Hi! Here's Chapter 14!
Chapter 14: In the Graveyard
Danny and Tucker had been following Sam for quite a while. They were going into a part of town that their parents had shouted at them for going into before. Then, they stopped.
Sam was going into the Amityville Graveyard. Before Danny got his ghost powers, he used to think that the place was cool. Now, he thought it was creepy.
"Are we going in?" Tucker said.
"Oh yeah." So the twosome went through the rusty gate and into the yard. It was creepy-there were tombstones every five feet, and in no particular order. Some were really old. Danny's ghost sense was going off like crazy, but he ignored it. Hey, it's a graveyard, there have to be ghosts everywhere!
A storm was coming. "Uhh...Danny?" Tucker said. "I think we should go."
"No," Danny said. "We're real close to finding out what's with Sam. I'm still going!"
They walked until they got to the very back. They heard some movement. About now, the two were so freaked they ran and hid behind the nearest huge tombstone. Danny dared to peek out.
Sam walked up to two gravestones near each other. Danny could now see what Sam was carrying: flowers. She knelt down, placed the flowers at the grave, and then walked away.
"Coast clear," he said to Tucker. The two got out from behind the stone and in front of the two Sam had placed flowers at. In horror, Danny read what it said. (To read what the tombstone said, paste this link into your browser: http:img36.exs.cx/img36/6058/da2.jpg )
"No..." Danny said. It couldn't be!
"HEY!"
Danny whirled around. Sam was standing there, and boy did she look mad! She stomped over to them like a crazy person and shouted angrily, "What are you doing here?!"
"Uhh...," Tucker said. "Looking?"
"You've been following me, haven't you?" she shouted. "You know my secret!"
"No sweat," Danny said. "So some relatives of yours are dead. So what?"
Sam looked nervous. Then suddenly, she had a terrified look on her face.
"Uhh, Sam?" Danny said.
"Don't move," Sam said. "There's something behind you."
Danny and Tuck turned around. Sure as pie, there was somebody behind them: Wilson. He had a wicked smile on his face. He floated over to Sam.
"Samantha, don't you understand?" Wilson said persuasively to her. "I love you. And I need you. Won't you come with me?"
"For the last time, NO!" Sam said. This made Danny think that Wilson hade made the offer to her many times.
"Then you leave me no choice." Wilson turned to Danny and Tuck. "Your so-called friends took the two most important things in my life away from me: my life, and you. And now, I'll take the second thing from them."
What happened next was branded onto Danny's mind forever. He would have nightmares about it happening again once a week for the rest of his life. But for now, he could only sit and watch.
"Ready to join your-"
"DON'T TELL THEM!"
"Ah, fine. I'll just get to it." With that, Wilson thrust his hand out and-
Well, Wilson didn't exactly kill Sam. What he did was similar to the Dementor's Kiss from Harry Potter. He put his hand through Sam's body- and pulled something out. It took shape, and the two could see that it looked exactly like Sam- if Sam was semitransparent and had greenish-purple eyes.
Meanwhile, Sam's body let out a bloodcurdling scream, then collapsed. The eyes rolled back into her head, and she lay there, motionless. Danny quickly rushed to her side. She had a pulse, and she was breathing fine. But she was lifeless. Wilson had taken her spirit out.
But being the slightly naïve guy that he is, Danny thought that she was dead, pulse or no pulse. "You, you... YOU BRING HER BACK!" he shouted.
"She isn't dead," Wilson said. "I just took her spirit out. A person can live without his or her spirit. You can keep the body as a souvenir. I'm taking the spirit." With that, Wilson- with Sam's terrified spirit in his hand, phased through the ground and got away.
Meanwhile, a few tombstones away, Melanie and another ghost (he looked a lot like Danny, but had clothes like Melanie's) looked on the situation. When they saw Sam's body, they gasped.
"No...," Melanie said worriedly...
Immediately, the two ghosts rushed to them. "What happened?" the male ghost said. Danny could only assume that he was Jason.
"Well," Tucker said, "A ghost came and took her spirit. She's not dead."
Melanie sighed. "Well, we have to go get her."
"But-we don't know where he went!" Danny said.
"There is a branch of ghost world underneath this soil," Jason said. "Wilson is buried here too. Chances are two to one she's been taken there."
"Then we gotta go!" Tuck said.
So, Melanie, Jason, Danny, Tucker, and Sam's body phased through the ground (Tucker and Sam's body had help) and into a strange spirit world...
Bye!
