"So…Daniel has a new friend…interesting" the shadow smirked before disappearing. At that moment, I turned around to see nothing. 'Strange…I could have sworn I felt a chill' I thought before I shook it off. 'Probably just imagining things' I had no idea how my normal life was going to change drastically. As I continued down the stairs, I wondered about what to get for Phantom. I didn't even know if ghosts ate or not. 'I guess I'll just make him a salad' even if it was for someone who had saved my life, I am not someone who's going to sacrifice innocent animals just to please. Plus I wasn't one who sought to please. An example of people who sought to please would be Paulina and my parents. As I stepped into the kitchen, I was surprised to find my grandmother here and preparing a salad nonetheless!
"Bubeleh! Take this up to our guest alright?" said grandmother cheerfully.
"What?" I was at a complete loss. How did grandmother know there was someone in the house?
"Don't you have a guest upstairs with you? You should bring him something to eat" grandmother smiled kindly at me before thrusting the plate of salad at me and rolling her wheelchair began to leave.
"Thanks, grandma" I said as I smiled gratefully at my grandmother. Grandmother returned the smile before saying,
"Now, go. It's not polite to keep guests waiting" I nodded and dashed up the stairs. Talking with my grandmother was one thing that never failed to cheer me up. Grandmother was just so understanding and open-minded. Unlike my parents who were so demanding and narrow-minded. Who the heck had arranged marriages now? Well, a minority probably still did that but it was just a minority.
"Hey, can I come in?" I asked as I knocked on my door. 'Weird. This is my room and I still have to knock before entering. But its going to be better than walking in on Phantom dressing or anything similar' I thought as my mind flashed back to the time when Phantom had opened the door and I had seen his naked torso. Just thinking about that made me blush bright red.
"It's your room. Did you bring anything?" Slowly, I opened the door. Once I made sure it was safe, I nodded and handed him the salad.
"You should know that even if you saved me, I'm not going to sacrifice innocent animals to please me" I said, my hands on my hips.
"I didn't expect that" said Phantom as he smiled at me and began wolfing down the salad.
"You eat like you haven't eaten in years" I said, the corners of my mouth turned up slightly.
"That fight really drained me" said Phantom before returning to the salad. 'Boys' I thought as I rolled my eyes. I continued to watch the ghost eat. This was the first time that I had seen him eating or off-guard for that matter.
"I'm done" said Phantom as he turned to look at me.
"I'll go wash it" I said as I reached over and grabbed the plate. There was almost nothing left on it. 'That fight really did drain him' I thought. As I exited my room (again!) I made my way downstairs. This time I was certain I felt no chill. The previous incident must have been my imagination then. I didn't want to go assuming things worse still, think that there had been a ghost in my house other than Phantom. As I made my way down the stairs, I completely ignored the piece of paper at the bottom of the staircase. Only when I had washed the dish and was coming back up the stairs did I notice it. Bending down, I picked it up and flipped it over. As I read the words on it, I grew pale.
"Phantom!" I yelled out in a panic.
"What?" he asked as he came rushing down.
"Look at this" I thrust the paper at him and sat. I looked up at him worriedly and watched as his face grew pale before becoming contorted with rage.
"Plasmius" growled out Phantom. His expression was like Danny's when he had seen Vlad.
"What are we going to do? Everyone's going to be in danger because of me!" I yelled out. Okay, I may hate Paulina and all the popular kids at my school but I sure as hell didn't want them dead because of me. I would never be able to live that guilt down considering that I survived.
"There has got to be something we can do" said Phantom as he read out the letter as if he was trying to find a clue within it.
"To: Samantha Manson
If you do not want all the students of Casper High and maybe the citizens of Amity Park dead, bring me the infi-map in 10 days. Once the 10 days are up and I still have not received the infi-map, the students of Casper High will die.
Plasmius"
"Phantom, what is the infi-map?" I asked as I looked at him. I had to do everything I could so that everyone in Amity would be safe!
"You're not planning to give him what he wants are you?" I nodded.
"No! You can't give him that! He'll be able to take over the world with it!" yelled Phantom as he shook me.
"What about the students and the citizens? I don't want them to die because I didn't even try to find the infi-map!" I yelled out.
"Look. We will find a way. Don't worry. Plus I'm sure that everything will be fine. I will protect you and everyone else, alright?" asked Phantom as he looked at me kindly. I had finally calmed down.
"Yeah" I said softly.
"So sorry to break up the touching moment" said a sarcastic voice behind me.
"Fright Knight" said Phantom as he flew backwards up the stairs with me in tow. As he phased us into my room, he placed me on the ground and said,
"Stay here and don't come out until I say so alright? Please" Normally I would have done the exact opposite of that but hearing the urgency and worry in his voice; somehow it made me feel that the Fright Knight wasn't exactly a lame kind of ghost like the box ghost but a powerful one, like Plasmius. I nodded and complied.
"Don't wreck my home" I said with the hint of a smile.
"I won't" said Phantom before phasing out of my room. Soon after, my windows which had been covered by the curtains seemed to be having some kind of light show. Green lights filled my room. I dashed over to the curtains and drew them apart to see Fright Knight and Phantom locked in a fierce combat. Ecto-rays flew back and forth and the people on the ground were all running to their homes, screaming.
"Phantom" I called out in horror as he was hit on the chest by an ecto-ray. I ran to my book case and began rummaging through it.
"Come one…where is it…ah! The legend of the Fright Knight!" I exclaimed as I took out the book and began flipping through it.
"To cease the storm, the end the fear, the sword must sheathe, in pumpkin near!" I yelled out in excitement as I read out the incantation to seal the Fright Knight. But the only problem was where was I going to get a pumpkin? I ran to grandmother's room, not bother to knock.
"What is it Sam dear?" asked my grandmother as she looked up calmly.
"Granny do you have any pumpkins?" I asked.
"Plenty in the store help yourself!" said grandmother cheerily. I rushed to the store and flung open the door. Grabbing one of the pumpkins, I dashed back to my room where Phantom and the Fright Knight were still locked in fierce combat.
"Phantom! Get his sword" I yelled out as I threw open the window.
"Silly human girl! Mind your own business!" snarled out the Fright Knight as he charged me. Holding up my wrist, I released an ectoblast at the Fright Knight which only managed to delay him by a bit. The Fright Knight shook himself and began charging at me again, his sword raised high, prepared to strike.
"Sam!" call out Phantom.
