Chapter 20: Goggles
Valerie's eyes bare down into Danny's. She tilted her head as if she wasn't sure her eyes were seeing things correctly. "Danny?" She whispered in a chocked voice, wodnering weither it was okay for her to speak the second after she had done so.
Danny bit his lip nad didn't say anything. He swallowed hard, casuing his mouth to go completely dry. "Happy Halloween!" He wanted to scream.
Sam looed behind her when she noticed Danny was compleely unbreathing. Something is wrong, she thought as she spun aroun and gapped at Valerie on her knees, still looking under the covers. "Valerie?" Sam asked Valerie, who was rubbing her head.
The others spun around hearing Sam call for their friend. "What's going on?" Tucker said, smiling like he had just won the lottery. Only his smile was fake, nervous. For he too had only know what had just happened. Tucker's mind spun making him dizzier. He felt like he had just gotten off of a roller coaster that spun around and around untill he couldn't take it anymore. If I'm feeling this bad, Tucker thought keeping his smile up, I wonder how Danny's doing.
I wonder how Sam's doing, he thought, knowing that whatever Danny was thniking was almost what Sam had to be...almost not quite.
Sam lept off the hospital bed and pretended to fall. She let go of a metal ber with one hand which casued her to seeminlgy fall head first on the ground. Sam lay ontop Valerie, searching for words.
Altouhgh, Valerie didn't seem to notice that she was now flug on the other side of the floor, with Sam, much lighter than her fortuantly, on her back. "Did you just see that?" Valerie said, pushing Sam off her with one motion. "No." Sam lied, pretending to think she was insane. She huddled close to Danny's bed though, scramblnig to her feet.
"Look!" Valerie said, with out thinking. She exetnded her hand, with out thinking about Danny and wiped the covers off the bed.
Danny's POV:
I saw it. Before she even pulled the covers off of that bed, I saw it. Her shadow, creeping towards me slowly, wanting to prove herself. I quickly became invisible, causing the covers to sink bleow, leaving nothing more than a blank materess.
Sam sighed a relief, which made me smile knowing one less person was stressed out. It made sence that I was feeling better, that I should go home to some people. But the light blue mist escaping from my mouth told me otherwise. I quickly pushed my back aganist the wall and held my breath.
Valerie panted hard after staring at the empty matress for a while. She spun around, staring at the others, in complete shock.
"Whe'd he go?" Paulina said, worried, which made me jump a little.
"I saw him! I-I-I-I s-swear!" Valerei said. She pointed to the empty matress.
"Where's Danny?" Star said, mimiking Paulina, who was now searching under the covers.
"I swear!" Valerie said, still fighting with nobody.
"Who cares right now!" Dash said, slapping her in the back. "Danny's gone!"
"Were in trouble!" Kwan repeated biting his fingernails. I didn't want them to be in any trouble with the hospiatl. Nurse Jillian would get fired and they could be blamed for this.But my feet wouldn't let me move and I was grounded to the spot.
Valerie burst into tears. "He was here!" She repeated, smashing her head in her palm. "I swear"
"It's okay!" Sam said, touching her arm.
"Get off me!" Valerie snapped, trowing Sam's hand off her shoulder. "I'll prove it"
"How?" Sam asked, rubbing her arm by which Valerie grasped hard. Valerie didn't answer. She searched her back pack for something, digging her hand in every pocket and unziping every zipper. "This is how!" She finally said, pulling out a pair of goggles from her backpack.
They were red around the rims and the lenses were green. Bright green. I traced my memory for when I'd last seen these. It was at the park. That's the only was she could see me when I went intanglible. I back up more aganist the wall, holding my breath.
"What is that?" Kwan said, slaming his fingers down at his waist, to stop himself from panicking anymore.
"It lets you see ghosts when you can't see them." Valerie answered, wiping sweat from her forehead. She closed her eyes. "Vlad gave them to me"
Vlad.
I searched around the room in hope of finding anything of what the blue mist was trying to tell me. But cuoldn't see any ghost. Not one.
"How do they work?" Kwan asked again, becoming intrested.
Sam bit her nails, a habbit. Her mind raced with ideas or suggestions to keep Valerie from putting them on her face. But her mind was blank and she stayed put, feet planted to the ground.
Valerie rolled her eyes, which were completely confident looking.
Sam bit into her nails harder.
Valerie rasied the goggles to her face, wearing a huge smile. Then she clicked the 'on' button, resting on the side of them. I pressed my back harder into the wall, so I couldn't breath. I was giving myself back pains, but I didn't care. I shut my eyes tight.
"THERE HE IS!" Valerei said, pointing a finger in my direction.
My eyes bolted open and I tried to fase through the wall out the building. But I couldn't.
I was trapped.
"Where?" Paulina squeeled, hoding her breath.
"There!" Valerie said. "I see him! I told you"
Sam shut her eyes and hummed, to calm herslef down. "Lettme see!" Paulina yanked the goggles off Valerie's face and put them on.
Valerie smiled herself. I shut my eyes tighter. This wasn't happening. This wasn't happening.
Paulina squeeled. "Oh my Gosh"
But Dash yanked them off her eyes and back away, throwing them back into Valerie's.
"Come out!" Valerie said. "Remember me"
I couldn't get them in trouble. That would be my fault. So I said the first thing that came to mind. "I remember you." I sighed.
They back away hearing my voice in the room.
"Danny?" Paulina said. "that sounds like Danny"
"It isn't!" Tucker and Sam siad, covering their mouths after their last words.
Valerie raised an eyebrow at them. She smiled.
Paulina said, "Please come out"
I sighed. What else could I do? They could already see me. I blinked the tears out of my eyes, trying to forget how many times I've cried today. It made me feel better.
I made myself visible, everything, even the tears on my checks. Sam gasped and back away, shuttig her eyes tighter.
"This won't end well." She repeated.
