Chapter 16: Vlad's Offer
Danny was brought to Vlad's lab and was tied to a chair with glowing green rope. "Alright Daniel, we can make this as painless as possible," Vlad said.
"How?! Why am I here?" Danny asked. "I believe I'M the one asking the questions here, now Daniel, what do you know about this?" Vlad asked showing a picture of the Dark Spirits book.
Danny gulped and said: "Nothing, I've never seen that book before." "Oh stop Danny, I know you've seen this book before, I recall it was about fourteen years ago," Vlad said slyly.
"Why do you care about some stupid book anyway?" Danny asked. "It's not just any stupid book, it happens to be the only book containing enough information about ghosts without giving away everything about the Ghost Zone, but there is something I'm after," Vlad said. "Oh really?" Danny asked sarcastically.
"According to legend, the original copy that came from the Ghost Zone had an ancient amulet on page three, which seems to not exist in the books the sell in the stores, do you know why that is Daniel?" Vlad asked.
"No clue," Danny said flatly. "Oh come now Daniel, if you want to get out of here I suggest you just tell me who has the page, and the amulet," Vlad said narrowing Is eyes on Danny.
"No one has the page," Danny said truthfully. "Well, does anyone have the amulet?" Vlad asked.
"I-I don't know what amulet you're talking about," Danny lied. "Well if you know about the page, you must know where the amulet is," Vlad said.
"Why do you care anyway?" Danny asked. "Ah, Daniel, you're so young and naïve, haven't you already figured out that my soul purpose in life is to rule?" Vlad asked.
"I thought you're soul purpose in life was trying to kill my dad and marry my mom," Danny said. "Well that too, but my primary focus as of now is to rule," Vlad said.
"Forget it Vlad, I wouldn't tell you where the amulet is even if you threatened me!" Danny said. "Oh really? Well what if I said 'If you don't help me, I WILL kill your father, marry your mother, and destroy your friends'?" Vlad asked.
Danny's eyes widened. "You wouldn't!" Danny said. "Are you sure about that?" Vlad asked slyly. "No! You can't!" Danny cried.
"I can, and there's nothing you can do to stop me," Vlad said. Danny started sweating rapidly. He didn't want to do anything.
"If you get me the amulet by midnight, I'll spare you're family and friends, but if not…"Vlad motioned his finger across his neck.
Danny gulped, sighed, and said: "Alright." "Very good," Vlad said untying Danny. "You can go now," Vlad said motioning towards the door.
Danny flew off as quickly as possible. He didn't want to give Vlad the amulet. Who knew what Vlad would do if he had it. He'd have to save his friends and family if he wanted to stop Vlad.
