We slipped out from the ballroom completely unnoticed and turned down the halls into a library. Books covered the walls except for space for a fireplace. There was a single plush chair by a desk with a bust which Vlad pulled back to reveal a button. When he pressed it the bookcase next to the fire moved to the side revealing an entrance way to what I gathered to be his lab.
"After you" He said with the same creepy smile.
I had to take a discreet deep breath not to show how scared I was. I was scared for Danny, but I was also scared for me: going into a one way room with an older man who was extremely unsettling and a fear that was ingrained into all young women's heads.
I walked down the stairs into the lab which turned out to be not as large as I thought it was, it was round with four tables around it but empty in the middle.
"What do you want and where is Danny" I demanded reminding myself that I am Sam, I am Spectra, I am not afraid and I will not go down with out a fight. He smiled his creepyass smile.
"So impatient Samantha, don't you want to take a look around my lab?" He cocked his head to the side then added,
"I do know you have a record of being curious of ghost labs."
My heart stopped. He doesn't know. He cannot possibly know.
Fine frootloop, we'll play things your way.
I took a deep breath and put on my fakes smile and said as sickeningly sweet as I could,
"I would absolutely love to take a look at your lab, will Daniel be joining us?"
"Ah, there are your manners Samantha! How wonderful he will join us in a bit...
Let's start with my favorite part of the tour, the Ghost portal. Have you ever seen a real working portal before?"
Like everything in the past 15 minutes I did not like where this was going.
"I have at the Fenton's house." I responded vaguely.
"Really? never before that? I recall your parents telling me about a lab not too far from here that has an operational portal. I believe they became operational around 2 years ago more or less."
"Probably, I tend to forget all the boring details of my parents work and trips. But I'm sure it was great…"
"You don't remember anything else?" He pried.
"Wait… I do actually" I said having a revelation, I could see his eyes burning for the information.
"I remember they said that they got help from the Fentons on the portal since both Mr. and Mrs. Fenton are so smart." I responded sweetly.
Vlad's eye twitched. Danny told me that for as much as Vlad loved Mrs. Fenton, he hated Mr. Fenton. I continued in my sweet voice,
"I will say that Mr. Fenton is so smart and so lucky to have a wife like Mrs. Fenton who loves him so very dearly" I could see his fists curled tightly and the anger in his eyes.
"Enough, girl!"
Two black rings formed around his waist. One went up. One went down.
He was part ghost.
He then took a remote out of his jacket pocket, clicking it.
The center of the floor divided into two rectangles revealing a pit from which a table moved up from under it with Phantom bound to it.
