In the Enemy's Fortress
Chapter Seven:
I'm trying to look at Danny's psychological side in this chapter.. How this is all affecting him and how his will is dwindling. I kinda felt bad after writing this chapter. Haha, read on and find out why.
===========================
Danny spent his final day alone thinking. There was not much else he could do. He had refused to finish reading the novel he had started the day before. If the book had a happy ending in any way, it would mock the situation that he was in. A kind of 'haha, I got out of it okay. What are YOU planning on doing?' kind of attitude.
The teen sighed and curled up on his bed. He had been thinking a lot about the gray-haired man since he woke up. He was still ever so confused about the way he felt. When Vlad was away, Danny hated him. He didn't want to see him or be around him.. But when the man came close, it was almost as if he were under his spell. Danny liked the closeness that the man have given him despite the fact he had been raped so violently by him. It was almost as if everything would be okay if Vlad at least held him in his arms afterwards.
It almost hurt to think this way, but Danny had to be honest with his feelings. It wouldn't help to lie to himself anymore. If he couldn't trust himself with his own emotions, then he couldn't trust himself at all, which would make it impossible to trust himself to get out of his current situation.
He shook his head and stood. He needed to stretch out his limbs. It wasn't a good idea to stay in bed all day anyway.. Not that there was anything else to do.
He had scoured the room many times for a way to escape, but everything was sealed off. There were no windows and he couldn't go ghost. On top of that, Vlad kept the door dead bolted from the outside and on the inside when he entered. Even if he could manage to get a hold of the keys, not much good would come from it as Vlad would certainly overpower him and get them back immediately afterwards. And he had learned his lesson against trying to harm the man.
He was just restless. His captivity wouldn't nearly be so bad if it weren't for the fact that he had absolutely nothing to do but to read. There was no television to watch. A movie wouldn't be such a bad idea. Anything other than just silence.
After he stretched a bit, he sat back down on the bed and waited for Vlad to bring him lunch. He looked at the clock and saw that it was afternoon. He would soon bring him lunch.
That was another question that came into Danny's mind. Vlad was always there to give him his food at hours when he should most certainly be at work in Town Hall. How was he managing to lead this double life? Wouldn't people get suspicious when they saw that he was not doing his duties as mayor?
He sighed as he thought about his parents.. Remembering what Vlad had told him. He had complained about his father's bull-headedness a few days ago concerning the anti-ghost war in Amity Park that his parents were the ring leaders of. Apparently, Vlad thought that they were getting to radical with their ideas. They wanted to find a way to tag the ghosts and monitor their whereabouts at all times, to help them better understand the spirits.
Danny thought about his friends as well. Wondering how they were dealing with his death. Without Danny Phantom in their lives, they were able to go back to normal.. He imagined that they had shown his parents where they had begun to chart the ghost zone. They could be valuable assets to his parents, if they decided to let them help.
Sam.. he missed her so much. He never had a chance to tell her how much her loved her before all this mess happened. On the outside, their relationship appeared to be nothing more than a few teens that had a bad case of puppy love. But he loved her so much more than that...
Well, at least he did. Now he had no idea how he felt. With the strange emotions that Vlad was putting him through, he had no idea if he had actually loved her or if he thought he did because of the fact she was the only girl who spent time with him voluntarily.
Danny, once again, shook the thoughts from his mind. He didn't need to be questioning his sexuality and his sexual preferences at the moment. Because it always led back to Vlad. It always made him remember that even though he didn't like it at first, he liked it in the end. Then there were those few times it didn't hurt at all. He would think about how he calmed down and didn't think about the rape when the man held him. He would remember the fact that a few days ago, he had let things go much farther than just holding.
He looked at the book on the desk. He leaned over and picked it up. Although he had no want to finish reading the book, he didn't like the fact it was still in the room. Reading would not suit his fancy. The stories would just mock him with their happy endings. The characters living happily ever after.. Things working out in the end.
Where was his happily ever after? To accept what Vlad was doing to him? To become nothing more then a tool for the man's conquests? He couldn't accepted that.
Danny stood and tossed the book into a waste basket. He almost wanted to tear out each page and flush it down the toilet, but this was a much quicker means to disposing of the book instead of taking the time to do such a childish thing.
He wanted to badly to be free again.. To be away from the man..
That's when he heard Vlad knock. He jumped slightly and sat back down on the bed as the man entered.
"Here you are.. Did you finish 'Kidnapped'?" he asked as he set the tray on the bed next to the teen.
"No."
Vlad looked at him curiously, "Why not?"
Danny decided to be honest. It was the best policy, was it not?
"Because.. It will probably have a happy ending.."
Vlad cocked his head to the right, "Does a happy ending bother you?"
Danny didn't answer immediately. Of course it bothered him at the moment. It bothered him greatly. He didn't want anyone else to live happily ever after if he couldn't. It wasn’t' fair.
The teen sighed and look down at the tray beside him, "What do I have to do to go back home? To have things go back to normal? To forget this ever happened?"
Vlad was taken slightly aback by his questions. He hadn't expected Danny to ask these so calmly.. His attitude created the atmosphere that was true to the situation.. That Daniel Fenton was nothing more than a scared child that wanted to return home. That he could no longer deal with what was happening to him as he had been attempting to do before. He was almost where he wanted him.
"Nothing.. There is nothing you can do. It's not like this is a dream you can awake from. This is very real, Daniel. I made a decision for the both of us when I brought you here.. When I faked your death.. I altered both of our lives forever with this choice. You can never go back to normal. This IS normal for you now.."
Danny felt as if a boulder came down and was crushing him. It felt hard to breathe. He felt strangely desperate at the moment. He longed so badly to be go back home. Vlad had no right to change his life so without his permission! He had no reason to put him in this situation! It wasn't fair! Didn't he have a say in HIS life?!
The black-haired halfa began to fight back the rage and tears that were threatening to tear through his body. He wanted nothing more than to pummel Vlad into the ground. The man needed to be in pain. It wasn't fair that he was the only one suffering.
"However, there is much you can do to sharply brighten your life's outlook if you are unhappy, Daniel."
Without reason, his rage left him. He raised his head up and looked at the man standing before him, "There is?"
Vlad smiled, "Of course.. Submit to me.. Do as I say, obey me and I will bend to your every whim.. Love me, be mine.."
This time Danny could not fight the tears. It hurt to hear this.. He couldn't help but begin to sob.
He did not love the man. It might have felt nice to have sex with him, but he certainly did not love him. How could he stand to obey him and do whatever he wanted? He didn't want Vlad to be happy. There was no way Vlad would be fair about it. Vlad was only in anything for himself.
Before he knew it, he felt the man holding him. He didn't want Vlad to touch him, but he was glad that he was being held all the same. Through his sobs he could hear the man's heartbeat and was calmed slightly. He was reminded that this monster was nothing more than a human..
After he stopped crying, he pulled away from the man, "I can't.. I can't give up my livelihood because you want me too. I can't submit to you. You're so cruel, you watch out for only yourself. There isn't room for my well-being in your life."
Vlad sighed, "Think what you will, but my offer will stand, Daniel. You will give in.. Perhaps not yet, but you will eventually.. You will crack. Tomorrow our deal ends and I will be able to touch you once more. How long will you be able to handle it? How long will it take you to decide that you like the way I touch you? That you want more? That you want to keep me happy?"
Vlad smirked and picked up the breakfast tray. He left the room with a bit of a saunter, locking it behind him.
Danny broke down into tears once more when he heard the locks click. He didn't want to admit it, but Vlad was right.. He would eventually break down.. Look what was happening to him thus far. He was already considering the fact that he might have feelings for the man. He had admitted that he sometimes he liked having the man touch him intimately. It was just a matter of time before he was nothing but putty in the man's hands.
=============
Vlad disposed of the tray as he normally did and returned to his study. He had gotten lucky at the library this morning and stumbled upon just the information that he needed.
The staff was referred to as the 'Arma Captus' and was said to be in control of a king of Scandinavia for many years before he was overthrown. The legend says that the King sought power unbeatable to humans. He went on a long journey to search for said power before he was confronted by a Spirit. The Spirit told him that he would let him have the Staff in exchange for becoming a slave after his death. The king readily agreed. And once the king died, the spirit took control of the staff once more along with taking control of the dead king's immortal soul.
That definitely sounded like the staff he was looking for. It had the same attributes as the one he knew of. It had power like no other.. And in order to take power of the staff and become it's wielder, all he had to do was offer his immortal soul after his death. It sounded simple enough. He was sure he could think of some kind of loophole to get out of it.
All in all, it had been a rather informative day. Things were certainly looking up for Vlad Masters.
To Be Continued...
