Here's another chapter. I only uploaded the last one yesterday! The only bad news is that it's short. It should be interesting though. Please continue reviewing and giving me suggestions. I really appreciate them, and they're really helpful.
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom (sorry, I'm feeling uncreative with this saying today).
Previously:
Danny trembled beneath her grasp, but didn't reply. He was too shocked by her sudden change in circumstances. Before, he had convinced himself that none of Valerie's troubles were caused by him, and that she was only mad because he was present when her life was destroyed. But now, he wasn't so sure. He may not have caused it directly, but if it weren't for him, none of this would have happened. Danny couldn't even admit it yet, but he finally recognized that Valerie's suffering was partially his fault.
Valerie chuckled darkly at his surprise and naïve hope. "I shouldn't be too mad at you now, because you deserve everything that's coming to you later. I will make you pay in ways you couldn't even imagine in your darkest nightmares. At the end, you will be truly sorry for everything that you've done…that is of course, if you're still living."
One Call
A Danny Phantom Fic
"Ugghh!" Sam sighed as she hung up the phone after her conversation with Vlad.
Tucker turned toward her, and tilted his head, silently asking what was bothering her. "It's just, Vlad is so…I don't even know. He's just creepy. That's it! He's sly and evil and creepy. I mean, he just has to twist his rescue attempt into a sick plan to gain Danny's trust so his 'future son,'" Sam said the disturbing phrase while inserting air quotes, "will someday join him."
"That's Vlad for you," Tucker replied. "Nothing he does is ever out of concern or the goodness of his heart. I'm not even sure that he has one." Tucker paused to type his idea into his PDA and continued, "At least he said yes. I mean, theoretically, things could be much, much worse."
"Don't say that!" Sam said hastily in a whisper, while trying to keep Tucker from saying anything more. "Every time you say that 'things could be worse,' you jinx us, and things do get worse."
Tucker pondered her remark. "You know, I've kept track of every time that has happened, and there is no significant pattern or amount of occurrences to suggest that the phenomena is anything but a coincidence. It's all probability, and I've done the math—trust me."
"Well, whether it's a coincidence or not, now is not the time for our already bad situation to get worse because one of your clever remarks."
Right on cue, a girl in the classroom screamed and fell away from one of the classroom windows. She was trembling on the floor as she pointed outside. People gathered and tried to spot what she was so terrified about. People crowded around the window and suddenly froze in fear and shock. Sam and Tucker pushed their way to the front of the crowd to see what was going on. When they spotted it, Sam gasped and Tucker swore under his breath.
Finally someone said, "Well this isn't good."
Again, sorry that was so short, but I figure short, dramatic segments that I am able to update ofter are better than dragging out long ones that I can only update once in a while. Also, my thoughts are more cohesive thsi way. And I bet you can't wait to see what everyone's staring at. The truth is though, I have no idea! And sorry about the major cliffhanger, but I have no idea where this story is going so it just comes out in small bursts. Please review and help me brainstorm. And if anyone has a good idea for what terrifying thing/person/ghost/whatever is outside the window, let me know and I might write about it! Thanks for reading. Until next time.
