know, I have gone through it. Thank you very much for your time.

Chapter 7

A week later, Rosa still hadn't returned to school. The teachers were beginning to get concerned. Not only that, but her parents were as well. She would not allow anyone in her room and strange screams would come from her room abruptly in the middle of the night. Her parents and sister contacted Danny, Sam and Tucker constantly. But they could only do so much. Danny feared that his words had meant nothing to Rosa. That she was too far- gone to be reached. He knew she was depressed, shocked and scared. That would be a dangerous combination of emotions for a 15-year-old girl. He had a feeling that she might commit suicide. But he also knew she wouldn't give Desdemona the satisfaction of her winning. But still, he wondered what other things she would dare to do to herself. Sam wasn't too worried, but she was kind of. She knew what people did to their selves under the circumstances. She remembered when Danny first got his powers. She still kept a stone face. She would not let Rosa's problems get to her too much. After all, there was nothing she could do. Tucker, although worried, kept a positive attitude. He believed what Danny did. But still was worried for his new friend.

Danny had tried to keep himself stable through the whole week. But deep down, he wanted to know if Rosa was all right. He knew what it was like to be a halfa like she was. Even if he didn't know what it was like to have a demon control her body. But he would not give up. That night he couldn't think of anything else but how she was doing. Now that he was thinking about her, he thought about how cute she looked as Rosa Specter. Her black hair and bright pink eye, the pink and black suit tight around her body. Also when she blushed, she always turned invisible. He felt so-

"Danny!" his fathers voice boomed from downstairs.

"What?!" Danny jumped out of bed.

"Theres someone for you on the Fenton Ghost tracking walkie talkie!" Danny rolled his eyes. That was dad, thinking the phone was the Fenton Ghost tracking walkie Talkie. He hurried down and picked up the phone, thinking it was Sam or Tuck.

"Hello?"

"Danny?" He froze. That was Rosa. She sounded frightened and weak.

"Rosa?! Are you alright?! You didn't do anything drastic did you?"

"You told me once to call you w-when I wanted t-to t-talk?" Her voice was faltering many times. This worried him.

"Yes." He replied. "Want me to come over?"

"Yes, and Danny, please hurry..." With that, all Danny heard was the dial tone.

....................................................................................

Rosa crumpled to her knees and put her head in her hands. What had she just done?!

"Don't worry about it." Desdemona smirked.

"How could you?! You took me over to make that call!!"

"Yes, and now that I am powerful enough, Danny Phantom will DIE!"

"No!" Rosa shrieked. "I wont let you!"

Rosa felt herself glow bright pink and her inside glow a vibrant pink as well. Desdemona expected this.

"Your powers can't stop me!" With a wave of her hand, she knocked away Rosa's vengeance and sucked up all of her negative energy. Rosa felt herself curl up like a little girl and wish it all went away.

"Because you are soo full of doubt and sadness now, you belong to me forever!" Desdemona cackled.

"Danny, no it's a trap." Rosa weakly cried out in her mind. But she knew he wouldn't be able to hear.

Desdemona once again had control fully of Rosa's body. For now and forever more. ..........................................................................................

Danny had been running to Rosa's house for the last two minutes, he knew that whatever Rosa had planned, it was dangerous. He got to her house and went inside. He ran to her room and pounded forcibly on the door. When no one answered he threw it open to see Rosa on the floor. She was crying and holding something sharp. It was a pair of scissors. He leaped from the door entrance, changed into Danny Phantom and landed on top of her, forcibly tearing the scissors from her grasp.

"What were you thinking?!" He shouted at her.

"It was the only way." She said lifelessly.

Danny felt himself hold back a sob. She really was too far-gone.

While distracted, he had yet to notice a floating bat behind him.

He saw her eye suddenly come to life and her mouth open into a gasp. "Danny look out!" she cried and shoved him off her. The bat floated around near him. He dodged it as best as he could. Meanwhile, Rosa stood up and grinned evilly. She transformed into Rosa Specter. She flew her arms out and other objects came crashing at Danny. A jump rope flew and tied him up. Socks instantly covered his eyes and his feet firmly bound by a chord that was still plugged into the wall.

"What are you doing Rosa?!" he was scared.

"Merely what I wanted to do for a long time Danny Phantom." She laughed. He suddenly realized this was not Rosa, but Desdemona. He had one choice. He had to use up her magic. Quickly he turned intangible and disappeared through the wall. Desdemona followed. He flew around.

"Hey! Demon for brains! Try to get me!" he called from up near the ceiling. Enraged she tried to blast him many times, he grinned as he dodged each attack. After a while though, he realized she had a lot more power this time than she had before. He had started to get tired. .................................................................................

Tucker and Sam had gotten together, worried about Rosa and Danny.

"We have to go help!" Tucker exclaimed.

"No we would just be of no use." Sam sighed. "We need help. I know exactly who to call."

A couple minutes later a small girl walked through Sam's front door. She was around 13. She had black hair and sea green eyes. She had the normal figure of a 13 year old, but wore a black cape around her purple skirt and black tank top.

"This is your help?" Tucker looked at Sam.

The small girl frowned. "Whether you believe it or not, I have highly powerful magic!" The girl said, sticking her head up proudly in the air.

"Erm, Tucker, this is Cassandra. She's a very powerful witch and close friend to the family." Sam introduced.

Cassandra grinned. "Call me Cass for short."

Tucker for once was speechless.

Sam explained the situation to Cass.

She sighed. "It doesn't sound good. I will do what I can." She pulled from her robe a crystal ball. Tucker almost doubled over in laughter.

"You're a crack pot! No real decent witch would use a crystal ball!"

Cass's green eyes glowed a dangerous color.

Tucker instantly shut up.

Sam looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry Cass. He isn't very good with keeping his mouth shut."

"Hey!"

Cass felt herself smile. She nodded and set the crystal ball down. She threw some strange dust from a nearby pouch onto the ball and closed her eyes. She concentrated and finally the ball began to glow. Sam and Tucker stared wide-eyed at the strange occurrence. Cass opened her eyes and looked straight into the ball, soon they all could see the scene played before them. Danny getting into the house, then him pinning her down, up to the part where he was starting to get tired by flying around too much.

Cass looked sadly down. "There isn't much I can do, but hope that Rosa makes the one choice that would save us all, but sacrifice her own life."

"No...you don't mean..." Sam started.

Cass looked away.

"I'm sorry, but she would have to kill herself."
