Discovered

Chapter 2

Valerie's POV

I gasped in horror as I saw Phantom fall to the ground unconscious after the ghost had shocked him with a device. I quickly went for my bag and pulled out a plasma ray, aiming it at the ghost. I fired it but the ghost easily deflected.

He let out an evil chuckle and disappeared. I growled deep in my throat and put away the gun, shoving it in my bag.

"Danny!" I heard Fenton's friend Sam yell, running towards the limp ghost. Fenton's sister following.

I kneeled down next to the ghost who was limp against the wall. His face paler than he usually was. His arm was draped over his abdomen where he was stabbed by the metal.

"Phantom? Phantom, can you hear me?" I asked, trying to wake the ghost.

Jazz was kneeling next to Sam, who was trying to wake the ghost. My eyes moved to his shoulder. The fabric there was burnt off, showing his purple and swoolen shoulder. It shocked me, 'Can a ghost really get hurt like that?' I wondered. It looked dislocated. What am I doing? Why do I care so much about this ghost? I've been hunting him for months. He cost my dad his job! Why am I caring? Why?

A soft moan snapped me out of my trance and I glanced over to see the Phantom waking. The other civilians leaned in, surrounding Phantom. I quickly got annoyed and barked,

"Give him some space!" I pushed some of the people back, leaving Sam, Jazz and I leaning by the fallen ghost.

Sam's POV

I shouted his name, running towards him. I leaned by my best friend, not caring if people wandered, not caring if they thought I was crazy. His arm was around his wound and his breathing was very labored and harsh.

Valerie made her way over to us and leaned next to Danny. I was very suspicious of her. She had been hunting him, Why was she being so friendly?

Her voice disrupted my thoughts, "Phantom! Phantom, can you hear me?"

I ignored her and studied his injuries. There was a soft moan that drew my attention. The others started to crowd us, leaning in to see Danny.

Valerie stood up and pushed some of the people back, "Give him some space!"

I watched intensely as Danny's eyes opened slightly, looking at me straight in the eye.

"Sam." He muttered weakly. I sighed as tears brimmed my eyes.

"I'm here Danny." I reassured him, grabbing his hand.

His eyes opened wider, trying to sit up. I put my hand on his chest, pushing him back down.

"Don't. You'll be okay. You'll be okay." He moaned and tightened his grip around my hand. I gave him a sad smile. His face seemed to scrunch up in pain. He started to shake, gripping his abdomen harder.

"Danny? Are you okay? What's happening?" I asked, panicking.

He groaned in response putting his head down, white hair falling in his face.

Danny's POV

I felt shooting pain erupt in my spine, moving to my stomach. I closed my eyes, shaking. Something was really wrong. I felt a strange tingling feeling around my waist. I had recognized it. I was about to change back. I started to internally panic.

"Danny? Are you okay? What's happening?" I heard my best friend ask, panically.

I bowed my head, trying to stop the transformation. I was surrounded by people, I couldn't change then. Worst of all, Valerie.

"Sam. G-Get e-everyone out of here." I stuttered, keeping my head bowed.

"Danny, w-what are you talking about?" She asked, obviously confused.

I raised my head, looking her in the eye as my eye color started fading to blue. I let out a shuddering breath as she realized what was happening. Valerie raised an eyebrow at me. Sam stood up, quickly as I closed my eyes again.

"Everyone please leave!" I heard my friend shout.

I let out a scream right after, pain shooting all over my limbs and spine. I breathed heavily and shuddered.

"Danny!" I heard Sam yell my name. I groaned as I felt the familiar sensation as a silver ring, appeared around my waist.
