Chapter Nine:- The Fight for Sam

Hey I don't know if any of you noticed or not, but Shifter has appeared in human form before. He ran into Danny when he went to get ice.

Sam lay there her eyes shut tight and her hands flat on the plastic no longer pushing up. Her eyes red and tears still falling down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry Danny." She whispered. "I'm so sorry." She could barely breathe due to her hysterical crying. She opned her eyes and saw nothing but dirt around her. She could feel herself tense up. She knew that within no more than ten minutes, her phobia would really kick in and she wouldn't be able to breathe at all.

She closed her eyes and prepared to die.

Danny was too mad and impatient to cry. He was following the little girl ghost who would hopefully lead him to Sam.

"Who are you?" He finally asked her.

"Je m'appelle Collette." She replied.

"Look, english please." He said getting even more annoyed.

"Fine." She sighed. "My name's Collette. I was Shawn's best friend when we were both alive and my age." She couldn't have been more eight years old.

"Shawn?" Danny didn't know what she said talking about.

"Shawn, Shifter, the guy who took Sam." Collette said. "I've been following him and I saw where he hid her."

"How do I know your not just leading me into a trap?" He stopped and asked.

"What other choice do you have?" He nodded and continued to follow her. After a few minutes they landed where the winds were fast enough to knock them over.

"Where is she?" He shouted. The winds started to die down.

"Tu es stupide Danny." He shook his head at her. "Where do you think she is? He buried her." He looked down at the ground worried. "I have to go!" She shouted suddenly and took off as fast as she could.

"Thank you!" He yelled after her. "I'm coming Sam." He said. As he was about to jump into the earth, someone knocked him to the ground. "What the?"

"You fool!" He heard Shifter yell. "Why do you want to save her anyways?" He asked pinning Danny to the ground.

"Because I love her!" He shouted pushing him off.

"How could you love such an evil and sinful creature?" He asked regaining his balance. "All she'll do is break your heart!"

"You don't know her."

"I think I do. I know all women." They stood there staring each other down until Shifter made his move. He turned to black smoke and floated closer to Danny.

Danny tried to hit him but it did nothing while he was smoke. He started yelling in frustration. Just ten, Shifter changed his form back to human and punched him before Danny could react to his change.

"That's why you pay attention." He said to Danny while he was on his back. As Shifter smiled, Danny moved his leg and in one swift motion, knocking Shifter's feet from beneath him. (A/N: I did that to someone before) He fell to the ground as Danny got up.

"Thats why you watch your footing." Danny stood over his opponent proudly. Shifter growled and stood up. Danny was about to fire a ghost ray when Shifter grabbed his hand and flipped him onto his back. "Ow... That actualy hurts." Danny said ust laying on his back.

"Get up and fight if you want her to live you foolish halfa." His eyes were glowing a bright red now. He watched Danny slowly stand then threw another punch that sent him back to the ground. "I don't know why the ghost zone fears you. You're weak." He laughed then kicked Danny's side.

"Maybe because I don't give up." Danny replied standing up with a bloody lip. Shifter narrowed his eyes to slits and shook his head.

"You're going to loose her and you know it."

"No I won't!" He yelled shooting a ghost ray at Shifter which hit him. "I'll never loose her! I won't!"

"You really think you-" He stopped when he looked up and saw Danny. "What the?"

Danny had a firm look on his face. It was that look that he rarely had on, the one that said he meant all buisness and wasn't in the mood for anything else. But that wasn't what shocked his opponent. It wasn't the fact that his eyes were glowing a dark green and showing hate. It was that his whole body was surrounded by a bright green glow that made him look like the most feared ghost ever. His fists were clenched hard and he stepped over Shifter.

"Where is she?" He asked. His voice was different too. It was deep and full of anger and hate. There was a slight growl as he finished too.

"Where she belongs, in hell." Danny bent down and grabbed the collar of Shifter's shirt. Once he pulled him onto his feet, he let out a ghostly wail then punched him back down.

Now it was Shifter's turn to stand with a bloody lip. He spit on the ground then ran at Danny. His anger caused his aim to be off when he threw a punch. His miss just caused him more anger which made it easier for Danny to dodge his throws. One of the times, Danny crouched down and the green glow that surrounded him, shot all over around him hitting Shifter to the ground in pain.

"Fine halfa!" He yelled. "I'm done playing fair!" He reached behind him and pulled out Vlad's device that caused Danny to loose his powers for a short time.

"Where'd you get that?" Danny asked backing away slowly.

"Vlad's a friend of mine." He smiled. Danny started flying away but Shifter was too fast. "Why do you let yourself get hurt by her?" He asked as he grabbed Danny. He shocked him with the device and Danny let out a scream as he was pushed out of his ghost mode. He just now realized how high up he was. "You are nothing to me." Shifter told him, then dropped him to the ground.

Sam thought she heard sounds above her but she thought it was just her mind playing ticks on her. Tears were no longer streaming down her face. She had no more tears to cry.

She just waited, waited for anything. She closed her eyes and when she opened them, she couldn't breathe.

Danny fell to the ground cold and hurt. He couldn't move his left arm. He lay there a moment, soaking in the pain. He didn't even need to look at it to know it was broken.

"I'm sorry Sam. I tried." He whispered as the rain fell down onto him. He closed his eyes passing out from the pain.

Sam couldn't breathe. She started gasping for air and coughing. She twisted and turned trying anything but all that did was make it worse. This is it. She thought. I'm going to die. She looked up and saw nothing but dirt. She was able to let out a scream before passing out.

I won't be able to update for at least two weeks. I'm going on a cruise tomorrow!
