Puppy Love
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, Butch Hartman does. But I do own Lilith, and the story.
(Hey peoples! I am sooooo sorry for taking this long to put up the next chapter. It was there, I just didn't submit it. I have to admit I was a little stuck on this one... didn't really know what to say. It kinda hit me near the end. You know... the idea? Yep. So please review, all you nice peoples of the world, and plz no flames! Enjoy! :D)
Chapter Ten - Figuring Things Out
My parents were given a call to let them know I was in the hospital. They came to see me immediately, Jazz too. The hospital staff let my parents know that they'd be keeping me for the night to see if everything was okay. Sam stayed with me the whole time. She refused to leave my side. I was grateful for her. Grateful that I had her in my life. Grateful to call her mine.
When I was strong enough, my parents checked me out of the hospital, and Sam and I walked out the building together. I was just so glad she and her family were okay. Honestly, I would not have been able to live with myself if one of them got hurt, or even worse, all of them. I'm the hero, so it's my job to save people who need saving... and in turn, I get crutches... and their daughter's hand in marraige. I didn't deserve that. I didn't deserve any of it. It shows you that a person can change for the better.
When we arrived back home, everything was alright. Lilith seemed so darned happy to see me, Sam too. Just for the fun of it, I kissed my Sam, and little Lily barked. We both laughed softly. Lily was already showing signs of growing. And the signs were even more obvious when we went to the living room. Lilith tore up a pillow, leaving feathers and fluff everywhere! Maybe I should've payed more attention to the whole "teething puppy" thing.
Sam, Lilith and I went up to my room (with some help from my dad getting me up the stairs) to rest for a bit and figure things out. Okay. So what exactly happened again? Oh yeah... Vlad was 10 times more powerful than the last time we've all seen him. How did he get that way? We were about to find out.
"I just don't get it." I told Sam. "The disasteroid was supposed to kill him."
"Yeah..." then Sam gasped. "Danny! What if it did the exact opposite?"
"It made him more powerful? But how? It was made of ecto-ranium."
"Well..." Sam started.
"Mhm...?" I asked her.
"What if it somehow got into his system?"
"Hmm... I don't know Sam. How would it get into his system in the first place?"
"I don't really know... the only way I can think of is if it hit him and shattered. Maybe one of the pieces became lodged in his skin and the power was released?"
"But that's supposed to kill ghosts."
"You're right... it's supposed to kill ghosts. Not half-ghosts."
I gasped. Could she have been right? What if his human half helped him survive the blow? What if Sam was right about his power source?
"There's only one way to find out."
(*Gasps* What do ya think he's gonna do? :o)
