Chapter Three
Sam tossed and turned beneath the covers. Her hair dangled around her shoulders and curled slightly at the ends. Just as she made that dream vanish, she felt another, all too real, dream stir in her mind.
Cold, smooth hands wrapped around her bare waist. She sighed contently, and opened her eyes slightly to see who was pampering her. Yet, no one was there. She nodded off again, and the hands gripped her. She was carried down to the basement, where the elder man waited impatiently.
"Kill her now child!" He yelled.
The boy remained motionless, except for when he put Sam down.
"Danny...honestly... I shall see to it that you kill this girl that you so passionately desire... I've seen deep into your heart and she is what waits there. Don't fool me to think that now you don't care for her," He growled. "Now kill her."
The same unexplainable emotion was splashed upon his face. He remained lifeless.
"You must feel the pain of death to become a real ghost, Daniel," The man muttered. "Must I return your emotions for you to even take me seriously?" He gave a few tsk tsks and then pulled something from his cloak. It was a beautiful box encrusted with gems and jewels of all sorts. But, a very evil hold had been placed over the box. It was s box made for the sole purpose of changing emotions that were once loving and caring into hateful and despising. Lucky for Danny, his had not been locked up long enough to be altered. The man threw back the hinged lid and groaned. He didn't think it'd have to come down to this.
Everything rushed back to Danny. His first emotion was the love for Sam. The next was that he had to protect her in her unconscious state. Therefore, he stood before her in his ghost form, fists clenched, ready for a ghost fight. "Come on I haven't got time for this..." He growled.
"You don't get it do you Danny...?" The man chuckled. He seemed amused. "You really don't...!" He laughed again. Danny was confused, but remained stationed in front of Sam. "Daniel...dear Daniel..." the man smiled.
"Don't call me that!" He yelled angrily.
"I shall do as I please. You are not above me CHILD," He snarled. "Anyways... I captured you several days ago Daniel. I entered your body, and took control of your very thoughts, emotions, and actions. I picked deep within your mind, soul, and heart. What I found was that girl," He pointed to Sam, "You will do anything to protect her...won't you?" A vile grin entered his face, "But you must become a full ghost in order to open the portal between ghost and human. The halfa must feel such a pain that compares to death, but he must not die. Once...er...never mind. I am determined to open that portal forever...then the humans shall be slaves to the immortal ghosts."
Danny gasped. Slaves? The humans? Because of him...? He looked over his shoulder at Sam. She looked so beautiful lying there. He felt like going back to her and kissing her. But he knew that he couldn't. Now was not time for romance. He shook that thought away, and focused on what his most hated enemy had just said. "I could never kill Sam...I myself would die from so much grief..." He whispered.
The man laughed. "Oh don't worry...you will kill her...even if I have to assist you in doing so."
