Another chapter rewritten and about time too! I looked over my story again and I know I've made so many grammatical errors and mistakes. Once the chapters are all rewritten I'll send them to my beta so she can fix the mistakes I missed for me. Without your support guys I probably would have given up on this story, so thank you guys so much! Even though you've already read this chapter you might want to read it again for the revisions. Here's the sixth chapter of TSTL!

Chapter Six
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace
I love the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle light
I love thee freely as men strive for right
I love thee purely as they turn from praise
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhoods faith
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love the with the breath
Smiles, tears of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death
Emily Dickinson- How Do I Love Thee
Valerie stared ahead in shock, disbelief and anger at the sight in front of her. . . .
Not only could she believe that Phantom would even think about making out with someone at a time like this. . . .but he was making out with. . .
Sam pulled apart for she needed to breath slightly. Since Danny was in ghost mode he had stronger lungs then that of a regular human. They smiled at one another as peace shielded them for one mere moment.
Then the sounds of screams, cries and sirens broke the barrier and instantly their smiles became sadder. A tear escaped from her eyes and she let Danny wipe it away.
"Come on, lets go," he said as he kissed her forehead and helped her stand up. Holding her close he flew her out of Amity Park, trying not to look down at all the destruction. Valerie remained unnoticed, as did the shocked look upon her face. . . . .
'Sam? How could you? How could you betray Danny like that? How could you betray him for this ghost?' Valerie thought angrily and worried.
Should she tell Danny or not? She really needed to think about this. . . .If she told Danny then it would crush him. If she didn't then he would still find out anyway and be even more pissed off because she had not told him. . . What was she going to do?
"Honestly, Maddie I should have been there! Then we could have used the Fenton anti ghost ray and none of this would have happened!" a depressed Jack shouted angrily as his wife put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Jack, you know perfectly well that none and I mean NONE of this is your fault. . ." Maddie said soothingly as she sat down next to him. Jack sighed. "I guess you're right but the next time that ghost comes near us . . ."
Danny sighed as his father rambled on about how he'd destroy the ghost molecule by molecule with one hand tied behind his back blindfolded. Fires had stopped raging leaving a blackened cloud of ash and dust throughout some of Amity Park. Few houses, such as the Fenton's and Manson's, had been reached nearly by the fires yet they still stood firm.
"Sam, your mom wants you home soon," Jazz said quietly as she entered the partly scorched kitchen. Surprisingly some phone lines where still working. Sam was sitting next to Danny, holding his hand and ever so softly squeezing it reassuringly. Danny realized that his parents were to distracted to notice this.
Outside it was still gray and shadowed, the debris from the fires had entered the air making the sky look even more mournful. Danny figured that Tucker was over with Valerie, trying to comfort her. Part of him wanted to go over and see how she was doing, but the other part made him stay.
"Danny? Are you sure you're all right?" his sister asked worriedly placing a hand on his shoulder. Danny sighed. It was understandable that Jazz would be worried about him; he was her younger brother. He guessed that when she found out about his ghost powers that the worried feelings she had would increase even more. He appreciated her for not telling Maddie and Jack about his relationship with Sam. Danny figured that it was best they didn't know about his new girlfriend. Not all of the animosity was destroyed between the two families.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Danny lied. Jazz looked at him with a raised eyebrow as though she knew that he was lying.
"Sam dear, would you like a ride home?" Maddie offered quietly as she kept her arm around her husband. Sam sighed. "No thank you Mrs. Fenton I think I'd just rather walk,"
"Are you sure now, because you know it wouldn't be a problem,"
"I'm sure," Sam told her as Danny let go of her hand suddenly and stood up.
"Mom, would it be okay if I can go with her? Just to make sure that she gets home okay?" Danny asked. Sam opened her mouth to say something, probably to protest and say he didn't need to come, but Danny shot her a look that made her close it.
"Well I'm not sure sweetie, I really think it would just be best if you'd stay in the house," Maddie told him.
"Mom please?" Danny felt as if he could not stay in the kitchen or any other part of the house any longer. He needed to get out.
His mother sighed.
"All right, just please don't stay out too long,"
A mixture of smoke, air and ashes filled their noses as Danny and Sam took a step outside. Clouds still covered the golden sun that had once shown brightly a few hours earlier . Kids and mothers were heard crying as they stared up at their destroyed homes. Even a few fathers let tears fall for the homes they had spent their early lives building had now been destroyed. Danny shut his eyes and let Sam lead him for a moment, wishing hard that all of this was just one horrible, awful, nightmare.
"Danny?"
He reopened his crystal blue eyes and turned around, locking them with the bright amber ones that were right ahead. Sam had turned around too at the voice finding herself looking at Valerie Gray. Danny tried to smile but couldn't as Val walked up to the two lovebirds.
"Hey Valerie," Sam said smiling warmly for of course, she had already known of the teen ghost hunter's misfortune. She wasn't positively sure but then again she could have sworn that Val had given her an icy glance, one that was to quick for Danny to even notice. Her warm smile disappeared quickly as she recalled the many times Val had ridiculed them, before the whole ghost king episode had even started.
"You okay?" Danny asked Valerie as he let go of Sam's hand to give her a friendly hug which Val returned.
"I'll live, I've been through worse. . ." she told him sadly.
"Where's Tucker?" Sam asked trying not to frown.
"He's over with his parents, he was with me awhile ago but he had to go home, half of his house was destroyed and my house was completely destroyed," Valerie replied unaware that they had already known half of this news.
"Oh man," Danny knew what had happened to Val because she had already told him but he had no idea about Tucker. . . . What kind of best friend was he?
"What about you guys? Are your houses still standing?" Valerie asked curiously.
"Mine is scorched and we haven't been over to look at Sam's yet," Danny answered for the both of them.
"I just can't believe all this has happened, who would have thought a ghost could do so much damage?" Valerie's voice began to crack. Sure, she was pissed off but she was also devastated. . . .now where were she and her dad going to live?
"I can't believe it either," Danny agreed, mentally cursing himself for not being able to prevent all of this from happening.
"Danny? We should go, my mom is probably wondering where I am," Sam reminded him impatiently. Danny had looked over at her, causing him to loose eye contact with Valerie. Valerie took advantage of his position and glared at Sam behind his back which only made Sam scowl.
Ok, so she wasn't imagining it. Val clearly showed that she strongly disliked her at the moment. . . .she recognized that glare from the time before they were all friends.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Danny asked his girlfriend as he brought his hand up to her cheek. Sam just sighed and gave him a look that told him she really didn't want to be there. Danny decoded it and held hands with her once again.
Valerie sighed also and looked down at her feet. Danny still had no idea that his precious girlfriend was cheating on him. She wasn't sure if Sam knew that she knew but her plan was to make Sam feel as guilty as possible and have her be the one to tell Danny. Only problem was, how was she going to make it happen?
"We should get going, your mom is probably wondering where you are," Danny said sighing. Even as he did so a bright blue mist escaped from his mouth.
A very familiar voice chuckled spitefully as a gust of sudden wind came out of no where. The wind seemed to howl as it pressed itself against the three teenagers.
"Stupid halfa, you aren't going anywhere! Your precious filthy human girlfriend is,"
"Halfa? What's it talking about?" Valerie shouted confused over the howling wind, though Danny was too distracted to even hear.
"SAM!" He cried as an eerie green light illuminated his girlfriend. She screamed as the light levitated her up into the air, towards the newly formed green cloud that had once again appeared in the dark, shadowed sky.
