I think I might be able to squeeze in another chapter of this story before next Monday but who knows? I've still got homework to do, though I've got slightly less than I started with so that's a good thing but the problem is, is that school starts again next week so I really need to pay attention to my schoolwork. But if I do have time before next Monday I'll try and squeeze in an extra chapter ;)

So anyways, on with Chapter 10 of Wrong Turns ^^

Jazz just had to catch up to them somehow, so she went back inside and grabbed her keys to her car and drove towards the school, she was glad that she had gotten her permit a long time ago and had sorted out the fact that she didn't need supervision when driving.

She drove her small compact car down the streets of Amity Park and eventually Casper High came into view, she could see that her parents were already there. So she pressed on the pedal harder to speed up a little and get there quicker.

Meanwhile Danny was already there and inside at his locker gathering his books for his first lesson with Sam also getting their books.

"So have you worked out that problem with your parents yet?" Sam asked before closing her locker with one hand.

Danny sighed as he slowly grabbed another book that was required for his first lesson of the day. "I don't know how I can say it to them. And I can't stop these recurring nightmares!" He cried almost tearing the pages as he snatched his own book out of his locker and slammed it shut.

Danny walked off not realizing that he was leaving Sam confused, she followed him since they had the first lesson together, she desperately wanted to help him but she didn't know what she could do.

"Danny, wait up." She called out sounding sincere as she held her books in one hand and waved the other to call for Danny's attention.

Danny looked behind his shoulder briefly with a saddened expression; he then stopped in his tracks and waited for his best friend to catch up to him. He held no expression as she approached him.

"Look, I know you're going through a rough time. But I think you need to see what's in those nightmares." Sam advised with a hand gesture.

Danny rolled his eyes in thought of Sam giving him advice; it reminded him a lot of his sister.

"You're starting to sound like Jazz, because you keep giving me advice."

Sam looked confused and then annoyed, she knew that Danny needed help but she couldn't think of any other way to help him.

"Look, I'm doing all I can to help you. If you want me to stop sounding like your sister then I guess you don't want my help."

Danny slowly face palmed and groaned at the same time as he thought about what Sam just told him, maybe it was the lack of sleep or confusion and frustration bubbling in his mind about his parents and the recurring nightmares.

"Sorry, I just don't think I can take in anymore of these nightmares and being constantly beaten up by my parents both as Danny Phantom and as Danny Fenton."

They continued the conversation as they went to class, not long after Danny and Sam had reached their classroom and went inside, everyone heard a loud explosion coming from the entrance of the school. The teachers demanded that everyone would stay seated and they would go investigate. Danny knew that he had to see what it was, he then realized that since his ghost sense hadn't gone off; it was most likely his parents who were making all the noise.

Sam looked at him with narrowed eyebrows, indicating that she was telling him to do something about it. So Danny looked around and hid beneath his desk to transform into his ghost half and turn invisible to see what the explosion was.

The teachers tried to settle down the traumatized and curious teens that were fighting to get out of the room and see what that explosion was, but the teacher blocked them from doing so. Unfortunately with a little more time they were able to knock down the teacher and run towards the entrance of the school.

Sam wanted to follow but by the time she got to the door the teacher was standing up again and blocking her way.

"No, Miss Manson you must stay here while the teachers deal with the situation."

Sam then thought of a clever way to get rid of the teacher without any physical contact. She folded her arms then smirked cunningly.

"Really? Well you're a teacher so why don't you deal with it?"

The teacher then realized what she meant and didn't even give a moment to think secondly on it. The teacher quickly ran off while leaving Sam in the empty classroom alone. She grinned with relief than ran towards the entrance to find Danny and make sure that he was alright.

Outside, Danny had already seen that it was his parents that had created the explosion and now he was trying to get away from them so he could transform back into his human form again. Meanwhile Jazz was already out the car and trying to stop her parents from attacking her little brother.

"Mum, Dad stop!" She cried as she chased after them.

Maddie and Jack couldn't hear their daughter over the sound of their weapons being fired at Danny; they continuously chased the ghost boy around the entire school and eventually out of the school and down the streets of Amity Park.

Danny wanted this to stop but he didn't know how, he had already tried to reason with him and that didn't turn out so well. So what was he to do? All he could think of was finding a place where he could transform back into his human form.

"Why can't they just give up? Oh wait, that's like me giving up on fighting ghosts. Darn it." He said to himself while still in flight.

He had tried to go invisible but they were still somehow able to find him. He didn't know how but whenever he turned invisible to get away from them he would still be attacked by them.

Jazz saw that Danny was in trouble, she wanted to protect Danny but she didn't know what she could do or even how she could help him while he was still flying. So she continued to run after her parents doing the opposite of what her brother was doing which was flying away from their parents.

"Your days of haunting are over kid!" Jack cried while firing another blast at Danny.

Danny turned around and gasped before quickly narrowing his way through the fiery blast and continued flying away from them, he was wondering if his Dad could even keep up with him. He knew how skilled his mum was, Danny was only surprised of how long his Dad had lasted.

But then, his surprised feeling washed away when he looked back down at them briefly to see his Dad slowing down very quickly and panting very hard.

"You go on without me; this ghost boy's too hard for me to catch."

Maddie wanted to proceed but she also wanted Jack to support her since they both loved fighting ghosts.

"Jack, just go back to the Fenton RV and follow the ghost boy's trail." Maddie ordered as she pointed to Danny who was still flying away from them.

Jack looked up at the ghost boy for a quick second before giving Maddie a thumb up in assurance that he knew what to do, Jack then turned around and crashed into his own daughter.

Jazz took less than a second to recover from the hard bump into with her father, and then she got up on her feet and demanded that her father would stop this.

"Dad, you could hurt yourself! I think you should just let mum handle this."

Jack then realized what Jazz had just said, he merely smiled as he got up and hugged her with a tear running down his cheek.

"Oh Jasmine, I knew you weren't overshadowed by that Phantom kid."

"Overshadowed? I was never overshadowed in the first place!" Jazz stated in a loud and annoyed tone.

Jack stopped embracing his daughter as the feeling of relief swept away, but then he began to feel his heart pumping really quickly. He knew that she was right about him needing rest, but he had to help Maddie in any way he could.

"But, I must help your mother."

"I'll take care of that. You go home and rest." She ordered.

Jazz was truly feeling like herself, a responsible adult caring about others. So after Jack had began to walk home since it wasn't so far away from home, Jazz raced back to the school and hopped in the Fenton RV to catch up to both her mum and Danny.

Sam was outside and looked around for Danny, but couldn't see anyone with almost the entire school outside checking what the explosion was.

"It appeared it be a false alarm." A teacher stated as he looked around the school.

"There's nothing to worry about kids, now resume your classes." The principal ordered to everyone.

Sam crept away from the crowd and then saw Jazz running towards her but then turning a bit to the right. Sam at first seemed confused of what Jazz was doing but then looked to her left and saw the Fenton RV. She had to know where Danny was and what was going on, though she did have an idea already of what was going on she just wanted to make sure.

So Sam stopped Jazz in her tracks and implied that she had to come with to know what was really going on. Jazz looked at Sam almost blankly in thought. Jazz had to think for a moment of whether it would be safe for her to take Sam. She then assumed it was okay and invited Sam into the passenger seat of the RV as she sat in the driver seat and waited to make sure that Sam was buckled in.

Jazz stepped on the pedal and swung the steering wheel to the right which made the RV go into a half circle but then driving down the street towards where Jazz had come from.

"So, what's going on?" Sam asked needing to know if Danny was okay.

"I'm not sure, but my mum is after the ghost boy and I need to stop her." Jazz implied as she sped down the street to find her mum and her little brother.

Sam wondered in thought and confusion, she was unaware of why Jazz cared about this half of Danny. She wanted to ask questions but saw how focused Jazz was on the road. So she remained silent until they spotted some green blasts going towards Danny.

Well, I guess the next chapter will have to be the one with the big plot point. I can definitely tell that this is building up to the big plot point so just be patient and I'll have the next chapter up either before Monday or this time next week ;)
