Happy Dannyversary! Yes, On April 3rd, 2004, Danny Phantom came on the air. And just to let you know, I wrote this in like, under an hour because I completely forgot! And what kind of Phantom Phanatic would I be if I didn't update on this very special day? But honestly, for once, as much as I hate to admit it, I am winging this. Yes, I EmberMclain13 am winging it. I was really busy and actually had no time to even think out a plot for this chapter. All's I knew was the outcome of this chapter. That's it. Anyways, please enjoy.
"What a surprise." Vlad commented, an evil grin appearing on his face. The four teens just stood there in shock-well, Danny couldn't move even if he wanted to due to Vlad's control over his body. "And how I love surprises."
"Vlad, this isn't what it looks like!" Danny finally spoke up. The other three teens' looks zipped over to Danny.
"Oh? Is what I am seeing not a jailbreak?" Vlad asked, crossing his arms and tilting his head slightly, gazing at Danny.
"No. They might think I was really leaving, but honestly, I was just telling them that so they would leave. The moment we reached the door and they had exited I was going to put the security back up!" Danny lied fearfully.
"You're a terrible liar." Vlad commented. But then he added, "I saw the security tapes, Daniel. I'm not a fool. But you on the other hand…" Vlad chuckled slightly, shaking his head.
Sam inched towards Danny while Vlad laughed silently to himself.
"Danny, why would you do that?" Sam whispered.
"I wasn't going to. I knew you would get your way, so I really was leaving, although I should've known Vlad being gone was too good to be true." Danny replied quietly as Tucker and Jazz inched towards him as well.
"But, as much as I'm sure Daniel would like for you to stay, I'm going to ask for you to leave." Vlad requested, moving off to the side of the hallway and making a polite gesture for them to leave.
"We're not going anywhere unless Danny is coming with us, Fruit Loop." Jazz stated firmly, grabbing Danny's left shoulder. Sam and Tucker nodded and grabbed Danny too, Sam grabbing his right hand and Tucker grabbing his right shoulder.
"Hasn't anybody ever told you to keep your hands off of what is not yours, but belongs to somebody else?" Vlad asked darkly, pulling out a remote. He glanced down at it, and finding what he was looking for, pressed a small yellow button.
Danny screamed in pain, but stopped when Sam, Tucker, and Jazz had finally let go of him. And then, suddenly, the green glow that was surrounding him disappeared and he fell to the floor.
"Danny!" the three teens exclaimed at the same time. But when they touched him to try and help him up, they quickly let go when he screamed yet again in agony.
The three teens shot glares up towards Vlad.
"What did you do to him?" Tucker exclaimed.
"I did nothing. You're the one inflicting pain on him whenever you touch him." Vlad said, his grin widening. "Now then, since I know Daniel here isn't going to do anything about this," Vlad said, glancing down at the teen who was shaking in pain, "I suppose that either you three leave the easy way, or things might get complicated." Vlad said this as he let two pink ecto blasts form in his hands. "Which will it be?"
Sam, Tucker, and Jazz instantly pulled out guns from their bags.
Vlad sarcastically sighed. "I really wasn't wanting to do this…but oh well." he said mischievously throwing several ecto blasts around them, but not hitting them. The three teens shot back, only to get the weapons blasted out of their hands. Vlad grinned as he was about to really blast them when Danny suddenly sprang up and in front of them.
"You wanna hurt them? Then you'll have to go through me." Danny said shakily. Although you could tell he was scared, he had a look of determination painted on his face as he glared at Vlad.
Vlad gave a defeated sigh before lifting up the remote. "Well, if that's what you want, very well…" he said as he started to bring his finger to a button that would make him move out of the way.
But seeing this, and knowing that Vlad was only doing this to make him switch over, he started to let different plans run through his head.
I could…distract him long enough for them to get away! But they would wait for me…That wouldn't work. What if I tried to fight him off? No, he would just force me to stop….Danny thought. As much as he hated to admit it, there was only one way to make Vlad not hurt his friends and sister.
"Wait!" Danny exclaimed, catching Vlad's attention. But Vlad had been dawdling for a specific reason. He knew Danny would give in to save his loved ones. He had done it over, and over, and over again and he knew that this time would be no different.
"What?" Vlad asked in a bored tone of voice, his finger lingering over a button.
Danny gulped slightly. "I-what if-if I agreed?" Danny stuttered.
"Agreed to what, little badger?" Vlad asked innocently, putting a confused look on his face.
"I-if-I mean-if I agreed to-to…" Danny continued, not wanting at all to do this.
"To do…?" Vlad asked, raising an eyebrow and motioning for him to continue.
"If I j-joined you!" Danny burst out, tears leaking out of his eyes. Vlad's grin reappeared as he locked eyes with Daniel.
"Danny, you can't!" Sam exclaimed.
"Danny, don't do this!" Tucker added.
"No, Danny. There's gotta be another way!" Jazz tried to persuade.
But Danny and Vlad ignored the three teens' protests.
"Very well. But I want your loyalty. I will own you. You will do everything, exactly anything I say." Vlad warned.
Danny gulped, cringing at the 'I will own you' part. Oh how he didn't want to do this! And especially in front of his friends and sister!
"I know. But if it means that you won't harm them, then yes." Danny finally choked out, tears streaming down his face.
Vlad's grin only widened at this. "So you agree?" Vlad asked. But when Danny just gave him a pleading look, saying 'Please, not now! I'll do it when they leave', he pressed the matter. "I said, you agree?"
"I-I agree." Danny replied in almost a whisper, clenching his fists together and looking down, tears cascading down his cheeks.
OK, sorry for:
How short it was.
The ending I left you with.
And for making Danny agree.
Please review and leave me your musings.
