Summer Home

Chapter Eight:- Everything Unravels

Disclaimer: The ghost I mention here, Malcolm Foxworth, is not mine. He is used from the V.C. Andrews Dollanganger series.

A/N: There is some offensive women things in here and I want to say I mean nothing by it. It is just the charecter talking. I myself am a girl so by no means am I saying this about women.

"What?" Tucker yelled. He was shocked and he knew Travis wouldn't do something like that.

"He flew in, grabbed her, and flew out!" Danny explained.

"Ahhh!" Tucker ran into the bedroom, got out his cell phone, and dialed someone's number. "You better get over here now!" He said into it. He came out and stopped Danny from leaving. "Keep your head dude. Sam's in trouble and you need to stay calm." Only a few minutes later they heard a knock then the door opened.

Danny didn't waste any time. He went ghost and ran for Travis. He pinned him up on the wall with one hand while the other was glowing green ready to fire.

"Where is she?" He yelled. "Tell me or I won't hesitate to kill you!" Travis couldn't breathe or think. "Tell me!"

"Danny!" Tucker yelled running up to him. "Put him down and just listen!" Danny let go and watched him hold his throat coughing.

"What the hell are you?" He asked.

"Oh like you don't know!" Danny yelled at him, standing tall. "I'm the same thing you are, a halfa."

"A what-a?" He was actually confused.

"Danny," Tucker started. "Travis is human, all human." Danny stood shocked unable to think.

"What? You mean... how?"

"You're going to kill me." Tucker smiled and tried to make a small joke but it wasn't the right time. "Okay, short hand for right now. Travis is my friend from online. We found out that he knew Sam too. Once I found out he was going to be here the same time we were, I came up with this idea to get you and Sam together by making you jealous."

"Then who took Sam?"

"I don't know." Tucker had sadness in his voice. "This wasn't suppose to happen."

Sam was tied to a tree, hands behind her back and ankles tied too. Her hair was soaked from the rain and she could see her kidnapper's eyes. She had given up trying to break free.

"Oh Sam, I didn't think I'd ever see you again." He walked closer so she could see what he looked like. Minus the glowing eyes, he looked human. He had short black hair that was neatly combed. He was dressed in a grey shirt and a dark leather jacket. He had normal baggy jeans on and a scratch across his left cheek.

"Why are you doing this?" What did I do to you? What did the others do?" He got real close to her and yelled in her face.

"They were born!" He ran a cold finger down her cheek. "And you, you my dear," He said more calmly. "You killed me."

"Okay..." Danny wasn't sure what to do. "Tuck, go and report her missing." He nodded. "Travis, start looking on foot and I'll look by air." Travis looked a little unsure of what to do. Tucker gave him the go ahead. "We'll find her." Danny flew out.

"You want to tell me what he is?" Travis asked.

"He's half ghost due to a lab accident but barely anyone knows. You ever heard of Danny Phantom?" He nodded. "Danny is Danny Phantom."

"Whoa."

"Yeah, just don't say anything to anyone. Danny being surrounded by news reporters and scientists is not what we need. Got it?" He nodded again. "Good. C'mon let's go find Sam."

"What?" Sam was so confused. She knew that the man in front of her had died but it wasn't her fault. "I never killed you!"

"Oh but you did." He said. "You dumped me last summer and killed me. You broke my heart so I got on that plane home. You know what happened to that plane?" He asked. She already knew what had happened. "That plane blew up."

Danny had been flying around not really knowing where he was going. He was just looking for anything, anything that might help him find Sam. He wasn't having much luck though.

"Stupid! I'm so stupid!" He yelled at himself. "I can't believe how dumb I am!" After what seemed like hours and days of looking, he headed back.

As he flew closer, he saw red and blue lights flashing. He went around back and turned human before walking in the rain to the front. Someone's arm caught him.

"No one gets inside without the man's okay." The cop said.

"I'm Danny Fenton, my uncle owns this cabin, I'm Sam's best friend." He tried to explain but the cop didn't look satisfied. Tucker came out.

"He's okay officer." Tucker told him.

"So where were you just now?" The cop asked Danny.

"I was out looking for Sam."

"We'll do that. Don't be leaving anymore." He said before letting Danny inside.

"Yeah right." He said under his breath.

"It's not my fault the plane exploded." Sam told the ghost who was still in a human like form.

"Perhaps not. But it is your fault I was on it. He stepped away and turned into a form that made him look more ghost like. His legs were now gone and he was flying just above the ground with a cloud of dark smoke surrounding him. "If you wouldn't have broken up with me last summer, I wouldn't have gotten on that plane to go home and I would still be alive." She swallowed hard trying not to imagine it. Here was this boy she'd met last summer telling her it was her fault he's dead. She had told him to go back home, that it was just a summer fling and they both knew that. It was true she told him to get on that plane.

"So you want revenge?" She questioned.

"On every woman who breathes." He said walking closer to her again.

"Every woman? Why not just me?"

"Because this man I met, Malcolm, helped me see that all women are evil and full of sin." He growled a little as he started. "All women, all of them are evil! They all break our hearts and make us want them. You tease us with your curves and looks. You go from one man to another giving yourself away." Sam turned her head away trying to ignore him. "You know it's true. You do it. You broke my heart. You tease poor Danny when you go out with Travis and then tonight behind Travis' back, you lean in to kiss Danny." He turned her teary eyes toward him. "Face it. You're just as evil as anyone."

"What happened to the Shawn I knew?" She asked. "The Shawn I knew wouldn't have done this. Death changed you."

"No!" He shot lightning into the sky and it made her jump. "I have not changed at all. I've just become wiser. Malcolm had taught me just what you are!"

"He's brain washed you." She claimed.

Danny couldn't leave the house. The cops would know and that would cause more hurt and damage.

"We'll find her don't worry." Travis said putting his hand on his shoulder.

"Since I can't go anywhere, you guys want to tell me the full story of what happened here?" Tucker nodded and started.

"Well we met online when Travis bought my PDA. We started talking and a few months in we realized we both knew Sam."

"About a month ago Tucker told me about this vacation you guys were going to take and I realized that I was going to be at the same place for a few days. I'd already heard about your situation with Sam. Tucker asked me to help out by taking Sam out to make you jealous."

"I told him I'd pay for everything, dinner, movie, boat tickets, anything." Tucker continued. "Then this all started."

"But it still doesn't make sense." Danny said stopping them. "You showed up at two in the morning."

"You thought I was asleep." Tucker smiled. "After you left, I called Travis and had him meet you there. I knew it would make you mad."

"That scratch?" He questioned. Travis felt a blush creep onto his face.

"My girlfriend got a little rough with me that night." Danny's mouth dropped open. "She likes it like that."

"You mean you have a girlfriend but you were leading Sam on?" Travis nodded shyly. "Sam's gonna kill you."

"He helped me understand women like you!" He shouted in her face. She would have slapped him if her hands weren't tied. She did what she could though. She spit in his face. "You bitch!" He yelled after wiping it off. "I'll teach you to mess with me!" He raised his hand to slap her but stopped.

"Shawn please..." She tried.

"Stop calling me Shawn!" He yelled. "I am Shifter, master of transformation, descendant of Malcolm Foxworth!" His eyes glowed brighter. "You will fear me." He growled.

"I'm not scared of you!" She shouted at him.

"Maybe not, not yet at least." He sighed. "But I do know what you fear." He revealed a plastic box. She looked confused. "Underground."

"I think Sam's gonna kill a lot of people." Tucker told them.

"We can't just sit here and do nothing!" Danny shouted. "Sam's out there in trouble! I should be helping her!"

"Dude, we're stuck here." Travis said. "There's nothing we can do but hope for the best." Danny's head dropped to his hands and his eyes started watering. He had come so close and now he was helpless. He went into the living room. He felt a hand on his shoulder but he didn't look up.

"She'll be okay." Came Tucker's voice. When he didn't reply, he sat next to him on the couch. "C'mon, she'll be fine." He repeated.

"I can't loose her. I love her." His voice was scratchy.

"I know. You won't loose her, I can feel it." Danny just groaned. "We're going everything we can."

"Look guys." Travis walked in from the kitchen. "I'm suppose to be headed home in 12 hours but if it's okay, I'd like to stay and help."

"Yeah. We'll give you a ride when all this is over." Tucker said.

Sam tried to hide her fear from him. She swallowed and blinked back her tears.

"I pity you." She managed to get out.

"I don't need your pity." He got closer to her. He went behind her and untied her hands and feet.

"What are you doing?" She asked, her voice shaky.

"Run." He whispered in her ear. She was too frozen to move. "Go."

"No." She stood still. "I know if I run, you'll come after me."

"I give you a chance to run and you don't take it." He smiled. "You are foolish. The others ran." He walked in front of her.

"And they ended up dead."

"You always tell Danny you can take care of yourself. Prove it." He lunged at her knocking her to the ground so he was on top of her. He wrapped both of his hands around her throat cutting off just enough oxygen to make her pass out within a few minutes. "You're not so tough." He said as her eyes started to close. But with her last bit of strength, she reopened his cut on his face with a quick scratch of her own. He let go of her to hold his face and stood up. She started coughing and sat up. He growled at her then backed away while changing his form to a doberman. He forced the wind to high speeds so no one could hear her screams.

"Give me a fair fight you coward!" She yelled standing up. In dog form, he ran for her and bit her hand. She screamed trying to pull away but due to the winds, no one could hear her. After drawing some blood, he backed away and went back into a human form.

"No fight is fair my dear." He said walking up to her. He grabbed her hair and threw her down to the ground. He was about to stomp on her stomach when she rolled away at the last second. "Why even try anymore, Samantha?" She grabbed the rope and threw it over his neck like a lasso. "Ha!" He laughed fakely. "Do you really think that would stop me?" He went intangible and the rope fell to the ground.

Sam was out of ideas and ran. She could hear Shifter laughing behind her but when she turned to look at him, he wasn't there. She turned back to see where she was running and had to stop suddenly to stop herself from running into him.

"Foolish girl." He shook his head and grabbed her shoulders. "What did I ever see in you?" He dragged her to the plastic box. He made her intangible and threw her inside.

"Let me out!" She yelled but it did no good. She tried pushing up on the box to open it but it was locked.

"Say good-bye baby." He said as he watched the tears stream down her cheeks. "I think I'll pay Danny a visit." He changed his shape to make him look like Sam.

"No!" She screamed. She knew what was about to happen. Her whole world was crashing down as Shifter sent her into the earth.

It had been 20 minutes since Travis offered to stay but for Danny it felt like 20 hours. He was still sitting on the couch, in the same position, only now the tears were freely running down his face. He lifted his head when he heard her voice though.

"I'm so sorry I scared all of you but I'm really fine." He heard her tell the cops. He jumped up when he saw the cops leave.

"Sam!" He yelled and ran into her arms. "You're okay!"

"I'm sorry Danny." He heard her voice whisper in his ear.

"It's okay." He hugged her tighter. He pulled away slightly though to kiss her cold cheek.

"Danny, we can't do this?" His eyes shot open and his heart seemed to stop.

"What?" He asked as he pulled away. He didn't know what it was, but something told him this wasn't his Sam. "Who are you?" He asked

"It's me, Sam."

"No you're not." He turned ghost and backed away. "Who are you and where is she?"

"I'm saving you Danny." Shifter turned into his normal human form. "Saving you from that bitch."

"What are you talking about? Who are you?" Danny's eyes were glowing bright and his voice was firm and cold.

"I'm saving you from her. She killed me and she'd kill you too." He said.

"Where is she!" He yelled.

"She's where she should be, rotting in hell." He smiled and flew off. Danny's mind wasn't working properly and didn't follow him.

"Sam..." He whispered.

"Suivez-moi." He heard that little french ghost say. He looked up to see her in front of him.

"Go away, I'm not in the mood." He was about to turn away.

"Oh my god you're dumb!" She yelled at him grabbing his arm. "Follow me, I know where she is."

"You speak english?" He asked. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

"I know where she is. C'mon." He started to follow her forgetting about telling Tucker and Travis.

I know I'm late but Happy Holloween people! Sorry it's taking me a bit to get these chptrs up. I've been writing the chptrs on paper at school then just never type them up. Anyways... onto the next chptr... when I get it up that is.
