Runaway Cruise

Chapter 8: Human, mostly

Sam lay on her stomach, her dad had turned her over so he could hit her back. Then after he had done that he left to have dinner, that had been nearly an hour ago. Sam held back silent tear, she wouldn't let her dad know she had been crying, she still hadn't given up. She had managed to get a few good hits in on him too, the most painful one was to his, manhood. That had earned her the hits on her back but the ten minutes he had spent cursing on the floor was worth it.

Sam knew that the rod had ripped he shirt in some places but didn't really care, she knew he would more then likely do far worse to her soon. She turned her head once again looking around the room for something she could use, nothing but her boot across the room. She had kicked it at him and nearly hit his head but not quiet. "Danny, please come back and save me, I'm sorry."

Sam had already tried screaming for help, but either no one could hear her or they didn't care. The ropes on her wrist weren't tight enough to cut her much but enough so that she couldn't get away.

How much longer would it be before her father came back and she really had to worry? Not much longer, unless he found a girl to spend some time with, she wished he did then she'd have a little longer. Let his lust for women be her escape.

No such luck, the door opened and he stepped in, "Hello Samantha. I had a lovely dinner, and am about to follow it up with a night of fun." Sam did the only thing she could, she spat at him again. It fell a foot short of him, "Still have some fight in you? I'll have to fix that first." He picked up the rod again.

Danny sat up on the roof, the sun had set some time ago and the night air chilled all those on the street. However the lone figure on top of the building didn't feel the cold, he was still numb from the events of the day. The ship was no longer visible on the ocean but Danny couldn't shack Sam from his mind. Why couldn't he forget her? Duh, he loved her, but she doesn't love me.

Something fell on to the roof next to him, it was the necklace he had bought Sam. Danny didn't remember putting it in his pocket but picked it up. The small black stone seemed to shine even with out light. "Maybe I should go back and try to talk to her. I can't blame her for being scared of me, I should at least see if she wants to talk. And give this to her, even if she wouldn't want it."

Danny stood up and went ghost, he took to the air and looked off to the dark sea, "But how do I find the ship?"

Tucker sat on his bed, "This is great, I finally find a girl I really like and lose her because of Dannys secret."

"You haven't lost me, at least not yet." Marry walked said standing in his doorway. She walked in and sat on Tuckers bed facing him.

"Marry?"

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"I couldn't, what would people do if they knew? Everyone thinks he's an evil ghost. He's spent the last few years fighting the evil ghost and taking the blame for what they do."

Marry just looked at Tucker. "Marry please, Danny would never do anything to hurt anyone, and I would never do anything to hurt you."

"Its just a shock, I can't believe it. How did it happen?"

"I guess I should tell you. Dannys parents are ghost hunter, they made this thing called a ghost portal, a bridge between are world and the ghost zone. It didn't work so they gave up on it, me and Danny wanted to see what was wrong so he put of a jump suit and went in. It turned on and nearly killed him, he lived but he's half ghost now. Even his parents don't know yet, so could you not tell them?"

"Ok, I might not trust him completely, but I trust you."

Danny flew as fast as he could over the dark water. It took him a while to find the small lights of the ship among the stars of the horizon and even longer to reach it. He ghosted into the room that they had shared, Sam wasn't there. "Well her things are still here so she must be somewhere on the ship. I guess I should wait for her to come back"

Danny lay down on his bed and waited.

Sams dad brought the rod down on Sam again, he had moved to hitting her legs and arms. Finally he stopped, just short of breaking them. "Well I think that just about takes the fight out of you."

"What are you going to do now? Rape me?"

"What? Do you think I would do that to my own daughter? No, I meet a very nice man who has agreed to a little exchange. He gets to have a night with you and I get to have a night with his nine year old daughter." He smiled at the thought.

"Your sick!" Sam wanted nothing more then to throw her father off the ship in to the dark waters.

"No, this is what all men do sweetie, besides she's still a virgin."

"You can't do this you can't." Sam tried to kick at him again but he caught her leg.

"I see you still haven't given up, oh well." Sams dad picked up the rod again, "This time I'll break your legs you little whore!"

"I wouldn't do that if I was you." Sam turned her head to see a very angry Danny standing near the door.

"You? You're not dead? How'd you get in here?" Sams dad didn't know what was happing, that kid should be dead, or at least have a few broken bones. Wait the doors locked so how the hell did he get in here?

Danny took a step forward, "Put the pipe down." Dannys voice was more of a growl then anything.

"Yea right, sorry but now I can't let you leave." He swung the rod at Dannys head, it past threw Danny. He looked at it thinking he had missed Danny, but before he could swing again Danny had twisted the pipe out of his hands. "Hey do you know who I am? I can make your life a living hell!"

Danny grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and lifted him off the ground. His eyes flashed green, "Ghosts don't care about money, and there are a million places worse then hell, I've been to most in the ghost zone."

"What are you?"

"Human, mostly" Danny tossed Sams dad into the wall, he crumpled to the floor eyes closed.

Danny rushed over to Sam, "Are you alright?" Danny looked around for something to cut Sama ropes with, there was nothing. Finally he turned the ropes intangible and tossed them aside.

"Danny, I'm sorry." Sams body was covered in burses.

"No I'm sorry, I promised I wouldn't let him hurt you."

"I'm just glad you came back, can we leave?"

"Sure" Danny picked Sam up, she winced as he weight was shifted. Her whole body was sore but she wrapped her arms around Dannys neck and lay her head against him. She was asleep almost at once, Danny ghosted them up to their room and set her down on her bed.

Danny leaned over Sam looking at what her father had done to her. "I can't believe he did this to you"

Sams head turned to look at him threw half closed eyes and smiled at him. "So your half ghost?"

"Yea, you mad at me?"

"No" Danny hugged her tight.

"I'm glad" he whispered to her. There was a sound in the hall outside their door.

The door opened and Tucker and Marry walked in, they both stopped when they saw the beaten Sam. Tucker looked between them, "Danny, what did you do?"

"I didn't do this." Danny said standing up.

Marry looked ready to kill, "Then how the hell did she get like this! Beat her self up?"

"No it was her father"

"Danny, you know how lame that sounds." Tucker said, he and Marry had backed up a little and Tucker had moved in front of Marry incase Danny had snapped.

"Dannys telling the truth." Sam said setting up.

Marry looked at her, "You mean he didn't hurt you?"

"No, Danny saved me. Can I sleep now?"

"Uh, sure. We'll just leave you two alone." Marry closed the door. Danny sat down next to Sam.

"So how are you feeling?"

"Horrible, my whole body hurts. But it would have been a lot worse if you hadn't saved me, thanks."

"Your welcome, I'm sorry it took me so long."

"No, it was my fault, I shouldn't have acted like that."

Danny bent down so his head was inches from Sams face, "No, that was pretty much how most people react." He wanted to kiss her but was afraid of hurting her lip which seemed swollen.

"I guess but I should have given you the chance to explain." She kissed him lightly, "I won't make that mistake again."

"Oh, I forgot I got this for you a few days ago." Danny took out the necklace and put it around Sams neck.

Sam took it in her hand and looked at it, "Danny, it perfect, where'd you find it?"

"Just in a little store on the ship." Danny kissed Sam again, "I'm glad you like it."

"I love it." Sam said smiling at him.

"I love you" He started kissing her, though he was careful about her burses.

"Danny, will you always love me?" Sam asked between kisses. Danny wrapped his arms protectively around Sam.

"Always."

"Will you get me a soda?"

"What?" Danny looked confused, Sam loved doing that.

"I'm thirsty and really want a soda." Sam pouted.

"Fine" He got up and opened the door. A man was standing out side about to knock.

"Danny Fenton?" he asked Danny nodded his head.

"Your under arrest."
