chapter 33
Danny had just finished listening to the recorder when his phone went off. He read to find out kitty had sent it. He opened it up and his heart lept.
Just talked to Ember she will talk to you after the field trip tomorrow.
Love kitty kitty purr purr
Danny couldn't help but smile. Kitty had a way with people that's one of the things he was glad about her being his friend. Still he frowned. "she probably is going to ask for a different partner." He thought as he got into bed. "someone who hasn't murdered her parents." He thought. No matter what he tried he couldn't get her out of his head. The way she dressed that night the way she told kitty she liked him. His heart then turned to lead. The way she got mad at him.
The next day.
Every student boarded the bus as they prepared for the trip. "alright now." The fright knight announced getting everyones attention. "everyone will need a partner. You know the buddy system and all of that." Skulker turned to kitty. "I think someone should be a scout master." He said causing her to giggle. "now as many of you guessed. Your battle partners will be your buddy." He said causing Skulker and kitty to wince. "you think Danny and Ember are up to it?" kitty asked. skulker shrugged. "don't know." He replied. As if on cue Danny flew next to them and Ember on the other side. "now then like we have all studied pariahs keep has not been entered in almost 6 million years the place is falling apart so if anyone should get hurt please notify us teachers at once." Pandora announced.
Kitty and Skulker winced again as they saw Danny and Ember having to share a seat. They looked at each other until Danny motioned for Ember to go in first. She simply sat in Danny following her. Soon the bus was on the move and the whole bus was soon filled with chatter and laughter. Kitty watched carefully as Danny pulled out his Ipod. "oh cmon guys don't wait till after to talk do it now." She thought to herself. All the way there they didn't talk or even look at each other. Kitty frowned. "I thought for sure they would at least strike up a conversation." She said to skulker. He shrugged. "well remember kitty its their choice. And you said it yourself they would talk after the trip." Kitty sighed. "I guess.
Later on the class stood in awe at the enormous castl. Danny along with the others were even more shocked. "its bigger than my place." Danny said in surprise. Ember nodded in agreement. Skulker responded. "ill say. This place is about the size of 10 football fields dude yours is amost 4." Danny looked at skulker with a weird look. Skulker shrugged. "what I do my homework." He said proudly. Both Danny and Ember rolled their eyes. Kitty saw this and grinned. "I think its working." She thought hopefully. The class stopped by a dozen statues all skeletons and dragon like creatures stood there not moving one inch. The fright knight spoke up. "this was the ghost kings army. Now frozen ever since their leaders defeat." He pointed at the generals. "they had no choice but to listen to him. No freedom nor choice keep that in mind." Ember shuddered at the thought.
It was later on they made their way into the castle. They made their way into the treasure room. the fright knights voice boomed. "no one is to touch anything this whole room is booby trapped." He said causing vortex and Johnny to snicker. Danny and Ember rolled their eyes. "Immature idiots." They said in sync making them both blush. Kitty couldn't help but smile along with skulker. Meanwhile Desiree looked over at Johnny and gave him a thumbs up. Johnny understood and sent his shadow up in the rafters. Everyone was so busy talking no one noticed. Danny finally struck a nerve and turned to Ember. "um mind if we talk really quick?" he asked.
She hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. He motioned towards the room next door to them. As they entered in Danny looked to see Ember staring at him trying to find out what he wanted. He sighed. "look Ember I just want to tell you now im nothing like jack and Maddie Fenton. Hell I never even knew them." Embers face remained unchanged. "look im sorry about what they did and I somehow feel responsible. But im nothing like them I would never hurt another ghost." He paused for a moment then looked back to her. "especially you." He said quietly. Embers heart picked up on faster beats. "im really sorry Ember I really am."
Ember was lost for words she thought he would be yelling at her all this. But then she remembered. Danny wasn't like other guys. She looked down and then back up to him. "Danny I know you mean all that." She turned away from him hiding the tears. "Im sorry but you shouldn't be the one apologizing ." she said now turning towards him. "I overreacted that day. I was horrible and just so awful to you." She said now crying. She then grabbed him and brought him into a tight hug. "im really sorry." She whispered. Danny smiled. "its okay. Ill forgive you if you forgive me." She couldn't help but smile as she let go. "it's a deal then."
Kitty and skulker watched from the door crack. "aww so sweet." Kitty squealed. Skulker gave a thumbs up. "way to go buddy." He thought to himself smiling. They watched as the two teens talked about how terrible their days had been since the fight. Kitty smiled. "so you think they'll be going on another date?" she asked. skulker shrugged. "with these two who knows maybe the combat arena on Monday will be their next date." He said snickering. All at once kitty gasped. Skulker followed her gaze above where Danny and Ember were talking. A pillar was leaning about to fall. Skulker smashed the door down. "Danny Ember above you!" kitty yelled. Dannys eyes immidiantly darted up and saw the danger. He quickly pushed Ember out of the way only to have the pillar smash down on dannys skull. Danny could only hear the screaming of his name by Ember as he blacked out.
