"Ok, we need to get out of here," I said, as I got the feeling of being watched.

"Why? It is so nice out! I can stay up a little while longer."

"Sam, really, I just think that maybe we need to get out of here."

I stood up, and then helped Sam up to her feet, and we started off again. It wasn't long until we had reached a city, and I had stopped there, to find a place to sleep.

"Which one do you want?" I asked Sam, looking at the three hotels in the semi-big city.

"Whichever one you would like," she said, and then yawned.

"See, you were tired," I pointed out, and we both let out wimpy laughs, because both of us were tired from all the events going on in that day.

I just went to the biggest hotel there, and flew up to a room, that was open. It was a small room, with a bathroom, and then two beds lying in the main room. Also, there was a small kitchen attached to the room, with only a little wall separating them. The room was in all shades of green. The only thing that wasn't green was the wooden bed, and wooden end tables, which were each laying at the sides of the two beds.

"Danny, are you sure this is a good idea?" Sam asked me, before even thinking about getting settled in.

"Why wouldn't it work?"

"Well, what if someone else rents out this room?"

"I have an idea for that," I said, and then disappeared through the floor, down to the lobby. I looked for the front desk, and once it was found, I went over to it, and snatched up the 2 keys belonging to the room that we were staying in. Then, I went back up, and when I got there, I jingled the keys in front of Sam's face.

"I have my ways."

"Yeah, you always do," she laughed.

Sam walked over to her bed, and got under the covers in about 2 seconds. I did the same, and we both turned and looked at each other.

"Danny? Do you think we will ever be going home?"
"I don't know. Maybe, but we can't stay. The only reason I would go there, is to let Tucker know that we were never coming back.

"Do you think Tucker would want to come with us?"

"Do you think we need to bring Tucker with us?"

"Maybe not. We might not want him to get caught up in this."

"Agreed."

That was the last things we said, before we both fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, I could hear the shower running, and I saw the light shinning through the window. I got up, and stretched. I felt lightheaded for a second, but quickly lost the feeling after I had gotten out of bed. When I turned to look at the clock, I was amazed! It was 11:36! I went into my ghost mode, and flew down to the lobby again, where they were selling breakfasts. All that they were giving out was doughnuts, and pancakes. I picked up a bag of pancakes really fast, and then flew up to the room. Sam was now out of the shower, combing knots out of her hair.

"Hey, you finally woke up!" She said.

"Yeah, when were you awake?"

"About nine."

"Really? Wow."

"Yeah, that is fine though. Besides, now you won't get tired, huh?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"Anyhow… how are we supposed to take care of our clothes?"
"Ummm… I was figuring… we could try to make it home by tonight."

"Are you nuts!"

"No, I did it before. I just can't go as fast when I am carrying you."
"Really?"

"Yeah, went home, and back all in one day."

"That was yesterday, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, that is why I was so tired. To much for me in one day."

"I bet," she said, as she walked back into the bathroom, and threw the 'disposable' brush in the garbage, and then came back out with me.

"So, you gonna take a shower before we go?" She asked me.

"You think I should?" I laughed.

"I don't know."

"Here, I brought you breakfast," I teased, as I tossed the bag at her.

"Oh, g thanks."

"Hey, I am not cook. And I don't think you wanted a doughnut!"
"NO, this is fine, I was just teasing you."

I went into the bathroom, and closed the door behind me. I slipped my clothes off, and hopped into the shower, and twisted the knob, so that the water was warm. The warm water felt good running down me, but I still hurried to get out, because it felt odd taking a shower, for some reason. I quickly got soap in my hair, and spread it around, then quickly rinsed it off, and got out of the shower.

When I got out though, I thought I smelt a smoky smell, so I dried off quickly, and threw my clothes on. My hair was flopped over all around my hair, and I need to dry it better, but I decided that could wait.

"Danny, do you smell that?" Sam asked me, once I had gotten out.

"Uhh, yeah. Do you know what it is?"

Before she could get an answer in, the fire alarms on the walls were blinking, and letting out a high pitched beeping sound. I grabbed Sam's hand, and flew off away from the hotel. I looked back, and noticed Vlad, standing down there, smiling wickedly. He was following us, and thought he was going to kill us.

"Sam, we are being followed."

"What do you…" she began, but then noticed Vlad. I landed on the ground in a woods, and ran for cover, hoping that he didn't notice us leaving.

"Sam, be quiet," I whispered, as we both crouched down behind a fat tree. She nodded, and we both stood there still. I could hear the people at the hotel screaming, and yelling. Luckily, I had the power to escape, but to all the innocent people staying in there, they had a chance to get hurt.

Vlad, as we all know, is a creep. I never knew that he would be causing havoc, everywhere we went! For one, did he even care about the other people in the hotel? For another, why was he doing this to us? Why did he want to kill us now? Or did he know that I would escape from the building? Did he watch for me to escape? Those were things I couldn't answer, but surly, he had heard us talking about heading home, so that was a plan we couldn't follow anymore.

After what seemed like days of sitting there, the sound out in the city had calmed down, and now it was close to silence.

"Sam, we are going to get out of here now."

"Where are we going?"

"I don't know, where ever, I guess. Just, not home," I whispered.

Once again, we were off. This time though, it was daytime, and we had to be intangible, so no one could see us. We never said a word the whole trip, and the sun was just barely down, leaving a pink glow across the earth, when we had reached our next destination. It was a small town, and there was one little apartment, in which we had to hope that there was some home left open in there, so that we could stay for a night.

"Danny, why can't we find a bigger town?"
"Because Sam, I need a brake. I need to think for a while."

"About what?"

"Vlad."
"Danny! We can't stop here! People actually live here! What if he burns this place down too? Then you would be ruining people's lives!"

"Yeah, well, then I guess we are sleeping outside. I guess it would be safer."

"And, where are you gonna get the stuff for us to sleep outside?"

"In one of the apartments. I will find us a blanket."

"You can't steal from them!"

"I will return it. I promise."

"Yeah, to give them a heart attack, when they find their stuff gone, and then back again, with dirt stuck to it!"

Sam was being grouchy tonight, obviously, and there wasn't much choices at all in this town.

"Fine, we are going to be sleeping on the ground then. I told you, I am not going any farther. I am tired, and there is a lot going on right now."
"Danny, why do you have to make this harder than it is?" She asked me, in a sad voice.

"Sam, I am sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset."

"No, it isn't your fault. I have just been having a rough time I guess."

"We both have. If you want me to, I will fly us to the next town."

"No, we can stay here, in an apartment, if there are any opened. Or, you can just take some stuff from out of someone's apartment."

"Ok, and I will return it, don't worry."

I went into the apartment building, and flew up to someone's room, and looked in their closet. They had a blow up bed that was already blown up, leaning against the wall in the closet. How convenient was that? And they had a couple of thin blankets sitting on the shelf. I grabbed the bed, and the blankets, and headed back out to Sam. We traveled off into a woods nearby, and put the stuff on the ground. Sam looked at the bed, and then back at me. I knew what she was thinking, before she even said anything, but she never opened her mouth. I handed her one of the blankets, and I kept the other, and we both laid down on the bed. We stayed as far apart from each other as possible, but it was cold out, so we ended up right next to each other.
