Chapter 4 Walking past Danger
The alarm from Tucker's PDA woke up Danny. Danny blinked a few times trying to get the sleep way. He looked down saw that Sam's head was resting on his chest. Danny tried to move away from Sam so that he could wake up everyone. But he was careful enough to not wake Sam up. He wanted Sam to get some more sleep. Because Sam woke up every now and then to check if Danny's injuries were healing properly or not and he also knew that she was just as worried as him.
Danny carefully moved Sam's arm to not wake her up, but failure. Sam was a light sleeper, so as soon as Danny moved Sam's arm, her eyes fluttered open.
"Good Morning Sammy" Danny said to a still half asleep Sam.
Although Sam was not a morning person, hearing Danny greet her good morning so innocently, her face lit up.
She replied saying, "Good Morning Danny" just as innocently as him. Danny smiled at her and they got from their position and started to wake those up who were still asleep.
Danny was really worried that today they have to go past Skulker's Island. Danny told the others(Team Phantom), " Today we are going to go past Skulker's Island. In other others Danger. Do you think we will be safe?"
Tuck, Jazz and Sam looked at each other and then at Danny and shrugged their shoulders.
Sam said, " Danny, if something happens we are here to protect them. We have the fenton weapons with us. That's more than enough for Skulker." And reassuringly smiled at him to which he replied with a smile of his own.
Tuck saw that Danny still seemed worried and said, " Dude, chill! Nothings gonna happen. If something does, we will fight it together. Heck, even I can beat up Skulker!" at this everyone laughed as the tension of the moment faded away.
Tucker's comment was hilarious, but it was true. Tucker could beat up Skulker with the help of his PDA. And besides, after 2 years of fighting ghosts continuously and literally every single day, you do get that much skilled to beat the crap out of Skulker, who, really is just a small ecto-blob like creature. Sometimes, it feels that Ember was right, he really was a lousy hunter.
As the tension in the air eased up, Danny seemed to relax. And he knew that Tucker was right. So, he really wasn't worried about the class that much because Team Ohantom can protect them. Rather, he was extremely worried for Skulker.
Seeming as he promised that loyal subjects or not he will protect them, it was his right and duty to be worried about a resident of Ghost Zone even if it was Skulker. He growled at the thought, I mean who wouldn't? You just realized that you have to save someone who is constantly hunting you for your pelt at the foot of his bed.
Danny shuddered at the thought as it was extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY,EXTREMELY GROSS!
Team phantom thought that the best would be to tell the class about the upcoming danger they were going to walk past through. And to warn Mr. and Mrs. Fenton and Valerie to not attack the ghost.
Danny, " Okay so everyone, we are going to walk past Skulker's Island. And he is the greatest hunter of the ghost zone and wants my pelt on the foot of his bed." Many 'Ewws' and 'Gross' could be heard from the crowd. But that's when Maddie asked an important question.
"Why does he want your pelt on the foot of his bed?" Again, the same response from the crowd.
Danny thought for a bit and then looked at his friends seeing the expression on his face they seemed to understand. Almost telepathically and they all greed to the excuse Danny came up with.
"Well we, I mean Sam, Tuck, Jazz and I have been fighting ghosts alongside of Phantom. So, when we fought with Skulker, I helped him to defeat him, since then he is hunting both of us and you know the rest of the gross part."
" Daniel James Fenton!" Maddie exclaimed "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU FOUGHT ALONGSIDE OF THE GHOST SCUM, PHANTOM WITH THE GREATEST HUNTER OF GHOST ZONE! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT!"
"MOM CHILL!" Danny yelled, to everyone excluding Team Phantom's surprise.
Maddie blinked a few times as Danny explained " look Mom. Not all ghosts are bad, some ghosts are good. Phantom is one of them. He fought at the stake of his after life to protect the people, who right now are thinking that he is just some evil ghost scum!" Danny continued " Do you know many times he saved me, Jazz, Tuck and Sam? How many times he actually saved all of us?
Maddie seemed to still not believe at her own Son's words. But she didn't say anything knowing that everyone probably agreed with what her son just said. She still seemed doubtful towards it. It's not that Maddie didn't even try to understand. She really tried, but she still was just believing to whatever her mind was saying instead of her heart. As somewhere, in her heart she was having a feeling known as guilt.
Guilt because she always thought of a good ghost as a bad one. Guilt for not trying to know the truth of Phantom and her children. Guilt for all the unnecessary fights she caused the poor ghaost child seemingly as he looked like a teenager of Danny's age.
Right now she pitied the poor Phantom, he must have died at the age of 15-16. And now when he is trying to do good, people are taking him bad. All he did was try to save Amity Park. But he was protested for that even. She really pitied the ghost child.
But her mind was telling her that, he was a filthy, ghost scum who is evil and is brainwashing everyone to support him so that he could rule them and then destroy Amity Park.
But was it really their support he wanted or was it really their TRUST he wanted? Maddie was confused but was still adamant that Phantom was evil because her mind was telling her so. But if she followed her heart she would have known that Phantom is a good guy, a savior worth the trust of many.
