"I can't see anything!" Jazz yelled into the darkness.
The speeder glided through the huge castle. Maddie flipped on a light, but it only lit up a few feet in front of them, so the rest of the castle was black unknown. It had stone wall and staircases. In every corner there was a glass vase and armor statues lined the walls. It had a weird grey glow to it and they could here small ghosts scurrying around on the floors.
"This place gives me the creeps," Tucker commented as he stared out the window.
"I never knew…the ghost zone could be this dark," Sam finished wrapping Phantoms torso for the second time that day, "It's always glowing."
"Yeah, I know. What is this place exactly?" Jazz stared out the window on the opposite end of Tucker.
"If we knew, we would have told you, wouldn't we," Sam put Phantoms arm around her neck, then put her arm around his waist and lifted him up. She carried him to a seat in the back and laid him down. She grabbed a blanket from a little overnight cabinet and covered him up. With a quick look at him, she joined Tucker at the window to gaze upon the wonders of the unknown.
"The detector says he's here," Maddie saw the green outline of her son blinking on the speeders detector. Suddenly, all the lights in the speeder died, including the detector. They heard the whirring of the engine die and the speeder crashed to the floor.
"What happened?" Jazz asked, picking herself up off the floor.
"I don't know. The speeder had lots of power and the engine was in fine condition. I don't know what happened." Maddie looked at all the control. It didn't make since, everything was in perfect order.
"Why didn't we go through the floor? We are in the ghost zone and in the ghost zone we can go through stuff," Sam whispered to Tucker.
"I don't know," Tucker answered, "You want to check it out?"
"No. I don't like this place. It seems dangerous," Sam stared out the window once more. She thought she saw a faint white light in the corner of the room, but other than that, blackness.
"Do you see that?" Jazz was staring out the window next to Sam.
Sam nodded.
"I think…I think it's a person," Jazz squinted her eyes to get a better look, "Maybe they can help us."
She never received an answer as the light came towards them. It grew in size and soon it began to look more like a human than just a white glowing ball. It reached the window and a thin hand gently touched it, causing Sam and Jazz to lean back a little.
The figure stood in front of the window and opened its glowing pink eyes. She stared at the two girls with those sorrow filled eyes. A look that could make any one feel bad for her.
The rest of her body finally took shape. She was wearing a pure white dress that was about a foot longer than her legs. Her longs sleeves covered her hands, except the one touching the window. Her glowing white hair was pilled on top of her head. She didn't look old, although she had white hair; she looked to be about fifteen or sixteen.
"Um…hello?" Jazz waved from inside the speeder and smiled slightly.
The girl just stared at her, not moving an inch.
"Um…can you tell us where we are?" Jazz brought a hand to the back of her neck in nervousness.
Silence.
"Look! Are you just going to ignore us or are you going to help us out?" Sam crossed her arms and stared the girl in the eyes.
The girl took her hand from the window and looked down. For a few minutes there was silence, then, the girl looked up and glared at Sam. Her eyes were crimson red and she had a wild grin on.
"Get Out!" Her eyes glowed a little brighter.
"Not until you answer our question!" Sam glared right back at the ghost.
"GET OUT!"
"ANSWER US!"
The girl didn't protest this time, but her grin grew. She turned invisible and intangible and flew into the speeder.
"Where are you?" Sam screamed, hoping to find an answer from the ghost.
"Sam, who are you yelling at?" Tucker asked from the opposite window.
"There's a ghost in here," Sam searched the speeder with her eyes until she saw Phantoms eyes fly open, but they weren't green. They were red.
"Get out of him!" Sam ran towards Phantom, and grabbed him arm.
"Get out of my home!" the girl screeched through Phantoms body. She wrenched her hand away from Sam and glared at the teen, "I know you love him, Sam. If you don't get out of my house, I'll kill him…right in front of you all."
"How does she know my name? What is she going to do to Danny?" Sam didn't budge from her spot, "Who are you?"
"I am Darcie. I live here now get out!" Phantom's fist glowed green, and his eyes glowed with anger.
"Look, Darcie, we're not leaving, and even if we wanted to, we can't. Our ship broke down and our friend is in this castle somewhere," Jazz walked in front of Sam.
"Why do I care? I told you to GET OUT!" she grinned, "and you didn't listen. So now, you're little ghost friend, dies." She laughed and they saw a shock go through Phantom's body. Darcie flew out of his body and the speeder, leaving only her laugh to be heard, and that too faded away.
Phantom held his head and fell back. Jazz jumped just in time to catch him.
"Jazz? Sam?" he looked at the two girls, "What…what happened?"
"Oh some ignorant ghost came-" Jazz was cut off as Phantom gasped. He was staring at his hand, which was slowly dissolving in to bubbling green ectoplasm. It was spreading to the rest of his body, and soon his entire hand was dissolved and it was eating up his arm.
"Danny you're. You're melting," Jazz gawked at her little brother, whom she was still holding in her arms.
Sam knew what was happening. This is what had happened to all of Danny's clones, but how did Darcie do that to the real Phantom?
She ran to a cabinet and shuffled around, trying to find a certain thing. She took a quick glance at Phantom, who was looking at her with hope filled eyes as the ectoplasm at away at his torso. She continued to search.

Vlad floated in the middle of the room with his arms behind his back; staring at Danny. He heard the awaited visitor phase through the wall and float behind him.
"I have done what you wished, master." Darcie floated behind her leader, waiting to see what he would say.
"Good, good. Tell me, how long?" Vlad didn't turn from his gaze.
"He should be completely dissolved in ten minutes," She told him, her tone of voice showed no expression. She obeyed her orders like a servant.
"Good. Now you may go," Vlad picked up a small vile off of the counter next to him.
"Thank you master," Darcie left the room, so Vlad was left to himself. He held the vile in front of his face and grinned, "Very good." He laughed as he walked towards Danny.
