Konbanwa, my fellow readers! Tonights introduction will be an apology more than anything else. For those of you who found chapter 8 cruel, I extend my condolences. Think how hard it was for me to write Danny's suicide! LOL. It has scarred me for life! ...Nah, not really, lol. Just wait and see, I won't disappoint you guys.
Danny Phantom:
Sinners, Saints, and Sadists
Chapter – 9, SOF
(Bang! Bang! Bang!) "Danny, open up! It's Sam and Tuck!" A few minutes passed by and no one answered.
"Maybe he fell asleep?" Tucker volunteered. Sam wasn't buying it.
"Fall asleep? After the episode in the cafeteria? I doubt that..." She replied, knocking much harder.
"Well, he could've lied about going home and went to the park instead?"
"Not alone." She said, using her palm now instead of her knuckles. "He would have waited for one or both of us to go with him. Something just doesn't seem right."
"Sam, c'mon! Don't jump to conclusions just yet. There are a number of things he could be doing right now that might prevent him from hearing us." Sam stopped knocking.
"Maybe you're right, but still..." She bent over and grabbed the spare key from beneath the welcome mat. "It doesn't hurt to make sure." she unlocked the door.
"Here we go..." Tucker sighed, following her inside.
"Danny? Are you home?" She shouted, placing the tiny silver key on a small table. "Well his book bag is here..." She said quizzically, pointing to a spot near the coat rack where it sat.
"You wanna tell me why why we're breaking and entering, again?" Tucker inquired.
"This isn't breaking and entering! I used the key, didn't I?" she defended.
"Yeah, but it wasn't our key to use!" He whined.
"God, Tucker! Is it impossible for you to shut up for just one second? Stop complaining and just help me look for Danny!" Tucker crossed his arms in agitation.
"Fine. I'll go look in the kitchen, but I still don't like this." He grumbled before storming off. Sam, brushing off his retort, headed upstairs towards Danny's room.
"Danny? Danny?" She called softly, knocking on his door. A slight twist of the knob granted her entry. "Hello?" No one answered and nothing stirred in the darkness that engulfed the room. Puzzled, she closed the door and headed back down the hallway. "Thats weird..." Sam mumbled. "Where else would he- -?" She began but stopped when she noticed a flickering light coming from the bathroom. Without a moments hesitation, Sam ran down the hall and pushed the door open without the slightest thought to knock.
It could have easily been called the scream heard 'round the world. The shrill that shattered the decibel system. A wail that carried enough distress to make ones hair stand on end and blood grow cold. Sam, however, didn't know if she would ever be able to stop. The bathroom counter and sink both were littered with shattered glass, and in the back of the room, floating in water the color of crimson, was no one other than Danny.
"Sam? Sam, whats wrong!" Tucker shouted from the hallway, rushing to find her. Spotting her still form blocking the bathroom doorway, he ran to her side. "Sam!" He beckoned, reaching for her shoulder, but stopping mid touch. His eyes had drifted into the room and met the same traumatizing scene as hers. "Da... Dan... Dan...ny?" In a flash, Sam snapped out of her stupor and ran to the side of the tub.
"No, no no! Not like this! NOT LIKE THIS, DANNY!" She sobbed, pulling his pale, lifeless form from the warm, sticky water and onto her lap. He wasn't breathing. "Dammit, Danny! C'mon, don't do this!" She began to slap his cheeks, hoping he would snap back to consciousness. There was no response beyond his face turning pink from her assault.
"Oh my god... Oh my god..." Tucker recited like a prayer, pacing back and forth. Sam, noticing his useless panicking, became irritated.
"God Dammit, Tucker! Don't just fucking stand there! Go call an ambulance, dammit!" She roared, pointing towards the stairs. He obeyed without question and soon she could hear him frantically trying to explain the situation to the operator on the phone.
Sorry for leaving you all with another cliffhanger! I hope you like this chapter, I wrote it so fast I barely know what goes on in it, lol. R&R everyone :D
