I wasn't asleep long, because I heard a stick crack, and my eyes shot open. I looked over to see Sam still laying there, so it wasn't her. I sat up, and looked around, to see nothing at all around me. That scared me, because the stick breaking was around us somewhere, but in yet, there was nothing there.
"Danny?" Sam mumbled tiredly.
"Sorry, I just… thought I heard something," I told her, then slowly laid back down. I faced in the direction towards the woods, and looked all over, but didn't see anything. I couldn't fall asleep though, because there was no telling what was out there. What if it was Vlad? Maybe he did see us. If he was following, then surely, he would get us.
"Umm, do you two need a place to stay?" I heard someone say, and I jumped up.
"Oh, umm…" I stuttered, since I had no idea who they were, or why they were out here.
"Oh, I am sorry if I scared you," she said. I realized she wasn't alone either, there was more than just her.
"My name is Sasha. My friends and I were out on a walk, during this party we are having. You wanna come in my house?"
"Uhh…"
"Look, I just didn't think you wanted to be out here, all by yourselves. Besides, I have a spare bed! My mom wouldn't care either."
"Sure… the name is Danny."
"Cool, come on then."
I nudged Sam, and when she saw other people above us, she jumped up.
"Come on," I told her, as I helped her up, and we followed the people. Sasha was with 2 other people at the moment, but if there was a party, there was no telling how much of them there was. Soon, we came up to a big house, and there was colored lights on the inside, and you could hear the music banging.
"Uhh, you know what, I think we shouldn't go in." I told her, as I saw all the people in there. What if Vlad was to show up again? I didn't want these people to get hurt!
"Why not? It is a party! Come on, you will have fun! At least stay here until it is over," she said excitedly.
"No, I can't stay."
"Come on! It won't kill you!"
"Yeah, well… I realized, I had to do something else."
"You were sleeping, on the floor in the woods!"
"Yeah, well… I needed to get up at this time to leave… so thanks for waking me up!" I said, and then ran off with Sam, into the woods, and quickly turned us both invisible. I saw the three of them walking around looking for us, and then I saw Sasha pull out a walkie-talkie, "He Vlad, sorry, but they got away."
"Vlad?" Sam whispered.
"Shh"
There was sounds coming out of the walkie-talkie, and then Sasha stomped back off towards her house.
I started off with Sam again, but this time, I was going to stay hidden. I fell through the floor, and we were now under the ground. Of coarse, we couldn't stay like this long, but at least long enough to try and get Vlad confused. After all, we had to breathe. We went for about two minutes, and then I came up, but then we went back under again. We went like this for about an hour, and then we arrived in a town. This had worn both of us out, and plus, it was the middle of the night, so we had to take a rest.
"We are on our way home," I told Sam, as we looked around for a hotel.
"I want to go home."
"Yeah, so do I. You know though, we can't stay. Vlad knows we would go there."
"I know, but I want to see it again. See Tucker again."
"Yeah, and I wish I could see my parents, but you know, they would probably try to keep me there, and then I would have to worry about Vlad trying to harm the people in our town, and I can't let that happen."
"I know."
We found a hotel, and when we got into a room, we both fell asleep fast. When I woke up, Sam wasn't around, and I didn't hear the shower running. I got up, and searched the hotel, and couldn't find her anywhere. I went down to the main floor of the hotel, and once again, she was no where to be seen. My heart was racing, and I couldn't think straight. Where would she have gone? Or… did Vlad follow us? I wasn't going to let Vlad scare me, and I wasn't going to be thinking he had taken her. I would have asked the manager, but then again, he would wonder where I came from. I went out of the hotel, and looked out across the busy streets, and still didn't see her.
"Danny!" I jumped, and then turned around, to see Sam, with a bag in her hand.
"Sam!" I yelled at her.
"What?"
"You scared me! I thought something happened to you!"
"I'm sorry, but I didn't want to wake you up! Hold on, I need to go back into the hotel room."
"All right." We both hid behind a sign, and I went intangible, and flew us up to the hotel. She went into the bathroom, and when she came out, she was wearing a new outfit. Black, baggy jeans, with chains hanging off the sides, and a black shirt, with a purple skull on both of the sleeves.
"You went shopping?"
"Yeah!"
"Sam! You made me wake up, and run around all scared that Vlad had taken you, because you wanted new clothes?"
"Oh, settle down! You lived, didn't you?"
"Yeah, but still…"
"Come on, let's get out of here," she told me.
"Ok, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Because, we need to get out of this room, before someone sees us in here."
"Good point."
We left, and traveled, but I realized, something wasn't right.
"Sam, why… are you so cold?"
"I don't know."
"Your sure about that?"
"Yeah, I am fine. Maybe you are just to warm."
I turned on her, and shot an ecto-blast at her, and she didn't fall to the ground, she was flying. Just like my so called 'parents' from before.
"Where is the real Sam?" I knew I was with her before, but there was something different about this one, Not only was she cold, but I knew Sam would have never left the room, without telling me.
"You think I am going to tell you?" She hissed, and came at me, but I dodged her.
"You aren't that good, are you?"
"Remember me Danny? Sasha?"
"How did you change your look?"
"We can! Your mom and Dad were the two that were with me!"
"Oh, isn't that nice! Now I have to worry about fakes all over the place watching me!"
"Yeah, you have more than that to worry about now!"
"What is that?"
"Think about it!" And with that, she flew off, leaving me here, with no clue as to where Sam was, or as to what to do now.
