sammansonrepilica, glad to see that I'm not the only one.
Irelandlover, thanks for adding this story to your alerts.
Hellbreaker, you are the only one who noticed.
"So, what do we look for?" the Goth inquired moments later as she clung to Danny, her arms wrapped around his neck as they headed out toward their destination. The halfa shrugged, but Dan spoke up. He pointed out that anything that look out of place was a clue as to what had happened and if they would be coming back there. As they set down, all three jaws dropped. The building that had been standing just weeks ago was a ruin with no roof and the walls crumbling. "That's bad." She turned to them, her eyes questioning. "How do we explain that?"
"We don't," Dan stated as he walked past them toward the ruined building. "Are you sure this was the place?" Both ghost fighters nodded in agreement. They were sure that this had been the place, the only theater that had played that movie. "Well, now you need to do some research in regards to this particular place and that movie that you saw on the commercial." Sam's eyes narrowed suddenly, her mood switching like a breeze changing directions.
Smile on your face even though your heart is frowning
"Me? Did you just tell me what to do?" Both halfas looked at the now pissed off woman, her amethyst gaze fading to white a little. The air seemed to grow thicker around the Goth, but the two males couldn't see it, not really. "I am not your fucking slave!" She stomped her foot as her hands fell on her hips. Danny took a step toward her, her gaze falling on her best friend but not really seeing him as Danny. "Back off motherfucker!" she hissed as she took a step away from the pair.
"Sam, no one was telling you what to do!" Sam blinked at her name, the fog around her lifting.
"What the hell just happened?" she muttered as she held her now aching head. Danny looked back at Dan, both of them just as confused at her as to what they had just witnessed. "What are we doing here?" Now what was going on? Sam had been fine one minute, the next angry as hell and now she was confused. "Let's go home." Turning from them she began to walk off, her footfalls light as she moved to get away from the large building that for some reason made her feel so fucked up, so twisted like a braid of emotions that had nowhere to go.
Danny approached her and pulling the Goth into his arms took off into the skies. They needed to find answers for this mystery and now before a lot of people ended up dead!
But hey now
Hours later found the men sitting on Sam's bed as she researched several sites about death, things that the individual had done and how he picked his victims. Just as the Goth clicked on a site that had more information about how to defeat the Death that was after her the sound of Sam's phone went off in the large room.
"Hello?" Sam's jaw dropped as she listened to the person on the other end. "Seriously? Fuck!" Hanging up she opened a new tab on her browser as the news began to play. The halfas turned their attention to that as a reporter announced that several people had been found in an abandoned theater just moments ago thanks to a tip to local police officers. The trio watched as the names of the victims were announced and both halfas turned to the Goth with a look that spelled confusion as she continued to watch the screen in shock.
"Sam, how is it that all the people who died are ones from our high school?" She looked at him, anger reflecting in her eyes. "And that most of them tormented you?"
you know, girl
"Tormented? No. They didn't torment me," she said as she turned back to the screen. "I only had one tormenter and that is not any of your fucking business." She stood, her form stiff as she turned to them. "My tormenter was around all the time, watching and waiting for a chance to take me down for no other reason then she saw me as a threat." A smirk twisted on her lips, a twist that held irony as she continued, "And sometimes those tormentors take care of that threat in one way and only one way."
"I know, Sam," Dan said, his voice low as he stood up before her. "I found out about all the times I had left you alone, all that she said and did." The Goth's smile faded as she realized that he meant it. He had seen it all. "I'm sorry I didn't see it, but you never said a word, never let us know that she was threatening you at every turn." She growled, a frustrated noise.
"I never wanted you to find out, neither of you, but I knew that eventually it would come out, it always does. The rape got out with Death, the idiocy that I did by falling for a guy who would never see it, and finally my parents." She looked away now, her amethyst gaze turned to the skies. "They deserved to die and even though that makes me a bad person I can't help but think nothing but bad about them." She let out a huff. "I loved my parents no matter what, but I could never truly forgive them in the end because as they died before me all they could think of was the hate they felt for each other and for me."
We both know it's a cruel world
"Maybe that's truly why Death is after me. I escaped and now..." she faded off leaving the pair of males with that last thought. Sam never felt pity for herself, just anger at her problems. Neither way was healthy in retrospect, but she never pitied herself and here she was now, sounding like she had given up. "That felt good," she admitted. "I just held that in for so long and all the nightmares that haunted me." When she turned to look at the men standing before her the halfas noticed that her eyes were back to their original coloring. "There is one more thing."
But I will take my chances
Walking over to Danny she leaned forward, her lips falling softly on the halfa's. At first the male before her went still, his eyes wide in shock, but then he pulled her close as he arms came around her petite body and it was as if that whole world held it's breath for the couple. As Sam pulled back, her eyes fell on the halfa's own blue gaze and he watched the light enter her gaze just as she felt the feelings she had been missing fall into place.
"Oh, my god!" she screamed suddenly as she smiled up at Danny, a smile that had been sorely missed by the halfas. "We did it! I'm cured!" She rushed out of the room, a plan to set the rest of the people free. "Hurry up!" Danny rushed out, but upon noticing that Dan failed to follow turned to find the other halfa leaving through a portal. The younger halfa wanted to say something, but shrugging his shoulders followed Sam.
As long as you love me
Running down the street Sam screamed out, "Come on out Death!" Danny followed close behind, catching up with Sam in a matter of minutes as she screamed out again, "Don't be a fucking chicken!"
"Sam, what are you doing?" the halfa hissed. She smiled at him and yelled again, this time Death answered and he wasn't happy when he saw the pair. Danny and Sam stopped, the halfa standing as close to Sam as he could while she smiled up at the man now dressed in a black robe. He still looked the same as she had first seen him, but she knew that he was just playing a part.
"Death, I have a few things that I think you should know!" The man smirked now, his eyes full of interest. "I don't want to die and those people you have under your spell have nothing to do with me at all!" His smirk fell and to the halfa's shock the man began to glow before bursting into flames, but he wasn't done with them as the smoke cleared and the fire was gone. Now before them was a skeleton whose eyes were red like blood as he glared at her.
We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke
"Samantha Manson, you called me and asked for help to kill those who did horrible things to you and that is what I did, but as always it comes at a price. Your death." A blast shot from Death's hands as he attempted to hit the Goth only to run into Danny who had stepped before the raven haired woman, his ghost shield shimmering green around them. "What the fuck?! I thought that you were coming to take me on alone, not with someone who would step in!"
"I never said I would do it alone because it takes someone strong to admit that they need help." Danny smiled before Death as Sam reached out to take his hand. That was all they had to do was prove that Sam didn't call him and she had so the pair watched as Death was suddenly sucked into a hole that had appeared from behind the skeleton. One problem happened at this point... The hole stayed open and while the pair thought they were safe in Danny's shield they soon found that wasn't true.
As long as you love me
"Oh no," Sam said as her hair was pulled forward, lightly at first like a soft breeze, but then it started pulling on the halfa blocking her form. "Danny, I have a bad feeling about this!" The halfa powered up a little, his chill stronger now as he turned to her.
"We need to move!" Rushing away with Sam in his arms Danny soon found that the suction was getting stronger now as they moved away.
YOU WILL NOT GET OFF THAT EASILY!
The pair felt the power around Danny begin to fade as his power was drawn into the space. As the power faded so did the halfa side of Danny just seconds before they found themselves flying back toward the hole. The halfa reached out for Sam and pulled her close as their forms disappeared into the darkness, the hole closing after them.
