It has been two weeks since the death of Danny's family. He was sitting on couch, staring at the tv. The only thing on was static. None of the lights were on, and the entire house was ice cold. It's been like this since he gotten accueil from the hospital. He was thin and frail. He hadn't eaten. Nor did he sleep. He was very pale as well. He looked like a living corpse. All of his senses were numb.

Someone knocked on the door. He didn't answer. The knocker opened the door. It turned out to be Vlad Masters. Danny didn't déplacer ou acknowledge him. He continued staring at the static on the tv. Vlad turned his head in Danny's direction. "Aren't toi going to try to force me out, Daniel? ou even argue?" He asked. Danny didn't respond. Vlad raised an eyebrow. "Daniel? Hello? Daniel? Can toi hear me? Daniel!" He shouted at the young halfa. Vlad then turned off the tv in hopes to get Danny to come back to reality. He did.

"Vlad?! What are toi doing here?!" He shouted. Vlad laughed.

"I came to set things straight with your father. To apologize for my récent behavior." He answered. Danny's mood darkened even more. Vlad noticed this and became puzzled. Danny open his mouth to speak.

"If that is the reason you're here, then toi wasted your time. They're not here." He rose his head. Vlad nearly gasped. Danny looked sick, pale and thin, and stained from tears.

"Danny, why are toi so thin?!"

"None of your business. Leave me alone."

"Where are your parents?"

"Cemetery Road, forever. Along with my sister."

"What?" Vlad took a seconde to realize what Danny meant. His eyes widened. 'That would explain why Danny is like this. Now he is even plus like like me. Alone.' Vlad thought. "What happened?"

"Leave me alone, Vlad."

"No, Danny. Not until toi tell me what happened." He looked at Danny's frail body. "And eat. When was the last time toi ate, anyway?"

"I don't know when I last ate, nor do I care. Leave."

"Daniel, stop being so stubborn. toi aren't well!"

"So? Why do toi even care?"

"My boy, enemies ou not, toi are still a child. And Maddie's of all children."

"Whatever. Like I care."

"If toi really thought that, toi wouldn't have asked me why."

"Fu- I mean, leave me alone."

"Were toi about to swear, Daniel?"

"Yeah, so? I corrected myself, didn't I?"

"Yes, toi did. However, back on topic..." Vlad grabs Danny par the arm. "You are going to eat and explain what happened, even if I have to force you."

Danny phased out of Vlad's grip. "I don't have to if I don't want to."

"Yes, yes toi do." Vlad hit Danny with a ray. Although it didn't hurt the young halfa, it temporarily turned off his powers. Vlad grabbed Danny par the arm again. He dragged him into the cuisine and forced him into a chair at the table. Vlad then divisé, split himself into two. One kept an eye on Danny while the other prepared a meal for the boy. Once the meal was made, he handed it to Danny. "Eat." He said. Danny reluctantly ate. He didn't speak. When he finished, his face had increased in color. But his mood was still glum.

"Car crash." He said. "They died in a car crash."
