A/N: So this is a RIDICULOUSLY short chapter…but it just didn't feel right to continue this particular one further. I felt like this little 220 word section needed to be isolated. Sorry for it, but…as I said: It felt wrong to add more to it…sue me. Actually, don't, because you wouldn't get enough money to pay for your attorney anyway. Anyway…it's SUPER, SUPER short, but enjoy the angst anyway!
Chapter #23: Are You?
Something's wrong…
Why do I feel so…hot?
Blood blossoms…blood blossoms…right…
Are you really just going to let them talk like that, Daniel?
Don't call me Daniel!
They'll sell you and Sam like livestock! Sam's good, but even she can't match a crew of pirates with lethal weapons.
She…she'll be fine. I'm sure Tuck's noticed something wrong by now…
You're talking as though there isn't a time limit! You need to act now, while they aren't expecting it. They don't know, do they? They don't know that your precious humanity allows you to neutralize blood blossoms more quickly than normal. I suppose there is a reason to keep it.
Shut up.
You're weak, Danny. Let me help you.
I said shut up!
Now, now, that's not way to talk to a friend…to yourself.
I am not you! I…
You have the power of the Infinite Realms at your fingertips, and you spend your time playing the hero of Amity Park?!
What's so bad about that? You have no right–
You have no right! You were positioned to become the next Ghost King. You would have wielded the power of a god! But instead, you pulled your half-formed self back to your humanity. You bound yourself and Daniel Fenton to a lowly half-life!
I am Danny Fenton!
Are you sure about that?
