Disclaimer: Soooo sorry about the month long wait! I really have been busy! So many things have been going on! Some good, some not so good, and some absolutely amazing! But I'm back, although updates may be slower then they were. Senior year and all.

Ok… poll question…ummm… ok… I'm in a really odd mood so please forgive me for this.

First: Name some songs that make you cry every, or almost every, time you hear them. Wanna tell me their reasons, that'd be cool too!

Second: Do you guys want Lancer to find out about Vlad? If so, when? This story or the sequel? Any other input on the story would be nice too… The Vlad question MIGHT have some swing on where I take this… too an extent. I already have a basic plan mapped out. And the sequel.

Ok… shout out to Pixie! You know who you are!

Extra special shout out to the Dark Monk! Miss you lots!

Enjoy!

Chapter 14

It was the second time in two days he felt he should run but was too frozen with fear to do so. He saw Danny brace himself and realized the boy was going to take the hit!

"Danny!"

Bam!

The explosion resounded through the air, the shockwave causing the teacher to be nearly thrown backward. HE saw Danny's body fall from the sky and hit the concrete, tumbling head over heals onto the curb.

"Yes! Perfect shot!" the huntress exclaimed. Lancer stared horrified at the motionless form of his student.

No, Danny!

A boy's body was sprawled, unmoving, in a pool of blood seeping out from under it. Brown hair hid the corpse's lifeless eyes from view.

Chris-

The predatory swoop of the huntress towards her prey startled the teacher out of his shock.

Danny!

"No!" he shouted, running to stop the girl.

"Wah- Mr. Lancer? … Uhh… I mean… What do you think you're doing here?" the girl demanded, startled. "Leave me to this. I have a job to do." She pointed her gun at the boy at her feet.

Lancer ignored the nagging urge to ask her how she knew his name and instead took hold of the barrel of the gun and tilted it upwards, stepping between her and his student.

"I cannot let you do that," he stated in an oddly level voice as if he were speaking to one of his students.

"What! Why?" she argued.

Just like a student.

The English teacher in him decided to use that to his advantage.

"Because, I don't believe you would be doing this town any kind of service. So, I say you just put that blaster away," he let go of the gun, "and talk like a civilized person."

The girl stared at him, completely at a loss for words, her gun uselessly dangling at her side, before seemingly shaking herself from her stupor and doing what Lancer had seen teens do in these situations countless times.

She got angry.

"You're not the boss of me!" she shrieked, "I'm the ghost hunter here and I'm going to do my job and you're not going to convince me otherwise! Why are you protecting him anyway? He destroys peoples' homes and terrorizes this town! He's an evil ghost and doesn't care who he hurts or about the damage he causes! The lives he ruins! He deserves to PAY!" And with that, she pointed her ecto-gun around Lancer and directly at Danny.

Or… she would have, if he were still there.

"Damn it!" she cursed as she stomped her foot, "Look what you did! He got away! Teachers! Urg!"

But then her watch beeped and the gun flew out of her hands, enveloped in a florescent green glow before it exploded and Danny appeared behind the huntress dusting the remains off his hands, a grin on his face.

"Night Valerie!"

The girl spun and, in an instant, was knocked out.

"I really wish I didn't have to do that," Danny sighed, looking depressed as he landed and transformed back into his pajamas.

Lancer gaped at him.

"Did you just say… Valerie?"

The boy froze.

Mwahahaha! Evil cliffie! (dances around)

Sorry about the shortness and the really bad cliffie, but I wanted it to end there… I have the next chapter written, no worries. I just gotta find time to type it.

Yea… that's probably a worry…

Oh well. Better get to it!
