Future Sam's POV
I watched as Danni closed her eyes and concentrate. "I'm going to do a partial possession. That's what Sammy calls it when we use our full Link," she told us. After a few minutes, she opened her eyes. I was taken aback seeing that she had one blue eye and her brother's amethyst eye. "Danni," I asked. "Somewhat, we're sharing our minds and talking through each other," came the reply, "By the way, Danni told me that she's going to keep the loon busy while I talk to you. He he, she's got him slightly scared and she's called him a nutcase." I shook my head. Danni sure likes to mess with people and put them on edge, especially if that person messed with our family. "Are you ok, Sammy," Danny asked him. Sammy replied through Danni, "So far. Loony-man wants both of us. Apparently he found out something about our balancing out each other's strengths and weaknesses. He really wants Danni more than he wants me. He's locked me in a completely ghost-proof room. It smells funny, almost like pine and dead animals."
"I know where you are Sammy," younger Danny blurted out. "Vlad had a cabin in the woods in Colorado. I still can't get over all those dead, mutilated animals." I was about to say something when Alex came up from the basement, "Aunt Sam, everyone, 'Phantom's' awake!"
Phantom's POV
I woke up in some kind of cell and opened my eyes to see a boy sitting in a chair playing a video game. I looked at him carefully. He was wearing a blue shirt and black jeans, a pair of glasses, and a red baseball hat, backwards of course. "Who are you? Where am I," I asked him. The boy yelped in surprise and dropped his game. He picked up the game, dusted it off before looking at me, and ran out of the room yelling, "Aunt Sam, everyone, Phantom's awake!" Oh great, what'd I do to get here and why did that boy remind me of someone?
My answer came shortly after I heard footsteps. Thirteen people were crowded into the room; the fourteenth was a girl with strange eyes held by a man wearing an orange jumpsuit. I couldn't remember why a few of them felt familiar. "Who are you people," I asked. One person stepped forwards. She was wearing a black shirt, black pants, and she had a purple scarf tied around her neck. "Do you remember anything," she asked me. I was about to say no, but something sparked, "Not much, just a few flashes. Losing my family, going to Vlad and having my humanity ripped out, and waking up here." She turned to a boy who looked a little like me, "What do you think Danny?" He shrugged, "I feel that he's telling the truth, but he could be faking it."
Just after he said that a girl with strangely colored eyes spoke up, "Mom, Danni and I need to switch back before Vlad figures out that Danni's got partial possession of my body. Plus she's the one who can sense if someone's good or not." The woman nodded, "just promise to keep in contact with your sister, Sammy." The girl nodded, closed her eyes and when she opened them up they were a familiar shade of blue. "Sammy's gonna mess with Vlad's head for a bit before he checks in again," she said, sounding tired. "Sammy mentioned that you needed my empathic ability before we split. What's up?" The large man carried her close to the cell I was in. "Don't you dare do anything to hurt Danni-girl, Phantom," he warned me. I nodded. He placed her on the bed that was in here. "Thanks Gramps," she said to the strange man before turning to me, "I'm not going to hurt you, but if you try to hurt me, you'll have to deal with Mom and Dad." I nodded again, noticing that the woman in black and a man wearing a red and whit shirt and blue jeans stepped closer. They must be her parents. I felt hands on my own and suddenly felt calm, despite the fact that it felt like everyone would pounce on me if I made one move. "He's safe, Mom," she said releasing me. "Congratulations, Phantom. You're free from the evil that overpowered you for so long." Huh? What's that supposed to mean? "Now we just have to stay away from Plasmius," she said. "He's radiating pure evil, and it's making me a bit queasy. Is there any way to strengthen his cell, Grams?"
