A/N: So, I'm rewriting this fic and adding more. I wrote it about 3 years ago, so it wasn't my best work. However, I'm sure this edited version will be better and more enjoyable. To old readers: I hope you like the edited version and be sure to review! To new readers: Thanks for reading my fic dedicated to Sam Manson and Danny Fenton/Phantom. Be sure to review! Thanks! By the way, I'm pretending that Phantom Planet never happened, so no one knows that Danny is a ghost.
Sam yawned before turning her face as sunshine shone in her face. Suddenly, she jumped up before looking around.
She was in her room. A confused look seized her features as she looked around her. How was she in her room? She couldn't remember what had happened the night before. Sam groaned and got out of bed, her knees wobbling as she clutched her bed to steady herself. She felt tired and weak for some strange reason. Suddenly, memories about what had happened the night before flooded her mind. Turning around, she grabbed her remote and switched on the television, needing to see the news. Just as she was about to change it to the news, her mom's voice sounded from downstairs.
"Sam, Nicolas is here!" Pamela Manson yelled in her usual singsongy voice before Sam heard her begin talking to Nicolas. Sam headed towards the door before she stopped and looked at herself in the mirror. With her bed hair, disarrayed clothing, and puffy eyes, she looked a mess. There was no way she could meet Nicolas looking like she did. Quickly, she turned and dashed into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, Sam emerged from the bathroom, feeling fresh and presentable. Her long black hair was clipped up and she had her bang over her right eye. She was wearing her new skull earrings and a black tube top with a flaming purple guitar. Paired with her favorite worn dark jeans and her purple and black sneakers, she looked ready for a date.
After looking at herself once more in the mirror, she turned and ran down the stairs, stopping when she entered the kitchen.
Standing in the kitchen were Danny and Tucker but no Nicolas.
"Where's Nicolas?" She asked, turning towards her mom.
"Oh, he left a few minutes ago. He said to meet him later in the park. I guess you took too long." Pam replied, casually tossing her hair over her shoulder. Sam growled at her before sighing and turning towards Danny and Tucker.
"What's up guys?" She asked as she sat at the table. She poured a glass of orange juice and began drinking it as she stared at the television.
"Yes, that's right. A new ghost in town. This new ghost chick has long red hair and dresses in a sexy red outfit. Ghost kid Danny Phantom better watch out because there's a new kid on the block and, from how she fights, she's quite powerful too." The reporter said before footage of Amber's fight the night before came on. Sam spit out the juice she was drinking. She didn't remember any cameras or media being there while she was fighting. What if someone had seen her changing?
Suddenly, she became aware of the fact that everyone was staring at her. Clearing her throat, she grabbed a rag and cleaned up the spill.
"As if one ghost isn't enough for this town." She said in response to her outburst, knowing it would get her mother and father started. Sure enough, Pam agreed right away and left with her husband, passionately expressing her views about the new ghost and what a menace ghosts were to society. Sam turned to Danny and Tucker the moment her parents had both gone. Danny looked excited as he stared at her.
"What could he possibly be so happy and excited about?" Sam wondered as she stared at him.
"So, now you know what I meant last night. She's good, isn't she?" Danny asked as he gestured towards the television. Sam shrugged before nodding.
"I guess. She does look powerful." She replied, watching as Danny eagerly agreed.
"And she's hot too." Tucker piped up before Danny could say it.
"Told you. What a chick. Even hotter than Paulina, I'd have to say." Danny said as Tucker nodded. Sam inwardly blushed at the fact that her long time crush found her attractive.
"I'm so mad I got knocked out. But, we can ogle at her all we want when we find her." Tucker said, causing Sam's eyes to grow wide. She approved of Danny ogling her but the thought of Tucker doing so sent shivers down her spine. Suddenly, his words reached her brain.
"Wait, what? What do you mean when we find her?" Sam asked, her eyes darting back and forth between her two best friends. Were those two insane?
Well, she knew that they were. It was obvious to her and everyone else. She rolled her eyes as she listened to Tucker and Danny argue over how to find her.
"I think we should wait until another ghost attacks and she shows up. Then, I leap into action and take out the ghost. And, as I suck the ghost back into the Fenton Thermos, she'll be so impressed and just have to talk to me. And when she does, I'll just crank up the Tucker charm and win her over. Then, she'll tell us whatever we need to know. After all, Tucker is smooth with the ladies." Sam watched in horror as Tucker clicked his tongue and winked before shuddering and turning away.
"Um, Tucker, there are two things wrong with that statement." Danny began before Sam cut him off.
"More like a lot of things wrong. And, apparently, most of them are in your brain." Sam scoffed before folding her arms.
"Tucker, what Sam is trying to say is that there is no way she would want to talk to you. I mean, I think she would want to talk to the so obviously hot half ghost who is always saving people and fighting bad guys. I mean, dude, I'm like famous. Everyone knows who Danny Phantom is. I'm pretty sure they're going to make a movie about my life soon." Danny smirked before Tucker burst out into laughter.
"In your dreams. No woman can resist Tucker's charm." He said before posing, a smug grin on his lips.
"Ugh, you're both losers in my opinion." Sam said, shaking her head.
"Really? Then, what's your plan, Miss I'm-so-smart?" Tucker asked, raising an eyebrow as he shot Sam a challenging look.
"Um, look for her? You know, in the Ghost Zone?" She replied in an it's-so-obvious-even-a-monkey-could-guess voice.
"Oh, right. But, how exactly are we going to find her?" Tucker asked, looking from Danny to Sam, who merely shrugged.
"Don't know, don't care. Now, to move on with our lives." Sam smiled before she headed towards the door. "Guys, can we get out of my kitchen and never discuss ghost stuff in here ever again?"
"I got it!" Danny suddenly exclaimed, excitement evident on his face. Sam didn't like where this entire conversation was headed.
"We'll do research on her!" Danny said, smiling at both Sam and Tucker. Sam held in a groan as her two best friends headed out the door. She really didn't like where this was headed.
"Are you demented? Like seriously, are you looking to get killed?" Sam yelled as Danny piloted the ship through the Ghost Zone. Danny studied her before shaking his head and scoffing.
"Really, Sam, why are you so scared? I mean we've done more dangerous things." He replied while Sam fumed.
"But never something as stupid as this. Seriously, ask Skulker about her?" Sam asked, her eyes wide. Danny and Tucker really were taking stupidity to a new level.
"The more we know about her, the better prepared we will be if we have to confront her." Danny said as if it were common sense. Beside him was a nodding Tucker.
"You yourself said it Sam. We should look for her. But, before we do so, it's best to know just what we're up against." Tucker said while Danny nodded in agreement.
"I guess." Sam mumbled before she turned away, shaking her head. No matter how much they knew about her, they still would never be prepared enough to confront her. Sam hoped that they would never confront her, much less Eris.
"Scared?" Tucker suddenly asked from besides her. Sam scoffed at him before she nodded slightly.
"I guess. I mean, this chick sounds insanely powerful. And we're looking for her." Sam replied as Tucker nodded.
"I know. That chick was strong. She blasted Skulker and she brought down an entire building." He said, although Sam sensed more surprise than fear in his voice.
"Then, she opened a portal and sent Skulker back into the Ghost Zone. A portal from her hand! Can any other ghosts do that? Is that even possible?" Tucker continued on his monologue of awe and excitement. Danny, however, turned and shook his head as he moved to stand beside them.
"No, Vlad said no ghost has ever been able to do that, no matter how powerful. The energy it takes would destroy them." Danny replied, causing both Sam and Tucker to shudder, although each did so for other reasons.
"Destroy them? Well, we know one thing. This chick is powerful because it didn't destroy her. And we are looking for her. We're like sitting ducks. We're like turkeys on Thanksgiving running around and yelling 'Eat Me' or 'Shoot Me'." Tucker said, fear suddenly replacing the previous excitement in his voice. Sam, however, knew how he felt. He was scared of her, of course. Every ghost was scared of her. She was the uncrowned Queen of Darkness and Chaos.
Well, Eris was, not that any ghost cared about making a correction. But, she was locked away, trapped in Sam, hidden behind Amber.
But, if it was close, she would be released. Just as she was yesterday. In this situation, control was essential. Eris being released meant the end of life and destruction of both the ghost and human world.
"Well, we're here." Danny's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. Sighing, she turned and followed him, a heavy feeling in the pit of her stomach.
Just as Danny began to move towards where Skulker usually stayed, a blast shot out and hit him.
"What do you want, ghost child?" Skulker growled as he suddenly appeared and towered over Danny, who was now on the floor. He looked at them and his knuckles cracked as he began to approach them.
"No, we're not here to fight." Danny said as both Sam and Tucker pulled out weapons. They lowered the weapons reluctantly while Danny stood.
"We just have some questions." Danny said, looking at Skulker.
"Questions?" The ghost asked in a confused voice. Danny nodded and approached the hunter.
"What do you know about the new ghost who was in Amity Park yesterday? This Amber? Or was it Eris?" Danny asked, causing Skulker's eyes to grow wide before he shook his head.
"That is something we ghosts do not speak of. Ever. Why, to even utter her name is dangerous. If you know what is good for you, stay away from that ghost or you will suffer." Skulker replied, causing Danny to grin at him.
"So, I take it that you do know something about her." Danny raised an eyebrow before Skulker grimly nodded.
"Yes, I do, ghost child. But, she is not a topic we like to discuss in the Ghost World. Amber is acceptable, but Eris is the one we all fear. She is the definition of fear." Skulker replied, causing Danny and Tucker's eyes to grow wide. This Eris chick was obviously terrifying if even Skulker was terrified of her.
"Amber?" Danny asked, a confused look on his face.
"Isn't Amber that ghost who sings?" Tucker asked the same question on Danny's mind.
"No, you whelp. That is Ember. This one is much older. Amber hails from the Dark Ages. You see, there was a time in the Ghost Zone which we ghosts all refer to as the Dark Ages. All evils ran loose at that time and it was pure chaos." Skulker replied, watching as Danny and Tucker hung onto his every word.
Sam watched in surprise as her two best friends hung onto every word of ghost history yet refused to listen to even a word about American history.
"Boys." She mumbled as she listened to Skulker.
"Now, who is Eris?" Tucker asked, causing Skulker to freeze. Skulker looked at them before sighing as he realized that they wouldn't leave until he answered their questions.
"Eris is the dark part of Amber's soul. You see, Eris was created out of anger, hatred, fear, chaos. She was created out of everything that is bad and evil, all of those evil emotions that people experience. But, mainly, Eris was created out of a need for revenge. Her very name means chaos, which is what she causes. She strikes fear into our hearts and permanently stains our souls with terror and horror." Skulker said, shaking his head. Both Danny and Tucker seemed enthralled and eagerly listened for more. Sam turned her head away, not wanting to hear any more.
She knew that she was a monster, but to have Danny and Tucker hear about her was too much.
"But, they don't know as yet." A voice whispered in her head.
"But, why don't you like to talk about her and why did we never hear about her? Why do no ghosts talk about her?" Danny asked, breaking Sam out of her thoughts once again. Skulker sighed before he continued. He regretted getting himself in this situation, and especially wondered why they chose him to ask such questions to.
"Since I already told you so much, I might as well tell you everything, ghost child. It all took place hundreds of years ago. It took place in a time we called the Dark Age, as I mentioned before. At that time, the War of the Ghost World was happening. It was around this time that Amber was born. No, wait, it was after. You see, during this time, Amber's father was at war with King Pariah, the rul-" Skulker stopped as Danny raised his hand.
"What is it, ghost child?" He snapped impatiently.
"Isn't Pariah the one with the ring?" Danny asked. Skulker glared at him for a moment before nodding.
"Yes. You see, he was at war with Amber's father, who was king of-" This time, Tucker raised his hand and interrupted Skulker.
"What now?" Skulker demanded as he stood, towered over Tucker.
"Amber's a princess?" Tucker asked, earning him a sigh from Skulker.
"Looks like I'll have to go through the entire ghost history." He said before turning towards Sam. "Do you have any questions?"
Sam shook her head and sat besides Danny and Tucker as Skulked began. Both Danny and Tucker listened eagerly as the hunter spoke, nodding occasionally as they listened to ghost history.
Sam watched them, wishing they had been this interested for American history as well as European and World history. Perhaps, then they would have passed the class. But, of course they weren't interested in that kind of history. No, they were interested in the history behind a sexy ghost chick.
Sam, however, didn't really pay attention as Skulker spoke. After all, it was her life story that he was telling. No one knew it better than her.
