Hey guys! Loving the reviews so far! I'm back, with CHAPPIE 6! Sorta angsty in the last chapter, huh? I'm sorry it's taking a while to update this. I HAD A BIG STUPID MIDTERM IN MATH :(! I saw some of the reviews, and a few said that "Reflections" is a great story. I have been reading it, and it is super amazing! Well, enough about me, it's time for you guys to read! Review too!
Danny's POV:
"Sam." I whispered. I caressed her face gently. She leaned closer to me and hugged me. She smiles lightly, and says, "I love you." I was about to kiss her soft, gentle lips—
"Rise and shine, Daniel!" Vlad sneered. I slowly opened my eyes, and saw the frootloop in front of my cage.
"Sam." My voice from the dream kept repeating. I groggily rubbed my eyes. I was positive that they were bright red. I barely slept that night. My head was throbbing in pain. I was thinking about Jazz, Tucker, Dash, and Sam. Even though I was only missing four about twelve hours, I felt miserable and missed them terribly. I wanted to get everyone out of this miserable place. How am I going to rescue everyone?
"I want to see my friends!" I yelled. I felt anger and frustration build up inside of me. Vlad laughed.
"Stupid Daniel. Do you really think you have time for those idiots now?" Vlad sneered.
"What do you want, Vlad? What are you doing keeping all these people hostage?" I cried out.
"Ah, Daniel. Just wait and see." Vlad laughed and left the room. I looked at Paulina, who was half awake.
"Just two more days, and I have my powers." I whispered to her. She nodded. I looked up at the attic entrance on the roof. I tried turning into Phantom. I saw the white ring around my waist, and about one-third of my body turned into Phantom, but then it turned to normal.
'That's weird. Maybe I'm getting my powers sooner than three days?' I thought.
"You almost turned into Phantom!" Paulina said, with a small smile. I nodded.
"Hopefully, my powers will come back earlier than three days." I replied. Paulina nodded and touched the bars to her cage. Her hand quickly retreated when she felt the shock.
"I'm going to die in here." Paulina muttered. She looked down and a tear fell down her cheek.
"Hey, we will get out of here. I'm going to rescue everyone. I will try my hardest, even if it means taking my life away." I said. Paulina smiled at me.
"I actually believe you can do it." Paulina said. I shook my head with a tiny smile.
"Hope so. I hope everyone believes in me."
"We need a plan."
"What can we possibly do in these cages?"
"I don't know. Maybe I can pretend to be crying over something and whining until Vlad comes here. When you get your powers back, you can Phantom up. When he's looking at me, attack him from behind."
For a girl I thought to be shallow and prissy, that was actually a pretty good plan.
"That's a good plan. However, Vlad will definitely know when I get my powers back. He will do something about it the night before, like put me in a ghost-proof cage. Unless I get my powers early, we can't do much." I replied. Paulina nodded.
I saw against the bars of my cage and stared at the door. My parents were in there, locked up away from each other. I was very happy that they were alive, but seeing them in this condition broke my heart. I felt miserable thinking about it.
I really needed to know how Jazz, Tucker, Sam, and Dash were doing. I was worried Vlad would come to them and do terrible things. I have no idea what's been happening!
"VLAD!" I yelled. I started kicking around and making a lot of noise. "VLAD!" I was being so loud that I myself thought I was annoying.
"Stop it!" I heard a voice yell. I saw Vlad in his ghost form, coming to my cage.
"I WANT TO SEE MY FRIENDS. NOW!" I roared. I gripped the bars of the cages tightly. Vlad rolled his eyes.
"You really care for those stupid people, don't you? Fine, if you stop that ruckus!" He waved his hand and a small screen came up. I saw Jazz and Tucker sitting under a tree. They both looked like they were crying. Tucker put an arm around Jazz and whispered something to her. Jazz let more tears fall. Then, the screen changed. I saw Dash slowly eating a coconut. He looked lonely and bored. What about Sam? The screen changed again, and I saw Sam staring out at the ocean. Her beautiful face was bright red and tear-streaked. I felt my eyes tearing up.
"SAM!" I yelled, as if she could hear me. I felt myself shaking and tears rolled down.
"Why are you doing this?! You're torturing everyone! Just because you live a lonely, sad life, doesn't mean the rest of us have to!" I snarled.
"Is that the way you talk to your father?" Vlad asked calmly.
"You. Are. Not. My. FATHER!" I yelled. It really pissed me off that I was trapped in this cage! I wanted to tear him apart!
"Temper control, child." Vlad sighed. "I honestly don't see why this Sam girl likes you so much." He left the room. I collapsed against the bars of my cage and let out a small cry. I was hopeless. Vlad was going to marry my mother and kill Dad. Jazz and I would probably become slaves and Sam, Tucker, Paulina, Dash, and everyone else would be killed.
"Try transforming into Phantom again." I heard Paulina say. I did as she said. I saw that familiar white ring and my whole body turned into Phantom!
"Yes!" I cried out. Suddenly, I turned back into Fenton.
"NO!" I yelled. I should've gotten out when I could have!
"You're getting your powers back! Try again!" Paulina said. I did so, but this time I only transformed half way.
"I'll try tonight or tomorrow. Maybe my powers need resting?" I pondered out loud. Paulina nodded.
Back with Sam, Dash, Tucker, and Jazz:
"Jazz, I know this seems really bad, but I have a feeling Danny is okay." Tucker said to Jazz, who was crying in his arms.
"He got swallowed by sand! That's no coincidence! Something evil is at this island, and I know it." Jazz said.
"Then we need to find out." Tucker said, determined.
SAM'S POV:
I stared out into the sea. The blue waves crashed on the shore, and water touched my toes. The ocean was as blue as Danny's eyes. Thinking about Danny made me more upset. I'm pretty sure he's dead now, and I didn't even kiss him that one day, or ever tell him my feelings. My head hurt like crazy, and I was sure my eyes were bloodshot. I sighed and let more tears roll down. I traced the wet sand with my toe.
"Danny and Sam." I murmured quietly, as my toe traced Danny's name. How could that sand hole just disappear like that? That was physically impossible! There was something weird going on at this island. All I wanted to do at this moment was get off this stupid island and forget about Danny. I wanted to stop the pain. My heart ached, and I knew I wasn't going to ever forget him. I walked back to the main site, where Jazz and Tucker were sitting. Tucker's arm was around Jazz, and I saw him gently kiss Jazz's cheek just as I walked up to them.
"You okay?" I asked Jazz.
"No." She whispered. I clenched my fists. This was not the way I was! Sam Manson was a tough girl! I needed her back. I can't just be a crybaby little whiny person for life! I needed to fight and stay strong!
"There is NO way Danny could've just disappeared like that in the sand. I know something is up. We have to investigate, instead of being down and crying!" I exclaimed. Jazz quickly nodded.
"I was thinking the same thing. We need to explore this place and find clues." She said.
"We can start tomorrow. We should all get some rest so we're prepared." Tucker said.
"Good idea." We jumped as we heard a familiar voice. Dash walked up to us. We all nodded. Since it was pretty dark, I lay on the soft sand and closed my eyes. Since I hadn't gotten much sleep lately, it felt good. I let myself drift off.
I was walking with Jazz, Tucker, and Dash. We were looking for Danny, or any clues that might lead us to him. For hours and hours, we walked through the jungle. We stopped at one place for a break. I looked up at a tall tree. Something was weird about it. I had a feeling there was something important up there.
"Guys, let's check this out." I said. Jazz, Tucker, and Dash followed me. I looked straight up at the tall tree. I wrapped my arms and legs around it and started shinnying up. My arms and legs started hurting. I had to keep going.
"What are you doing, Sam?" Dash called out.
"Looking for clues!" I called back. I climbed higher and higher. After about ten minutes, I reached the top. I sat down on a branch and took some deep breaths. I looked at the branches and leaves. I found a big, glittering golden was about the size of a football. Curious, I picked it up. A small screen appeared on the leaf. I saw Danny and Paulina in cages.
"We need to get out of here." Danny said. I gasped. Was Danny still alive?
"Vlad took your powers away. I think they're coming back early though. Try transforming." Paulina said. What? Who's Vlad? What powers?
Danny did something, and a white ring formed around his waist. Suddenly, his hair changed from black to white. His eyes turned from ocean blue to a glowing green. His tattered white and red shirt and jeans turned into a black, white, and gray spandex uniform. I gasped. Danny Fenton was Danny Phantom? That was his big secret? He never told me! He turned invisible, but suddenly, he turned back into Fenton.
"It's not working!" Danny cried out in despair.
"Try in about three hours." Paulina said. Danny nodded sadly.
"I want to rescue everyone. I want to get back home. I want my life to go back to normal, as if none of this island stuff happened." Danny said. I felt my eyes water. That meant he wished he never met me!
"What about Sam?" Paulina asked. Danny blushed.
"I want—" The screen cut off.
"No!" I cried out. I held on to the golden leaf. I didn't want to crush it in my pocket, so I held it in between my lips gently, just enough to have a good grip. I slid down the tree, and Tucker ran up to me.
"What's that?" Jazz asked.
"Danny's still alive. This golden leaf just had a screen that played a video. I saw Danny and Paulina locked in cages. Danny mentioned some person named Vlad. Then, he tried transforming into Danny Phantom, but his powers were cut off by this Vlad." I said all in one breath.
"So you know…" Jazz whispered. I nodded.
"Fenton and Phantom. That's his big secret." I said. Jazz nodded.
"He also said he wished everything was back to normal. He said he wished this whole island thing never happened, and I understand that, but that means he wishes he never met me. That means he never liked me at all." I replied. I heard my voice crack.
"That's not true. I know my little brother likes you." Jazz replied. I smiled lightly and shook my head.
"Paulina asked him about me. Danny was about to say something, but then the screen shut off." I said.
"This is a major clue. We should look for more golden leaves, or any odd objects." Jazz said. I nodded, and we walked back to Tucker and Dash. I explained the whole leaf thing to them, well minus the Danny Phantom part.
"Let's look for more leaves, then!" Dash exclaimed.
I gasped, waking up suddenly. I was drenched in sweat. Was this another one of those dreams that told the future? The one on the plane worked. Maybe this one will too? I looked out at the ocean and saw a splash of orange. The sun was rising.
I ran over to Jazz and saw her snuggled in with Tucker. Where they dating now, like in love? Lucky them. I shook them awake and both of them blinked groggily.
"It's sunrise, and I had a dream. I'll explain later. We need to eat, then get going!" I exclaimed. Jazz and Tucker looked at me, totally confused. Then, they realized they were in each others arms.
"Eh.. Sorry." Jazz blushed. Tucker did as well. They quickly got up. I woke up Dash, and we started eating and packing.
"Let's pack water and food." Jazz said. I nodded and got all the things we needed.
"I had this dream about us looking for clues about Danny. I climbed up a tree and found a golden leaf. The leave suddenly had a screen on it. I saw Paulina and Danny locked in cages. I think they're still alive. They want to rescue us and get out." I said all in one breath. I left out the Phantom part, but I was going to talk to Jazz later about it.
"How do we know that it's not just some freaky goth dream?" Dash asked.
"Because I had a dream on that plane flight that it was going to crash and Phantom was going to save us." I stated bluntly. Tucker gasped.
"So, you're like a psychic?" He asked. I shrugged. This was really weird!
"Let's get going and see if Sam is right." Jazz said. I nodded and we walked. I tried to remember everything. We walked and walked, until I saw a tree identical to the one in my dream.
"This one." I said. I started shinnying up the tree. Like the dream, my arms and legs started to hurt. I eventually got to the top. I looked for the golden leaf. I rummaged through all the leaves, and eventually found the golden one. I gasped and picked it up.
Like, the dream, the screen appeared. Danny and Paulina were talking. Danny looked miserable, and I felt a tear drop. The conversation was the same.
"Danny!" I cried out, as if he would hear me. Suddenly, on the screen, he looked confused. It was as if he actually heard me!
"What was that?" Danny asked. I gasped.
"Danny! It's Sam!" I cried out.
"Sam!" He yelled, looking frantically.
"Danny, oh my god! I can't believe it! I'm talking to you! You're okay! You-" I had to stop because I felt like I was about to cry. I'm turning into a little girl! Is this what love does to you?
"Sam, oh my god. I miss you so much! I thought I was going to die without you!" Danny choked out. I could see him shaking a bit, in excitement. Was he..crying?
"Danny! Are you crying?" I choked out, feeling really happy.
"Sam, I miss you so much. I want you here with me so badly. I have… a lot to say." Danny said. I smiled and blushed.
"We're all looking for you. Oh, and I know your Phantom secret." I said. Danny gasped.
"How?" He asked.
"I have psychic dreams. I will explain later. Who's Vlad?" I asked. Danny frowned.
"My biggest enemy. He's got all of our parents trapped in that room over there. He wants to kill everyone and make my mom his wife, and me and Jazz his slaves." He said. Woah, back up!
"What? Our parents are dead?" I said, confused.
"No, they're alive." Danny smiled. I gasped, then grinned.
"Everyone's alive! Oh my god! I can't believe this! Danny, you need to get your ghost powers back quicker than three days!" I exclaimed.
"It's so good hearing your voice again, Sammy." Danny said with a smile. I smiled and blushed, but then realized something.
"Sammy?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Don't call me that!"
"Sammy." He grinned. I smiled at him.
"I need to climb down this tree." I said to him. He nodded.
"Don't drop me!" He warned. I smiled at him and laughed lightly. I put the leaf in between my lips, and slid down.
I put the golden leaf with Danny's video on it.
"JAZZ! TUCKER! DASH!" I yelled, and they all ran over to me.
"I found Danny." I told them, holding the leaf. Jazz gasped.
"Danny?" She called out.
"Jazz! Oh my god!" Danny exclaimed. I smiled at his happy expression. It was so adorable.
"Danny, in my dream, the screen was cut off unexpectedly, so it might happen in reality too, If we don't respond, that means it got cut off." I told him.
"Got it." He replied. I smiled at him.
"Hey, man! I'm glad you're okay!" Tucker exclaimed.
"Hey, Tuck! I have good news and bad news."
"What?"
"Good news is that our parents and everyone form the plane are alive. The bad news is that Vlad, this evil person that I will explain later, is holding us all hostage."
"Where's Paulina?" Dash asked, interrupting us.
"She's asleep." Danny replied.
"Wake her up! I want to talk to her!"
"Paulina, wake up!" Danny exclaimed, shaking her a little bit through the cage bars. She didn't move.
"She won't get up." Danny stated.
"We need to get you out of there! We'll go as fast as we can." Tucker said.
"I wish you were here right now. I wish you could at least see me" I said to Danny.
"Sam, I want to tell you something. I think tha—" Danny got cut off, and the golden leaf had no screen.
"NO!" I yelled. He was about to tell me something important! The leaf shriveled up and turned brown. It crumpled in my hand and fell to the ground. STUPID LEAF!
"We've spent all day searching. I think we should rest now." Tucker said. Jazz nodded.
"It's only sunset, but I guess it's a good idea." Dash replied. I agreed, and we set up a small sleeping area in the jungle. I lay down, and looked at Jazz and Tucker, who were snuggling up against each other. It was a little cold, and I wished Danny were here to keep me warm. Not by running on the shore of the beach, but actually holding me.
'At least he's alive and well.' I thought. I smiled and closed my eyes, nothing in my head except Danny.
Danny, Danny, Danny.
