Chapter Twenty One
…
Stewart stopped the halfa from the story, "Wait, wait, wait that's all you can do? Come on, start over!"
Danny groaned in annoyance, "I'm telling the story, I get to choose where it goes."
"Yeah, but—"
"Shhh!" Ryan hissed, "Let him tell the story, it is, in fact, his story."
Stewart sighed in defeat, but he did have to admit the story was attracting, but he just wanted it to be more dramatic. But Danny did listen to one thing that Stewart asked—demanded—him to do, the halfa started over. It didn't bug anyone; they weren't far in the story. But who cares? They liked hearing what he had to say.
The two doctors became extremely quiet as Danny started the story again. "It was raining one late evening. The wind blew at every direction and the rain became harder. (Just live with the story please, it's sort of hard to write a story within a story. XD Sorry if it stinks.) Underneath a pine tree, in the park, there was a boy. He sat on the dry grass and watched the rain fall, which surrounded him—"
"Then what?" Stewart rudely interrupted.
Ryan glared at him and Danny chuckled. "We're not going to finish the story if you don't shut up." Ryan said in a tight tone.
"Okay, okay, geez…"
"Anyways," Danny began again, "He enjoyed watching the rain fall, he liked hearing the leaves rustle around him, and he wish it wouldn't end. As he was enjoying the wonderful weather, he heard a twig snap behind him. The young ghost turned around to see what it was, but only saw the bark he was leaning against and nothing else.
"Still not convinced that it was his mind playing around with him, he got up to see what it really was. As he scouted around the tree he noticed that it was probably really his minding messing with him that evening. Danny went back to where he was sitting; his mind went back into the clouds and continued watching the rain fall."
"Wait, how do you know all of this?" Stewart asked. "Were you spying on him?"
"It's a story, Stewart," Ryan glared.
"Right…"
The trio jumped as they heard thunder rumble in the sky, then a second later rain formed. They sat in silence as they watched the rain hit the window; not too soon, the rain got harder and harder.
Finally Ryan broke the silence between them, "Wow, just like the story, eh?"
Danny blinked, "Yeah, I guess."
Stewart giggled softly, "This makes it more dramatic, huh?"
The halfa chuckled, "I guess so. Should we continue?" The doctors didn't need to be asked twice and went back to listening to the story. "The town hero heard something behind him for sure this time, the boy turned around and charged up a ghost ray—"
"A ghost ray?" Ryan asked, "Where do you come up with this stuff?"
Danny glared, "I have my ways. Can I please continue and stop interrupting." After getting a nod in reply, Danny continued, "But he didn't see anything; the ghost kid finally stepped in the rain, getting soaked almost immediately. It was hard to see through the rain, but he managed to see pretty much everything that was at least a few feet from him.
"He heard a noise on the left of him, snapping his head at that direction he didn't see anything, just more rain. He started to irritated and started walking towards that direction. Finally he saw something else, other than rain, he saw something that glowed—"
"Don't go into the light!" Stewart cried out.
Danny paused and stared at the doctor before bursting out in laughter. Ryan couldn't help to snicker at the outburst. Stewart blushed, "Hey, it sounded like a good time to do it."
"Well, it sure it nice to get a bit of humor around here," Ryan admitted, smiling. "Right Danny?"
"R-Right," The halfa said, trying to hold his laughter. He forced himself to take deep breaths before starting the story again, "The ghost boy inched towards the light and it became clearer by the second. But before he could make it out completely, it disappeared, leaving him in the middle of the rain, having no clue where he was.
"Danny made his ecto ball brighter to see better, but of course it didn't really help. The rain kept making it fizzle out or making it dim; so he walked around, feeling like he was absolutely blind."
"Ecto ball, seriously?" Ryan asked.
Danny sighed, ignoring the doctor, and continued, "Then he felt a sharp pain go across his back, sending him further than where he was once standing. He found out that he was lying on the muddy grass; Danny got back up to his feet, now ready to attack at any second.
"He charged up another—" Danny put his hand up to tell Ryan that he couldn't insult his names with the powers he had, "—Ghost ray in his palm and looked around furiously. The ghost kid saw the attacker at least ten feet away from him, well he wasn't able to see the attacker, but he could see that the attacker had something glowing on it.
"The glow increased and it started to come closer to him—"
All the sudden the lights flickered and it went out. Stewart let out a shrilled scream and Ryan hurried and covered his mouth from the painful noise. Danny looked around the room, it wasn't completely dark to him, it was just dim. He quietly thanked for his better eye sight at the moment.
"It's totally dark in here," Stewart whispered, "I can't see anything! Wow, what a coincidence."
Danny could see that Ryan and Stewart were still in their seats, looking around to see if they could see something at least. Ryan glanced to where he thought Danny would be sitting, "Well, are you okay Danny?"
"Huh?" Danny asked, "Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I'm not scared of the dark."
"YES!" Stewart cheered. "It gets more DRAMATIC!"
After Stewart did, Danny flinched when they heard a crash. Knowing what happened, Danny got off of his bed and went to help Stewart back up. Stewart got really excited and it caused him to fall backwards on his chair.
"What happened?" Ryan asked.
"Uh, Stewart fell back on his chair," Danny said, grabbing Stewart's arm.
Stewart freaked out when Danny's hand came in contact with his arm, "Something got me! HELP!"
"Stewart!" The halfa hissed, "It's just me, I'm trying to help you up."
"Wait you can see in this dark room?" Ryan suddenly asked, making his way, slowly, towards his buddy. "I can't even see my hand in front of my face."
"Uh, yeah, better eye sight?" Danny said, even though it came out as a question. The halfa grunted as he pulled Stewart back to his feet.
"Wow, you sure can lift people up," Stewart said as he gained his balance.
"Wait, I got down here for no reason?" Ryan asked in disappointment.
Danny chuckled, "Nah, besides you were going to help."
"That made me feel so much better," Ryan said dryly as he took a step towards where he heard Danny's voice.
Thunder roared loudly above them.
"Wow, well, the storm doesn't seem to be happy with us," Stewart joked.
"Anyone got a flashflight?" Danny asked. "I can tell the story while we wait for help."
"There should be one under the bed," Ryan said getting to his hands and knees, "I'll try to find it."
"I'll look for it," Danny insisted, "Besides I'm the only one that can see in here."
Ryan finally let Danny get the flashlight, about a minute passed and the room was strangely eerie. Ryan fiddled with his fingers as they waited for Danny to announce that he found flashlight. Stewart tried to see at least one thing in the room, so that he wouldn't feel old compared to Danny. Even though the doctor was like a few years older than him.
30 seconds passed, thought if felt like eternity to the two doctors. Finally Ryan let out a deep breath, "Danny did you find it yet?"
No answer.
Growing a bit worried, "Danny?" He asked again, "Are you there?"
The only response he got was the pounding rain hitting the window.
Startling Ryan, Stewart spoke, "Danny if you're hurt and you need help tell us if you need help."
No reply.
Getting more worried by the second, Ryan slowly made his way towards the bed. He felt the bed and felt his way over to where he last thought Danny was looking at. The young doctor got to his hands and knees again and crawled around the area where Danny was last.
But Danny was nowhere to be found.
Ryan shot up to his feet and said, "Danny's not there." He whispered. "Where is he?"
"We would have heard him move across the room," Stewart pointed out, "He has to be there."
"But I can't find him," Ryan said firmly.
The two doctors stopped talking and tried listening to any sound that they can hear, besides the rain. Another minute passed and Ryan couldn't take it any longer, "Danny where are you?" He cried in the dark room.
"Should we call for help?" Stewart asked worriedly.
"No," Ryan said, "We can't just say "we lost a kid, can you help us"? Besides we can't see in this room. We wouldn't get far before hurting ourselves."
Ryan found his way back to where he was standing and found Stewart nearby; he decided to stay by Stewart just in case anything else went wrong. They didn't say much, but they worried deeply for Danny.
Then a hand gripped on both of their shoulder, they jumped in surprise, letting out a startle scream. The hand released and the two doctors spun around to see who it was, then a light appeared right in front of them an eerie face hovered over the light.
The two doctors screamed in fight.
