Danny: Review replies time!

Danny: Yay!

Inuyuke: Here's your chance to find out!

EXILE, Chapter 12

(Dani's P.O.V)

"What's wrong with Danny?" Toby asked anxiously as I bent down to try and wake up my 'cousin'.

"I don't know," I admitted, "I think he got… a shock or something."

James snorted, "Yeah right," he said, "we don't have electricity here. You should know that by now, you've been staying here long enough."

I ignored him and shook Danny's shoulders. He gave no response.

"Maybe it's that thing on his hand," Stephanie pointed to a small green disk on Danny's palm.

"That's what I saw earlier!" Toby exclaimed.

I peeled it off carefully. It was about the size and thickness of a fingernail. There was a small light in the centre, which had started to flash rapidly a blood-red colour.

"That thing doesn't look very friendly," Stephanie observed with a worried look on her face.

I threw it out of the window and want back to Danny. He suddenly began to stir and mumble something inaudible.

"Are you OK Danny?" I asked him as he groggily opened his eyes.

He sat up slowly, leaning back slightly and supporting himself with his elbows, "I…I think so." He squinted, trying to get used to the darkness that had entered the apartment now that it was night.

"You better get onto your bed," Stephanie took Danny by the hand and led him over to the mattress which he had seen earlier, except Toby had just put a sheet on it.

I walked over to a cupboard with a missing door in the corner of the room. Inside was where we put our food, most of which I had collected.

I pulled out a fresh-looking apple and rushed back over to Danny. He looked like he was about to fall asleep again, so I quickly shoved it in his hands.

He nodded in understanding and weakly took a bite.

James grunted and proceeded to unpack a bag of food he had brought in with him.

A few minutes after finishing the apple, Danny had fallen asleep and was snoring softly. The rest of us gathered around the centre of the room.

"Dani," James said, "I want you to tell me what Danny's doing here. And tell me now, because we can't feed five mouths. He has to get his own food, but I don't really think he's in a state to do that right now."

"He'll be better soon," I promised urgently, "he just needs this night to rest, and then Danny will be fine in the morning, trust me."

James narrowed his eyes and hesitated. He was stubborn and had a sharp tongue, but he cared about our safety and would probably protect us with his life.

"Fine. One night." He handed me some bread and a pot of butter. "It's your turn to make dinner. Toby, you and Stephanie need to clean the apartment. I can't stand it this dirty, even though it's usually filthy anyway."

"What are you going to do?" I asked the older boy as I took a butter knife from the cupboard.

"I'm going out again. You'll have dinner without me – I'll find something."

And without saying anything else, he left the apartment.

(Normal P.O.V)

"We're getting close now!" Jack said eagerly as he checked the scanner for the tracking device, which showed up as a small green dot on the screen, "he's within a mile of us!"

"Which way do we go next?" Vlad, who was finding it extremely hard to work on the same side as Jack, asked him.

"Uh… left… I think." The man suddenly became unsure.

"Oh, give me that!" Vlad snatched the tracking device of his old friend and read it himself.

"It's right, you bumbling idiot!" he grabbed Maddie's wrist and strode off down the street, muttering something about brain damage.

Jack just shrugged, completely oblivious to the insult, and followed him hurriedly.

When he reached them, they were staring in confusion at the tracker.

"What's up?" Jack asked, out of breath from running.

"He's just…disappeared off the screen," Maddie was puzzled.

"No," Vlad sighed, "This is my mistake. The tracker runs on ecto-energy, and it has to be attached to him to work. He's obviously found it and taken it off. Because it no longer has a power supply, it shuts down. It does leave the ghost drained of energy, though. Daniel will most likely be very weak."

"I see," Maddie said, "well, we know roughly where he is. And judging by what you just said," she nodded towards Vlad, "he couldn't have gone far in his weakened state."

"Let's continue the way we're going then!" Jack was still just as excited as he led the way.

(James' P.O.V.)

I slung my red backpack over my shoulder and locked the door to my apartment. Dani had made a key for the lock, but I had no idea how.

Plodding down the stairs at a regular pace, I planned out in my mind what I was going to do. It was already extremely late, so I didn't have much time.

I decided that no more food was needed for now, so I focused on my main plan of that night. I walked out through the broken front door of the abandoned lobby and out into the quiet street. The lamp posts gave off no light, after being shattered by vandalism years ago. I could see the faint glow of the rest of the city in the distance, but this part was pretty much abandoned, apart from the gangs who sometimes met here to deal drugs and other things of the sort.

Suddenly I heard an excited yell from around the corner.

"This way, Vladdie! I just know he's this way!"

A large man in a bright orange hazmat suit tore round the side of a house nearby. He wasn't looking where here was going and crashed right into me, knocking me to the floor. I felt my elbow scrape along the road as I fell, so I knew I had cut it.

"What the hell was that for?" I shouted angrily at him as I stood up, putting my backpack on shoulder.

"Sorry kid," the man apologised, "I'm Jack Fenton. Have you see any ghosts around?"

Fenton? Wasn't that Dani's last name?

"Are you Dani's father?" I asked him, surprised at my own change in character.

"Yep, that's me! Danny Fenton's father!"

"Are you looking for her?"

Jack raised an eyebrow. But before he could say anything another man with grey hair and a woman appeared behind him.

"Who are you?" The man who had just arrived asked me.

"James," I said, "James Grant."

"Well, James. Sorry for this little," he looked at Jack, "interruption. We'll be going now."

The man grabbed Jack and he ushered him forward.

"Sorry about that, sweetie," the woman said, noticing my bleeding arm, "I hope my husband didn't hurt you. Are you alright? My name's Maddie."

"I'm fine," I said.

"Do you need anything? It's very late at night for a boy your age to be out." She seemed genuinely concerned.

"I'm OK, I'm just heading home now," I gave her a fake smile and began to walk, wondering who those people were and why that fat man was in such a hurry. And he was Dani's father, which means he could have been looking for her…

I shrugged to myself and followed the long, dusty road until I came to the end. Turning left, I checked to see if anyone was following me.

I decided that it was safe to go on, and I walked for about fifteen minutes until I came to an old hotel. A broken neon sign that said 'open' and 'closed' hung loosely from the wall and the revolving door was stuck.

I winced as the door squeaked when I opened it. Dust clouds surrounded my feet as I took each step inside and the furniture was covered in white sheets, making the place look characteristically haunted.

A lamp in the corner of the room gave a faint glow and I saw a pale-looking man sitting on a sofa next to it, flicking through one of the many books that lined the shelves.

He looked up when he heard me come in and put his book down with a soft thud on the coffee table.

"I was wondering when you would show up," he said, agitated.

"Sorry sir," I apologised, opening my backpack, "I brought the thing you asked for."

"And what would that be?"

"The book." I handed him an old dusty novel which I had found at the back of the library.

He took and began to skim through it, nodding as he saw the information he was looking for.

I stood there in silence, not sure if I should leave.

"Something's bothering you, James," the man said without looking up.

"Well… Dani's cousin came to our apartment today."

"Little Dani Fenton," he sighed, "It's been at least ten years since I've seen her. And now her Danny's appeared? Well, this is going to be very interesting."

Danny: CLIFFY! *GASP* Another mysterious person? 0_o

Me: You'll find out next time XD

Danny: Awwww, do I really have to wait that long?

Me: Yep! Bye guys! Sorry again if this chapter was epic fail. I'm ill, so it's not the best time for concentrating. I TRIED MEH BEST, OKIES? (shout out for Inu XD). Hopefully next time I'll be better and chapter 13 won't be full of fail.

Danny: In Hayden's current state, she cannot 'consume strong carbonated drinks' so the mocktail contest has been put on hold until further notice. Sorry guys! REVIEW!
