(Today is comic relief, as you all know. I hope it's a good one for you and I hope you have a Happy St. Patrick's Day tomorrow! On with the story…)

Sam's POV:

I didn't know what do, I couldn't speak, but I did know one thing: Run…Hard and Fast! I could hear him close behind me as I tried to run faster than I ever had in my life. My head was thumping, my heart was beating mercilessly against my chest, but I had to keep running.

'Come on Sam, run! Run!' I screamedin my mind.

I sensed him right behind me and I feared for my life. Suddenly he grabbed me and pulled me up into the sky. I struggle to free myself, but my efforts were useless. I tried to hit him but he grabbed my hand then turned me around to face him.

"Danny?!"

No one's POV:

"Sam, are you ok? What are you running from?"

"No, Danny! You don't understand, we have to get out of here; he's back-"

"Calm down, Sam. Who's back?"

Sam began to cry softly into Danny's shoulder, hugging him tightly as they floated in the air. Time itself seemed to stop in that moment, but it was short lived.

"Who's back Sam?"

Sam looked up from Danny's shoulder and further tightened her grip on Danny as she saw him.

"Danny…"

Danny turned slowly in mid air to face his opponent. The concerned look he had shown to Sam now changed into raw hatred and anger.

"Hello Daniel."

Danny glared at the ghost, growling and clenching his teeth. The ghost tilted his head slightly.

"Still protecting young Samantha I see…"

Danny pulled Sam closer to him protectively and growled,

"Leave her alone Dan!"

A smile appeared on Dan's face as his tone remained calm and undaunted.

"Why Daniel…"

Dan shot an ecoblast at the two, sending them flying to the ground.

"What are you going to do if I don't?!"

Danny held Sam in front of him as he hit the ground hard on his back. Sam was fine, as Danny had taken the blow. She jumped up to help him, but was shoved into wall by Dan. He smirked at her and grabbed Danny by his neck, holding him several inches above the ground. Danny struggled to free himself, but Dan was too strong.

"Dear me, Danny!" Dan said in a disappointed voice, "I thought you would have put up a better fight than this!"

Sam, meanwhile, grabbed her cell phone from her pocket and dialled Tucker's number.

"Hello-"

"TUCKER! THE PARK! DANNY'S IN DANGER! BRING VALERIE! TELL HER TO BRING AMMUNITION!"

"Sam, calm down! Who is it?"

"IT'S DAN!"

Sam heard Tucker gasp into the phone.

"Right, I'll be there as soon as I can, just hang on-"

The cell phone was snatched out of her hand by Dan and crushed in his palm, his other hand still grasping Danny whose face was slowly becoming blue.

"Tut tut Samantha!" he said while shaking his finger at her.

She could see Danny was slowly dying in the hands of his evil self. His struggling was becoming weaker and his eye's were now red due to the lack of blood flow. Sam felt a tear fall from her face as she gaped at Danny. He's was going to be die right in front her unless she did something…

Suddenly, Sam noticed a nearby rock and threw it at Dan. It hit him square in the forehead and he gasped in shock and pain, dropping Danny as he did so. Sam reached for another rock and threw it a Dan again, only this time he was ready for it and blew it up into tiny pieces with his ectoblast. Sam glanced at Danny and noticed he wasn't moving and had changed back into his human self. Distracted, she didn't notice Dan had charged up another ectoblast and fired it at her. Sam screamed in pain as it sent her flying backwards to land on the hard gravel. Dan walked up to her, his hands glowing green in anger.

"Foolish girl, sticking up for young Daniel. I suppose that was one of the things I missed about you…"

His voice had softened slightly at his last statement as he stared up at the night sky…

"But it's too late now I guess!"

He looked down at Sam as she stared up at him in horror…

"Goodbye Samantha!"

He smiled evilly at her as he motioned his hand towards her heart. The glowing increased and Sam knew she was about to die. She took one last look towards Danny, remembering the time they had wasted being angry and upset at each other over a stupid fight. Another tear fell from her face as the ectoblast was released…

(OH NO, SAM! How will she get out of it, if she gets out of it? And what about Danny? You'll just have to wait until next Friday! Please review!)
