Wow, two more chapters left…can you believe that? I can't believe it! What I'm hoping for right now is that I can finish it decently, not too rushed and not too drawn out. I've been working on a few things so hopefully I won't stay inactive too long. I'm also testing out new fandoms so maybe no Danny Phantom fics for a while, I dunno.

Thanks to all my *sniff, sniff, tear, tear* wonderful, faithful reviewers, who are always there for me: Skaties, Thoughts-of-Nothingness, xolovebirdox, Jessi, Naj, angel-of-the-obvious, bloodmoon13, Devilchild93 and ShortSweet'NToThePoint! Sorry about review replies. :(

Chapter 14: Flashback: Sunday Night

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom…or an LG phone which as you can see, I am obsessed with.

Benjamin seethed in his bed of hatred. His mind couldn't focus on anything but the bitch he had married. He hadn't even wanted to marry her…damn his ambitions! When he had first seen Samantha he had thought her pretty but strange and secretive. All in all, he hadn't been interested. But who would be interested if they already had the love of their life? Unfortunately, he had a dream. A dream of becoming a top, 'I earn a million dollars a month' lawyer. He had been young and scared of being rejected because of his bisexuality…so he had approached her and eventually married her. She had always been distant and disconnected. His purely good intentions seeped through his fingers and his need for love and a real relationship led him to unfaithfulness. Sleeping with a different guy or girl every night gave him a pleasure that couldn't be matched, so he continued…until he had had an AIDS scare. Then he had decided to take it one person at a time.

Sam didn't even enter this picture, his true life. She was only someone who made him look good on the surface and someone who cleaned his house and cooked his food. She could have been disposed of easily and he could have remarried, but he had found someone who was so unobservant that she didn't realize him coming home way too late or not at all or like on Valentine's Day when he had spent the day with Martin, his current loverboy. He had thought Martin his second soul mate (his first being Dmitri) until he had met Daniel.

Daniel had been from the start a bad boy. Dressed in black, sitting in a bar drinking nothing, just staring at his steepled fingers, ears pricked to pick up any danger. Typical position of an ex-convict. His long, glossy raven hair and his electrifying blue eyes had caught Benjamin's attention. The way his body moved under the leather and his muscles pushing against the fabric drove Benjamin to do something brash in the hope that he, Daniel would come to his rescue. He had spilt his beer on a big guy, obviously also an ex-convict. Benjamin could always spot them ,after all, he had helped to put many of them in prison.

It had worked; Daniel had come to his 'damsel in distress'. It didn't take long for Daniel to scare the man, just a look into his eyes told you that you didn't want to be on his bad side. Benjamin had kicked up his flirting that night, but Daniel had brushed it off as nothing making it seem like he was straight. That didn't matter, Benjamin had seen many "straight" men and women go gay. Though he had titled himself bisexual, he found out he was more interested in guys than girls.

Benjamin had invited him home, wanting him to eat dinner with him…he had first thought about bringing him to a private dinner, but when dealing with straight men, you couldn't make your intentions known until they had started to break. So, he invited Daniel to dinner with his family hoping to prove that he didn't love his wife as much as he should and that the feeling was mutual. Samantha, being the bitch that she was, obviously liked him too and faked a fainting spell to get him to fall for her. He had wanted to choke her right there and then and kill her, but he had kept his control and put on an act. A very good one at that.

It had been hard for a while with him being infatuated with Danny while having a relationship with Martin. Until he told Martin how he felt with tears streaming down his face and "I'm sorry's" pouring out of his mouth after every other word. Martin had accepted it and they had made the sweetest love that night. Martin had stood by his side and told him that until he, Benjamin, could get with Daniel then he, Martin, would be Benjamin's boyfriend. Martin would forever love him, but he could not hold Benjamin back from what he truly wanted. Benjamin knew that Martin would be there for him always, no matter what.

"Excuse me Mr. Nichols, but you have a visitor. Is it ok for me to send him in?" A cute nurse in a short uniform asked as she poked her head into his room. Ben smiled, charmingly at her.

"Do you know who the visitor is, lovely Charlotte?" He asked.

"He says he's your co-worker….I think his name is Martin," Nurse Charlotte said. Benjamin became excited.

"Yes! Send him in immediately. No need for him to wait much longer!"

"Ok, I'll go do that," she said and winked at him and left. Benjamin grinned. He could hit that if he wanted to.

Martin came through the door not too long after Nurse Charlotte had left wearing T-shirt and jeans with sneakers. His short blonde hair, golden actually, shone even without light anywhere close by and his dark blue eyes showed concern with another emotion hidden beneath it. His lean body moved slowly under his clothes and Benjamin was wondering how long it would take…

"Benjamin! Oh my goodness! I was so worried about you! I heard there was an accident and I had to get a day off from work to come and visit you! I'm so glad to see that you're alright!" He said, embracing Benjamin, keeping his head between his hands when he pulled back.

"You'd never believed what happened. That slut pushed me down my stairs. My own very set of stairs!" Benjamin exclaimed.

"Calm down, honey," Martin said and leaned forward to kiss Benjamin on the lips.

"How can I calm down when I am in this freakin' hospital bed because of her!"

"Did you break anything?"

"No. I only sprained my ankle and cut myself a few times. I don't know why they're keeping me here. I don't know what she told them to make them keep me here! I want to kill her! As soon as I get out of here, I am going to divorce her and put her in jail. How could she forget that I am a lawyer? Damnnit! I don't even need a judge to put her in prison for the rest of her life! How much more stupid can she get?" Benjamin fumed. Martin sat in the chair beside Benjamin's bed, his face serious.

"What if I told you that there is a way to get your revenge? And by doing it this way, we both get something out of it," Martin said. Benjamin looked at Martin quizzically.

"What are you trying to say?" Benjamin asked.

"I haven't been completely honest with you, Benjamin,' Martin admitted. Benjamin took a deep breath, disbelief spreading across his face. He trusted this guy…what was going on here?

"I don't understand. It's been…how many years has it been?" Benjamin asked.

"The love that I have for you is not a lie, my name isn't a lie either. I don't really have a name. And I've been around longer than you can imagine. You see, Benjamin…I am a ghost," Martin said with all seriousness.

"Ghost? I thought they all lived in…in Amity…" Benjamin said, a few things finally connecting. Samantha had lived in Amity for a while, and so had Daniel.

"And I have known and hated Samantha and Daniel for the last seven years of my life. Do you want to know why?"

"Are you trying to tell me that Daniel and Samantha have known each other for…longer than we have been dating and married?" Benjamin asked.

"Not only do they know each other, they were once together. Boyfriend and lovely girlfriend in love and inseparable. Their union wasn't one that was meant to last. Daniel had problems with my master, Lord Plasmius, and he was destined to ruin. He tried to fight and killed my Master with the help of Samantha who put herself in enemy's territory to trick us. It worked, unfortunately, and my master was killed. However, he didn't die in vain. Daniel was sent to prison after that for killing Vlad Masters, the human half of Plasmius."

"Human half? Was this Lord Plasmius a ghost?"

"He was a halfa. Half ghost , half human, just like Daniel."

"Daniel is half a ghost?"

"And his son, your adopted son, Samantha's biological son, Shaire, is a quarter of a ghost," Martin said, happy with all the secrets coming out into the light. He had everyone where he wanted them. Benjamin had proved the idiot that Martin/Tony/Camouflage had first thought he was.

Martin had entered Benjamin's life a few months after Benjamin married Samantha. He had hated her and wanted revenge. He knew Daniel wouldn't stay in prison too long, he knew that the moment he anonymously dropped off the video of Daniel "killing Vlad" at the police station. And he knew that after he had been set free, he would find her and try to steal her back. Then he would enter the action. It was pure good luck that Benjamin was bisexual, it made him trust Martin more than he should. Benjamin had played right into his hands. Benjamin wanted revenge and he wanted Danny. He would have both…until Martin got tired of him and killed him.

Martin was also going to get what he wanted. He wanted to kill Samantha for playing with his feelings. He had really truly liked her in a sadistic way, which was why he had refrained from raping her. He didn't want to kill her (he kills his mates) no matter the need of satisfaction. Killing his mates gave him that rush of adrenaline that he couldn't describe. It sent chills of excitement, almost orgasmic, through his body. He had thought he'd enjoy her a little before he raped her and killed her. She wouldn't have sex with him unless she was forced, he knew that.

He regretted not killing her and over the years, the need to have her life almost drove him insane. So he tracked her down and came up with a brilliant plan. And it had all played out perfectly…he only wanted Benjamin to agree. And he knew Benjamin would agree. He would go to any lengths to get Daniel for himself. Who could blame him, Daniel was like an Adonis. Martin didn't want to accept it, but even he had had a thing for Daniel. However, his need to kill far outweighed any other emotion and Martin didn't regret many things.

"I find this very hard to believe," Benjamin said, eyes wide open in surprise and disbelief. Martin quickly faded out of his human skin, allowing the man in the hospital bed to see his true from. Benjamin covered his mouth, trying not to scream. Martin smirked.

"Do you believe now?" He asked, allowing his voice to echo eerily. Benjamin nodded fiercely.

"I believe you now, Martin…but what do you want me to do?" Benjamin asked, trying to make it seem as if he had overcome his new found fear and surprise.

"Well, we don't get to kill Samantha yet, which is disappointing, but necessary. We use her as bait. We use both her and Zoey as bait for Daniel. I want Daniel to work for me, follow my orders you know, so that I can become the next king of the ghost zone. I want Shaire to work for me too. I don't know what talents he has, but he's a new kind of ghost and I want to test his skills. More than likely, he'll be useful. So I use both of them, threatening to kill Samantha and Zoey, so that they do whatever I want," Martin said. He had every detail planned.

"So, what do you need me for?" Benjamin asked. Martin smiled.

"As you have noticed, I have a little talent that comes in handy. I can change into anyone that I want to and by doing that, Daniel can't sense me. I want to change into you," Martin said, he was getting somewhere.

"Umm…is that safe?

"I change into you, go to your house leaving you at my place tomorrow night. They will be here that night, I've planned a little surprise for our bait," Martin chuckled evilly.

"And then what happens?"

"I do a few ghostly tricks. Daniel can't sense me when I'm in camouflage but Samantha figures it out. When she does, she'll go rushing off to Danny. Then I'll come and get you. If she brings the kids with her then I'll have to work very hard to get them away from her and to you. If she leaves them at the house then everything will go well."

"What am I to do with those brats?" Benjamin spat, hating Shaire almost as much as he hated Samantha.

"You keep them in your company, tie them up or whatever, just keep them away from the fight. You have to tie up Sam too. Only Danny and I must fight. When I defeat him then I will explain my plan to him Then, yes, here comes the good part, then we bring them to the ghost zone. To Lord Plasmius's old castle and we put Samantha and Zoey in a cell. We get to torture them will Daniel is watching. Then, then I will force them to take on my plan."

"How do you know Daniel will obey you, what if he defeats you?"

"He won't. He's rusty and I have been busy for the past seven years. Also, I can use Samantha and Zoey as a bargaining ticket," Martin said, grinning. His plan made him happy. Benjamin stared at the ceiling, the plan running through his head quickly. He was reviewing it, searching for any weak spots. He was worrying about Daniel defeating Martin…but the plan was good and just as how Martin was trusting him to come through on his end, he would also trust Martin to come through. It could work. It would work and just in case it didn't, he was already coming up with a back-up plan.

"I think it sounds brilliant," Benjamin said turning to Martin.

"So, are you in?" Martin asked, leaning forward. Benjamin grinned wickedly, visions of a bleeding Samantha running through his head. Visions of him and Daniel followed. It occurred to him that he was so smitten with this guy, Daniel, that he would do anything…ANYTHING…to get him.

"Yes. Yes, I am," Benjamin said. Martin was so filled with excitement and expectations that he bent forward and kissed Benjamin so deeply and passionately that Benjamin's heart stopped beating for a few seconds.

So, muahahahahahaaaaa!!!!! Now you all know the plan! And yes, Tony/Martin/Camouflage is recycling the plan…but, will it work again? I want to know what you all think of this chappie. I know its short, but it's very informative! You all know everything that was a secret. If I haven't explained anything, just tell me so I can correct it! Yay, two more chappies to go! And 112 reviews!! Yayyyyy!!! All I need now is chocolate.
