Breaking the Barriers

Chapter 1: Matter of Time

I'm Sam Manson.

Danny's my rock, Danny knew as more than the goth chic who hated eating meat more than the morning sun he knew me as the girl who wanted change the world and make Amity Park a better place. Danny knew I would rather fight ghosts than run thought a field of wild flowers. Danny was more than meets the eye he may have looked like the average kid but only we knew the Ghost fighting super hero who's heart was as big the ecto shield he could make and as strong willed and would risk his life for the ones he cared about the most.

He was the barrier, my barrier. The line, between life and death, the line between good, and evil. Everyday was a battle for him. For us too. But it really was for him.

"Danny were going to be late." I screamed as walked into the Fenton. My other parents then ones that were actually there from me, not off in Paris or Jamaica, and supported me.

"Does it matter? I have ghost powers." Danny said as he lazily walked down the stairs.

"Do you want me to kick you?" I said as I cocked my foot. "Plus we still need to pick up Tucker."

"Do we have to he has a car, a license can't he take himself?" Danny whined as I lightly kicky him. "Ow, you don't have to be so aggressive."

"Ya, 'cuz I'm the one ripping ghost apart, and slamming locker doors?" I joked.

"Don't joke about that, I do what I gotta do to keep this town safe." Danny said trying to act serious.

"Ya, okay, Mr. Moch..." I said before I was hit before It all went black for a few dim seconds. We had been flying over to Tuckers house, so we had landed on a building.

"Sam are you okay?" He asked as I rubbed my head.

"Fine. What was that?" I asked before it stuck again.

"It's Dan, he's back." He said changing into Phantom, my Phantom.

"Be careful." I said as I picked myself up from the unforgiving roof.

"It'll be fine, I'll be back." Danny said flying into the air. Please, please return to me, please survive. I though silently to myself as I called Tucker.

"What's the skizzle fizzle?" Tucker asked.

"Drop your antics for 5 minutes, and get your ass on over to the coffee shop, stat." I screamed into to the phone as the line went dead. The only two things running though my mind, were Danny, and Tucker; also if Tucker had hung up or someone had hung up for him.

I made my way down off of the roof. Time passed and I knew I was in trouble for being late; Lancer decided that me and Tucker really didn't deserve the ghost fighting break, apparently having a hangover and puking in the hallway isn't a valid excuse. That wasn't the point. I had to get to school. You know that means. I called the school.

"Ya, Sam Manson will be late. The vehicle broke down." I said coping my mom's voice perfectly.

"Okay Mrs. Manson I will alert Mr. Lancer." Audrey said. I hung up the phone than ran like the wind. It really didn't matter that I had gym next period, I was good at running.

I arrived at school with 15 minutes left in the class.

"So nice of you to join us today." Lancer said as he held out his hand.

"Ya, I don't have a slip, Audrey said she called you." I said playing my odds of getting detention.

"Ms. Manson you know in the 3 going on 4 years I've had you that I need the slip. And were are Mr. Fenton, and Mr. Foley?" he asked dismay starting to make its way across his face.

"Funny story actually." I said as I moved back and forth on my feet.

"Just save yourself the pain of lying and tell me the truth." Lancer said as he took me out to the hall way.

It was funny though over the years Lancer actually figured out Danny's Secret, keeping it to himself.

"Okay, well Danny and I were on our way to school, an extremely powerful ghost attacked, and I called Tucker so we could help, I told Tucker to met me on top of the coffee shop I fell on, after I got shot at twice he didn't come, and I all ready knew I was in really deep shit," I said huffing and puffing toward the end, "and I think I'm having a panic attack." I said as I sunk to the ground as I threw up keeping it in my mouth. I spit it in the garbage and popped a piece of gum in my mouth.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Lancer said as he started to pat my back.

"I'm fine." I said starting to walk around. Swatting his hands away.

"Are you sure?" He said stopping me in my tracks.

"No. My best friend is, I'm pretty sure deady, along with my boyfriend, he's probably dead, too." I said coming to reality with that had happened.

"I'm sure none of that is true." Lancer said as I sank to the ground as I slowly started so sob.

I deiced that it was time to stop feeling sorry for my self and go kick some butt, so tootalou Lancer.

"Were are you going?" He asked puzzled.

"Search and Rescue mission." I said as I ran out the door.

I ran till I reached the Fenton's, a mile away from the school. I rocketed down the stairs to the Specter Speeder, and got the Boooo-merang. As the stupidly named tracking device flew through the air, I raced after it. It went to the out skirts of town. Then it took a dive next to the abandoned warehouse. I wasn't really worried about the damage I was causing just about how fast I could break through the top.

"Sam what are you doing here?" Danny said his beaten up body lay in the corner with Dan at the other far end.

"I came here to help you." I said as I ram over to him.

In the process of running over to him. Dan kinda over shadowed my body from a distance and threw me against the wall.

"Ah, Sam, how I used to miss your warm embrace beckoning me. Why was I so foolish?" Dan said as he walked over.

"So, Daniel, or Danny, whatever it doesn't matter; since I exist in an alternate time line, since the observant are oh so positive your going to be a goody since you saved the world; it means two things. 1) If I destroy you I will definitely still exist, and 2) If I kill Samantha I will also surely exist." Dan said taking a knife out of a box.

As it turns out we are in an old military warehouse. With boxes of guns and knifes and uniforms.

"I am the Box Ghost, Fear me as you are crushed with the Returns of Military Base 345 from Tampa Bay, Florida." The box ghost said as he kicked a pile of boxes, which you know of course fell on me. "Beware." he said a last time as he left leaving all of us rolling our eyes.

"So Dan Dan, what your choice." he said slamming Danny next to me the same. Only his mouth wasn't covered. "You have no where to run. No where to hide."

"You can't..MAKE ME. CHOOSE." Danny screamed using his ghostly wail which popped my ear drums 3 time over.

"Now, why would you do that, no you are nothing but, a powerless human." Dan said as Danny reverted into Fenton.

So a little recap.

-Danny made us late.

-Dan attacks.

-Fall on building.

-Call Tucker.

-Tucker doesn't show.

-Go to school.

-Have a melt down.

-Find Danny.

-Pinned into me or Danny die Situation.

Doesn't this make you want to do scenarios like this to see what you would do if you where in mine and Danny's place. And when all else fail. Tucker decides to call me.

"Do you mind?" Dan asked as he took the phone out of my pocket.

"Hey, Sam what coffee shop, I triangulated your phone, and it says your at the abandoned military shipping warehouse thing on the out skirts of town." He said surprised. Only for Dan to kill my phone.

I was going to kill Tuck for triangulating my phone, but I had much bigger problems.

"Okay, times up, it's you or her." he said as he pointed the knife at my mid-drift.

The only think I could really do was scream, because in the end only one of us was going to come our of his alive.

Danny didn't say a word though, which made me want to cry. Was he going to let me die. So I decided to scream louder. Which I think only made Dan madder. So he decided to leave a nice little slit down the side of my stomach. Which of course obviously didn't shut me up, but made me scream louder.

"Choose now. Or the girl is finished." Dan said as a started to choke back my sobs. As Danny started to speak.

"Me. Kill me." He said lowering his head.

"Wow, I almost though I was going to have to kill your girlfriend." he said as he started to stab him. I didn't look, I couldn't look.

"Nice doing business with you." He said disappearing along with the goop that was keeping Danny and I restrained.

I ran over to the boxes that contained uniforms, and started to rip them into a cloth. I got a small piece for the minor cut; but I wanted to stop the bleeding. I tore a total of 6 uniform shirts, and bandaged him up. Well enough until I could find him some medical attention.

"No, no, no.." I muttered as Danny started to grow pail.

"Sam, I didn't mean to do it. I didn't want to lose you." He said faintly as his eyes closed. I checked his pulse, and there wasn't one.

I couldn't speak back. So Tucker decided to speak for me as he busted through the door.

"We have to get him to Clockwork stat." Tucker said as we took Danny to the Specter Speeder.

We flew to Clockwork's lair, but not nearly fast enough.

"You have to save him." I pleaded sinking to my knees.

"Please Clockwork we have no where else to turn." Tucker added.

"I'm sorry I can't help you it was Danny's time to pass." Clockwork said showing us to the door.

"He was your responsibility, him and Dan, now Dan is gone, Danny is dead, he was in human from when he died cause is ghost half was totally shorted out so is now dead forever. And with out you there is no way of getting him back." I pleaded.

"I wasn't there to stop it, I'm sorry. Daniel is never coming back." He said as he walked us to the speeder.

I didn't know what came over me, but now my life had took a turn for the worst.

There you have it...

Don't Forget to Review.
