Chapter 5
Everybody wants a Piece of the World
"Danny!" Sam and Tucker yelled in unison as they ran over towards the two ghost Hybrids.
Danny turned his head and looked on in shock as his two friends ran towards him. He was not expecting to ever see them again. Especially not soaking wet and covered in blood stains. The water had washed some of her dried blood onto other parts of her cloths. "What, what are you doing here?" Danny's eyes dropped to the ground as he talked to Sam. "I thought you never wanted to speak to me again."
Vlad stepped in between Danny and his friends with a rather displeased look on his face. "Yes, haven't you upset the boy enough." Vlad had a rather cold look on his face as he looked down at Sam and Tucker. They both looked at surprised to see Vald, they knew who he was only because Danny had described him to them. However, They had never personally meet him in person. "Come Daniel, we're leaving." Vlad said placing his hands on Danny's shoulders and pushing him along away from his friends.
"LIAM DID IT!" Sam screamed. There was a pause across the hotel lobby as heads turned towards them. Danny stopped and squirmed out of Vlad's grip. He ran back over to his friends with a shocked look on his face. "It was Liam, he had some sort of ability that let him shape shift."
This made Danny's eyes go wide. His opened his mouth to say something but then he felt Vlad begin to pull on his arm again. "I don't know what this is about, but we're leaving. Now!" Vlad said forcefully. He felt like swearing; how could Liam get caught? Everything was going so well.
Danny ripped his arm out of Vlad's grip again and looked over at the guys with a shocked look on his face. "How can you be certain it was Liam? He never did anything wrong to us before." Danny said softy. Sam just sighed and pulled the little box that contained Liam out of her pocket. He was screaming and pounding angrily at the wall. He had a half-crazed look on his face that made Danny give out a yelp of surprise. He had never seen Liam with any look on his face except calmness and sadness.
"When I get my hands on you girl, I'll rip you to shreds! Then I'll stomp on your remains and set them on fire! And after that I'll find your ghost and rip your ectoplasmic body to shreds!" Liam screamed not even paying attention to the fact that his prison was removed from Sam's pocket.
By now the whole lobby was whispering among each other and was wondering what was going on. More and more people were beginning to form around them. This irritated Vlad. He did not want this sort of thing erupting in a public place.
Danny look of shock and confusion was slowly changing into a look of anger as he looked down at the little Scottish boy, who was a lot smaller now because the box he was in shrunk him. Liam then shot a look up and notices that Danny was looking at him. Liam's expression quickly turned to one of sadness. "Danny…" Liam said softly. "Please let me out, I didn't do anything. Why is Sam being so mean to me?" Liam looked like he was near tears now.
Sam gave Liam an angry look and gritted her teeth. Liam was really starting to piss her off. Who dose he think he's fooling now? Even Danny, who had welcomed the ghost with open arms before was now looking down at Liam with anger. "Danny, Liam killed a girl when he was alive. We found a newspaper article online about it." Tucker said looking over at Danny, and then to the irritated look on Valds face.
"Honestly, I don't know what your talking about!" Liam cried. Before Danny got to say anything to this information Vald had grabbed Danny by this shirt collar and began to pull Danny out of the hotel. Whispers erupted from the horde of people around the lobby and some slight giggling from a group of some girl band students. Sam would have gone and smacked them if she and Tucker weren't chasing after Danny.
Vlad had continued to pull the struggling Danny into the street until they managed to get into an ally way. Two black rings went around Vlad turning his white hair black and his black outfit white. His skin changed into a mint green that looked sickly on him. "We're going, NOW!"
Sam and Tucker stared in shock as they watched Vlads Transformation into the vampiric looking half ghost. They had seen Danny transform all the time, but this was different. It sent shivers down there spines. Vlad looked angrily back at them with his blood red eyes. Danny tried again to struggle free of Vlads grip, but when Vlad was in his ghost mode he was a lot more powerful. Danny nearly smacked himself for being so stupid, how could he possibly have trusted Vlad?
Danny quickly activated his own ghost powers causing two white rings to flow over his body. Vlad gave an angry yell as Danny now white gloved hand turned intangible and slipped out of his own black gloved hand. Vlad then shoot a red energy blast at Danny causing Danny to crash right into Sam. With that, Sam dropped the little light blue box causing a loud smashing noise.
Sam looked on in terror as a crazed laugher filled the air and Liam emerged from the broken box. His soft face was now looking over at Danny who was still toppled over Sam. Danny eyes widened as he saw a knife begin to form in Liam's hand. Liam just smiled, and ignored the looks of anger he was receiving from Vlad. Vlad was not impressed, the plan was on the verge of ruin because of Liam's screw up.
Liam was to far gone in his mind to care about the plan anymore though. He was lost in his hatred and for once didn't care that Vlad could vaporize him in a split second. "You survived our fist encounter, girl. You humiliated me in our second. Now on our third, I will rip you apart." A soft smile crossed Liam's face that seemed almost to contradict what Liam was just saying. However, the knife that Liam now clutched in his hard seemed to amplify the darkness of Liam's words.
"Don't touch her!" Danny screamed as he jumped to his feet. Danny's green eyes glowed with anger as he looked at the psychotic mess in front of him. Danny knew now that Liam's expression was just a mask to hide his own twisted thoughts. It was pointless to put that mask on now though, it was almost as pointless as running for cover after the tornado hit.
"Please move Danny, I don't want to hurt you." Liam said softly. Danny knew this was a lie. If he hadn't wanted to hurt him, then he would have never hurt his friends, and his family. That hurt him more than any physical pain Liam could cause.
Before Liam knew what happened he felt a sharp hit across his cheek. Liam stumbled backwards and he grabbed his cheek. Liam regained his footing and he looked back at Danny with anger in his face.
Liam then leaped forward to try and cut Danny with the knife but Danny turned intangible at the last second so Liam passed right through the halfa. Before Liam could attack again he felt a swift kick hit him across his side. Liam fell down to his knees and he quickly grasped his side tightly.
"You may be good at manipulating people, you may be able to shape shift, and you may be able to lie. However, Liam, you are a terrible fighter." Danny said as he began to walk closer to Liam.
Liam didn't respond. He glanced at Danny and he didn't move as the white haired boy pulled out the Fenten Thermos out of his backpack. All Liam did was begin to sing again. "I was born to walk in the rain…" Liam sighed as the light of the thermos came out and hit him, sucking him into the small container. Danny screwed on the lid and sighed heavily.
Vlad wanted to scream. He wanted to kill something. Liam had now totally messed up his plans. Danny turned to look at Vlad. "Vlad! I'll never forgive you for this!" Danny felt like hitting Vlad as hard as he could. There was no doubt in Danny's mind that Vlad was the one that got Liam to do these things to him. "I'll never join you Vlad." Danny hissed.
Vlad said very little to this, he just gave them all a dark look. "Never say never boy." Vlad said before flying up into the sky. Danny watched until he could no longer see Vlad, and then he let out a sigh.
Tucker smiled as he looked up. "The rain stopped." Even though he was stating the obvious it was nice to hear that it had actually stopped. The rain that had plagued the city for the past 4 days had finally lifted.
Sam stood up and looked over at Danny with sadness in her purple eyes. "I'm sorry!" she sobbed. This had totally startled Danny, he never before had seen Sam cry. Danny sighed and placed one of his white-gloved hands on her shoulder.
"Hey, Sam, it's okay. It's all over now. " Sam sighed and then quickly realized what she was doing. She shook her head and wiped off her tears.
Danny let go of her shoulder and then changed back into his human form. "Now, we should probably get you back to the hospital Sam." Danny said as he smiled at her. She was in depressant need of clean bandages, as some of her old wounds hand opened themselves again due to the fighting.
Sam smiled, but then almost fell over again because of the loss of blood. Tucker and Danny quickly went to support her so she wouldn't fall on her face. They all smiled at each other before heading back towards the hospital.
The End!
