Chapter 12-

Walker flew into a vacant building and threw Danny against a brick wall. The building looked as if it has been burnt down and then rebuilt, then maybe burnt down again, and the construction workers had tried to build it back, but gave up from the rusted poles and burnt walls. Danny landed with a thud and bits of the wall fell on his head leaving him in a chalky dust.

"Get up," Walker said, but Danny didn't move, he just stared at Walker with big eyes questioning what had just happened.

"Where's Vlad?" he managed to mutter, suddenly concerned over Vlad's parent-like gesture. At that, he thought of his parents, his mother's face and what his dad was thinking. He stayed sitting, his eyes flashing green in anger. He got up.

"He'll get his end soon, don't worry," Walker smiled, stepping forward and punching Danny across the face. Danny took a step back from the blow and then attempted a punch at Walker which sent him flying into the opposite wall him, where some more chalk from the roof fell from the ceiling.

Walker got up, angry faced. "You just can't play by the rules, Fenton."

As he walked forward, Danny sent a green jolt through him, and Walker got up again, flashing.

"You little," Walker started, grabbing him up by the hair. Danny winced. "Freak."

Danny tried to kick Walker from where he was holding him, his arms tightly around his hair so that it wouldn't rip off by Walker's grip. The kick missed and Walker shook him violently, making Danny feel like he was on a broken carnival ride.

"You're over," Walker whispered closely in Danny's ear. "There's no reason to fight back."

Danny took a punch at Walker's face, but Walker pulled Danny's body away so it missed by a foot or so. Danny's fists clenched.

"You're dead, and you continue to fight," Walker teased. "It's almost resentful of such little power. You're too weak, you're too fallible," Walker sneered. He let go of his hair and grabbed his wrists and shook him again. Finally, Danny struggled free.

"And yet you fight back," Walker continued.

"That doesn't mean you don't have to be undefeated," Danny said, sweating.

Walker's eyes darkened.

Danny panted, tears coming to his eyes again in remembrance of the events, "I hate you."

"What a child thing to say," Walker laughed.

Sam's POV:

If Tucker isn't going to do anything, I am.

I've got to get to that building fast.

I ran up to a panicking lady, one of millions of people frantic in the streets, screaming. "Hello?"

She turned to look at me and grabbed my hand. "Where is your mother? Are you lost!"

"No, no!" I tried to pry my hand out from hers, but her grip was too tight. "Let go!"

The lady turned to me in confusion, looking around, paranoid. "I've got to get out of here."

"You can, you can," I said, annoyed. "Just tell me, did you see where that big white ghost took Danny Phantom?" I screamed over screeches.

"Oh, my," the lady said, clutching her heart. Her eyes suddenly went into hypnotized mode and she spoke softly, as you would in an apology. "Bless him."

And she ran away.

"Wait!" I called after her, but she was gone.

I ran up to a man in an office suit, probably on his way to work before this had happened, and grabbed him by the arm. "Sir! Sir! Excuse me! Stop!"

He turned around, eyes wide. "Where's Danny Phantom?" he yelled at me. "Where? We need Danny Phantom!" He was crying, tears forming in his eyes, knowing that the end of the world was over, and then shook me as if I had the answer.

"I don't know! Do you know which way he went? He's my friend! I know him!" I said.

"You knew him? He's a kid, he's just a kid," he said, whipping his eyes. "I knew his parents, his father..." he searched for the name. "Fenton, Jack Fenton. Danny Phantom's his son." He started running away again, but when I called after him, he turned around.

"He went that way, kid." He pointed left of where we were standing, to an old run down building that had been burnt in a fire about two years ago. I ran away, thanking him quickly and from the corner of my eye, he got in his car, and drove the only way out of town.

Running towards the building, I pushed aside pieces of wood and brought myself to the front of the building. I could hear pounding from inside and the building throbbed. I took a step in, but somebody held me back.

Paulina's POV:

"Sam," I said.

Sam turned around, surprised.

"Paulina?" she said, confused. "I have to go. Danny's in there, and I think he's hurt."

I was surprised she was talking to me in a level tone, not at all like we had ever talked before, and then I thought of Danny being thrown against walls by that mean ghost cowboy and I snapped myself back into reality.

"I know," I said, feeling myself crying. I could barely puff out the last sentence without choking on tears that leaked into my mouth. "I'm coming with you."

Sam stared at me for a moment, looking at me with conducement, and then she took my hand, pulling me inside the building.

For a moment, we walked up croaked stairs that we almost fell through. They squeaked as we stepped on them, and when I tried to talk, to ask her about Danny, she turned around and hushed me up, in a sort of harsh tone.

She whispered, seeing my face, "Walker can hear us, Paulina. We don't want Danny hurt."

And I nodded, looking down. "Sam," I said, not bothering to whisper.

And Sam looked at me, hushing me again and this time I whispered. "Sam, I'm so sorry."

Vlad's POV:

I stood up on the building, looking down at Maddie and Jack looking up at me. I changed back into human form, and the ropes fell off me, landing in a pile of the floor. I ran down the building and stood at the door of it, deciding whether of not I should approach Maddie and Jack.

I still needed to get Danny.

"Vlad," Jack said, coming up to me, and Maddie rushed o his side. "Please, go get our son."

I nodded, not looking at Maddie.

"Vlad," she said, crying and panting, "Please go get Danny."

And I nodded again, tears coming to my eyes at the sight of both of them.

I didn't feel myself.

"Maddie," I started to say. "Jack," I said.

But they both stopped me at the same time. Jack smiled. "You've been my best friend, and you still are." And Maddie hugged him, and it felt like she stabbed me in the stomach. I nodded at Jack and smiled.

"I'm so sorry Jack," I said.

Maddie looked at me, and I finally looked at her and then looked back down again. Quickly, she ran up to me and gave me a hug, and I hugged her back tight. We stood there for a while, until we all heard the building shake and Maddie gasped.

"Vlad, please," Jack said, reminding me and I nodded quickly, turning invisible and appearing in front of the building.

"Oh Daniel," I whispered.
