Chapter 3 Red Eyes

Danny awoke from the warm rays of sunlight shining in through his still open window.

He stood but almost fell down again. He felt really dizzy for some reason. All that had happened the night before was a blurr in his mind. He couldn't recall everything.

Danny used his bed post to help him stand. What happened last night?

He decided to try not to think about it. It was a school day so as soon as Danny was ready he made his way to Casper High

After school Danny and his friends all walked home together.

"Can you believe it!" Tucker said. "Danny?"

Danny wasn't paying any attention his mind was somewhere else. Even though he had told himself he wouldn't think about it, he couldn't help it.

Tucker leaned toward Sam and whispered, "What's with him?"

But she wasn't listening to him eather, she had hardly said anything all day. She couldn't take her mind off the night before. What was that whole thing about anyway?

"Sam! Danny!" Tucker finally shouted frustrated.

They both looked up, "Hmm?"

"Oh never mind!" he sighed, "You two haven't even listened to a word I said!"

They said nothing.

"What's the matter with you guys?"

"Sorry.." Danny said quietly. "I-I gotta go."

Sam watched him go, deep concern in her eyes.

"What's with him?" Tucker asked Sam.

"I don't know," she admitted, "But I'm going to find out." She ran ahead, "Danny wait up!"

He stopped and she ran up next to him.

"Are you busy today?" She asked.

"No, not really." he answered. "Why?"

"Would you like to come to my house for a little while?"

He looked down, "I don't know..."

"Come on! It'll be fun!" He thought about it for a second. "Well ok.."

When they made it to Samantha's house they went up to her room.

"What are we doing?" he asked confused. He turned around to see Sam locking her door and pasting herself in front of it.

"Hey! What the heck are you doing!"
"I've noticed you've been acting really weird lately. And Tucker's noticed it too! I'm not letting you leave until you tell me what's going on!"

"You do know I can fly right through your wall."

"And then you can explain how you got outside to my parents?"

He was silent..

"What's going on, Danny!"

"It's nothing!" he insisted.

"Tell me! I'm your friend! I can help you!"

"NO YOU CAN'T!" he snapped, "No one can help me..."

"I can if you let me try!"

"NO YOU CAN'T!" unknown to him he took his ghost form, "NOW GET OUT OF MY WAY AND LET ME OUT!"

Her eyes filled with fear.

"WHAT!"

She pointed a shaking finger at him.

He looked at his hands. What?

His eyes met hers. He could see that fear overwhelmed her. What? Why am I scaring my friends? What's wrong with me?

"Sam, I-I..." He couldn't stand looking at her, she looked so afraid! And what made it worse was he was the one who had caused the fear! He couldn't take it anymore. The next moment he flew through and out the wall.

Danny continued to walk. He didn't undertsand what was going on. Why was he acting so strange? What was going on?

Soon he reached his house.

It was night again. Danny sat in his room. Thinking about everything. He couldn't take his mind off this thing. What the heck was going on!

Tap, Tap.

Sam.. Danny thought before he had even turned around. Sure enough it was her. He opened the window.

"Danny! I've been so worried about you!" she said climbing in.

"Sam.. about.. before.." he rubbed his arm, "I- I didn't mean to, I mean I didn't know-"
"It's ok." she cut him off.

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine!"

"Are you sure?"
"Positive," she smiled, "Just as long as you tell me what's wrong."

He sighed in defeat, "I can't really tell you..."

Sam put a hand on her hip, "Do we have to go through that whole thing again?"

"It's not that!" he explained, "It's just that.. I can't really tell you when I don't really know what's wrong myself."

She cocked her head,"What?"

"It's hard to-" suddenly he stopped short. He groaned and held his head.

"Danny? What's wrong?"

He transformed and fell to his knees.

"Danny!" she fell down beside him, "Danny! Danny!"
Without warning, his palm cut through the air like a knife, pushing her hard in the chest and sending her flying across the room and into a mirror.

Then he was normal again. He looked around. "Sam?" he saw her. "SAM!" he ran over.

She was cut up pretty bad! She was bleeding all over!

"Sam! Are you okay!" he put a hand on her arm.

Her eyes opened, "Danny?"

"Sam! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-" he stopped short. There was blood on his lip. He licked it off.

"D-Danny?"

He looked at her and smiled. His eyes flashed red. He leaned toward her as if he was going to kiss her.

"D-Danny.. W-what are you doing?"
He bent his head and aimed for her neck. He took his ghost form.

"DANNNY!"
