In this chapter, Sam is going to get a unexpected job offer. Well, she doesn't really have a choice. Like Danny, she needs to protect Amity Park from the numerous threats that are invading it. However, in her case, she ACTUALLY caused those threats. Ironic, eh?

Also, she's going to get used to being a vampire. Fortunately, she knows where she can get some more blood whenever she's in vampire form.

Chapter 4: Unexpected Job

Sam woke up from her slumber. She was feeling quite surprised. Not only had she become half-vampire (similar to how Danny became half-ghost), she was actually strong enough to hold her own against him.

Of course, it probably helped that she already knew about most of his powers since she hung out with him all the time.

"Was this all some sort of strange dream?" questioned Sam.

She decided to try transforming into a vampire again.

For a moment, it seemed like nothing was going to happen.

"Huh. I guess it was a dream. Well, I guess I'll just resume my normal life and-"

Suddenly, she felt her fangs growing in. She noticed that once again she was wearing red gloves and was feeling the thirst for blood.

"Wow. I guess it really WASN'T a dream." noted Sam.

Curious, she noticed that there wasn't a cloud in the sky today. It was really sunny.

"Wait...since I'm a vampire, does that mean sunlight kills me?" inquired the vampire girl.

She then noticed that she was standing directly into the sunlight.

"Uh-oh." said Sam.

Fortunately, it turned out that sunlight actually DIDN'T kill her.

"Huh. I was expecting to at least get a sunburn or something." noted the vampire.

However, she did note that in her vampire form she felt rather sleepy during the day. Perhaps vampires were simply a nocturnal species.

On the other hand, she had a tendency to stay up late BEFORE she became a vampire.

At that very moment, her parents started to knock on her door.

"C'mon, honey! It's a beautiful day outside! You don't want to miss it!" exclaimed her mother.

"I don't think that my parents want to know that I'm a vampire..." noted Sam. As if it wasn't ironic enough that she was a goth whose parents were almost always cheerful, now she was a vampire growing up in a cheery environment.

"How do I turn myself back to normal again?" thought the girl.

Fortunately, she was able to do it rather quickly this time. Interestingly, her transformations were indicated by red smoke appearing when she became a vampire and black smoke when she turned back to her regular self. She was starting to feel a bit like a checkerboard.

Deciding to satisfy her parents, she decided to open the door and enjoy the fresh air and how sunny it was outside, even if going out in the sunlight seemed like the last thing a vampire would do.

"Alright, mom. Let's go outside." stated Sam.

"Splendid!" exclaimed her mother.

Immediately, Sam went along with her mother and father, who were looking at the sun while wearing shades.

"What a nice sunny day..." remarked her father.

"Please let there be a solar eclipse, please let there be a solar eclipse..." murmured Sam.

Unfortunately, a solar eclipse did not happen.

"Darn it." stated the girl.

"By the way, you should go to school soon. Wouldn't want Mr. Lancer to be unhappy with you." suggested Sam's father.

Sam smiled. Maybe there was a dark corner in the school somewhere where she could relax away from all the sunlight.

Immediately, she began to make her way towards her school.

In the hallway, she saw Danny Phantom.

"Hi, Danny!" exclaimed Sam.

"Hey Sam...how's the vampire powers?" inquired Danny.

"Pretty good...though I suppose I shouldn't have bitten people and drank their blood..." answered the vampire.

"And yet you lecture me about me being irresponsible with my powers..." stated the phantom.

"Yeah...that was easy for me to say back when I was still human..." noted Sam.

"Still, the urge to drink blood IS rather hard to control..."

"Well, you seemed to enjoy drinking mine..." acknowledged Danny.

"Yes, I did." nodded Sam.

"Well, if you want I suppose you could drink more of my blood if you wanted to...just make sure not to make me pass out, alright? I might need to do ghost hunting later." answered the phantom.

"Thank you, Danny!" exclaimed the vampire.

Immediately, she hugged Danny.

Shortly afterwards, they both began to blush. Sam decided to let go of Danny before she got too embarrassed.

"By the way, thanks for saving me from that cyclops." stated Danny. If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have ended well.

"Well, I suppose after all the times that you saved me I figured you would want to cash in a favor..." noted Sam.

"You've got a point there...and yet, it didn't seem to be a ghost. What exactly was it?" inquired the ghost boy.

"I haven't seen anything like it before." nodded the vampire girl. Amity Park was starting to become even weirder than normal.

Anyways, it was time for class.

"Wait, I didn't accidentally turn Mr. Lancer into a vampire, did I?" inquired Sam.

At that very moment, Mr. Lancer came in wearing a vampire costume.

"Aah! What have I done?!" exclaimed the girl.

"Good morning class. Today there was a mixup at the dry-cleaners and they switched my outfit with that of some Halloween fanatic..." explained Mr. Lancer.

Sam sighed in relief. But what about Dash and Paulina?

Curious, she looked around, and noticed Dash had vampire fangs!

Sam gasped in shock.

"Like my vampire dentures?" asked Dash to Sam.

Immediately, he took them out.

Sam sighed in relief once again. But had Paulina gotten infected?

Sam turned to Paulina...and noticed that her skin was pale.

Sam's jaw dropped on the floor.

Suddenly, Paulina wiped off her face.

"Whoops! I think I put on too much makeup!" exclaimed Paulina.

"Whew..." said Sam. Apparently she hadn't created any vampire followers after all.

"Well, that's a relief. I was starting to worry that I was going to turn the entire school into the legion of the walking dead." thought the vampire to herself.

How horrifying that would have been.

"Today we shall be learning about bats..." explained Mr. Lancer.

Immediately, Mr. Lancer handed each of them a paper detailing what they needed to know about bats.

Sam couldn't help but chuckle. At this point she knew about them like the back of her hand...or maybe her wing. It depended on whether she shapeshifted or not.

"Is something funny, Miss Manson?" asked her teacher.

"Oh, nothing, nothing at all!" exclaimed Sam.

"Hmph." grumbled Mr. Lancer.

About thirty minutes later, it was the end of class.

"Is it just me, or is Mr. Lancer our only teacher?" asked Danny.

"Yeah...it's as if he's principal, gym teacher, math teacher, you get the idea..." noted Sam.

It felt quite weird.

Well, now that was class was over, it looked like they wouldn't be seeing him again until tomorrow.

"What do you think he does after the students leave the classroom?" inquired Sam.

"He probably comes up with new ways to torture us." answered Danny.

Meanwhile inside Mr. Lancer's classroom...

"Well, that's it for today's class. Now it's time for me to actually do something fun." remarked Mr. Lancer.

Immediately, Mr. Lancer pulled out a remote.

He pressed a button and suddenly a disco ball appeared.

Also, he turned off the lights.

He then put on a disco uniform and began to dance.

"Oh yeah! FUNKY TOWN!" bellowed Mr. Lancer.

We now return to Danny and Sam...

"We're probably better off not knowing." said Sam.

"Yeah..." nodded Danny.

However, as they started to walk back home, they suddenly heard rustling in the bushes.

"Did you hear something?" asked the boy.

"It's probably n-"

Suddenly, Sam's eyes began to glow red.

"Sam! You alright?" asked Danny.

"Yeah, I think so. My vision was flashed with red for a moment there..." stated Sam. Did this have something to do with her vampire powers?

Shortly afterwards, she heard Mr. Lancer shouting the title of a book out loud...as usual.

"The Goblins Of Labyrinth!" bellowed Mr. Lancer.

"Should we check on him?" asked Sam.

"You do that. I'm heading home." answered Danny.

"OK..." stated the goth girl.

Curious, Sam took a peek through the window to see what was going on.

As it turned out, there were three goblins making a mess out of Mr. Lancer's office. Several desks had been tipped over, books had been ripped, and pencils had been snapped.

Up until now, Sam thought that goblins only existed in fairy tales.

Speaking of Mr. Lancer, he was currently hiding behind a desk. Apparently, he was scared out of his mind.

"I better do something about all this." thought Sam.

Immediately, she decided to transform into a vampire.

But before she did so, she wondered if she should say a battle cry. It seemed appropriate.

"I'm going vampire!" exclaimed Sam.

"You do realize that's essentially MY catchphrase, right?" asked Danny.

"Danny? I thought you were going home." questioned the girl.

"I forgot my backpack." explained the boy.

"Oh...alright then. Vampire up!" exclaimed Sam.

"HEY!" bellowed a nearby half-Chinese American preteen boy with spiky hair who lived in New York City as its protector who was dressed in a red jacket and was wearing blue cargo shorts.

"Sorry, Jake Long." apologized the goth girl.

Sam continued to think of a catchphrase that was original.

Finally, she thought of something.

"I'm going out for blood!" exclaimed Sam.

Jake Long and Danny Fenton applauded.

Shortly afterwards, she transformed into a vampire.

She then went to rescue Mr. Lancer from those demented goblins.

"Alright you little green-skinned troublemakers, it's time for you to face a creature of the night!" exclaimed Sam.

As soon as the goblins saw Sam in her vampire form, they cowered in fear.

"That's right, you should be afraid of me!" bellowed the vampire.

Immediately, Sam wondered what she should do with them.

She then remembered that she still had the Monstronomicon...the book that was indirectly responsible for giving her powers in the first place.

Opening up the book, all three of the goblins were sucked inside.

She then closed the book shortly afterwards.

"Is it safe to come out now?" asked Mr. Lancer.

"I guess." nodded Sam.

Curious, Mr. Lancer slowly peeked from his desk.

He then screamed in shock.

"Bram Stoker's Dracula! A bloodthirsty vampire!" screamed Mr. Lancer.

Immediately, his teeth began to chatter.

"Whoops..." thought Sam to herself. She forgot that vampires gave people nightmares.

Well, now it was time to head back home. She turned into a bat and flew her way there.

Afterwards, she changed back to her human form. Fortunately, the smoke she generated when transforming back didn't get into her lungs.

"Good to have you back!" exclaimed Sam's Mother.

"Good to see you too." nodded Sam.

Since her day had been crazy once again, Sam decided to visit her room.

However, much to her surprise, there was a ghost there.

"So much for enjoying the rest of my day." remarked Sam.

"Do you have any idea what you've done, young lady?!" exclaimed the ghost.

Taking a look at the ghost, she noticed that he was wearing glasses and was dressed in a red labcoat, similar to what Jack and Maddie Fenton typically wore. Also, he had a black mustache and short hair, and was shorter than she was.

"I don't know what I've done!" bellowed the girl.

"You don't know what you've done?! You let every single monster I imprisoned in this book out and let them wander free!" screamed the ghost.

At that very moment, she realized who the author was.

"Frank Romero? Is that you?" inquired Sam.

"Yes, it is I, Frank Romero! The fabled monster hunter! And you, young lady, have undone my life's work!" bellowed Frank Romero.

"That's a bad thing, isn't it?" asked the teenage girl.

"You bet it is! You had better put all the monsters you released back inside or I'm going to haunt your house forever!" exclaimed the ghost.

"You do realize that I can just call my friend Danny and he'll use the Fenton Thermos to send you to the Ghost Zone, right?" asked Sam.

Frank Romero gasped.

Quickly, he grabbed Sam.

"Please! Put the monsters back in the book! I'll do anything!" screamed the author of the Monstronomicon.

"Alright, but I don't know how I'm going to catch them a-"

Suddenly, Sam's eyes glowed red again.

"That glow..." stated Sam.

Suddenly, she noticed a heckhound chewing on her socks.

"Hey! Those are mine!" exclaimed the girl.

The heckhound started barking at her.

Frustrated, she pulled out the Monstronomicon and trapped the dog inside of it.

"I'm starting to wonder if I have some sort of monster sense..." answered Sam.

"Apparently you do!" exclaimed Frank.

Curious, Frank directed Sam to the window where a minotaur was reading a newspaper.

Sam's eyes turned red again.

He then directed her to a nearby bookcase where a fairy was sleeping.

Sam's eyes turned red yet again.

Finally, he pointed underneath a rug where a gremlin was scratching the floor.

Once again, Sam's eyes turned red.

"Ah-ha! You do have a monster sense!" bellowed Frank Romero.

"Can you please stop that? It's getting annoying..." stated Sam. Now that she thought of it, this was rather similar to Danny's ghost sense.

As soon as the monsters noticed Sam held the Monstronomicon, they all fled.

"Smart." acknowledged the vampire girl.

"Well, you probably know what to do. Just put all the monsters back into the book and we'll forget this whole thing ever happened." said Frank Romero.

Suddenly, Sam's dad knocked on the door.

"Honey, is everything alright in there?" stated Sam's dad.

"If you need me I'll be in this poster...someone's a real goth." remarked Frank Romero.

"I know." nodded Sam.

Immediately, he went into a nearby poster, causing it to resemble Frank back when he was still alive.

"I liked that poster." complained the girl.

"Is everything alright?" asked Sam's dad.

"Everything's fine." nodded Sam.

"Good!" exclaimed Sam's father.

Immediately, he went to watch TV.

"I've got a lot of work to do." remarked the vampire girl.

She was starting to know how Danny felt.

Oh dear...it looks like Sam did something very naughty when she read from that book. Well, now she needs to hunt down all the monsters and put them back inside their book where they belong. She doesn't want them causing any trouble.
