Hello, I just wanted to say that I have been going through some very tough times lately...but you will be happy to know I haven't given up. I stopped writing, and then I realized how much I missed it. So now even though things in my life are getting no better, I have realized I can't give up on my stories...So With out further ado here, my fateful readers, is Chapter 13.

( almost forgot...Disclaimer: Its been awhile, but surprisingly (not) I still don't own Danny Phantom.)

Chapter 13

Sam Sighed, She couldn't focus on anything now. Especially not Geometry! The problems seemed to mock her as she attempted to solve for y. She reached the last problem., only to gasp when she realized what a mistake she had made, Glancing back at #29, It read :

Y(5/6+8.89) x ( 7.87+4.22) Danny

She blushed at her own mistake and began to erase furiously at the paper, tears welled at the back of her eyes threatening to spill...but she grit her teeth and scrapped harder at the piece of parchment.

" DAMMIT!" She growled when she ripped a whole through her paper.

" Miss. Manson..." Her teacher stated firmly " I will not have such language in my class."

" May I please be excused?" She asked. Normally Mrs. Hub would let no one of her class during a major test, but something in Sam's eyes changed her mind.

" Have you finished your test?" She asked. Glancing back at her paper she scribbled two answers down quickly. " Yes ma'am" She placed her paper at the front of the desk, and strolled out into the hall way and into the bathroom. Which, thankfully, was deserted. She gripped the porcelain sink until her knuckled turned white. Deep breaths...don't cry she repeated in her head. However did she think she would be ok without Danny, they had been best friends forever...she glanced down at her finger, and the tears finally began to fall. For her finger was bare, where normally a black and silver bat ring would rest. Danny gave it to her when they had first met, jokingly she had told him she would never take to off...but she had decided she rather liked it, so naturally it just stuck.

Now it just seemed that there was no turning back... they had both been so horrible to each other...her trying to make him jealous, and Him chasing her away. She had to make it right, Danny would understand...they had vowed to be friends forever. But the look in his eyes when her told her to get lost told her everything she needed to know.

" Wonderful." She murmured to herself when she caught sight of her mascara running down her cheeks.

" I don't know..." A voice said from behind " With a little eye liner that could totally work." Sam turned around to see Leo at the bathroom door.

" Oh Leo hey." She murmured dabbing at her makeup.

" What's wrong love?" He asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. She shrugged it off.

" If you don't mind Leo." She paused wiping her eyes " I need to be alone right now."

" But sam." He said trying to hug her.

" NOT NOW!" She pushed him off her. He looked back at her looking sincerely hurt. She stormed off quickly leaving him behind.

" Damn," he growled. This wasn't supposed to be how it worked. She was supposed to be upset yes...but she was supposed to be comforted by him. " VLAD." he called. His eyes floated off to the end of the room where, in a pink portal, Vlad appeared.

" Yes?" he asked sounding irritated.

" What the hell is wrong! Why is she denying me?" He yelled.

" I don't know maybe it's because she finds you annoying..." He paused when he saw Leo's hands glow " Or it could be because she takes some of the blame on herself and not no Daniel."

" WELL FIX IT!" He yelled.

" And how do you propose I do that!" Vlad asked.

" I don't know overshadow him or something, make them fight! Make Him to blame! " He said rubbing his temples

" Do you have any idea how hard it would be to overshadow another halfa when he's angry." He yelled throwing his hands in the air.

" No, That's why I hired you." he retorted.

" No." Vladd ( Is it with one or two d's?) Stated simply.

" Excuse me?" Leo asked " I believe you misunderstood that WASN'T a request."

" Well neither is this, I QUIT!" Vlad screeched. " I would rather be tided to Jack Fenton for a month than work one more day as your servant.

" Fine, " he replied cooly " looks like you don't get the other Half of the crystal."

" I already have both halves you fool!" he laughed " I stole the other half when you weren't looking."

"Oh and how do you plan to unite them?" leo asked " In order to use it both pieces have to be fused together...and in order to that you need a powerful warlock. And considering I'm most likely the only one you will ever find that wouldn't kill you on contact...I believe I'm your best bet."

Vladd considered it for a moment " Fine" he grumbled.

" A fine choice." He chuckled. Vladd nodded and left through the portal.

He followed Danny's unique ora and spotted him alone in the Parking lot. Perfect he thought. Out of the corner he spotted Sam walking up to him Most likely to apologize. Vladd smirked and Phased into Danny.

Hello Daniel

VLADD! Danny screamed inside his head, what the hell do you want. Get out of my head.

Afraid I cant do that. Vladd chuckled darkly you see I need to borrow your body for a few minutes.

My body what the hell do you need my body f... Before Danny could finish he saw Sam walking in his direction. You leave her alone!

Very good Daniel Vladd mock-praised. But I can't, so just sit back and relax. Struggling will just make it more painful. That was the last thing Danny heard before Vladd took full control of Danny's body. Now all he could do now was watch.

" Danny hey." sam smiled sadly.

" What the Hell do you want? Didn't I tell you to leave me alone." he felt himself say.

He eyes widened " Yes I know, I just wanted...wanted to apologize...Look Danny we were both Jerks."

He chuckled " Who do you mean WE?"

Sam lowered her head " I suppose I deserved that, always trying to make you jealous isn't the best quality to have in a friend."

Jealous? Danny thought... "Jealous please why would I EVER be jealous? Don't kid yourself Sam, why would I think of someone like...yourself as more that a friend." He spat. " You make me sick in fact, so we were friends when we were younger. Frankly Sam...I've outgrown you."

" Waa...what?" She asked dumbfounded.

" You heard me...you fickle, selfish and not to mention... GET OUT OF MY HEAD VLADD!" Danny managed to break the barrier momentarily.

Sam's head snapped up from her stupor " Vladd... what are you talking about Danny?"

" Nothingnothing, now where was I...Oh yeah selfish...DON'T LISTEN TO HIM SAM HE'S OVERSHADOWING ME!" Danny's eyes glowed pink " SHUT UP SHUT UP! YOUR RUINING EVERYTHING!"

Sam watched as Danny's eyes went from glowing green to pink. With out further thought she transformed. " GET OUT OF HIM!" Using a Latin spell she managed to expel Vladd. Leaving Danny weakened on the ground.

" INSOLENT FOOL! You've ruined everything!" He screeched shooting a Blast of plasma at a near by fire-escape on the side of the school. Sam only had a split second to think, before it fell.When the dust cleared, Danny awoke to find himself on the ground, still weakened from the overshadowing. He noticed too the Vladd had fled. " Figures." he muttered. He nearly passed out before he was awoken by a grown, coming from under the fire escape. " SAM!"
