Day Eighteen

He lay on the cold, unforgiving metal of the examining table, held down by special straps that interfered with his ghost powers. Phasing through them wasn't an option. He couldn't turn invisible much less spark even the smallest of energy balls. He was about as helpless as he would be in his human state.

But that was okay. As soon as he heard her voice, he didn't have the will to try struggling or even the desire to escape. Her sultry smooth voice like velvet washed over him and removed such ideas from his head. He was her toy to play with however she wished. When she spoke, he could feel a fog within his head. He couldn't reach beyond it to find out what hid within that fog, but he suspected what was there. His memories weren't all that great when she spoke to him. It was like her voice confused everything, made him forget. All emotion was wiped clean from him, leaving only calm obedience as he waited for whatever instructions she might give him.

Her violet eyes gazed down at him in an almost clinical manner. They twitched slightly as they stared into his own eyes, like she was searching for some answer that refused to present itself to her despite all attempts to puzzle out the riddle. She spoke again, and he followed the movement of her mouth before the words registered in his head.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

They weren't simply questions. They were demands. And under her sway, it was impossible for him to disobey. Refusal to follow her commands didn't even pass through his mind as his mouth opened to respond.

"Vlad Masters. I want your son."

Something shifted. A clatter of noise disrupting whatever it was that had him enthralled. A moment of clarity as the fog lifted in his head, and he became fully aware of everything. Red eyes widened in horror as he stared into Maddie's terrified eyes. He remembered being too cocky and not paying enough attention during the fight that ended with the Fentons capturing him. He remembered the brief moment of fear as they strapped him down before everything was washed away behind the fog. He became aware of the fact that he just revealed his true persona as well as his motives for returning to Amity Park again and again. Fear crept through him like a poison when he wondered what she would do with the information that he wasn't merely the "Wisconsin Ghost" like they thought from the beginning.

Then all those thoughts and memories were gone, the calm of serenity returning to take place of his horror. He was her puppet again.

Just Will: Yeah, sometimes they threw in these really crazy lines that just make you stop and go "what?!" And you never get an explanation behind it. Well, yesterday's theme was just Jealousy, and I was having trouble with it. Cross dressing was an alternate theme. And I just ended up mashing the two of them together for my response.

maltese: (17) *pets Kwan* Why do I make them all so sad? orz Haha, Vlad is always an option. 8) (16) Well, the ectoplasm bonded to his DNA. I imagine it could be passed down to his child. XD;;;
