Chapter 9

After the little "incident" with the cats and the appearance of the ghost boy, all hopes for a ghost hunting free vacation were quickly stamped out.

However, for the two teens this proved to have its advantages, they're parents had announced that they were going to go and "set up the perimeter" and then proceeded to leave the two alone in the GAV earning the two some free time.

Danny was resting in his seat reading one of the books he had though to bring along, while Jazz was typing away at her laptop, on the internet thanks to Maddie, who had so thoughtfully put an internet access point within the GAV.

"I really hope that all those cats made it out all right." Danny murmured as he looked over the top of his book at Jazz. Jazz raised her eyes from the screen and met his ice blue gaze.

"I'm sure they're fine, you really should stop worrying Danny." She stated then she returned back to typing away at her computer. "You did everything you could." Danny didn't speak for a moment then he tossed his book aside.

"No, I didn't." Jazz didn't flinch as the two white rings erupted from his waist and moved upwards towards his head, while the other ring descended to his feet, changing white tee and jeans into a black jumpsuit and sneakers into white boots.

"What are you going to do?" Jazz asked as she closed her laptop and placed it down on the empty seat beside her, she rose from her seat and stood in front of her little brother.

Danny glanced out the window at the forest. "I'm going to make use of the power Shade and Midnight gave me, I'm going to speak to these cats myself."

Jazz raised an eyebrow at this. "Are you sure that's a good idea? Those cats are probably going to be very jumpy after their encounter with mom and dad today, maybe you should wait a while before you end up doing something you'll regret." Danny turned her head and his neon green eye met hers.

"I have to do this Jazz, those cats were part of Leafkit's clan, I won't be able to rest until I know if they're okay and well maybe I do what to see Leafkit again." Jazz still looked concerned and Danny forced a smile. "Don't worry, if it'll make you feel better I'll stay invisible until I decide its safe, okay?" jazz folded her arms and looked down at the ground.

After a few tense seconds she let out a sigh and then she nodded her head.

"All right," then she lifted her head and jabbed a finger in his direction. "But you better keep an eye out for Mom and Dad got it? I don't want to have to come running to your rescue." Danny's face erupted into a grin.

"Yes m'am!" he said giving her a mocking salute before he flew up through the roof and vanished from sight.

Jazz shifted over to the window and gazed out it. "Be safe." She murmured.

"Okay, phew convincing Jazz took longer than I'd have liked." Danny murmured running a gloved hand through his snow white hair. "Now let's see if we can find that camp of theirs."

"It won't be as easy as you think." A voice spoke from behind him, danny whipped around in confusion.

"Huh who's there? And how can you see me?" Danny asked as he became visible.

"Unlike you I am a spirit who is only able to watch over and guide the living below." Danny twisted around trying to find the source of the voice and then he spotted it, a cat was perched up on a tree branch looking down at him with bright, but see through, amber eyes.

"Who are you?" Danny questioned floating up higher so that he was floating in front of the spirit cat. The cat let out a mrrow of laughter.

"If you follow me, it will be revealed shortly." Then the cat bunched its muscles and then it sprang down gracefully from the branch.

Danny gasped and tried to catch her only to have the cat slip through his hands, he watched her fall open mouthed. Then his eyes widened as the cat began to race away on nothing but thin air.

He shook his head slightly and he closed his still wide open mouth.

"H-hey wait up!" Danny cried extending a hand after the cat, the cat merely glanced over their shoulder before they face front and picked up their pace. Danny sighed. "All right I'm coming!" Danny gathered himself and then he took off after the ghostly cat.

Soon, the cat had decided it was tired of being so close to the ground and had begun to climb higher into the darkening evening sky.

Danny gritted his teeth as he pushed on the sped and followed the cat.

"Hey, come on what's the big hurry?" Danny whined as he struggled to catch up with the cat. The cat glanced back at him again but, said nothing.

Danny glanced down at the landscape that was passing by below them. He could see the thick trees begin to fan out and then he spotted a small pool surrounded by rock. He found himself drawn to it somehow. Then suddenly time stopped for Danny.

His body froze and the next thing he knew he was spiraling downward.

"AAHH!" He shouted. The landscape continued to grow as he neared it. He tried to stop himself but, it was as if he were made of metal, and the pool was a giant magnet.

The pool continued to grow in size before his eyes as he continued to fall toward it. Finally, after a long fall, he landed with a giant splash into the body of water.

Danny coughed as water filled his mouth and nose as he thrashed wildly underwater for a few moments before managing to break to the surface. He turned his head in the direction of the pebbly shore and he began to swim desperately for it.

But, soon some strange fatigue began to overwhelm him; he managed to reach the shallowest parts of the pool before he collapsed into the water. Danny rolled onto his back most of his body submerged beneath the water.

"Welcome Phantom." Danny turned his head slightly and he saw the cat that had led him to the pool standing directly to his right, its paws tucked beneath its tail.

when he managed to get a better look at the cat, it appeared to be a tortoiseshell and it seemed to have some strange sparkles in it fur that reminded Danny of stars in a night sky.

But, just as he managed to take in the sight of the cat fully, his sight began to fade away into blackness.

"We have been waiting for you to come, welcome."
