Hey guys, finally getting to work on this. I'm so sorry, it's taken a while to get back on track with writing. And… today is my last day home, I'm leaving until August 12th on a Vacation, so this will be my last update in a while. I get to go to Cali! Yay! Anyhow… here is your update:

Chapter 13: End of the Battles?

"Hey, I gotta go Danny," Tucker sighed, and started to walk away from the situation we were in. I looked at him, and was about ready to tell him to stay, but then again, why bother? He was mad at me now, or at least it seemed like it, so the best thing to do was to just let him do his thing.

"Ok, see you later?"
"Yeah, maybe," he said, and then continued to walk away. Sam then came through the door, and realized Tucker was gone.

"What happened?"

"Nothing, he's mad, I guess."

"Oh… he'll get over it, what did you do to him?"

"He's just feeling odd about all of this… I guess."

"I still am too, so I can't blame him," she laughed, but I just smiled slightly, still thinking about how I could make it up to Tucker. Oh well, that was something I didn't need to worry about anymore, he would get over it sooner or later, he always got mad at Sam, or I for things, and usually by the next day, he forgot all about it.

"Well, I'm gonna get outta here too," I told her, and she nodded her approval to let me leave the room. I walked out, and Tucker was still standing there.

"I thought…" I started to say, but then he covered up my mouth, and led me outside.

"What in the hell are you doing?"

"Valerie's in there," he told me quietly, and I shot a glance back at the door, then back at him.

"Really?"

"Yes, I didn't want her to know you were there."

"Oh… I need to go back in there then," I said, and walked back up to the door, and opened it slowly, but then closed it again, remembering I needed to become Danny Phantom for this. I changed, then continued inside. Sure enough, she was standing in the living room, as though she was waiting for me.

"Danny Fenton, I knew you would show up here sometime or another," she grumbled.

"Who says I would end up here?"

"Me, because I watched you walk in here. I told you I would be keeping a close eye on you. Now, how about we finish this whole war, and I can just kill you?"

"I won't go down without a fight," I threatened, but she didn't look scared at all, she looked as though she wanted that to happen.

"Oh? Really, I always like a good fight."

"Ok… but we can't fight in here," I told her, since I didn't want to ruin Sam's house, or cause a distraction to her, it was best to keep this a secret.

"All right, we'll take it in the park then," she told me, and headed out of Sam's house, down to the park. I looked at the door, and thought about just forgetting it, but I didn't want to cause further problems, maybe if she got her fight, she would just quit with all the junk she was throwing against me. And maybe she would lay off of it for a while.

I went out the door, and looked up at the darkening clouds, of course, they had to darken just because something bad was gonna happen. How odd was that?

I went down to the park, where Valerie was sitting there, waiting for me, as though this was her life long dream. She looked happy, and excited about it. Was she planning on killing me? That would be murder! Of course… she had already talked about murder before, so why not murder me? Then all of her problems would be solved… I guess.

"I'm surprised you showed up," she said, stepping forward.

"Why wouldn't I?"
"Because, you don't seem to be very tough," she grinned, and pulled out her gun, as though getting ready before it started, so she could attack the very second we decided to start.

"Let's get this over with?"
"Sure, fine by me."

She shot out at me as soon as she agreed, and I managed to dodge it though, she wasn't the best at aiming, but she had gotten better. I didn't want to hurt her at all though, I wasn't supposed to hurt people, but she was getting in my way, and she had threatened me, so she deserved every bit of getting attacked.

I shot out a ghost ray, and it hit her on one of her legs, and she leaned down to rub it, and I hit her again when she was down not paying attention. She got back up fast, and shot be with her gun, and I was so proud of myself, to the point where I wasn't paying attention, and she shot my arm. It ripped my skin open, but I didn't pay any attention, I couldn't get distracted like her, although it did start to sting.

"We can stop this whenever you want to," I warned her, before I hurt her to bad.

"I'm not quitting until you do," she challenged, and I just sighed annoyed. Why did she have to do this? If she was smart, she would have given up, but she had to keep going, even after I had nailed her two times with no problems.

"Whatever you say," I shrugged, and shot another blast at her, but this time she managed to avoid it. She looked at me impressively, as though she had done wonders. As if I hadn't dodged her?

She started to fly off in a different direction though, not turning back, she just kept on going. Had she given in? I doubted that, I guess I would just sit here for a while and wait.

All the sudden I felt something hit me in the back hard. It felt like a bunch of needles prying into my back. I turned around weakly, and saw Valerie standing over the top of me. I was starting to loose my feeling, in my whole body.

"You're over with ghost boy. I forgot about that weapon at home, and I figured that maybe you wouldn't be chicken and run away, which I was right! Now look at you, loosing your feeling, and soon enough, I will kill you, and finish you off for good. There will be no more problems for me."

"So your going to commit murder?"

"They won't care, you're a ghost, everyone wants you dead, I might even get a reward."

I changed back into my human mode. I was so weak, I had no choice but to. She looked at me amazed, realizing that she could get in trouble for it.

"Oh no…" she said, and took off, leaving me behind. How nice that was, huh? Now all I had to do was hope I wouldn't die out here in the park. I saw blood staining my shirt, so it had to have done harm to me, obviously. If I didn't die from damage to my back, it was going to be from blood loss.

"Danny?" I heard someone ask, and I turned to look, and it was Tucker.

"Dude, what happened?" He asked me, and ran to my side. I was starting to loose feeling at all though, whatever she had attacked me with had something to numb me really good.

"Valerie attacked me," I said quickly, I didn't know how much longer it would before I couldn't do anything.

"We need to call an ambulance or something," he said, which was obvious. But then what would I say when they questioned me for what had happened?

Tucker pulled out his cell-phone, and dialed 911, and put the phone up to his ear. Luckily he didn't mind blood, or anything like that much. If it would have been Sam, she might not have handled it as well.

"Yea, there's been an accident in Amity Park," he said, to someone who was on the other line.

"Ok, thank," he said, and clicked it off, and turned his attention back in my direction.

"They should be here any minute, after all, the hospital is right down the road," he told me, and I started to fall the rest of the way to the ground, un-able to pull myself back up. I could hear the sirens ringing across town, and knew they were on their way. Of course, everyone watching it go by, would wonder what was happening. Well… if only they knew, some 14-year-old might be on his last limbs, then they might care, and not be so curious about who was dying, or who was hurt.

I saw the emergency van pulling into the park, and doors opening up on it moments later. I didn't know if I would live or not, but I needed to let Tucker tell Sam something before I left.

"Tucker, please let Sam know what happened to me, Ok? And if I don't make it, tell her I'm sorry," I told him, before I had to leave. He nodded, not mad about the whole Sam and I thing anymore, after all, I might not even live past this day, so he had to pay his respects.

"All right, you wanna ride with him?" I heard someone ask Tucker.

"Sure," he agreed, and got up off the ground from where he was kneeling down next to me. I felt the people lift me up onto a stretcher, and soon I was in the back of the ambulance. I always wanted to know what it felt like being in one of them, and now was my chance.

"All right, we need to get him emergency care right now," One of the people in the ambulance told someone else.

"Yea, questions will be saved for later. Looks like someone got him good," one of them said, and I could feel them pulling on the spike that had dug into my back. I could still feel that enough to make me almost cry. Although I was a guy, if you had a needle, bigger than the size of your fist stuck in your back, you wouldn't be able to handle it any more than I was.

"We need to get this out, but later. Right now it's keeping him from bleeding to much, and as soon as we pull it out, we're going to have a mess."

"Yep, as for now, we just need to get him put down, so he won't feel anything."
I couldn't feel anything anyway, so I wished I could tell them that, sine I could at least hear right now, to know if I was going to live or not. The last thing on my mind before I blacked out, was Sam…

I woke up to a dim light shining down on me, and a room full of familiar faces. Sam, Jazz, my mom, my dad, and Tucker were all sitting in chairs around the room. There were also doctors, monitoring my status. I was amazed I was waking up again, I thought for sure I was done for.

"He's awake," one of the doctors said, noticing my eyes had opened up. I could feel a sharp stinging in my back after I stopped thinking about the people in the room. Obviously they had take it out, or I wouldn't be lying on my back.

Sam started to get up, but a doctor asked her to stay seated there, and she just nodded.

"All right Danny, we need to ask you some questions," the doctor said, standing over the top of me. He wasn't even going to explain what had happened with me, if I was going to be fine, anything, he just wanted to know what had happened.

"Can you please tell us a name, or description of your attacker?"

I didn't know if I should tell the truth or not. If I told the truth, there was not telling what Valerie would do. For all I knew, she would lie, and make up the greatest lie in the world, to make it look as though I was trying to get her in trouble. But then again, how could I lie?

"Valerie Gray," I told him honestly, and he nodded, and wrote it down on a piece of paper. He didn't seem like a doctor, he seemed more like an investigator or something.

"And, do you know why she attacked you?"

"She doesn't like me. She thinks I ruined her life," I once again said truthfully, although I should have lied about that one.

"Why does she think this?"

"I dunno," I lied, this time I couldn't say, because some ghost dog made a mess of her life, and she thought it was me, since I was a ghost kid following the dog around.

"OH? She has never told you?"

"I guess not…"

"Ok then… we'll go talk to her about it then, or at least the cops will, we'll get this all settled. Now, as for the next thing, can you fell any pain?"

"Yes," I replied.

"Ok, do you think you could stand up for us? Or do any movement at all, without pain?"
I lifted my arm, and a sharp pain dove through it, and I set it back down fast. Why was all of this happening?

"Did that hurt?"

"Yes."

"All right, let's see if we can get you to stand up then," he said, and lifted the blankets off of me, that had been lying on me. I looked down, and noticed I was in one of those gown things, that everyone gets in when they're stuck in the hospital. I stuck my arms behind me, so that I could try and get up, but every movement I made, I had to stop making from the pain. I got assistance by the two doctor's standing in the room. They got me standing up, and I could feel pain traveling through my body once again.

"Hold on, we need to change your sheets again," one of them said, and I looked back at the bed, where a spot of blood was left from my back.

"This also means we need to change your bandage," One of them sighed, and I looked around at everyone else, who was watching everything. Sam looked miserable, Tucker looked interested, my mom looked as though she was going to cry, my dad looked mad, and Jazz looked concerned. All of them looked different, and I felt the worst for Sam.

I took one step forward, since they had wanted to see if I could move, and I just about fell over.

"He's really weak, we need to let him recover for a little longer," one of them said, as he was removing the sheets, and a plastic sheet thing off the bed, obviously used to keep the actual bed from getting stained. They brought in new ones, and got the bed all fixed up, then they removed my shirt, and took my bandage off. It wasn't just a bandage, it was a thick, white wrap that went all around my body where the injury was at. The wrap wasn't exactly white anymore though, it was filled up with blood, which almost made me pass out, since I wasn't much into blood at all.

They wrapped a new bandage around, and I squinted when they tightened it on me. They also had to bring out a new shirt for me, since that one was ruined.

"All right, you can lay back down. I don't want you to have to be in pain much longer," the one said, and they both backed away, to make me do it on my own. I started to head back towards the bed, but I felt my feet slip out from under me, and one of them managed to catch my arm before I fell all the way. I felt like an idiot, but everyone in the room knew it wasn't my fault that I was hurt like this. Sam and Tucker knew that what I had said was true… well, some of it.

Once I was back in my bed, they both walked out of the room, leaving people to visit me. I shifted in the bed, since I wasn't comfortable at all.

"Danny, you poor thing," my mom cried as she ran up and hugged me lightly. Her eyes were watery, and she couldn't let go of me.

"Why would someone have done this to you?" She asked, thinking that I was the perfect angel, and didn't deserve this at all. I wasn't exactly perfect, but I wouldn't have wished this pain against anyone, not even Valerie, not even now would I, even though she had done this to me.

She moved out of the way though, so that Sam could come see me, since I wanted to see Sam in the first place. Not to be mean, but Sam meant more to me than any of them.

"Danny, what happened?"

"She challenged me, and I had no choice," I admitted.

"You shouldn't have gone on this far," she said, and a tear streaked down the side of her face, leaving a stain there.

"Don't cry Sam, I'll be fine," I promised her, but she didn't look to convinced.

"You just recover, Ok? I'll be here every day until you get out," she promised me, and hugged me lightly, then kissed my forehead. I smiled at her, but she didn't return it, she was to sad to smile right now.

I then heard the door swing open, and Valerie came walking in. Luckily my parents had left before hand, since they were gonna return after Sam had left. Valerie looked at Sam and I, then she walked up beside me.

"Look, I'm sorry," she said to me, but she didn't sound too sorry to me. She sounded like a joke, but that could have just been the way I was hearing it.

"Yea right, why did you do this to him?" Sam yelled at Valerie.

"I dunno, I just lost it I guess, no more fighting, Ok?"

"Like I can trust you?"

"Yes, you can. I promise you, I won't ever hurt you again," she said, dragging out the you, which meant she was going to hurt someone else. That someone was either Sam, Amy, or Tiffany, I was almost sure about that.

"You leave everyone I know alone," I warned her, but she just flashed an evil smile at me, before she left the room.

"Sam, be careful when you go home, Ok? Keep a close watch over Amy and Tiffany too?"

"I will," she promised me, as if there weren't enough promises being made that night, and I knew at least one of them were going to be broken.

"All right, visiting time is over, we need to do some work with him," one of the doctor's announced, and Sam took one last glance at me before she walked out of the room. I just hoped she would be ok…

Ok, this chapter might have been a little dull, but hey, I tried. It wasn't too dull at least. You got an update anyhow. Please give me at least 5 reviews before I continue! I will update as soon as possible!
