Okay soooo, here's my update! I really liked writing this part out because I get to have more of Tucker in it.
Anyway thanks for all the support so far! I know I don't update on a consistant basis but it really means a lot anyway. It motivates me (I said that before...)
Okay, it's probably like ten in the morning and I'm still in bed, sulking. I rest under the covers, wearing that medallion Penny gave us earlier yesterday. And I'm holding the third one that I was supposed to give to Shane. I guess I forgot after I ran out yesterday. As I stare at it, I hold it close to my chest and hug my pillow, too.
"Why am I so bummed out about Shane? I shouldn't be surprised he feels that way about me but..." I burry my head in my pillow. "Ugh, I'm so stupid! To think that I thought that we were actually becoming decent friends again. We're only acting this way because of the ghost deal. Once it's over, everything goes back to normal. That was the original plan after all, and... I guess it still is."
Heh, geez. I feel like such a drama queen now, ranting over Shane of all people. After a moment of contemplation I kick the covers off my bed. I've been awake for a while. It's probably time I get up.
But surprisingly enough when I look out my window, I scream and fall right out of bed. I sit right up. After my second glance, I notice that it's a bird... flying... frozen in mid air. I make the weirdest face at it. "What?" I then notice my alarm clock on my bedside. It still says 7:30, like when the alarm first rang and woke me up - three hours ago. "I, guess the clock's broken..."
The frozen bird outside the window's still there, but I try to disregard it as I dress up for the day (rather quickly). I also stuff the medallion for Shane in my pants pocket as I rush downstairs. Maybe I'll give it to Nett to give to Shane instead after breakfast.
"Morning Mom- Ah!" I stop in my tracks as I stare at my mother at the stove. She's standing as still as a statue, holding a frying pan with a half-cooked pancake half flipped in the middle of the air. The flame on the stove is as still as well, and the clock down here says 7:30 too. And I see Grandma sitting at the table with this giant box on the table. She's frozen, too, holding up a giant pale peach colored ball gown - for me. Oh Grandma.
My feet move backwards as I realize what's going on. "Ooh... Okay. T-This is just a weird dream. Or a test from Danny. Yeah. No one's moving. I gotta... I need therapy."
Panic-stricken, I run out of the house and sprint down the street. Everywhere I look, nothing's moving. There are cars in the middle of the street, frozen in place as well. And a lady with her dog, unmoving.
It's like I'm running across a picture. I yell out but no one replies back. I shake a man's arm but he just moves like a doll, still frozen anyway. I'm all alone. There's an erie sense around Amity Park, and something doesn't seem right. Well, obviously. But still.
"Hey!" Calls another voice back to me after minutes of me screaming. It's Nett's voice. "Wendy is that you!" he calls again.
"Nett?" I yell out desperately. I follow his voice and run down the block until I meet him at the corner. We skid to a stop before we can crash into one another. "You're not frozen!" we both say, and the first thing I notice is him wearing Penny's Medallion. He notices me wearing mine as well, but I try to disregard that, too. "Okay my Mom and my Grandma are frozen in my kitchen what the heck is going on?"
"That's what I was running to your place for..." Nett starts out. "But clearly you don't know what's going on either. You think it's something ghost related? Maybe one of Danny's tests or something?"
"At first I was thinking that but the more I run around the city the more I don't think that's the case. And why are we the only ones not frozen?" The sun sparkles against Nett's medallion, and suddenly I think I understand. "Maybe's it's because of these things," I realize as I take his off and around his neck to get a closer look. "Maybe there's some weird ghost magic in it like Penny said that protects us or-" I stop. Nett is staring at me with his arms up slightly - frozen. "Or... something..."
I wave my hand in front of his face before hurriedly returning the medallion back around his neck. And then he reassumes whatever he was doing like he'd never frozen. "... Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's the medallions," I smile, holding both his and mine. "Clockwork's medallions! They're what's keeping us from being frozen in time! Time was frozen!"
"By who?" Nett mentions worriedly. We stand in silence, contemplating it for a sec. The way Danny described Clockwork, he wouldn't do something this. Danny told us a story once about how he asked Clockwork to perform a test for me once back in February, to which he was given a flat out 'no' by Clockwork.
So, if Clockwork didn't do this, then who did? Who could?
"That would be me."
A huge shadow rises over Nett and me. When we turn around, we see our enemy. It's the same ghost I saw in my half-second vision back in the Ghost Zone. "That's him, that's the ghost that was sealed inside the Fenton Thermos!"
"Aren't we smart," the ghost replies. I take a better look at him, because there's something familiar about him. The eyes, the D on his chest, the black and white suit. He seems so familiar... Suddenly it hits me.
"It's a buff Danny," Nett gapes. What?
Our evil adversary laughs at Nett's comment... Well Nett has a point. "Ah, my weaker self. Of course I'd appear more intimidating than he does even now."
"You're not Danny..." I also realize (thankfully).
"Mm, half right. Let's just say I'm a... darker version of Danny per say." He says with an evil grin. He takes a step forward while we take a step back. Well, he is more intimidating alright. "Now if I'm right, one of you should be the Ghost Blood."
"He's after Shane," Nett glares as I grip my fist.
"I'm going ghost!" I transform into my ghost mode and I float up, getting in front of Nett for his protection. I hold a ghost ray in both my hands as I glare up at this... this monster. He's emitting this dark evil vibe that goes beyond my normal ghost sense. "Okay, just who are you and what do you want with Shane!"
The ghost across from me appears surprised. At my transformation? Then again, he's been sealed inside that thermos for who knows how long. Maybe before I was even born. He wouldn't know me. He wasn't here for me. He was here for Shane. "You're a halfa."
"For a bad guy he's pretty slow," Nett remarks as I elbow him in the gut to shut up.
"I see it now," the ghost says. "How could I have not before? You even have the same stupid battle cry as your idiotic father."
"You knew my father?" I gasp as my ghost rays dissipate.
"Something in your eyes show you seek answers..." Dark Danny states as he hovers towards me. "Am I right, child?"
"S-Stay back," I warn.
"What if I said I could give you some answers? To the lies you've probably been fed, " Dark Danny bribes, holding out his hand. "Come with me, child."
"Don't do it, Wen. He's taunting you. He's using you as bait for Shane," Nett whispers to me. I know that, but... I can't help it. He's brought my father into this. "Does he really look like a friend of your dad's?"
"You, did you kill my father...?" I ask, feeling my breathing become uneven. I feel Nett's head jump behind me. My eyes have started to water. "Did you kill my father?"
"Kill?" Dark Danny says with a slight fake withdrawal. "No. Tried to, sure. But I definitly would like to meet the guy who did."
With that being said, I deserted Nett and flew straight for Dark Danny. I prepared to kick him with one of my ghost rays but he easily caught it and hit me with one of his own ghost rays. With blue fire. I flew across the street and crashed into a nearby building, but before I could bring myself back up, Dark Danny appeared over me, holding me up by the neck. He electrocuted me too with some type of ghost attack, rendering me unconscious.
"Wendy no!" Nett yells from across the street.
Dark Danny gives the boy a look as he holds me with one hand. "If you want the girl back, you know who to bring to me. Oh, and by the way, if you know what's best for the goodie-two-shoes Danny, best you not involve him in this either. Wouldn't want him disappearing on us either, would you?"
Nett attempted to try and get me back by running towards us, but by the time he reached the sidewalk, Dark Danny had disappeared in mid air. Time reassumed. The cars started moving, the people started walking, the noise sounded off, and I was gone. Dark Danny was gone. Nett was alone, and left on his own to deal with this mess. "Ooh I'm so screwed aren't I."
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
By 3:00, Nett has run all around Amity Park looking for Shane. Not at the school. Not at the mall. Or Fenton Works. And Nett highly doubted that asking Danny for help at the moment was the best plan either. He wasn't picking up on any of Nett's calls, and he wasn't home either. It wasn't until just now that Nett remembered the Debutante Ball was today at City Hall. Preparations must be made for the event, and all of the people must be there getting ready - including Shane.
Nett took the bus to City hall, running up the stairs and inside the main room. It was decorated to the tip of perfection by hired workers. Flowers everywhere. White table clothes lined every table with fancy covered chairs as well. And in another big room were dozens and dozens of girls prepping for make up and hair. It was like a beauty-pageant-zilla cage.
"Move - ugh - get out of my way- ew! - freak -!"
Nett had to smuggle through the crowd of 'snotty girls' as I'd put it earlier. "Geez, Wen was right - they are horrible. To think I actually wanted their phone numbers."
Once he made it across, he found a couple adults in a tea room, conversing with one another - his dad Mayor Tucker Folly being one of them. Most likely they were all charity ambassadors or other rich contributors to the upcoming ball. But in the crowd he found Shane, sitting alone by a grand piano looking bored. Deep in thought even.
"There he is," Nett sighs with a shake of his head. Doing his best to stay out of sight - since he sure didn't look proper enough - Nett managed to sneak to the back of the room. He got Shane's attention as well. "Pst!"
Shane looks over the piano and sees the nerd hiding behind a fancy couch. "What - Folly?"
Nett continues to mouth other unreadable things to the boy. Finally the thing that got Shane's total attention was Nett repeatedly mouthing 'WENDY' and ultimately shaping his hand into that of a pistol and acting out shooting his own head. Of course this was exaggerated but it got Shane's attention hooked. Shane's eyes widened and he mouthed 'what?'.
"Just get your butt over here!" Nett finally grits through his teeth, to which luckily no one heard. Shane quickly makes his way behind the cough and knelt down to Nett's level. "We need to talk. Obviously not here."
"There's an empty room next door."
The two boys sneaks along the walls out of the room and back into the hell that was full of debutantes. They had actually almost run into Crissy too and narrowly dodged her way behind a marble pillar. With a heavy sigh, both boys ran for the empty room Shane spoke off. Inside it was smaller, but secluded. It was like a tiny sitting room with with a writing desk and book shelf full of encyclopedias. "God that room out there's scary. Scarier than the boys locker rooms at school. I mean phew have you ever smelled the place after football practice I mean my gosh-"
"Dude, Manson?" Shane reminds with hand motion.
"Oh right... Um." Now how was he supposed to explain this... "Okay see. This morning time froze and we didn't know how but when Wendy and I met up we ran into this HUGE buff version of Danny but it wasn't Danny because he was SUPER-buff and he had green skin but not Hulk green and he had flaming blue hair and like the biggest pecs and then he said something about looking for the ghost blood which was you so Wendy went ghost and then buff Danny said something weird which I think meant that he figured out that Wendy was non-buff Danny's daughter which was really really weird because I think Danny has a super seriously evil buff twin and now I think he kidnapped Wendy to use as bait to get to you and before he left he said not to get non-buff Danny involved because he might disappear or whatever but then when I went to try and get them back they disappeared and time wasn't frozen anymore and now these medallions are useless and Wendy's missing and oh my God HOLD ME!" Nett screamed, tugging on Shane's dress shirt.
"Whoa whoa okay, slow down," Shane said, prying off a hyperventaling Nett to sit down on a couch. "Now can you calm down?"
"Uh, no. How can I calm down? We aren't super heroes, dude, we're the side-line guys who help the super hero. Oh my gosh he was so buff we're doomed!"
"Okay shut up already!" Shane yells again, trying to keep his patience. If Nett mentioned this new adversary and the word 'buff' again one more time..."Now, explain this to me again not in one big breath."
Nett exhaled a couple more times before nodding, back to normal. "Okay. So, I think that Danny has an evil twin-"
"Foley-"
"No I'm being totally serious," Nett repeats with the straighest face its scary. "It's like, an evil version of Danny. Wendy said that he was trapped in this old rusty Fenton Thermos at Clockwork's layer but he must've escaped and come here looking for you. But he found me and Wendy instead and well... here we are."
"So he wants me, huh?" Shane realizes. "Then I guess we're just gonna have to find them then."
"Say what?" Nett blinks. "Man were you listening to anything I just said? He's using WENDY as BAIT. For YOU. Emphasis. on. you. And weren't you just saying yesterday how you were going to try and 'distance' yourself from her?"
"Yeah well I think this situation goes a bit beyond my personal love problems don't you think?"
"Oh so now its a love problem."
"No I didn't mean that."
"So you do like her?"
"Is now really the time?"
"Hey you say you don't like her and then you say you like her. Make up your mind because some of us are trying to see where this is going, and I'm getting pretty tired with the same back and forth cheesy hate-love thing."
"Oh shut up."
The door's flat handle began to shake, silencing the two. From the door comes in Tucker Foley, and the guys find themselves cornered again. "Uh, hey Dad," Nett greets casually from his seat.
"So this is where you guys have been hanging out," Tucker says suspiciously. "Hiding from the girls?"
"Yes/No," Shane and Nett say separately, and then exchanging glances.
Tucker looks a bit unsure, but he lets it go for now. "Wendy isn't here? Her Mom called from home asking for her."
"Probably hiding somewhere trying to avoid the whole thing. You know her - soccer tomboy and all, " Nett laughs. Secretly he's holding his breath.
"Right," Tucker says flatly. "Well then I guess I'll leave you guys then-" Tucker is about to close the door but he sees something shine from the writing desk next to Nett. It's the medallion Nett took off during his rant to Shane. Instead of leaving like the boys thought, Tucker walks in and the door closes behind him. Without either boy's opposition due to nervousness, Tucker picks up the medallion, observing it. "Where did you guys get this?"
"We got it at the mall," Nett lies, swallowing silently. "Clearance rack at one of Wendy's favorite weird trinket stores."
There's an unwavering tension in the room as Tucker just continues to stare at the medallion. "You've been in touch with Clockwork haven't you." (...) Moment of off-guard silence.
"What?" Nett asks with widened eyes.
"I've been playing along for a while now but seeing this - this is dangerous stuff guys," Tucker lectures, still holding the medallion. "And while I'm at it, Nett, you're grounded for knocking me out."
"Ah that he remembers," Nett says with an exasperated look.
"Wait so... just how much do you know anyway...?" Shane asks cautiously.
"That depends. How much do you guys know?" The tension has risen back up again. It's a stare off between the mayor and the two teens. Whoever talks first would have to be the one who has to blab everything they know. And both Shane and Nett knew that it couldn't be them. "No one's talking... Okay then, let's me start with some questions first. Like, is Wendy a ghost?"
"... That depends," Nett repeats comically, mocking his father. "Do you know who Wendy's dad is?"
"Danny Fenton - Danny Phantom - The dragon you guys battled against my whim."
"Oh he knows," Nett says as he sinks in his couch.
"Wendy's been kidnapped," Shane confesses. "We don't know by who or where she is but the ghost that took her wants me."
"And this?" Tucker adds with a look as he shows off the medallion again.
"Uh, Wendy and I sort of got those from Penny," Nett spoke up. "Clockwork's daughter."
This time Tucker was the one with the disbelieving face. "Clockwork has a daughter?"
"Hey that's what we said," Nett recalls irrelevantly. "Wait a sec, Penny... That's how he froze time! Dark Danny must've escaped from that cramped thermos and used Penny to freeze time here."
"Dark Danny?" Tucker repeats.
"Eh, Dark Danny, Buff Danny, Hulk Danny, whatever you wanna call him. We don't really have a name on him yet but see like he's really really buff and-"
"Stick to Dark Danny because if this is the same guy I think you're talking about then we're in serious trouble," Tucker states as he marches over to the single door, locking it. He shuts the open window and closes the blinds as well, covering the vents with pillows even.
"I'm gonna guess you fought Dark Danny in your old glory days?" Shane asks curiously.
"Sort of," Tucker replies once he's sure they're in complete solitude.
"Is he Danny's evil twin?" Nett asks.
"He's an evil grown up alternate version of Danny from an no longer existent branch of time and space relatively due to its erasure from the space time continuum."
"... Oh," Nett blinks.
"Long story short, when Sam, Danny and I were your age, we ended up mixed up with Clockwork and we ended up having to face... alternate evil Danny, from this alternate dark timeline. Follow?"
"So it was Danny versus Danny?" Nett imagines. "Cool."
"I'm gonna guess you guys won," Shane smiles.
The smile spreads to Tucker nostalgically. "Yeah. He was sealed in a Fenton Thermos and kept in Clockwork's Keep. I thought that'd be the last we've seen of him, until now. The only thing that's stumped me is why he'd want Shane. If anything I thought he would've wanted revenge on Danny."
"Through his daughter..." Nett says slowly. "He wants Shane for his power to kill ghosts. He wants to kill Danny. Or well, ghost-kill Danny. I forgot Danny's already dead."
"Yeah you guys are due to explain that part to me later too," Tucker says with a slight glare of accusation towards his son. "But he can't, anyway. If Danny goes then Dark Danny goes too."
"Then he'll kill Wendy instead for revenge," Shane finalizes regretfully.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
By near 6:00, the debutante ball is just about to start. And so far for Mayor Tucker Folly, everything's just barely holding up. At the moment they were in the underground parking lot, with Tucker underneath his car just making some last 're-adjustments', with Shane and Nett waiting beside him. "Remind me again why we can't go to Danny for help?" Nett asks.
"Danny can't know about Dark Danny, simple as that," Shane explains, still secretly confused himself. "Danny most likely won't remember his darker self since he fought him with Sam involved. If we drag Danny into this most likely he'll end up more of a hindrance than an aid."
"Ouch," Nett blinked.
"I'm only telling the truth," Shane mutters. But he knows deep down that having Danny see this particular ghost would be a huge risk. He could disappear if he tried to remember too hard.
"Ah right, all done," Tucker announces, rolling out from under his car. A very sleek silver one might I add.
"What'd you do to it?" Nett asks with an odd look.
"I made this baby back in college. Hard to believe with how brand new it looks. It's like a Specter Speeder, if you guys know what that is."
"This thing is like the Specter Speeder," Nett repeats, finding that statement very hard to believe. "Dad it's a car..."
"It has a hidden feature that I've just re-activated. You'll be fine using it." Tucker informs as he rolls back down his sleeves. "There's a tracker in there that's similar to the one in the Specter Speeder for locking onto human objects. You should be able to locate Wendy with that if she's in the ghost zone."
"And how are we going to get into the ghost zone without Danny's portal?" Shane asks.
"Ah, see there inlies my loophole in science. After college I managed to re-create Jack Fenton's original blueprints for the activation of a ghost portal and I've imported it into the car's programing."
"You had a lot of time on your hands in your youth didn't you," Nett comments.
"Anyway," Tucker reassumes, tossing the keys to Shane. "Best you guys get out of here before someone sees."
Obviously both teens are sort of a little... off about this decision. "Mr. Folly you've just handed two minors the keys to your car."
"I've handed two responsible young adults the key to the second generation's model of a Specter Speeder."
"You heard the man, Shane!" Nett grins eagerly, grabbing the keys from Shane and rushing to the front seat. Shane would come to follow eventually, dreadfully. Nett sat in the driver's seat and places the keys into the ignition. At that moment, the once dark car was illuminated with tiny green lines along the monitors, and the windows became tinted. The circular steering wheel disappeared and went to match that of the Specter Speeder's for flying. The wheels disappeared underneath, replaced with the same hovering factor as the Specter Speeder.
A knock on the window posed Nett to roll them down, revealing Tucker. "You guys go save Wendy. I'll hold things up here at City Hall and cover for you guys."
"Are you sure we can take this guy, Dad?" Nett asks unsure. "I mean, he's no Box Ghost that's for sure."
"Hehe, the Box Ghost," Tucker laughs quietly. "Like I said boys you'll be fine."
"Oh and did I mention that I wrecked Danny's Specter Speeder yesterday?" Nett added lastly.
"What?" Tucker stares.
"Thanks for the ride!" Nett rolls up the window, leaving Shane to give him a 'did you really do that' look. "What? At least I didn't knock him out this time." With decent knowledge of how to use a car, Nett puts it into drive - which instead activates a series of lights shooting from the head lights. They create a circular and familiar green portal ahead, pulling the so called 'car' forward. "Oh my gosh how do you drive this?" And then the car disappears into the portal, leaving Tukcer behind as the portal disappears as well.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"GAGH! AGH! YAAA!" As I shoot my last ghost ray at the glass, I'm too out of breath to keep standing. I fall to my knees in shame.
"Please stop, Wendy. You'll exhaust yourself," Penny's gentle voice tells me.
But I refuse to give up like this. We're back at Clockwork's layer, and I've joined Penny in an hourglass prison, with Dark Danny patiently waiting for the arrival of my 'ransom'. "YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS, YOU HEAR ME!"
"How could I not," Dark Danny scoffs near by. "You're so much more spunkier than I'd expect."
"LET US OUT!"
"And much more annoying," Dark Danny adds.
"Please rest," Penny urges as I inhale and exhale at different rates. All this screaming and ghost power usage is only takings its toll on me. "Your body can't take this much stress." She places her fingers over my forehead. At first I wonder what she's doing, and then I feel this calming sensation come over me. "You're bothered by someone."
"Is it that obvious?"
"Part of my developing powers is to freeze time. The other part is supposed to include being able to see all sides of a situation at any given time. And at the moment, it would seem that you are very troubled by this boy."
"I'm sad to admit I probably am," I sigh. "Agh! Being a teenager is so confusing! Why couldn't I have had gone through normal puberty like normal girls? If it wasn't for these ghost powers I wouldn't have gotten mixed up with Shane in the first place." Out of anger I fire another ghost ray at the glass wall, only for it to disintegrate, having done nothing.
"Perhaps so. But on the contrary, he is just as frustrated as you are."
I rub my eyes with the sleeve of my suit. "What do you mean?"
"Power of omni-knowledge, remember?" Penny smiled with a wink. "Like my dad I observe. I can't see into the past or the future yet like he can, but I can see everything in the present. And seeing you here, your friend meanwhile seems quite a little confused himself."
"Shane confused?" I repeat half disbelievingly, half surprisingly. "No way. It's one thing for me to think that we were possibly becoming friends again, but Shane? He can barely stand breathing the same air as me."
"I don't think he's confused about the matter of you two reforming your old friendship."
... I blink. "Then, what the heck's going on in his head?"
Penny giggles. "Oh Wendy you're so oblivious. It's cute."
"Don't change the subject so easily," I say with a vein on my forehead as she continues to giggle. "Hm, still, it's not the only thing that's bothering me. It's this girl Crissy."
"Are you jealous of her?"
"No," I defend with a frown. "But she's going to the same event I'm going to, and she's Shane's girlfriend. But my Grandma's gonna be there and in some odd mix of events she thinks Shane and I are dating instead. So at the moment Shane and I are kinda stuck."
"I see..." Penny says with a thoughtful look. "You know, if I could, I'd go back in time and make this Crissy girl sick so she wouldn't be able to attend this event of yours. Sick with something really bad since she seems to get on your nerves a lot. Like, like food poisoning or something."
I laugh at that suggestion. "How dark of you. But thanks anyway, Penny." Suddenly I feel a rumble within our hourglass prison. "Did you feel that?" Another round shakes the whole hourglass, like an earthquake. Penny and I scream and hold onto each other as I watch pieces of rubble fall outside.
"I felt that," Penny replies. Then there's a huge, and extremely loud, crash ensuring too. "And that." Another crash. "And... that?"
"What the heck is going on?"
Outside, us and Dark Danny witness the last crash in front of us. Through a stone wall came crashing in a floating silver car with green lights. And in the front seats are the two guys we've been expecting.
Shane sits in the passenger's seat, his face plastered into that of panic and his back immersed with the seat and shoulders far back. Nett sits just as frozen, both hands on the steering wheel with a somewhat questioning look on his face. "Well... looks like we all know who's getting their driver's permit last," Nett grins nervously to Shane.
"You've got to be kidding me," I mutter as we stare out the glass.
"Are you serious?" Shane yells, ready to just freak out at Nett. "Are you SERIOUS? What happened to the element of surprise? Instead you just go and crash through a brick wall!"
"Well, stone wall technically. Brick would've scratched the paint a bit more harshly," Nett points out a Shane hits the back of his head against the headrest repeatedly.
"I see you've brought the ghost blood with you," Dark Danny says. "Well, a deal's a deal."
With a snap of his fingers, the glass around Penny and me disappear and we stand back up cautiously. But two duplicates of Dark Danny appear behind Penny and me, holding us both behind by the shoulder. "Hey!"
Nett and Shane also leave the car. "Let them go!" Shane demands warrily.
"After I get what I want," Dark Danny smirks before turning intangible.
"No!" I scream. Dark Danny flies off and towards Shane. He flies straight into Shane's chest and I hear a cry of pain. Shane falls to his knees, clutching his chest as his eyes squint closed. Dark Danny's clones still hold me so I remain immobile. I'm trapped, and I've let him take Shane.
PREVIEW:
"Aren't you gonna kill me yet," I scoff, defeated. He's not moving. He froze, just before he was going to.
x-x-x-x
"What right do you have to call me by my name again..." I whisper, shaking my head. "I'm a sap. I get it. I thought we were becoming friends again and obviously I got the wrong idea... Why do you keep doing this to me?"
"Maybe because I'd actually like to start being friends with you again."
x-x-x-x
"You're a Ghost Blood, child. Let it poison you. Overcome you. Loose yourself to that call and come and kill me. And then you'll kill your friends."
x-x-x-x
"It'd mean nothing, right?"
"Nothing at all."
