A Phantom's Ghoul School Sweetheart
Chapter 26: Trapped In Love Part 3
With Vlad
Skulkers had spent a long time explaining the details of his last two encounters with their mutual enemy.
"And that's what happened...for all I know, the whelps disappearance is that banshee's doing..."Skulkers said, though he was still inside Vlad's cube
"A banshee with a glowing necklace...hmmm...I wonder..."Vlad thought as the evil halfa split into two and his double flew over to his bookshelf.
He then started flipping through a book from the Middle Ages
Finding the page that he was looking for Vlad frowned.
"Could it be?..."Vlad thought as he flew over to Skulker, showing him the page
"Was this the necklace you saw?..."Vlad asked.
"Skulker accessed his suit memory banks, bringing up an image of the Ghost girl's necklace in his ocular display, comparing it to the illustration in the book.
Once he saw it, Skulker nodded.
"It is..."He said.
Vlad grinned showing off his fanged smile.
"I knew it, after years of searching..."Vlad said triumphantly.
"What is it, Plasmius?..."Skulker asked, not getting it.
"This is the amulet of Persephone..." Vlad said in awe.
"According to legend , it was forged as a wedding present by the god of death himself... whoever wears the necklace will be hidden from those who'd do the wearer harm and will great power at his command..."Vlad said as he marveled over the item
Skulker frowned
"I've never heard of it..."He said while Vlad gave Skulker a condescending smirk
"I'm sure you've heard of the last person to wear it Alexander the Great..."Vlad said and Skulker nodded
"I have been searching for it for years ...I must have that necklace and it's power..."Vlad said merging into one releasing Skulker.
The hunter dropped face first onto the floor of Vlad secret lab.
"Where did you see the necklace?..." Vlad asked Skulker pulled himself up.
"It was with a new ally of the whelp although..." Skulker grinned
"It seemed they were more than just friends, if you get my meaning..."Skulker said as he showed another image from his memory bank, which has Danny in the arms of the banshee.
Vlad raised a brow at the image.
"Strange, and here I thought that he was only interested in human girls..."Vlad thought before filing away this information for later.
It could prove useful to him.
Plasmius flew over to a computer and began quickly typing.
"I've just wireless uploaded my equipment tracking program into your armor...find Daniel and his new lady friend ...bring me the amulet of Persephone and I will forgive this little incident..."Vlad ordered.
Skulker nodded, activating his rocket systems.
He was about to fly out, when Vlad said this.
"Oh and Skulker...don't forget who gave you your original suit...the one who made you into the great hunter you are... steal from me again and I'll see what happens when a ghost is thrown into a field of blood blossoms face first! Is that clear?..." Vlad threatened, no promised.
Skulker, knowing that he doesn't stand a chance against Vlad, nodded.
"Crystal..." He said phasing out of the lab activating the tracking system.
"I will find you whelp and this time you and your new girlfriend won't escape from me..."Skulker said as he began to search for his prey.
Back with Danny
The depowered boy had just ran away from Phantasma. He ran as fast as he could and was now in a hallway, panting in exhaustion due to the kind of sprinting he has just done.
Once he caught his breath, his mind was processing what happened a few moments ago and he was having trouble accepting it as reality.
"What the heck came over me?!..."Danny said as he shakily touched his lips, as memories came back of the situation.
He couldn't believe that he had willingly kissed Phantasma. No, not kiss, he made out with her and pretty much made her fall for him even more. He even FRENCH KISSED her of all things.
He has never done anything like that before!
It was all so strange, it was all a hazy thing but he can remember the things he did and the things he felt at the time and he shuddered.
The things he thought. What came out of his mouth and came INTO his mouth. It was out of character for him.
"What did I do to deserve this?!..."Danny thought miserably as he felt anxious.
"Darn it, now Phantasma is going to be harder to let down...'Danny groaned, wondering what in the world possessed him to do that stuff.
"What the heck was wrong with me?! Why did I act like that?!..."Danny thought, trying to make sense of this very bizarre situation.
Then he remembered something
"Wait a minute...It happened after I drank that stuff... was it some kind of love potion?..." He asked himself.
"Danny! Where are you?..." A certain voice called out in a sing-song tone.
"Where's Clockwork when you need him?!..."Danny thought in dread.
He would have to figure this out later, right now he has to hide before Phantasma finds him and he acts weird again.
Danny ran through the hallways as he tried to find an exit.
In a hallway of doors, Danny went trial and error, opening each door, one at a time but each door yielded something creepy that became more horrific than the last.
He opened one door and saw a large, man eating plant about to reach him, before he slammed it.
"Not the exit..."He said as he ran to the next one.
He opened it and inside was a large lion, which roared and charged but the boy managed to slam shut before he became cat food.
"Not the exit..."He muttered.
He opened the last door, only to see Phanty with a love struck gaze.
"Hello there, Handsome~..." she said with a very sultry voice.
Danny closed the door on her and ran away.
"Definitely not the exit!..."He shouted as he ran away again.
The Grimwood Ghouls
As Phanty chased after Danny, her friends were all gossiping.
"I must say, if all human boys are that romantic, then maybe I should find one to date..."Sibella said, recalling how romantic Danny was to Phanty.
"Isn't he a ghost like her?...'Tannis asked.
"Duh...He's half ghost, so he is part ghost, part human..."Elsa explained.
"I did hear that he started out human though..."Winnie continued.
"It's too bad though, the only other half ghost out there is too old and I hear that he is a real jerk too..."Sibella said in disgust.
Tannis, the youngest and most naive, spoke up again.
"Don't worry Sibella...I'm sure you'll find someone...maybe Danny has some friends he can introduce you to..."Tannis said.
Sibella paused before she smiled at that though.
"Hmmm...maybe..."The vampire said with interest.
Back with Danny
"After this, I'm so not going to watch another horror movie ever again..." Danny muttered as he went through another hallway and stopped in the middle. "Then again, I do fight ghosts. So that sounds pointless..."He continued.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!..."
Danny then heard a cackling, dreamy voice echoing.
"Where are you, my haunting hunk? Your spooky beauty is getting lonely!..."Phantys voice echoed, sending chills up Danny's spine
"I gotta hide...Gotta hide..."Danny said, panting.
Danny went to a room with an organ on the wall.
He was confused but said this.
"I'm glad that's the musical kind..." He commented with dread.
Having no powers was seriously taxing on him. Not to mention all this running was exhausting him.
However, to his horror, Phantasma came through the walls and sat down at the organ.
"You wanna hear me play? I wrote you another song, sweetie..." Phanty said with a glint in her eyes.
Danny screamed as he was now hearing wedding tunes in his head.
He ran away again.
"Now I know how Sam felt when she was with Aragon..." Danny muttered as he went to the living room area and saw windows that lead outside.
"An exit!..." Danny exclaimed.
But when he looked outside, he saw a moat, which also had a two headed shark swimming in it.
So the ghost boy opened the door to see a wooden wall.
"Seriously?!...Is this the house they film horror movies in?!..."The ghost boy exclaimed.
Danny was fed up with this.
He heard a cackling Phanty behind him.
"Found you!..."She shouted.
"Gah!..." Danny shouted as he braced himself against the wall.
"There you are, my spicy specter..."Phanty said in a tone that scared him more than the first time he faced against the Fright Knight.
Phantasma had her hands on his side. Without his powers or any of his parent's equipment, Danny wasn't sure what he should do but his eyes did not let Phanty out of their sight. It was the only way to be ready for whatever she had in mind.
"I SWEAR! I'll never peek at girls in the locker room again if I get out of this!..."Danny thought as the ghoul wrapped her arms around him again.
He tried to think of something and fast.
"Listen...uh..." Danny had to try something...
"I'm sure your friends can see us here. Why don't you find somewhere else and I'll follow you...later..."He tried.
He's desperate at this point.
Phanty turned around, her head spun to a 180 degree she rotated a full 360 degrees. Danny honestly was not freaked out by this to be honest.
"These ghost fighting days are really starting to affect how I think...I mean I just made out with a ghost girl..." Danny thought, before Phanty answered him...
"I don't think they followed me, so we have plenty of time..." the banshee said with a sultry grin.
"Oh boy..." Danny knew what was coming next.
That's when his face was peppered by her lips.
"MUAH! MUAH! MUAH!..."
"W-wait!..." He called out as Phanty smooched his face but was largely ignored.
"Oh Danny..." Phanty said with a voice brimming with so much sultry affection that Danny was now sure she wanted more than just a kiss.
Such a thought made him sweat and tremble and not in a good way.
"Um, I think I'm a little young for this kind of action..." Danny said with a nervous smile and tons of sweat.
However, Phanty stopped and let him go for a moment. She then looked at him with a blush...
"So am I..."she said..
"What?..."Danny was now confused.
"I don't want to go beyond kissing..." Phanty now looked to him. "I would save the rest for marriage. I'm not that kind of ghoul, ya know..."She said, almost sounding offended.
Danny blinked with a stupefied look.
"I honestly respect that..."Danny said, relieved that she won't go that far.
However, Phanty soon sent him that lovesick smile again.
"And that's what makes you sure a GREAT boyfriend..."Phanty said, in lovesick mode again.
"I was afraid you would say that..." Danny gulped before he spoke those words.
He then saw a mischievous smirk came to her face...
"You are...even if you're such a tease..."Phanty said in a coy tone.
"W-what?..."Danny said, sweating even more now.
"Don't be coy, kissing me like that and then playing hard to get again..."Phanty said before looking mischievous as she floated even closer, practically nose to nose with him.
"Lucky for you...I love a man that plays hard to get..."Phanty said and Danny saw that strange glint in her eyes again.
"I have got to get out of here!..."Danny thought as he tried to think of an escape.
Even if he jumps out the window, it's a two story drop to the water and even if he lands in it, there is a two headed shark in it, so that's out.
However, Danny panicked when he saw her puckering her lips again and for once, he barely managed to dodge. Phanty giggled at this, still thinking this is just a game.
"C'mere, you cute lil spook..."Phanty said as she began making kissy faces at him .
Danny backed away while the ghoul just floated to him, her lips puckered out.
"Oh no... He thought in misery.
If he stays, it's going to be kiss o'clock for the rest of the evening and the window has certain death written on it...
He was trapped..
Danny did whatever he could to avoid it. He didn't want this. He didn't want her to jump him again. He didn't want her to kiss him so long that he nearly suffocates and he didn't want to deal with more of her black lipstick marks. He also REALLY didn't want to have a relapse of whatever made him act so strange around her.
He attempted to make a break for it, but Phanty had her arms around him, blocking him.
"No need to be shy with me! This way, it'll help you relax and stay calm!..." She said.
'This is not how to make me calm... He thought.
Then she inched closer.
Danny was so eager to avoid her lips that he didn't notice that he had walked backwards to where the window was...until.
"AHHH!..."Danny shouted as he began falling out of it.
Danny was now falling to the moat and fast. However, before he hit the water and became shark food, he had stopped falling.
"Huh?..."He said as he looked up to see that he was still in the air.
He soon saw that it was Phantasma, who was carrying him.
"You?..."He said in a surprised tone.
"Who else?.."Phanty asked.
"Your lovely girlfriend has your back..."She said sweetly.
They soon landed by the other side of the moat and Danny was panting heavily.
"You okay, Danny?..."Phanty asked, actually concern.
"I'm fine..."He said as he was taking in the situation.
"She just saved me again...okay, granted, the only reason I was even in trouble was BECAUSE of her...still..."Danny thought as he
"Thanks for catching me..."He said and Phanty giggled.
"Anything for you, you haunting hunk..." Phantasma said with glee before she linked arms with him..."If you're ever in trouble, you can count on the lovely Phantasma..."She said in a sweet way.
"She would still help me after everything?..." Danny asked no one but himself.
It made Danny feel a little guilty.
"This is going to make turning her down even harder..."Danny thought as he needed to get away and think.
Unfortunately, Phantasma wouldn't give him that time it seems, as she got all lovey dovey again.
"Now where were we?..."Phanty said and Danny gulped, realizing that he is STILL in her mercy, even if he is officially outside of that crazy school.
He backed away, realizing that he is still in the clutches of a lovesick ghoul and for all he knows, he is going to act just as crazy as he did earlier if he doesn't watch himself.
"What am I going to do? If she kisses me again, who knows what will happen?...'Danny thought as he backed away.
Just what was in THAT potion he drank? Why'd it make him want to kiss Phantasma like that?
He needed to get out of here before he did something like that again.
She did seem to finally notice his hesitance and raised a brow.
"Are you all right, my haunting hunk?..." She asked, sounding worried.
This made Danny groaned and feel worse.
"Why couldn't she be evil or just be using me to make some monster boy jealous like Kitty did?...'Danny thought before sighing.
He needs to get out of here and think before something else happens.
"Look Phantasma...I...I...I need a moment to myself..." Danny stammered out, nervously.
Phanty raised a brow at that, but, by some miracle, she let him go.
"I guess you are still a little shaky from that fall..."She said.
"Y-Yeah..something like that..."Danny said.
"Okay, but hurry back..."Phanty said.
Danny then started walking and as soon as he couldn't see her, he started running as fast as he could, trying to get as much distance between him and Grimwood as possible.
"How much longer until I get my powers back?!...'Danny thought as he kept running.
