I'm back!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for not updating in… almost 2 weeks! Believe me, I been very busy with school work, and family business. Like, for example, my brother getting kicked out of the house.

He made a freakin' hole in the wall, and a hole in my bedroom door -_-

And JUST BECAUSE my Mom didn't buy him his precious cigarettes. What a selfish brat he is…

Anyway, thank you for the people who comforted me about the friends thing. I really needed that, and I really appreciate it. My friend who abandoned me apologized and we're back to being buddies. We even sat next to each other the way to our field trip xD

Oh, did I tell you guys I had a field trip on Friday?

I guess not xD

Our field trip was at the movie theater and we saw "Jack the Giant Slayer", then we went to the food court. It was fun ^_^

Anyway, enough chit-chat. Let's get to the story, shall we?

I do not own Danny Phantom.

A Phantom Story

Chapter 9

My eyes fluttered open, and everything was all a blur. I blinked several times, and finally soon enough, my vision was clear. I looked at my surroundings, and noticed I was somewhere that wasn't very familiar to me. Actually, it wasn't familiar at all. The room was dark and purple. I was laying on a cold solid table, and found out that my hands were trapped in metal bracelets. I panicked. Where was I? How did I get here?

It was then that lights flashed on, too bright for me to handle. I squinted my eyes as I saw a black figure come towards the table I was laying on. I gulped. I wondered who this man or creature was. Was I kidnapped? Does Phantom know I'm here? Does anybody know?

The black figure came towards the light so I could see his face. His face had blue skin, black midnight hair with two points of his hair that struck up towards the sky, sharp like a knife, his eyes pure red, and his vampire teeth sticking out from his mouth. When I found out that his skin glowed, I realized that he's a ghost. Yet, why did he look so familiar?

"You're finally awake, Samantha. I was getting worried," the ghost spoke in a low, deep voice.

"Who are you? What do you want?" I questioned the ghost, my voice screeching. The ghost just smiled.

"Don't worry, girl, I won't hurt you… yet." The ghost claimed. "I have captured you, so I can get my revenge on an old fellow."

"And who is that 'old fellow'?" I asked.

"You know who that person or ghost is."

"I don't think so…" I trailed off. "What does this have to do with me anyway?"

"Remember your parents?" the ghost asked. I froze. What was he trying to get at?

"Of course… why?"

"Well, you see, they were on my list. The list that contained people who I shall kill," the ghost explained. I wide eyed.

"Why would you ever want to do that? What did they ever do to you?" I asked, anger threatening in my voice. This only made him grin wider than before.

"Many things, my dear. Many things…" he trailed off. It was just then that a crash came through the ceiling, and my savior had appeared.

And that savior, was Phantom.

"Let her go, you freak!" Phantom shouted. He punched him straight in the face, and kicked him in the shins. The ghost flew backwards far away from here, and that's when Phantom looked at me.

He ripped off the bracelets that kept me on hold, and picked me up in bridal style. "We have to get out of here," he had whispered in my ear. I only nodded timidly at him, and we were gone in a flash.

The ride home was sort of quiet, and none of us spoke. I wondered what he was thinking. Sure, he was a hero of this town, but is he really that worried or concerned about me? We only just met a few days ago, but I can't help but feel like I known him for forever. Its like how I feel when I'm with Rebecca and Alex, who I can be myself around. But there was something else about Phantom that was special. What was it?

Of course the number one thing that was different about him was him being a ghost, but there was something else. Every time I'm with him, it feels like I can feel a spark between us. I can relate to how he feels, what's hurting him the most. I completely understand him. But with Rebecca and Alex, sometimes I couldn't. But with Phantom, I could all the time. But why? Why does he seem so human when he's not?

My thoughts were rudely interrupted by my house coming into sight. I then took a deep sigh. I was in no mood to face my Aunt and Uncle. I wanted to just lay in my cozy bed and fall asleep under the covers. I wanted to go off into dreamland where it's peaceful, and full of happiness. Dreamland is sort of like a Heaven to teenagers. Especially to me.

"We're almost there," Phantom informed in a mutter. I have realized that he has been very quiet during the fly home. Was he mad at me or something? If he is, then why was he mad at me? What did I do?

"Phantom," I whispered, but I could tell he heard me from seeing him glance at me. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," he answered, but somehow, I could tell he was lying.

"Are you sure? Because trust me, you can tell me anything," I assured him. He sighed.

"It just that… I could've lost you, you know? The ghost who kidnapped you could kill you with one snap of a finger. And if I lost you, I don't know what I would do," Phantom admitted. "Yeah, I know we just met and all, but it seems I known you forever. I can totally relate to you on how you feel getting bullied, ignored, being called a freak, and kind of have no friends. I get that. I been there." I was shocked on how he answered because that's what I been thinking too.

"I understand. That's the same way I feel about you," I admitted. He looked at me and smiled, and I smiled back. Soon, we reached my house and he dropped me by the front door.

"Okay, here we are," Phantom informed. I let go of him and walk up the porch. I turn around, and look down at him.

"Thanks," I said in a low, sweet voice. He smiled.

"Anytime," he replied. "I'll see you later." But when he was about to fly off, I remembered something.

"Wait!" I shouted. Phantom stopped in his tracks.

"Yes?"

"Where's my backpack and school supplies?" I asked.

"Before I came and got you, I saw your friend, Valerie, carrying your backpack. I think she dropped it off here." Phantom replied. I nodded.

"Okay, thanks. See you soon!" Phantom then started flying away.

"You, too!" he shouted from the sky. I smiled, and went into my house, and shut the door.

"Where have you been, missy?" Aunt Susan asked. I winced. I was in no mood to confront them.

"I been… walking around…" I lied.

"Oh really?" Uncle Fred asked. "Or were you hanging out at Fenton Works again?"

"I was just walking around in the park, I swear! I wasn't at Fenton Works!" I tried to explain to them.

"Oh, then why did your friend Valerie say that you were at Fenton Works?" Aunt Susan questioned. I was shocked. Did Valerie really say that to them? I thought I told her that I wasn't aloud to go there anymore!

"She was lying! I wasn't!" I exclaimed. Aunt Susan's face turned red from the anger I have caused on her. She ran over to me and pushed me on the floor.

"STOP LYING, YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Aunt Susan screamed. She then slapped my face, her nails digging into my skin as she did. I touched my abused cheek and realized that it was bleeding. The blood tickled around my fingertips, and tears stung into my eyes. Aunt Susan's face softened and covered her mouth with her hands. "Sammy, I'm-"

"Get away from me, you monster!" I yelled. I then ran up the stairs, went into my room, and shut the door. It was then that the tears were spilling, and they slid down my cheek. I then went into my bathroom and washed the blood away from my cheek and my hands. When I was finally done, I collapsed onto my bed, on my stomach, crying like a baby into my pillow.

My mother and father would never treat me like this before. Sure, sometimes they would ignore me, and I'd feel like they don't care about me, but I know, they would never, EVER try to abuse me in either way. I know they loved me and only wanted what was best for me, but I wish I could tell them how much I loved them, how much I miss them. But I can't. Because now, they're gone. And I know that they're never coming back.

This only made me cry harder. The thought of them being gone forever made me feel nauseous inside. Everything we been through is being vanished from my memories. Every word I said to them before they had disappeared, made me regret I ever said that so much. Before they disappeared, I had said I hated them, that I was better off without them, and that I wished I had better parents. But now, as I remember that moment, all I feel is regret and guiltiness. I just wish I could take back all the mean things I said that night to them, to let them know I love them. That I didn't mean anything that I had said.

Again, this only made me cry even harder than before. It was then that a cold hand touched my shoulder and I jumped from the position I was in, and was now sitting up. I realized that the cold hand was Phantom, giving me a concerned look. Tears rapidly fell beneath my eyes as I looked at him. He then opened his arms, and I fell into them. He kissed the top of my forehead.

"It's okay, Sam. I'm right here… Shh, it's okay. Everything's alright," Phantom comforted. I sobbed and sobbed into his shoulder. When I finally pulled away, I looked into his eyes and he looked into mine.

All emotions came towards me at that moment. All the love for him expressed it's way out, and I found myself leaning in towards him. I pressed my lips to his, and soon we were kissing. The kiss felt amazing, and so wonderful. The kiss was everything that a girl could possibly dreamed it would be like.

We pulled apart for air. We collided our foreheads together, and we both smiled. Phantom wiped a tear from my cheek, and then pecked my cheek while smiling.

And in that moment, it felt like I couldn't love anything more than Phantom. Phantom was the one, I realized. Phantom's the one I wanted to love.

It feels like I rushed the romance Dx

But it's Danny and Sam. They can't stay "just friends" forever, you know ;)

Anyway, how did you like it? Was it sucky, good, great, awesome, sad, bad, crappy? Tell me what you think (:

So, what will happen? Will Sam and Phantom make their relationship official? Will the ghost come back? And who is that ghost? Find out in Chapter 10! :D
