"What was that?"

"That, my dear boy, was me finally getting rid of all my pest."

"What are you talking about?"

"Your family and friends, Daniel. They're finally gone."

"What! No, no, no, no, no." Daniel is about to fly towards the explosion, but I caught him before he did.

"Now, now dear child. Even if you went, there's nothing you can do about it." He turns around with tears rolling down his face.

"I-it's all your fault... I'LL KILL YO-AHHHHH." I shock him until he falls asleep.

"Shhh, don't worry, your dad will take care of everything."

I put on the nicest tuck I owned. I have to look nice for one of the best days of my life, don't I? Today is the day of the Fenton family funeral, also the funeral of Daniel's two friends. Not only that, but it's the day I get full custody of Daniel and get to bring him home. After getting my best lawyers, getting custody of Daniel wasn't all that difficult. His other family members did put up a fight, I must admit, but after revealing that I was Daniel's real father and getting blood tested to prove it, the odds were in my favour. I already had all of Daniel's things moved to my home, but the lawyers informed me that I had to wait until after the funeral to truly have Daniel with me. My plan is almost finished, well, time to go attend the funeral.

I find myself sitting next to a very depressed looking Daniel, in a room full of his relatives. I decided to have an open casket funeral, I love seeing Jack and Madeline laying there. There's also another plus to having this type of funeral, once Daniel took a glance at his 'family,' he burst into tears and began clinging onto me. I had to force myself not to smirk, this is absolutely a very good day. Their daughter Jasmine, I felt nothing towards her whatsoever, so she really doesn't make me feel anything, but looking at Maddie fills me with the best joy I've had in years. I told you Madeline that I'd make you regret it. And here you are, pathetically about to be put 10 feet into the ground, while I have our son hugging and sobbing onto my chest. I can't wait to bring Daniel home!

Finally all those boring funerals are over and I walk Daniel into my-our house.

"Did you like your room, son?" He flinches a little. It was the next morning after breakfast.

"C-could you not call me that...he used to call me that." By he, I suppose he means the fat oaf. We walk into into the living room and take a seat on the sofa.

"Of course, I'm sorry Daniel. I'm here for you if you ever need to talk. Would you like some coffee.?" He stays silent for a moment and just nods. His eyes look so lifeless. I suppose losing someone he cares about does that. I only shrug and order a maid to make us coffee.

"Daniel, I'll be here with you. This whole accident must be very hard for you."

"IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT." He had a small outburst, I'm sure he's going to be having these quite often. The maid come in and hands us our coffee.

"Oh? What was it then, dear boy?"

"It was a ghost!"

"Daniel, ghost don't exist."

"Yes they do! You have to believe me, Vlad. It was that ghost!" His eyes began tearing up. "It was him. He's been following me ever since that college reunion. He ruined my life!" I believe I actually made it turn for the better, but oh well.

"Daniel, you are trying to cope with your suffering, so it's only natural that you'd start making these things up." He begins to realize that he can't change my mind and now thinks I won't believe him, but I know he's right.

A week later

"Would you like to play video games?"

"No..." Suddenly he begins to burst into tears. Quickly I'm at his side hugging him. He begins clinging onto my neck and sobbing into my shoulder.

"Shh, it's okay Daniel." I pet his hair. "I'm here with you and I'm not going anywhere." I cooed.

"I-I just want this pain to go away Vlad. It hurts so much. I don't know what to do any more."

"Don't worry Daniel, I'll take care of you I promise." We hold each other for a very long time and I enjoy every moment.

"Hey...dad?" I smile, well this is some progress.

"Yes, son?"

"How did you end up being my dad and not..."

"Jack? Well, Daniel that is a very long story." I began telling him the tale, well a much nicer version, and he sat there listening very intently.

2 months later

He's been locked in his room and it's starting to worry me. He doesn't eat much and I think it's about time I finish my plan.

Knock knock knock.

"Daniel?"

No response.

I just walk in any ways. I hear soft crying.

"Daniel?" I say somewhat concerned. I go towards the bed and sit down next to him. "Daniel?" I try again.

"Please, just go away...please." I hear from under the covers.

"Daniel, what if I had a way to stop your pain, would you let me do it?" Well that got his attention, he uncovers his tear ridden face and looks up at me.

"Are you serious?" I only smile at him and nod. Suddenly, he jumps up and begins hugging me.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Hugging has been something we've been doing a lot lately and I have to admit, it's the best thing in the world.

"Tomorrow all right, little badger?"

"Okay." I get up and as I'm about to walk away, a small hand grabs my wrist. "Can you umm...stay with me?"

"Until you fall asleep?" I raise an amused eyebrow at him.

"N-no. Like...sleep here with me." This sounded too good to be true.

"Are you sure?"

"Y-yeah, I don't want to be alone."

"And you never will be again, because I'm here." I get into my pajamas, go back to Daniels room and climb into the bed. I hold my little badger in his sleep. It appears that he's having a bad dream.

"Shh. It's okay, daddy's here and he's never letting you go again."

The next day

"Do I really need to be strapped onto this?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because the machine won't work unless you are." That was a complete lie, it was only for Daniel not to get violent, since this machine only works with me in my ghost form after all. Daniel only huffs in frustration.

"Okay, get it over with."

"Patience, dear boy." I get out a needle.

"Whoa whoa whoa, what is that?"

"Oh this? Well, I need you to be unconscious or else it will be very painful for you."

"Oh..." I grab his arm and poke the needle through his skin. He makes a pained expression.

"All right, you'll be out like a light soon."

"Okay...shouldn't you turn the machine on?"

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, this machine can only be turned on by ghost energy." Daniels eyes grow wide

"But I thought you didn't believe in ghost?"

"Oh, I lied, I do because..." I turn into Plasmius. "Because I'm half ghost." Saying Daniel was angry to see me was an understatement, he was furious.

"It-it-it was you! YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!" He began fighting against the restraints.

"Now Daniel, no need to get violent."

"VIOLENT DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO TO YOU. IT'S YOUR FAULT. YOU RUINED MY LIFE. YOU AREN'T MY FATHER, YOU'RE A MURDERER WHO KILLED HIM. WHO TOOK MY FAMILY AWAY." I let him have his little outburst. After I'm done, he won't even remember the buffoon. The shot began to finally work.

"It's your fault! I'll kill you! It's your fault. It's your fau-." There, now he was unconscious. I got to work. I'm taking all his memories with his mother and Jack. It'll be like he never had a sibling or those two annoying friends of his. I'll give him artificial memories of the two of us, I'll be his entire life.

After a couple hours, I was done and Daniel began to wake up.

"Daniel?"

"..."

"Son?" Did it work?

"..."

"Are you all right?" He looks up at me and just stares.

"Little badger?'

"...Dad? What happened, where am I?"

A devious smile began to appear on my face. It worked!

"Dad?"

"Yes, son?"

"What happened?"

"You were sick remember? I cured you?"

"You did?"

"Yes, now that it's done, how about some video games?" Daniel began to smile brightly, he hasn't done that since before his family was obliterated.

"Sounds awesome dad!"

I release Daniel and we began to walk to the game room. It took nearly 14 years, but he's now at my side. You lose Madeline because what's mine is mine, no matter what and nothing is going to separate us ever again.
