Chapter 17: "Do You Trust Me?"
Danny's POV:
I stared in the window reflection as long as I could as soon as I was sure my parents had left the room. "Change back." I tried, commanding myself to do something I knew couldn't happen.
The door burst open before I could take another breath. I jumped behind the sofa.
It was Sam and Tucker.
Seeing me behind the couch, they shut the door loudly and stared in my direction.
"Danny?" Sam asked me, holding her hips.
I jumped back from behind the couch and panicked.
"I dunno what's going on. I can't change back to normal. I won't change back!" I said, pacing the floor.
Two blue rings appeared around my waist and I wasn't wearing my hospital gown anymore. I screamed when I noticed the regular black and white uniform.
I spun around slowly, looking at Sam and Tucker, begging them for any help. "What is going on"
Tucker shrugged and paced the floor. "You defintly can't have any more visiters. With you as this you, then we might have a little problem"
"Little?" Sam said, throwing her hands in the air. "What do you mean little"
"I was trying to make it sound better." Tucker said, rubbing his neck.
Sam rolled her eyes. She turned to me. "Are you sure you can't just change back"
"Yeah." I said, kicking the ground.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.
Tucker eyed me and pushed me behind the couch before Sam peaked her head through.
"Hello!" Sam said, smiling wide.
"Hi." It was the nurse. "I was just wondering how Danny was"
"Good. He's doing peachy!" Sam said. She smiled wider. "See, smiling. I'm happy"
The nurse eyed her. "Is there something going on in here"
"No nothing at all!" Tucker said, standing in front of the sofa, blocking her view.
"Where's Danny?" She said, looking around.
"Hiding from..." Tucker satred to say, but Sam nuged him in the ribs.
"Hiding from me!" She said, covering up his words. "Were playing hide and seek"
"He's out of bed?" Nurse Jillian said, looking under the hospiatal bed.
I bit my lip and raised my hand. "I'm right here!" I said, waving my arm around.
"Oh. Hi Danny. You better get back in bed. Need help"
"No." I said. waving my hand, still. "No, no. Thanks though. I'm fine."
She bit her lip.
"Bye!" Sam said, taking her notepad and tossing it out the door.
Nurse Jillian eyed her. "Bye." She said, nervously.
"Bye!" Tucker said as he ran to the door and slammed it shut.
I popped my head from out behind the sofa and nervously looked around the room at Sam and Tucker.
"We can't keep doing this!" Sam sighed.
"Right." Tucker said. "But it's not like we can't help it"
I thought back to the renchig pain in my left shoulder.
"Um. I've got one idea." I said, shutting my eyes tight.
"What?" Sam asked.
"Look in the garabe can." I said, pointing to it on the floor.
Sam saw the dart, and bit her lip. "So? Do you know what he's talking about Tucker"
"I dunno." Tucker replied, rubbing his chin.
"Unless your talking about Vlad, who, by the way, was in here though"
"He was?" I asked her, scracthing my head, and looking down at the floor.
"Yeah." Tucker siad. "He said he was your uncle!" He stepped towards the door and peaked out, then shut it quickly. "He left, I guess"
I tried to think back to when I last saw Vlad.
He smiled at me as I fell off the building, despreatly reaching for a ledge or something to grasp on, to stop my fall.
Then, I passed out, seeing him face in my mind again and again.
"He must have done this to you, Danny." Sam said, chewing on her bottom lip.
"No!" Tucker rolled his eyes.
Sam nuged him. "I knew that, I was telling Danny!" She rubbed the back of her neck.
I laughed.
Sam was funny ever since I could remember. Even when she wasn't trying to be. I eyed her. "It's okay Sam, I like the fact that you figured it out soon"
She blushed and laughed a little. Then looking around at Tucker, she stopped and bit her lip again.
Tucker's eyes widened, staring at Sam. He smiled and looked at me. Back and forth. What was he thinking?
"The dart!" She chocked out, when Tucker started smiling wider.
He eyes darted to the garbage can.
"When Valerie took it out, you started to turn back into your ghost self." Tucker explained, shutting his eyes.
"Maybe if you put it back in, I'll change back!" I said to Sam.
"Me?" Sam backed away. "But that hurt you"
"But I'll cahnge back." I said.
"I won't hurt you, Danny!" She said, comming closer and picking the dart up out of the garbage bin.
"Sam!" I sighed. "Just do it"
I extended my arm to her.
She took it and shut her eyes.
"Do you trust me?" I asked, leaning my head to the left.
She stared at me, scared. Confused of to why I'd ask her a question like that.
"Just, do it." I said, simply.
"I can't." She said, pushin my arm back to me.
Sam looked as scared as I'd ever seen her before. She bit her lip and tugged on her hair, nervoulsy.
I looked at her. "Why"
Sam bit her lip. She looked scared, and seacrhing for something to say. "You'll be mad at me"
I looked at her. She was scared.
"I swear. I won't be mad. I'd be happier if you just did it!" I said, smiling at her. Trying to avoid the dart.
Just don't look at it, I thought to myslef.
She smiled.
"Now, do you trust me?" I asked, starin gat her face.
"Yes." She said.
"Now, just do it." I said, shutting my eyes tight and pushing my arm into her hands.
She held her breath. "Sorry Danny!" She said.
And she brought her hand up in the air and sent the dart flying back into my shoulder.
She screamed.
Everything went dark.
