Chapter 10

Danny opened his eyes half-way with a groan, and blinked painfully. When his vision cleared, the sight scared the daylights of him.

He could tell he was in one of Vlad's creepy rooms, with all the weird computer-stuff. He knew he was, but he didn't know how. Or even how he got there, but he knew it was because of Vlad.

It always was.

Then he took a shaky breath and frowned, once again acting brave, but not feeling it.

He took inventory of himself.

He was still in his ghost form, which was weird, but he was also strapped onto a—chair?

Okay…not the best way to keep me here. His head hurt tremendously, and the pain wouldn't go away.

He shook his head and squinted, trying to break free of the bonds, but his arms were kept firmly tied to the armrests.

"What the—" Danny cried, wondering why he couldn't turn intangible either.

"Ah, Daniel. You're awake." Vlad's voice made Danny whip his head right so fast that his neck made an audible click.

"What do you want? And how'd I get here?" Danny demanded, not sounding half as brave as he had wanted to.

"Oh, thanks to you friend, Liz, or whatever," Vlad rolled his eyes, obviously uncaring

"I have been able to capture you. And, of course, since the last time you defeated me, I've been working on a few…minor inventions in which one your in right now."

He pointed. "It's ghost proof, but will allow you to stay in your ghost form, unfortunately. That's an issue that I will have to deal with, as it's not a big problem."

Danny felt his eyelids drooping, his headache worsening, and he gritted his teeth, looking up at Vlad, who was staring calmly back, grinning evilly.

Danny moaned, and shut his eyes, falling limp in the chair. And the last thing he heard before silence, was the echoing sound of Vlad's laughter.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-((((A/N: Okay, back to Lizzie!! ))))

What are you doing? You have to go back! Lizzie told herself as she walked as slow as possible towards the hotel.

"I can't just leave. I'm going—" she suddenly saw Sam and Tucker, way on the other side of the street, with a whole bunch of stuff, that looked like equipment. "—back?"

Lizzie smiled and silently followed the two for a few minutes, before they came to a huge mansion. "Who the—where are they—" she clapped her hand over her own mouth as Sam looked behind them, before taking out—lipstick?

It sure looked like it, at least from where Lizzie stood a few yards away in the alley.

But it wasn't, because it shot out a huge green beam that basically exploded the iron gate. "Oh...my…god…" Lizzie muttered, watching as Sam grabbed Tucker's arm and they began walking inside.

Don't let them know you're hear. It's best they don't know that until you're already helping out. Lizzie silently crept up behind them, a safe difference away, but close enough she could hear them talking.

"We gotta get him out of there!" That was Tucker's voice.

"No really? I thought we were here for the party!" Definitely Sam.

"Come on. Stop it. Let's go!" Tucker grabbed a circular-type thing and pulled Sam's arm.

Lizzie followed them into the yard, where they used the lipstick to carve a hole in the wall like carving a pumpkin on Halloween. She waited, counting out two minutes before not seeing them, and jumping into the hole.

"Whoa…" she breathed, looking around. She didn't hear anything, so she guessed she was on her own on trying to find Danny.

She hadn't been searching around for more then three minutes when a hand grabbed her around her shoulder and another around her mouth as she tried to cry out.

"What are you doing here?" Sam's voice hissed, tightening her grip on Lizzie's shoulder.

"I'he'tahel'Danny!" she mumbled, and when Sam removed her hand, she frowned, whipped around, and said, "I'm here to help Danny. And I'm not leaving until I do."

"No. You've done enough! Just go home!" Sam cried.

"Maybe, since she's here already, I mean…" Tucker mumbled. Sam sighed. "Okay. But you're only here to look." Sam pushed past her, looking in another room. "Let's go." Tucker muttered.

Lizzie let them go out of her sight until she followed them, but she heard a scream, then another.

Sam and Tucker's scream.

"Sam! Tucker!" Lizzie cried, rushing down the hall.

But a hand grabbed her arm and forced her back, painfully back.

Then a familiar voice cackled,

"Well. Look who's here."
