Chapter Fourteen

Sam lay in a small, damp cell all afternoon. Silent tears streamed down her face. Every part of her body hurt and her stomach churned uncomfortably. The blood between her legs was still flowing viciously, and Sam was all but positive she had lost the baby.

She lay her head against the cold concrete, wishing to be dead. She wanted to die, slowly and painfully, for all the grief she had caused Danny and the rest of the Fentons. At the moment, to be with her dead child was all she wanted. Was what she deserved.

Sam shuddered violently, the cold in the cell engulfing her for a moment.

Suddenly, a lean body appeared in front of her. Sam thought she was hallucinating until she noticed that the figure had snowy white hair and shockingly green eyes. It stared down at her, and the warmth of its gaze immediately overtook the cold atmosphere.

"Danny?" Sam gasped. She tried to get to her feet but slumped down; the pain was too much.

Danny walked over to her and gently hugged her, kissing her cheek. Sam wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his chest, fresh tears staining the suit.

"I thought you hated me," Sam whispered into his suit.

"I could never hate you Sam," Danny answered truthfully, gently rubbing her back.

Sam felt happiness drive away the sadness she had felt moments ago. Danny could have hated her—should have hated her—but instead, here he was, saying he didn't even after his only sister had died.

Suddenly Danny detached himself from Sam's grip. He sat down in front of her and quietly asked, "Were you going to kill my family? Please Sam, tell me the truth."

Sam averted his gaze, staring down at the concrete floor instead. When she spoke, her voice was raw and full of pain. "I didn't want to Danny. I really didn't. Grandmother said that if I didn't, she would kill the baby."

"Shh, it's okay Sam," Danny said, wiping away the tears that had started pouring out of Sam's eyes. "You've got to think about yourself and the baby—that's all that matters."

Sam looked up at him, her eyes shining. "Danny, the baby, it's-"

"Don't worry," Danny reassured her. "Everything will be okay. I promise you."

"But Danny. The baby is-"

"I won't let Vlad hurt you, Sam. Be ready to leave in an hour." Danny gave her a quick kiss and stood up. He floated a few inches off the ground, and suddenly, he was gone.

Maddie walked over to the jail where Sam was being kept. She wanted to have a quick chat with her and get all the information she could before Sam died. Vlad had been furious when he found out who Sam really was. Without question, he had thrown her into the most protected and cramped cell he could find, announcing that she would be hanged at sunrise for her crime.

She rounded a corner, seeing the jail in the distance. But...something wasn't right.

Maddie stopped walking, rooted to her spot.

The top right half of the jail was torn open, fire and smoke billowing into the starry night. There, a ghostly aura surrounding him, flew Danny Phantom. He was holding a young woman with one hand, using the other one to blast a tall, mean looking ghost.

Maddie squinted, trying to make out the other ghost. She had definitely seen him around before, but the name kept slipping her.

Danny weaved through the smoke, dodging blasts of green energy Plasmius was throwing at him. Sam clutched his hand. She screamed as another ghost ray missed her left ear by inches. Danny turned around and, mustering all his strength, let out the most powerful Ghostly Wail he ever had.

Vlad was instantly thrown back by the force of the Wail. The rest of the top of the jail was ripped off, the flames eagerly climbing in and out of windows, burping great plumes of smoke. A great piece of the roof struck Plasmius. He was knocked cold and flew down to the ground, where he landed with a sick thud.

Danny felt his strength leaving him. He closed his mouth, ending his Wail, and fought to regain control of his body, which seemed to want to change back into his human half. He drunkenly flew across the night, spiraling slowly down. After a few miles, his body transformed of its own will. He closed his eyes and sunk into unconsciousness.

Sam screamed as they fell down. She desperately looked up at Danny, but he seemed to have passed out.

Sam gasped for air, but the wind ripped the breath out of her lungs. The ground was looming closer; it was feet away. She opened her mouth and let out one more scream. That was the last sound she made before she and Danny crashed into the earth.

Author's Note: Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark in the morning! So, Danny must really love Sam to risk breaking her put of jail, eh? ESPECIALLY when he knows Vlad's protecting it.

Will Sam, Danny, and the baby be okay? What was Sam trying to tell Danny about the baby?

Wait and see!
