Summary: Sam always thought she was a normal girl. But meeting Phantom would tell her otherwise. She wasn't as normal as she thought she was. DxS AU
"Mom, I'm off!" I called out as I ran to the door.
"Samantha, watch out for the traffic" my mother said as she smiled at me. I nodded while running to the door only to stop by my father's picture.
"Bye dad" I said as I kissed the picture of my father who was smiling in the photograph, holding up a bucket of fish.
"Oh crap! Tucker's going to be angry at me" I said as I ran out the door and onto the pavement. As I ran, I thought back to my father. Mother had told me he died in a car accident but I always thought otherwise. Something in me just knew that the death of my father was neither a car accident nor was it natural. But I didn't know what had really killed him. I never asked my mother about it because whenever I had asked in the past, she would either cry or yell at me angrily. Mother was still grieving. I knew better than to remind her of his death now.
"Tucker!" I called out to the boy who was talking to someone. As I ran nearer, I saw that Tucker was talking to a boy with messy black hair and gorgeous blue eyes.
"Sam!" Tucker called out in greeting as he waved at me.
"Who's he?" I asked as I gestured to the boy.
"He's Danny. He was my best friend back in Mexico before I moved here" answered Tucker.
"Danny, Sam. Sam, Danny." said Tucker as he introduced us. I smiled at the boy and shook his hand.
"Hi" we both said.
"Great. Now start running. We're going to be late!" said Tucker as he raced ahead of us.
"No way are you going to be faster than me!" said both Danny and I before we stopped and looked at each other before bursting out into laughs.
"Come on!" I called out as I ran towards Tucker and overtook him, Danny right behind me.
"Hey! That's cheating!" yelled out Tucker as he ran to catch up with us. I turned around and just laughed before racing ahead. I smiled as I felt the wind against my face, whipping up my hair and making it a total mess. I didn't mind at all. I loved the wind. It made me feel relaxed and joy. I knew that my father loved the wind too. He would always say to me,
"Samantha, why do you think there's wind?" I would always ask why.
"Because, God's breath becomes the wind on earth and if you listen carefully, you'll hear his blessings for us" I closed my eyes as the wind blew against my face.
"Sam! Watch out!" I opened my eyes to find myself in the path of an oncoming car. I froze up. Every muscle in my body seemed to freeze. Even though my brain screamed at me to move out of the way, I couldn't. I couldn't move my legs at all. I could only look on as the car came nearer and nearer.
"Sam!" a voice called before I felt a hand and found myself flying back towards the pavement.
"Oh my goodness, are you alright?" asked a woman with blond hair as she stepped out of her car.
"She's fine. Sorry" said Danny. I shook my head and managed to get up.
"What were you thinking?" asked Danny as he looked at me. In the meantime, Tucker had managed to catch up.
"I was thinking about something" I answered vaguely.
"Couldn't you see there was a road? And a car?" asked Danny angrily.
"I'm sorry okay?!" I yelled out before running off towards the school, leaving behind Danny and Tucker. I didn't say anything as Tucker sat down next to me in class.
"You okay Sam?" asked Tucker as he looked at me worriedly. I nodded. I didn't want to tell him I had been thinking about Father, reminiscing about him.
"I should apologize to Danny shouldn't I?" I whispered to Tucker.
"Yeah, he did save your life" I nodded and turned back to the whiteboard. When it was time to switch periods, I walked up to Danny was tapped on his table just as he was about to get up.
"Yeah?" he asked as he looked around nervously. What was he so nervous about?
"I'm sor…" I didn't complete my sentence as suddenly, the whiteboard was blasted. I spun around to come face to face with Skulker, a ghost who hunted rare creatures. Somehow, ever since I moved to Amity Park, he has always been after me. I always managed to escape luckily and was given ghost hunting weapons to protect myself by the authorities since I was a constant target of this self-proclaimed greatest hunter of the Ghost Zone.
"Ghost!" yelled out someone. Yeah, thanks for stating the obvious, I thought as I rolled my eyes. I turned to look at Danny only to see an empty space where he had been. Well, since he was from Mexico I guess the first thing he had thought of was to run. Reaching into my pocket, I took out the Fenton Wrist Ray that would release an ectoblast. It had been designed by Maddie and Jack Fenton who were ghost hunters who lived in Mexico. However it seemed that since the rates of ghosts appearing in Amity was much higher than in Mexico, they had decided to move here.
"Hey Skulker!" I called out. As soon as he turned to face me, I shot. I smiled as my shot hit its mark. That would teach that idiot.
"Why you!" yelled out Skulker as he shot at me. I jumped out of the way and began shooting back. Soon, the classroom walls had charred marks all over from me dodging and shooting and Skulker doing the same as me. Suddenly, a green blast from the side knocked Skulker out of the air.
"Didn't I just send you in the ghost zone last week?" asked an annoyed voice. I turned around to find a boy in a black and white jumpsuit with white hair and green eyes. I could tell he wasn't normal. One, he was floating and two, where his legs were supposed to be, there was only a wispy tail.
"Who are you?" I asked, warily. I had never seen him before and I had already seen a lot of ghosts. Plus, instead of destroying, he was helping to get rid of Skulker. But then what if he wanted to destroy Casper High by himself and didn't want Skulker to get in the way? I suppose I could trust him for now. I could always catch him in the thermos if he were to try anything.
"Um…Just call me Phantom" he said as he countered a blast from Skulker with one of his. I nodded and began shooting at Skulker too.
"I will have your pelt! Both of you!" yelled out Skulker as he was sucked into the thermos.
"Well, that settles it" I said before I turned to Phantom who was preparing to leave.
"Wait!" I called out. I needed to find out whom he was and if I could trust him not to hurt any of the citizens of Amity.
"Yeah?" he asked as he stopped and turned to look at me.
"Where are you from? I've never seen you before" I said as I looked at him. He looked…kind and gentle. Perhaps I could trust him. But it had been instilled into the people of Amity Park that ghosts were dangerous and untrustworthy. I didn't know if I should go along with my own opinion or follow the unwritten law that ghosts were evil (Which had been proven by the ghosts on more then one occasion).
"I'm from another part of the Ghost Zone, bye" he said hurriedly and just took off. I couldn't question him if I had wanted to.
"Darn it" I cursed. I still had many questions I wanted to ask him.
"Sam!" I heard Tucker call out.
"Are you alright?" he asked as he ran to me. He knew that Skulker would always come for me and I would always fight him but he still worried.
"Yeah" I murmured as I looked at the ceiling which Phantom had phased through.
Well, this is kinda just an introduction )
