Well people, Chapter 7 is here, here's the deal though. You know that Chapter 6 was the longest chapter thus far. Chapter 7 is even longer. It is 19 pages long. So, I've divided it into 2 parts! Yay! My fingers can get a break! Lucky me. I'll try and get these two out at about the same time, I promise! Oh and if you're wondering, Chapter 6 was 9 pages. Not 19, 9 and I've divided it up into 9 and 10 and it all works out so, yay!

-Danny-

I grabbed the blanket I was supposed to bring and wrote a not for my family. After I had taped it to my door, I crept out of the house. Once safe on the front steps, I relaxed, but not for long.

"Hey Danny. Long time no see!" "Danni! You scared me!" "Did I? Hey, where ya going so early?" "Somewhere with my neighbor." "Oh! Is this neighbor a girl?" "I don't have time for this." I pushed her aside and walked across the street. "So it is a she! Is she's your girlfriend? Is it a date? Can I come?" "Yes, yes, and no, but you can meet her I guess." "Yay!" I sat on Camryn's front step. "Aren't you gonna knock?" "She already knows we're here." "How!" "She just knows." "I only know one...two ghosts that have that power. Are humans able to do that too?" "No." "Is she a ghost then?" "Danny! and Danni? I wasn't expecting to see you here! I missed you!" Camryn said. "You know Danni, Camryn?" "We met once. She helped me save Averfield once from Vlad." "Wow. Battled your dad twice then?" "Yup. And got the stabilizing chemical for me to actually live! Danny, I'm not a clone anymore, I real!" "Are you serious?" Camryn nodded. "Yeah. I was the one that gave it to her." "Whoa." "Danni, you wanna go with us on our picnic?" "Sure!" "Good thing I packed extra food, huh Danny?" "I guess." "Come on. Stop moping, let's go." She grabbed one of Danny's hands and I grabbed the other.

-Why did we have to bring her?- -Because she's a really good friend of mine and what was I supposed to do?- -Left her there.- -Oh yeah, 'Danni, we have to go now. Sorry you can't come. Bye.' Yeah that'd go over really well.- -Oh fine- -There's something in it for you, if you're nice.- -Okay.- "So Danni, what have you been up to? I asked. "Not much. A little ghost hunting here, a little hunting there. You?" "Well, I just moved here a few weeks ago." Camryn said. "Why'd you move?" "Well, after Vlad attacked the town, everyone thought I had done it. so, I went into hiding and told my parents that we needed to move. So we moved here. My parents even transferred jobs." "You never told me that." "I never told anyone that." "So after he knew I'd never be his son, he moved onto a new target?" "Yeah, I guess."

-Camryn-

I knew very well that wasn't why he attacked Averfield. So did Danni. Good thing she knew it was a secret. "Hey Danni, why don't you choose where we sit?" "Okay." She looked around. "Ummm, there!" She pointed to a place next to a cluster of trees. "Okay. Are you fine with that Danny?" "Yeah." He shrugged. "Well come on then." Danni ran ahead. Our fingers intertwined, we followed Danni and unfolded the blanket in her spot.

After we had had our fill, "So Danni, what're you gonna do after we're at school?" Danny asked Danni. "I dunno. You guys know a place I could hang out until you get out?" "Yeah, my house." I said. "No one gets home until after school gets our. Samson's the first home. And he'd love to see you again." "Okay." I looked at my watch. "Danny! We're late!" "Really" "Yes!" I stood up and packed the dishes away. Danny and Danni got up and helped me fold the blanket up and put it in the basket. "Danni, could you take this back to my house? You can stay in my room, please don't get into anything or eat all the food. My room's on the top floor and we really have to go! Bye!" I yelled running off, dragging Danny with me. "Do we really have to go to school? The sun's not even fully awake yet!" Danny complained. "Yes. Tell you the truth, it's not even 7 yet." "That was mean." "Yeah, well, we have a lot to talk about." "We do?"

We sat under a tree and I went over what I was going to say in my mind, took a deep breath, and dove right in. "Okay, first Danni and I are kinda sisters." "What? How?" "I was in the lab the day she was created, she was in the lab the day Firekitten was created. So, in a sense, she's my older sister." "Whoa. English?" "Danni was cloned from you to destroy you, then Vlad created me, well, Firekitten, for support." I waited for a minute for his reaction. When I got none, I continued. "I refused to harm you in any way and ran home to my mom and dad." "What about..." "Firefox was created years before Firekitten to stall so that you wouldn't get suspicious. He refused to help Vlad also."

He slowly spoke, "That's crazy." "I know it is, but you have to trust me." "You know, it's weird. My head says you're crazy, but my heart says to trust you. So, I'm going to save myself from doing the logical thing, like always, and trust you." "Oh thank you!" I hugged him and tackled him to the ground. "Hey! Where's m reward for being nice?" "Later, now, we have to get to class." "Aww! Do we have too! I don't wanna face the school." "What're you gonna do? Go hang out the Danni, hoping a ghost will appear to give you something to do?" "Yes! and watch TV." "Okay, and when the school calls home and asks where you are?" "Uhh..." "You have to face them sometime. Now come on!" I grabbed his hand and led him inside. People didn't seem to notice us at first when we entered the building.

-Watch! We'll have to transfer!- -Just smile, look confident, and keep walking.- -But...- -Remember, people are people, they're- -gonna think what they wanna think. I know.- -You want something to make it easier?- -If it'll help.- -Imagine them as the Box Ghost.- -How's that gonna help?- -You aren't scared of the Box Ghost, are you?- -No. I guess that could work.- -Can you be by yourself first period?- -I hope so.- -If you can't, just talk to Danni, she'd be glad to run with you.- -What! Danni- -I have to go. Bye.- I walked into my classroom and waved. This could be harder than I thought.

The day went by as if nothing had changed. Everyone treated me as though they were giving me a chance to reinstate myself with the 'cool' (it's kewl) crowd. They finally gave up around noon when I reinstated myself with my boyfriend, and I still don't think they're satisfied. I sighed. "Hey Danny?" "Hum?" He looked up from his sandwich. "You wanna bet Danni joins us for lunch?" Tucker sat down. "Hey guys." I looked at Danny for a second and our eyes locked. Together we said, "Three, two, one."

"Hi!" Danni's head appeared on the table. Tucker screamed and fell backwards off the bench and onto the ground, arms flailing. Danny stood and glanced over the table. "You okay Tuck?" "Yeah, just peachy." "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you." I rolled my eyes. "Danni, get out of the table, someone'll see you." "Oh sorry." She walked out of the table and crawled underneath for a minute, then came back up as human Danni, "You got bored?" She nodded, and Tucker for back up finally. "Geez, you have to scare me." His eyes started to shift nervously and he started to talk fast, "Because you're a ghost! Hurry Camryn, run away for the safety of the school!" "Okay, Tucker, stop. Fist, the school is never safe, therefore, I will never feel safe in it. Second, I'm not scared of ghosts." "Really? Why not?" "The same reason you aren't." "You know the secret?" "Not just that one. I have my own." "You're Firekitten?" He started to laugh. "Yeah right!" I sighed and pointed my finger at him, shooting a beam of red light. He flew across the lawn and crashed into the wall, which attracted attention. I looked around and said, "He ate the beans." Everyone returned to their meal. "Wow. That's one strong energy beam." Danni said. "It comes in handy." "For what?" "Warding off baddies and unwanted boys." She giggled. "I forgot how much I missed you, Cami." She hugged me.

I gave Danny a glare and he knew not to call me that, Tucker on the other hand, laughed and started mocking me. I whispered, "You'd think he'd learn." and shot another energy beam. "Ha! You missed!" A different energy beam hit him. This time green. "What was that for!" "Tucker!" Danny sighed. "Quit complaining, you brought it on yourself." "Come on Danni. Let's let the boys duke it out." "Okay." I took her hand and walked away and sat under a tree. Paulina started walking over. "Uh-oh, brace yourself Danni, this could get ugly."

Hi Camryn! Who's your little friend?" "This is Danielle, but you can call her Danni for short." "Oh." She sat down. "I just thought I'd tell you that the popular kids have talked it over and we decided not to shun you and your boyfriend and put you back at the top of the food chain again, even though he is at the lower part of the social ladder. "Uh, thanks?" "No problem. I-" "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD BETRAY ME LIKE THIS!" The sound of a tray clanking on the ground was heard. I rolled my eyes. "I knew something like this was gonna happen." I stood. "Excuse me a second." I started to walk toward the two boys. I saw Sam coming from the other side. She gave me a glare, so I glared right back and thought, "What's her deal" "Tucker, just calm down. Don't make me hurt you." I was close enough to hear Danny protest. "You couldn't hurt a fly!" A crowd started to form around me. I couldn't use my ghost powers and neither could Danny, but Danni could. But would I be willing to risk her for this fight? "No. I couldn't do that." I shook my head. "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"

Suddenly, I had an idea. -Don't punch him.- I told Danny. -No problem.- his frightened voice said. "Tucker! Danny! Stop! I can't stand to see my two friends fight over a stupid petty argument!" I pretended to sound frightened. "I'm sorry Camryn, but this has to be done!" Tucker started to throw a punch. At the last second, I stepped in the middle of the two boys...

-Danny-

Camryn stepped in between Tucker and myself. -He won't hurt you.- I heard her say, and then Tucker's fist made contact with her forehead. It all happened so fast. "TUCKER!" I heard Sam shrilly yell. My knees buckled and I fell next to Camryn. She was unconscious. I set her head on my lap and felt for a pulse. It was there. That made me feel a lot better. I felt someone's presence behind me. It was Danni and Paulina. I looked at Tucker. He had a horrified look on his face and Sam was holding him back. "Danny, I..." He voice faded out. "Is she okay?" Paulina asked. "Knocked out. Get the nurse." "Okay." She ran off. "Danni." "Yeah?" "Try and search her mind for her." "Okay." She knelt beside me and put her hand on Camryn's chest, right below the collar bone. "Let me through!" The nurse yelled. She burst though the crowd with Lancer in tow. "What happened here?" He demanded. "Is she okay?" Someone yelled. -Danny. I can't find her.- I sighed. "Camryn." Her vital signs are normal, but she has a huge bruise on her temple. She's been punched, quite hard by the size of the bruise. -Samson?- -What Fenton?- -You need to get to the courtyard quickly.- -Why? What happened.- -Camryn's unconscious. You need to carry her to the infirmary.- -Be there in a second.-

"Move! I heard his voice. Jazz was behind him. He broke though the crowd and fell beside his sister. "Is she okay?" He demanded. "For the most part." I replied. "She's just out cold." He looked up and saw Danni. "Danni? When'd you get here?" "This morning." "Oh. Who did this Fenton?" I looked around for Tucker. He was long gone. "Tucker Foley." I ratted him out. "Mr. Derva. Could you please carry her to my office?" "Sure." He lifted her gingerly. "Paulina, Fenton, Manson, and the little girl. My classroom, now." Demanded Lancer. I walked next to Danni and the four of us walked grimly toward the school.

"Now." Lancer sat on his chair. "I would like to know what happened. Who wants to start?" "I will." Paulina said. "I saw Camryn and Danni, the little girl, walk and sit under a tree. So I went over and talked with then a minute. Tucker yelled and a tray smashed. Camryn got up and walked over to stop the fight." "That's all?" "From my point-of-view." "Okay. Fenton?" I sat there, my mouth closed. "Fine, Manson?" "All I saw was Tucker hit Camryn. I yelled at him and held him back so he wouldn't hit Danny and then he left." "Okay. Excuse me a second." He got on his phone to the secretary and told her to try and find Tucker. "Now, little girl?" "Danni, please sir." "Fine. Miss Danni?" "Well, Tucker started making fun of my nickname for Camryn and we left to sit under a tree. Which is where Paulina's story kicked in." "Okay. That leaves you Fenton." I took a deep breath. "Camryn left the table and Tucker and I started talking. I had told him not to mock her nickname and he wondered why I was defending her. I told him it was because she was my girlfriend and he freaked and yelled at me. A tray was thrown at me, which is about the time she got up. I told him I wasn't going to hurt him unless it was absolutely necessary. He got mad and Camryn told him to stop." My eyes started to tear up. "He wouldn't and threw a punch. Camryn got between us and tried to stop him. He didn't realize he hit her until it was too late." The tears were pouring out now. "She was unconscious because he had hit her temple and now I feel so guilty." Danni gave me a hug and hopped up on my lap. I hugged her back as she comforted me. "Anything anyone wants to add?" We remained silent. "Okay. Fenton and Danni, go to the nurse. You other two, get to class." I wiped my eyes and got up. Danni let me silently to the nurse's office.

Samson was in a chair and I sat next to him. "How is she?" I whispered after Danni had sat in my lap. "She's going to the hospital. They can't keep her here and our parents are out of town all week on business. The ambulance should be here soon." "Can I come?" "Why?" "I feel guilty. I could have told her no, could've pulled her way, but I didn't." "It wasn't you're fault. It's Tucker's for over-reacting." "She told you?" "Danni, yeah." "Oh. How many of those mind things do you guys have?" "We were given three. So we gave one to Danni because it's always good to keep in touch with her. I kept one and I assume Cam gave you her's." I nodded. "Danni, you wanna come too?" She nodded. "Okay." He stood. "The ambulance is here."
