Many people have been asking why this isn't a Danny+Sam fic. I assure you it is ( or will be.) Yes Leo and Sam are together at the moment, but if you haven't picked up on it already Leo is EVIL! And both Danny and Sam believe that he really has feelings for Sam. I promise you, my faithful readers, Danny and sam will be together. But this kind of thing takes time, I wont just throw them together and be done with it. I do so hope this has cleared things up with my readers. So without further ado, chapter 10... ( P.S. some of you have been asking for action, and trust me you'll get it! In this chapter and BEYOND!)

Danny's shoulders slumped and was hard for him to keep in flight. He sighed, still in a stupor, and floated himself to the ground. Had he really just bared witness to the biggest mistake of his life? He had been told many times by various people, that if he didn't make a move soon Sam wold be swept up by someone else. He had always believed them, but he never believed it would happen so soon. He knew he had to rectify this, but sadly he had no clue how. He took one last solemn look at sam's second floor window, and tossed the roses he had bought her in the trash.

Changing back into his human self, he began his precarious journey home.

He couldn't help but noticing an eerie presence behind him. But he took it as nothing, his ghost sense wasn't going off.

" Poor poor Daniel. Those deplorable humans got you down again." Came a voice from behind.

Danny recognized the voice instantly...

" Vlad." he growled. Danny was all to used to this. " How come I couldn't sense you coming." Danny simply asked.

"I've figure out how to mask my powers...nifty isn't it?" He chuckled.

Danny sighed Finally turning around. " And to what do I owe this visit?"

Vlad chuckled . " I figured you would not have time to chat. If we must get straight to th point, I came to confirm a rummer."

" And what rummer would that be?" he growled.

" Rummer has it that there is a new ghost fighter in the game with you?" Vlad continued.

" And where the hell did you hear that from?" Danny asked.

Vlad sighed. " Oh its all around. Apparently they are all saying you are unable to handle things on your own anymore. This is why you must continually find people, and other being s to help you."

" I'll have you know that I don't need anyone's help. I can handle things on my own.' Danny really didn't need thins right, he was angry enough.

" Really?" Vlad asked indolently " Show me." He said throwing a plasma ball at Danny. Who quickly counter attacked Vlad, hitting him square in the chest.

" Is that a good enough show for you." Danny asked.

" Not even close my dear boy." Vlad hissed, using some form of new power to lift Danny in the air and toss him into Sam's house. Danny got back up quickly, he was angry enough, at lest now he had something to vent it out on.

Sam's head snapped up quickly. She had just gotten out of the shower when she heard a large thud.

" I wonder what that could be?" she asked herself. Walking over to the sink where she had left her pajamas. Ont top of her pajamas was the amulet her grandmother gave her, and to her utter confusion it was glowing, and shaking uncontrollably. She gazed into its crystal and could make out two moving shapes. Staring closer she could make out Danny and...and... VLAD! And Danny was getting beat... bad. Sam gasped, grabbed the Amulet and quickly transformed. She ran to her bedroom, grabbed her book, and dove out the window. Landing right in front of Danny, who at the moment was tangled in some trash cans.

" Back off Vlad." Sam hissed.

Vlad immediately directed his attention to sam. " And just who is this?" he growled at Danny. " Is this your 'side kick'." he asked mockingly.

" I am nobody's 'side kick." she growled. " And my name is S... Fate." she replied, nearly giving up her real name.

Vlad laughed evilly. " please, your that Goth.. chick. Daniel's friend. You may be able to fool the others, but I am smarter than that... It's a pity to, Daniel could have done so much better."

Sam had, had just about enough of him. Summoning up her energy, she chanted a Latin spell and hurled a ball of gold energy at him. Sending him sprawling in to the next house.

Vlad got up and casually brushed himself off, as if nothing had happened.

" What a shame Daniel, being shown up by your side kick." he sighed. " Are you really going to sit there and watch her accomplish something you could not?"

Danny stood up and pushed Sam out of the way.

" No this is my business, not her's" he replied

" But Danny?" Sam questioned.

" get out of her Sam. I don't need you to fight my battles for me." Danny didn't really mean what her was saying. But her couldn't bare to look at Sam, knowing that he had no chance left with her. He figured if they both went their separate ways they could get on their lives.

" But I..." She pleaded.

" NO. I work alone. I don't need your help. Now leave before I have to do something I regret." Those Last words tore at Danny's heart.

" Fine." she huffed. "If that is really what you wish, then you will never have to see me again.' she said trying to hold back her tears. She slunk back into the shadows and teleported back into her room.

Vlad clapped. " That's my boy Daniel."

Danny had enough of Vlad. " YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD THAT WAS FOR ME! I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU!" Danny took his battle stance and prepared to attack.

" Not that, that wouldn't be fun. But I have other things to do. Like preparing your room. For, dear Daniel, at the rate your are going you will be with me sooner than you think." Vlad chuckled and vanished.

" DAMMIT!" Danny screamed punching the ground. This was turning out to be the worst day of his life.
