In this chapter, Sam is going to start working on putting the monsters back in the book where they belong. However, she's going to gain the interest of another half-vampire...just like Danny got the attention of another half-ghost. Sometimes history repeats itself.

Chapter 5: Unwanted Attention

Since Frank Romero had demanded it from her, Sam decided that she might as well put all the monsters that she had released from the book back inside where they belonged. Amity Park was already having enough problems as it was.

Immediately, she transformed into her vampire state. She doubted that she was going to have an easy time catching the monsters while she was in her human state.

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

Fortunately, she found one soon enough.

As it turns out, there was a slime monster eating out from the trash can.

He was eating rather ravenously. Somebody did not have any table manners.

Sam pulled out the book and sucked the slime monster inside.

Unfortunately, some of the slime got on her face.

"Darn it! I'm going to have to wash it off later." noted Sam as she pulled out a towel.

Personally Sam wondered if she should simply wait for the sun to go down since she wasn't a daytime person.

But she figured that it would be probably be best not to keep Romero waiting. He was going to get impatient with her if she wasn't doing her job. Since she had made a mess, she should be the one to clean it up, right?

She decided to look around to see if there were any monsters.

However, she then remembered that wasn't necessary.

"Oh, that's right...whenever there's a monster around my eyes turn red..." noted Sam.

Sure enough, her eyes turned red, indicating a monster's presence.

This time, it appeared to be some sort of gargoyle.

"Funny, aren't both vampires and gargoyles similar to bats?" inquired Sam.

The gargoyle nodded. They were fairly similar.

Sam once again opened the book and swallowed the gargoyle inside.

However, she got the feeling that some monsters would be harder to capture than others. Simply opening the book might not be enough for them.

At that very moment, what appeared to be a dragon showed up.

He looked ferocious, to say the very least. Not only that, but his scales were coated black and he had rather sharp-looking fangs. Also, his eyes were glowing red.

Immediately, he breathed fire on Sam.

Sam had in fact encountered dragons before...however, this one wasn't spectral at all.

Sam tried opening the book, but the dragon resisted the suction.

It looked like she was going to have to weaken him first.

Sam tried shooting the dragon with ectoplasmic rays.

Apparently, this was rather effective, because the dragon let out a roar.

"Your breath smells." complained Sam.

In retaliation, the dragon swatted Sam with his tail.

She was sent flying...but since she could turn into a bat that wasn't really something that she needed to worry about.

After doing that, she turned back into her vampire self and resumed fighting the dragon.

This time, she decided to try drinking his blood.

However, she quickly noted that the dragon's blood tasted rather spicy, so she stopped drinking it.

Getting angry, the dragon started trying to claw Sam in the face...but her reflexes were too good.

Immediately, she grabbed the dragon by the arm and tossed him into a nearby building.

"I hope I don't get sued for property damage." thought Sam.

Fortunately, the building was not too heavily damaged.

At this point, the dragon was feeling rather dizzy.

"Maybe now it's time for me to use the book." noted the vampire.

Immediately, she pulled out the Monstronomicon and used it to swallow up the dragon.

"Well, that's something for me to be proud of." stated Sam.

She decided to go tell Frank Romero the good news.

"I caught some monsters for you!" exclaimed the vampire girl.

"I have to admit, you're catching the monsters a lot faster than I ever did..." noted Frank Romero.

"Maybe it's because I have powers and you don't?" inquired Sam. She DID possess super speed.

"I might not have had powers when I was alive, but that doesn't mean I'm not tough." answered the monster hunter.

"I can see that." nodded the vampire girl. How else would he be able to catch all those beasties?

"I suppose it might also have to do with the fact that none of the monsters seemed to have left Amity Park..." suggested Frank Romero.

"Perhaps they like it here?" stated Sam.

"Possibly..." answered the ghost.

"By the way, what do you think I should call myself now that I've become a vampire heroine?" questioned the vampire.

"Maybe Sammi Bloodsucker?" suggested Frank Romero.

"I prefer Sam...but I think that will work out just fine." answered Sam. It had a ring to it.

Curious, Sam noticed that a local newspaper boy was handing out newspapers.

She decided to go see if there was anything interesting in the headlines.

As it turned out, Amity Park had acknowledged her heroics...though at the same time they seemed rather frightened of her.

Sure enough, there was her in the picture along with the defeated dragon.

"Well, I'm getting famous rather quickly." noted Sam.

She wondered if she could go tell Danny about it. She was starting to follow in his footsteps...which he didn't leave as a ghost.

Once again, it was almost time for school.

"Off I go." said Sam, transforming into a bat. She was starting to wonder if her bus driver was asking to himself why wasn't she taking the school bus.

Sure enough, Danny was heading to Mr. Lancer's class as well.

"Hey there, Danny. Did you read the newspaper?" asked Sam.

"I sure did! Way to go, Sam!" cheered Danny. It looks like Sam was doing a good job at being a vampire heroine...just like he was at being a phantom hero.

"Yeah...listen, the other day I got some bad news. You know the tomb close to Amity Park that we went to visit?" inquired the vampire girl.

"Yeah. What about it?" questioned the phantom.

"Well, I found this book and when I opened it I ended up unleashing a can of worms..." explained Sam.

"A can of worms? What's so bad about garden worms?" inquired Danny.

"I don't mean that literally." answered the vampire.

"Oh..." comprehended the ghost boy.

"Anyways, since I somehow managed to unleash all the monsters in that book, I need to send them back inside the book so that they don't cause any problems." explained Sam. Imagine all the destruction that they could use if Sam didn't do anything.

"How many monsters do you think were in that book?" inquired Danny.

"Enough to keep me busy for quite a while." answered Sam.

At that very moment, her eyes turned red.

"See? Here comes one now." said the heroine.

Sure enough, an angel showed up. She had a halo on her head and had white wings, and was wearing a white robe and sandals. She also had blonde hair and was skinny.

"An angel? What was THAT doing in your book?" questioned the phantom. He thought that angels were innocent.

"Technically, it's not my book...and I don't get it either." answered Sam.

"You are all going to be punished for your sins!" exclaimed the angel.

At that very moment, she turned to Dash, who was bullying a nerd.

Immediately, she zapped him with lightning, causing his hair to frizzle up.

"Ouch! Who are you?" asked Dash.

"It's Celesta...though I suppose you could also call me your worst nightmare." answered Celesta.

Dash gulped. Apparently his bullying career was over.

Celesta then turned to Paulina, who was bullying a girl who wasn't nearly as popular as she was.

She was laughing in her face.

In retaliation, Celesta zapped Paulina as well.

"Ow! That really hurt!" exclaimed the cheerleader.

"As much as I don't approve of Paulina and Dash's behavior, I think what Celesta is doing is a bit extreme..." answered Sam.

"You're right. I think they deserve a detention at the most. I'm going-"

Danny was interrupted when suddenly Jack and Maddie came in.

"Hello there son! How are you doing?" asked Jack.

"Check that. I'm NOT going ghost." answered Danny.

"You should probably leave this one to me." murmured Sam in Danny's ear.

Danny nodded.

Sam went into the janitor's closet, where the janitor was currently sleeping.

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

With a puff of red smoke, Sam turned into a vampire.

"Huh? What?" questioned the janitor as he woke up.

At that very moment, Kwan ate a candy bar...and left a wrapper on the floor.

Sure enough, Celesta got ready to zap him.

"Stop right there!" exclaimed Sam.

Celesta turned around to where the voice was.

"A vampire, eh? I heard all about you and your race! You're evil bloodsucking fiends! For that you must pay!" exclaimed Celesta.

"Thank goodness Danny was never like this." noted Sam to herself.

Immediately, Celesta began to shoot lightning bolts at Sam, hoping to shock the vampirism out of the poor girl.

But of course, Sam fought back with some energy bursts of her own, hitting Celesta in the face with ectoplasm.

"Ow! I'm going to bring you to justice!" bellowed Celesta.

"I'm not sure you know what justice means." answered Sam.

At that very moment, Jack and Maddie Fenton noticed Sam.

"It's another ghost! Time for me to pull out the Fenton Thermos!" exclaimed Jack.

Danny quickly realized that his father was wasting his time.

"Um...dad..." warned Danny.

"Not now son! I'm busy ghost hunting!" explained Danny's father.

"Never mind then." said the phantom.

Immediately, Danny's father aimed the Fenton Thermos at Sam.

"Ready, aim, fire!" exclaimed Jack Fenton.

But as before, the Fenton Thermos did not work on Sam at all.

"Darn it! The thermos is broken!" bellowed Jack.

Danny sweatdropped.

"Watch over the ghost while I go to fix this, will you Danny?" asked Danny's father.

"With pleasure." nodded Danny.

Immediately, Jack and Maddie Fenton went to go fix the Fenton Thermos.

"I'm going ghost!" exclaimed the phantom.

Sure enough, Danny transformed into his ghost side.

Meanwhile, Celesta was throwing halo rings at Sam, hoping that one of them would give her a nasty squeeze.

However, Sam simply transformed into a bat and flew through them.

"Maybe I should be in the circus." noted Sam. Then again, the last time she had visited a circus, it was being run by an evil ringmaster who was using his staff to hypnotize ghosts to rob banks so that he could be filthy rich. That had ultimately backfired on him.

Suddenly, Celesta found herself being shot in the face with an ectoplasmic ray.

"Ow! Not again! Quit playing with those!" exclaimed Celesta.

"That wasn't me." answered Sam. She had a good feeling who it was.

Sure enough, it was Danny.

"Two against one? That's it, I'm out of here!" bellowed the angel.

Immediately, Celesta attempted to fly away.

However, at that very moment, Sam decided to try something.

Quickly, she used her powers to create a whip...a whip that was red and made of ectoplasm.

She used it to grab onto Celesta's legs.

"Hey!" exclaimed Celesta.

She then used the book to swallow Celesta inside.

"I'll be back to make you suffer the consequences of your actions!" bellowed Celesta as she was swallowed inside.

Curious, Sam noticed there was a sticky note on one of the pages.

"Please note that sometimes monsters may end up escaping from the book. If that happens...well, you'll have to put them inside again." read Sam out loud.

"Maybe she isn't kidding." thought the heroine to herself.

"Well, I suppose that takes care of her...for now anyway. Anyways, as I said before, congratulations on being in the newspaper. Of course, I've been in several issues already...but I'm still proud of you." noted Danny.

"Thanks." nodded Sam.

And yet for some strange reason, she got the feeling that being in an issue of the newspaper wasn't entirely a good thing. She wondered why.

Meanwhile at a haunted mansion somewhere in Transylvania...

Inside a rather scary mansion, a woman was feeling rather frustrated.

This particular woman had blonde hair, was was wearing a sleeveless white dress, was wearing white gloves on her hands that went almost up to her elbows, and was wearing high heels that were colored like pearls.

Much like Vlad Masters, she was rather rich...though unlike Vlad, she did not resort to devious means in order to become rich. She in fact had an occupation prior that got her a lot of money.

But as she knew from experience, money could not buy happiness. Right now she was feeling upset.

At that very moment, her butler came in. He was a short man with brown hair and a mustache wearing a tuxedo and had a monocle on his left eye.

"Is something wrong, mistress?" asked the butler.

"Yes, there is. For years I've been searching for the book of Monstronomicon...and yet I've had as much luck finding it as I've had trying to find a decent channel on TV!" exclaimed the woman.

Immediately, she began to flip through the channels...not finding anything particularly interesting.

"Sorry to hear that. I'm sure you'll find it someday." answered the lady's servant.

"You keep saying that, but it's not making it any easier." said the woman.

"Anyways, do you have my paper?"

Her butler handed her the local newspaper.

"Let's see now..." stated the lady.

Immediately, her eyes opened in surprise.

Sure enough, there was a vampire on the headline picture...and in her back pocket was the Monstronomicon!

"Yes! I found it! I finally found it!" exclaimed the woman.

"You did?" asked the butler.

"It looks like my years of searching have finally paid off...now I just need to find the vampire girl..." answered the lady.

"But how are you going to do that?" inquired the servant. He didn't really know anything about her at all.

Curious, the woman decided to shuffle around the newspaper.

She discovered something else that was interesting.

Apparently, a teenage girl named Sam Manson had successfully managed to grow a giant beanstalk.

"I don't know how I did it!" exclaimed Sam Manson. In truth, she had exposed it to ectoplasm by accident.

Curious, the lady tried matching Sam up with the vampire in the picture.

She noted that the two of them looked quite similar.

"Hmm...I think I might know who this vampire girl is..." noted the lady.

"You do?" asked the butler.

"Why don't you send her an invitation to my mansion?" inquired his mistress.

"You got it!" exclaimed the man.

As he left the room, the lady began to smile.

"I've waited SO long for this." remarked the woman.

Well, Sam's starting to get the hang of things. But unfortunately it appears that someone has taken an interest in her, someone that's bad. It looks like Danny's not the only one whose going to have an arch-nemesis pretty soon.

In the next chapter, Sam's going to get an invitation to a mansion. But things aren't quite what they seem. And did I mention that the mansion is haunted? Spooky...but I suppose you can't expect much else from Danny Phantom OR its fanfics.

Also, when you remove the "I" from mansion you get Manson. Rather ironic for Sam considering where SHE'S going, huh?

I'll see you later.
