Disclaimer: I hate this part. Sighs I do not own Danny Phantom.
Chapter 4: Trust
Danny stirred and woke slowly. He yawned and opened his eyes, expecting to see a bright morning; then he remembered. His expression fell and a weight fell in the pit of his stomach. He couldn't see. Luckily, he didn't have long to dwell on it, as he heard someone walk in at that moment. He looked up out of sheer habit and took in a wave of air through his nostrils, sighing. Lilacs flooded his senses. It was Sam. He'd know her scent anywhere, even if he wasn't forced to tell from scent, he had made a mental note to remember that heavenly smell that belonged to her the first time he had ever taken it in.
"Morning Sam." He said, smiling. His mood was brightened by her mere presence. Sam was surprised he had known who it was without his sight. Maybe this wouldn't be as hard as she'd thought.
"Morning Danny. Can I talk to you?" She asked, taking the shopping bag Maddie had given her the night before and walking over to his bed.
"You can always talk to me Sam. Anyway, it's not like I have much choice, right?" He said it jokingly, but Sam could tell he didn't really feel that way.
"Hey, whatcha got in the bag?" Tucker piped up. He'd been sitting on Danny's computer chair playing his PDA. Sam glared at him and he shrunk back, guessing what the bag contained.
"Danny, I know it's gonna be really hard to help you when I don't know exactly what you're going through. It would be easier if another blind person helped you get back on your feet." Sam said, looking anywhere but his eyes.
"What are you trying to say, Sam?" Danny asked gently; he hated it when people beat around the bush, but for Sam he wouldn't get angry. He could tell there was something important on her mind and he didn't want to make her feel too rushed. Sam took a deep, steadying breath and spit it all out.
"There're four blind ghosts in the lab." She said. Danny jumped up from the cot and turned ghost in a flash of blinding white light. His pajamas turned to his black and white jumpsuit complete with DP emblem, white gloves and boots appeared on his bare hands and feet, his midnight hair turned silvery white, and his blank milky eyes turned a beautiful sparkling silver. Albino fire leapt in his eyes as his hands glowed, surprisingly, the same breath-taking silver.
"Did they hurt you, Sam?" He asked worriedly, running his hands up and down her arms in search of injuries.
"Of course not." Sam said, and with that Danny's face softened in relief and he immediately floated a few feet off the ground, ready to leave.
"Danny wait!" Sam called, but he turned intangible and flew through the wall in search of the lab.
"Well that went well." Tucker said sarcastically. Sam punched him in the stomach with all her fury. He yelled and doubled over, clutching his stomach.
"You know he can't defend himself like he is! He could get hurt! And you're standing around being sarcastic!" She yelled disbelievingly. And with that she ran out of the room to find Danny.
"Sam. Slow down!" Sam skidded to a stop at the base of the stairs in front of Cabu.
"How can I slow down? Danny's blind and he's looking for you! He could hurt himself or get lost! We might never find him if he's intangible! He could be in the middle of some hill by now thinking he's fifty feet in the air!" She said, tears beginning to fall from her eyes in her hysteria.
"Sam, it's okay. Danny's down in the lab." Cabu said soothingly, putting an ice-cold hand on her shoulder.
"In the lab? He found it?" Sam asked, blinking in surprise. Cabu shook his head.
"We heard the commotion upstairs and guessed what was happening. Danny was in the kitchen when Meg found him with her radar. It took Ricochet to get him to the lab and Silver's keeping him there now. You need to come with me down to the lab to calm him down before he hurts himself." Cabu explained calmly. By now Sam had calmed down a lot, but her breathing was still slightly erratic and there were tears running freely down her face. She followed Cabu down the stairs to the lab.
Danny was in a box of silver semi-transparent ecto-energy when Sam caught sight of him. Her tears multiplied as she saw him blasting away at the sides of his temporary prison.
"Danny?" She choked. He stopped fighting and slumped to the floor of the silver box, panting heavily.
"Sam! We can't trust them! Run!" He shouted hoarsely. Sam walked up to the box containing Danny and put her hand to the side. It was cold and the ecto-energy swam like water under her hand.
"Danny, calm down." Sam begged him. Danny's silver eyes ignited and it took all his self control not to scream.
"How can I calm down Sam? You let these ghosts out of the Ghosts Zone thinking they can help me and they lock me in an ecto-box, and you're telling me to CALM DOWN!" He shouted, closing his eyes in the hopes to control his anger. His whole body was shaking with it and Sam's eyes widened with slight fear as his silver ghostly glow increased tenfold. She had to stop him before he did something he'd regret.
"Danny, listen to me! These ghosts really want to help you. I can't help you. You know I would help you if I could! They can help you, please let them help you." Sam said desperately. Danny's eyes flashed even more and he shot another random silver ecto-blast at the side of the box.
"I'm fine Sam! I don't need anyone to help me! I can take care of myself!" Danny shouted, throwing several ecto-blasts at the wall of the box; every one evaporated into the silver energy of it. Unknown to Danny, the added ecto-energy made the box even stronger. He relaxed and put his head in his hands.
"Why me?" He asked quietly, defeated. Sam heard him and her tears increased again.
"Danny? Will you please just trust me? I'll be there for you the entire time. I won't let them hurt you, and you'll get stronger. You might even be stronger than you were before." Danny lifted his head so Sam could see him; his silver eyes were full of unshed tears. He sighed and turned human.
"Fine. But only because I trust you." He said, and the silver ecto-box disappeared.

Well that was Ch. 4! I hope everyone liked it! I'm really really sorry about the length. It's ten pages and I still think it sounds short, but that's all I have right now and I felt like updating, so you'll just have to wait for chapter 5 for more.
