I opened one eye and looked down. A transparent white ring appeared around me and traveled up my body and I instantly stopped falling.

Yes! It worked-

A bullet flew past my head, ruining my glorious moment. Wait…Dad couldn't have done that! He had terrible aim.

Great. Mom's aiming for me too.

I franticly flew in the one direction I knew where I could escape to: Sam's house.

Bam!
Instantly feeling a sharp pain hit my side, I almost fell.

"We got him!" I heard Mom exclaim. My eyes were struggling to keep conscious. Half awake, I turned invisible and went as fast as I could over to Sam's before my Mom could catch my aching body.

It was already night time when I arrived and I was over the point of exhaustion. I floated down onto Sam's doorstep, fighting to stand up straight.

Examining my wounds, I checked the side where I was hit by Mom. A big area had a sickening amount of ectoplasm flowing out from it. I turned back into human (or back into a regular dog) and the ectoplasm turn into blood. A lot of it.

Just as I finished transforming, I almost collapsed from lack of energy. I head butted the door several times with the last of my strength. The door opened to reveal a small girl about five years old. She stared at me and I gave her a puppy dog face, hoping to convince her to let me in.

"Doggie!" She said excitedly as she hugged me. I almost fainted when she touched my wounded area, but forced myself to stay upright.

"Hey Mia, who's-" an all-too-familiar voice began. I looked up and was face to face with…Sam?

She and I gaped at each other. I couldn't believe it.

She was wearing a pink jacket on top of her usual black one while wearing jeans. When did she start liking the color pink? And who was this little girl with her? (I mentioned the pink jacket, right?). Was I going mad?

Ignoring her changes, I gave her pleading eyes before…collapsing…

Sam's POV

"Is he gonna be okay?" I heard Mia ask. "Cuz' he fell asleep."

I stared at the white dog that just came in through my door. He had a large wound on his right side that was pouring with blood. I flinched.

What the heck just happened right now? Snapping back into reality, I began to talk to Mia.

"Yeah, he's gonna be fine." I assured. "Help me carry him to my bedroom."

At least this kept my mind off this stupid outfit.

Saving some money for college, I decided doing the most annoying job in the world: Babysitting. Mom thought that I would scare the little kids with me wearing all black and asked me to change into something pink.

Ugh. That word is like taboo to me.

Unfortunately, I did scare the first kid I had away, so I decided to bear with it, on account that I have to keep this a secret from Danny and Tucker. At least Mia is the kind of kid for me to baby sit. She isn't afraid of me wearing black or anything, but wanted me to keep the outfit on to play dress-up.

She and I helped the dog into my room and on the bed.

"I guess those nursing lessons I had to go though weren't for nothing." I muttered as I started to inject a needle into his wound.

Danny's POV

My eyes were half open when I woke up. My body felt so weak. I tried to rise, but my body wouldn't respond. Using my eyes to scan the room, I spotted a pair of black combat boots. Sam.

Looking upward, I focused my eyes on Sam. She wasn't wearing that pink coat from last night. Was I hallucinating this entire time? Was everything I saw last night my imagination?

"You're safe now. Your master won't hurt you anymore." She said to me in a reassuring tone. I blinked. Master?

"Yeah," she sighed to herself. "I'm sure you don't understand me."

Once I had the strength to stand up again, I felt someone jump onto my back, pushing me down.

Ack!

"Doggie's awake!"

It was the little girl from last night. Mia was her name, right? So I wasn't hallucinating…

"I'm babysitting her right now." She whispered to me.

A new fact about Sam: She talks to animals.

I stood up again and left the room, with Sam and Mia following behind, bewildered. I descended downstairs and stopped at her front door. Sam came up to me.

"Do you want to walk?" she asked.

I nodded, which seemed to surprise her.

"You understand what I'm saying?" she questioned. I head butted the door without answering. Still curious, she opened the door and I bolted out.

"Hey! Wait for us!" Mia called.

I ran around a corner of the sidewalk changing into ghost form as I did so. The blue rings encircled around me as I felt myself transform. When they came around, they both had confusion on their face.

"What the-? How did-?" Sam started. "Since when did you have black stripes?"

What? I looked down at myself. She was right. I looked like I was before, but with black strips of fur on my back and sides.

I am such an idiot.

I shrugged, as if to say "I've got no idea what you're talking about."

"Where'd you want us to go?" Mia asked, thankfully changing the subject.

I had an idea and ran toward the direction of my house.

"Wait!" I heard Sam yell.

They followed me in every direction until I got home. I snickered a little when they finally caught up.

"Don't ever try doing that again." Sam threatened, catching her breath.

"Bad Doggie!" Mia shouted from behind Sam. I chuckled.

"You still haven't answered my-" Sam began.

When Sam looked up again, she noticed the huge sign that said "Fenton Works" above my head.

"Is this your master's house?" Mia asked, sounding a bit disappointed.

I barked in response. Sam began to look a little more puzzled. My family wasn't the kind of that hurt anyone, except ghosts. Before Sam could say anything else, the door opened…

Sorry if the Point of Views are confusing. This was my first story after all...
