Candeh- Chapter 10 is already up... ugh. I may be rushing this but only because I love my reviewers. :)
Chapter 10-
In another reluctant change of places, Danny and Vlad awoke at the top of the highest building all of Amity Park. Walker stood before them, the other ghosts behind them, Vlad and Danny in their normal state, which relieved them both for a while.
Walker turned towards them.
"You best put on a show," he said.
Danny tried to get up, but it was just now that he noticed that him and Vlad were tied together around a thick, towering poll hurdling about a thousand of so feet to the ground. Danny had to remember what building they were on, and why anyone would make a building so high.
"The audience can't be disappointed when they come to see..." Walker laughed. "Because of course...it's almost like they paid for the tickets." Vlad gave him a confused look, and then titled his head downward seeing cars buzzing below them and the tops of trees swaying with the heavy wind; the rain barely starting where they were and landing somewhere scattered on the concrete. Vlad held back from barfing.
"Now, now, Danny," Walker said, grabbing Danny by the chin. "I really do want to make it all up to you."
Danny chocked, "What?" From the corner of his eye he saw Vlad try to sink through it, but he got shocked and his white hair stuck up in all different places and his eyes sent red cracks through them. Danny gulped.
"Now that the whole school knows, what about the whole town?" Walker let out a hand showing them all of Amity Park, the audience. "I don't think I should really call for a curtain call, nor even a rain check..."
"You have something with analogies..." Vlad muttered and Walker got red and kneed him in the back. Danny turned around to face his own house.
"Please don't let my parents find out," he said. He couldn't believe it either. He was begging to his enemy, something he had rarely ever done, and he knew it wouldn't even work. Walker laughed and Danny struggled to try and loosen the ropes again, and panted, wearing himself out.
"No, you're parents are going to know," Walker said. "Bad enough that fat, old, poetry teacher of yours had to. Looks like your school days are over? It's okay, Daniel, I hear many people can be successful with a freshman education. Of course, none of them were actually ghosts," he smiled. "Except the Box Ghost."
Maddie's POV:
"Jack!" I yelled. "Jack! Danny's at Vlad's!"
Raindrops pounded against the window and made my voice almost audible, but Jack came in almost instantly, coming to my side. "What?" he said. "Oh! He's sure to be safe with Vladdie..." Jack said, seriously and I gave him a sharp look.
"He sounded distressed over the phone, Jack," I said, remembering his whimpered voice. "Oh, Jack," I said, barring my face in his orange jumpsuit. Jack hugged me back, seeing my concern. It was just that moment our TV screen turned on, showing Vlad and Danny tied up to a pole. From the looks of it, every TV screen from my windows, turned to that too.
"OH MY FREAKING GOSH," Jazz said, instantly yelling from her upstairs bedroom with her own TV, "DANNY'S ON TV!"
Danny's POV:
I could almost sense myself being turned on in every channel, it was weird. Vlad turned to me, like an invisible bright light was on him too, broadcasting us to the world, and squinted his eyes.
This is bad.
From the very top of the building a soft muzzle of confused voices escaped the town.
I looked at my house, Jack and Maddie ran out, looking everywhere for the building they had seen on TV, spotted to specs on the top, and a million other ghosts, and screamed. At that, everyone inside thier houses came out to see us.
"Danny Fenton, age fourteen, frequent student attending Casper Highschool," Walker started, pointing to me, "Vlad Masters, age," he stalled, "180," and Vlad got red in the face at the lie, "well-known million-are and owner of the biggest estate in Wisconsin," he stopped, letting it sink it.
I could see my mom run inside the house, leaving my dad on his knees on the ground, and get a ecto ray out from the house and try to fire it at Walker. When it failed, Walker glared at her, and put a ghost shield around the building. No one was coming in. No one was coming out.
Vlad gave me a look, and then looked at Maddie, knowing his secret was about to be exposed, and hung his head low, almost teary eyed again.
In the ghost zone, when he came for me, I could see why he had been crying now. All along I think he knew it was going to get out if he had come for me, and if he didn't, Maddie would be heartbroken over the loss of her own son. In the process, Vlad lost both.
"You are looking at one of the greatest superheroes of all time," he pointed to me and laughed sarcastically, "and one of the...other ones," he gestured to Vlad, to seemed to take no offense now that it was over. "Both," he paused, stepping closer to us, but remembering to never turn your back in a performance, "Well, let's just see for ourselves."
He took his hands and instantly changed Vlad into ghost form. Vlad really didn't seem to care, however. He kept his head hung low, so Walker could tell he was teary eyed, and so I couldn't see his face. Gasps escaped the people below and they ran about, screaming for their kids, but Walker silenced them, changing me into ghost form, also.
I kept my face at the 'camera'.
The performance had begun.
