_______________

Weeks passed and I never heard anything about Amber or Crystal. I was getting better and they moved me from the hospital part of the prison to the normal part. I had to live as an inmate now. I hated it.

I was filled with rage and anger and I had no clue what to do with it. Once I was fully healed, I started working out. I did pull ups, push ups, sit ups, ab workouts, I did anything I could to get muscles.

I kept to myself and the other inmates were anxious around me. I guess they were threatened. Everyone scattered when I entered a room and it was pretty cool.

One day, I was sitting at the energy table when a little, geeky kid came up to me. I think he looked like my dad a little; small, frail, nervous. "Hi." He smiled.

I slowly turned my head to look him in the eye. "What do you want?" I asked him.

"To be your friend so you don't beat me up." He said.

"Why?"

"Everyone fears you and I think you're pretty cool, so can you be on my side?" He asked, holding out his hand.

I nodded and shook his hand. "What's your name?"

"Henry." He said. "You're Danny. You know Amber."

My eyes widened and I glared at him. "You know Amber?" I asked.

"Well, I know of her. She's like the strongest, most powerful ghost ever!" He said with a ton of enthusiasm.

"How?"

"She used her powers on the anti power shield. She defied the laws of the ghost zone."

"Where is she now?" I asked.

"No one knows. Everyone thinks you are just as strong since you two were friends." He said.

"Okay first off, we aren't friends. She's my girlfriend. And second I had no idea of any of this." I looked away, amazed.

"The last I heard about her was she was trying to find her human daughter. You know she has a daughter right?" He asked me.

I glared at him again and said, "Yeah, she's my daughter too. I wonder if they are okay." I said, my voice trailing off.

"We need to break out." He got excited.

"Look, if anyone is going to break out, it's me." I said and with that, I walked back to my cell. I had to see if I was as strong as her.

I sat on my bed and stared at my fist. I opened and closed my hand, trying to force the green ghost energy to form in my hand, but nothing happened. I worked for days, which turned to weeks, which turned to months.

I stayed locked in my cell, working out and trying to form some ghost energy. Henry visited me everyday with whatever news he heard about Amber, but it was always the same; she went to find Fallon and left me here.

After lights out one night, I was laying in my bed and continued trying to form the energy and finally, a little flicker of green lit up the black cell. It lasted for a split second, but I knew I could do it. I worked longer just to get the same little flicker and eventually, I could hold it for almost 30 seconds. After a few months, I could hold it for 30 minutes. I could just make it appear in my hand and hold it. I had the power to escape.

"Tomorrow, Henry, tomorrow, I'm getting out of here." I said to him while we were sitting at the energy table.

"You won't get me out?" He asked.

"I will. Okay we need a plan though." I said. "I think we should do it right in the morning, so no one is awake yet. As soon as the cells open I will blast a hole in the wall and we will get out. I will wait for you to come to my cell since yours opens before mine does. Got it?" I asked him.

"Yes. I got it." He smirked.

The next morning, the guards unlocked my floor's cells and Henry met me at mine like we discussed. We waited for the guards to get away from us and I conjured up the energy and put a hole in the wall. "You are awesome." Henry chuckled.

"Come on!" I yelled and pulled him out the wall. My cell was on the 3rd floor so we were falling. I tried to fly, but I couldn't. We approached the ground and it took a lot of energy, but I flew. I grabbed Henry and flew upwards. Guards were now shooting at us and I turned us intangible. The bullet went right through us.

I flew into the ground and didn't come back up for hours. By this time we were far enough away from the prison that it was safe to be seen. I landed by an old housing plan and I shook Henry's hand. "Thank you for helping me." I said.

"Thank you for getting me out of there." He smiled.

"Well, I have to go." I said and took off. I soon found out that I was very close to Fallon and Shelly's house. I quickly flew the house and it looked completely different. It looked run down and there was crime scene tape around it and on the front door. The porch was very unkempt and it looked creepy. I slowly made my way inside and I heard a sound coming from upstairs. It sounded like water running.

I made my way to the bathroom and stood in front of the shower. I wondered who was behind the curtain. I wanted to badly just to pull it back. I reached out and as soon as I did, the water stopped and the curtain was pulled back.

It was Amber. She let out a scream when she saw me and I jumped a little too. She covered herself in the shower curtain and then looked at me again. "Danny?" She asked.

"You're alive." I smiled.

She walked through the shower curtain and gave me a huge hug. "I'm not alive Danny, but I know what you mean." She smiled. "I was so worried about you. How are you here?" She asked.

I pulled away, but kept her in my arms. I was a little distracted by the fact that she was naked. "I used my powers and I broke out. I heard that you did too and you inspired me to conjure the energy." I smiled. I was so happy. "God Amber, I'm so glad you're okay." I kissed her and it was agressive.

She broke the kiss and smiled at me. "Danny I love you."

"I love you too." I kissed her again. "Where's Fallon? Is she okay?"

Amber's face fell but she gave me a smile. "She's fine. She's with Shelly and Crystal. They are okay." Her eyes teared up.

"What do you mean? Where are they?" I asked her.

"Danny, she's dead." She managed to get out.

And that is the point where I woke up.
