Chapter 11: The Unluckiest Day
"AND YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THIS HOUSE UNTIL WE COME HOME!!! GOT IT?" screamed the shrill voice of Mrs. Manson as she walked out of the house on the second day of the New Year.
Let's recap. After gallivanting through New Years, Sam walked into the house at 8 in the morning…right into the glaring stares of her parents. You see, she told her parents she was celebrating New Years at Danny's.
Danny told his parents he was at Sam's.
It would've worked, had Danny's mom not called Sam's place asking where he put the car keys.
So, Danny and Sam were forced to bond for the day. And, to make matters worse, the whole of Sam's household (butlers, maids and all) were to survey them. Though, it could've been worse if they all liked Sam's parents more than they liked Sam. It wasn't enough to get them out of it, unfortunately, but it did make it easier in the fact that they would claim anything Sam and Danny said as true.
"Why are my parents such…. UGH!" Sam sighed as she sat on the couch, frustrated at not finding a suitable word to describe her parents. Danny sat on the couch next to her as she rubbed her temples.
"Let's just watch a movie, eh?" He asked. Sam nodded in agreement.
Sam couldn't concentrate on the movie. Her aggravation was not just in the fact that she was caught and was now wasting an afternoon watching a movie with someone she only tolerated. No, ever since last Christmas, she had a very hard time getting Phantom out of her head. It was driving her insane! Every time she caught herself thinking about it, she just had the urge to smash her head into the wall until her brains exploded everywhere!
Okay, perhaps a little too graphic…
She looked at the movie; a group of villagers (peasants by the look of them) were gathered around a platform, where a man (dressed like a knight) stood. A woman was in their midst, a carrot on her nose and some metal pointed hat on her head. The villagers were claiming she was a witch to the knight.
It wasn't enough to distract her, although it did bring a slight smile to her lips.
Danny shivered beside her. Sam looked at him questioningly.
"Danny wha-?" "I'll be right back…bathroom?" he said it more as a question, and bolted from the room. Sam stared after him, puzzled.
"Hey, babe. Where's the punk?" asked a mysterious voice.
Sam spun around. A man stood next to the TV, leaning against it as the villagers drug the unfortunate woman (now carrot and hat-less) to some large scales, placing a duck on the other side.
He had dirty blond hair and green eyes. He seemed to be from the grunge era, while a weird white aura surrounded his body.
Sam stared at the ghost. "uumm…who?"
"You know, the punk who was ju- AAHHRRG!" he screamed as a black and white blur smashed right into him. The ghost was thrown into the opposite wall, and Phantom stood- well, floated right where the ghost had just been.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Sam wondered why he was treating her like a stranger, and then remembered her hair and outfit, she must look very different…
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied
Phantom nodded, and glared over in the corner where the unknown ghost was getting up.
"What now Johnny? Kitty leave you finally and you had nothing else to do?" Phantom taunted.
"No! Kitty's staying with me; I've come to make your life miserable. But, I'd rather you didn't come. It would've been so much easier." He said, a knowing look on his face.
"What do you mean?" Phantom asked, a curious look on his face.
"Well, all I gotta do is tell your little girlfriend from Christmas that you have-" He said nothing else as Phantom's fist collided with the ghost's mouth.
"Shut it!" Phantom growled, dragging the ghost outside to resume his fight.
Sam was shocked. How did that ghost, or did Phantom call him Johnny? How did he know about last Christmas? And why was he going after her? Surly he didn't know that she was Lily…
Did he?
Sam snapped out of her reverie. She didn't even notice when Danny came back, although, he looked quite tired. Sam looked at the movie, a group of knights and a king were walking carefully around the edge of some cliff, they were saying something about some guy who would ask them 5…3 questions when they got to their destination.
How long was she thinking?
Free kookie to whoever can guess what movie they were watching! why? 'cuz i'm generous like that!
