Author's Note: Sorry to everyone for updating so late! Work was murder, especially when I haven't had a day off since last Tuesday. It was also hard because I kept getting all these great ideas for new stories if I decide to continue with the idea of Sam being a Halfa. So I put it out to you all, should I make a series of 'For the Love of the Halfa'? If so, I would love to hear some of your ideas for stories. Now, in this chapter I poke fun at all those PoTC fanfic fans, but this is all in good fun because I am one of those people. So please no yelling at me for that! Also, a note of the collar. I got a review saying that it reminded them of the hall pass from Invader Zim. When I wrote that I honestly wasn't thinking about that, but yes, it is just like that! Thank you again for all of your reviews! Maybe if I get to a hundred I will post another drawing for you all. Anyway, enjoy the next chapter and keep on reviewing!
-- Author Note -- (July 4) Hey again. As of right now I have 99 reviews. I cannot thank you guys enough for the reviews. I can't believe how well this story is going! As promised, I have drawn a new Danny Phantom picture. I can tell you all right now, that you will –love- this one. I still have to ink it and color it, and then scan it into the computer. But all that's easy, so it should be done by the time the next chapter is posted. Of course this only matters if I get one more review. Thanks again to everyone who reviewed, and everyone who read this fanfic. I love you guys!!!
Chapter 8 Help Me!
The Box Ghost led Sam up on deck. She had to shield her eyes from the sudden burst of light. The sun was just beginning to set, but it was still fairly bright.
"Stay here, yarr. While I go and get your orders. Yarr!" the Box Ghost said before walking off to the Captain's quarters.
Sam looked around the ship. It kinda reminded her of that one pirate movie that had come out last year with those two hot actors that everyone at school was talking about. She noticed that they were a few miles away from the pier. Thank you, she thought. This will make things easier if I manage to escape from this ship.
Turning back to finish looking around the ship Sam noticed a girl on her hands and knees scrubbing the floors. She only looked a few years older than Sam.
Looking around the deck quickly, Sam noticed that there was something strange about this girl compared to the other members of the crew that were on deck. She looked... alive.
"Hello?" Sam asked walking over to the girl. This caused the red haired girl to jump. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
This girl just stared at Sam for a moment. "He-hello."
"What's your name?" Sam asked kneeling down next to her.
"My name's Mandy. You must be the new addition," the girl said her eyes falling on the collar around Sam's neck.
"Yeah..." Sam paused, wondering if she should ask Mandy why she seemed to be the only one alive on board.
Before she could make up her mind Mandy answered her question for her. "I was only brought aboard a few days ago. Captain Rurik likes to wait before changing you. I guess he enjoys breaking you in. The collar if just the first step."
"How did you get yours off?"
"Well, I guess the captain decided that I wasn't a threat of trying to escape. After you get so far away from home you start to lose any hope of escaping."
After asking Mandy where she was from, Sam found out that she was from a small city on the coast of California. Where have I heard that city from before, Sam questioned herself, sure that she had heard someone mention that place before. It was a moment before Sam realized that she had heard it on the news, along with the name of this girl. Everyone thought that she was a run away. She decided not to mention this to Mandy, in case it might upset her.
"How did you come aboard? Did that squid go after you too?"
"No, I almost wish he had. I wouldn't have all this guilt to live with then, you know?"
"So what happened?"
Mandy explained to Sam that a couple days ago she had been out for a walk on the beach and saw the ship about two miles out. It looked just like the Black Pearl, so she grabbed a rowboat and heading out to the ship.
"Why would you go after a pirate ship?"
"Because! Ever since the movie came out I haven't been able to stop reading the fanfics where they put you aboard the Black Pearl and you fall in love with Jack Sparrow. I thought that maybe it was coming true. I thought that I would find Jack Sparrow and he would fall in love with me and we would sail the seven seas together."

"You ready Danny?" Tucker asked.
Danny nodded. "I'm going ghost!" In a flash of light he was transformed into his alter ego, Danny Phantom. He touched off of the ground and grabbed Tucker before flying them off towards the ship.
"Have I ever mentioned to you that I'm afraid of water?" Tucker asked, looking down at the ocean below them.
"No, why?" Danny questioned him.
"Because I think I will be if you drop me!"
Danny laughed, "I'm not going to drop you. Or maybe I will."
"Don't!"
Danny laughed harder and flew down closer to the water.
"This isn't funny Danny!"
"Sure it is," Danny said going low enough for the toes of Tucker's shoes to touch the water.
"I'll get you back for this! Now can we please stop fooling around?"
"Yeah, yeah. All right."
"Umm, Danny. You can go higher anytime now."
"Umm, Tuck?"
"Yeah?"
"I can't. Something's grabbed us."
"That's not funny. Stop goofing off and go higher."
"I'm serious Tuck."
Tucker looked over his shoulder to see that Danny was telling the truth. A great tentacle had grabbed onto Danny's legs.
Danny tried pulling harder, but they were completely stuck to the tentacle. He couldn't even faze out of it. Something was seriously wrong.
"Tucker, I can't faze out of it!"
"It must be Enialis!"
As soon as Tucker said it's name the head of the squid rose out of the water.
"Please don't eat us!" Tucker cried while covering his eyes.
Enialis blinked a couple times. "I have no intention of eating you," a voice boomed from the squid.
"Really?" Tucker asked, peeking out from behind his hands.
"Then what do you want with us?" Danny asked.
Enialis raised another tentacle to the surface of the water and set the two boys on it. "I need your help. You are the Halfa, are you not?"
"Well, one of them," Danny said.
"Why do you need our help?" Tucker asked.
"For thousands of years Captain Rurik and his crew have been chasing me. I just want to be left in peace. I need you to try and talk to him and get him to leave me alone."
"Why should we help you? You transformed one of my friends into a Halfa by pulling her into the ghost zone!" Danny said getting slightly annoyed.
"I am sorry about that. I never meant to hurt her, honestly. I was actually hoping to grab you, Danny Phantom."
Great, Danny thought. The squid screws up and Sam's the one that has to pay.
"Will you please help me?"
"I suppose we could try talking to Rurik. I'm not making any promises though, all right?"
"I understand. Thank you so much!"
