funny Vlad!?" Danny glowered at the offending hybrid, wanting nothing more than to punch him in his blue face to wipe the smirk off.
Vlad's grin grew even wider at seeing the boy's scowl and buffed his fingers against the black 'v' of his outfit "It's not my fault that you're so amusing when you're sleeping."
Danny's stare grew even more dangerous, his hands fisting at his sides as he tried to control his anger towards the irritating man. He was dimly curious as to what Vlad was referring to but was certain that the older hybrid would tell him.
"For instance did you know that you talk in your sleep? I knew we were similar but not THAT similar. Thanks to your little, what should I call it….ability? I was able to discern some interesting information."
"What are you talking about?"
"Does the name Paulina Fenton ring a bell?"
Danny's mouth dropped open and he felt his cheeks heat up with both anger and embarrassment. "Tha- Bu-"
"Don't bother trying to deny it my boy; we both know that you are more like me than you care to admit."
"At least I'm not going after a married woman!"
Vlad just chuckled at this "And yet she is still as out of reach for you as Maddie is for me." Still chortling at the boy's plight Plasmius walked off "Come on Daniel, lets get this over with."
Making strangled noises in his throat Danny followed.
I know I know it's not as interesting or as long as the last chapter but I promise that the next chapter will have some action. Also the reason this was later than usual is because of a Biology exam….
Vlad: Liar that's not the only reason this is late now is it?
PandH: No…. it's not
Hook: Tell them the real reason you scurvy-faced dog.
PandH: FINE! I admit I've been going on a Doctor Who craze and ignoring this completely. My apologies. *runs for cover when she notices readers cocking guns*
