A/N: Sickeningly short chapter. Don't kill me! I wanted to create suspense! Is it so wrong for an authoress to want to create suspense? No it is not! So please read and review!
Cornered
Today thus far was a hectic day. It took me two periods to get rid of the ghost snake which was good because it meant the school had to be temporarily evacuated which helped explain my missing human half. Then when the ghost was dealt with the school was in session again. I went to fourth period and got a nose bleed during a test. I feel sorry for the teacher. She has a fear of blood. She fainted when she saw what happened to the test.
Now it's fifth period and I can't find Sam and Tucker. It's going to happen soon and I need to tell them.
"Where are you two?" I mutter as I scan the lunch room. This really isn't good.
I look outside. The sky is darkening and turning green. Not good. They're coming.
I run out of the cafeteria and start searching the halls. I need to find them both now! It's going to happen soon! I need help! I can't face all of them on my own! Not that it matters. I know what happens after they come…
The floor starts rattling and fearful teachers open their doors and peer out. The lights flicker once… twice… they're out. Pale green light filters in through the windows. A chill races up my spine. My ghost sense goes off.
"I'm too late," I say under my breath. And nobody will ever know how badly I wanted to go ghost right then.
"We've come for you child," says a voice coldly. They're behind me.
"You've got the wrong person," I answer.
"He wants to see you," they continue.
"Tell him to get a picture," I say without turning around. I feel their hands on my wrists as they slip chains onto me. Their skeletal fingers grip my arms and they pull me towards the portal I know has appeared five feet exactly behind us.
"Danny!" Sam screams as she runs around the corner. She opens the thermos and points it at my captors. Too late. They throw me thrown the portal. She was much too late.
