The chapter with only one of two to come of the biggest cliff hangers -tries to put on her manly voice- EVER!
Chapter 8:
"Still telling the truth?" Dash laughed, his eyes budging a little. A smile widened across his face as he stepped forwards. "So I can ask you anything I want?"
Tucker stepped forwards, his red cap ripped and almost split halfway down the middle. He answered for Danny with, "Duh, sherlock Dweeb."
Sam stepped forwards, nudging her friend in the ribs hard and fast. He backed away, clutching his sides. "No, of course not." But it wasn't as convincing as she'd thought as a swarm of desperate teenagers met Danny's baby blue eyes.
He gulped, sending a large clump down his throat and his hand quickly flew upwards to his face. "Hehe. Um...let's try to find a way out of here, okay?"
Paulina leapt forwards, a frog's tounge, rapping it's way tightly around a desperate fly, "Wait! You said you knew who Inviso-bil is!" She said, tossing her brunette hair thickly over her left shoulder.
There were a few corrections of: "Danny Phantom." But they were quickly ignored as they were said. Paulina waved them away with her fingers.
Bright blue sparks circled Danny's head, "Yes." He spat as the longer he waited, the pain in his stomach and head ached.
Paulina tossed a grin. "Why don't we play a little game, Danny?" She said, tossing her arm seductively around the boy's shaking shoulder.
Sam jumped in front of them quickly, "Hey!" She moaned, her mind twisting fast at a way out of the situation. "We don't want to trample him!"
Paulina lowered her eyelids, what was left of her purple eye shadow showed.
"Besides," Continued Sm, with a shrug of her shoulders, "It's your turn." And she tossed the dice throughly into the girl's hands and if it were burning into her own skin.
Paulina huffed as she opened her mouth to object the same time the dice was tossed from her palms. "Eight." She declared, reading each dice that showed four dots. "I rolled an eight."
Tucker rushed forwards, the game board resting flat in his palms. "Read it." He demanded quickly as he tried to peer for himself at the glowing green globe in front of him.
Sam tucked her head over the globe, the green light reflecting on all the teenager's faces. "Can you stand still, with out a move?" She asked Tucker as she shifted over to his wiggling.
And Tucker obliged, shifting his weight staidly to one side.
"The prison guard wake,
The dawn that rises,
You all seem independent,
In shapes and sizes.
How well do you know,
That one of you's not real.
Can connecting you together bring back their fear?"
"That was freaking corny!" Paulina cried as she stepped toward Danny, running in on the kill. But she was abruptly stopped as she felt a yanking back on her arm, "Ouch! Damn you, let go!"
"I'm not holding on to you, you shallow little-OH MY GOSH!" Sam backed away, sending Paulina falling with her.
The familiar green glowing handcuffs were bound tightly, holding the two girls together.
"Can connecting you together bring back their fear!" Sam yelled, rolling her eyes. "I didn't know it would be so literal."
"Well, neither did I!" Valerie's annoyed voice boomed closely into Sam's ears. She winced, as she realized that neither wrists were free.
"Why am I in the middle?" Sam asked quickly, noticing that the three girl's handcuffs linked them al in a straight line, herself in the middle.
Dash toppled over laughing as he clutched his side. "Oh hell, this is priceless."
"Well," Valerie laughed, careful not to bring the rest of the others down with any quick motion of her hands, "Your not so lucky either."
Dash blinked as he felt a slight shock towards his wrist. "No!" He cried, seeing the other boy bound tightly close to him.
Tucker blinked, he was cuffed around Kwan's arm nevertheless, but this, he decided at the moment to pull out his PDA and snap a picture, was priceless.
A digital photo escaped the camera of Dash's green glowing handcuffs bound around Danny Fenton's.
Danny lowered his eyes. "Well, I guess that's the hours thing." He said, rasing his free arm.
"Not fair!" Sam cried. "I'm attached to two!"
But it was ignored as Paulina hyperventilated to Sam's left.
"Well," huffed Kwan as he looked at Tucker, "Now what?"
"I guess we need food." Valerie sighed as she heard her stomach growl.
Tucker shot up at the chance to organize plans. He pulled out his PDA and clicked buttons rapidly. "Look." He said as he moved the screen around. "Sam and the other girls can go look for items for a safe shelter." His eyes moved toward the one advised by the game to stay away from. "That one doesn't look safe enough."
"And what about—" Valerie huffed, but she was cut off by another rumbling of her stomach.
"Got it." Tucker winked, "That's what Danny and Dash are going to do."
"Tucker and I will keep watch." Kwan said, smiling at theplan on the PDA.
"So...GO!" Tucker said, and just like that, the desperate race were off...
With Kwan and Tucker; Tucker's POV:
I shifted uncomfortably. The rock in which Kwan and I shared was the biggest rock on the island, and yet it remained small. I laughed, staring up at the light sprinkle of rain falling down on us. We were sitting, stranded on an island. I'd always thought that it would at least be sunny.
"So." Kwan's voice abruptly broke my thoughts with a loud boom.
"Yes?" I ask, my mind's thoughts shattered.
"Danny is stuck...telling the truth?" He twiddles with his free thumb.
"Yes."
"So, do you know everything about Danny?"
Hell, sometimes I wish Sam was here to keep me from saying the wrong thing...not just at the wrong time...at any time.
"Yes." I admit, but that doesn't mean I'm telling him anything.
"So, you know he knows who Danny Phantom is?" He asked, raising his eyes to mine.
I'm not saying anything. And it kind of was pissing me off that he thought I would. I'm Tucker Foley, for crying out loud, TUCKER—
"Yes." I reply.
A grim smile approaches his lips as he does so.
Whoops.
"New subject." I said, waving a dark hand in front of his light face.
Kwan backs away, he hadn't exactly expected that from me.
But he nods, his black hair flowing over his eyes. "So. What do you want to change it about?"
I look up at his jacket. "So you play football?" It's male, I realized that the second I said it, but it had got him going.
"Yeah." He nodded ever so quickly, with a bobbing of his head. "Want to hear bout the last game?
No.
No.
NO.
What did I just get myself into?
"Okay." I nodded.
And he goes off.
With Sam, Paulina, and Valerie; Sam's POV:
It had already dawned on me eight times that I was tied to a bitch and 'could be my best friend's murder.'
Paulina huffed as she bent down fast, without respect for me, tied to her arm. "Ouch!" I yelp, but she ignores it as she tossed hair again over her shoulder. It's the 100th time she's done that. It's bugging me so bad.
Valerie stepped out in front of me. "Why is it that Sam and I carry it the whole time while you," This is directed at Paulina as she continued, "pick it up."
"Oh." Paulina huffed as she heaved our fifth wood block into my hands, "It's harder than it looks."
I backed Valerie up, for once. "What?" I asked her strictly, "You gonna break a nail?"
Paulina rolled her eyes, she'd been bummed out ever since she'd lost the chance to ask Danny about Erm–Danny. I held my breath.
"What do you think he's doing right now anyways?"
Who? "Who?" I say what I'm thinking.
"Danny." And she notices my look, "Danny Phantom."
Probably trying to find us food.
While he's tied to Dash.
Getting asked everything that comes to Dash's mind.
The usual.
"So, you and Danny." Paulina continues.
Danny Phantom?
"Wait, I'm confused. Danny Fenton or Danny—"
Paulina sticks a sigh, "Danny Phantom."
"What 'bout me and Danny Phantom?" I asked, my eyes shivering. I was afraid she'd come to me with Danny gone and out of the picture.
I seem to be showing my nerves for she raised her eyebrows and looked at me with a grin. I shiver before shrugging. "What about me and Danny?" I ask again.
"I've seen you with him before." She replies. And I saw there in her face that she was jealous.
I like that look on her.
What? Why not rub it in? "Oh yea." I nod. "Yeah. What about it?"
Valerie only looked up fro her position as she pretends to bend down smoothly and pick up a stick. It's too slender for a shelter. I knew what she was trying to do. But she hid it pretty well, for Paulina hadn't seemed to notice she was trying to listen in on our conversation.
I had never noticed that Paulina had a touchy romantic side. She swooned as she pressed her face directly into mine. "What's he like?"
Exactly, and completely like Danny Fenton.
"Really, really heroic." I replied, coughing as I notice my own voice with a touch of romance.
Paulina noticed it too. "Are you and him..."
I shake my head. "I don't know."
And she smiled, as if she's won a contest.
With Danny and Dash; Danny's POV:
"Stuck telling the truth?" Dash asked me erupting the silence.
My stomach turns as I try to avoid his question, just out of pure anger. I felt like I was going to throw-up again, the pain in my stomach churned harder.
And I did.
I bent over quickly, pulling Dash with me.
He laughed a little as he watched me clutch my stomach, "It isn't that hard, Fenton."
I feel like a dog as I throw gravel over my left over food. "'Kay." I admit. "Yes, still telling the truth, Dash." He rolled his eyes.
"So." He said, narrowing his eyes downward to my height, "I can ask you anything?"
I answered before my stomach ached even more.
"Do you want to tell me anything about Danny Phantom?" He asked me.
"No." I shook my head, it was an obvious answer and he knew it.
"Do you think Danny Phantom Is bad?" He asked me, feeling like it was an easy one I could answer.
And I was actually glad he'd felt sorry for me. Who knows what I would have said.
"No. I actually think he's not." I winced, "What about you?"
Dash moved a little in his place, feeling like it was an awkward question.
We are moving slowly now. With my free hand, I reach and pull off a mango from a tree and toss it in a plastic bag. I have no idea where the bag came from, but Dash had it lying around. Dash always had stuff in his jacket. I guess this was less weird than the underwear that he had there.
Dash rubbed his neck before he answered, "I don't know. I voted twice in that poll."
He was talking about the poll on the news when Pariah Dark was in Amity Park. I shivered remembering that moment.
Silence.
It was silent for a long time.
Could have been an hour.
But I didn't have a watch. I didn't even want one.
Dash stuck his free hand in his pocket, "So how much fruit do we have?"
There wasn't really anything on the island in the first place. I sighed before, "Four."
"So," He asked, remembering my weakness. "Have you ever met Danny Phantom?"
"Yes," I admit, only a little bit of a stomach ache this time. But I remembered my identity crisis when I'd split myself in to. Not to mention that I sometimes talk to myself.
"Really?" His face lightened with interest, "What do you talk about?"
"Nothing really." And it to this day is the truth. "Why do you want to know?"
Dash rubbed his arm lightly. "YOU SWEAR YOU WON'T TELL ANYBODY?"
I shook my head, but he had been looking the other way. Thank you Lord, he hadn't noticed.
"I kind of admire Danny." He admitted, looking down.
And I blush out of modesty. "Really?"
Dash nodded, "AND IF YOU—"
"Okay. I got it." I said, lowering my voice. "But why Danny?"
"I hope you know, Fenton, that it's not you Danny."
I laughed, "I got it."
There was a sudden scream.
Dash spun around, sending me to the ground.
"What's happening?" Dash asked me.
I knew. I couldn't say it.
The pain wrenched in my stomach tighter.
"Ouch. Dash." I moaned. "I don't feel to well."
I passed out.
That was all I could remember.
Dash's POV:
Danny fainted, like I knew he would. During about a fourth of a mile I gave up dragging him.
I had gained more speed when I was carrying him.
Hell, there was no muscle on this kid.
When I'd finally reached the camp site, the others were standing around.
"What's going on?" I asked, anxiously.
I'd noticed their faces huddled around the game board, their skin had turned green from the glowing light the globe let off.
Sam's head spun around, being followed by the others, "Danny!" They'd obviously noticed he'd passed out.
There was a sudden gust of smoke in the air.
A skeleton-like ghost was floating above us.
He quickly snapped his fingers and we had all left the island.
Everybody but Danny woke up in a green court room, our handcuffs were gone.
I quickly spurred in his spot, his blinking eyes stared at the judge in front of us.
He waved his fingers, sending the teenagers into spots behind them.
"Court is adjured." The judge cried slamming his fist down on the podium.
The skeleton-like ghost stepped out from the shadows, his hands packed tightly behind his back.
"I, Walker, say we don't need a trial"The ghost shouted.
And thejudge nodded, looking at Danny.
With a blink, Walker replaced the spot where the judge sat.
He slammed his fist down hard as he declared, "We the jury of the court in The Ghost Zone, sentence Danny Fenton/Phantom, to death in the electrical chair."
Candeh- DUN DUN DUN. Read and REVIEW and I'll update the next chapter. But for this chapter. I've decided to give you a preview for the next one: (it's really, really short)
Chapter 9:
Danny, still laying passed out on the cold floor, woke up suddendly with a snap of Walker's fingers.
He moaned, rubbing his head throughly, as If he'd been hit really hard.
Walker grinned.
"Now," He said, his hands still behind his back, "Tell us all who Danny Phantom is..."
Now you must review this chapter to find out.
There might be three or two chapters left. It depends if you want me to make it longer or shorter. I'm thinking I'll squish it all into one and make two chapter's left so say goodbye...AND REVIEW!
