Chapter 2

Now Danny knew that he was going get visitors but he thought it would have been Valerie, Vlad or even the Guys in White, not Dash Baxter. His childhood bully.

Danny blinked stupidly as Dash stood at the door way, he even rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing anything. Dash face was hard to read as he had his arms crossed and just stood still making the silence between him and Danny awkward. Danny wasn't sure what to say or what to do; he never really was on good terms with Dash. The silence between them was awkward for a few minutes until Dash finally decided to speak.

"I'm sorry," he said. Danny blinked but wasn't surprised since every nurse that came into his room said 'sorry for your lose'.

"You mean sorry for your family right?" Asked Danny. Dash shook his head no.

"No, I mean 'sorry' as in I'm sorry for how I treated you and your friends. If I know that was going happen I would have stopped," he said. Danny chuckled darkly to that as he hanged his head down making his eyes covered by his bangs.

"You're sorry for what you did to use? I don't believe you, you only feel sorry because they're dead and you feel guilty for making our lives hell. Even if you had known I doubt you would have stopped," Danny spat out at Dash. Dash flinched at Danny's harsh words, he never seen him so angry before

"No I mean it I am sorry for bullying you guys, you… You didn't deserve the treatment we gave you just because you guys were different from use," Dash said while he hanged his head from the shame he felt. Danny just glared at him as he fell back on his bed.

"Prove it then," said Danny. Dash head snapped up.

"What?"

"Prove to me that you are sorry for what you did, if you do that then I will consider forgiving you and the others," Danny stated.

"How?" Asked Dash. Danny rolled his eyes at Dash's stupidity

"You and the other A-listers stop bullying anyone who's different and start acting like good role models for others. Also accept anyone who is weird then I might forgive you." After Danny said that he rolled over to his side and pulled the covers up. "Now leave and don't bother me again," he demanded.

Dash stared at Danny for a few minutes before he left. He was surprised at how Danny was so different from before. Danny was no longer the geek he remembered bullying in fact he looked more like someone who was in constant pain. What did he expect; Danny just lost his close friends and family and blamed himself for failing to save them.

Danny breathed in the fresh air in the hospital's garden. It was mid-evening and the garden was almost completely empty except for Danny. He sighed as he leaned his head back on the bench he was sitting at, with his eyes half open as he stared at the clouds that were lazily making their way across the sky. Danny would have been flying through that sky to relieve his stress but it would cause suspicion if he couldn't be found anywhere in the hospital.

What am I goanna do after I get out of here. Danny thought to himself, even though he already knew what was going to happen. He would be sent to live with Vlad and later become Dan Phantom due to no longer being able to carry the weight of his family's death. Danny shook his head as he thought that.

I won't become Dan; I can't blame the world for my fault in not saving them. I can't become that monster. Danny looked at his hands and remembered the future he saw if he became Dan. All that blood on his hands of both ghosts and humans.

"What will become of me if I don't become Dan?" He whispered. He heard a branch break and quickly stood up and took a defense of stance. He was still on edge after fighting Dan.

Luckily it was only Valerie. She gasped at Danny for being hostile even though she could understand. Her black wavy hair was held back by an orange headband, her yellow sleeveless shirt and orange skirt stood out among the white flowers in this part of the garden in which Danny was in. Danny sighed from relief seeing it was only Val; he really wasn't in the mood to fight anyone. Valerie's green eyes soften at Danny.

"Hey," she said.

"Hey."

An awkward silence was created between the two until Danny scooted over and patted the place by him on the bench, inviting her over to sit down. After she sat down her and Danny took a few minutes to gather their thoughts as they relaxed.

"So how are you holding up?" She asked. Her face was full of concern for her friend. Danny sighed.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not doing well," he replied honestly.

"Well I wouldn't expect you to be," she said with a soft smile. Danny smiled back but it only lasted a few seconds before his eyes darken.

"I… I miss them," he said. His head was down and his fists were clenched. Valerie placed a hand on his shoulder.

"We all miss them Danny, they... they were good people," she said. Danny shook some and Valerie thought he was going cry, she wanted to cry too but she had to stay strong for Danny.

"They didn't deserve to die they had their whole lives ahead of them. If I had gotten there in time..." He trailed off.

"Danny, there was nothing you could do even if you made it," she said as tried to comfort her friend. Danny looked sadly at Valerie.

"But it's my fault," he said.

"No it's not Danny, if it's anyone's fault it's those ghosts," she growled at that last part. Everyone had seen on the news the fight between Phantom and the unknown ghost. Everyone was surprised at seeing Phantom almost losing to the ghost and thought their hero was going to lose but no one was confirmed of that suspension because the camera that recorded the fight was destroyed. Most of the population thought that Phantom had won and the strange ghost had run off somewhere.

Actually Danny had capture Dan in the thermos and had taken him to Clockwork to seal him away. He was able to sneak out of the hospital only once to give Clockwork the trapped ghost but didn't talk to him because he was angry the first few days of the accident.

Danny had mentally flinched at what Valerie said. She didn't realize that she was blaming his ghost half and evil future self, so he basically got double the blame. Whoopy do for him.

"Val I don't think it's both of the ghosts fault at least not Phantom anyway," he said; he hoped that would get Valarie to calm down; she always got angry when it came to ghosts. Val shook her head at his statement.

"Oh-no, it's mostly Phantom's fault. He's the so called hero of Amity if he really was a hero he wouldn't have failed at saving them."

On the outside Danny was calm and his face was blank as he heard those critical words from Val but on the inside the emotions he was trying to suppress came up. The feeling of guilt and sadness once again consumed him as he started to break down again. Danny wasn't sure how long he would be able to keep a brave face in front of Val so he decided to quickly make up an excuse to go back to his room.

"Hey Val, thanks for visiting me but I'm a little tired," he said; he made his shoulders slump so it would seem like they were tired. Val nodded her head in understanding.

"Alright Danny, I hope you'll get better," she said and pulled Danny in a hug, "If you ever need someone to talk to call me okay?"

Danny returned her hug and said a soft okay.

After a few minutes of comfort Val broke the hug and started to walk off but stopped.

"Danny one more thing I went down to the wreckage at the Nasty Burger and found something that I think is yours." Danny raised an eyebrow and came over to Valerie. She motioned Danny to open his hand and gave him something small. As Danny looked down to see what it was he gasped at what he saw. It was the 'Wes' ring he asked Sam to hold on to.

Danny wanted to cry right there but stopped himself. He took the ring and held it close.

"Thanks Val."

Valerie only nodded and then left Danny so he could deal with his feelings and thought in private.

A week went by as Danny rested in the hospital. The doctors were marveled at Danny's fast recovery, which they thought would at least take four weeks to completely heal. some thought he recovered so fast because he didn't need to deal with the pressure from the G.I.W since his doctor told them it was not a good idea for Danny to deal with more stress from government officials. Though Danny wasn't concerned about his wounds or about the G.I.W; no, he was more concerned with dealing with Vlad. Two days ago Social Service told Danny that Vladimir Masters was going to become his legal guardian and would come and pick him up after he got better.

So today was the day Danny would go to Vlad's home or should he say his new home? Danny was standing by his room's window as he watched the rain go down the windows. He was wearing a new pair of clothes, provided by the hospital, because his old clothes he was wearing during the accident were ripped and stained with blood. He wore a short sleeved dark red shirt that had white buttons; he wore a light blue jeans and black and white tennis shoes. To top it off he was wearing a black and grey jacket with the hood up.

As he stood in front of the window he heard his hospital room's door open. At the door was a man with grey hair tied back. The man wore a black suit and a red bow tie. Danny didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

"Vlad," said Danny as he continued to watch the rain.

"Daniel," replied Vlad.

Neither of them needed to say anything nothing needed to be said between the two. As Danny turned around to face Vlad he made his face blank. Vlad dark blue eyes soften at the young boy; he could see Danny was trying to be calm and brave but his eyes betrayed him. Danny's light blue eyes were filled with pain and he seemed broken, no longer the free spirit that he would fight. Vlad motioned Danny to follow him as he left the hospital and Danny silently fallowed.

As they left the hospital and entered the limo that Vlad came in, they silently made a mutual truce to one another. Vlad knew it would take Danny a long time to trust him, after all he hated his dad and tried to make him his apprentice/son.

Vlad sighed as he thought of all the trouble he caused Danny and his family and how he was going make it up to them or at least to Danny. He would need to show Danny that he was truly sorry which would be harder said than done. He glanced at Danny as they passed the destroyed Nasty Burger.

Danny had his head resting on his hand as looked outside the window. As they passed Nasty Burger he closed his eyes and tried to suppress the feeling of guilt, yet once again was failing miserable. He was not going show weakness in front of Vlad. Even though they were now going to be living in the same house. They rode in silence until they went past Danny's old home, Fenton Works. He blinked in surprise as they passed the building.

"Vlad, why aren't we stopping? I need get my things," he said as he turned his head towards Vlad.

Vlad calmly replied, "I already moved everything to your new room back at the mansion and I locked down the Ghost portal in your parent's basement and locked the lab. I also made it so only you could open it."

Danny glared at Vlad; he did not have the right to gather his personal belongings or even go into his parent's lab! Vlad narrowed his eyes towards Danny.

"Don't give me that look Daniel; do you really want to go through your house while remembering those happy moments you had with your family then be crushed by reality that they're dead?" he snapped at Danny.

Danny's head instantly lowered. Vlad was right, he probably break down if he went back in that house. He wouldn't be able to handle packing up his things while remembering all the memories he had in his old home. Reality would always be there to remind him that they were dead and he couldn't change that.

Vlad sighed. "I'm sorry Daniel for snapping at you but I do not think it would be a good idea to go there till… till you're a little better at least."

Danny's eyes narrowed as he looked out the window again.

"I don't think I will ever be better again."

As Danny entered the mansion he immediately asked Vlad where his room was. Vlad told him it was on the second floor all the way at the end and on the right. Danny didn't even say thanks as he went to his room and slammed the door. His new room was much bigger than his old room and was filled with boxes that contained his stuff. The room's walls were a navy blue with a white trim; the carpet was a light grey and there was a wide window with light blue curtains.

He had a king sized bed that was centered underneath his window. The bed had a grey blanket on it and two large white pillows. Danny went straight over to the bed and collapsed on it. He wasn't tired just depressed with everything going on. It was already hard trying to get through the next day with them gone and it was always the worse in the mornings.

Each morning Danny forgets that his family is dead and then reality kicks in and he remembers that they're gone and that he was the reason that they were dead. Tomorrow though would be one of the worst mornings in his life.

Because tomorrow would be the day he had to accept their deaths. Tomorrow would be the first day of the parades of funerals.
