Chapter Three

Broken

Stalking into Sam's room, Danny floated in and searched for the sword. Under her enormous bed, her huge, booming speakers, her tall chests and closets. He couldn't find it anywhere.

His ghost sense ticked him and he whirled around, looking in all directions, his fists curled, ready to fight.

"Looking for this?" said a voice.

"How did you get here?" Danny said, jumping. Sam had the sword in her hands and was twirling it around in short little circles.

"I followed you, is that a problem?"

"No, I just didn't figure you the type to ever skip school."

"Yeah, well I've changed."

"I've noticed."

She walked closer to him. "You'd be surprised at how much people like me. They think I'm pretty Danny. I'm not the Goth geek anymore. I'm popular."

"You have changed. You used to not care about popularity. You didn't care."

"And you know what the funny thing is Danny?" She was directly in front of him and his green eyes met her violet ones.

"What?"

She grabbed him by the shoulders roughly and threw him with unnatural strength against the wall.

"You thought you could stop me."

Danny slammed hard against the wall and slid down onto the floor. White flashes danced in his eyes. His head pounded.

"Looks like Danny Phantom is a little bit too trustworthy of thy friends," she said in a strange British accent.

"You're the knight," he said, his vision blurring a little.

"Big shock. I was just wondering how long it was exactly going to take you to figure that one out." Her eyes changed to an eerie vivid green.

"Too bad; I'm not exactly an A student." He stood up with difficulty.

"Hey, did I say you could get up? I don't think so." She placed the sword's tip on his throat. He didn't dare move.

"Is the half ghost afraid? You're nothing but a coward. Too scared to be a real hero. Isn't that why they call you a loser?"

Danny thought he was over being called a loser. But angry feelings swarmed inside his head.

"Well, this loser has powers," he said, raising his hand. A green ball of light formed and he shot it towards the girl, hitting her, and at the same time, changing back into his human self.

Getting up of the floor easily, the Knight laughed.

Angry thoughts buzzed inside Danny. The Knight didn't deserve Sam's laugh . Didn't deserve Sam's body. Didn't deserve Sam's life.

Forgetting that he had changed back, Danny tackled Sam to the floor again, but stopped when he heard a voice.

"Hello? Anyone there?" shouted a girl's voice.

Danny got off of the girl and turned around, feeling the blood drain from his face. "Jazz-"he whispered.

"Danny? Why are you here? What's going on?" His red haired sister walked through the door.

"What are you doing here Jazz?" Danny asked.

"I brought some reinforcements," Sam said. Sure enough, a large suited man came in behind Jazz, holding back her arm.

"What's going on Danny?" Jazz cried. "I was just looking all over for you in the school, and Tucker didn't know where you were, and he came up and grabbed me and brought me here," she said, rambling.

He started towards his sister, but stopped when he felt a cold hand grasp his arm and the cold edge of the sword against his throat.

"Tell me how to get Paderaina out, and I'll let you and your sister go and you can stay the way you are, mister hero, or you can die, whichever you choose," the ghost in Sam threatened.

Danny stared at his sister hard. Jazz didn't know he had ghost powers. He knew she would tell his parents. But he didn't want her, especially her, hurt.

"Who is Paderaina?" Jazz asked, looking back and forth from Danny to Sam.

"My horse, deliver my horse, or the girl dies," Sam threatened, tightening her grip on Danny.

"Take her out of the room, and I'll do it," Danny replied desperately.

"Danny what is going on?" Jazz demanded, shouting.

"I'll- I'll....I'll tell you later..." he said.

"Oh , I see... Miss Big Sis doesn't know the little loser's secret... well...well...well..." Sam said, cackling.

Danny snapped. Whipping around he shoved Sam to the ground and heard Jasmine scream behind him. He didn't need his powers to defeat this.... He would use his own skills.

His eyes burned suddenly, changing from their normal pale blue, to a bright glowing green, but he couldn't calm down.

"You're a fool, boy," she said, getting up with difficulty.

"Danny-" Jazz yelled. He turned around to look at her, and was shocked to see she was crying.

Blazes of electricity shot through him and he fell to his knees in pain. Glowing slightly, he turned around.

The Knight was smiling triumphantly, holding the sword in her hands with glee.

"Now you have no choice, but to obey me." She smiled. "Arise."

Danny couldn't feel his legs getting up, or remembering to tell them to get up, but suddenly he was standing in front of her, completely uncontrollable.

"When you return my horse, I'll let her go and then finish you, but right now, you will lead me to her."

She faded out the window and like he was tied to strings, pulled with her

"DANNY!" Jazz screamed.

"Let go of me," Jazz screamed to the guard.

"You heard Maestro Linwidge, when the ghost child returns the horse, you will be set free," he replied.

"Yeah, well I don't play that way." She escaped his grasp and did a drop kick, knocking the guy over, and then ran for her life.

Down the huge, black onyx staircase, and out the brass doors, she ran out onto the street, and as fast as she could to her house.

Her only hope was that it wasn't too late.
