Hey guys! Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm getting a bunch of positive reviews and PMS and its really making me happy, and it encourages me to write more and more of this story. I glad that you guys like it so much. So here a little bit of a treat in celebration. IT'S VLAD. Writing his POV was actually a lot of fun. His character is one of my favorites to write i think out of everything I done. I'm not sure why, i think it's just his regal air and his confident attitude that make writing from his POV so nice. Anyways I hope you guys enjoy this next chapter.


Special-Vlad POV:

I sighed as I let myself sink down into my very comfortable armchair. It was big, it was comfortable, and it was expensive. 'Just like my lifestyle.' I thought with a smirk on my face. I swung my leg over the other, and picked up my book of the coffee table, flipping to the page I had left off at.

With a great sigh I relaxed further into my chair, letting the words of a different time and different place wash over me. There was nothing like a good book in your favorite chair on a Sunday morning.

The minutes ticked by, but I didn't even give them a thought. Today I had nothing but a blank schedule and a good book. My butler walked in handing me a beautiful ornate mug, filled with a light colored coffee, and a decoration of a leaf made with the cremer floating on top. I nodded to him, taking the cup and sipping it lightly as the butler made his way out of the room.

I hummed as the warmth filled me, and let out another sigh as I lowered the cup, releasing the hot air from the liquid that was previously in my mouth.

I went back to my book, turning the page when I had finished the one I was on. Soon I was lost once again in the book I was reading.


'I knew I had heard something.' i thought as I silently glided up to my front door and peeked out of the spy hole. I sighed for the up tenth time that day, but this time out of annoyance rather than content, when I saw no one outside my door. 'If there's a rodent hiding in my walls it will have to be dealt with swiftly.' I thought as I began to shuffle away, mush unlike how I appeared.

I paused. I had heard something again. I almost sounded like the whisper of my name. But who in the world.

"Vlad!" There it was again! The voice was familiar, but different. It sound forced, strangled almost. I pinpointed the sound to outside and swiftly walked back to the door, swinging it open rather than checking through the glass this time. I let my ghost energy pulse through me as I did, for multiple reasons. First was so that I was ready to defend myself at a moments notice, the second was to produce a warning to any ghost who might be around.

The spike in ghost energy that I possessed was enough for even some older, more powerful ghost to be dissuaded from attacking.

Lastly the pulse of energy acted as a sort of echolocation, if you will. When my energy sweeped out the way it did I could locate any other ghost's life source energy within its radius. In this case I let it sweep across my entire mansion and slightly more, just to make sure there were no others sneaking around.

To my surprise I felt a faint energy source right next to me. Again it was familiar, but weak, and struggling. My head whipped in their direction, wondering why on Earth they were to the side of the door, rather than in front of it. When my eyes met nothing I was forced to look up then… down.

"Daniel?" I said in surprise taking in his form. He was hunched over, leaning fully against the side of my house. Wha- What's happened to you?" I asked almost afraid of the answer. I moving to get a better look by crouching in front of him. His chest heaved with his heavy breath, and as he spoke, he went along with each exhale, struggling to get the words to leave his tongue.

"I-I need-help. Please." He said. My chest constricted at the sight, and my powers flared as I took in the rest of him. He was beaten and bloody. His shirt was barely hanging off his body and his hair was caked with his own blood. Cuts, burns, and lacerations littered his torso, and by the way he winced when he shifted I could tell his back must not be much better.

Whoever had done this was going to pay. Sure I knew Daniel fought ghosts, and I knew that it was inevitable to get badly hurt or even killed, but these wounds were worse. The were deliberate. Intensionale. This was torture. My eyes flared red before I blinked it away, unwilling to let Daniel see me uncontrolled.

I that moment I reached out to him, wanting to will away the pain I could see in his eyes, his posture. But I thought better of it before I touched him. I did not want to scare away this boy. This boy who I had been trying to help for year, but unable to do so when he was apart of Jack Fenton's household. I despise that man, and I knew that his obsession for ghost overpowered even his love for his family.

Daniel was quite the opposite though. His love for his friends and family was deep, and he didn't care whether you where ghost or human, if you tried to threaten either of them, then the aggressor would not be around long enough to know what they had done wrong.

I wished that I could be more like Daniel. Ignorant to the evil ways of humans. Their lies, and misconceptions. They act like they're your friends, but then when you need them most, they vanish. Humans are the worst kind of creatures. There were only a few, sparks of light in the endless abyss, that are worth any kind of pain fighting for. Daniel was one of those sparks.

Even if he wasn't all human.

But why had the boy come to me? I was his enemy in his eyes. He would rather tell his ghost hunting parents that he was a ghost than come to me for help.

"You want ME to help You?" I asked him unable to figure out why. Assumptions would get me nowhere. I needed to know why.

"Please." He said again his voice weaker than before. "Nowhere-left. Noone…" His voice trailed of and his eyes clenched shut. I felt my ghost flare again within me. Had his friends and family all been killed? Had he been left alone in the world, all alone? Had he become so desperate for help that he was willing to seek it out even from who he thought of as the enemy? I took a deep breath calming myself once again.

Daniel was here, and he was safe. Albeit he was weak and unpredictable. He was safe.

Daniel suddenly cried out in pain, trying in vain to curl in on himself. I watched as what was left of his shirt become soaked in blood. The origin of the wound at his back. He must have reopened a wound. I thought quickly. After a moment of indecision I knelt down and carefully scooped the boy up in my arms.

He was lighter than he should have been. The passing thought caught my attention, but was shoved to the back of my mind as the boy hissed in pain. I began making my way through my mansion quickly, careful as to not jolt him more than was needed, and wishing that my medical bay was slightly closer to the front of the house.

Wishing for such things though was pointless, so my thoughts refocused on the small halfa in my arms. The only other halfa in the world. They only one in the world who was like him. I would not lose Daniel. My thoughts ran wild going back and forth between wonder who could have done this and in what manner I would make them pay.

I was distracted when Daniel's head fell against my chest, and I almost stopped walking completely at his words.

"No-" he whispered. I could not tell if he meant me to hear it or not. Did he change his mind? Did he not want my help after all? Did he still see me as an enemy even in the state that he was in? "No more." I was confused now. Not that I wasn't before. No more what? I thought. Pain? My eyebrows furrowed at the thought.

Had he become delusional and thought he was back with his captors? My pace quickened again. Daniel was now unconscious in my arms. A flash of panic shot through my body, but I shoved it down. His wounds were not life threatening. They might have been if he had opened his wound up again somewhere else and it was not treated.

But I was here. He was here. He was going to be fine.

Daniel was safe.
