Chapter 16: The Feeling

"Let me get this straight. You know where Tucker is because of a call from your dead sister?" Mrs. Stuth had a skeptical look on her face when Danny nodded. She sighed and gave in. "The sad thing is this is still not the weirdest thing I've seen from you two." That comment earned a laugh from us all, it was terribly true. Well, at least we weren't doomed to a normal boring life.

Maddie took the wheel when we got to the teacher's car seeing as she was the only one that really knew where the hell we were going. As we drove, I couldn't stop the sense of foreboding that keep itself firmly latched in my stomach.

So close, I was so close to having the power I craved. I'll admit, this girl had far more will power than the idiot I used to be in, but even she couldn't hold me back forever. I'd take over at some point, it was going to be soon.

These kids were going to be broken into a thousand pieces when they realize how this night will ultimately end. I had been debating over whether or not I should tell them all day, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. If they knew, they'd only try and stop it and end up with more lives lost than what had to be. I could only hope Danny and Sam would forgive me when they realized I had known all along.

Plasmius is something of a legend amongst those who know of him. He's the one ghost we know how to destroy, but have yet to be able to. It takes a sacrifice of pure love to fully destroy him. No one that knew of him had that capability at hand. Not until now.

I was sure Jack or Jazz knew from their position in the Ghost Zone, and it was almost guaranteed that in their subconscious this whole thing was leading up to the removal of Plasmius once and for all. Whether they actually knew it or not was something different entirely.

The only thing I didn't know yet was which one of them was going to die.

I hated that this was going to happen, but I hated not knowing who I was going to have to comfort most more. I would have liked to be prepared.

The car ride was almost silent as we drove to the location of the old Fenton Works. The memories the flew back into my mind as we passed through the streets to the untouched ruins of the old house amazed me. I remembered running down this street after Danny or Tucker, sometimes running from them. The dozens of tickle wars between me and Danny brought a smile to my face as I remembered them. Even seeing the location of his elementary school bus stop brought back memories of us sitting together playing with Pokémon toys even though I normally couldn't stand the franchise in general. The more I was reminded of our younger years, the more I began to realize why people were always calling us lovebirds since we started middle school.

Honestly, we were both insanely clueless back then.

I couldn't help but notice the troubled look on Mrs. Stuth's face, but any time me or Danny tried asking her what was wrong, she refused to answer. I had learned that whenever she refused to state what was on her mind, she knew something we didn't, and the look on her face the whole time told me I really didn't want to know.

Something in the look in her eyes told me the shit was really about to hit the fan.

Joy.

Firstly: Short, yes, but this chapter didn't want to be any longer, so you get to deal with it.

Secondly: For the record, the POVs go Sam, Plasmius, Mrs. Stuth, then back to Sam.

Thirdly: May the death threats I'm sure to be getting begin.

Commetns and feedback are welcome as always! ...even if they are death threats... :P
