Hey! Sorry for taking so long to update. If you read my message, then you know why it took so long. If you didn't then I'll explain it right now. -Breath intake- I was on vacation that lasted sixteen days. Then I went to camp, that lasted seven days. Also, on the days that I have had a computer, I've had writer's block. But, I finally finished the chapter! WOOT! Anyways, here's the chapter! I hope it's good.
Benjamin Masters
Chapter Nine
Powerless
Sam was in the room in beyond the window.
"Oh my God..." Ben whispered.
He ran over to the door and tried to open it
He reached for the door knob, only to see that there wasn't one.
"Of course there isn't a door knob..." Ben muttered frustrated.
He looked at the door. It didn't have anything on it.
"No lock or anything... How do you open it?" He said scratching his head.
He started pacing around the room trying to figure out a way to get to Sam's sleeping form.
He was almost to the point were he was about to claw through the wall when he heard a noise.
He listened closer and realized that footsteps were coming down the stairs and then over to the room.
He looked around for somewhere to hide and couldn't find one.
He tried to go invisible and was able to, so he walked over to the corner and stood as quietly as he could.
Skulker walked into the room, over to the window, and turned on the light.
"Wake up, human." He said.
Sam stirred and slowly sat up.
"Skulker." Sam glared.
"I've been told to feed you." Skulker said walking over to the door.
"I don't know why though..." He added as he typed a code into his suit. A key came out of a slot on his suit and he used it to open the door by sticking it into a key hole in the wall beside the door that Ben had over looked.
Then he threw a roll through the door, turned off the light, and phased through the ceiling.
Ben waited until he was sure Skulker was nowhere around and turned visible again.
He saw Sam walk over to the roll on the floor and pick it up. She looked at it, then she hurled it at the wall in rage.
"Only Skulker has the key. What do I do?" Ben asked worried.
Then he saw the glass.
I could break out the window!" He said looking for something to throw.
The only thing he could find was a desk chair, he hurled it at the glass.
"Not even a crack?" Ben said looking at the window. The chair hit the ground in multiple pieces, but nothing had happened to the glass.
"Damn it!" He yelled in rage as he hurled himself at the glass.
Again, nothing happened to the glass.
He looked into the dark room.
Sam was looking, or more like glaring at the mirror on her side of the wall.
"She knows someone's out here. I could at least let her know I'm here, even if I can't get to her just yet."
"Sam?" He asked loudly.
Sam didn't move
"SAM!" He yelled.
She still didn't move.
"How is it that she can hear Skulker just fine, but she can't hear me?"
Ben looked around the room thinking about what Skulker had done as he came into the room.
"The light was on... Would that change anything?" He asked himself when he saw the light above his head.
He went over to the light switch.
"What the Hell..." Ben said looking at it.
"It looks like a thumb scanner... Great, just effin' peachy..." Ben grumbled.
"Maybe Stacy will know what to do?" Ben said.
"I'll be right back, Sam. I promise." He said to her even though he knew she wouldn't be able to hear him. Then he ran out of the room, up the stairs, out of Vlad's study, then ran to his room.
Stacy was still snoring on his bed where he had left her.
"Stacy!" He whispered loudly shaking her.
"Uhhh... Benny?" She asked sleepily without opening her eyes.
"Stacy, I need your help! Vlad kidnapped Sam, and she's in his basement!" Ben said forgetting to whisper and almost yelling the last few words.
Stacy opened her eyes and shot up.
"What!" She asked Ben loudly.
"I'm serious! Come on!" Ben said grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards the door then to Vlad's lab.
"What the Hell is that bastard doing?" Stacy asked in disgust when they got to the room and Stacy saw Sam curled up into a ball on the bed.
"I don't know, and I can't figure out how to get to her." Ben said about to cry.
"Don't cry, you're no help when you're upset." Stacy said to him.
"Well, what do you know?" She asked.
"Skulker is helping Vlad. Skulker has the key to the door. You have to use the thumb pad to turn on the lights, and for Sam to be able to hear you... Oh, and the glass is really thick." Ben said rubbing his arm at the end.
"Have you tried going through the wall?" Stacy asked him.
"...No..." Ben mumbled.
Stacy was about to smack him on the head, but she saw how upset he was, and refrained from doing it.
"Well, try." She said.
Ben tried to go intangible. He was fully intangible for a second or two, but then his solidness came back. He wasn't completely normal, but he was only tinted the bluish color that came with being intangible.
"Try it anyway?" Stacy asked unsurely.
Ben decided to get a running start. That didn't turn out to be a very good idea, because he barely got into the wall, then couldn't go any farther, resulting in a throbbing pain, a fall to the ground, and a definite bruise in the morning.
"Why did you get rid of your powers again? They seem pretty useful to me." Stacy said.
Ben glared at her as he thought back.
It was the day his mom and Vlad had gotten married, it was right after the wedding, his mom still had her wedding dress on.
Danny was still trying to reason with her that marring Vlad was a bad idea.
"Mom! Vlad Masters is Vlad Plasmus!" Danny said.
"Oh, Danny, No he's not! Anyway, even if he was, how would you know?" She said.
"Because! He's my worst enemy! Because, I am Danny Phantom!" Danny exclaimed without thinking, going ghost right in front of her.
Maddie looked at him in awe.
"So, you're a ghost? And Vlad's a ghost too! How cute!" She said clapping.
"A father and son. Being ghosts together! How adorable!" She continued.
"Mom! What the Hell!" He yelled holding her shoulders.
She totally ignored him and kept on ranting about how cute it was.
Danny turned away from her and walked off, he took a few steps and bumped into Vlad.
"What the Hell did you do to my mother, Vlad?" Danny yelled glaring.
"I didn't do anything, Son. But I will do something, to you. I need your power." He said sneering sinisterly at the end.
"What are you going to do?" Danny asked.
"Oh, and like I would tell you, Son." Vlad said walking away from Danny towards Maddie.
Later that night, Danny had a plan.
He went into his mom's bedroom, she was lying down, but not asleep yet.
"Mom? Can I talk to you?" He asked walking into the room to make sure Vlad was nowhere around.
"Sure, Honey!" She said happily patting the bed beside her.
Danny waited until he was sure Vlad was nowhere around, and sat down beside her.
"Mom, now that you know about my powers, I need to tell you something." Danny said.
"What is it?" Maddie said worried.
"I'm dying, Mom." Danny said sadly.
"What?" Maddie said almost laughing at what she thought was a joke.
"My powers, they're killing me, Mom. Unless I figure out some way to get rid of them, I'll be dead within a month." Danny said forcing fake tears to go down his face.
"Oh, Danny!" His mom cried as she hugged him.
"Help me, Mom." Danny cried quietly.
"I'll start on a cure first thing in the morning, Danny. Just stay alive until then."
They sat hugging for a few more minutes. Then Vlad came into the room.
"Night, Mom." Danny said letting her go and walking to the door.
"Night, Danny!" Maddie said before he shut the door behind him.
"You have no conscience do you?" Stacy asked Ben after he was done with his story.
"Nope." He answered smiling despite the situation they were in.
"Well, get some sleep, Ben, it's almost morning. I'll stay down here and watch Sam if you want me to." Stacy said.
"I don't want you to get caught... Let's both go to sleep, I'll get up as early as I can, she should be fine until then." Ben said.
"Ok. Let's go." Stacy said.
"Night, Sam." They both said before they left the room.
They went up the stairs and went to their rooms to sleep.
