Valerie shook herself awake. She couldn't believe she had the dream again. Ever since she left Amity Park she had the dream. It had started out every night but simmered down to every now and then, but for the last three months the dreams were coming on strong.
It always started with her walking down a hallway. She was passing by everyone she knew, human and ghost. They were all clapping for her and she felt an overwhelming sense of pride and happiness. She would enter a large room with two large thrones. There stood a man who she didn't recognize at first, but she approached him anyway. The man turned around, it was Danny. He reached his hand out to her.
"At last my queen has arrived. Come Valerie and accept your crown, it is your fate, it is your destiny."
As she reached for his hand something changed. She was no longer proud and happy, she was afraid for her life. She quickly snatched back her hand and screamed. He grabbed her and dragged her to the throne.
"No is not an option Valerie. You can't leave me, you won't. You're going to be here forever. Aren't you my little queen?" His voice was deeper and colder. "Aren't you?" A pair of red eyes appeared before her face.
This was the time when she usually woke up screaming. Vlad would come to her room and ask her what's wrong. She would tell him and he would comfort her by telling her it was just a dream, but now she didn't have Vlad. She taught herself not to scream anymore, but the fear was still there.
Valerie looked over at the clock it read 9:30. She cursed herself; the lack of sleep had really messed up her biological clock. Another late day, she thought to herself. She dragged herself out of bed and hit the floor and started her morning push-ups. Amazingly, no matter how much she worked out she never got bulky. For this she was glad. She hadn't lost her baby fat, but it rather moved to her breasts and butt. This seemed hot to guys, but it made it harder for her to balance during fights.
When she was done she went and showered. There was a knock on her bathroom door. "Miss Valerie, running a little late aren't we?"
Valerie sighed. Sometimes she wondered why she gave that girl a key, but who was she kidding she was her best friend and watched over her and her assets.
"Alright Shanna, I'll be out in a sec'." Shanna Deaton was her PA the closest thing she had to family on Wisconsin now that Vlad was dead. She shuddered thinking about her deceased tutor and friend.
She turned of the water and stepped out of the shower. She wrapped a towel around her body and opened the door. The brunette was sitting on her bed going through her PDA. Valerie had to laugh to herself, a PA on a PDA.
"Okay, you've got an invite to the governor's ball, luncheon with the sheik from Morocco who wants a part of Master's Weaponry, and The National Enquirer wants an interview, oh and your dad called."
"No, no, hell no, and what's up with Daddy?" Valerie asked. Even though she no longer lived in Amity Park, Valerie and her father were still very close. She sent him gifts from other countries when she went traveling. She also sent for him to come to the mansion anytime he was free.
"I don't know, he just said that it was really serious"
"Uh Shanna, you could have put that first."
"Well sorry!" She passed Valerie her cell phone. Valerie scrolled down the names until she found his name and pressed the call button. The phone had barely ringed when he picked up.
"Hello, Valerie."
"Yea Dad, what's up?"
"Valerie," her father's voice seemed agitated and scarred, "you have to come back to Amity, something has happened. I wouldn't have asked you back if I could, but I can't. I'm sorry Val, but you have to come back."
"Dad slow down, you're not making sense. What's going on? Why do I need to come back?"
"It's a ghost, a big ghost. It's threatening to kill everyone in the city in 4 days. Its powerful."
"Why doesn't everyone evacuate."
"It won't let us leave. Every time someone tries to a bolt of lightening hits near them. Any farther and they get hit, not enough to kill them but enough to hurt."
"Well what the heck is wonder boy doing?"
"Danny is trying his best but we need you to come Valerie, but you need to come, you have to come."
"Why?"
"It asked for you, its because it asked directly for you." Her father's voice was full of sorrow, " It said if you don't come in 4 days it will destroy Amity Park." Valerie froze where she stood. She had decided when she ran away that she never wanted to return that place. There was just too many memories there and people she definately didn't want to see.
She was embarrassed and disgusted with herself when she found out who Danny really was. She just couldn't live with herself after that and had to leave. Vlad welcomed her with open arms and happily accepted. It was like having another dad. He was kind and loving. She trusted him with her life and was crushed when he was killed. No one really knew how it happened just all the signs were there so it was a near no-brainer.
"I understand."
She hung up the phone and looked over at Shanna. "I've got to go."
"Val, what's up, you don't look so hot."
"I've got to go, I've got to go back home. Call the airport and tell them to my the jet ready, I'm going to Amity Park."
"Okay I'll call them and start packing."
"No, you can't come. Its one of those things." She looked over at her assistant and gave her a look she understood completely.
"What weapons should I pack for you?" she said as calmly as possible.
"My suit and the DD set will do nicely." The look on Shanna's face was full of fear and confusion. "Yeah its that bad," she answered then added with a slight smile, "Don't worry girl, I'll be okay, just an in and out situation."
" How can you be okay if you're asking for the Dooms Day set?"
"Just trust me, and please find me something to wear."
Shanna smiled. "Ok. I'm thinking something that says sexy bad girl. Just in case you meet up with that Danny guy."
"Not likely and not going to happen. We've been over for 5 years."
"But think about it, he might still harboring some feelings for you and you could really mess with his head. Or you cold just turn some heads, I mean it's been a while since you've had a boyfriend."
"First of all shut up. Second I'm not really that type of girl, and third something not too skanky or desperate just enough to make mouths water." She winked at her friend and laughed.
Valerie ended up leaving for the airport in a khaki mid-mini skirt, an orange backless shirt, a tan jacket, a pair of wedge sandals, and her now straightened hair pulled back with 2 hair sticks. Not exactly her normal style but really cute.
As the plane took off all she could think about was Amity Park. What would everyone look like? How have things changed? She clicked her French-manicured nails together in contemplation.
Did Sam and Danny get together? They were probably married by now. She felt a slight twinge of jealousy that she pushed away. Forget it Val, you may love Danny but he's still Phantom, a voice in her head chided. "I don't love Danny." She answered herself out loud. Sure you don't.
She was about to answer back when the seatbelt light came on. The plane was about to land. She relaxed and prepared herself for the reunion of her and the citizens of Amity Park.
For the safety of the pilot and the fact that Amity didn't really have its own airport she landed in a neighboring city. Shanna had already rented a car for her, the angel, and Valerie started on her journey towards her old hometown.
It was a quiet drive until she was close to the city-limits, and Valerie was face with a wondrous sight. The sky was a swirling vortex of fire with its core dead in the center of Amity Park. Hmm, all this for me, who did I piss off?
She drove into to the city. The streets were pretty much empty except for a brave soul or two. Everyone must be inside under lockdown, Valerie thought.
She recognized the car she bought her dad and parked. It was in front of a building the read: Amity Park Phenomenon Task Force. This must be the place.
She exited the car and walked right through the front door. "Well hello Miss. Gray" Valerie looked to see a familiar blonde behind the main desk.
"Star?" she reached over the desk and hugged her, at one time, best friend. "Girl, you look great."
"Oh you're one to talk. That is one of the hottest outfits I've ever seen… see what you've I'm hear talking about fashion when you're here to save our asses."
"Girl, don't trip. I'm glad to see you're doing well."
"Yeah, but don't let me hold you up. Everyone is in the conference room, down the hall and to the right can't miss it."
Valerie said thanks and goodbye and headed for the conference room. No one seemed to be at their desks so she guessed they were at home or in the meeting. Luckily there was a bathroom on her way there, she slipped in and prepared for her biggest test. Seeing him. She checked herself about 5 times and then headed for the conference room.
Due to her martial art skills and cat like reflexes she slipped in the room unnoticed. The room was dark and there was a project displaying different plans on a white board. She stood over in one of the dark back corners. Her father was up on the board seeming to try to put up alternate plans of actions. Her Daddy, always trying to protect her from hurt.
" Okay are we sure its Valerie they want."
"We're very sure. I was able to record what Danny heard instead of what the EVP put off, this will be the first time anyone's heard it other that me or Danny." Tucker responded.
All of a sudden a definitely ghostly came over the speakers. "…We want Valerie Gray."
"Wait there's more."
"On the final day a palace will rise in the center of the city. She must come with only one other. If our demands are not met or not followed in anyway we will destroy the city."
Valerie spoke up, "Well that's about as clear as a bell." Someone turned on the lights and everyone turned to see the beautiful girl standing in the corner. "You all look like you've seen a ghost," she said smiling. When everyone still seemed stuck looking at her she broke the ice, "Don't everyone get up at once I've only just been gone for 5 years."
Everyone seemed to break from their trance, stood up, and started the reunions and introductions. Only a few of the people she truly knew, others were acquaintances or just citizens who knew of her. She saw a tall, built, black haired guy standing a bit away from the crowd staring at her with vivid blue eyes. She stared back at him for a moment before giving him a slight nod. He returned it. That was their greeting; more of an acknowledging of each other's existence.
After the catching up was over, Valerie decided to speak, "So who's going with me?"
"I am." Valerie turned to see Danny looking straight at her. She smiled slightly in an almost unnerving way.
"So be it."
Aw is there some tension in Danny x Valerie land. Uh duh. I know there is a lot of dialogue and little action but I just want to make a good story. This chapter is dedicated to Shanna Deaton. Sounds familiar? Yea well she's my buddy. Alrighty, you know the drill. Review me please!
Heart you all.
