Note to Readers: No idea how many chapters this is going to have...but I'll try not to go over 10. Also, I think it's going to start getting better from here on out. Happy reading!

Chapter Seven

Even though school was out for break, they still had a school dance on the 20th of December. Danny and Sam had planned months in advance to go together. Needless to say they hadn't spoken much about it, especially since these strange meetings at night. But now Sam had to make up her mind if she was going to go or not, because it was the 19th.

"Tucker...please don't make me go...I can't see Danny. I just...can't," Sam pleaded to Tucker over the phone.

"Why not? You guys still won't tell me what happened a while back. What's going on with you two?" Tucker said all at once.

"Fine..." Sam sighed. Her voice then dropped, "Danny tried...to...you know...do it with me last night. I don't want to see him." She then bit her lip, and closed her eyes, "Ever. I don't want to see him ever again."

"Whatever. I'm going. Danny'll probably go too. But I get it."

There was a long pause.

"WHAT?! What did you say!? Danny tried to jump in bed with you?!?" Tucker yelled.

"Shut up unless you just have to tell the world." Sam snapped. "But yes that's what I said."

"What's gotten into him? We're only 14 for god's sake!"

"I don't know, but can you find out for me? I don't want to hurt him any more..."

"I'm on it."

The phones then clicked, and the line was dead.

The next day, Sam had decided to stay home and relax while Tucker played interview with Danny at the dance. It actually worked better than he thought it would. He answered all but a handful of questions, and Tucker managed to record it all. The following day, Tucker went to Sam's house and they listened to the tape countless times.

"It doesn't make sense..." Tucker mumbled after about the thousandth time.

"Yes it does..." Sam said a minute later. "Think about it. He doesn't remember, and he's got that weird trance-like expression. That clearly says that someone was in his body, or had been in his body, controlling him. Lemme hear it again..."

The tape played again, and Sam continued simply, "But, it would have to be a ghost. A ghost we know that is experienced..." -the tape played again- "Wait! What is that bit about a plan...about the portal?"

Tucker rewound it and yet again jammed his finger into the play button.

"I vaguely remember something about a plan...something about Sam and me being the keys to open the ghost portal forever," Danny's voice said on the recording.

"No..." Sam gasped.

"What?" Tucker said hopefully.

"Vlad."
