I’m not sure if this had a very good ending. But in this one Danny has a little bit of an episode, and Vlad starts to have not so innocent thoughts. Please comment, and enjoy!
Danny and Vlad sat in the foyer, quietly drinking their tea on two chairs. The fire crackled and danced merrily in the fireplace, sparks flying out at the floor every so often. The lights were dimly lit, casting shadows around the room. There was a dark blue sofa nearby, unoccupied, and the wooden floor glimmered in the firelight. An expensive and extravagant rug supported a wooden coffee table where a few newspapers sat. The newspapers had headlines such as FIERY EXPLOSION DESTROYS LIFE OF AMITY PARK TEENAGER, and DANNY FENTON, SOLE SURVIVOR OF FATAL EXPLOSION. Danny looked away furiously. He was ashamed that he did not die. Ashamed that his friends and family lost their lives because of a stupid mistake he’d made.
“Daniel, it’s not your fault.” Vlad said suddenly. Danny looked up, brushing his hair from his eyes. Vlad’s silvery gray hair glimmered in the firelight, casting shadows across his strangely youthful face.
“Please, just call me Danny.” Danny said quietly.
“Alright. But you didn’t answer my first statement.”
“Well, what if I don’t want to?!” Danny burst out. “Yes, it is my fault that they’re dead! I’d rather be dead too then to be the only one alive! Everyone in Amity Park is blaming me for their deaths, THAT’S WHY I HAD TO LEAVE! Nobody cares for a stupid little ghost kid who doesn’t even know what he himself is for sure. What am I? Half a ghost? Half a human? Am I even human anymore? Or am I half a murderer?” Danny finished, burning tears filling his eyes. He looked angrily into his cup half-filled with tea. Then he closed his eyes, and threw it on the ground, smashing it into a million shattered pieces.
Vlad remained motionless, his stare blank and face unreadable. Danny turned away and wiped the tears from his eyes, then buried his face in his knees. Danny remained that way for a while, until he heard a creek from Vlad’s chair and muffled footsteps. Danny kept his head down until he felt two strong arms lifting him out of the chair.
“What…?” Danny began to ask, confused by this strange gesture, but Vlad shushed him. He lifted Danny up and sat back down himself, letting Danny lay in his lap. Danny’s head leaned against Vlad’s chest. He heard the gentle beating of Vlad’s heart, and felt his own heart twinge with misery. None of his family’s or friend’s hearts would ever beat like that again. Danny drew his legs up into Vlad’s chest and began to cry into Vlad’s maroon robe. Vlad pulled Danny’s small body closer to him, rubbing Danny’s back in a circular motion, trying to calm him.
Danny cried for some time like that in Vlad’s arms. He didn’t remember how long he stayed there. He didn’t really care. All he cared about was that there was someone here trying to comfort him and care for him, and that was all that really mattered.

Vlad looked down after at least an hour. Danny was sound asleep in his arms, his breathing light and calm. Vlad sighed, brushing the dark hair from Danny’s face aside. Danny was so angelic, so peaceful. So unlike his idiotic father, Jack. His ebony hair fell into his ivory colored face, framing it like a picture. His small body which had gotten so much thinner since the last time Vlad had seen him rose up and down gently. His long thin legs were enveloped by the baggy material he called jeans. Huh. More like scrap. Vlad thought. His shoes looked several sizes too big for his body, but it added more as a positive than a negative. His t-shirt looked bigger than usual. Danny was definitely emaciated. Vlad looked closer at the boy’s face. There were dark circles forming under his eyes, leaving purple marks and bags underneath. Vlad knew that if they fluttered open, they would be a dark blue, the color of the sky at night when the moon and stars were out. That’s what he was. He was the moon and Vlad was the stars. Flying around the earth in an eternal dance, never leaving each other’s side. Oh, how I long…Vlad thought. Oh how I long to leave you begging for more. To leave you sated, pleading for more. No, groveling on your knees. To take away your sweet innocence in an almost degrading manner, but in a loving manner. To take you away from your pain. To let you find me. Your true lover, Daniel. Vlad thought.
Vlad quietly ruffled Danny’s dark messy locks. Sighing, Vlad turned into ghost form, into Plasmius. He took Danny’s body into his hands (He seems so fragile, I almost feel as if I might break him!) and turned him transparent.
Vlad floated quickly to an empty room, still holding Danny. Vlad flew over to Danny’s bed, laying him down gently. He took off Danny’s shoes, and covered him with the dark red blankets. Danny instantly curled up into a ball under the blankets, his mouth slightly open. He was so angelic, so peaceful in his sleep. Not the bitter, angry teenager he was in his waking hours. Vlad looked longingly at the innocent boy. Making absolutely sure that Danny was asleep, he leaned down and kissed the boy’s lips softly. Danny groaned, but remained asleep. Finished, Vlad floated silently out of the room, a ghost of a smile on his lips. Daniel Fenton will become mine. He thought. In his own good time.
