A/N:This one is linked with "Ever AndA Day", which if you didnt read that one was based off The Ultimate Enemy. You dont have to read the first one to know whats going on, it's pretty straight foreward. So enjoy.
It happened so fast, there was just nothing I could do. But it's still all my fault. Dead every one of them, gone forever. And me, the cause, I'm alive while they are dead. Life isnt suppose to be fair, but it wasn't their lives that were suppose to end. It was mine.
For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.How could one stupid move end up causing this whole mess? Tell Newton he's wrong. Cheating cant possibly end in everyone dying.I've never felt so lost in my whole life, there's just no one left for me. No one who could ever know me and understand me quite the same way.
What should I be feeling? Confusion, frustration, hate, sorrow, pain? I dont know, I cant seem to feel anything right now. But the events haven't quite sunk in yet.
They did when I packed. Valerie was there to help me. But she wasn't like them, I try to never think of their names.I'm not sure why but I guess it's just the way I can deal with this. Will she forget me once I leave Amity? Will my one remaining friend just forget? I dont want to be forgotten, and I'm sure they didn't either. But I deserve it.
I give to Valerie all I can think will help her remember how simple I was. A small hemp bracelet, nothing special, like me. I asked of her to not forget me and she requested the same. And after a simple friendly hug that seemed to hold so much emotion I climbed into a shining black SUV.
Valerie waved and I watched through the tinted windows of the backseat as I left behind the only home I ever knew. I took one last look at the large Fenton sign that hung over the house. That I presumed would be taken down as soon as a new family finds a home there.
I decided to stay quiet the whole ride. The person driving did not request my speech, so I didn't give it to him. I thought about what I had done, two other families were destroyed because of me. The Mansons and the Foleys. They each only had one child, and I took their kids away. I dont know about Lancer, but someone must be missing him as well.
As for mine, they just wasn't any family left, I was the family. Youngest, Danny, the remaining Fenton.Sole survivor of the freak accident. More like the freak that caused the accident.How will I ever live, knowing I caused everything. Destroyed a restaurant, and killed six people.
Now where am I going? Too Vlad's of course, my sworn enemy. How fun this will be. He finally got what he wanted and all it took was a horrible accident. I bet he'll never let me forget it either. You just wait.
I was wrong? How odd. Vlad is sympathetic in every way possible, he claims he doesnt want to be enemies. How can I trust the man I've hated, the man who countless times tried to tear up my family? I know I cant but I try not to cause trouble for myself or him. He is after all dare I say it, my gaurdian.
---------------------------
Vlad had pancakes made that Sunday morning. Danny had taken up residents with him a week ago. The poor boy was completely beside himself with greif. The man felt so bad for him, even he was torn at the loss of his college friends. Suddenly his differences with Jack didnt matter.
Vlad knocked on Danny's door twenty minutes ago to tell him breakfast was ready. Now where was he? Vlad always tried to keep Danny under a watchful eye, he feared that he might attempt sucide. Vlad wasnt naive, he'd read up on teenage depression.
Vlad hurried up the stairs and knocked on his door. "Daniel? Are you in there?" No reply. "Danny?" He called louder, but there wasnt an answer
Vlad took the liberty of opening the door. He saw the boy in his bed and he walked over. "Daniel?"
Danny groaned and opened his eyes. After seeing who'd disturbed his peace his facial expressions turned to a scowl. "What do you want?" He barked.
"I thought you were coming down for breakfast, I was just worried is all."
"Well I dont really feel well, so I'm not eating." Danny answered and pulled the covers over his head.
"Ok." Vlad sighed and left the boy alone.
The man went to his den and plopped down in a rather large green chair. He fiddled with the remote to his wide screen, but didnt turn it on. He was only trying to be a good person, but Danny didnt seem to care or notice. He knew Danny wasnt sick, he wasnt stupid. But Vlad didnt know how to reach that boy.If only he knew what happened.
Danny stared at the ceiling, he hadnt been woken up by Vlad. He'd never went to sleep, except for what he suspected to have been about ten minutes when he dreamt of a beautiful girl he knew he wouldnt see again. Guilt was always clouding his mind, he felt sick . He was miles from home, living with his arch-enemy, and he was a murderer. What else could he do? Danny just wanted to decay alone in a dark room, he deserved nothing else.
Danny just couldn't lie there anymore, wraiths appeared to dance around his walls. But he was alone. He figured these ghosts would haunt him for the rest of his life, but he decided watching them was not helping. He took a shower, got dressed and went downstairs.
He saw Vlad reading a book that said 'So Your Child's Depressed' it seemed like something Jazz would read. Danny's breath caught in his throat, he just thought of his sister's name, and soon he got a full imagine of the pretty red head. Tears stung in his eyes but he fought them away. 'You dont deserve to mourn.' He scolded himself.
Vlad just noticed the boy and rested his book in his lap. "Hello Danny, are you hungry now?" He asked with a smile.
"No." Danny answered.
"Well ok, but you know if you need anything..." But Danny caught him off.
"Look Vlad, I know you're trying to be nice, and I get it. But this is still really weird. I mean we were enemies only a week ago."
"I understand." Vlad said gently.
"How could you ever understand?" Danny asked painfully. "Aren't you satisfied my father's dead, isn't that what you wanted, and hey look you finally have me. I bet you are just so happy everything's going your way." Danny shouted with mock joy.
"No, Danny I'm not. This isn't what I wanted. You are not mine, you are and always will be the son of Jack and Maddie. Two very good friends that I foolishly shut out, I never wanted this to happen and I realize that I was wrong." Vlad explained.
Danny only stared at the man from behind a lock of raven hair. "Whatever." Danny sighed. "I'm going for a walk."
"Well dont be too long." Vlad said as the boy began to leave.
"Got it." Danny shouted back apathetically.
Danny walked out into the sunshine. A thought of running away came to his mind, but where would he go?
