Hey everyone I understand I updated a little late but my crappy computer was acting up. So I had to let It cool off for a while. Anyway I am glad to announce in this chapter we will get back to Danny and Embers ancestors. Anyway here is chapter 7 of bonded.

Chapter 7

Ember opened her eyes to see Jazz looking at her with a look to kill. She wondered what was going on until she noticed she was sleeping on Dannys lap. She quickly got up blushing as red as a tomato. "um hi good morning." She said. Jazz simply shrugged. "same to you." She said getting up. Ember got up and walked with Jazz who was getting breakfast ready. "do you need any help?" she asked. Jazz looked at her with a weird look. "umm….i guess just set the table I can to the rest." She said. Once Ember finished Jazz spoke up. "oh and another thing." Ember turned towards Jazz who was pointing the spatula at her. "you try anything to hurt Danny and I will personally cram you into the thermos." She said with venom in her voice.

Ember was about to protest but a voice spoke up. "im not interrupting anything am i?" they both turned to see the familiar face of clockwork. "oh clockwork hi are you here for Danny? I can wake him up if you want." Jazz said already heading in. "no no miss Fenton that wont be necessary." He said smiling. "he should be waking up In a few minutes. Besides id guess you were making your pancakes that Danny told me about." He said smiling. Jazz blushed. "oh cmon theyre like normal pancakes." She said smiling. Ember looked at clockwork with confusion. "I thought you said next week we needed to meet." She said raising an eyebrow. Clockwork looked over at her. "it turns out I was wrong and that it is crucial we continue the story." He said.

It wasn't till around fifteen minutes until Danny woke up. He walked into the kitchen to see Ember Jazz and Clockwork all sitting around the table. After clockwork explained what had happened Danny spoke up. "so youre taking us into the past again?" Danny asked. clockwork nodded. "yes once we have something to eat then we can take off." He then turned to Jazz. "miss fenton I will let you know now you will see Danny around five minutes after we leave if that's fine with you." He said. Jazz nodded that's okay clockwork." She said adding the plate full of hot pancakes onto the table.

Later.

After the meal Danny and Ember did the dishes and they took off. "well be right back Jazz." Danny said as they teleported and found their way back into clockworks lair. He handed them the medallions and at once they were right where they left off. Danny still in pure shock as the boy Max Nightingale looked exactly like him. "Amberlyn go get your father tell him we have a patient." The older woman spoke up. "yes mother the girl who looked like Ember spoke up running into the house. Soon a well built man came out and helped his wife carry the boy in.

The three ghosts made their way into the house(which looked like any other old time house. There was a kettle stove and a pot boiling on the stove. There was a group of beds and one couch which they laid Max on. As soon as they did the man turned to Amberlyn. "quickly run to the well and get me a wet cloth hurry." He said. the girl without no hesitation ran outside and In a few short moments returned with a wet cloth and put it on the boys head.

"father will he be alright?" Amberlyn asked. the man shook his head. "I don't know dear. He looks like he hasn't eaten in days and he looks as though he hasn't had anything to drink either." He said getting up. "the only thing we can do is wait."

Later.

Amberlyn deciced later that night she would watch over the boy. Her father was about to protest until her mother stopped him. "I think that would be fine dear but keep the fire going its supposed to be very cold tonight." Her father then spoke up next. "be sure to keep that cloth on him cold to. His fever might get worse." He said. their daughter agreed and smiled. Danny and Ember watched as Amberlyns parents went to their beds.

"trisha its not like I don't trust that boy. Its just that.." his wife inturupted him. "now Hugh you and I both know that ever since we moved Amberlyn hasn't had any friends we live all the way out into the country. And the nearest city is hundreds of miles away." Hugh looked at his wife. "im still curious on how that boy got here on foot. If you ask me he was near death." He said. later on they were both asleep and Amberlyn was still wide awake.

She couldn't put her finger on it but there was something about the boy that was just interesting. Soon however she began to doze. She was about to drift off to sleep when she heard a sound. She looked only to see the boy shaking in his sleep. She looked to see he was having a nightmare. He kept saying. "no please don't do this they didn't do anything wrong please help." She didn't know what she was doing but she put his hand into hers.

The boy seemed to calm down and in a few short moments he quietly drifted off to another soundless sleep. Amberlyn kept wondering to herself what had happened to make the boy so scared. It was as though it was happening right there in the room. she soon drifted off to sleep.

Clockwork pressed a switch and in an instant time sped up till the next morning. Trisha began making breakfast for the family. Amberlyn did not eat but instead fed her food to Max. Hugh and Trisha looked at eachother and smiled at the sight. It wasn't till a few days later and around dinner that while Amberlyn was in the house cleaning up that she heared a sound they all turned around to see that Max was waking up. Amberlyn spoke up. "mother father come quick hes waking up!" she said yelling out the door. She quickly grabbed a mug of tea and brought it to him. She could tell he was dazed but still handed the mug to him.

"here drink this." She said. the boy still gazed looked at Amberlyn strangely but took the mug anyway. He chugged the whole thing down before Amberlyns parents arrived. "gods be praised hes okay." Trisha looked at Max smiling. Hugh looked at Max with concern in his eyes. "you okay there son?" he asked. Max slowly began to sit up but only to feel light headed. Amberlyn spoke up gently pushing him back down. "youre still weak you need rest." She said. Max looked at her with a stare that looked like he was trying to read her. But with no prevail he obeyed and sat back. "what time is it?" he asked. Amberlyn spoke up. "just a few minutes after sunset." She said. Max wiped the sweat off his brow with the cloth. "so ive been asleep for a few hours then." He said. Hugh put his hand on Maxs shoulder. "im afraid son you've been asleep for nearly 5 days."
