Noir Verta | Dan and Phil fanfic

Chapter 4: Don't Handle This On Your Own

It was- gone, Dan and Phil couldn't believe it, Dan touched his bare skin with his fingertips and looked at his arm. He shook his head as his eyes got bigger with disbelief, Dan wasn't sure if he should laugh or cry. He looked back up at Phil with a face mixed with different emotions.

"Phil? What's going to happen to me?"

Phil put his laptop down and stood up, he didn't know what to say or do to help. Phil never actually believed, he was only messing with Dan earlier, but now the actual proof was before his very eyes. Phil shook his head and touched Dan's arm, the arm that was black, blue and bitten into no more than 22 hours ago, was completely healed.

Dan snatched his body away, moving his arm so it couldn't be touched. Phil moved his hand away in shock, understanding the position his friend was in.

"Phil?"

Phil stood there, not moving a single muscle in his body.

"Phil?" Dan asked again.

Yet again Phil didn't say or do anything, it was as if he were paralyzed.....with fear.

"PHIL!" Dan yelled shaking his friend.

Phil pushed him away in shear panic and fear, Dan tumbled backwards without losing his footing.

"I'm- sorry- I just don't know Dan, what to do or think."

Dan shook his head as he walked backwards, his fingers tingled. Phil walked up to his best friend and shook his shoulder playfully, he sighed and smiled.

"It's ok, there's no need to get worked up over this, what ever you become, I'll know deep down your still Dan, my best friend."

Dan smiled, "Are you sure you'll be ok?"

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine, it's you I'm worried about."

Dan sighed deeply, wanting ever so much for this to be a dream, " So uhhh when's my first uhhhh 'transformation'?" He said waving a hand in the air.

The word 'transformation' stuck in his throat and he had to cough to get it out.

"Uhh well I think this," Phil stopped for a second when he realized the exact date of the next full moon.

"Yes, go on."

Phil shook his head as he continued slowly, "This Friday."

Dan put his hand on his hip and cocked his head to the side, "What, say that again, I could have sworn you said this Friday was the next full moon."

Phil gulped and nodded, Dan turned around and put a hand through his hair as he started to freak out a bit.

"So what you're implying is that I'm going to transform into a large, ferocious, flesh-eating monster at night when we're supposed to be having fun and doing important Youtube stuff in an area FILLED with over 100,000 people, in a DIFFERENT COUNTRY, surrounded by my FANS AND FRIENDS!"

"Oh YES, there's also the ONE MONTH LONG TOUR we have to do as well, isn't this just BLOODY fantastic!"

"I-I!"

All of a sudden Dan's meltdown came to an immediate halt as he fell to the floor in agonizing pain, he landed on his knees and held his head.

His jaw hurt so bad, it was as if his teeth were shifting one by one.

"Dan...."

Dan looked up, his eyes were a bright yellow color that shined brightly when the sun hit him and from where Phil stood he could see a top and bottom pair of fangs poking out. Dan put his hands down that now sprouted claws and growled loudly at Phil.

"Run..."

Phil immediately did as he was told, he ran out of his room and closed the door, making sure to lock it behind him. He stood back and covered his mouth with his hand when he heard Dan growling and slamming into the door. Phil walked backwards and hit the wall.

He never thought he would say this but......

He was terrified, terrified of his best friend.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////

As soon as all the commotion died down Phil slowly opened his door to find Dan lying on the floor, his hand was on his chest and he was smiling and laughing, Dan had finally lost it.

"Dan?" Phil questioned, "Are you ok?"

Dan looked up at his friend and frowned, his nails had gone back to normal along with his teeth and eyes. He covered his face and began to weep loudly. Phil just stood there in shock, shocked into silence once more. Dan uncovered his face and wiped his tears away. He sat up and put his knees to his chest, his back facing Phil.

"So are we still going to go see Pj and Louise?"

Phil couldn't believe what he was hearing, "Dan you can't be serious, you nearly rip me to shreds, we just find out that we can't go to Playlist live and you're worried about Pj and Louise?"

Dan stood up and turned around to face his friend, his eyes as red as a new bloomed rose.

"Who says- we- can't go- and besides I'm starving," Dan said through broken words.

Phil shook his head, "Dan you've gone completely bonkers."

Dan walked past his friend but not before saying one last thing that stuck with Phil.

"I can't pull you down with me Phil, I can't change your plans all because of what has happened to me, that wouldn't be fair. We've been planning TATINOF and the documentary for a long time, this won't change it, I'll handle this on my own, I'll figure something out, but the show must go on....no matter what."

Phil shook his head, "Dan....you don't have to handle this all on your own."
