18.
'D.. Danny?' I asked in disbelieve. A smile appeared on his face.
Meanwhile all the others looked up when I said Danny's name so hopeful. We all saw him lying on the floor with his eyes open and his beautiful smile. A smile I hadn't seen in a while and I was beyond happy to see it again.
With a huge grin on my face and widened eyes I grabbed him in a massive hug. The others did the same with each other.
But as we all let go and Danny stood on his feet again, Danny and Dougie shared a look. The smiles on both faces disappeared as they were staring at each other when suddenly they ran in each other's arms. Dougie started crying again and Danny held him tight.
'I thought I'd lost you' Dougie cried to his shoulder
'It's ok, I'm here and I'm not leaving you'
'They're best friends since they could walk. Their friendship is so tight, they literally can't live without the other' Harry said as we were watching them. A smile appeared on my face, they're so cute!
Suddenly Danny pulled out of the hug, took Dougie's head between his big hands and whispered something to him. Dougie smiled warmly and whispered something back. Just then Danny turned to me and laid his arm around my shoulder when he got eye of Vicky. I felt how his entire body tensed up. Looking at his face I saw he was staring at Vicky blankly, no emotion was readable.
Then I looked at Vicky, she was uncomfortably pulling at her clothes and her eyes were fixed on everything except Danny. She was afraid to face him now he was looking at her so emotionless.
'Vicky?' Danny asked slowly, his voice was whispering. Afraid that he might show emotion.
Vicky finally looked at Danny when he spoke her name and managed a weak smile. 'Hello little brother' she said
'Are you..?' Danny asked hopeful and now Vicky's weak smile changed to a grin.
'Yes, I am' she said
Danny stared at her for a little while longer, then a smile appeared on his face.
Vicky opened her arms gesturing to hug each other and Danny happily accepted. He ran to her and hugged her tight. I bet they hadn't hugged for quite a while.
Suddenly Harry laid down his hand on Danny's shoulder and he pulled of the hug.
'Glad to have you back mate' Harry said and Danny smiled grateful
'Good to be back'
Just then Danny got sight of the with his blood covered knife on the floor, where Vicky had dropped it. He walked to it and picked it up.
'So.. what happened? How is it that you're alive again?' Harry asked the question we were all asking ourselves.
Danny didn't look up from the knife when he answered. 'I don't know' while raising his shoulders.
'I do' Dax's voice said. We all looked around with shocked faces.
With everything that has been going on we totally forgot about him and his army which he was joined by.
'Don't tell me you're not happy to see me?' Dax asked with face disappointment in his voice.
'Dougie, take Tom to safety' Danny said. Dougie nodded and before I could argue with them I was already standing on a high spot, nearby the ceiling.
'Stay here and lay low' Dougie said and I nodded
'Dougie?' I asked quickly before he took off again.
'Yeah?'
'Don't let Danny die again'
'From this spot you should be able to hear and see everything and I promise you I won't let Danny die on us again. I'll make sure of it.'
'Thanks' I said smiling warmly at him. I don't want to lose Danny.. not again! Now Dougie has promised me that he'll look after Danny, I feel a lot better.
And Dougie was right, I can see and hear everything from this spot. Dougie was already standing with the others again.
'Let's not waste our time with talking' Danny said and Dax smiled
'I agree' Then he turned to his army. 'Pick someone you like boys but Danny's mine!'
Eve and Vicky paired up together, so did Harry and the guard from last time that can walk through Danny's shield. His name is Hisma.
Hyro and Trex were left and only Dougie remained. They both smiled at each other.
'This is going to be piece of cake!' They said smiling wide and high fiving.
Dougie smiled too and waved at them before disappearing. The smiles on both faces faded and they looked around in confusion. That's when Dougie started attacking with speed shots and soon completely knocked them out before they could raise a finger at him.
For Vicky it was just as easy, she copied Dax's power and controlled Eve with levitation. She was knocked out quickly as well before she could do some serious damage.
Harry had a little more trouble with his opponent as his skin was able to resist his electric ball attacks but Dougie stepped in to help. While he was attacking invisible Hisma got distracted and it was easier for Harry to attack and eventually knock him out as well.
Only Danny and Dax remained fighting and that fight was way more exciting than the rest of them.
