Chapter 23: Team Work

Previously

Grrr...

"It got their attention. Not the good kind either.

"Manson?..."Star questioned.

"Yeah?..."Sam asked, looking spooked.

"Please tell me that was your stomach..."Star said, almost in a begging sort of way.

"No...yours?..."Sam asked and Star shook her head.

Grr...

Both girls then looked out the entrance and soon saw the figure from earlier out in the distance and all they could make out was it's glowing green eyes...

Which are looking at them right now?!

"RUN!....'Sam shouted as Star screamed as both girls fled further into the cave in order to escape their stalker.

A stalker who just began to go inside said cave.

Uh oh!

Both girls kept running as fast as they could, deeper into the caves. The deeper they got in it, the darker it was, but the girls, still handcuffed together, just tried to get as much distance as possible between them and their stalker.

"Is he still following us?..."Star asked as she kept running alongside the girl she is handcuffed to.

"I don't know..."Sam said as they kept running.

Unfortunately, the girls ended up hitting a wall, blocking them from going any further.

"Oh no, dead end..."Sam said in dismay.

"Did you have to say it like that?...'Star muttered, not liking the implications here.

They are trapped inside this cave, with some monster just behind them and Danny isn't here yet.

This is not good.

With Sam

When they hit the wall, Sam cursed under her breath.

"Oh no, dead end..."Sam said in dismay.

"Did you have to say it like that?...'Star muttered.

Before Sam could comment on that, they heard foot steps...

Heavy foot steps and Star gulped.

"He's coming...what do we do?..."Star asked and Sam gulped.

Sam hated feeling trapped and she hated feeling helpless.

Sure, she was still handcuffed to Star and sure, the wrist ray only had a few good shots left in it but that is besides the point, she is a well seasons ghost hunter, a founding member of Team Phantom and even if Danny isn't here, she is not going to let anyone make her feel this way.

"We fight...I'm tired of running...I mean, why have we been running?! We're two members of Team Phantom here...if anything, he should be the one who us running..."Sam said in determination as she turned to the blonde.

Star looked stunned by what she just said.

"M-Manson...did I hear that right? Did you just call me a member of Team Phantom?..."Star said in a stunned voice.

Sam groaned, before nodding.

"As much as this is killing me to admit but...you are pretty good with the Fenton light saber...and you're not the scared damsel I thought you'd be...you're a good ghost hunter, Star...Maybe too predictable in a few swings but-"

"Manson..."Star warned and Sam remembered that now is not the time or place for that.

"What I mean is... as long as we are handcuffed together, I can't do this alone..."Sam admitted and Star was stunned.

Sam then raised her hand that has the Fenton wrist ray, which is still with little power.

"I only have a few good shots left in the wrist ray and as much as I don't want to admit it, you do know how to use the light saber...so we need to work together if we want to show this ghost who's boss..."Sam said.

"So, wanna team up?..."Sam said as she offered her free hand.

Star was stunned as she looked at the free hand, before smiling and taking it into a firm handshake.

Once done, Star had this to say.

"So, what's the plan?...'Star asked as Sam began to whisper the details to her.

The creature had walked through the caves, searching for the two teenage girls who ran in here.

The creature kept following the direction where he had seen the girls run off to, but still didn't see either of them. It is very dark in the cave but the creature's glowing green eyes helped it see in very dark environments but he still didn't see either girl here.

Where are they?

Unknown to said creature, Sam and Star were currently hiding behind a boulder, waiting for the right time to strike.

"Okay... ready?..."Sam whispered to the blonde girl.

"To ambush whatever that thing is? Would anyone really be ready for that?..."Star whispered back.

"Point taken..."Sam muttered.

Still, Star sent her a determined look, even if the gothic girl couldn't exactly see it due to how dark it currently is in here.

"Still, let's do it..."Star said and Sam nodded.

"Remember, I'll aim high, you aim low..."Sam ordered.

"Right...time to show this creep he picked the wrong people to mess with.."Star said as she held the light saber tightly, before activating it.

Then the large footsteps became louder and they knew that it was close enough now.

"Go!..."Sam shouted.

Sam fired a shot near the creature's head as a distraction.

"Bite this!" Shouted Star as she swung the Fenton light saber towards the creature, while Sam sent blasts to it.

However, the creature only dodged, but didn't do anything to attack them yet.

Sam also notices the ghost has an oddly familiar shape, even if it is still too dark to full make it out.

"Weird... why hasn't he attacked yet?..."Sam thought as Star did another swing, managing to actually land a blow on the creature.

"TAKE THIS, YA CREEP!..."Star shouted as she landed a hit on him, causing the creature to yelp.

"ĈESU! ĈESU! Kion vi faras?!..." The creature let out.

That is what made Sam stop all of a sudden, as that voice and the language was now familiar to her.

Very, very familiar.

Star didn't notice her hesitation, she just readied the Fenton light saber again.

"Alright, you creep! Time to-

"Hold it!..."Sam shouted as she suddenly grabbed Star with her free arm, before she could land another hit.

"W-what?!..."Star questioned.

Star was confused by Sam getting in the way, but Sam then grabbed her cell phone, which while low on battery and signal, could still emit some light.

Sam got closer and the light finally revealed who their mysterious stalker really is.

"Wulf..."Sam said in a stunned, but ultimately relieved voice.

"Wulf?..."Star questioned, not understanding any of this.

Sam smiled.

"He's a friend..."Sam said as the ghostly werewolf got up and dusted himself up, before giving them a fanged, but non threatening smile.
