*smiles* Told ya I would hurry. Anyways, sorry about that little drop off. I was very busy at the time and barely had time to write what I did. I'm still busy, but I love my readers (as a star would a fan kind of way) and I like to make them happy with updates. At the time, my head is swimming with season four episode ideas. *smile widens* Also: I AM SO MAD THAT JUSTIN BARFER BEAT OUT TAYLOR SWIFT! TAYLOR SWIFT IS WAY BETTER THAN HIM! (sorry, but I am not sorry to you JB fans out there). I mean, think about this: Taylor Swift CD's that are several months old are still like, 13 dollars, while JB's newest CD's are like, 8 dollars. Proof=TS is soooooo much better than JB. Anyways, my anger is gone, so please enjoy this!


"Danny…" the three teens said at the same time as they gazed at the shaking boy. They were all silent for a moment, just glad that they found him.

"Tucker, do you think you can break us in?" Jazz finally asked, breaking the tense silence.

"Huh? Oh, yeah." Tucker replied, snapping back to reality. He lifted his PDA up to a machine that was obviously password protected and hacked into the system. "Ugh! Seriously?" Tucker exclaimed, looking away from the password.

"What? What's the password?" Sam asked curiously.

"Daniel Masters! That dude is messed up!" Tucker replied, disgust in his voice. Jazz forced a gag down while Sam literally gagged as she typed in the password.

The moment she typed it in the door opened, sounding as if it was air locked as it sounded like air came rushing out. At the sudden noise, Danny's body stopped shaking and tensed, although he didn't look up.

"Go away." Danny muttered, just loud enough for them to hear him. When the three teens just stood there and Danny could tell that 'Vlad'-as that is who he thinks it is-wasn't leaving, green energy formed in his hands.

"I said, go. Away!" Danny exclaimed, snapping his head up and jumping up to his feet at the same time. His face was tearstained and there was a hurt expression mixed with hate in his eyes. But when his eyes caught who was really at the door, his hateful look softened and the energy died in his hands. "S-Sam? Tucker? Jazz? What are you guys doing here?" he asked shakily. He wanted them here, but in another way, he didn't. They could get hurt…

"We're here to save you Danny." Sam said, walking into the large glowing green room, Jazz and Tucker following her.

"N-no. You guys have to get out of here. It's not safe for you to be here!" Danny replied, shaking his head worriedly while backing away. He stopped when Sam reached him and touched his shoulder. His icy blue gaze met her amethyst one. "H-how did you guys find out where I was? Vlad said he erased everybody's memories."

"He obviously did. But thank Jazz for keeping a diary and Tucker making to-do lists." Sam replied, taking his hand. "Now let's go." She started pulling him towards the door, but Danny hesitated.

"Danny, why aren't you coming? Don't you want to get out of here?" Jazz asked in a worried tone.

"Of course I want to leave. But I can't. Vlad's here and I'm surprised you haven't already gotten caught! You have to get out of here! Without me." Danny replied shakily, pulling his hand out of Sam's grasp. But Sam just yanked it back while Tucker pushed him from behind and Jazz grabbed the shoulder of the hand that had the security bracelet on his wrist. But none of them seemed to notice it, even with it now blinking red for whatever reason.

"Guys, seriously, if Vlad finds out you're-" Danny started to protest, although he really wanted to go.

"Danny, Vlad isn't here. He left to City Hall for business." Tucker interrupted Danny, who at that moment stopped struggling. But when he saw that they were approaching the end of his 'room' and the glowing green surrounding, he started struggling again. This time though, it was out of not wanting to be shocked.

Sam, Jazz, and Tucker continued to pull Danny out of the room, wondering why Danny was giving such a struggle. Jazz and Sam, who were in front of the two male teens, stepped out the door. But when Danny was finally pulled out of their grasp, they turned away with their eyes wide in surprise.

Danny's whole body was out of the room except his right hand, which they now noticed the blinking bracelet. And focusing more on Danny, they noticed that he was shaking and biting down his lip to keep from screaming.

"Danny, what's wrong? Why can't you leave? And what's that on your wrist?" Sam asked, grabbing onto Danny's shoulders.

Danny pulled away and tried to get back into the room, but it seemed as if when he got taken out by somebody else, he had to be taken back in by that somebody else.

"Push me back in! Now!" Danny moaned in pain.

"Danny, we can't! We have to get you o-" Jazz protested, but was cut off when Danny finally let out a scream of pain as the electrical currents running through his body were too much to bare. Jazz and Sam shared a worried look before pushing Danny back in the room. When he was back in the room and away from the wall, he fell on his hands and knees and was breathing heavily. Sam, Tucker, and Jazz rushed to his side, trying to comfort him.

"Danny, what's wrong?" Tucker asked. Danny took a few more deep breaths before answering.

"Nothing. You guys have to go. Now." Danny replied, pain in his voice.

"We're not leaving until you tell us what's wrong." Jazz lied, for they were also not leaving until Danny agreed to break out.

Danny sighed. "I can't leave as long as either the security system is up, or as long as I'm wearing this." Danny replied, holding up his right wrist to show them the contraption. "And whenever I even touch those walls, I get electrical currents running through my body. Now can you just leave? I don't want you guys to get caught. I don't want Vlad to hurt you…" Danny's firm voice turned into that of worry and concern for his friends and sister.

Sam looked at Tucker with a serious look. "Do you think you could take down the security system?"

Tucker nodded. "I can try. Let me go do that." He got up and ran over to the door where the controls were on the other side in the hallway.

Sam turned back to Danny and grabbed his chin, making him look up at her. "We're gonna get you out of here, and nobody is going to get hurt. All right?" she assured Danny.

Danny, knowing he couldn't object any more, for he knew he couldn't win-Sam just always had to have her way. And he loved that about her-nodded his head.

Sam, taking this as him finally agreeing, let go of him and with the help of Jazz, helped Danny to his feet. Just then, Tucker came running towards him.

"Tucker, why aren't you getting the security down?" Jazz asked, a bit worried that he couldn't do it.

Tucker bit down on his lip as he approached Danny. He glanced down at his PDA at some info he was reading from the security system and back up at Danny.

"Dude, please forgive me for this." Tucker said apologetically.

"Forgive you for w-OW! What was that for?" Danny exclaimed, bringing a hand to his throbbing head where Tucker had just yanked out a fistful of his raven black hair.

"The security system. Vlad seriously is twisted in the mind." Tucker replied before running back to the door. The three teens that were still left in the room shared confused looks before the green glow around the room disappeared.

"Tucker, you did it!" Sam exclaimed.

Tucker's face appeared around the corner of the door, his face beaming. "Yep. And it's thanks to good ole technology!" Tucker said happily, kissing his PDA. Sam, Danny, and Jazz rolled their eyes before Sam and Jazz each took one of Danny's wrists and started pulling him out of the room.

Danny tensed and closed his eyes as he came right up to door. But after a few moments he peeked his eyes open and saw he was through the door, completely unharmed. He blinked in surprise as he realized he was still being dragged down the hall. He started falling in step with the three other teens, although he had a terrible feeling.

Feeling that Danny was no longer pulling back and was walking on his own, Sam and Jazz let go of him, knowing he was following. But then, hearing Danny's footsteps stop abruptly, they turned around to see Danny standing still. It looked as if he had stopped right in mid-step-literally! Not to mention his whole body was glowing green.

"Danny, what are you waiting for?" Jazz exclaimed. But then, she saw Danny's fearful gaze averted right above them and slightly behind them.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here…" said a voice. The three teens spun around and gasped in surprise at who was right behind them.

Vlad.
