Chapter 4: Figuring Things Out in Tough Times

Danny's POV


The closer they got my sight blurred and I was knocked out.

As I awoke, I found myself in my bed in human form. What just happened? Okay...three green things knocked me out...or was that a dream?I climbed out of my bed befuddled. Did I just dream all that? I then looked at the time...5:00. I checked my phone, the last time I texted Sam and Tuck was an hour ago. Wait! If I just got out of bed...THE GHOSTS GOT IN MY HOUSE! Where are my mom and dad?

I ran down the stairs terrified. Once downstairs, it was quiet and dark, which is unusual for my family. Then someone appeared through the darkness of the house. It got closer and I started backing up into the kitchen counter. Then with a closer look, I saw it was my mom. She hugged me seeming really happy with tears in her eyes.

"Danny! You're okay!" my mom exclaimed and then she turned on the lights.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I asked. Sadness went over my mom's face. Where's dad? I thought to myself.

Then, as if my mom read my mind, she sobbed,"Your dad was...," tears filled my mom's eyes as she tried to say what I thought she was going to say, "he...was...," then she just stopped. She then fell to the ground crying. Immediately I knew that dad was captured by the ghosts. This was going to far, you can hurt me, but you can't ever hurt my family. Taking my sister was crossing the line. This threw them off the cliff.

"It is going to be ok mom," I said trying my best to comfort her. I then got up and ran to my room and slammed the door in anger, sadness, and mostly anger. My mom stayed downstairs. I picked up my phone and I went into our group chat; knowing that I was going to need help for this one.

Me: Guys, my dad has been taken and my mom is crying her head off. We hav got 2 stop this right now. Go into your basement or away from your parents. We are doing this together.

In seconds both of my friends text me back.

Tuck: YOUR DAD WAS TAKEN! Dude, I am so sorry. I will go in my basement, but why?

Sam: I am so sorry. I will be in my bedroom; they don't like my room so I doubt my parents will follow me.

Me: Thx guys. Anyways, great I will phase in and pick you guys up.

Tuck: Oh kk.

Sam: I will be waiting.

I then turned my phone off and went ghost. I then flew out the window. I turned invisible so no more things will come after me. I looked around the streets, they were quiet and dark. All the stores closed and no one in sight. I saw a ripple in the sky or something and I stayed still. If that was the thing that knocked me out last time it will not live to see tomorrow, if Amity Park still exists.

After waiting for it to show itself, it didn't and I ignored it and flew off taking caution. I then saw Sam's house and flew down phasing through into her basement.

"Sam...," I said quietly while still invisible.

"Danny?" she whispered. I then turned visible.

"Danny your okay!" she said then she ran up and hugged me. She then let go and her cheeks turned a bright pink. I don't know if mine did the same but they felt hot.

"Okay, hold my hand, we still have to get Tuck," I said as I turned her invisible as well.

On our flight to Tuckers, an ectoblast hit my back. The pain was more unbearable then usual. I shook it off and turned around, staying invisible. Sam was about to scream, but I covered her mouth in time. It was the green things...I tried getting a better look. They looked familiar. When I got closer they came after me and I shot them down and flew to Tucker's house. I then realized I was still clenching Sam's mouth shut. I then removed my hand.

"Sorry," I whispered. She nodded an 'it's fine' and we finally got to Tuck's.

I flew invisible to his basement.

"Hey Tuck." Sam and I said in unison still invisible.

"Hey guys. Let's get going." Tuck said as Sam grabbed him and we flew out.

I then saw a ripple once more in the sky. If it were those green things again I am killing ALL of them and not backing off. I stood still, the ripple became visible and it was not green things...it was more shocking than that.

"Oh crud" I said with my mouth dropping open.


What did you think? Did you like it? Sorry I left you at a cliffhanger. I know I usually don't ask you guys questions, but I know who the "thing" Danny saw, but what do YOU think he saw? If someone gets it right, CONGRATS! I don't want to mention who did because that will be spoiling the chapters after that. Please review!
