Ghosts VS Goddess :
Chapter Seven : One On One
Mrs. Sunny reared her pointy teeth and dove for Faith. The light coming from the window bounced off Mrs. Sunny's red nails. The glare hit me in the eyes, blinding me. Moments after I regained sight, the two were on the floor. They move quick... Faith had a minor cut going across her right cheek horizontally. There were scratches going along her arms and legs. Mrs. Sunny had bruises along her arms, and one blackening left eye. She licked the small trickle of blood coming from Faith's wound, causing Faith's eyes to twitch. Faith, the one on the bottom, brought her knee up into Mrs. Sunny's stomach. She then used her foot and slung Mrs. Sunny off her and against the wall. She grabbed the woman by the collar of her coat.
" Talk! What are you doing? " Faith demanded.
The woman chuckled wickedly, " Ye knows why I be here...Blood, it keeps me breath'n. "
It finally hit me. Mrs. Sunny was a ghost, but not any ordinary ghost. She was a vampire ghost.
" Vampire, " I started, " You're a vampire! "
" Heeheehee...That'd be right. Accursed to need blood, evens after death. " Mrs. Sunny sneered.
Faith pulled Mrs. Sunny off the wall and slammed her against it, hard.
" Those kids, in the closet, are they dead? " Faith said in a quiet, deadly tone.
Mrs. Sunny laughed, throwing her head up.
" As dead as I be. "
Faith had her head down, her hair covering her face. The vampire took advantage of this moment and socked Faith in the stomach. Mrs. Sunny went intangible and flew through the ceiling. Faith was crouched over, holding her middle side.
" Are you okay? " I asked with concern.
She held out a hand to stop me, " No, go get the vampire, GO! "
Sam and Tucker were pointing up from outside. I followed their gestures to the roof. Below, there was panic breaking out. Up there, I found Mrs. Sunny's fangs heading for Dash's neck. I can't believe I'm doing this... I charged at Mrs. Sunny with a tight fist. It made full contact with her right cheek, forcing her to release the bully.
" You- saved me, " Dash breathed in, " you're not evil like the rest of them... "
Wow, I have to give him credit for realizing this before the rest of the town.
" Get off the roof now. " I told him.
With his mouth still wide open, Dash headed towards the stairs. Mrs. Sunny had recovered from the blow, and she was back on her feet.
" Ye throw for a boyo of ye size. "
" Yeah, because I have all of my blood. " I pointed out sarcastically.
" Ye gots spunk. "
" Cut the chit chat and get on with it already. "
Faith was walking towards us from the far side of the roof. he had her right arm around her waist, and there was a small limp in her step. She was muttering the whole way. I've got to hand it to her, she's a tough nail.
" I don't care how, or who does it, but you're going down. " Faith's voice was thick with anger.
Mrs. Sunny raised a clenched fist. The hand spread open, the red nails on each finger grew longer, and sharper. That would explain all of Faith's cuts. Before she attacked, she did all these fancy, extensive movements. An exasperated sigh came from Faith's direction.
" I am soo scared, " she monotoned, dragging the O in so, " Just get it over with. "
I looked back at Mrs. Sunny just in time to dodge a flock of nails. Faith quietly admitted to forgetting to mention those to me. She flew off the roof and said she was going to stop the nails before they hit anything. I was left alone with Mrs. Sunny and her sharply manicured nails.
" Let's do as the lassie says and fight. " she hissed through her fangs.
" I thought you'd never ask. "
We both came at each other with our hands up. A circle of energy was released whem we touched. It was like we were playing a deadly game of Mercy, but neither of us wanted to cry mercy. I felt her nails dig into the back of my hands. When the vampire saw she was inflicting pain on me, she dug in harder. If I don't get her off me, she'll tear my fingers straight off my hands! I blew her off with my plasma blast. I wish I had the Fenton Ghost Reeler...or that new thing Dad's been tinkering with. I guess the Thermos'll do. I reached behind me to get the Fenton Thermos. Mrs. Sunny knew what was going on and began to fly away. With my hands in their current state, they were useless in opening the thermos. When Mrs. Sunny was no more than a speck in the far distance, Faith returned.
" Sweet! You nailed her! " she congragulated.
" Well, not really...She got away. "
She was instantly infront of me, her face was no more than 2 inches away.
" How? " her eyes flashed a dangerous shade of blue.
" I couldn't get the thermos open, " I showed her my hands, " Mrs. Sunny totally thrashed my hands. "
" Here, let me try. " she grabbed the thermos from my hands and tried to twist it open. She was successful, and she pointed the thermos at me saying that it wasn't that hard. As I've seen it many times, the opening glowed a translucent blue and began to suck me in. It was horrible; I felt as if I was being taken apart, molecule by molecule. Inside was pretty roomy but really glum. Something approached my from the dark.
" So, how does it feel Danny Phantom...To be caught in your own prison? " someone whispered.
-Faith's Point Of View-
" Oh god no..." I peered into the thermost, finding nothing.
I considered how to release Danny. My first idea was to smash the thermos, he probably had extras. But wouldn't that release all the ghosts Danny has captured? Wait, I wonder if there's a button... I searched for any buttons or wording, beside ' Fenton Thermos '. I knew the only ones who could help me were either Sam and Tucker, or Mr. and Mrs. Fenton. Naturally, I chose Sam and Tucker. I quickly untransformed, glad that I was wearing my usual sweatshirt. But my shorts did nothing to hide the bruises forming on my legs. I flew down the back side of the building, spotting Sam and Tucker on my way down. About 3/4's way down, the bell rang. Lucky for me, I was right next to it. My hands went to my ears, letting go on the thermos, and causing me to drop. I hit the floor with a nice thump. I was sore in places that I had never been sore before. What I do for this boy and all this ghost drama... I relocated the thermos and caught the two before they went back to class.
' Where's Danny? ' was the first thing they asked me.
" Um... " I searched for the right way to put it. I lifted the thermost to see if they'd catch my drift.
" Yeah, that's the Fenton Thermos - " Sam got it and pointed to it then looked at me. I gave her a small smile and nodded.
" Wait, I don't get it. " Tucker scratched the top of his head.
" Danny's in the thermos and I don't know how to get him out. " I explained clearly.
I handed the thermos to Sam and she said : " There's a release button right here. " Her finger went to press it when I stopped her.
" Wait! You might let got the ghosts that Danny caught from before! " I warned. " Unless you can release one by one... "
" No, you can't. But we have to get Danny out. He'll just have to recatch them. " Tucker shrugged.
-Danny's Point of View-
I peered into the darkness, trying to spot who it was. A pair of green eyes stared back at me.
" Who are you? " I asked.
" I am..." the figure stepped into the dim light, " THE BOOX GHOST! "
" Ooo..." I moaned, rolling my eyes.
" Cry, cry in fear of, THE BOOX GHOST! "
" That'll be the day..."
The thermos began to glow and beep. Something was happening and I thought Faith had broken the thermos. The Box Ghost and I looked up to see what was going on. Now I was being pushed out, the Box Ghost followed, screaming about freedom.
" It was only the Box Ghost. " I opened my eyes to find Faith holding the Box Ghost by his collar.
" Hey Danny. How was your vacation? " joked Tuck.
" It was horrible inside the Fenton Thermos. " I pulled at my hair, " I can see why all my enemies hate me more after capture. "
" That was my fault...Sorry, like I said, still getting used to fighting ghosts. " Faith smiled.
" You're pretty good at it so far. Although you seem to really hate vampires. "
Faith's expression darkened at the mention of vampires. She looked my right in the eyes, and in her eye was a scary glint. She tightened her grip on the Box Ghost. Faith grabbed the Thermost from Sam and tossed the Box Ghost in.
" All they do is take lives. They don't deserve the priviledge to live, or to walk on this earth. They take lives to maintain their own. " Faith seethed; her eyes shone blue for a few seconds before returning to their normal brown.
" And we don't question that one bit. " Tucker began backing away from Faith.
She walked off in a deadly silence. The three of us agreed that that, was creepy. Faith remained dark for the rest of the day. She wouldn't talk to anyone, period.
Patrol is so quiet without Faith. I can't believe that I've gotten used to all that talking. My target tonight wasn't anything big. Acutally, I wasn't after any ghost in particular. Things have been quiet, not counting Mrs. Sunny. I was going over to the park area when I saw a running figure. I lowered to get a better view of what was going on. Turned out to be an ordinary purse-snatching. I soared down and grabbed the stolen property.

I lowered to get a better view of what was going on. Turned out to be an ordinary purse-snatching. I soared down and grabbed the stolen property." Didn't know that men took an interest Girly-Girl brand purses. "
The masked robber glared at me, then ran away. Of all the purses I save, I had to save Paulina's purse. When I handed her the baggage, her mouth moved silently.
" Here's your purse miss. " I politely handed over the purse.
She gave me a lovesick look and a sigh, " Wow, you saved me life, and my purse. "
Though she loves me, it's still the wrong me...And the way she's looking at me is kinda scary... I gave her a smile and flew off. When I looked back, she was still there, staring at me. Creepy. My cellphone began to vibrate.
" Hello? " I greeted.
" It's me, Faith. There's this, thing in from of my house. It's just sitting there, and it won't go away. I tried to attack it but - Oh just get over here! " Faith sounded really irritated.
" Okay, I'm coming. Stay put. "
" You think I wanna go out! "
" Yeah, bye. " I hung up and started for her house.
I was nearing the facilities when I saw blue lights on the roof, and I know that blue light any where. Faith's got herself into some fight again. I watched from above; it was Faith against another vampire, a male vampire this time. Figures... But I couldn't tell if it was a dead or a ghost, they're all pale. I went invisible to take a closer look.
" You pale ass freak! " Faith shouted as a swarm of pointy ice shards zoomed at the vampire. The vampire jumped, probably 10, 20 feet, avoiding the ice. Okay, it's alive, technically dead, but not a ghost.
" Arr, you'll never get me. " the vampire jeered. That got Faith's juices bubbling. She gave the vampire a dark, dark look. Her eyes shone a dark blue, flashing lightly.
" Sure, that's what they all say before I reduce them to dust. " Faith's voice was dry. The vampire growled, slowly making his move. Faith followed, going forward a few steps. The vampire jumped and bared it's fangs. Faith, in a flash, had the blood-sucker by the throat.
" Any last words vermin? " she sneered. With her unoccupies hand, an ice spike materialized. She pierced the vampire's heart before it could say anything. The dust was carried away by the small breeze.
" That was wicked! " I reappeared and placed a hand on Faith's shoulder. In one quick moment, her left heel was on my face. She lowered her foot and apologized.
" Sorry about that, you startled me. "
" It's okay. Was he the thing? " I asked.
" Yeah. I tried to scare it away, but it attacked. "
" You must have some reason to hate vampires so much. " I saw Faith flinch a little at the word vampire.
" I'll tell you, just promise not to tell anyone. "
I promised. On the roof, as the night fell, a stronger, colder breeze came. She took in a deep breath and began her story.
Doesn't that just make you wanna read more?
