Danny and Sam were snapped out of their silent rapture by the loud screeching of a siren and the screaming of towns people. Danny pulled away from Sam and went outside. His hair blew around violently at the wailing wind.

"This looks really bad." Danny said.

Sam joined him and looked up at the dark sky with red clouds, the moon had dissapeared and the stars turned black. Sam looked down at her watch. "It should be sunrise." She noted.

"Sam I don't think we'll see the sun in a while." Danny closed his eyes for a moment. "I got to go, this has Vlad written all over it."

"Don't worry Danny you won't be fighting alone." Sam said determined.

"I'm glad you want to help and all, but I could never look at myself the same why if anything happened to you or anyone else. And I realize I can't stop any of you, but please please promise me you will take every percaution and just try not to get hurt."

Sam gave him a half smile. "I promise Danny." Sam whispered quietly. "But be careful out there too ok?"

"Ok." Danny smiled as he looked into her concerned filled violet eyes.

Danny prepared to go ghost but was instead blasted down into the pavement. Sam made a throated screech as she saw in an instant his body skid into the ground. Her head instinctively turned to see the threat. Her eyes fell on an already beaten girl in yellow with dark skin and long curly black hair that clung to her face from the mixture of sweat and dirt.

"Valerie!" Sam yelled.

The vengeful girl ignored the gothic teenager and kept her gun trained on the scrawny boy who was still stunned from the random attack. "You." She growled angrily at Danny.

Danny blinked his blue eyes up but stayed still on his stomach. He didn't know what he should do, he couldn't attack her especially in her state, although he never would've to begin with. A good portion of his arm had gotten a beating from the landing. "Valerie don't do this please." He managed to say. "It's me Danny."

"Liar! You've always been a liar." She choked out in a strange mixture of anger and breathlessness. The gun she held in her shaking hand began to charge up, Danny couldn't move.

Sam looked back and forth between the two. Why wasn't Danny doing anything? Sam realized she had to do something before Valerie hurt him. So she decided to stop the girl by leaping on her.

Valerie's shot intended for Danny went stray with the sudden jolt and hit the side of a house. Sam tried to wrestle the ecto-gun from Valerie.

"Get off of me Sam!" She shouted.

"No way! You leave Danny alone!" Sam growled as she knocked the weapon from her hand and it skittered off the sidewalk and into the empty road.

Valerie gritted her teeth and tried to push Sam off. But she soon found out the scrawny goth was a lot more powerful then she appeared. Sam grabbed the girls arms and held them down. Valerie kicked and squirmed but Sam kept herself ontop of the girl while she struggled. The african american girl kicked Sam in the ribs, making the girl fall backwards. For a moment victory appeared to belong to Valerie and she stood up but Sam came back with a punch right in her face.

Danny sighed and pulled the angry girls from each other holding the other back. Valerie didn't even realize that Danny was touching her she was so transfixed on beating Sam. They tried to claw at each other, each making an unholy growling noise.

"Enough!" Danny yelled forcing both the girls to notice that it was Danny's hands that were restraining them. "There's enough fighting going on here we don't need people against people. Especially friends." Danny said glowering at both of them.

Sam and Valerie were startled but the stopped and looked at each other. He was right. Sam and Valerie both stood normally brushing themselves off.

"You're Danny I don't know what came over me." Sam sighed. "But you what do you have to say?" Sam questioned pointing at Valerie.

"I'm sorry for attacking you Sam, but not for attacking him." Valerie's accusing stare met with Danny's annoyed expression.

She folded her arms across her chest and gave him a look that demanded his explantion. Had she any more weapons she would've been all over him, but for now she'd have to settle with words.

"Look Valerie I don't know what you think but..." Danny began.

"I'm not sure what to think!" She shouted throwing her arms in the air. "On the one hand you act all in love with me and on the other you try killing me. Tell me Danny what should I think of you?" She snarled letting her hands fall to her hips.

"You should be thankful he didn't ever consider vaporising you, you selfish little..."

"Sam, stop." Danny scolded his friend. She pouted and crossed her arms and shot a death glare at Valerie. "Val..."

"You will call me Valerie." The hunter demanded.

"Ok, Valerie. I never wanted to hurt you and if I did I'm sorry. But it's not my fault that ghost dog made a mess of your life I only tried to stop it." Danny said gently.

"I'm not talking about that dog, no I'm talking about me seeing you destroy that suite. You knew it was me all along so why did you try to kill me?" Valerie countered.

"Because yeah Valerie I knew it was you who was fighting me, but I also knew at that time that you weren't in there. I knew a ghost had gained control of your suite. So I didn't hold back. I would never hurt you."

"Even if you really deserve it at times." Sam muttered hatefully.

Danny shot her a scowl but she simply turned her eyes away. "So I can understand if you hate me. And if you want to continue hunting me that's fine too, but the problem is you've been working for the wrong man. He is going to take over that is why the town is like this." Danny explained pointing to the sky.

"I fought some of the ghosts he unleashed. There's no way Mr. Masters would ever..."

"Ever what?" Sam bursted. "You don't know him like we do. He's Plasmius, he's an evil half ghost with plans to destroy everything in his disgusting sight. He is going to get everything he wants, which means he doesn't need you!"

A small ringing on Valerie's phone began she pulled it out and read the message. "I've got to go."

"Do what?" Sam demanded.

"Get my suit that my dad fixed. Not like it's any of your buisness." Valerie said bitterly.

"Actually Valerie it is." Danny pointed out. "Look, I don't know how Vlad's domain is going to work, which means we need together for protection. And obviously you Valerie have no protection at all, so it looks like Sam and I are coming with you."

"Who says you get a say?" The girl barked.

"Fine, go get yourself killed." Sam snipped angrily. "It's no skin off my nose, I say if you're going to be that stubborn than maybe you deserve it."

Valerie looked the goth and the eye and considered her options. They were both right, she looked from Danny to Sam. "Fine you can come along." And with that Valerie turned coldy and began her walk towards Axion Labs.

Sam and Danny shared a look and followed. "It would be faster if Danny flew us." Sam suggested while falling into stride along side Valerie.

"There's no way I'm letting him put his ghostly hands on me." Valerie mumbled keeping her eyes straight ahead.

Danny shrugged, he felt hurt at her cold remark but walked beside Sam. "Suit yourself. But the offers still valid." He sighed putting his hands in his pocket.

"Not gonna happened." She retorted, only to be brought to a dead halt by a few ghostly soldiers that blocked their path.

"Really?" Sam asked sarcastically raising an eyebrow at the girl.

Wow lots of yelling in this chapter. Is it just me or do you guys think that Valerie and Sam really equal each other out in a fight. I think they would. So yesI have not much to say except that I am back on track with the whole updating thing and it feels good. Oh yeah I almost forgot, SWEET DEAL 100 REVIEWS FINALLY FINALLY MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE, THANK YOUTHANK YOU THANK YOU! ...that is all.
