Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story except the plot.
Danny rubbed the small burn mark on his neck from the ecto ropes and cringed. It still burned. "My lord?" Skulker said as he stuck his head in through the doorway, "I picked up the item that you told me to. I don't see how this will help our
cause." Danny held up his hand, silencing him, "That is none of your business Skulker. Now bring me the body of Paullina. I will need it for the plan to work." Skulker then tossed him the item of which he had been speaking of. Danny's hand
wrapped around the bouquet of midnight black roses and smiled. "Perfect." He whispered at a volume that only he could here. As Skulker left, Fright Night ran into the room. "My lord! Your loyal spy is here and she reports that the humans
plan to attack at midnight tonight!" Danny put the bouquet down and crossed the room to stand in front of Fright Knight, "Do you really think they would have a chance against us?" He said in a smug tone. "But, my lord, they are bringing a
girl as their greatest weapon!" Danny laughed a huge hearty laugh, "And why do I care she won't even come close to my power!" Danny turned around and headed towards his throne as Fright Knight finished his statement, "But my lord
they bring Sam Mansion!" Danny spun around and for a half second, the look of shock danced across his face, then amusement, then anger, then somewhere in between amusement and anger. Danny grabbed Fright Knight by the throat
and lifted him off the ground. "What did you say?!" Danny half snarled. "T-T-They bring the girl Sam Mansion." Fright Knight whispered out of fear. Then the look of amusement and the spark of an idea danced across Danny's face. "Then let
them bring her. Prepare the troops, we kill at midnight." Then he dropped Fright Knight and walked out of the room, leaving Fright Knight to gasp for air (yes even ghosts need oxygen, just go with it.)

Sam shook the shackles that bound her arms. They jingled back at her as if laughing because she couldn't escape. Tucker then walked into the room and stood in front of the cell door. "God, I can't believe you would do that! Help the
enemy! What were you thinking!" He looked down at her and met her gaze. "He is your enemy. Not mine." Sam responded in a flat tone. "You still don't get it do you. He tried to kill you! You remember that accident right? That eighteen
wheeler in the air came crashing down onto your family's car. You were the only one they could pry out of the wreck. He killed your family and you still love him!" Sam looked down as tears welled up and began to slowly crash to the floor.
Tucker grabbed the keys to Sam's cell and slowly opened the door. "It's okay though. I'm here now. I'm all you need now." He bent down to hug her and she turned away. Infuriated, he grabbed her shoulder and yelled at her, "You stupid
girl! You have me now! I love you!" She stared at him amazement. He took the chance and crashed his lips onto hers. She kicked him where the sun doesn't shine and he released her out of pain. "Tucker, what are you doing?" Tucker
turned, half kneeling over himself. "Just preparing her for the battle field." He turned to tell Maddie Fenton. "What?" Sam said, but Tucker ignored her. He exited the cell and turned the lock, once again caging her in. Mrs. Fenton slowly left
the room, apparently dropping a small white object on the floor but out of Tucker's line of vision. He then turned to leave. Once Tucker got to the door, He looked over his shoulder and whispered menacingly, " I will make you love me." Then
paused for a second and added, "I hope you like seeing Danny die." Then he laughed as he left, leaving Sam wide eyed and shocked. Snapping back into reality, she walked over to the cell wall and reached with her foot (her hands are
chained together, so they wouldn't be able to fit through the bars) for the white object Mrs. Fenton had dropped. She then opened the small note and read:
Dear Sam,
I want to help you and Danny. I think Tucker is no longer mentally stable enough to do this, so when I say run, unlock yourself and run. Don't look back either. Oh, and can you give my baby boy a kiss for me. God I miss him.

Below the small letter sat a key, taped to the note with three pieces of tape. "Thank you." Sam whispered as she took the key and hid it in her shirt. "Thank you."
