Chapter 3
"Whoa, I feel dizzy," Sam said, clutching her head. She then looked around. "What are we doing up here?" she asked when she saw they were on the main floor of her house.
"Me too. The last thing I remember was being downstairs working on the project and waiting for Danny," Tucker said, also holding his head. "Where do you think Danny is?"
"I dunno," Sam replied, looking at the fancy oak clock near the stairs. "He said he would be here by now. You don't think he ran into any ghost trouble, do you?"
They stared at each other in silence. They knew that Danny was extremely stubborn, and he wouldn't call for help unless he was really in trouble.
"Maybe I should call his cell," Tucker said, taking out his cell phone.
"Good idea," Sam said, looking at Tucker as he dialed the number.
Tucker listened through the phone, waiting for his friend to answer. It rang, rang again, then rang again. Tucker waited and waited but Danny never answered. "That's weird," Tucker told Sam as he closes his phone. "He's not answering."
"Maybe it's a busy night," Sam suggested, trying to make her voice sound hopeful. "Danny could be held up with lots of ghosts and doesn't have time to pick up the phone." She looks at Tucker, hoping he had a better explanation as to why Danny didn't check in yet.
"Maybe..." Tucker said, his voice trailing. "Come on, maybe he'll come by later. If he doesn't come or call by the time we're done, we'll try calling again."
"I guess..." Sam said. She knew that Danny could take care of himself, but it still didn't keep her from worrying. They went back downstairs, hoping that Danny would come soon.
One hour passed, then two. By the time they were done, Danny had still not checked in or come by. They were now really worried. They called his cell again, but once again, no answer.
"Well if it's a busy night, he probably would've gone home tired, right?" Tucker asked Sam, unsure about the statement he was making.
"Yeah..." Sam said, trailing off. She was extremely worried because when Danny doesn't check in, it means something happened. "Tucker, I think we better go look for him."
"You're right," Tucker said, feeling better that they were going to look for their friend. As they were getting their things a voice from behind them yelled, "SAMANTHA MANSON! WHERE ARE YOU GOING THIS TIME OF NIGHT!"
"Oh darn it," Sam said bitterly, turning to face her mother. "Mom, please, I won't spend long and-"
"No! You are not leaving this house young lady!" Pamela Manson said angrily at Sam. "Tucker I think you should leave." She added in a distasteful yet proper voice.
"Go find Danny," Sam whispered to Tucker when her mother wasn't looking.
"Uh...Bye Mrs. Manson, Bye Sam," Tucker said about to leave.
"Wait a minute," Mrs. Manson said. " I'm going to call your mother so she'll know you're coming. You can't be to careful with that ghost kid being spotted around the area."
"Thanks Mrs. Manson," Tucker said in a depressed tone. It wasn't until he was nearly out the door that he realized that she had said something about Danny. "Wait, did you say something about the ghost kid!" He said, alarmed.
"Yes. He was spotted around the area earlier tonight," Mrs. Manson told Tucker and Sam, confused at the look on their faces.
Sam and Tucker looked at each other, trying to see a reason why Danny didn't come in if he was in the area. They knew if they questioned Sam's mom anymore, she might suspect something. Tucker gave Sam an "I'll call you later" look, then left.

"Good job you two," The ghost said to two ghost blobs. This was the same ghost that was in Clockwork's lair and the same ghost who attacked Danny. "Even if your brother got captured by the ghost boy, you all did your jobs perfectly."
"Yep, we overshadowed his friends while our brother distracted the ghost kid, then made him feel horrible and then left him to you" One ghost blob said.
"So what did you do to the boy?" The second blob asked.
"He needs to face his fears. I sent him to Fear island," The ghost said calmly.
The ghost blobs gasped at the mention of Fear Island; That place was dreaded by every ghost and human.
"Oh, stop your whining." The ghost said irritably. Ever since the Fright Knight betrayed his trust by stealing the fears that he helped him gather, he had to get new assistants… and sadly that was these two. "Now that phase one is complete, it's time to start on phase two. His friends will be the key to help him face his fear. Or else," The ghost said in a negative tone (it wasn't hard because his voice was so cold), "His biggest fear will become his biggest weakness."
The ghost blobs trembled at the sound of the ghost's voice. They hated to serve this ghost but they had no choice; no one says no to the Ghost of Fear.
---------------------
Danny felt awful to say the least. He didn't know what that ghost did to him, but he knew he never wanted it to happen ever again. His senses began to come back to him, albeit slowly. He realized after a while he was lying on sand, with an ocean or lake close by, since he heard the waves.
He finally opened his eyes, with much protest from his body. He was on some sort of beach. Danny tried to sit up, but dropped back down almost instantly; the pain he was feeling was too intense. Danny managed to turn over onto his back and looked around at his surroundings.
He noticed that there was a mist farther out on the sea, encasing the island like a dome. The sun was beating down on Danny, warming him, yet it didn't help the chilling feeling he felt all over his body. Danny took deep breaths, calming himself.
Where the heck am I? He asked himself. He put his hands underneath him, giving him the leverage he needed to push himself up, even though every muscle in his body screamed in agony. Danny eventually sat up and looked down at himself. He didn't see any injuries that seemed serious, but he noticed that he was out of his ghost form.
What happened? He asked himself before the images from before he passed out hit him with full force. A ghost with a cold voice, a mist and laughter, cold laughter; Danny shivered again. That laughter was so icy; it made him want to never see the person who the laugh belonged to. Danny took another deep breath and tried to stand up. Being successful, Danny steadied himself.
Whatever happened after I went unconscious, ended up with that ghost bringing me here, Danny concluded.
After looking around the beach again, Danny decided that it would be best if he looked around the island, even if it was against his better judgment. I hope I can go ghost he thought as he concentrated on transforming. Two glowing rings of bright light, separating from the middle one going up and one going down, answered his question. Danny's white t-shirt and blue jeans were replaced by his black and white uniform. His blue eyes changed to green and his jet black hair changed colour into stark white. Danny smiled and jumped into sky flying into the air.
Danny flew around, exploring the island from above. There was something familiar about this island but Danny couldn't place what it was. However, he didn't have long to dwell on his thoughts. He stopped in midair as his ghost sense went off.
Danny sighed and looked around the area for the ghost, but he didn't have to look far. A deafening roar came from behind him. He turned around quickly, determined to find the source of the sound. A serpent like blue Dragon was speeding towards him, its sharp razor teeth shining in the sunlight.
"Oh no," Danny said out loud, making his problem clear to the entire sky. Danny flew at top speed, attempting to get away from the dragon, who was right on his tail.
Yikes... Danny's not doing so good... well... actually I'm not sayig but let's just say this is the LEAST of his problems. Hopefully that little bitty info about the ghost and his assistants gave you a better idea of the kind of ghost he is.
Again... review... PWEASE :looks sad and pouts:
