Danny barreled down the stairs. Sam was in process of running back to her room and they crashed into each other, falling to the floor.
"Sam? What's going on?" He asked, sitting up. Sam was laying on his chest, making it difficult. "She's here!" Sam cried, hiding her face in his shirt. 'This is so not like Sam' Danny thought helping her to her feet. Sam was normaly the one who stould her ground as Danny and Tucker cowered. But not this time. She continued to hide, begining to quiver. Danny did the only thing he could think of...
"Sam, it's OK. I'm here. I won't Emily hurt you," Danny whispered, wrapping his arms around her. "I promise." Sam wimpered, then looked up at her friend. His crystal eyes shown bright but seriously, and his embrace was soft and cormforting.
"Thank you, Danny." Sam whispered back. The door creaked open as she stepped away. In walked Tucker, (carrying his backpack) and the terrifing Emily. Danny gasped. Sam had a right to be afraid. Emily had filed teeth that resembeled a vampire in every aspect. Her Black and red streaked, knee length hair was pulled up in pig-tails. Her grey tank top appeared to have recently had blood smeared across the chest as the stain stood out like a neon sign. Her black Tripp brand skirt was short and seem in every way... well, sluty. A spiked choker hung loosly at her throut, matching rist cuffs on her arms. Tucker was drooling.
Sam screeched and jumped back into Danny's arms. Tucker burst with laughter. Sam shivered and pulled back. 'Be brave! BE BRAVE DAMN IT!!!' Her thoughts cried. She bit her lip and faced her cousin.
"Hello, little Sammy!" Emily said grinning evily. Sam gasped and Danny grabbed her hand. "H...hi, Emily.How have you been?" Sam choked out.
Her grip on Danny's hand tightened and he winced in pain but kept his hold. He wasn't going to leave her.
"Well oviously not as good as you!" Emily's grin widened. Sam's eyes widened as she relised was she was talking about. She hadn't really taken it to mind when Danny had grabbed her hand but it was too late now. Sam faked a grin and looked at Danny. He shugged lightly. "This is Danny. And Tucker is the one thats drooling." Sam said polietly as possible. Emily and Danny locked their gazes. She wasn't going to break him down with just a look from her icy grey eyes. "Oh yeah!" Emily said turning her eyes from Danny to the door. She whisled and three figures scutled in. A little girl wearing a teddy-bear costume and twin brothers obedantly took their places behind Emily.
"This is Hannah, Charlie and Ethan. They are my adopted brothers and sister."Emily said smugly. Hannah couldn't be more than five and Charlie and Ethan were about eleven. " Oh! Emily, it's good to see you!" Mrs. Manson cried stepping out of the kitchen and hugging her niece.
Sam, Danny and Tucker took the oportunity to head for Sam's room. "Danny and Sam sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N..."Tucker sang once they were in the saftey of Sam's room. "Shut up!" Sam screamed. Danny snicked as Tuck seemed to shrink in horror and turned quickly to his backpack that sat on the edge of Sam's bed. Sam turned back to Danny. She paused.
Mrs. Manson could be heard coming up the hall, speeking to their guests. Danny's ghost breath went off as Emily passed Sam's room and his eyes narrowed. Sam and Danny smiled. They were sharing the same thought.
"Hello? What am I missing?" Tucker asked as he pulled is head out of his backpack and eyed the grins that were spreading across his friends' faces. Sam stepped over to the door way. "We said we need to ditch you and find somwhere to make-out." Danny said sacasticly, joining Sam at the door. Tucker froze, not sure if that was a joke or not. Danny and Sam stuck their heads out of the door and watched as the twins headed into their room, leaving only Mrs. Manson and Emily in the hall.
"Now Emily, I expect you to behave yourself." Sam's mom said sternly. "There is to be no boys here after bedtime without permission, no sneaking out and absoutly NO playing doctor with anyone." Emily nodded poiletly and entered her room at the end of the long hall. Sam pulled Danny back as her mom passed. They looked back down the hall to see a flash of green light just before Emily's door shut.
