Chapter 4 (because I labeled the last chapter wrong. :o sorreh)

The only noises Danny could hear were his own faint breathing and screams from the auditorium. It was like the Twilight Zone - everything going extremely slow and voices in a sort of blend that rang in his ears like wind chimes with a slight stab of intensity.

"Danny?" Walker said, his voice, a lullaby.

Voices.

"Danny. Get up."

Screaming.

"Don't let them down, Phantom."

An eye for an eye...

"Too weak...defenseless...are you just going to sit there and let your friends have no hope?"

Like I can trust you, you know?

And then BAM.

A punch made Danny fly back against the hard wall in back of him.

A few gasps came from the ground, and then more screams, and footsteps around the room like scampering students, confused and afraid.

"STOP!" Walker yelled.

Imminently the room silenced and stopped running.

Whispers.

Whispers.

Rumors.

Rumors.

"I suppose you all want the truth?" Walker said, smiling, his eyes directed towards Danny who was barely standing up, with his hands on his knees like her had just ran for miles.

More whispers.

"I suppose you all want this to be cleared...before Danny Phantom is no more."

Gasps.

Whispers.

"And of course..." he turned to Mr. Lancer, who was still unconscious on the floor and then to the Principal who was looking at Danny in shock. "Danny Fenton won't be attending Casper High anymore..."

Danny's POV:

Oh crap.

Oh crap.

Oh crap.

This can not be happening.

I am exposed!

This can't be happening.

I looked around the room.

Great.

They want answers.

Answers.

What if I can't give them answers?

Walker will...

Walker would...

Oh this can't be happening.

"So Danny, they want answers, responses to thier questions, replies that you'll be giving them." Walker said.

I sat down because my knees couldn't give

"Get up."

I tried to get up, to obey him, because maybe he'd calm down...

"Get UP!"

A forceful ray came from Walker's fingers and forced me to stand. Ow. Crap...that hurt.

"So...who wants to ask first?" Walker asked.

Looking at the crowd, it seemed nobody wanted answers, but they all had questions.

Maybe questions are better left unanswered.

"You." Walker chose Valerie Grey from the crowd.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her forward, and I would have pulled her away, but I couldn't even stand.

"Ask, or he dies now," Walker said.

A hint of smile.

A hint of joy.

Laughter.

Pleasure.

No sympathy.

No respect.

No hope.

Valerie stuttered, looking at Walker, and then me.

I could tell she was trying to picture me, picture me as Danny Phantom.

I had to look down.

"I'm..." I said. I was trying to say I'm sorry, but I was cut off.

Valerie suddenly look enraged, her eyes widening and her fists clenching.

"Dammit, Danny, how do you expect me to feel sorry for you?" she said, crying now.

Crying.

I made Valerie cry.

"I'm so sorry, Vale-" I said, but she cut me off again.

"Stop it Danny. I told you I could trust you. I freaking told you I could trust you. And you just let me fight you? Try and kill you? Danny, are you stupid?"

"I.."

"Save it Danny. I don't get you."

How could she be like that right now?

"Valerie, please, I'm sorry."

Valerie's face got madder that before and Walker started to laugh and send a ray jolting at me and made me scream for a second. After that, Valerie softened, rushing to my side.

"Oh Danny," she said.

"Ow."

Walker motioned me forward, and I slid over, like I was on a treadmill and he grabbed my shirt. For some reason, this made me change into Danny Phantom, and as if the students didn't already know, a few more gasps escaped the crowd.

Walker smiled. Amused. He turned me back into Danny Fenton, and then back into Danny Phantom and it gave me a headache.

For a few more times he turned me back and forth and was laughing and while I kept changing he said, "See? See how you've been so stupid? Ha! How obvious is this? Hah! It's so obvious and you didn't even know!" His laughter was hysterical and taunting.

He turned me back into Danny Phantom and I sat on the floor with my head in my hands covering my face.

"Now who has a question for Danny Phantom?"

Dash Baxter stepped forward.

"I..I mean..it's not a question, really..." he stammered.

"Go ahead. Ask." Walker said.

"How did you keep it in so long?"

I held this for a moment.

How?

"I don't know..." I said. The question seemed meaningless, like it didn't matter.

Dash stepped aside, walking back to the crowd and then smiling at me. "You can do it, Fenton."

And even though we both knew I was a dead man walking, I couldn't help but smile.

Walker laughed. "Touching. Now are they're any more questions? No...? The let the execution begin. Let Danny Phantom and Danny Fenton, be a thing of the past."
