Chapter two

I deeply apologise for the wait of this second chapter. I had to finish my Animal science module. I did not want it to fall behind so I manage to cram it in and finish, the module. It passed with a distinction! I have also updated the first chapter of this story. I am still yet to decide on how this story will end, however it is a long way to go before it reaches that!

Thank you to my few viewers who read the first chapter! I received the notifications, was incredibly happy. The first few chapters are still moderated as T… however it will change to M later. Without future of do, it's time to proceed on with the next chapter.

Pairings: Danny Fenton/Phantom : Sam Manson

Other characters: Maddie F, Jack F, Jazz F, Tucker.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny phantom. I do own the plot!

Sam moves in

xD~Sx

Danny awoke first, not by an irritation sound from his alarm clock, instead it was from the aroma smell of pancakes roaming around his room 'Hmm pancakes' he thought. Sam was still tucked up in his arms. A small smile appeared on his face, however that smile soon vanished when he saw fresh marks on her neck. His arms tightened around her, he desperately needed to talk to his parents before she was up. He removed himself from her petite form and made his way down to the kitchen.

Music was blaring from the radio, his mum was singing along to Abba, dancing queen… He rolled his eyes. His Dad was sitting at the kitchen table reading the Amityville newspaper. "Morning guys." Danny said. He sat himself down at the table "See Jack, told you the pancakes would wake the kid's up." Maddie said. Jack laughed. She was right! Women are always right. "Guys, we need to talk" Danny said, on a serious tone. His mum and dad gave him a funny look. Maddie joined the two at the table after she had piled up the pancakes or a large plate and placed some maple syrup next to it "sure kiddo, what's up? School work getting to you?" Maddie asked. She handed her son a small plate for him to stack some freshly made pancakes.

"It's Sam, I need her to live with us. Her father attacked her mother last night Sam included." Danny said, his muscles became tense as Jack quickly placed down his new paper "He did what?!" Said Jack. Shocked by what Danny had just said. "He hurt Sam.. " Danny said in a loud triggered angry voice. " he was under the influence of alcohol. He was out of control. Mrs Manson said, it wasn't the first time she had dealt with his drinking problems. She mentioned it was the first time where he has Physically attacked Sam" Danny added. Maddie and jack stared at each other in disbelief. Neither of them would have thought that some thing like this would ever happen. As far as they where aware, the Manson family where very wealthy and had a very normal life. "Are you sure Danny?" Danny nodded. He stared at his mother, more anger started to rise within him. "Sam came to me this morning. I've never seen her in such a state... her mother was a lot worse. I flew over to her house to check on her mother to see if she was alive." Said Danny. Maddie sat herself down at the table. She was now officially in shock. Shocked more that her son had dealt with this whilst they where fast asleep. The thought of eating pancakes had now gone completely out of the window. Instead she just wanted to hurl up last nights dinner.

"What happened to her mother? Where is she? is she alive? Where's her father now?" Asked Jack. Danny struggled to answer the following questions. Just then a strong positive memory struck his thoughts, it was Sam's mother's word's reminding him of what she had asked him to do... (even though he did what she asked, already.) 'Promise me, you'll protect her'. "She's safe but gone, she needed to get away. She knew Sam's life was here. Which is why she couldn't take her with her. It would have torn Sam apart. As for Sam's father he disappeared no one knows where. Which is why I need to protect her" Danny said. He looked at his parents. He could tell they where dumbstruck by the bombshell question and for what happened during the night. He hated that he's done it in an awkward time, he needed to do it now. He wanted Sam to know that she was safe being here with him.

"Danny, how would we be able to financially afford Sam's well being?" Maddie asked. Happiness came across his mind... his mum was on his side. She might not have said yes yet, but those words where on the line of considerable answers. "Her mum said, she would be able to pay for Sam's funds whilst she stays here. Knowing she is safe. Was all she cared about." Danny said. This time Danny looked at his dad. He was being quiet the most. "Son... I don't have any issues with Sam staying with us. She's always been apart of our family weather she is a Fenton or not. I am happy for Sam to stay. No mankind can call himself a father/husband. If he dares to touch his own children or wife un appropriately." Said Jack, Danny got up from where he sat and hugged his dad. Small quiet sobs can be heard from his mum. Danny went over to her next and embraced her with a huge hug. "Thank you." Danny said in a light whispering voice. "Daniel this still means that your bedroom door must be open at least two inches!" A laugh came from Danny. Trust his mum to come out with something worrying like this. "Suure...Can we have pancakes now.. it's kinda hard being a superhero! Mans gotta eat to gain some energy source!" They all laughed. Maddie began to pile a plate of pancakes for her great for her son.

Upstairs, in Danny's room. Sam had woken up from her sleep. She looked at the bedside clock 10:34am "wow.. I never sleep in this late " she said. I guess she couldn't really blame herself for allowing her to have the one odd lay in on a weekend. After all, last night events weren't exactly great. Most importantly how would Danny even be able to look at her in the same way? She didn't want him to picture her as a weak person, because she had failed to protect herself from her own father.. I mean she helps fights ghosts away! Why was she not able to defend herself?

Sam clenched her hands and lightly punched the bed. She felt frustrated! She needed to get out of bed. She forced herself out of his bed. Besides his bed was her purple duffled bag... she hadn't packed this.. she was sure on it. She knew it was hers though. But the question that rumbled her thoughts was.. 'how did it get here and by whom?' Further more, Sam unzipped her bag where a letter popped out on top of her clothes. She picked the letter up, it had her name written on the envelope. She leaned herself against Danny's bed and began to read the letter

Dear Sammy,

Please do not hate me for leaving you in this current situation. I have not left you forever. I am however leaving you with the hands of your lover/soulmate. Your guardian angel. My dearest Samantha, I am so deeply sorry that you had to witness the real side of what your father is truly like.

I have had to deal with this all my life. I have always been their to protect you from seeing this. My body has been your barrier from that monster. When I saw his hands on you, I flipped! I needed you to be safe. He has never taken his addiction this far. I had to do what was right, to fight him off... I used what I could. He is very much alive. He ran away when I threatened to ruin his company. If he did not leave.

Samantha, I need to be free for awhile, so I can gather my thoughts and do what I think is right. Whilst I am away... I would like you to stay at the Fentons. I have your funds covered. I want you to carry on with your education. When I return we will be a family. I am so happy that you have Daniel. I am very extra happy knowing that he will keep you safe. Since he exposed us, his secret.. of being ghost boy and his romantic feelings for you.. I have never stopped doubting Daniel or being proud of that boy.

I love you,

My Sammy.

Tears started to fall from her eyes... all this time she had never known that her mother had to deal with this. All those years of throwing kiddy tantrums in front of her parents, added more stress on top of her mother. Oh how she wished she found out sooner, she would have been able to help support her mother better.

Sam rested her forehead against her knees for support. So much has happened in such little time."Sam?" She looked up to see Danny standing by his doorway. More tears began to fall as she locked eyes with him. "Hey it's okay!"'he said, she then felt him embrace her. "Your going to be safe Sam. I spoke with my parents, they agree that it's safe for your to be here" Sam held on to Danny's body for dear life. "I'm sorry.. I'm sorry I was weak!" She said in between her sobs of tears. "I don't know why I couldn't protect myself. Now I've lost my mum!" She said. She buried herself deeper into Danny's chest.

"Listen to me Sam.. you're far from weak. Your father was not himself. You did the right thing by coming to me. I'd rather have you here safe with me.. than seeing you lying in a hospital bed right now." Danny said, he lifted her head so he could stare into her eyes for a moment. "When things like this happen, no one can predict how strong they could be. Don't ever consider yourself as a weak person. In my eyes I see a strong, caring and almost loving person!" The last bit was a joking moment he wanted to cheer her up; he knew she was a loving person to be with. With her boundaries she was capable to block her emotions, she only allowed a few to see what she was like naturally. "Why don't you say, we get out of the house for awhile? We can meet with Tucker at nasty burger? Maybe test out the new Fenton flying ghost machine in the ghost world today? Would do ya say Sam?" She knew what he was doing, he was trying to distract her; to make her emotions ease out from the tension from last night. Maybe seeing Tucker might not be such if a bad thing. "Sure.. that would be nice." Danny smiles. He gave Sam another re assuring hug.

From their little comfort moment Sam had a quick bath and changed into some fresh clothes. She and Danny told his parents they where spending the day out today. This is probably what she needed. They decided to walk to nasty burger. Danny had messaged Tucker on the way who was extremely happy for the meet up. The two of them waited outside before he had turned up

A few moments later, Tucker came. "Hey guys!" He said. Tucker approached Danny and Sam. He grinned when he saw how comfortable they looked. Danny had Sam cuddled into him, he had one arm wrapped around her shoulders. "Well don't you to not look cute." Said Tucker, a small chuckle came from Danny. All three of them entered the restaurant. For sure Danny could see that Sam was a bit tense, being around other people at the moment but he was hoping that the distraction might help her thoughts. He was extremely glad that she had even decided to come. He wouldn't have hold it against her if she wanted to stay indoors.

They picked a table by the window, it was a quiet area for them. "So what's the plan for today guys?" Tucker asked . He picked up one of the menus and started to browse through it. "Well, dad wants us to test out the new flying ghost machine in the ghost zone. It's an upgrade from the first edition. The only difference with the upgrade is the tracker he installed on it." Tucker looked at Danny with a confused look... "why did he install a tracker?" Sam rolled her eyes.. as smart as what he is supposed to be... he can be as blind as a bat. "To track bad ghosts you dumbass." Said Sam. Danny laughed at her response. "If we can track them in the ghost zone we can prevent them from causing future chaos in the city, what do you fancy having Sam?" Asked Danny, he pinched Tuckers menu and gave it to her "I'm not really that hungry, I'll have a vegan shake though?" Tucker made an eww like kind of noise "how can you even digest that stuff! It's nasty!" Tucker said. "Have you even tried it before you judge it?" Tucker shook his head "I don't need to try it to know that I will hate it. I'm a man Sam!" Danny sighed. He's used to their petty arguments. Since he has been dating Sam she has shown him different kinds of foods that are vegetarian or vegan based foods. Okay some lack a little with taste but most aren't that bad.

A little while later, after finally deciding what to order their foods and beverages arrive. "Oh man, even though I had pancakes this morning.. I still have plenty of room for this, in my belly!" A laugh emerged from Sam.."when did you have pancakes?" Questioned Sam..."this morning whilst you where sleeping." Danny said with a grin. Sam opened her mouth a little bit. "Greedy!" She said as she went for her vanilla shake. She had to admit that she was starting to feel a bit better. The shake was really helping her airways. Her neck was starting to feel a bit tense. She didn't want to worry Danny any more than she needed to so she didn't say anything.

The three of them finished their beverages and meals in a comfortable silence, well it was a comfortable silence until Valarie and star had approached the table "Look Star, it's the looser table!" Valarie said, star laughed before looking at Tucker, she smiled to herself "Yeah... freak show alert" The two walked away leaving the three of them... "Can't stand her and wanna be Malibu barbie." Said Sam. you'd think that by now the whole loser comments would have stopped by now because without Danny Amityvile wouldn't exist right now... but noo, people still target them. "Ignore them, their not worth the drama." Danny said, he finally finished his lunch. "Although i did see that brief smile from star, when she looked at Tucker." a blush could be seen from Tuckers face as he sank lower into his chair "Probably meant nothing" Tucker said. Danny and Sam exchanged looks to one another before Sam spoke "Didn't you not help her with her maths homework last week?" Tucker nodded. That's right, Star had come to him after school begging for him to help her pass her maths exam so her parents wouldn't cut her allowance. "Yeah we actually got along well with each other for an hour before she had to flee to her cheer leading practise. it's the big game soon." Tucker said. he pushed his plate aside and pulled out his PDA. he saw he had a message, he opened the new message 'I don't see you as a loser, ignore her she's just attention seeking.' Tuckers eyes went wide when he realised whom the message was from. He was surprised that she had actually messaged him. Oh yeah, he had Star had taken each others numbers for study purposes.

"Whats gotten into him?" Sam quietly said to Danny, Tucker was to oblivious to hear those two talking about him. Danny shrugged his shoulders "Tuck?" Tucker looked at the two then showed them his PDA. "No way! is that from her?" Danny said, tucker nodded. "Well it looks some that some of them do own hearts and not zombie brains." Sam said.

They decided it was time to leave nasty burger, they headed back to Danny's house, he was so eager to try the new machine his dad had built. Well Danny had helped a little. But he was hyped up for Sam and Tucker to use it. They where almost home, virtually three blocks away. A dark shadow appeared from behind when a deep voice began to speak " hhello Sss-amantha."

Sam's body became tensed when she recognised the owners voice. She was too afraid to turn around. "Ssamantha please. look at m..." Before the stranger could continue Danny had stopped him by pushing him away "You have some nerve... i suggest you leave before you can't walk." Danny said in an angry voice. The stranger was indeed Sam's dad. He clearly was still not himself. His clothes where a state, he smelt of pure alcohol still. "Guys?" Tucker said, he was confused as to what was going on. Danny and Sam hadn't had the time yet to properly fill him in with whats happened recently. Danny was waiting for Sam for when she was ready to tell Tucker.

Danny now stood in front of Sam, He went ghost for her protection. He didn't even need to announce that he was going ghost. He merely used it as a scared Tact tic. "Let me sspeak to my ddd-aughter." Said Sam's father, his words spluttered a bit due to alcohol taking over. "No, go back to where ever you was hiding. This is your last chance." Danny said before his hands started to glow. Sam's dad started to back away slightly. He was finally starting to listen. "Keep walking" Danny said. His voice was getting a little bit angrier. Due to them being out in public, Danny didn't want to cause a scene or give his name a bad vibe. The publicity are always watching him now, to write news paper articles about the saviour of their town. He didn't care that his ghost side was famous. He didn't want his ghost side to be labelled as a bad ghost.

Hovering high above, was Amityville's most evilest ghost, well... he was supposed to be the most evilest. His plans never worked with Danny being present in town protecting his city. However, this particular ghost would do anything until he was purely satisfied. He would go to the lowest point to even consider murdering a human being or a ghost to bring even more satisfaction to his pride name. He almost got away with it, from his accidental asteroid. That would have destroyed the whole entire earth, a couple years ago if it wasn't for that stupid ghost boy's reasoning's with the rest of the ghosts in the ghost zone.

The ghost watching the scene high above was Vlad. He now had a glorious plan for what possibly could destroy ghost boy's soul for good... He just has to use his manipulated ways to conduct his plan. Now he knows the right person to use. An evil grin appeared across his face. Before he turned invisible.

Cliff Hanger! sorry but they have to happen! It eases tension.

Thank you for reading, i hope you hyped up for whats going to continue in the next chapter. I'm not actually sure with how dark i plan to go with this story which is why i am keeping M for rating purposes.

I'm hoping that i am keeping the characters right. most importantly please enjoy reading. Having a lot of fun writing this.

I will try to upload chapters in between my course work finishing and non working nights... ahaaaa it's a bit hard to fit everything in when you work nights most of the week, but even still whilst i'm working i have that semi free time to focus on what i'm going to write next.

(I'm also hooked on playing animal crossing on the switch at the moment! Just recently got stung by a wasp nest so now my character has a swollen eye... Bless her!)

Enjoy reading, love you all.. 3
