I own nothing. Sorry, updates are going to be a little different. College just started back so you may get more updates on some and none on others. I will just be working on them in my spare time.
Danny could feel the strain on his body. The blood was dried on him shirt. He could feel pain. The cold went down to him bones. He tried to remember. All he could think of was that Sam was in trouble. He couldn't remember where he was or how he got there. It seemed to be a forest. He remember Vlad's minions. He remembered the look on Sam's face as one tried to grab her. Her thermos was on the ground. Danny grabbed his. He remembered putting the ghost in his place only to see something blond run over. As he turned his head darkness came over him. Then... Then? Who knew. It was so much easier when the morning started.
Wulf showed up unexpectedly. Tucker tried to translate, but something were lost in the rush. Soon Sam called to say she was being followed. Rushing to the school. Tucker arrived a minute later. He pointed to the tower. I nodded knowing he would open a portal. Wulf wanted to help too, but with Walker closing in, it was best if he stood on the side lines, so he wasn't distracted when Walker showed up. After all, it was just the Vultures. If it came down to it, he could push the ghost into Tucker's portals or make his own.
Dash's face flashed to his mind. He was the distraction. The rest was hazy. He flew a few feet up and looked around. It was just forest surrounding him. Where was Sam? Logic hit him as he took out his phone. GPS. A little creepy, but when you are in constant danger, needed. He followed the little blinking dot to a cave. What he found surprised him. Vlad was tried to a pole. How did that happen? He hardly noticed his surroundings.
"Ah Daniel? Do you mind lending me a hand?" Vlad said. Gesturing with his shoulder.
"Did Sam do that?" He asked not even bothering to hold back his laugh.
"Yes, it seems your little girlfriend, the geek, and the nit whit actual make a good team." Vlad said hoping to light a spark of jealousy.
Danny frowned. Vlad smiled as if it was working. Then Danny smiled.
"Good, because they are. I'd rather have a team that can work without me than a team that can't work at all." Danny said as he moved to the door into the hallway.
"Daniel, get back here and free me!" Vlad yelled. Danny ignored him. The hallway was dark. Danny lite an ecto orb.
.
Sam heard a small giggle. She turned only to see a flash of black hair.
She let her hand touch the wall. A small hand touched hers.
"Danny?" She asked.
"Depends, do you mean the one with a y or an I?" Said the small preteen.
"Isn't that Danny's cousin?" Dash asked as he tried to see in the dark hallway.
"What's he doing here?" Danni asked.
"He's one of us now. Not my idea." Sam stated.
"No one answered my question. Is that his cousin?" Dash asked taking an unguided step forward. Tucker didn't see the jock coming his way and fell upon contact with the unexpected force. Dash followed shortly after.
"Ouch get off me!" Tucker yelled. Danni laughed.
"I thought he was a jock. What's he doing here? Isn't it time for football practice?" Danni asked, lifting an eyebrow.
"Why do you know when football practice is?" Tucker asked, using the wall to get off the ground. Dash laughed at the sound Danni made before muttering out an answered about knowing one's enemy.
"So this is his cousin?" Dash asked clearly annoyed at being ignored. Something he hadn't had to deal with for a long time.
"No, I'm not." Danni answered. As she started to walk forward.
"Then who is she." Dash asked Tucker.
"His clone." Tucker answered honestly before walking off.
Dash froze in his tracks. A clone? How could that girl be a clone of Danny? Without female DNA there was no way for Dania to be a girl. Dash's brain hurt. He didn't even know if he was right. He was just a jock, right? A flash of braces hit his mind. A long forgotten memory. A small bit of light hit their eyes. Sam raised her hand.
She hated the sun, but she was happy to see it. Well, as happy as a Goth could be in the sun. Dani smiled.
"Why were you in there?" Dash asked.
"Someone needs to damage his equipment before he used it. Can't do much with only powers. The better his weapons the worse the fight." Dani admitted remembering how betrayed and unwanted he made her feel. Her fist tightened. The man she once called father was nothing more than a monster.
Exiting the cave felt like a relief, but they still had no way home. An exit not an escape. Just as they were about to head around to look for a garage or any means of transport, Dash let out a gasp of surprise.
"He's got three limos." He exclaimed. Checking to see if they were locked. Only one was. He pulled down the eye protector and a pair of keys fell out. After all, who would think about their car being stolen in the middle of a forest. Dash found two gas cans and put them in the back.
"Wait, where's Danny?" Tucker finally asked. Danny had left long before they found the portal.
"Danny's here?" Dani asked.
"He was suppose to be." Dash answered as Tucker disabled the GPS. Was a limo really able to handle this kind of road? It did get there some how.
Sam had her ear to the phone as a man's voice answered.
"Sam! You're okay? Where are you?" Danny asked.
"I'm fine. We are out back. We even found Dani." Sam answered.
"Dani's here?" As if they weren't identical already.
"Yes, we are about to leave. Where are you?" Sam asked.
"I'm in Vlad's cave." Danny answered. "I'll be outside in a minute." Danny answered
Danny flew up and through the cave. Spotting them wasn't difficult. Everyone seemed so happy to see him.
Happier than Dash's friends had ever been. Was this what being loved looked like? Dash let his head fall as Sam told him to take the wheel. By the time he got home, he was after dark. That didn't matter. No one had even noticed he was gone except his coach, who had left three messages on the machine. Dash deleted them and headed to bed only to hear the alarm go off as he hit the pillow, yet again he questioned how Danny had been doing it for so long.
.
School and gossiped seemed boring. It didn't matter what movie anyone saw, or where the next party was going to be. Then Dash did something he never expected himself to do. He sat with Sam, Tucker , and Danny. Their looks where confused and angry, but it was so much better than a meaningless smile.
