Chapter Six
The Ring Saw it All
"What do you all want?" Danny growled. "I don't have time to fight."
"Oh shut up, we're here to help you." Danny stared at Ember in disbelief.
"What? Why?" he demanded.
"Because, that stupid Lotus Ghost plans to suck you into oblivion with her."
"And we want to be the ones to do that." Ember nodded at Desiree. Danny blinked.
"OK, I guess that's a good thing."
"It is Danny." Clockwork appeared. "Nyula will suck you into oblivion if she successfully commits her plan."
"Wait, that means Sam will be sucked in as well." Clockwork nodded. "Why are you just telling me this now?" he asked.
"I forgot."
"You're the freaking master of time, how in the world could you forget?" Danny yelled, waving his arms around.
"It happens, give me a break." Danny slapped his forehead.
"Oh my God..."
"Hey, look over there." The Lunch Lady flew down to a weak glimmer on the road and picked something up. She flew back up and held out the class ring. "Does this mean anything?" Danny took the ring and looked inside the band. Sam. This was it.
"This is the class ring my dad gave me to give to Sam which I wanted to give to Valerie but ended up giving to Sam to hold." The other ghosts blinked.
"Child, what was the point of telling us that?" Technus asked. Danny shrugged.
"I don't know." Clockwork took the ring in his hand.
"This ring is connected to your friend's spirit. It can tell us what she felt and knew up to the point where she dropped it." Danny's eyes widened.
"Are you serious? What the heck are we waiting for?" he cried.
"Can you make it talk?" the box ghost asked.
"You need magic." Danny scratched his chin and snapped his fingers.
"Desiree, I wish the ring could tell us everything it can tell up." Desiree smiled and cracked her fingers.
"Now you're speaking my language." She waved her hand over the ring and it floated up into the air. A small, pale purple hologram of Sam with her head drooped and eyes closed appeared.
"Sam!" She did not open her eyes. But she spoke.
"An Egyptian ghost which possessed the jewelry box I bought overshadowed my emotions through my dress. She came to lust for Danny and tried to use my feelings for him against me by trying to force me to having sex with him, thereby giving her the power to devour my spirit entirely and force him into marrying her. I hear her plan. She will slowly take my spirit and plans to lead Danny into a trap to try and save me when she will actually capture him and force him to sit and watch." Suddenly, the hologram vanished and the ring fell back into clockwork's waiting palm.
"Sam..." Danny whispered, staring at the ring.
"HA! I knew they liked each other!" Ember yelled, punching the air. "Skulker, you owe me twenty bucks." Skulker grumbled.
"What the heck?" Danny asked, looking at them oddly.
"I bet you liked that goth chick and she liked you back against Skulker. IN YOUR FACE!" Ember yelled, poking Skulker. Danny blinked.
"OK..."
"Nyula has a trap waiting for you. What do you plan to do." Danny scratched his chin then snapped his fingers.
"I know! Box ghost, mind being bait this once?" he asked.
"I am the box ghost, the perfect ghost for bait." Danny blinked.
"Alright, I'll take that as a yes. OK, here's what we're going to do..."
With Nyula and Sam
Sam still laid on the ground. The demonic candle was next to her, still burning and giving off the orange smoke. Nyula smirked.
"This is going even faster than intended. Excellent! In forty minutes her spirit will be eradicated. Why is this? Is she weak spirited?" Nyula wondered. Sam sighed slightly as she breathed in more of the orange smoke. Nyula glowed purple and felt herself grow more powerful. "Yes, soon I will have Danny as a husband for all of eternity."
"I don't think so." A green ray blasted Nyula and she fell back into some dusty old crates. She grunted as she clawed her way up, staring manically at Danny, who flew in front of her. "Let her go."
"Danny!" Sam whispered. Nyula hit Danny with an orange blast of her own and he fell back into a wall.
"I don't think so! I'm possessing your little friend permanently. And you and I shall share eternal, wedded bliss." She punched a control box on the wall behind her and a special, glowing blue cage fell and trapped Danny. She flew over and locked it with a key similar to the silver keys in the game they played. Danny grunted and started to struggle as he tried to break out.
"Why can't I get out?"
"That cage is specially designed to trap ghosts. Only I can get you out and that's not going to happen for another...thirty minutes."
"Thirty minutes? I thought it took twenty-four hours to drain her soul."
"It should, but she must have a weak spirit that I can drain quickly."
"Oh no...the ring...when her spirit communicated with us it must have exhausted her." Nyula laughed and flew over to Sam who was looking at Danny with a sad look in her glassy eyes. "YOU FIEND!" Danny yelled.
"Oh sweetie, get over it. It's not like you're losing anything. I'm possessing her and you know you like her." Danny glared. "It's a shame you didn't tell her how you felt before. She spent many a night depressed and thinking of her love for you which could never be fulfilled."
"Wait, how do you know this?" he demanded.
"When I overshadowed her through the dress, I saw her memories. She wrote many little love notes and poems dedicated to you. Too bad that won't matter anymore."
"Sam..." Danny whispered.
Oh my gosh, Danny has been captured. Now comes the action scenes of the story. Wait patiently for the update.
