A/N: Hahaha!! I ended the first chapter on a cliffie!! . . . Oh shnap . . (dodges sharp pointy objects and rotten fruit) GAH! Okay, okay, I get it! I'm evil!! Now, STOP THROWING THINGS AT ME!!

BlueMouse: (Is wearing earmuffs and a blindfold) Yeah . . . I'm not allowed to see or hear the last chapter . . . or the next . . . (sighs)

Kara: (nods) She's just like a little innocent child and we don't want her getting scarred too much. Anywho, this starts out pretty fast so if it seems to slow down a bit in later chapters it's only because this first chapter started out fast.

Danny: (Is holding Sam back from mauling Chibi and Kara) Um . . . can we get the disclaimer over with now?

Sam: HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS!! I AM NOT A FUCKING DAMSEL!! I HATE DAMSELS!! YOU (censored do to extreme profanity)

Tucker: (sweatdrop)

Kara: (sweatdrop, nervous laugh) W-Well . . . we like putting people in danger for some odd reason a-and w-we had you fighting back . . . s-so you're sort of a reluctant damsel.

Chibi: Let's just do the disclaimer.

Tucker: Chibi doesn't own Danny Phantom.

Danny: She only owns the plot of this AU story and her OC's.

Sam: (glowers)So you can sue all you want but it won't do you any good.

Chibi: (sweatdrop)

Chapter 2: The Haunting Rescue

Sam was furious. She was kicking in spite of the ropes that kept her legs together. She was thrashing, trying to break the ropes around her arms. She was screaming, hoping to whatever heavenly force was out there that someone would hear her, and she was sending the two men who were pulling her out of the car like a piece of luggage, death glares. And as a goth, she had a pretty decent death glare.

She was yelling profanities, and to keep her own hopes up, she used the word 'when' instead of 'if.' Like, "WHEN I GET OUT OF THESE FUCKING ROPES YOU TWO BASTARDS ARE SO FUCKING DEAD!!" But of course the two men weren't listening to her and since she was gagged, her words were muffled and perhaps they just didn't understand what she was yelling. Muscles had slung Sam over his shoulder and she was kicking his chest like there was no tomorrow. And Sam felt fear well up within her, although she did her best to keep it from showing. For she knew that every step that the men took towards the castle, the closer she got to being raped.

Fuck! I'm so fucking screwed!!

Danny was fiddling with some switches and dials making sure that everything was ready. Not to mention that this would be a great time to test out Tucker's latest experiment, which would distort anyone's voice into a sinister ghostly one. And the best part was, if you programmed it to be in a certain area of the castle it sounded like it was all around anyone who might have been in that area. So when he saw the intruders enter his castle, and of course leave the doors open, he waited until they were a reasonable distance away before pressing a button to make the front door slam shut and lock itself. The 

guy who was carrying the girl jumped and through the hidden microphones, Danny could hear in the control room exactly what they were saying. And it seemed his spooking act worked pretty well too, since the girl seemed to have been startled silent.

"D-uh . . . b-boss . . . why'd the doors shut."

"Just a draft you idiot. Now come on. We need to find a room with a bed."

Danny felt his blood boil. They were rapists. And the girl who had gone back to struggling on the big guy's shoulder was their victim. Well there was no way he was going to let a crime happen inside his castle. He turned on the mic, and luckily, none of the feedback noise showed up when he did, making his plan near flawless. "Leave my castle!" Danny said in a threatening and commanding tone of voice as he made the lights flicker on and off.

Sam's head shot up hearing the eerie voice that seemed to be coming from every direction and felt her heart rate speed up as the lights started flickering. Was the castle really haunted? That was insane! Every time she had ventured up to the castle, nothing like this had happened. First the door, now the lights, and then a voice comes out of nowhere telling them to leave. Normally, she would find this really cool, but at the moment she was trying to focus on NOT getting raped.

Muscles was shaking, Sam could feel it. "B-b-b-boss . . . let's get outta here . . . I don't wanna be haunted . . ." he said, and his voice betrayed how terrified he was. Sam smirked but it was wiped off by Mastermind's response to Muscle's statement.

"You supersticious n-ninny! This is the p-perfect place to do it a-and I'll be damned if a g-ghost gets in my way!" he said, although his voice portrayed some fear as well.

So Muscles, carrying Sam, started walking again but stopped as a Chandelier fell and crashed on the floor right in front of them.

"Next time I won't miss . . ." the voice said sinisterly, and that was enough to send Muscles running and Mastermind following close behind him. Sam was continuing to struggle since they continued to carry her.

Danny frowned, even though he had scared the crap out of them, they still carried the girl. He smirked to himself hearing the big guy as he realized that the doors were locked.

"B-boss!! The doors won't open!!" And by zooming in on the camera, Danny could see how terrified the guys were, but oddly enough, the girl didn't seem fazed by his 'haunting.' Rather she seemed somewhat relieved that the guys couldn't get out and were too scared to search the castle anymore.



"Leave the girl here, and I'll let you live . . ." Danny said sinisterly into the microphone. His smirk grew slightly seeing them drop the girl, although he was now concerned that she might have gotten a few bruises. The guys started to bang on the door, pulling and pushing, trying desperately to get out. He unlocked the door and made sure that they had left, watching their car squeal off, before closing them again and heading out of the control room, to head downstairs and help the girl. He reached into his pocket, making sure his pocket knife was there and shook his head with a sigh.

Cowards. Sacrificing a girl to save their own skins. Well that's good news for the girl anyway.
