Hey guys! I'm back, with CHAPPIE 7! Woo hoo! Thanks for the reviews! I love you guys! I've had a lot of stress from school lately. Too many tests! School started like only two months ago! Well, whatever.

Anyways, I don't have much to say other than read and review! Here's chapter 7!

DANNY'S POV:

I just talked to Sam. I don't know how I could talk to her through that golden leaf, but it was a miracle. I feel so relieved that she knows I'm okay. Well, I'm locked in a cage, but at least I'm alive, right? I was about to tell her my feelings, but the damn leaf was cut off! I wish that I could've seen her beautiful face. At least she could see me. I think that she, Jazz, Dash, and Tucker are on the hunt for more clues and leaves.

It's been about five hours since I had talked to Sam, and I was just dying to here her voice! I wanted to talk to my sister and Tucker too. And maybe even Dash, even though he's not exactly friendly with me all of the time, and doesn't know me too well.

I heard a bunch of crashing and loud noises. Curious, I looked up and saw Vlad sneering at me.

"Oh, goody, you're awake. I have some real surprises planned for tonight. Once your powers come back, of course."

'What the hell is that supposed to mean?' I thought.

"How long am I going to be trapped in here?" I demanded.

"As long as I want you to be in there." Vlad replied. He walked away. I looked over at Paulina, who has been asleep for a long time. She didn't even talk to Sam, Jazz, Dash, or Tucker.

"Paulina!" I whispered loudly. She didn't move. I tried poking my hand out of the cage and poking her through her cage, but the bars on her cage shocked me.

"Owww!" I cried out, retreating my hand. Paulina stirred, and blinked, confused.

"Whaaa?" Paulina mumbled.

"Paulina, I talked to Sam, Dash, Tucker, and Jazz!" I exclaimed. She immediately sat up.

"What? How?" She asked.

I told her the story.

"You know, you could've woken me up. I want to talk to Dash." She said in a sassy voice. Jeez, I thought she wasn't like this anymore, but I guess part of it still lived in her.

"I tried, but you didn't get up." I lied.

"What? That's weird." She said. She stretched, and accidentally bumped her arm into the cage bars.

"OW!" She yelled.

"Shhh!" I whispered. But she was too loud. Vlad burst into the room.

"What do you whiny idiots want now?"

"You know, Vlad, you've got us trapped in here, the least you could do is make my cage not electrified!" Paulina demanded. Vlad rolled his eyes.

"Deal with it, princess." He scoffed and walked away.

"Freako." She muttered. I rolled my eyes and lay on the ground. I wanted to see my mom and dad. Maybe if I got out, I could transform into Phantom and escape somehow and save everyone.

"VLAD!" I yelled. It was sort of funny pissing him off, despite the situation.

He ran in, his face menacing.

"WHAT?" He roared.

"I want to see my parents." I told him.

"You saw them like three days ago. Don't be stupid."

"I want to see them NOW!"

"Shut up! Your screaming is killing me!"

"Then let me out."

Vlad huffed and opened the cage with a key. I noticed the key ring had a bunch of keys on it, they were probably for the other cages. If I could get those keys…

"Go on, go talk to them." He shoved me. I mentally grinned. I knew I could turn into Phantom, at least for about thirty seconds.

I ran to the door and opened it. I walked down the cages and saw my mom. She was eating a coconut, staring at the ground.

"Mom!" I said. She looked up.

"Danny!" She stood up and walked over to me.

"I think I can transform into Phantom for about 30 seconds, even though Vlad took my powers."

"That's amazing! Take advantage of that! Use it to steal the keys in his pocket. Turn invisible." She said. I nodded. It was a good plan.

I walked over to Dad, who had lost a lot of weight, considering Vlad gave everyone only one coconut a day.

"Dad, I can turn into Phantom for about thirty seconds. I'm going to use that to get Vlad's keys."

"Good idea, Danny. Be careful, though. Don't let him see you." My dad said. I smiled and looked around. I saw Sam's parents in cages next to each other.

"Um, are you Sam Manson's parents?" I asked them. They quickly nodded.

"I want you to know that she is perfectly okay. And.. I love her." I said. Their eyes widened.

"I-I don't know how to respond to that." Mrs. Manson said.

"Are you two dating?" Mr. Manson asked.

"No, but I want to. If she returns my feelings, then I'm asking now if that's okay. I know it's kinda weird I'm asking you right now, but I just wanted to know."

"Prove yourself worthy once we get out of this mess, and we'll see." Mrs. Manson said.

"I will save all of you." I promised. I quietly got out of the room and looked for Vlad. He was in the corner, fixing something. I snuck over to him as closely as I could, then turned invisible. I reached into his pocket carefully, hoping he wouldn't feel a thing. I felt the keys, and tried taking them out. I slowly pulled back, and the keys were in my hand! I ran to the other door where my parents were and shoved it into my pockets, and turned normal.

"I got the keys!" I exclaimed. I took out the keys and tried fitting random keys in my mom's cage. I couldn't find the right one, but I heard Vlad coming. I shoved the keys in my pocket, just as the door opened.

"I want to go home, Mom." I said, trying to make it sound like we were having a conversation.

"Enough, Daniel." He grabbed my arm and shoved me into my cage.
