Chapter 7- Meeting Someone New
Later on the same day after Danny's victory, just like Vlad had ordered Sergeant Thompson and some soldiers hammered a wooden post in the ground and then tied Danny to it by his wrists with anti-ghost rope. The rope was so tight that he couldn't break free of it. The rope was long enough for Danny to walk around freely a little but not much. He glared at the soldiers as they laughed at his misfortune and then left him alone. It was starting to get really hot outside, Danny kept on trying to break free of the rope but did not prevail. The ghosts from the stables watched him and they felt bad seeing Danny like that, eventually Danny gave up and then leaned against the post, he then used his bound hands to wipe the sweat that was trickling down his forehead.
Later that night while everyone was asleep and the temperature lowered down a bit, Danny looked up to the sky and looked at the stars, he wondered if his parents were doing okay back in Amity Park and wondered if they were missing him as much as he missed them. His heart ached at the thought of his home and some tears of sadness fell down his face as he felt both sad, hurt and useless.
The next day Danny was sitting on the ground, he felt his throat getting dry by the lack of water, he swallowed whatever moisture was in his mouth just keep his throat moist. He then looked over and saw Vlad drinking some water out of a water bottle, Danny licked his lips as he watched him drink it but then stopped as he then saw Vlad looking at him.
"We got a intruder" A soldier called out.
Vlad and Danny looked and watched as the soldiers dragged in a boy with a red hat, glasses, yellow shirt and green cargo pants with boots, they took the boy to Vlad and made him kneel before him.
"Ah what do we have here?" Vlad asked.
Danny listened in on the conservation as the soldier explained,"We caught this boy spying on our secret weapons"
Vlad smirked and then ordered, "Tie him next to the fence close to the ghost boy and no food or water"
They took him next to the fence close to Danny, and then the boy yelped as they made him sit down and then tied his hands behind the fence, the soldiers then laughed at the boy and then walked off.
Danny kept looking at the boy and then watched as the boy turned his head at him and said "Hey there. I'm Tucker"
Danny raised an eyebrow he wasn't in the mood to talk to him, so he stuck his tongue out at him, Tucker did the same and stuck his tongue back at Danny.
Danny saw but chose to ignore him. He turned around and said, "Copycat"
Tucker laughed a little and then just sat still. The next day in the early morning, Danny was bored and just kept playing with the rope that was tied to his wrists, he then stopped when he heard the sound of a coyote howling, he turned to see it was Tucker making that noise and then he made an owl sound which was then responded by another coyote noise. look stop when he heard some coyotes howling. Suddenly a pocket knife was thrown in the air and landed in front of Tucker, Tucker smiled but then turned to Danny hoping he wouldn't say anything but Danny merely turned his head and pretended that he didn't see anything.
Tucker tried to reach for the knife with his feet but then stopped for a second when he heard the army trumpet signalling the soldiers were going to wake up, Tucker then quickly managed to grab the knife with his feet and then flip it behind his back and hid the knife in his hand. He then winked at Danny as the soldiers were lining up, Danny eyes then widened when he realised what Tucker was planning and nodded.
They both looked over and watched Vlad walking back and forth in front of the soldiers while listening to the soldiers Sergeant Thompson giving a report.
"The ghost" Vlad asked.
"Sir?" Thompson responded.
"How long has the ghost boy been tied to the post?" Vlad asked.
"Three days sir" Thompson said.
"Good. Get him ready to face me" Vlad smirked as though he knew he was going to defeat Danny.
