Watching and Waiting
Hello. My name is Abby. I love Danny Phantom. And I love reading fanfics. So I decided to make one. Here is my first attempt at making a Danny Phantom fanfic. Wish me luck.
Summary: Sam has been acting unusual. She has withdrawn herself from others and is always disappearing. Danny has noticed her behavior. He can't help but wonder what is wrong. Suckish summary. But hey this a story you'll want to read.
Don't own nothing.
Chapter 1
Sam's POV
"I feel cold. I feel paranoid. You probably think I'm crazy. Everyone does. But I can't help it. But…you're probably confused right now, so let me explain…from the beginning." I said calmly as I looked at the therapist. She sat across from me raising an eyebrow. I started fiddling with my fingers. Danny sat next to me and noticed my behavior. I was getting anxious. Nervous. He took my hand and held it. I looked at him. He smiled reassuringly. I tried to return it.
"Are you ready to continue Mrs. Fenton?" The therapist asked me. I looked at her and nodded. She smiled. I took a comforting breath and let it out slowly. Then I began my tale.
5 Years Ago
No One's POV
It was a cloudy and grey day as fifteen year old Samantha, or "Sam" as she prefers it, woke up. She stretched and groaned as she turned off her alarm clock. Sam shivered as she got out of bed. She had a feeling like she was being watched. She smiled thinking it was Danny. "Danny, I know your there." She said giggling. But when she got no reply her feeling increased. She walked towards her balcony and look outside. She saw nothing but fog and grey clouds. She sighed but then got a feeling to look towards the forest across from her backyard. She looked but could see nothing. But the more she searched the more she felt a feeling of dread. She began to feel scared and paranoid. She hurriedly walked back into her warm room and shut the balcony doors. She took deep calming breaths. She then felt something trickling down her face. She looked in the mirror and saw a trickle of blood leaving a trail from her nose and down. She gasped.
"Great. Of all times to get a stupid nose bleed." She muttered. She pinched her nose to try to stop the flow of blood and got a tissue. She wadded some of it up and plugged up her nose. She then went to dress in her usual attire. She walked downstairs and ate her bat cereal. Her mother and father were out at the country club and her grandma was on a mini vacation. As Sam ate in silence, the feeling she got earlier returned. She shuddered and looked out the window. But she saw nothing. Suddenly the doorbell rang causing her to scream in fear. Danny heard the scream and phased through the door.
"Sam?! Are you alright?! I heard a- oh never mind." Danny said seeing Sam recovering from her shock. Sam glared at Danny. Danny just rolled his eyes.
"What did you want Danny?" Sam asked. Danny smiled.
"I was wondering if…maybe…you would like a lift to…school." He asked nervously. Sam smiled.
"Sure Danny. I would love lift." She said. Danny smiled. Sam took her dishes to the sink. She looked out the window for a brief moment and saw the forest. But she screamed in terror at what her eyes landed on. Danny jumped and immediately went to Sam.
"What is it?" he asked. Sam said nothing but looked out the window. Danny looked to where she was gazing, "Sam, do you see something?" He asked. Sam shook her head.
"I thought…I thought I saw…forget it. How about that ride to school?" She asked changing the subject. She still felt scared and the fact that Danny didn't see that…that thing scared her even more. Danny smiled unsurely.
"Yeah. We better get going." He said. He picked Sam up bridal style. Sam giggled and hung close to Danny. The feeling she felt quickly diminished and her heart skipped two beats. Sam marveled at the small city below them. She looked up at Danny and smiled. She always felt safe no matter what in his arms. As they neared the school, Danny landed and looked around to make sure no one could see him transform. Once he did, he took Sam's hand and the two of them went inside the building. Before Sam entered she looked around the area. There were trees which made her slightly scared. Seeing nothing was there she entered the building. But all the while there was figure watching. He was silently looking at her. Silently watching her every move. Silently waiting…
During the school day
Sam kept having nose bleeds throughout the day. She would have to keep asking to go the restroom for tissue. She sighed as this was where she currently was. She sitting on the floor of the girls' bathroom stuffing her nose with tissue. Aside from the nose bleeds, she had that dreading feeling all day. She got up to clean the blood away from her hands. She looked in the mirror and saw a small mirror in the bathroom. Has that always been there? She thought. She shook her head. She felt an urge to look out the window but dismissed the feeling. She returned to Mr. Lancer's class just in time to hear him announce the field trip.
"Welcome back Miss Manson. You made it just in time to hear the news." He said. Sam nodded and walked back to her seat. "Class we are going to spending the next four days on a camping trip." He said. Everyone groaned. Danny, Tucker, and Sam looked at each other.
"How many times do we have to go on a stupid camping trip?" Danny asked. Sam shrugged.
"Guess I better pack extra movies and technology." Tucker said frowning. Sam remained silent. She didn't want to go on the trip. Mainly because she was going to be surrounded by trees for four days. Sam wasn't one to have a disliking towards nature, but trees have suddenly become spookier to her. "Sam? Earth to Sam. Are you in there?" Tucker asked waving an arm in front of her. Sam snapped out of her thought.
"What?" She said. Danny raised an eyebrow.
"Are you ok Sam? You've been acting weird all day." Danny said. Sam nodded.
"I'm fine. I just don't want to go on the trip. That's all." She said. Danny nodded slowly. Tucker frowned.
"For someone who loves nature I would have thought you would be excited." He said. Sam sighed.
"I don't I just haven't been feeling comfortable around trees…" She said. Danny and Tucker gaped at her.
"Am I going crazy? Sam Manson, the Sam Manson is feeling unsafe around trees." Tucker said incredulously. Sam rolled her eyes. The bell to signal the end of school bell. Sam got up and grabbed her things. She was planning on walking home…but her uneasiness made her ask Danny.
"Danny?" she said. Danny turned around and looked at her.
"Yeah Sam?" He asked. A look of concern crossed his face. Sam took a deep breath.
"Can…could you walk me home? I-I don't feel comfortable being by myself." She said quietly. Danny nodded.
"Sure Sam." He wrapped an arm around her should and gave her a hug, "Are you sure you're ok?" He asked. Sam didn't reply. She just hugged him. Tucker turned around and smiled. He pulled out his PDA and took a photo. "If you take another picture Tuck, I will kill your "baby"." Danny said ending the hug. Tucker paled and quickly put his PDA away.
"I'm gonna go and pack up." Tucker said. He waved goodbye to his friends and left. Sam and Danny walked out the building.
"Sam, if you need to get something off your chest I'm right here." Danny said. Sam smiled. She froze when she glanced at a patch of trees. There she saw the figure again. He was tall and skinny. He was black except for his face. Sam gasped as she looked at his face. It was pale white. There was no mouth, eyes, or nose. She let out a scream which startled Danny.
"Sam?! Sam! Sam wake up!" Danny said. Everyone outside of the school gathered around the screaming girl. She was looked unconscious.
"What in Golems name is happening people?!" Mr. Lancer asked. He gasped when he saw Sam screaming. "What happened?" He asked Danny. Danny was speechless.
"I-I don't know. W-we were just walking and she glanced at the trees. Then she fainted and all of a sudden she just screamed." He said. The kids in the group gasped.
"It's him! She saw him!" a girl said on shock. Danny looked at them.
"Who?" He asked. Everyone gave him a "are you kidding me" look. Danny stood up "Tell me who!" He said. Everyone remained silent, until one kid, a jock, stood forward.
