Lost For Words

Danny's POV

It's already been a week now and I have been pretty busy looking for Vlad. It seems like every time we come close to finding him, he's already gone leaving a cold trail. Tucker has been busy lately, but insists that today we meet at his house and talk. He told me it was supper important. However, first I need to go to the ghost zone and revisit Clockwork. I know he can't help me, but I need to know if he knows where Vlad is. I headed for my house and headed to the lab. I opened the ghost portal and entered the Ghost Zone.

I immediately headed to Clockwork's place. Once I got there, there was no sign of Clockwork. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw Clockwork on the ground in pain. I quickly helped him up and heard an evil laugh. I knew that laugh to well. I laid Clockwork back down and stood to face my enemy.

"It's nice to see you again Daniel. I heard you were looking for me and now here I am. How's Ms. Manson doing? Well I presume?" He grinned.

"Wouldn't know we're not together Vlad." I replied.

"Oh well it's not like I wasn't excepting that my dear boy."

"What!?"

"Come on Daniel, you can't fool me anymore. I knew your plan from the beginning. I saw your future Daniel. You may not be together, but you still have feelings for her and that's all I need. She plays a vital role in my plans, but I don't need her right now."

"You leave Sam out of this Vlad she has nothing to do with this! This fight is between us so let's keep it that way!"

"Sorry, but you don't call the shots. I do and since I do I don't think you have the right to tell me what to do Daniel. Now if you excuse me I must continue with my plans so good-bye Daniel and good luck."

I was about to fly after him, but he had already disappeared from sight. I went to Clockwork who regained conscious. He got up slowly and led me to the giant clock again. He sighed and looked at me as though he was hiding something.

"Clockwork I can't help, but feel like your hiding something." I spoke.

"There are just something's that you shouldn't know. This universe holds many secrets. All I can say is if you continue this path this world will not benefit from it. You have been warned." He spoke.

I decided to leave at that point. The more I think about Clockworks words, the more worried I begin to feel. Especially now that Vlad has already begun his plans. No matter what though I must protect Sam at all costs. Even though I had to break up with her to keep her safe, I'll have to watch her from a distance. After my trip to the Ghost Zone I headed to Tucker's house. I went into his room to find him on his lap top playing games.

"Hey Tuck" I greeted.

"AH!" Tucker yelled as he fell out of his chair.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare yeah." I said transforming back into my human form.

"God knock next time before you enter my room! Anyway how was your trip to the Ghost Zone."

He sat back down on his computer chair and began to listen to my explanation of everything that had just happened. He sat there in awe and had the same worried face I did. Although his face looked more worried than normal. Half the time I was talking to him he would look at the ground.

"Tuck is there something wrong? You seemed really distracted." I asked and it took Tucker at minute to answer, but when he did my face went into shock.

"Sam might be moving . . ." He spoke.

"She's moving! To where!?" I questioned.

"Well her parents want her to come to Paris and live with them as a family. Sam is actually considering it right now. What are you going to do?"

"Honestly Tucker I'm not sure. I don't want her to leave, but at the same time it might actually be good for her to."

"What!?"

"Think about it with Sam gone Vlad won't be able to take her and kill her! As much as I don't want her to leave, this actually might be good for her."

"But, this is Sam leaving for who knows how long! She might never come back and you might not ever get the chance to tell her the truth about everything. Considering everything maybe you should at least convince her to stay."

I didn't have anything left to say. I called it a day and headed home, but first I thought at least I'd check up on Sam and see how she was doing. I stayed invisible the whole time and when I got to her house I saw a guy in her room. I watched as they laughed and had conversations together which made me a little jealous, since he is flirting with her. I guess it didn't take long for her to get over me after all . . . Sadden by what I saw I decided to fly back home. Could Sam really be over me?

Sam's POV

Andrew for the past week as been a really great friend has really respected my decision of not dating anyone. He's kind and sweet and that's all a girl could ever want in a guy. I remembered how Danny would try so hard to make me happy, even if he made a fool of himself. I laughed at that remark.

"What's so funny?" Andrew asked.

"Oh nothing just remembering something." I replied.

"Is it Danny?"

"Yeah . . ." I sighed and felt sad again.

"You know Sam I'm about to leave pretty soon back to Paris. I was thinking if you made your decision to go to Paris and stay with your parents; I would gladly escort you there. That way we could spend more time together, but as friends."

"Don't get me wrong that sounds perfect, but I'm still not sure if I want to leave here yet. I've lived here all my life and my friends are here. I'm not sure I can part with this place yet . . ."

"There's no rush, but I think living in a place where your ex-boyfriend is the hero of doesn't sound so great. However, as your friend I encourage you to listen to what your heart is telling you."

After that Andrew decided to head home and that we'd talk tomorrow. I went to the bathroom, took a shower, and headed for bed. I know I should listen to my heart, but right now I'm not sure what my heart is telling me to do.
