After asking to spend time with Sam and Tucker to his parent's, they said yes and be sure to come home in time before curfew. Danny was upstairs in his room, getting ready, and taking the time to drink a caffeinated drink to wake himself up and be more alert, he didn't want to sound like some zombie while having fun with his best friends. He still however, felt uneasy on the way home.

Putting his hand under his chin, he was lost in thought. He was trying to make sense of it all. He was too in deep in thought he almost didn't hear the gentle knocking on his door.

"Danny? Can I come in?"

He turned his head,

"Uh, yeah, come in Jazz."

His older sister opened the door, half smiling. She walked up to him.

"I just wanted to check on you before you left, is everything okay?" She asked sweetly.

Should I tell her? He thought, he knew how she became when something was up and she knew. And then her protective instincts took over. Sometimes that was either a good or a bad thing.

"Before you tell me, I noticed you looked kinda scared when you came home-" She started,

"Oh, you noticed? I was trying to hide it all." Danny grunted.

"I won't be pushy about it, if you want to tell me you can, it's up to you." She suggested.

Danny sighed. He'll explain just a little.

"Okay, I heard these weird sounds while me, Tucker and Sam where talking about getting together for the night and I got this cold chill." He shrugged.

'"Isn't that from your powers? You call it your "Ghost Sense?" Jazz said, confused.

"I'm not sure. Normally when there's a ghost nearby, my breath is cold and I kinda know where it is. But it didn't happen. I felt cold, but the cold air from my breath didn't appear."

"Oh, of course!" Jazz's face brightened, "It's got to be the change in weather making you confused by it."

Danny's shoulders drooped. This was just making him more confused and getting harder to explain.

"For now, can we drop it? If anything really bad happens, I'll let you know." He waved one hand and started to walk towards the door.

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow, just..."

She paused.

"What?"

"-If something does happen, make sure you come home safely." Jazz finished.

"You worry too much." Danny replied, with a small smile.

He turned, and without expecting it, Jazz had hugged him in a one-armed hug, then she went to her room.

"Ew, gross."

Then he smiled wider and blushed.


Before leaving, Danny transformed into his ghost half, and turned invisible, his now white hair flew back from the wind. He flew to Sam's house without being seen or running into any ghosts on the way, which would've been a huge pain. He did take a quick detour to some of the neighborhoods he knew to look at the Halloween decorations they had set up in their front yards, he enjoyed looking at all the different kinds they had.

Then he flew to the direction he needed to go to. He made contact with solid ground and into the Manson's front porch, and reverted to his human self. Then, he remembered Sam's parents, remembering in the past that they weren't too fond of him. It made him wonder,

"If they're allowing her to have me and Tucker over, she must've done some serious convincing to them, or I'm dreaming all this and going crazy."

He rang the doorbell, which played a 10 second long tune, it was some fancy doorbell sound. The door opened and out came out Sam, Danny had expected her to say her greetings before letting him in, but instead she said nothing, smiled widely and grabbed his arm with brute strength and pulled him inside. This all happened in just mere seconds, so fast he couldn't wrap his mind around it and was now gasping for breath.

"Happy you're here, Danny!"

"Why did you pull me in like that?!" Danny gasped, he panted with both hands on his knees, he had the wind knocked out of him.

Sam didn't answer, she grabbed his arm again and led him to her private theater, Tucker was already sitting in front of a big tv screen.

"I just grabbed you like that so you could avoid my parents, that's all, plus just excited to start this thing."

"I saw "that" on the security camera, pretty funny." Tucker chuckled.

"I almost died." Danny stated flatly.

"Aren't you already half-dead?" Tucker said as- in -matter of -fact.

"Let's not stand here, let's get started." Sam said.

"So what is this "game" we're playing?"

Sam took her seat, she was holding something in her hands, a controller. Danny stared at it.

"Whoa, is that the controller for the game? it's awesome!" Danny's eyes widened, amazed.

It was black, but in front of it had a blue, bright triangular light, its shape was something he'd never seen before in his life.

"I've never heard of the console before either, it must be super new stuff, it's called a "PS4." Tucker said.

"A PS what?"

"The game Danny, is a demo version of the new upcoming installment of a franchise, it's called "Silent Hill." She explained.

"Silent Hills..." Danny said to himself. Didn't sound scary at all, but he was starting to have chills again, but he pushed it aside.

"Where did you get this by the way Sam? I've never seen something like this before." Danny asked, he was still looking at the controller, testing out the buttons.

Sam blinked.

"Truth is, I don't know..." She thought, looking up at the ceiling.

"Can you explain exactly?" Tucker leaned over his seat, curious.

"What's funny is, this morning I woke up to come in here and clean a bit of a mess I made, then I found this and plugged it to the tv, I noticed it was able to use the internet and I saw the ad for the game. But I never really questioned about where it came from." She admitted.

"So you just found it here, randomly?" Danny said, suspicious, he was done looking at the controller and handed it back to her.

"Yeah, but could we figure it out later? I really want to play this game." Sam begged.

"Alright, alright. We all need a break from our lives and ghost fighting anyways, so let's do it." He smiled at her.

"Want to take the lead?" Sam dared him, and handed him the controller.

"Um, sure."

It took a minute or two for Sam to tell him which buttons to use get to the menu, he had no idea how to use it, much less was used to something so advanced. He never really saw an commercials for such a machine. He was starting to get more suspicious.

"Okay, you see the picture with the letters "PT?" go there." She directed.

He did so, and as soon as he did, his breath became cold and air came out of his mouth.

"Um, guys! I think there's..."

Drowsiness took over his mind and body, he saw nothing but darkness.

He heard a voice, and it said.

"I walked.

I could do nothing but walk.

Watch out.

The gap in the door,

It's a separate reality.

The only me is me,

Which one is the real you?"
