*Then
Riza's footsteps echoed close by, as she turned the corner.
She found Danny dragging his body towards the door, inch by inch leaving a blood-smeared path behind.
Danny could feel Riza's eerie presence as she stood behind him, admiring her handiwork.
Danny flopped on his back and began blasting ghost rays at Riza.
Get away! Danny yelled. It was clear Danny was undergoing more then just physical lacerations, as this battle continued he was mentally tormented and it was clear Danny had begun to lose hope.
Desperately trying to cling to what little bit of time he still had.
A barrage of ghost rays headed towards Riza.
As she moved almost effortlessly through the array of blasts heading her way.
In a last ditch effort, Danny tried to anticipate where she would end up.
His arms trembled and his vision was blurred, his body in pure anguish.
Danny shot one last ghost ray.
A blood-curdling scream was let out by Riza, who was holding chunks of her head in her palms.
The sound her skull admitted when it was clipped was like smashing pumpkins.
The smell of her flesh burning left an aroma in the air.
Danny couldn't believe he landed a hit on her, especially one that looked detrimental.
(I did it! I actually hit her!) Danny thought.
Overfilled with joy that if he was going out, she was going with him.
Riza's upper right half of her head was gone, leaving a gaping hole in its place.
But then Riza did the unthinkable and brought her hands to her mouth and began to eat her own flesh.
Danny cringed at the sight, what are you? Danny said completely perplexed.
This was something no horror movie had ever prepared him for.
After the last bite, she licked her fingers clean.
Danny couldn't believe what he was witnessing; her body was regenerating at an insane rate.
(Is this the power of a ghoul? ) Danny thought.
In an instant, she was beside Danny, hovering over him, practically drooling.
Tendrils of flesh rapidly laid over one another until they began to resemble her skull's previous shape.
She resampled a more grotesque version on Two-Face from Batman.
Danny wouldn't admit it, but he was actually terrified of this monstrosity that stood over him.
But to his surprised he reached over and grabbed Rize's leg using his cryokinesis freezing her leg solid before rearing back and punching her now icy figure obliterating her leg.
Danny rolled over on his stomach and began to crawl, not knowing what to do, on one hand he had a cannibal behind him and on the other he was faced with blood blossoms surround the building creating a ghost shield.
Rize dug her foot into Danny's back.
Danny let out a yelp, and with that, Riza brought her foot up and slammed it back down.
Causing Danny to involuntarily spew blood from his mouth.
(This was their hero? If someone this weak is who they idolize, this town is mine for the taking.) Riza thought, a sinister smile crossing her face.
Rize withdrew her leg from Danny's back, as Danny weakly turned his body sideways to face her, she reared back and kicked him through the door, his body coming to a stop once it hit the ghost shield.
Danny let out a blood curdling scream on impact. The effects of the blood blossoms taking serious effect now that he laid within close proximity of them.
Rize walked over towards the defeated, half-breed. Rejoicing proudly with her victory.
As she approached him to begin her feast she and Danny both were met with a avalanche of debris soaring down.
There was no time to react.
Danny and Riza were trapped under this monument of concrete, rebar, and steel beams.
Even more so more blood blossoms came pouring down from the roof littering the top of debris.
(She had ever angle covered.) Danny thought to himself, his eyes searching desperately for a way out but between the rebar embedded in his chest and the blood blossoms his body was shutting down.
The adrenaline had left him, and he couldn't do anything aside from just giving in, as the corners of his as began to blacked.
Danny had accepted his end, as the hero of Amity Park.
Danny woke to the sound of the VSM beeping as it kept track of his vitals.
*Beep *Beep *Beep
Where am I? Danny groaned, as he tried to sit up in bed.
The curtain around Danny's bed was pulled back.
As a doctor stepped in to greet Danny, he was a older man and greeted him with a pleasant smile.
Ah, Mr. Fenton, you're finally awake.
My name is Dr. Kanou.
How are you feeling?
Rough, Danny muttered.
Well, that is to be expected after surgery, of course.
We will keep you overnight for observation and discharge you in the morning.
I'll have the nurse bring you some food. Try to get some rest, Mr. Fenton.
*Now
Danny woke up in a cold sweat. Breathing heavily, as if he had just run a marathon.
Danny got up and walked to the bathroom.
He began to flush his face with cold water, turned the faucet off, and grabbed a towel to dry his face.
Danny brought his head up and stared at the mirror.
Trying to force his eyes to change, he strained.
Danny closed his eyes and concentrated.
When he opened them, they were a glowing green.
A smile came across his face, maybe things are getting back to normal, said Danny.
Just as the words left Danny's mouth, the white of his left eye began to darken.
Danny blinked, the white of his left was engulfed now displaying a deep ebony color, leaving nothing but a incandescent green iris.
Full of emotion, Danny punched the mirror, shattering it.
Danny needed air, so he got dressed and left his home.
He wound up at the park and sat on the bench. It was 4am, and the park was empty, with a light fog layering the park.
The orange-tinted streetlights lit up sections of the park.
The sounds of bugs buzzing around the lights, followed by the low hum of the lights.
Helped Danny get lost; nothing on his mind except...hunger.
Danny hunched over, holding his stomach. It growled as if displeased by his pure coffee diet.
Are you alright? An older homeless man asked Danny. He placed his hand on Danny's shoulder, trying to comfort him.
(This guy is too close; if I don't get away, I won't be able to protect him.) Danny thought.
I'm fine, thanks. As Danny stood to leave, he said, "I'm fine, thanks."
Danny sat up in his bed, unsure if what he was remembering was a fleeting nightmare or if he had done something he was going to regret.
Danny ignored him and started to walk away. When he placed his arm on Danny again.
Danny sat up in his bed, unsure if what he was remembering was a fleeting nightmare or if he had done something he was going to he turned to get out of bed, he gave himself a once over, feeling at ease he saw no blood on himself.
Danny continued to the bathroom to grab his laundry basket and start his day.
when he reached down to grab the clothes, he noticed dried blood.
The man screamed in agony; Danny knew what he did was wrong, but it was as if he had taken a backseat in his body.
The man begged Danny to let him go, but Danny shot the man a cold look, displaying zero amount of emotion, just completely taken over by his ghoulish ways.
He tried to turn and run, his efforts were useless. It was clear he would meet his demise tonight.
Danny held his arm tightly and placed his leg on the man's side and effortlessly pulled the arm off his body.
Danny sat up in his bed, unsure if what he was remembering was a fleeting nightmare or if he had done something he was going to he turned to get out of bed, he gave himself a once over, feeling at ease he saw no blood on himself.

(What have I done?) Danny thought.
