Chapter 10:

There was a flash of white light from the back of the room. Danny blinked; two bright green lights in the darkness.

Danny muttered something to himself, he couldn't understand himself either, but he'd muttered so lightly, that it made his head hurt more.

His whole body was sore, in fact.

"Damn, my head." He muttered, reaching for his forehead only to be stopped by the clanking chains around his wrist.

A loud echo around both rooms, made Danny spin around as far as he could. He peered blankly through the glass, watching the blue breath ease from his mouth.

There was a slam, and Dash's wet face had been pressed up against the glass, '"It was you?" He yelled, pounding hard on the glass in front of him. "Arg! I'm going to freaking kill you!"

He had felt like a child, in time out for some punishment.

Dash gnarled his teeth.

Danny winced, staring at the faces of his four other friends next to Dash, who's arms where yanked viciously off the glass by the others and was yanked back to the floor.

The room went dark, nothing but dark green light showing hot on Danny's face. "Any last words, Danny Fenton?" Walker's ghost face pressed close to his, Danny's flesh touching cold and hard.

"Last words?" Danny thought, his eyes flickering in the dead of the night. He couldn't think of any. He couldn't even think. He stared blankly at his friends' face from the back...

"Too late." Walker replied as he searched for any amount of hope in the prisoner's face. But Danny's face remained blank, his mouth open slightly, like he'd been locked tight in the position.

Walker wanted a reaction.

Something.

A flicker of bright fear on the phantom's face.

Nothing.

A blank stare.

But the skeleton-like ghost sighed, eagerly pushing the red dangling button from the ceiling.

Danny's eyes flickered blue and then back to green. His snow white hair had turned jet black and then back to white.

His face expression shot upward, as if his whole body was being shocked.

The two blue rings appeared around his waist and he was suddenly Danny Fenton, weak and gangling. His arms dangled low and his sweating head drooped left to his shoulder. It became cold, and his body had convulsed.

"Goodbye Danny Phantom."

Simple.

Sam's POV:

A scream.

And then...

Darkness.

Someone with long sharp nails clung hard to my hair. It had obviously been Paulina, for it defiantly wasn't Dash.

But I couldn't bring myself to saying anything towards her. The other's eyes glared staring at me. Wondering, with hope, what Tucker and I do.

"What do you two do when this happens?" It again was Paulina.

"What do you mean this?"

"When he–"

Dies?

The more I thought about him, the more I couldn't move. My friend was dead and there was nothing I could do about it.

My stomach hurt.

I felt like I was dying along with him.

But I was...only because I wasn't.

We sit, huddled together. It's quiet until I heard Tucker's loud swallow. "Hey look!"

A green light lights up his face.

"The leaves have dried,

Dead as a knob,

He's lost and gone.

Aching hearts throb.

Have you forgotten me?

I'm laying here,

There's something else that can bring you near.

Your friend is dead,

I'm sure of that.

The dripping red,

Rolls slowly flat.

The death is paid.

It's done it's price.

Can you change it?

Just roll the dice..."

He stared at the green light, his face glowing.

"There's still something we can do?" Kwan asked, pressing his face into the green light.

Paulina jumped to her feet, the green light off her face, "We've got to do something!" She rummaged around the ground for the two dice, laying.

"Anybody know?"

Know what?

"What we have to get?" Tucker answered for me. His face wet from the tears, but he swallowed the huge lump in his throat.

Dash stood up, his big arms brought back quickly and he thumped Paulina hard on the back, trying to ignore Valerie, who remained seated, her face still buried in her hands. "Just roll it!" And they toppled out her palms in an instant.

"Five." She said.

"Is that good?"

"Bad?"

The light turned put completely and I felt Paulina's sharp nails in the back of my head, like the claws of a vicious cat. I yelped this time, but she didn't move or let go.

In the dark, two blue eyes popped open.

"WE DID IT!" I yelled, jumping to my feet and sending Paulina flying. She'd gotten up anyways rushing towards me like a baby ducking.

But then the light faded from his eyes, darkness again and I'd felt as if we were in a hidden camera show.

"Paulina!" Danny's voice echoed through our ears.

Paulina.

Her name.

I'd recognized his voice when he'd...said her name.

There was a sudden moving motion and Danny muttered under his breath, "Paulina."

And at the mention of her name, the brunette teenager flicked her head in the direction of the ground on which he lay again. She grasped her thigh, nearing into his face and ignoring the newly found huffs from Sam in the corner.

"Ci, Danny?" She muttered, staring at the chest of the fourteen year old hero she'd not known was the same hero she'd fallen madly in love with.

A zapping noise filled the ears of the confused teens and as they grasped their ears to hide the sound, Danny's body lifted a tad and flopped hard back on to the ground, the dice in his hand spinning to the ground below.

And then they saw it.

The bright blue sky that had just seemed normal faded. It regained it pale green color and then spun darker green until it was glowing with envy of the color it had been. The board game in Tucker's arm's twitched and the marble was a dense black. It took no longer to notice the tiny purple card laying face down on the board's surface.

Tucker winced.

"I think you just have to leave him!" Somebody managed to say. "It's starting to flood already.

Paulina's name haunted Sam's mind.

"DUCK!" I warned her as I saw something silver approach her head.

And she did, diving low to the ground with me.

Everything was silent again.

Silent and dark...

Bang!

The sound of Danny's head hitting the floor boomed in my ears. I clutched them, tight and hard, blocking out the noise, but it wouldn't fade. I stared, blankly at his face in front of ours.

Fixed in a position as if he'd been frozen into place, Danny lay on his side. His two bright green stared, unblinking at our faces. His mouth was slightly open and the top of his head bruised.

From his white hair, dark crimson blood trickled down his face.

And then I saw it, a white hand reach out and grab him by the right foot. It pulled his face out of the light, sliding his across the floor delicately and smoothly, a trail of blood as he pulled.

I jumped up, the light flickering back on.

"Get away from him!" Tucker yelled, attempting to pull out the Fenton Thermos. But he realized we where already there.

With a violent effort, Tucker and I sped forwards, our feet carrying us faster and faster as our determination grew. From my backpack, I whipped out something new, it'd hadn't had a name, but I knew what it did.

I pushed hard on the green button and ducked.

Danny's POV:

I woke up on the floor of my parent's lab. Their expressionless face surrounding me. I jumped, leaping into the air, suddenly, my hands protecting my face.

Sam smiled, brushing off her black clothing. "Your Okay!"

I frowned, ignoring her for a second, and then glanced around.

My head hurt, my eyes were sore, and I felt sudden pressure of an ice bag being placed on my head. "I'm so glad your alive!" Paulina grinned, something in her eyes made me blush.

She batted her eyelashes and then shook her head, clutchnig it in her hands. "I don't feel so well either."

"I don't think either of us do." Tucker said, holding up his PDA. "And Danny's got a half an hour to stay awake." He lifted up his PDA higher. "According to this."

"You rely too much on technology." Dash moaned, as he stepped towards me and grabbed me shirt collar. "And you rely to much on other things."

"Put him down, loser!" Paulina squealed, yanking Danny from Dash's grip. Danny struggled free from her and backed towards the corner, a shadow of eager faced teenagers following him.

I rolled my eyes, "The sad thing is, I don't think it's all over."

"What'd you do?" Tucker asked Sam, "We just were blown here."

Sam smiled sweetly, holding proudly up a silver metal box, pocket sized. "Danny, explain."

I didn't realize my eyes widening, "It worked? Well, what do ya know!" Sometimes my parents really did know what they were doing. What the others didn't know was that it was simply a transporter form the ghost zone. It only worked when you really needed it.

I smiled, watching it flicker in Sam's hand.

"What happened with the game?" I asked, looking at Sam's face expression change miserably.

"Unfortunaly, were still playing." Sam said, looking down at the floor. "And you need to roll."

I clung tightly to the jail black and white striped tee-shirt I was still wearing and rapped it thickly around my palm. Paulina tossed the two dice into my hands, gently and backed away. "Eight." I said, listening to my voice echo in the lab.

The game glistened and the globe read, "Explain."

Paulina jumped, "Yay! Explain!" She scooted towards me on the floor, huddled around with the others. Sam, in the corner, shrugged, seeming happier we were out of the ghost zone in the first place.

"I guess your gonna have to." Somebody said from the back, a black shadow with her hands on her hips. "'Cause it better be good." Valerie frowned as she looked at me.

I sighed, here it goes..."Ask away."

Dash grabbed my collar again, "When can I kick your ass?"

Sigh. "Not now."

And he let go.

Valerie strode forward, wearing her red jumpsuit, you couldn't see her face, but I could tell she was mad by her body language. "Why are you screwing up my life?"

"It was an accident! I swear!" I yelled, and she stopped panting.

He shoulders stopped moving up and down. "It was an accident?"

I nodded.

"LIAR!" She pulled out her gun, pointing it at my forehead. I don't move, I remain calm. And she lets the gun drop to the ground, it echoes through the room.

She's gone, running up the stairs.

"Okay, freak." Paulina mutters, feeling proud until I dash her a look. I'm enjoying the power I have now, but I try not to take advantage.

"I don't know what else to say." I admit.

But I pull myself upwards, there are two shadows at the top of the stairs.

"Danny?" Jazz has hold of Valerie's jumpsuit. She stared at me, concern in her eyes.

In two seconds she is at the bottom of the stairs, her eyes wet with tears. "Your going to have to get so many stitches!" She looked at me carefully. "Mum and Dad will be home in. A few hours." She smiled as she added.

"And," Valerie says, "I owe you—"

But she can't finish. The game begins to glow and the globe glows bright green.

It explodes.

The rest begins to shake and the Ghost Portal bursts open, Walker at it's hands.

"No one escapes from my prison." He roared, echoing through the lab, "Not even Danny Phantom."

I back away, crawling anxiously towards the boxes on the side. "Going Ghost!" I managed to choke out. And I push myself eagerly off the floor, up to Walker's level.

He laughed, pushing me into Jazz and sending her falling backwards. She huffed, staring down at me, "Danny?"

"I'm okay." I said as I push myself into the air again.

At least, I think I am.

I kick Walker hard in the head, but he all but staggers backward. It's not the Ghost Zone. Becoming human again won't yet help...

Walker grabbed my left foot, bruised and bleeding and tossed me against the wall.

"Thirty minutes is up!" I heard Tucker shout miserably from the back of the room.

And just as Tucker had said, I'm out.

Tucker's POV:

Ha!

I told them he'd–Oh dammit! He passed out, didn't he?

The teenagers around me stare blankly at Sam, Jazz, and I. Their expressions wide with fear. "What the hell do we do now?"

I shrug.

I'm clueless.

And I don't know.

Walker turned towards Jazz, his expression on his face widening. "Another Fenton?"

Jazz ducked, and when she jumped up, in her hands she held tightly to the Fenton Thermos. "YEP!" She laughed, opening the lid. "Thank God for that."

His white body goes flat and he is sucked into the thermos quickly.

Jazz closed the lid hard and tossed it away.

And without a word, we grab Danny by his arms and legs and carry him to Jazz's pink car.

"Have you hugged your inner child today?" I read her bumper sticker.

But I don't smile as we sit without a sound.

Hospital Amity isn't too far away and I know the nurse we need to request...

Danny's POV:

I woke up in the hospital.

A familiar nurse is bent over me, her hair brushing in my face. I sneeze awake and blow her hair from my face. She looks surprised.

"Well hello, Danny!" Nurse Jillian said, brushing me hair back and tossing a box of tissues in my face.

I winced as she brung out a shot, the silver metal glistening in the moonlight.

"Hey!" I said, scooting up on the mattress, "Last time that hurt!"

And it hurt again.

I yelp as she brings it out, smiling.

"You sure are happy about this."I wince, rubbing my shoulder thickly.

"I just think it's funny." She says, smiling. Her hair has gotten longer and it falls below her breasts. She's developed freckles surrounding her nose. There's a huge one at her lip, that you could mistake for a beauty mark.

Nurse Jillian puts the lid on the needle and smiles as she notices my confusion.

"What's funny?" I ask.

She sits for a long time and leans over my shoulder, her kind face next to mine, "That they don't know." She backed away with a smile.

"Heh." I said, shrugging. "We'll it isn't too funny anymore."

And Nurse Jillian spins around, her smile disappearing as she noticed the teenagers huddle around my bed. She frowns. "I'm so sorry." She says and she backed away.

Jazz looked at me, noticing the stitches on my forehead. My left foot is stitched up along with my chin and my finger.

The other's face surround me and feel my face crumble. I can't take it and I realize I'm bawling I became quickly ashamed.

I buried my face in Jazz's arms and I feel her shoulder's move along with me. "It's okay, Danny." She cooed.

And she meant it.

And I sat up and faced them, my face wet as I lean my aching head on Jazz. Nurse Jillian grabbed a tissue and nodded as she leaves the room. "Your parents are on their way."

I feel more weight on my bed and I look to my left. Sam sits on my bed, her forehead stitched up. But she isn't the only one, I notice, as my eyes scan the room. Paulina is missing a patch of her hair, Valerie's fingers are stitched closed, along with Tucker's forehead.

Sam looks at me. Her eyes glisten and I back away as I blink. She has never seemed more beautiful, even in stitches.

"I'm so glad your okay." She said, scooting forwards.

And she came closer, wrapping her arms around my neck.

And we stare into each other's eyes for a long while.

And I know I'm safe.

Candeh- I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. PLEASE REVIEW! Reviewer awards if I get enough.

Peace.
