Now on with the story!
Danny walked into school more sore than he expected to be. It wasn't a shooting pain, more of a dull ache that throbbed when he moved. He met Tuck and Sam at his locker and they walked to class.
Breanne walked into school hurting also. The damage wasn't as bad as it felt, but it was more the fact that the pain carried over to their human sides that cause both of them concern.
The normal pressures of school life, pushed the thoughts to the back of their heads, until Mr. Lancer's class, where it was so boring, kids were counting the ceiling panels.
"Ok, today we're studying the underlying message in Shakespeare." Mr. Lancer droned on.
Several kids were drooling and sleeping including Tucker. Danny was absentmindedly drawing and Sam and Breanne were trying to recline in their uncomfortable chairs. Sam listened to the rain beat against the window she felt bad for any poor creature who was caught out there. Suddenly a brown wet and furry streak darted into the room.
"What the?" Sam said softly. The streak disappeared and she rubbed her eyes, she was seeing things. Lancer was driving her crazy.
Breanne knew where the streak was it was under her foot drying off, when it was dry it climbed up the outside of her leg and sat on her lap until it jumped into her sleeve.
"What are you doing here?" She whispered. It curled up in a ball and answered.
"Something very bad is coming. I can feel it, it's not good, not in the least." He said.
"Couldn't it wait, I mean chipmunks aren't normally allowed in class." She said. Flicker stuck it's head out of her sleeve and gave her an unhappy look.
"I came here to tell you to watch your back, everyone feels something coming." He explained.
"Fine, I'll be careful, but any details you can give me would be nice." She told him.
"I can't give you any, but Twitch is coming to give you more." He said.
"Twitch is coming!" She said in a high almost screaming whisper. "He's a squirrel! Your small you can slip in unnoticed but Twitch isn't he-" She was cut off by a high pitched shriek.
"It's a rat!" Paulina screamed. All of the girls except Sam began screaming and running. Tucker jolted awake his glasses crooked.
"My PDA! He screamed randomly, then he rubbed his eyes and stayed next to Danny as the squirrel raced around the room. The guys looked around to find it for who knows what.
"Where is it, maybe we can catch it!" Dash screamed.
"Children calm down, it's a squirrel. I'll just ask for the janitor." Mr. Lancer said as the girls shoved themselves into a corner.
Danny and his friends were stuck in the opposite corner of the room, where the window Twitch got in from. Speaking of Twitch the poor little guy was scared out of his mind. He was running in circles on the floor.
"Danny, don't do anything. Children do not go near the wild animal." Mr. Lancer warned.
"Twitch." Breanne whispered. Luckily everyone was watching the spastic squirrel on the floor. It was no use, he couldn't hear her, he was too scared. She sighed and looked at the poor squirrel, she hated doing this. She bent down and put her hand and closed her eyes. Everyone noticed her do this.
To the naked eye, it looked like she was just closing her eyes. But if Danny was paying attention he would see a tiny web of light blue strands reaching out toward the terrified creature.
"Twitch! Stop!" He heard inside his head. He stopped and looked around. He located the owner of the voice and relaxed.
"Go outside and meet me later." She told him softly telepathically. He looked at her nodded and jumped onto a desk and out the window. Sam looked at her in wonder.
"How did she do that?" She thought. Her thoughts were interrupted by Lancer.
"Ok everybody grab your stuff and go to the next class, apparently the squirrel was just here for a visit." He said as he flooded kids out of his room. Lunch was up next and everyone was happy for that. Sam though was suspicious, and she had every reason to be. That squirrel did leap out on it's own, Danny's amazing new friend had something to do with it.
They grabbed their lunches and sat down trying to ignore the "squirrel whisperer" comments. But an annoyance in the form of Dash came up to them.
"So Fenton I heard you and the animal freak over here are dating." He said. Sam choked on her water, as Danny turned around to look at him.
"No, we're not, she was new to the school I just helped her out." He argued.
Dash smiled at him. "Sure, then why were both of you late to class and covered in leaves and twigs?" Dash asked. They looked at each other, what could they say. Neither of them could tell him what really happened. What could they say, I flew into it on my way to school and I accidentally transported into it by mistake? So they lied, badly, but they lied.
"The wind made my hat fly into the bushes and I had to go get it." She said
"And I uh fell into a bush." He said uncertain. This made Dash laugh hysterically.
"Yeah alright Fenton whatever you say." Dash said and walked away. Both of them were blushing, and Tucker was laughing. Sam didn't know what to think, was Danny lying to her? She got a scowl on her face and decided she needed to talk to him. But the chance never came, with no electives together that day they couldn't talk.
This only made matters worse by letting Sam think to herself about the issue without getting the proper story. The actions Danny had done led her to think that he might be lying, and by the time school ended the homework and forgotten projects had pushed this thought back.
Danny wished for the rest of the day he could stay invisible. In class he and his newly appointed girlfriend were the only thing people could talk about. If he learned anything that day it was that rumors were not fun. In Home Ec two girls behind him starting giggling every time they looked at him. He groaned and slunk into his chair, oh the torture.
His "girlfriend" got the same thing. Everyone was staring at her and talking about her. This normally wouldn't bother her but everyone there was talking about her except her. When two guys smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up she blushed and hid behind her Art folder. "Get me out of here" was the only thought that crossed her mind.
When the bell rang two streaks could be seen bursting out of two classrooms. Before anyone could say "bye" both of them were out of there. Sam was now in a pissed off mood and decided to go home and write some dark poetry and listen to Greenday.
Tuck decided that this was one thing he couldn't fix so he decided to play videogames until his eyeballs fell out of his head.
Danny rushed into his house threw his back pack in a corner in his room and jumped on his bed. He put his head on his pillow and wished time would stop for a minute, just a minute so he could catch his breath and think. It didn't and as far he knew time-control wasn't one of his powers yet. He rolled over and pressed his CD player on.
He skipped to track number 7 and closed his eyes as one of the few soft songs GreenDay played floated through the room.
This sensation's overwhelming
Give me a long kiss goodnight
And everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing,
So give me Novocain,
Oh Novacain!
He loved this song, you could just melt in with it. It was true too, sometimes he just wanted everything to be numb, to not matter, to stop. There had been plenty of fights he had been in where he didn't want to feel a thing, that he wanted things to end. But somehow Danny Phantom pulled through and it made him wonder. What would happen if he didn't pull through, if Vlad caught him. He shivered a little, that will hopefully never happen. If it did though he'd rather have it happen to him than the innocent.
Great now he was thinking of a grim future, maybe he should play some video games.
Sam was listening to track 2 of the same CD. It was her personal healing song, whenever she was hurt or angry this song always helped. Also the fact that her mother did not approve of the song Jesus of Suburbia was also a major bonus..
Dearly Beloved are you listening?
I can't remember a word that you were saying,
Are we demented or am I disturbed?
The space that's in between insane and insecure,
Oh therapy can you please fill the void?
Sam sang along with it. How did something as depressing as this never fail to make her smile? She didn't know but she didn't care.
Breanne did the same exact thing, she came into her room and blasted Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known,
Don't know where it goes but it's home to me and I walk alone,
I walk this empty on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone
This was her song, it never failed to cure of writer's block or to help her out when she was trying to draw. It soothed her now, though the reason evaded her. It was a depressing, dark and moody song yet it always helped her aching soul when the need aroused. She dug her face into her pillow and sighed, she had finished all of her homework in a rare free period. Maybe she would take a nap, that always made her feel good. She stretched out and fell asleep on top of her comforter.
Danny finished his homework and tried to ignore what happened today by doing some training. Sam was on the computer, checking out some magic websites, doing some research on how to tell if someone is a witch or not. She spent the night doing that, and by the time 11:30 rolled around she had gotten a lot of evidence but she didn't register any of it, she was too tired, she fell asleep at her computer.
The next day was Wednesday, and no one could wait for it to end. Math dragged on, and Social Studies was more boring than ever. English wasn't bad, they got their projects back although they had no time to compare grades, but their would be enough time to talk about that at Danny's house.
"Hey Danny haven't seen you around, I barely get time to talk to you anymore." She said.
"Me too." Sam added, with a yawn. Danny noticed.
"You look tired, did you sleep last night?" He asked.
"A little, I was doing some research." She said.
"Hey guys, is it just me or does it seem like today will never end?" Tuck asked
"Yes, I'm still dreading gym class." Danny said.
"Guys we have 2 minutes to get to class, so we'd better stop talking and get going." Tucker said.
They finished their electives and at their free period Sam took out her research. She looked it over and tried to think if anyone they knew was the witch.
During her researching she realized that she knew who it was, it was at the tip of her tongue, she just couldn't figure it out. The bell rang to end the day and she along with every other person in the school raced to their lockers. Wednesday was over, only 2 more days until the weekend. She stuffed her fuzzy purple bat backpack with papers and left, getting to Danny's house faster than Danny.
She assumed it was because of a ghost attack, then Danny walked in with the only person to ever beat Paulina off of Sam's hate list. Tucker walked in right behind them. Sam glared at her, and she got an innocent look in return. Sam grabbed Danny by the collar of his shirt and dragged him to the other side of the kitchen.
"Do you have the necklace with you?" She asked.
"Yeah it's in my pocket." He replied taking it out. He handed it to her and she lifted it up by the chain. Before she had a chance to do anything though Danny put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes.
"Sam, can we put Danny Phantom's problems aside for today?" He asked. Sam's heart raced a little bit. What could she say to those pleading blue eyes?
"Sure Danny, I'll put it on the backburner for now." She said softly.
His eyes softened and he smiled. "Thanks Sam, it means a lot to me. For once I don't want to think about what could happen." He told her. He sat down next to Tuck. Sam stood there the necklace still in her grasp, she closed her eyes and went back to the table to sit across from Tuck and Danny.
"Ok so we all got our projects back. What did you guys get?" Danny asked
"88." Tuck said.
"97." Sam added.
"94." Danny and Breanne said at the same time.
Sam rolled her eyes as they smiled at each other.
Tuck was flipping through the pages comparing his and Danny's papers.
"How come we all have different answers?" He asked
"Because we all had different songs." Sam said.
"No, you and Breanne basically had the same songs and she got a 94." He said. "Oh wait there's comments on the back."
They all flipped their papers over and scanned the comments.
"Your paper was very well written, you wrote beautifully, except for a few grammar and spelling mistakes you did an excellent job." Sam read aloud.
"An excellent job but you needed to write more creatively." Tuck read.
" Wonderful writing, you should write like this in class. Excellent drawing also." Danny said.
"There-" She started to say but was cut off.
"Who's hungry, because I am so thirsty." Sam said. Danny shot Sam a look and she smiled in return.
"I am." Tuck and Breanne said grabbing a soda from the fridge. "Grab me one." Danny shouted.
"Can do." Tuck replied throwing him a coke. Danny caught and leaned back to the counter and turned on the radio. He leaned back too far and slipped out of his chair as he turned on the radio. Pump It by the Black eyed Peas was playing.
"I love this song. It's so high energy." Danny said. Breanne and Sam started singing during the middle of the song. They didn't sound bad, their voices contrasted very well and soon Danny started singing. Both of them stopped suddenly and listened. I took him a couple of seconds to realize they weren't singing. Breanne looked over at Danny.
"He can't be what everyone says. He's sweet and kind and clumsy, he's not dangerous. Maybe I got my facts wrong, maybe I'm the dangerous one. If I could take everything back I would." She thought.
"What?" He asked.
"Dude you can sing!" Tucker said.
"Yeah, I never really told anyone." He said. "Well except Sam." Sam smiled at the mention of this, Breanne just got annoyed. Her eyes flashed a different color for a second. No one saw it except Sam who gasped lightly. Suddenly she understood, the hair, the squirrel everything pointed to her. She was the witch. Sam grabbed Danny and shoved him next to the microwave.
"Danny! It's her, she's the one. She's been chasing and she wanted to kill you, I didn't figure out until now but now you can confront her. You can-" Sam said.
"What? Sam what are you talking about?" He asked.
"Breanne! She's the witch, can't you tell just look at her." Sam said.
"Sam, I know you don't like her but that's no reason to call her that." Danny said. She looked at him. He didn't believe her. But how could he not? All she ever wanted was for him to be happy, to be safe, and he didn't trust her.
"Danny, I'm serious, don't you see it? Please just believe me." She told him. He looked at her but didn't say anything. She backed away from Danny, she pin wheeled and took the necklace out of her pocket. If this really was who she thought it was this would hurt until no end. She started coming toward her slowly.
"Here I think you lost this." Sam said.
"No, I didn't it must be someone else's." She said as she felt the pain starting to hit her.
"Are you sure, because I saw this on your neck." Sam told her coming closer.
"I'm positive." She choked out, the pain was becoming unbearable, they must have already cursed it.
"Well how about I just give it to you anyway." Sam said and placed it in her hand.
It fell into her hand and she screamed and threw it. It bounced against the floor as she fell to her knees. Her eyes stayed yellow longer than before and Danny saw it.
He couldn't believe it.
She got up and looked at him, her bones aching. "Danny I-" She started to say.
"No, stop. I knew it was too good to be true. Someone who could possibly have been a friend. But no, you had to stab me in the back. Well I have a question. Why? What did I do to you?" He asked. He looked like he was about to cry then he closed his eyes and looked at her angry.
" I didn't know at first." She said.
"Well when did you know?" He asked.
"When I found out it was you, I stopped. I swear. I didn't want to hurt you, and then I wanted to ask you, if you really were the bad guy." She said. Danny and Sam and Tuck were at opposite sides of the table.
"How do I know that's true? I can't trust you anymore." He said and picked up the necklace.
"Because I don't have any power left. It took it out of me, I'm defenseless. I wouldn't hurt you. That's why when I told you I'd leave you alone I didn't come back, I stopped." She said.
"You don't have any power left? Well I can't let that happen." A voice said. Vlad phased through the ceiling. " This really isn't the way I wanted it but oh well." He said.
"Plasmius." Danny said and transformed. Vlad smiled "Oh please." He told him. Danny flew around Vlad, but he just grabbed Danny by the neck and threw him across the room. Sam cringed as she heard his back collide with sink faucet. He gasped lightly and his clenched fist opened and the necklace dropped out.
"Perfect." Vlad said as he grabbed.
"You leave him alone!" Breanne threatened.
"Oh right." He said. "Stop, hands up and let's make sure his little sidekicks don't go anywhere." He told her as Sam tried to rush over to Danny. One minute Sam was running for Danny the next she was being dragged and gagged by a vine that had wound it's way over to her. It held her and Tucker in there chairs and whenever they struggled it pulled tighter.
Vlad merely laughed, like a cat smiling at a defenseless mouse. He looked down at his puppet who was shocked and dismayed at what she had done.
"Oh don't worry your head, they won't feel any pain, why if Danny doesn't comply they're as good as dead." He told her the words dripping with un merciful joy as they left his mouth. He was knocked backward though when Danny came back and hit him in the back knocking the wind out of him. He turned around just in time to dodge a kick.
He smiled and looked downward. "Oh my little apprentice please throw him around like a rag doll." He said. She winced as if every disgustingly sweet, endearing word toward her caused her pain. He noticed and smiled at his work. Her hands quivered as they lifted and a blue hue came to Danny. Suddenly it felt like a 40 pound bag of sand jerked him backward into the cupboards.
He hit the cupboards hard. The back of his head hit the metal handles on the door and he fell to the ground. Vlad laughed.
"Very good! We make an excellent team." He said to her. He floated over to Danny and looked down upon him
"Don't tell me you'll join me. Wait, stick it out, I mean how much worse could the pain get. It's all fun for me anyway." He said and grabbed for Danny. Danny went intangible and slid through the floor. He grabbed Vlad by the feet and tossed him. He in turn fell against the table with a very loud and very painful crash. Danny put his hand to the back of his head. Blood, green sticky blood. It wasn't coming out to much. He'd survive.
Vlad appeared in front of him and blasted him back ripping his suit.
"Enough!" he shouted. "This is so any slim chance of escape you have left is gone!" He shouted. He threw the necklace on the ground with a crash. The spell that both Breanne and Sam knew could have saved them was gone. She looked, the last drop of hope in her eyes fading as she saw her necklace shatter.
He turned around. "Out of options now aren't we? I did my homework, I figured out all of this magic. It's so simple. I beat you and your lovesick boyfriend Ty at your own game." He said. The hopeless look turned to shock as she heard this.
"Surprised? Ha! Don't be, he was just as weak as you were, it wasn't even a struggle. It'll be just as easy as this whether I- well you make Danny Phantom comply or he dies in the process." He said. Danny got back up and blasted Vlad, one hit his shoulder the other missed.
"How did I know it would end this way?" He said.
"I will never give up Plasmius, ever! There's too much at stake." He shouted.
"Fool words boy when your on your last limb." He told him. "Throw him back against the wall!" Vlad shouted. Danny was jerked back and he hit the wall too hard. He was dizzy , he could have sworn he broke something.
Sam struggled to escape. No it wasn't going to end this way, just an hour ago they were singing and having fun and now, she couldn't do anything to get that happiness back.
"Make sure he won't move." He ordered her. She looked at him defenseless. No one had ever beat her at her own game, but he had, how? She wanted this to end, not Danny anyone but him he didn't deserve. She screwed up and now he was paying for it. Vlad took out Ty's book and flipped casually through it, like he had all the time in the world.
He stopped and smiled then he floated over to his puppet and showed her the curse.
"But no one is allowed to use that. It was created in a time of war. It's only used in a level 5 crisis situation. It's immoral, it's unconstitutional, it's-" She started to say.
"Perfect." He said. He closed the book with a satisfying snap. "Use it." He commanded her. She trembled slightly.
"No, I wouldn't, I couldn't." She told him her voice wavering.
"Your perfectly capable and you will." He said. "Do it or your boyfriend who you forgot will never wake up to see you again." He told her.
Deep inside she knew he wouldn't lie, he didn't care about Ty so what if he died, he wouldn't morn him. He was just being used and she was being forced to choose between Ty and Danny.
"Now." He commanded. She tried to fight it, but it was no use. The power left her and she couldn't stop it.
"Yes!" Vlad screamed.
Ok I know your going to freak but I'm stopping there! I know but you will get it! Just drop me a review and tell me what you thought. I would like at least 2 reviews before I continue!
