Recap:

"The Specter Speeder. It's gone." Sam said in shock.

"What about Mom's new Ecto-Skeleton?" Danny asked. Sam's mouth dropped.

"Your mom made a new Ecto-Skeleton?" Danny nodded.

"Shit."

Chapter 10: Kidnapped

"It's gone?" Danny asked incredulously.

"It's gone." Sam replied, shocked.

"It wasn't by any chance more powerful than the one we destroyed last time Vlad stole it, was it?" She added fearfully. At this Danny sighed in relief.

"Thank God no. This one only multiplies the wearer's power by twenty so it won't kill them." (A/N Ok, grammatically speaking, it's supposed to be him/her instead of them, but it's in quotations and most people wouldn't say him or her, so let's just forget it:D)

"What are we going to do?" Danny asked, for once at a loss for action. Sam took a breath to calm herself.

"Nothing. There's no way we can figure out who has the new suit until they A: Show up to kill you in it, B: Terrify the whole town and get caught on the news, or C: Return the suit upon figuring out they can't work it properly. So I think we should both go upstairs and get some rest. It's been a long day today." Sam finished breathlessly.

"Well, aren't you little Miss Sunshine?" Danny said sarcastically, suddenly forgetting the missing weapons. He was grinning playfully. His milky eyes seemed to shine with his smile. Sam rolled her eyes to rid them of the burning and grabbed Danny's arm. She didn't feel like being funny or playful at the moment. In fact, she was quite stressed and her head was pounding painfully.

"Sam? Are you alright?" Danny asked as he pulled back the covers on his bed. He could feel that she was stressed, and he guessed that she was on the verge of tears. He hoped she wasn't beating herself up about him again. He heard a sigh from the cot on which Sam undoubtedly already lay.

"I'm fine, Danny. Just tired." She lied. And with that silence ensued. Danny felt that the silence was uncomfortable. She was hiding something from him, and he knew it. He tried to figure out what she could possibly be hiding from him, but was defeated by his drooping eyelids and the comforting warmth of the blankets around him.

Sam was silent for a time, listening to Danny's breaths as they became deeper. She turned toward him when she knew he was asleep, and let a tear fall from her eye. She had been doing this spasmodically for a while now; crying behind Danny's back. Her heart was drowning in sorrow for her friend, who she had recently realized was so much more than just that. When he went blind and was trapped in a coma, she had thought he was gone. Those two days had been the hardest days of her life. First the realization that she truly loved him. Then the assumed fact that he would never know how she felt and she would never see his beautiful blue eyes again.

And then he woke up. She had never been so happy and so miserable at once. She was overjoyed that her hero was alive, but she was being swept away by a flood of despair that he would never see again. Oh how she missed how it was before; before the battle with Ace, before her world was turned upside-down.

Sam jumped as she heard a rustling sound. Her muscles tensed, ready to wake Danny and run to find a Fenton Thermos, but she needn't have bothered. Danni phased through the floor and landed in front of Sam.

"Hi Sam." She whispered.

"Come to the park with me. I have to talk to you without my cousin listening." She said. Sam looked over at Danny, who was still sleeping peacefully, and nodded.

"I'll go, but I can't leave Danny for long. I don't want him to wake up alone." She whispered firmly. Danni's face showed a hint of a frown before it lit up in a smile.

"Ok! Let's go!" She said quietly, taking Sam by the hand and flying them both out of Fenton Works.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Park: A few minutes later

Danni landed and turned to face Sam.

"Sam, you can't go back to Danny for awhile." She said, carefully watching for the Goth's reaction.

"What do you mean, 'I can't go back to Danny for awhile'?" Sam asked suspiciously. She never quite trusted Danni. The Halfa in question smiled.

"Vlad Plasmius said he could help Danny get his sight back! All he needs is for you to stay with him for awhile, the Ecto-Skeleton, and the Specter Speeder!" She said confidently. Sam's eyes widened in utter disbelief of the young Halfa.

"You believed that bastard!" She yelled when she found her voice. Danni shrank back and nodded.

"He can help Danny. I had to help him." She said. Sam balled her hands into fists and closed her eyes to calm herself. When she opened them, a second ghost hybrid had appeared.

"Vlad!" Sam spat. The middle-aged Halfa smiled coolly.

"Yes. Vlad is my name, Samantha." He said calmly with an evil glint in his eyes. Oh, that got Sam mad.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT!" She screamed, lunging for the evil Halfa. He stepped calmly aside, both hands folded behind his back and a smug expression fixed to his face.

"My, my, we do need to watch our temper." Vlad said with a smile. He was enjoying himself.

"Why do you want Danny?" At this, Vlad raised his eyebrows.

"You are quite the smart one, Samantha." He said evilly. Sam winced at her full name, but refrained from tackling Vlad.

"I was merely going to use you as bait to get young Daniel. I was thinking of killing him, since his loss of sight has made him useless." Danni's jaw dropped and Sam's eyes caught fire.

"You said you'd help him!" Danni shouted.

"Blind or not, Danny could beat your ass any day!" Sam yelled.

"Why you little...!" Vlad exclaimed, throwing an ectoplasmic rope around Sam before she could react. She squirmed and tried to get away, but the rope stuck fast. She was really wishing she'd brought some sort of weapon now, but unfortunately, Desiree was nowhere to be seen.

Danni saw Vlad catch Sam and knew she stood no chance. She flew as fast as she could away from the evil Halfa and the struggling Sam.

------------------------------------------------------------

"Danny!" Danni called, not bothering to change back to human form. She flew through the house searching for her cousin, but the blind Halfa was nowhere to be found...

"Dun Dun Dun." No, I really don't think I wrote that chapter to its full potential, and for that, I apologize. Next chappie won't be so crappy! Muhahahaha! That cliffy isn't very good either. Even though you readers might think so, it's not very significant. Or is it? Speaking of cliffies, I'm still working on getting to my super cliffy and making everyone hate me forever. Well, until I update after the cliffy, then you'll tell me I'm evil and forget about it... I think.

Anyway, a character is making his reappearance in the next chappie! Review and guess who it is and you get...um...an answer as to whether you're right or not? Don't take this challenge lightly, it changes the whole story and completes the domino effect! Hint: The character is a ghost who has a fetish with something dangerous and his name is the title of chappie 11!
