Hi everyone, Sorry for the long wait. I had some trouble finishing this and with school work and my other stories. But now it's finally finished. Here's Chapter #4.

Chapter #4 Attack and Escape

Sam looked up at the sky to see dark grey clouds gathering and blocking the sun from view. She smiled a little before returning to getting water from the creek. She never like the sun much. She prefer cloudy days or night time over sunshine. Once she finished filling the last pouch, she gathered the rest in her arms and went back to the cave. As she climb up to the cave, she was greeted by Jazz who offered to help her carry the water pouches. She says she has nothing to do but Sam knew she wanted to get away from Jack. Who was talking about how to captor and contain a ghost with the right gemstones.

"Say, Jazz." Sam said.

"Yeah?"

"Have you notice Danny is acting werid?"

Jazz froze upon hearing the question. "What do you mean by werid?"

"I mean he hasn't talk much like he did when we were little and his right eye is always covered with his hair. What happened while you all were away?"

Jazz gnawed on her lower lip for a minute before saying. "Nothing is wrong, Sam. He...just...got a scar there while we were fighting the goblins that guarded the gem. It's nothing serious."

Sam raise an eyebrow. She was good at knowing something was going on. But she decided not to say anything.

Then suddenly Danny ran into the cave completely out of breath.

"Danny, What's going on?" Maddie asked. "Are you ok?"

"We...have to...leave." Danny panted. "A ghost...is after...Sam."

He coughed and hacked as the others stared at him in shock and confusion. They didn't have time to reacte when green blasts shot out of no where and hit the walls of the cave. Jack and Maddie quickly unsheathed their iron swords as a ghost with black hair dressed in a red cloak appeared.

"Ahh." she said with glee as her eyes fell on the princess. "I finally found you."

"Back off, ghost!" Maddie yelled as threw a small green vial at the spirit. It hit her in the chest and shattered, spilling green powder on her. The ghost shriek as the stuff burn through her ectoplasm like acid.

"Jazz, get Her Highness, Tucker and Valerie out of here!" Jack bellowed as he charged after the ghost. Sword high above his head.

Jazz nodded as she helped Valerie get her husband off the floor and carry him out of the cave while her parents distract the ghost with Sam following close behind. while they escaped, Danny quickly caught his breathe and stood up. Sam turned to see a green ball of light appear in her's friend's hands and throw it at the ghost. Who screamed and turned to face Danny with hatred in her eyes.

"Sam, hurry up!" Valerie called.

Sam jumped upon hearing name and run down the rocky slope after her friends. They kept moving until they reached the forest far from the clearing. They stopped when they reached an abandoned village deep in the woods.

"That was close." Jazz said. "How are you feeling, Tucker?"

"I'll...live." he answered sheepishly. He was still a weak from his injuries and the run through the forest hasn't done any good to him. His wounds on his chest opened a little, staining his shirt with blood. Jazz saw this and quickly placed a blanket on the ground she grabbed eariler while Sam helped Valerie lay Tucker down on it. While Jazz retreated Tucker's wounds, Sam turned and stared at the direction they came from. Still shock from what she saw eariler. What just happened there? Did her friend learn some magic while on his six year quest with his family?

Once Jazz finished with Tucker, she looked up to see the princess staring into space. "Sam, you alright?" she asked.

"Huh?"

"What are you looking at?"

"Did the ghost follow us?" Valerie asked worried.

"No." Sam answered. "No one followed us." she turned to her friends. "Jazz, how did Danny do that?"

Jazz stared at Sam confused. "What do you mean?"

"I saw Danny conjure a ball of light in his hand eariler. Did he learn any magic on your quest for the gem?"

Jazz bit her lip. The princess saw her brother use his powers. How is she going to explain this?

"Uh..."

"It's a curse."

They turned to see Danny and the elder Fentons walking towards them.

"A curse I got while on the way home."

Ok, Sam found out Danny has powers and is cursed. How did he get that way? Found out in the next installment of To Be Control or Not To Be Control.
