Corrupted (Ghost X Toast)

Chapter 3

  He gave Toast a wicked smirk, which only made Toast want to throat punch him more.

"How've you been, Johnny?" He spoke, beginning to pace in a line.

  Spooker and Colon were confused as hell, not that there was anything new there.

"What do you want?" Toast snapped, extremely upset at the appearance of this man.

"Who is this?" Colon asked as Spooker's jaw fell.

"This is--"

"Daniel..." Spooker lowly growled as Toast stared at him in confusion.

"Yes..." Toast replied looking over at Colon who just shrugged.

"So I'm gonna ask you once again. What. Do. You. Want?" Toast warned as he felt a hand placed on his shoulder.

"Don't even try it, Johnny. It's pointless," The voice of Johnny Ghost boomed from over Toast's shoulder.

"Ghost!" Spooker yelled as Toast looked back at the younger boy, smiling at his appearance.

  Ghost gave Toast a smile back before averting his attention back to the man that the two had known since grade school. Toast quickly followed in this action, looking back into Daniel's angered frosty eyes.

"Look who it is..." Daniel howled as another crack of thunder was heard from above, making Spooker jump. Ghost pushed both of his arms out to the side before letting them fall and hit his sides.

"It's me. And what do you want from me?" Ghost growled through gritted teeth.

"To warn you," Daniel answered blankly as Ghost arched an eyebrow and looked back at Toast, who just shrugged.

"About what?" Ghost snapped once he jerked his head around, finding himself staring at narrowed frosty eyes.

"This week. Trust me, you're in for one hell of a ride..." Daniel spoke as Toast tilted his head. Another loud boom echoed throughout the sky.

"My life has been a hell of a ride, so knock this shit off and tell me what's happening!" Ghost screamed, causing Toast's heart to jolt into acceleration, scared half to death.

"I'd rather not. I'd rather just let you suffer and figure shit out on your own," Daniel simply answered with a shrug, turning around and walking off as Ghost's dark and narrowed eyes followed him until he was out of sight.

"I hope he gets struck by lightning," Spooker spoke as Toast placed his hand on the tense boy's shoulder, who looked back and offered a smile.

"Me too, Spooker," Ghost replied, beginning to get lost in Toast's sky blue eyes. Toast looked up at the grey sky, feeling a drop of water landing on his nose.

"How did you know Daniel?" Toast finally asked, looking back at Spooker as everyone followed in this action.

"He was there," He softly responded as Ghost knitted his eyebrows together.

"Where?" Ghost responded as the sky began lightly leaking water.

"In my dream. It was him. Not doubt about it," Spooker answered as Ghost looked at Toast, fear present in both men's eyes.

"That can't be good..." Ghost whispered as Toast nodded, agreeing.

  Another crack of thunder roared over the land.

"Can we just go home? I don't want to think about what just happened," Ghost whispered, looking up at his best friend who simply nodded.

"But guys! We have another case today!" Colon yelled as soon as they tried walking away.

"Another case? Where at?" Toast asked as the two stopped and turned back to the other two men.

"At an elementary school," Colon answered as a silence fell over the group.

"A-Alright. Let's go check this out," Ghost spoke, trying to sound brave, but not being too successful. Toast nodded, allowing Ghost to lead the way back to the car. On the way, Toast pulled Ghost's hood up over the boy's head, which resulted in him earning an amazing smile.

"Thanks, Johnny," Ghost spoke as Toast nodded, all of the men continuing to walk back to the car.

  Slight worry in each man's head.
