Authors Note: Thank you SO much for the reviews! Enjoy :)

Starting to come to, Danny found himself on a cold hard floor. It's as cold as laying down on a ice cube, but to rough to be one. Wondering why he found it so cold when his hazmat suit keeps him warm and maintains his body heat, Danny slowly opens his eyes, still feeling a little hazy from being asleep. He sees grey. A lot of grey. Trying to focus, he wipes the sleep from his eyes and attempts to get up, but stops at the sharp pain in his head. Man what hit me? Danny thought to himself. When his vision become clear, he was the room he is in is a dark grey, with no windows for light just a single light bulb. Where am I? he thought before looking down to himself, and where the hell did my jumpsuit go?

Feeling a little at balance with himself, Danny stood up and looked around the very grey room. Not much was in the room besides a wooden chair, a crate or two, and two empty bowls. Looking at the bowls Danny frowned. Guess I'm not allowed to eat yet. Just he was going to make a move for the door, something stopped him pulling on his neck. He turned around to see a chain running from the wall to his neck. Great, I probably can't use my powers either. Looking around the room one last time, the memories or yesterday came flooding back into his mind.

He was in class when Skulker attacked him and knocked him out with a tranquillizer that actually WORKED. Well this was just perfect. But Danny still didn't understand why the ghost hunter hasn't killed him yet, or why he took his suit off leaving him in his black muscle shirt and dark blue plaid boxers. Sighing to himself, Danny looked down at the ground, his white hair falling in his face. Maybe there was a way out of here, if the stupid chain didn't stop him short of getting out the door just out of his reach.

Suddenly, he was snapped out of his thoughts when said door opened, and in came Skulker with a smirk on his face at the very sight of the ghost child. "Well, you're finally awake. I thought it killed you, what with all the poison in that one little dart could take down a full grown elephant." The hunter explained.

Holy sheep shit. Danny was lucky to be alive still if that could take down an animal thirty times his size. He was just about to go over there and punch that shit eating grin off the mechs face, when the collar and chain stopped him yet again from getting to close. Danny let out a low growl, "What's the big fucking idea?!" He yelled pointing to the collar chain set.

All Skulker did was smirk even bigger, " I WAS going to tie you down and skin you alive." He paused looking at the horror and fear that filled Phantoms eyes before going on. "But, then I thought, what fun would that be? You'd be gone and so would the thrill of the hunt. So why not keep you as a pet? And make you do ANYTHING I want."

Phantoms eyes flashed a bright green, "I WON'T DO SHIT FOR YOU!" He spat out.

The hunters eyes narrowed at the halfa, before taking a step forward. "My, my, my, you've got quiet the potty mouth, don't you Phantom?" He said making Phantom back up a little bit. "I'm gonna have to take care of that now don't I?" Before Danny could reply, he felt metal hit his face and sent him flying backwards into the wall behind him. Phantom held out his hands to use an ecto-iceblast.

But nothing happened.

Skulker all but laughed in his face. "Stupid boy, do you really think I'd let you have your powers while in my grasp? That collar keeps you from using any powers no matter how minor. Also it keeps you in your ghost form, which is a good thing. For what I have in mind for you." He said as he eyes roamed the younger ghosts body. "And as for the part for you doing anything I want. It will come in good time. When I'm done with you, you'll be BEGGING for me to give you everything you'll ever want. And in more ways then one."

Those thoughts made Danny feel sick. The thought of him begging SKULKER of all people and ghost for even a crumb made him feel sick and angry. Sick because he didn't WANT to know what Skulker wants him to beg him for and angry because he has more pride then that.

Danny Phantom does NOT beg.

Never.

"I will NEVER beg you for ANYTHING! So forget about it!" Danny yelled before spitting on Skulker. His spit might have only got on the ghost hunters boot, but that was enough to piss him off to no ends.

Skulker growled deep in his throat. "That's it you little brat! You just lost your right to food for the next twenty four hours!" Skulker yelled back at the ghost brat. For a second he saw a flash of regret in Phantoms bright green glowing eyes, before regret turned to anger.

"You piece of shit metal, you can't do that to me!" Danny seethed.

"Oh but I can. I'll still give you water seeing as I need you alive. But keep going and I'll make it TWO days without food you little brat." He said picking up one of the bowls on the floor and taking it to fill it with fresh water and put it with-in reach for Phantom to get at. All Danny did was glare at the water in front of him like it did something wrong.

At this the hunter rolled his eyes. "There's nothing wrong with it okay. Now drink it." He commanded.

Danny's glare went from the water bowl to the ghost before him. His eyes darkening with pure hate. "I'm NOT a dog." He commented.

Skulkers face hardened, "I KNOW that. But, you WILL listen to me." He said as he crossed his arms over his chest. He narrowed his eyes at his new pet again before saying, "Fine, have it your way. THREE days with-out food."

Danny's jaw drooped, "WHAT THE FUCK I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"

"Want to make it four?" Skulker challenged.

Phantom was going to say something but shut his mouth and looked away with a scowl on his face.

"About what I thought. And if you keep going with that attitude of yours, you wont eat for a week."

Then something came to Danny. His friends and family. They must be worried SICK about where he is! "I can't stay here! My family and friends they'll come looking for me soon."

"No they won't"

Danny was confused. Why wouldn't they? They love him! "Why not?"

"Glad you asked. As of yesterday, they think you signed up to go away to a space camp over the next month or so."

"But my parents didn't sign a permission slip." Danny said.

"No. But Vlad Plasmuis did. He made one up and signed it. Showed it to your parents and they were fine with it. And seeing as summer is around the corner you might get to stay a little longer." Skulker mused. "I'll let you write to your mortal family and friends just to keep them at bay. But I'll be reading the letters over before they go out. Just to make sure you don't hint to them that you're in danger."

THAT BASTURD! Danny angrily thought. He has this all planned out to the T doesn't he?

Skulker turned away from him to leave through the door with a evil smirk on his face. "Good night whelp. Sleep well." He said before leaving and laughing like a lunatic and slamming the door behind him.

Feeling defeated, Danny sat down on the cold floor. He knew if his friends and family thought he was okay they wouldn't bat an eyelash at coming to help him. Giving out a sigh, he looked over at the water bowl once again. Picking it up in his hands, he just stared at it one last time before taking a slow drink from it then set it back down.

Space camp?

More like hell.
