Guess what guys? Yesterday was my anniversary of being on fanfiction for a year! How cool is that?

Wow, time flies…

Anyway, I updated quick! Well, its only been a week, but at least its not a month ;)

So I decided to just work on this story for now. I'm almost done. Just like 3 or 4 more chapters to go, then I'm done with another story! :D And my stories for "The Adventures of Andrew Fenton/Phantom" and "Angels vs. Demons" are not going to be updated anymore. I might as well put them up for adoption. I got other wonderful stories to focus on. Like this one for example (:

So, enjoy my treat you little puppies ;)

I do not own Danny Phantom.

Haunted Nightmares

Chapter 14

The room went silent. No screams or voices were heard. Not even the air was blowing, which made everyone stop breathing. Everyone's jaws except Sam's were dropped to the floor. Was she really going to sacrifice herself so her dead friend would survive?

And she was. Sam kneeled to the floor, and took a bow that meant she was surrendering. Sam's nightmare lifted her soul out of the six year old Sam body, and placing her on the floor. She pushed David to the ground, who looked completely shocked by the sight. Again, what the heck was going on?

Danny and Tucker couldn't get their brains to process the two words Sam has spoken. Was she really going to do this? After all they been through? Was she really going to throw those memories out of the way, just so she can save David, even though this was just a nightmare?

And sure she was. Her nightmare came closer to her, and reached out a hand. Sam knew where this was going. If she took it, she will be sucked into a sucking black hole. If she didn't, she'll be safe.

Sam was about to take it when Danny jumped in front of her. This action made Sam jump and yelp, but Danny didn't care. He wasn't going to let Sam do this. He wasn't going to let her sacrifice herself to save her friend, who was already dead. Sam narrowed her eyes at him.

"Danny, move." Sam demanded, coldly. She was about to go around him when he stopped her.

"Why should I? So I can let you die?" he asked. Sam sighed in frustration.

"I said, move." she repeated herself. "You said to follow my heart. So I am. I'm following my heart. And my heart is telling me to save David." She started to walk pass him, towards her nightmare.

"Well, I was wrong," Danny admitted. This made Sam stop in her tracks. "Sometimes your heart is wrong. Does this seem right to you? David died a long time ago, Sam. And he's never coming back." Sam turned around and faced Danny, her eyes flooding with tears.

"You don't know that, Danny! He could still be here! You never know! Maybe that night was a nightmare. Maybe this is just a nightmare and I'm still six years old, sleeping in my six year old bed, in my six year old room, with my six year old friend! Maybe my life is a nightmare and when I wake up, I'll be in the hospital as a new born baby! You just don't get it, Danny! I think of this every single day of my freakin' life! I need to save him! I can't see him die once more… I-I can't…" Sam confirmed. She looked down at her feet, avoiding Danny's eyes. Danny then sighed and took a step towards her. He lifted her chin up, so her eyes met his.

"I understand," he whispered. "But what I'm asking is, is this really what you want? To push everything we been through out of your mind, just so you can save the friend who died years ago? I know he was your first friend, but we been through so much more. You need to let go of David, Sam. He's the part of the past. And what happened to him, is destiny. And there's no way you can change what destiny has done." He leaned his forehead onto hers. Sam bit her lip. Now, what should she do?

"SILENCE!" Sam's nightmare ordered as she rose up from the ground. "SAMANTHA HAS MADE HER DICISION, AND THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE IT! Now come, Samantha. Its time for you to sacrifice." Sam's nightmare held out her hand for her to take. Sam turned around from Danny, and gulped.

"No." Sam disagreed.

"Excuse me, dear?" Sam's nightmare asked.

"You heard me. I said no." she repeated.

"Well Samantha, you have no choice. Its either you surrender, or David dies." she threatened.

"Its time for me to move on. David died years ago. Its time to let go of him. Now I know its not me who killed him. Its you, nightmare. You are the one who killed him. Not me. I am done. Kill that fake David for all I care. I'm not scared of you anymore. And you know how I conquered you once? Well I'm about to do it again." Sam admitted. It was then that lightening flashed and the screams of Sam's nightmare was heard. It was then that her nightmare blew up, and became a pile of ashes. Everyone fell silent, unable to move. Did they just defeat Sam's nightmare?

It was then that a door appeared in front of them and sucked them into the darkness. But before they left, Sam saw a smile crept on David's face, thanking them for saving his life. Mostly Sam. She gave a sad smile back. It was going to be hard for her to let him go. But one thing for sure, he'll always be in her heart no matter where she goes.

They landed in the middle of the old wooden house. Everything was so… quiet it seemed. It was just then that Sam's parents made their way out of the dark hallway and ran to Sam to give her a big hug.

"Oh my Sammykins!" Pamela exclaimed. "I'm so glad you're alright!"

"I'm fine mom." Sam admitted. She looked at Danny and smiled. He smiled back. She then turned to her mother. "Everything's going to be just fine with me."

Her parents exchanged worried looks, especially her grandma. Sam gave them a confused look. What were they hiding from her? Did something bad happen?

"Uh… guys? Is something wrong?" she questioned with worry. Her father stepped forward and put a hand on her shoulder.

"You remember David, right?" Jeremy asked. Sam nodded without hesitation. "Well… his parents… died."

"WHAT?" Sam shouted. "HOW?" It was just then a breeze blew through the wooden house. And can you guess who was floating in the air? Sam's nightmare.

"Me," Sam's nightmare admitted with an evil grin. "And now, its your turn, dear."

"Over my dead body," Sam and Danny shot back in unison. They blushed of embarrassment.

"Well then," Sam's nightmare started. "Bring it on."

Okay. I'm so sorry, I have to stop it there. I have to go to bed and I don't feel like finishing this tomorrow Dx

So, what might happen? Will they defeat Sam's nightmare? Find out in Chapter 15! :D
