I was born to Walk in the Rain

A Danny Phantom Fanfic

Chapter 4

Liam placed his hand against the hospital wall. He cursed under his breath when all he felt was the ever-present feeling of the freezing water. Everything he touched felt the same to him, cold and wet. He hated it, he wished he had died some other way, but no he had to be thrown off a cliff into waters didn't he. He sighed then and began to sing lightly "I was born to walk in the rain…" He didn't get very far until he felt a sharp pain cross his face that send him flying.

He fell through a wall and then phased right back to look at whoever it was that attacked him. He stood shocked to see Sam and Tucker standing in the Hospital hall. Liam stared at Sam and Tucker for a moment. "What's going on guys? Why did you hit me?" Liam had put a sad and hurt look on his face.

Sam gritted her teeth. "You know damn well why I hit you, you psycho." Sam clenched her fists that just happened to now have a pair of rather strange looking gloves on them. "You're the one terrorizing people…you're the one that did this to me!" She hissed.

Liam's look of hurt changed into a look of utter shock. "What are you talking about?" he said. However, his thoughts screamed 'Shit, this never ends well.'. Liam had only been found out once in his short life and that resulted in his death.

"We should have never have trusted you!" She screamed and she aimed a punch right at his stomach. This greatly shocked Liam as he flew back a little because of the blow. He never thought a human could punch so hard, of course he had never heard of the 'Fenten Ghost Grabbers' before.

He fell towards the ground as he took a few seconds to realize what had just happened. He then showed a rather nasty look at Sam that neither Sam nor Tucker had ever seen before on him. That sweet looking boy was gone, replaced by the psychotic looking ghost that was not in a good mood. "Sam…I guess it's time for me…to finish you off!" He yelled.

Tucker stumbled backwards at the sudden change in the ghost attitude. It however did not change the expression on Sam's face. She clenched her fists and yet again went to punch the rather pissed off looking Liam. He tried to stop her by grabbing onto the glove when she punched, but she just pushed harder. Liam then let go and quickly flew over Sam's head. He flew past Tucker and into an empty operating room. He grabbed a scalpel from a tray of medical utensils and smiled widely. Sam burst into the room glaring at Liam. "I wonder what your heart looks like." Liam said laughing evilly.

Sam ran forward to try and hit Liam again but she ran forward Liam stabbed the scalpel into her upper arm. "SAM!" Tucker yelled as Sam fell backwards and Liam ripped the scalpel out of her arm letting blood flow down. Tucker caught Sam just as she was about to hit the ground.

She pushed her self out of Tuckers arms and screamed "I'm fine!" She glared angrily at Liam as he continued to laugh evilly. However, Liam was too caught up in laughing that he didn't notice what Tucker had pulled out of his pocket until it was too late. Tucker had a remote control with rather large flashy buttons on it. Before Liam could even finish his evil laugh pale blue walls had exploded around him. It took Liam a couple of seconds to realize he was stuck in a box! His look of triumph quickly turned to a look of confusion.

Liam reached out and touched the pale blue walls and his eyes went wide. He couldn't phase through the wall! His eyes then turned to slits as he began to scream "Let me out of here!" Sam and Tucker smiled at each other as they noticed that Liam was beginning to act frightened for a change. They couldn't tell if it was an act or real, but they didn't care.

"Not in your afterlife Liam, you're coming with us so we can sort this whole thing out. Your going to tell Danny the truth. You'll never escape the Fenten Ghost Trapper!" Tucker rambled. Sam promptly stared at Tucker as he was beginning to sound like Danny's father. Tucker laughed nervously.

"Why did they even make this? Don't they already have the Fenten Thermos?" Sam asked.

"Well, this is cooler because we can see the ghost we caught! Plus look at this!" Tucker said excitedly as he pressed another button on the strange remote control. The box began to shrink, getting smaller and smaller until it was only about 10 centimeters tall. Liam had shrunk along with it so he was now looked almost like a doll. Tucker bent over and picked up the tiny box. "Sweet eh? Now we can take him to Danny."

Sam groaned as she began to wrap up her bleeding arm with some bandages. "We don't have any time to lose, we got to get to Danny!"

Danny looked out the window at the cold gray sky looming over the city like retched stench of perfume loomed in the halls of high schools. He sighed and put his hand up to the cold window pain as the rain continued to fall. His cloths had dried now, but he still felt cold.

"Daniel, we're leaving soon" Vlad said coldly as he began to do up his black jacket. He was sort of shocked at first that Danny would go so willing with him. Whatever Liam did, it obviously worked quite well. Vlad hadn't asked Danny what had happened, so he didn't know exactly what had happened. He had no idea that Danny thought that running away would save his friends. He didn't know that Liam had disguised himself as Danny. He didn't know that Danny thought that it was part of him that attacks his friends. He didn't know any of this, but he didn't care. He had Danny in his grasp now and that's all he really cared about.

Danny sighed as he continued to look out the window. He mumbled "Whatever…"

Tucker and Sam ran into the hotel. They both where now soaking wet and Sam was half limping because her wounds had still not fully healed. She grabbed onto her side with a look of pain on her face. Tucker looked at her with concern in his eyes but Sam didn't pay attention. She was too busy looking through the hotel. They couldn't see a whole lot of people in the lobby of the hotel. The few in there seemed to be ignoring them.

Tucker began to wonder if Liam was lying again. Liam had told them that Danny was defiantly heading here. They walked through the lobby they began to have their doubts. The only people they saw here where some rich looking people, and a girl with a band shirt on half singing along to something. Sam at first thought of talking to the girl to see if she'd seen Danny but decided against it.

However, they did not have to search around for long, for just then Danny and Vlad exited the elevator ahead of them.
