"Believe"
Danny skidded to a stop in front of the apartment building his heart thumping wildly. He looked up at the place which was now in flames. A ghost started this, he knew it.Innocent people would die and he had to do something fast.
Danny had not time to waste to go ghost. He had to go into the building before people got hurt on his account. This was his responsibilty whether he liked it or not.
Sam's POV
Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
I am so frightened. I only came in here to drop something off for my aunt and now the whole place is in flames.My eyes are burning and I feel I am going to choke on the smoke. I know I am going to die here. There are so many things left unsaid in my life.
Climbing higher through the fire, time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive
I cough as I desperatly scan the room for exits. There dont seem to be any. It's so dark in here even though I know it's broad daylight outside. I'm sweating and it is so hot in here, this must be like hell. And when I just began to give up on leaving I noticed a familar figure coming through the smoke. It couldn't be, Danny?
But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed
He grabs me and asks if I was ok.I cant seem to work out any more than an uh-huh. As carries me out his face looks determined.
"I'm scared Danny." I say as he pushes through the falling debris.
He looks down at me his face hardens and he says the truest most softest words I shall ever hear in my life. They would be one of the last encouraging words he will ever say to me.
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.
Danny put Sam outside with the other people he'd saved, the people who'd escaped the building and the spectators. He smiled at her his eyes sparkling with love. He nodded at her and ran off back into the flames.
"Somebody call for help!" Sam shouted noticing there were no rescue teams around.
"We did, there's a tie up. They cant get here right away." Somebody called back.
Sam stared up at the flames licking through the windows and along the walls. "Please Danny, be careful." She whispered as she cupped her hands together.
Girl's POV
Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
Oh man, I'm only ten and I'm gonna burn alive in this place.I've learned about fire safety countless times in school, but it certainly doesnt help now. I'm too high up to jump out a window and the only door is blocked by fire and a big piece of wood.
So I stay in the room as smoke comes in, no towels around to block the door either. I dont understadn where are the firefighters? I can hear the others screaming. All I want to do is say goodbye to my mother who is probably freaking out.
Never fearing, only hearing voices calling out
Let it all go the life that you know
Just to bring them down alive
I scream two, I dont know why exactly. Maybe someone will hear my screams, maybe someone will help me. I hear a voice and he calls to me. I shout back again and he returns he sounds like he is outside the door. He cant open it.
How is he going to save me? There's got to be fire and debris everywhere. Especially that huge wooden thing in front of the door. But he breaks it down and if my eyes are correct it looks like his fists are glowing.
And you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed
He steps carefully towards me. He can't be that old, only a teenager, a verydirtyand tired looking teenager. I'm not really suppose to trust strangers, but there is something about his eyes that make me want to trust him. They are such a gentle shade of blue.
"Can you get up?" He asks me.
"No," I squeak"I think my ankle's broke."
So he in turn scoops me up and carries me through the burning building. I dont know why he is doing this for me, but I am grateful that he showed up when he did. He coughsa nd sounds very exhausted, I feel guilty I must be weighing my hero down.
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.
Danny put the young ten year old girl into Sam's arms. Sam knew Danny wanted her to look after the girl while he went back in. He looked from the girl to the goth. They both had soot covered faces, he touched Sam's face gently, and relized he must've looked just as dirty.
"Is everyone out?" Danny asked looking around.
"My husband! My husband is still in there!" Shouted a blonde pregnant woman with three other youngchildren clinging to her legs.
Danny's face hardened and he took one last look at Sam and dashed back into the building adn disappeared in the smoke.
Man's POV
Wanna hold my wife when I get home
Wanna tell the kids they'll never know how much I love to see them smile
I want to get out of here, I cant let it end like this. I have a wife, three kids and one on the way. I'm a journalist and it's a great job, I have a wonderful life. I catn let it end now.
This rather large door has fallen on me, well at least my brother got out he can help my family through. I'm going to burn alive, and I know it'll be painful. But I hear a voice shouting out forme.
Wanna make a change or two right now
Wanna live a life like you somehow
Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile
No way, a teenage boy approaches me, his face is dirty and his jet black hair is dripping with sweat, and maybe some blood. But his strangely bright blue eyes shine through. How long has he been doing this? He reaches for the door on my back. Surely he cannot lift it, he is just too scrawny. But he does.
He grabs my arm in a hurry not wanting to waste any more time. He pulls me through the apartment making sure we dodge all the falling objects big and small. We move down staircases completely unharmed, this boy is very agile.
"What is you're name?" I ask as we run.
"Danny." He answers and pulls me out of the way of falling wooden supporter.
This place is coming down. A wall shakes and begans to fall, it's going to hit us! It'll crush us both, surely we will die. But Danny holds tighter to me and the wall falls right through us, almost like it cannot touch us. Who is this boy? What did he just do? The whole building begins to collaspe, and Danny in a last effort throws me through a broken window
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.
Sam saw the man come out but she didnt see Danny, and the whole building was reduced to rubble. Sam shook her head tears forming in her eyes. No, it just couldnt be true, surely her friend was alright, he could just become intangible right? He saved himself didn't he? The young girl in Sam's arms looked up at the teary eyed goth.
"The hero isnt coming out is he?" She asked, but Sam neither affirmed or denied her. She just stood there.
The Rescue teams arrived at the moment the building came down and they were working on putting out the remaining flames. Sam handed the girl off to the paramedics and she talked to some firefighters. She needed to tell them Danny was still in there.
After the fire was put out they spent an hour searching through the rubble. Finally the found Danny. He was crushed under a lot of debris. The rescue team worked on getting it off of him while a paramedic went to talk to him, to see if he was alright. It was impossible for them to know why he was still concious.
"Danny, Danny Fenton can you hear me?" Danny nodded at the man.
"Did. everyone. get out.?" Danny asked his voice fractured.
"Yes, thanks to you, you're a real hero kid." He encouraged, all he had to do was keep Danny calm and with them.
"Sam," He breathed." I gotta see her."
"Yeah ok, the gothic looking one right?" After another nod from Danny the man motioned towards Sam. She was there in a second, and she kneeled in the wreck beside him.
"Sam?"
"I'm here Danny."
"Tell my parents and Jazz I'm sorry, tell Tucker I said goodbye. And Sam..."
"Danny this isn't happening." Sam murmmed as she squeezed his hand, tears running down her face.
"Sam be strong. Dont worry about me. And just remember..." He paused and took in a painful breath of air. "remember Sam, I love you." With that he closed his eyes and grew silent.
"Danny?" But no response was given to Sam."I love you Danny, I love you." But it was too late Danny was gone. There was nothing any one could do to save the young hero.
Everything is gonna be alright
Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Everything is gonna be alright
Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.
The next day the journalist wrote out a long memorial to his savior,telling of the ten lives that a single teenager saved.('Amity will little note, nor long remember what we saw here, but we can never forget what he did here. Real heroes do not come often, it is a shame to see one leave so early.')
Sad aint it? Oh well, I just had to get this one off my mind and onto plasma, so it is all yours now.
