Title: Monster

~~~

He never would have expected this. When his older-self had done nothing when he sat down, he got even more nervous than before. He would have expected some reaction, not just being stared at in growing horror. The ghost… man looked horrible. Although… Danny wondered if he himself looked just as bad, with his being upset about telling his parents. Remembering just why he was in the forest in the first place made Danny sigh. Why… why did this have to happen?

~

Dan was confused. Shouldn’t the boy be attacking him right about now? Not sitting across from him and looking all sad. Dan didn’t understand why Danny was sad, he shouldn’t be sad. Now he can defeat Dan again and be the hero and, and, and.

Dan refused to cry with his younger self so close. He refused.

~

Wait… was he… was he crying? Why was he crying? How can he even be crying? It was his evil future self, for Pete’s sake! This was the ghost that tried to kill his friends and family! “Why the fuck are you afraid of me?” Whoops, did he say that out loud? Might as well continue then… “I’m the one who should be afraid of you! And yet there you are cowering away from me like I’m gonna bite you! All you did last time we met was try to ruin my life! Why the fuck are you back now?! It’s already well on it’s way there even without your help!! I don’t need you here right now!! WHY DON’T YOU JUST GO AWAY?!”

…maybe there were still some effects of the invention running around inside of him?

~

Tears flowed down his face freely now. Dan didn’t want to be here. It was all Clockwork’s fault! He sh-should stop meddling in his life already! It wasn’t helping them any bit! It sounded like Danny really didn’t want him here. Maybe he should quit the silent act and say something…

The no-longer-a-boy raised his hand in his anger, and Dan flinched backwards, covering his face with his hands. “No. No please don’t-” He whispered hoarsely.

~

Danny stopped suddenly. He… he was going to hit him. And surely the ghost deserved it, right? But. But he wasn’t doing anything. He was just so afraid and cowering and. Danny lowered his hand and stepped back. He was going to hurt someone that would probably not fight back. What kind of monster was he?

The kind like the one in front of him.
