OK, my problem is solved and I can do what I want to do with this story. Hmm, I am guessing that this story will be over in about… 3 or 4 chapters. I KNOW, I KEEP SAYING THAT BUT THIS TIME, IT IS FOR REAL! There are two more parts in Freedom Once Again, this being one of them. After that, there may be two more chapters. Maybe three. OMG, I NEED TO BE CERTAIN! FIRST, I COULDN'T THINK OF A WAY TO MAKE IT MORE THAN 5 CHAPTERS AND NOW I CAN'T THINK OF A WAY TO MAKE IT LESS THAN 9!

Disclaimer: -yawn- I do not own Danny Phantom…

A Step Into The Future

Chapter Seven

Freedom Once Again.

Part 2: Freddy Got Us Lost.

Kirst dragged her body out of bed when the wake up call was heard. She had a quick shower and threw on some pink trousers and a black long sleeved shirt. She could hear the sound of rain pattering on the roof.

A knock was heard on the door and Kirst jumped; no one EVER knocked when she was here. "Yes?"

"Sir Vladimir would like you to join him at the breakfast table." Someone called.

"What happens to it after you eat? You chuck it out and buy a new one?" Kirst asked sarcastically.

"Yes."

"Ok then…. Tell him I will be with him when I have finished tying my hair up."

She brushed the knots out of her hair and grabbed a hair lackey that was on the bathroom bench. She tied her hair in two plaits and left her room. She was escorted into the breakfast room and saw that Vlad was sitting at one end, his food untouched.

"Glad that you finally joined me." Vlad was being sarcastic.

Kirst took the empty seat and ignored his comment. She looked at the table and saw bacon, sausages and eggs on her plate.

"I don't like any of this food, I will not eat animals, and it is cruel." Kirst told him.

Vlad waved a hand at a maid who grabbed Kirst's plate and took it away from her. Vlad started to eat his breakfast while Kirst looked into space.

"Here you are my lady, a nice hash brown, mini vegetarian pizzas, toast and a chocolate milkshake." The maid said as she placed the tray in front of Kirst.

"Thank you."

Kirst picked up her knife and fork and began to eat. She used her manners while eating, not wanting to get hurt by Vlad again.

Last night Vlad had punched her and kicked her so many times that she got bruised and even bled a little. Some of the bruises had healed but others were still there. They hurt really badly in the middle of the night so one of the nursemaids gave her something that might make it feel a bit better.

"Now that you have had a good breakfast, we are going to practise flying." Vlad told her.

"But I know how to fly!" complained Kirst.

Vlad ignored her and left the room. She finished her meal and got taken outside by the two male bodyguards once again. Vlad sat on a bench, reading a book. Kirst decided not to distract him so she sat on another bench.

"I will be back in a minute, you will not be able to escape so don't try." Vlad told her.

He got out of his seat and walked into the house. Vlad entered his private room and looked into the eyes of a young man, about the age of 15.

"Hello Bob." Vlad said.

"YOU EVIL THING! LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS!" yelled the man.

"I said that I would use you one day. Lucky I can make you look like a ghost and can control you." Vlad laughed evilly and walked out of the door after he had placed a sheet of paper on the desk.

When Vlad walked to the bench Kirst was sitting at, he saw she had a piece of chocolate cake in her hands. Vlad glanced at his watch and then back at Kirst.

"How did you get that? AND IT'S ONLY THIRTY MINUTES AFTER WE HAD BREAKFAST!" Vlad scared the girl.

"I know." Was her calm reply.

"Who gave her this?" Vlad asked.

"I don't know, we all looked away for a second and the next she was eating cake." Said the tallest male bodyguard.

Vlad went to grab the cake and throw it away to see that it was gone. Kirst licked her lips and smiled at the old man, tapping her nose.

"Well, come along, we have a long day ahead of us." Vlad told Kirst who groaned.

They flew around for 3 hours before they took a break. This time Vlad was paying attention to Kirstyn's needs. They flew for another 3 hours and went back to the castle.

"I have a very important business meeting today, I need you to stay in your room and be quiet." Vlad told the girl and left her room.

Danny and Kelly were the first to wake up. They crept through the house, making sure they didn't wake anyone. They went onto the couch and started to watch TV with the volume on low.

About ten minutes later, Valerie, Gregg, Ryan, Sam and Tucker came downstairs to join them.

"Where's Kirst?" Danny asked.

"She didn't come home last night, I'm worried." Val told them.

"Hey, I thought Mr Lancer was sleeping on the couch." Tucker said.

The man they were talking about walked into the room with a glass of water in one hand and a plate with toast on it in the other. He pulled a chair out of the kitchen and sat in front of the TV while eating his breakfast.

Soon after everyone woke up, they made a big breakfast. While they were eating, Sam, Tucker, Valerie and Gregg disappeared.

"W-w-where did they g-go?" Mr Lancer asked.

"I don't know… look, there's a note!" Danny said as he grabbed the note. "Dear people who saw these people disappear, don't worry, I took your little friends back into their own time… Clockwork."

"He always helps…. But why didn't he send us home too?" Danny was bewildered.

"I seriously don't know." Kelly sighed.

"Mummy, who are these weird people?" Sarah asked her mother.

Kelly sighed and looked to Danny who wasn't paying attention to her. "Well, that man over there -" Kelly pointed to Ryan "– is Uncle Ryan when he was 15. The girl over there is me when I was 15 and the other boy is your father when HE was 15."

"freaky." Replied Sarah.

Kirst returned to her room and turned on the TV which started floating instantly. "Hi Freddy." She sighed.

"Why all mopey and alone?" the TV asked.

"I'll never get home. Vlad is over working me and I really hate it here!" complained Kirst.

She watched as the TV thought. She jumped up and scared Freddy, causing him to fall onto the ground.

"I know, if you can switch with ANY TV in the world, what if you switch with the Fenton TV and while you're doing it, I can hold on to you! Maybe I will go with you!" suggested Kirst.

"Hey, it's worth a shot, hold on tight and get ready for blast off into space!" Freddy told her.

"Wow, if Danny were here, he would've loved going into space…. I'm ready!"

"5…"

Kirst held onto the TV with two hands.

"4…"

She closed her eyes.

"3…"

She chewed her bottom lip.

"2…"

She squashed a fly.

"1…"

She got ready to jump.

"BLAST OFF!"

Kirst opened her eyes and saw that they were in a jungle. She looked at Freddy who didn't float.

"Freddy?"

No answer.

"Freddy?"

Still no answer.

"Freddy?"

STILL no answer.

"FREDDY?"

The TV in front of her was broken and unplugged which meant one thing, Freddy and Kirst had been split up.

Kirst walked further into the jungle, trying to find her way out. She was following a trail of human footsteps because she couldn't be bothered transforming and flying over the trees.

Suddenly, a twig snapped. Kirst turned around but saw nothing. She looked beneath her foot and saw a broken twig. She hurried on, getting freaked out by the noises that were heard.

The wind was making noises and it sounded like a baby crying. Kirst broke into a run but didn't see a big tree root sticking up in her path. She tripped over and fell head first to the ground, unconscious…

Aww, how sad? He he he he, CHOCOLATE PUDDING! Lol, that was… random. Anyway, I hope u enjoy the chapter, I think I have sorted out how many I will have. I think I shall have Part 3 of Freedom Once Again and then 2 more, yay, and then I will have about 10 chapters total…

Read and Review.

Love Kirst…
