Chapter3. Old enemy.

"Alex Hunter!"

"What are you doing here?" A thin boy questioned.

"There isn't much time."

"Time? What's happening?"

"You must go to Emity Park."

The words hit him like a bullet.

" Emity Park." He whispered the familiar words with dread.

"Remember that time when….ha….when you tumbled into the pond because Tucker pretended to be a ghost?" Sam hugged herself with laughter.

"Yes." Danny growled his reply.

They were all sitting by the fountain, since Sam figured that Danny needed some space to take his mind of things. Here they were, hanging out like before, as though nothing had happened.

"You were wearing a rain coat too, so, all the water went….and it looked like you had just….. hahahaha!" They used each other for support as Tucker and Sam both keeled over in a fit of giggles.

Danny just rolled his eyes. "I would have thought you two had grown up a bit since then."

"Lighten up Danny! You were the most immature of us!" Tucker gasped.

Danny started tapping his foot. "Well I'm going to the chip shop, is there anything I can bring back for you two?"

"I soda would be great thanks!"

"Yeah, me too Danny."

Danny nodded his head and walked off.

"What is up with him today?" Tucker wheezed.

Sam gazed pitifully in the direction Danny had left. "It's been 4 years. Goodness knows what he's been through."

"Why doesn't he just tell us?"

"It could be hard for him. I think things are a little more complicated."

"How can you tell?" He straightened up.

"There's something there. I can feel it." She had seen something in those eyes. She caught a glimpse at something deep inside. It was like, he wasn't Danny anymore.

"What can't he tell us? I mean, we are his friends."

"Well, don't ask me!" Her voice sounded harsh even to her.

"All right all right, don't get your skirt in a twist."

Her eyes narrowed.

1 minute later…..

"arr, aaa!" Tucker yelled, dangling from a tree. "Get me down!"

"What do you say?" Sam looked up, smiling innocently.

"Alright, alright! I'm sorry!"

"That's better." With that, a screaming Tucker hit the ground.

Danny tried peering over the tower of chips and soda to make out his route. There he saw Tucker tangled up in a tree, leaves flying, legs wriggling.

Pathetic humans. Don't worry. It's not much longer. You won't have to put up with them much longer.

"What took you so long!" Tucker grumbled rubbing his back.

"There was a queue, and what happened to you?"

"Sam." Tucker shot an accusing eye at the girl who was now looking around humming innocently.

"Right." Danny dished out the pop.

Silence followed as they chomped and gulped, pretending they were occupied with the meal. The truth was, they were all starting to get a bit uncomfortable again.

Sam opened her mouth to say something, but shoved in a chip deciding against it. She hated this silence. But what was there to say. She wanted to know what had happened through the years, why he had left, where he went, who he was., yet she didn't dare to ask. It was then that she saw a hand slip under her nose and dive into HER CHIPS!

"HEY!" She whipped the hand away receiving a slight yelp from Danny. "Have your own."

He just grinned showing her the empty wrapper.

"That went fast!" Foley exclaimed.

"Wow. Danny I think you've beaten Tucker's record time."

"He did not."

"Did to."

"No way!"

"We started 2 minutes ago, he showed me his empty tray over a minute ago!"

Tucker's mouth gorped open. "You ate some on the way didn't you?"

"How could he his hands were full?" Sam defended.

Danny just watched the two argue over who was to be the new chip scoffing champion when mist escaped his mouth.

"Oh no."

"What? Danny, is everything alright?" Sam noticed his change in expression.

"eerrrr." How was he supposed to tell them that he was part ghost? May be he could say he left his wallet, and change behind a tree?

"Danny?" Sam lent forward.

A scream made her jump back. "Someone's in trouble!" She lept to her feet. Grabbing Tucker and Danny. "Come on!"

Danny just let his hand leave hers.

"This isn't our problem." He said, relieved that the ghost wasn't here for him. For a minute there he thought he was actually afraid.

Get a hold of your self!

Sam just stared at him for a moment, unable to believe what she had just heard.

"Danny?"

They're gonna suspect something!

"Actually. There's something I can do." He smiled, standing up.

A cliffhanger! (dramatic music)

pls let me know what you think of it so far!
