Candeh- So so so sorry it took me so long to update. I've been so busy. I just entered quarter 3 of my school, so its hectic. However, I appreciate the emails telling me to update, I don't appreciate the remarks about having a number of reviews to update. I realized I have a lot of reviews and thank you. Love you all. :)
Chapter 2
"No."
Danny looked forward, weak, and afraid. He had been fighting this answer the whole time. His eyes shimmered, and finally took the approaching figure into shape. It was Walker, pushing his way through the crowd, smiling.
"Haha. Exposed? Already?" he said.
"Shut up!" Sam yelled. With a flick of his hand, Walker send her flying against the back wall, and land on the floor with a thud. Danny gasped.
"Please!" he panted. "Stop. Please."
Walker just laughed and the kids of Casper High backed up, trying not to make a sound. This was too much for all of them. It couldn't be! A fellow student, nonetheless a quiet and outspoken Danny Fenton, was Danny Phantom. It had seemed so obvious, yet so unfamiliar. Yet, like something they had been missing, and it was so clear, from the beginning.
"Sam!" Tucker rushed towards her lying on the floor and Danny caught a glimpse of a few students trying to make a run for the door.
"NO! No one leaves!" Walker commanded. He send a ray closing the door and the students screamed. Mr. Lancer still lay still on the ground from the shock, every once in a while gasping for air, and then closes his eyes back again like a bad dream.
"Danny, Danny, Danny."
Walker stepped toward him and Danny choked for air.
"Get away from me," Danny warned. His voice came out crackly, but strong enough for emphasis, but only made Walker laugh.
"Get up." Walker said.
"What?"
"Get up."
Danny stood up in the cage, struggling with all his might to even stand. The cage was too small for him too stand all the way up, so he had to duck, and balance on his knees. "Leave them alone."
Walker clapped and the cage vanished and Danny was left on his knees with nothing protecting him. "Fight."
"I cant," Danny managed.
"Fight," Walker said, sending a laser at Danny. Danny struggled, closing his eyes with a sudden bit of pain and then fell to the ground again. He was too weak to even move. "Fight, Danny Phantom. Fight. Give the crowd a little show. They want to see what they came here for."
Danny moaned.
"Leave him alone, Mr. Ghost!" Paulina said. She rose towards Danny with her hands outstretched in front of him. She caught Danny falling into her arms and gasped. "Danny, come on, Danny. Danny Phantom..." She whispered the name of the infamous superhero and it struck Danny in that moment that it wasn't him she liked. It was Danny Phantom.
Walker laughed and pushed Paulina aside.
"Take your best shot."
Danny swung a punch at Walker, but missed and fell to the floor again.
"Why don't you change into a ghost, Fenton?" Walker said amused. "Why don't you protect your peers?"
It was just then when the wave of guilt struck the students of Casper High.
Valerie looked at her toes and Dash and Paulina grimaced.
A few of the other students closed thier eyes, reflecting on the memories or pure high school torture. But who could blame them? It was survival or the fittest in highschool.
Survival of the fittest.
CASPER HIGH - TWO WEEKS AGO
"Danny? Oh Danny?" Dash Baxter yelled through the halls of the school. His voice echoed and bounced off the lockers, ringing through the ears of the students innocently walking the threatening bases. "I can find you."
It was daily for Danny Fenton.
Ever since Jazz had started tutoring him, he had been failing every test.
Danny ran as fast as he could through the long ways of the school, panting. He had just gotten back from PE. Another run was not what he needed.
"Oh crap." Danny muttered.
Dead end.
Danny looked up above him to see a towering shadow loom ahead of him.
He turned around to see the enraged Dash, smiling and laughing.
"An eye for an eye, Fenton. A F, for an F."
Bam.
Talk about an eye for an eye...
CASPER HIGH - ONE WEEK AGO
Valerie and Danny walked away from the high school, both of them relieved that the day was over.
"Thank GOD!" Valerie said.
"Hah." Danny laughed.
He had been glad that he and Valerie had became friends. It had been easier than before, when they had been enemies. He had been able to escape Dash for a longer time thanks to her.
Sometimes.
"I feel like I can trust you already, you know, Danny?" Valerie said.
Danny gulped. "Uh-huh..."
"And I'm so sorry that we couldn't be together...like...you know," she laughed.
Danny laughed nervously, the voice of Valerie ringing in his ears.
I feel like I can trust you, you know?
Trust.
Trust.
NOW
Walker laughed looking at Danny.
"You're pathetic."
Danny moaned.
"Now fight." he said.
"And don't let your fans down..."
