Chapter 4

Sam watched the desk in front of her. Danny's seat was empty, and she was hoping that any second he would run into the classroom with a late note or an excuse saying he overslept. Sam had spent all night worrying about him and couldn't sneak out because her parents had her on constant watch last night (security guards all around her room); She just wanted to know if he was alright. The bell rang, making her jump out of her thoughts.

"No sign of him?" Tucker asked Sam as he walked up to her as she gathered her things.

Sam said sighing sadly, walking into the hall. "Tucker, I'm really scared. I mean, haven't talked to Danny since yesterday at school. He didn't show up last night or call and after my mom mentioned him being in the area, I think something bad happened to him."

"I think that was obvious when your mom saw him in the area and he didn't come in," Tucker said, nodding. "Let's find Jazz and ask her if she saw Danny since yesterday."

Sam nodded and they turned around to go to Jazz's locker, but there was no need. Jazz was walking fast towards them, her face wearing the scared expression that they had on. Once Jazz had joined them, they all asked simultaneously "Do you know where Danny is?" The threesome stood silently; if they all asked the same question, they all know the answer the other will say.

Jazz suddenly broke down crying. Tucker gently put his hand on her shoulder and asked, "When was the last time you saw Danny."

"He was leaving to go ghost hunting. He told me that he might be back late because he was going go to your house and work on some project and back to hunt ghosts. I went to bed late and then I went to wake him this morning and he wasn't there!" Jazz said in an exasperated and hushed voice between sobs. Her eyes were filled with worry and sadness.

Tucker and Sam looked at each other, their faces filled with alarm. What Jazz had just told them confirmed their theory; something bad happened to Danny.

"Don't worry Jazz, we'll find him," Sam told Danny's older sister in a comforting voice. Turning to Tucker she added, "I'm skipping the rest of the day to search for him, you coming?"

Tucker nodded. They looked at Jazz, who shook her head. "I would go with you, but I have an essay to write in class today. Good luck you two," Jazz said, drying her tears. She then walked off, filled with hope that her brother's two best friends will find him. "Please alright Danny," Jazz whispered into the air; hoping that some way he can hear her.

Tucker and Sam went into Danny's locker and got some ghost hunting gear: a Fenton thermos, Fenton fisher and an ecto-gun. They also saw a small black book with a tattered cover. Sam looked over the book; intrigued as to why Danny would have a book like that in his locker.

"Come on Sam, let's go!" Tucker said to Sam in a hurried voice. "We've gotta find Danny." He started walking away from Danny's locker, leaving Sam mesmerized by the book.

"Right," Sam answered to Tucker, who was already waiting by the doors. However, when Tucker wasn't looking, Sam stuffed the black book into her bag. The two teens sneaked out of the school undetected by any teachers and started their search for their ghostly friend.

Clockwork watched Danny on the screen, trying to battle that dragon. He sighed as Danny tried blasting the dragon with a ghost ray. He watched Danny's image on the screen as he was repeatedly slashed and bruised. Clockwork knew this wasn't going anywhere good. He then changed the screen to Danny's friends, searching and calling out for their lost friend. Clockwork's face fell ever so slightly, as if he felt like he betrayed someone.

A cold mist appeared behind Clockwork. The time ghost knew that Fear was behind him, but didn't move. The floating body of Fear soon hovered over the spot where the mist was. "He is on Fear Island, Clockwork. You know that there is only one way out, he must do this on his own," Fear told Clockwork as Clockwork turned to look at him.

"Don't over do it, Fear," Clockwork told the other ghost in a menacing voice. "I want him get over his fear, but he is still only a child."

"Don't tell me you are fond of this boy Clockwork," Fear said mockingly.

"You know that he is my responsibility, Fear. You also know that I know everything. If you know all these things, why do you still question me?" Clockwork told Fear, in a voice daring him not to go any further. Clockwork looked at Fear directly in the eye (or into his hood since his face was hidden) and told him in an extremely viscous tone, "If you hurt that boy in anyway, you will answer to me, Fear. And hardly any ghost knows what I'm capable of. You may be the ghost of Fear, but if you go too far, you will be fearing me." Clockwork's eyes danced with anger and determination.

Fear was taken aback. In front of him was the ghost of Time, yet for some reason he was afraid of Clockwork. Fear sighed and said, "I won't go too far, Clockwork." Fear out his left hand behind his back and crossed his fingers as he said "I Promise." The ghost of Fear then departed leaving Clockwork alone in his lair yet again.

Sighing, Clockwork turned back to the screen where Sam and Tucker were calling out Danny's name yet again. "Let's hope you have what it takes to face what the future has in store for you," Clockwork said to the teens, as he flipped his orb back to Danny. The time ghost sighed sadly and looked on, watching Danny struggle on his own as an eerie light started to glow above him.

"Where is he, Tucker?" Sam asked her friend yet again. Their search for Danny had led them to the park. They had been looking for Danny for over three hours and there was no trace of him; it was like he vanished into thin air. They were both exhausted and worried out of their minds.

"Sam, we've got to stay calm. He's gotta be around here somewhere," Tucker told his scared friend.

"Maybe this book I found might help," Sam suggested, pulling the black book out of her bag.

"Let me see that," Tucker said, quickly snatching the book from Sam. He looked at the cover; it was tattered. He opened the first page and read it. It said: Property of D. F. / D. P. e flipped to the next page where it had the date when Danny got his ghost powers. "Oh my gosh!" Tucker exclaimed as he closed the book. "This is Danny's Journal!"

"His what?" Sam asked, confused.

"His journal. I guess he never wanted us to know he had one," Tucker said, getting depressed. His eyes then suddenly sparkled mischievously. "But...we can take a peak at what he doesn't want us to know..." Tucker was going to open the book again, but something took it out of his hand before he had a chance to.

"Tucker, a person's journal is something you don't peek at without their permission. A journal helps the person express their emotions. It just isn't right to peek inside," Sam said, waving the book in front of Tucker. "Whatever Danny didn't want us to know, he had a good reason for it. Although..." she looked at the book. "Maybe there's something in here that can lead us to Danny." She looked at the book, debating whether she should or shouldn't open the journal. She finally decided to stuff it back into her bag, ignoring Tucker's whining and protests.

Suddenly, a blast hit a tree that was next to them. They whirled around, surprised and shocked. Before them stood a ghost in black robes, surrounded by some sort of mist. This ghost made both Sam and Tucker freeze in fear.

"You are the ghost boy's friends, are you not?" Fear asked Sam and Tucker, his voice running a chill through their spines.

Even though she was scared beyond reason, Sam knew that this ghost knew something about Danny's disappearance. "Where's Danny," Sam asked in the most confident voice she was able to.

"Let me show you where he is," Fear told them, in a mischievous and menacing way. Before Sam and Tucker could react, Fear surrounded them with the mist, making it hard for them to breathe. They gasped, trying to get air. Then Tucker collapsed onto the ground, leaving Sam to fend for herself. Sam remembered the Fenton utility weapon in her bag. Struggling, she tried to get to the weapon, but it was no use. The mist suffocated her and caused her to collapse onto the ground next to Tucker.

Fear laughed an evil laugh as the mist surrounded the two teens, making them invisible to the outside world. Fear waved his bony hand and the mist disappeared, taking Sam and Tucker with it.

So... Fear's captured Sam and Tucker along with our favourtie ghost boy... :evil smile: for those of you who are new to the story, you're in for a treat. For those fine people who looked at the first version of this (it's on my profile if you want to check it out) You what's going to happen but keep a sharp lookout for new changes.

Once again I beg fo rreviews... PWEASE?
