Chapter 23: Lost!

Danny flew around the Ghost Zone wearily, trying to focus on what he was doing. "Man, that ghost smoke really w-works," Danny yawned.

He looked around for a while then yelled:" ALLYSON!" No answer. "What am I thinking, this place is huge, she could be anywhere," Danny said.

He floated around for a while until his natural instinct took him over and he flew in a specific direction. Without even noticing it, Danny landed on both feet in the Far Frozen.

Danny wandered around for a while until he bumped into a tree. Danny rubbed his nose and looked around.

"How'd I…end up…here?" Danny said getting drowsier. He looked around again for any foot prints or something that would tell him if Allyson was there, but there was nothing.

"Ma-maybe…I'll just lay down…for a second," Danny said dropping to the floor and landing in a soft pile of snow. He instantly fell asleep.

All of a sudden, Danny remembered some things:

"I don't know what you're talking about, I haven't seen that thing in centuries," Frostbite said.

"Don't lie to us, the tracker says that it's in this area," the first ghost said. "Then it's wrong," Frostbite said.

"It's never wrong, where is it?" the second ghost asked sharply. Danny gasped. The ghosts turned around and Danny slapped both hands over his mouth.

"Search him," the first ghost said. The second ghost pinned Danny's hands behind his back and the first ghost ran a tracker over Danny's body. When it reached his chest, it started beeping rapidly, Danny gasped.

"Hand it over kid," the ghost said reaching for Danny's collar. Danny kicked the ghost away from him.

Danny twitched at the thought.

"What…was that…all about?" Frostbite asked, also breathing hard. "Nothing," Danny said pushing himself up with his elbows.

Danny twitched again.

"You're hiding something, what's wrong?" Frostbite asked. "Nothing," Danny said not looking back at Frostbite.

"What's wrong?" Frostbite asked again. "NOTHING!" Danny snapped wheeling around. He had said it so loud, his voice echo through the whole cave.

Danny sniffled. He felt horrible for yelling at his friend.

"Just stay here, I'll be back, I promise!" Danny said sharply. Frostbite sighed and said: "Be careful."

Danny almost subconsciously got up when he thought of something else:

"You've just been trying to get on my good side, haven't you? You just want to hurt me, don't you?!" Allyson said through tears.

"WHAT?! Who told you that?!" Danny asked. "The Guys in White!" Allyson said. "Don't listen to them, they don't know what they're talking about!" Danny said.

"I think they know EXACTLY what they're talking about! You killed all those people Danny, how am I suppose to trust you?!" Allyson asked.

"Ally, I had a reason!" Danny said. "WHY?! Because you're evil?!" Allyson asked. "I'M NOT EVIL!" Danny snapped.

"Then why'd you do it, WHY?!" Allyson asked.

Danny wished he'd of just told her, instead of making it worse.

"ALLYSON! RUN! GET OUT OF HERE!" Danny cried as Vlad blasted him against a wall.

Vlad pinned Danny to the wall and Danny cried: "GO! NOW!" Allyson didn't take another second to think before she ran for the open portal.

"Don't you dare!" Vlad snapped. He aimed a blast at Allyson, but accidentally hit a button on the side of the portal.

As soon as Allyson ran through the portal, it started to close. "NO!" Danny cried. He ran for the portal, but it had already closed.

Danny whimpered at the thought.

"Now, give me the amulet," Vlad said. "NEVER!" Danny snapped wheeling around as his hand glowed bright green.

"Very well then," Vlad said and phased through a wall.

Danny eyes snapped open and he subconsciously sat up. Snow had started falling and Danny looked around. "I've gotta save Ally, and my friends and family, " Danny said getting up.

Despite the fact he was still a little bit drowsy, Danny paid full attention on finding Allyson, but first, he figured he'd find Frostbite to apologize.
