Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or any character related to it. I am just a dedicated fan.

DarkDragonQueen: I hate my muses at this particular moment. Plot I and III were neck and neck when it came to the votes so when I had decide which one to use, once again Drama and Angst had to pop up in my head. They kept arguing that the first story didn't have enough of them in it and they would not be satisfied until I made a good story with them in it. It got so bad that they started to send me different way to develop the plot of the third Plot and not the first when I attempted to develop it, so in the end I relented. Plot III won and all because my muses wouldn't leave me alone.

If you can't handle violence, don't read this chapter. It's not bad, but it's bordering M rated, but it's not. I'e seen much more in a T rated story before. I just wanted to let you know before you read this.

You know what I'm about to put here so, here's the shortened version. My grammar's not perfect, use of words and spelling make up for that, so don't go tripping about it and so on and so on…

So without further ado I give you the first chapter of the second book of… Trial, Transition, Growth.

Sam sat in her room late Saturday night trying to finish an essay that was due Monday. She sighed as she threw her pencil down on the desk. Aly had been right. Maybe she should stop college, especially with Lilith, and go do a trade. She could go to cosmetology school and be done in a few months or even something as simple as learning to do nails. There was a lot of money in that kind of thing and it was really flexible so she could spend more time with Lilith. Even learning Real Estate wasn't a bad option.

She got up as she considered this course of action. Of course, she'd be throwing a year of college down the drain, but it wasn't as if she had been at it for three years and was in her last. She could still back out. She didn't even know what she would major in. Her plans had changed once Lilith had been born. No longer did she intend to spend the many years she had planned she would to go to college and become a veterinarian. It wasn't her fault though. She hadn't planned on having a baby so soon, but she never regretted having her little Lilith.

She opened the refrigerator as she tapped her foot looking for something to drink. She took a caffeinated soda. Normally, Sam didn't drink sodas at all, but she kept caffeinated sodas for those occasions where she needed to have a late night. She took a sip and then almost dropped the soda in her hands when she heard what sounded like a window opening.

Her blood ran cold as she silently sat the soda down. She then calmed herself and attempted to think logically. It might have been Lilith. She had a habit of getting up at night to shut her window, but then again, she hadn't heard the loud slam that usually followed, but still… When she heard footsteps, she went to get the wood steel coated baseball bat. She kept one in every room of the house, kitchen included. Danny had teased her once about it, Sam could help to be that way after what had happened to her even though she had been out in the dead of the night.

She silently crept out the kitchen mentally noting that it might be Lilith and not to swing at the first sound she heard, but that thought went out the door when she saw someone trying to hide and take something out their pocket. It wasn't Lilith; that was for sure.

Sam quickly went to the spot behind her television and swung, aiming at the person's head. He, as she now saw it was a man, moved out the way and pulled out a gun. She wasn't about to let him fire it though. She took the back and aimed for the gun, managing to knock it out his hand. She didn't know who he was, or what he wanted, but whatever it was he wouldn't get it without a fight.

"Bitch," he growled and came at her, grabbing the baseball bat as she swung again pulling it out her arms. The unknown attacker grabbed Sam in a headlock attempting to choke her. Sam gripped his arm digging her fingernails in and with strength she didn't know she had flipped him over her back and onto his making him lose his grip on her neck. She went to grab her bat again but he grabbed her feet making her trip and fall down. She flipped onto her back as she attempted to kick his hands off her.

Suddenly, he let go though and went to grab something that Sam realized was the gun. She jumped up and jumped on his back pulling him back into a head lock as he fell backwards and they crashed into a side table where a lamp and two frames pictures sat. The lamp broke and the pictures crack. Had this been any other situation, Sam would have thrown a fit at the expensive marble lamp being broken, but now was not the time for that. She kept her arms around the attacker's neck. Then he grabbed the remains of the broken lamp and hit her upside the head with it make her loosen her grip just enough for him to get out of her grip. Then he hit her with it again making her fall to the ground limp with her head pounding.

She heard him get up and pick up his gun. She lifted her head to see him walking down the hallway of her home towards Lilith's room and then she realized who he was. He was the rapist on the news and he was going after Lilith. He had obviously though he had knocked her out.

With newfound strength and speed Sam picked up the baseball bat and used the head to poke him in the back with it. It didn't hurt him, obviously, this guy was in good shape, but it was enough to get his attention. She briefly remembered what Aly's grandmother had told her about in her neighborhood, when they were attacked, there was only two option; fight or flight. Either you got away, fought trying to escape, or die trying and Sam planned on getting Lilith and getting as far away from here as possible.

He turned around and tried to grab her but she made her way past him trying to get to her daughter's room. He was quick though and turned around grabbing her around her shoulders and pointing the gun to her head.

Realizing that all chances of escape were lost, Sam did the only thing she could do now. She begged.

"No!" she cried as tears came to her eyes. "Please! Don't hurt my baby. Not my little girl! Please!" She choked out.

"Shut up and stop fighting or I'll shoot you." The man growled pulling her close to him.

Sam shook her head as she felt the cold metal from the gun pressed to her temple. "Don't hurt her!" she shouted and she could hear Lilith's voice from the room.

"Mommy," she whispered through the closed door.

"I promise, I let her live. You'll see her tomorrow." He said and Sam could here the sick pleasure in his voice from the thought of what he was planning to do.

"Her body will live, but on the inside you'll kill her!" Sam choked out. "I'd rather me and her die than let you get your hands on her."

He pressed his gun harder. "That first part can be easily arranged."

"Please! Leave her alone. I'll do anything you ask. Just… please." Sam whispered unable to finish.

"You don't have much here, do you?"

Sam realized that he was right. She was barely making ends meet now. A thought came to mind right then, but she pushed it away. There had to be some other way.

The attacker threw her down on the floor standing right in front of Lilith's closed door. Sam was frantic now as the previous thought came to her mind. It would be the only way.

"No, wait!" Sam pleaded as she sat up. The rapist wasn't listening though as he put his hand on the doorknob. "You can have me."

The attacker stopped in his tracks at her words as thoughts of having a fully grown and developed woman enter his mind and Sam couldn't believe she was offering her own body, but it was the only thing she could do now. See he was interested, Sam continued.

"You can have me for the entire night as many times as you want, just leave my daughter alone." The tears she had held fell from her eyes.

"Where's your room?" he smirked with no hesitation.

"Last door on the right." Sam looked away in humiliation. "I'll be right there."

She stood up and went into her daughter's room. Lilith was sitting up under the covers.

"Mommy, who were you talking to?"

"Just a friend who to decided to surprise me with a visit," Sam said hiding her tears from Lilith. "Go back to sleep."

Lilith nodded. "Okay mommy." Sam tucked her back in bed. "Good night mommy."

Sam held back a sob at those words. "Good night Lilith." She walked out the room closing the door and locking it, just in case…

She walked to her room where the rapist was waiting on her and closed the door to face him.

"Well let's get started then." He said and nodded his head.

Sam closed her eyes and tried to turn away but he held her in place. Tears once again began to fall, but this time silently as she slowly undressed herself until she was completely naked. His eyes wandered her body and her hand instinctively went up to cover her breast. He pulled them away and looked at her hungrily. He suddenly grabbed her and kissed her fiercely as he forced her on the bed. He played with her body, fondled and sucked her breast, and even gave her an oral.

Then the time came. He pulled down his pants releasing his manhood. She closed her eyes, but he forced her to open them as he opened her legs. It was going to be a long night.

Not as bad as I though it would be. It was on the very brink of M, but not quite there. R&R.
