A/N I know I just did a chapter about Sam, but I got an idea, and just HAD to put it out. R&R!


Sam hugged her knees and tried to keep warm. It had been only five days, but to her it felt like weeks. Vlad and Dan had taken her to the human world again, but had only given green, algae filled water to drink and nothing to eat. A single light was in the room, and usually Sam loved the dark, but now it felt unwelcoming and horrid.

Dan fazed through the wall with two bowls in hands. One, of course, was full of the green water (probably from a creek nearby) and the other had stale bread and a few dried, wrinkled berries. Dan dropped her so called feast at her feet.

It didn't look good or filling, but Sam hadn't eaten in days. She grabbed the bread and water, but ate slowly to make it last. It tasted awful, but at the moment Sam thought it was the greatest food she had ever eaten.

Dan turned to leave. "Foolish girl," he mumbled to himself.

Sam heard what he said and looked up. She suddenly remembered what she saw with Pariah and Aragon the other day. Over the past few days, she had thought a lot about what had happened, given that she had nothing else to do. She mostly thought about Danny, of course, but she also pieced together why Vlad would tell Dan to murder the ghosts.

"He's using you," she called when Dan almost left. He slowly turned to face her. "What did you say?" he asked.

"Vlad's using you. He only wants this for himself. You're just one of his pawns, like the other ghosts who had joined him."

Dan's face burned with anger. "You think I don't know that?" he roared, "He told me that the others were the pawns, and that he and I would rule the Ghost Zone and the world. He was foolish to think that I wouldn't see through that."

"So, why are you still working for him? Why not put a stop to this?"

Dan smiled. "It's a lot more complicated than that, silly girl, because when I'm finished with Vlad, then your precious Danny will never know what hit him, for Iwill be the one to finish him off!"

At that, Dan flew away. Sam dropped what she was eating. She knew from the start that they were probably going to try and kill Danny, but after actually hearing it, let alone thinkingabout it, she had lost her appetite all together. She had felt so alone and scared, and she didn't know what to do. A tear rolled down her cheek and dripped on the floor. Soon enough Sam was bawling, and she then cried herself to sleep.


Sam opened her eyes and stiffly sat up. She didn't know how long she was asleep, but she didn't care.

Crash!

Sam got to her feet immediately when she heard this. She couldn't really tell where it was coming from, so all she did was stand and wait.

Crash!

This time, Sam fell to the floor. The impact made her lose her balance, and there was even a hole in the wall. Sam tiptoed to the wall and peered out the hole. Dan and Vlad were circling each other, both with evil menacing looks on their faces.

"You fool! You could never accomplish this without me!" growled Vlad.

"I already did!" Dan yelled back. They collided and rolled to the ground. Rays of ectoplasm were shot, fists went flying, and both received hard blows from each other. The fight went on and on, until Sam thought it would kill them both. But Dan had one more trick up his sleeve.

Dan threw Vlad against the wall and faced him. Vlad had no time to move when Dan inhaled deeply, and let out a furious Ghostly Wail. This sent Vlad and the wall flying. Dan wasted no time. He grabbed a spear that had fallen during the fight and threw it with all of the strength he had. It flew through the air, and before Vlad could act, the spear impaled him through his chest. He screamed in pain, but his voice was drowned out by the his own blood in the back of his throat. Defeated, Vlad turned back into his human form, and to Sam's horror, red blood poured from his mouth and wound, mixing with the green ectoplasm. He was dead in seconds, and in no time Dan flew above, victorious. He glanced over and saw Sam looking through her little hole. Instantly he fazed through and grabbed her, but didn't fly off right away.

Dan had bound her wrist and feet with some cloth, and used another to cover her mouth. He then turned intangible and fazed through the floor. He had brought Sam to a room that was pitch black, and had no openings or light. Dan dropped her on the floor and flew out.

Sam couldn't believe what had happened. She was trembling and couldn't see and inch in front of her. She rolled onto her stomach and began to inch herself forward. She didn't know which direction was which, but just wanted to get out of the middle of the floor. The ground was stone cold and it scraped her knees, elbows, and belly. Her head suddenly hit a wall, and she got up awkwardly into a sitting position. Sam buried her face in her bound arms and sent a silent prayer, not even thinking about getting out, but only hoping that her friends, family, and Danny were all safe.
