Chapter 2

The five went to the shed out back with Danny's form floating behind them. The silence almost haunting as Jack opened the door before leading them to a long yellowing freezer, it's hum now filling the air. "His body's in there." Jack admitted.

"Can you open it?" Danny asked, floating above the freezer.

Jack looked up at his son before sighing. He pulled out a ring of keys from his pocket and unlocked the freezer before pulling the lid up. Inside laid a black body bag. He leaned down and unzipped enough of the bag to see Danny's head, white hairs mixed with black as his eyes held both green and blue. A permanent look of pain frozen into his features.

Danny lowered down, surprised and awed at seeing himself like that. He turned to the living and asked, "How did I die?"

"Please forgive us, Danny." Jack said, tears blurring his vision.

"And I didn't tell you?" Danny asked, surprised.

"You tried to, but…" Maddie's voice fell away as sobbing took over.

"The video's on my laptop. They posted it on a ghost website." Tucker admitted.

"I wanna see it." Danny said.

-.-.-.-

"You three sure you wanna watch it?" Danny asked as they all gathered around the laptop.

"I wanna know what they did." Sam said.

Danny looked at Jazz and Tucker before looking at the screen, seeing it paused with him tied to the table and his mom standing next to him. Tucker hit the space bar, letting the video continue.

"Ghosts level four and under don't have cloths, but since this one is a level seven, we'll have to undress it." Maddie admitted.

A cut was made in the video, showing they had removed his cloths and changed where the camera was so all it showed of Danny was his stomach and up.

"Height: 160 centimeters, weight: 56.2 kilograms. Looks to be about fifteen or sixteen if human." Jack read from his clipboard.

"This is embarrassing." Danny said, eyeing his father.

The man looked down at Danny but didn't say anything to him and instead commented, "Took an ecto-plasm sample and now have our computers checking it."

"Ok, you've had your fun, now let me go." Danny tired, pulling against the restraints.

"You won't feel anything, ghost." Maddie informed, walking over with a scalpel in her hand. "Ghosts don't have a nerves system."

"I do!" Danny tried, seeing the blade. "I'm not all ghost!"

"Sure." Maddie said, nodding her head but not believing it. She leaned over him and placed the scalpel at his shoulder, bearing down enough to slice through skin and mussel.

Danny's scream ripped through the speakers, getting Jazz to turn away from the screen.

Danny watched as Maddie cut a Y into his chest, almost feeling the pain again as he held his chest.

Maddie pulled the skin apart, surprised at what she saw. "Jack, come here. You need to see this.

Jack came from behind the camera to look down inside of Danny, surprised. "Ribs, lungs, kidneys, intestines. It's all where it should be on a human." Jack realized.

"Except for that." Maddie pointed to where Danny's heart should be and saw a glowing green orb. "It has a ghost core."

A white ring tried to be created around Danny's waist only for it to disperse into nothing. "Mom. Dad." Danny's voice painfully whispered. "Please. Put me together."

"You won't get any sympathy from us, ghost." Maddie said, eyeing his insides.

"Please. Stop watching it." Maddie's voice said from the door. The four turned to see her, dried tears down her cheeks.

Danny looked down at Tucker and said, "Pause it."

Tucker did as ordered before watching Danny float over to his mother, giving her the best he could of a hug. Seeing his dad behind her, he held his arm out to him, hoping to give them both a hug.

"How dare you kill Daniel!" Vlad's voice called as the man flew through the house. He appeared in the hallway and found the three hugging. He quickly ripped Danny away and looked at Jack and Maddie. "I knew you were stupid, Jack, but you Maddie?"

"Vlad?" Maddie asked, surprised to see the man floating.

"Vlad, keep them out of trouble." Danny said, floating up to be in between the man and his parents. "I know we've had our problems but for once I'll let bye gones be bye gones." Danny turned to his parents and said, "I forgive you."

Before their eyes, even with the help of the Fenton Goggles, Danny faded away.

15 years later

"There you are Daniel." Sam said as she walked into the kitchen, seeing her son drawing on the table.

"Why don't you call me Danny anymore?" Daniel asked, picking up a gray crayon.

Sam stopped, surprised. "I've never called you that."

"Ya you did. Back when I had a different Mommy and Daddy." Daniel said, finishing his picture. He pointed at it and said, "See."

Sam looked at the picture, surprised at what she saw. "Who are these?"

"My old Mommy and Daddy and sister." Daniel explained. "There's me next to you and Tucker."

Sam looked at her son, getting him to look at her, amethyst eyes to blue. "Danny?"
