Chapter 9- Revealed
Phoebe:
Tommy and I ran, as fast as we could with him being a zombie, when we heard yelling. I was scared that a hater, or Pete, had come and tried to start something. When we finally did get there we didn't expect what we saw.
There were three large, buff, men in white suits. They had weird electronic equipment out that looked like something from a sci-fi movie. I spotted Adam and Danny.
"What's…going…on," Tommy asked Danny.
Danny didn't answer. He stayed entirely still, watching the men in suits. Adam sighed,
"He's been like that the whole time since they arrived."
"The Guys in White," Danny said, "….."
I looked at him confused,
"What?"
Adam rolled his eyes,
"Ignore him, he's been repeating that and glaring at them the whole time. They're called the Guys In White-a rip off of Men in black if you ask me."
"Why are they here," I asked.
"According to them," Margi said as she walked up with Karen, "They're searching for ghosts. They stated that they didn't have any rules against zombies- yet. Their words, not mine."
"Ghosts," Tommy asked.
Margi shrugged,
"Weird, I know, but still…that equipment of theirs is weird too. I mean, it keeps going off but they can't figure out where it's coming from."
"So," Tommy asked, "…what do…they want…with ghosts?"
"One mentioned," Karen answered, "….experi-…..-menting…."
I shivered and then looked over at Danny. He kept glaring at them.
"We know you're here, ghost," one agent declared, "come out now before things get rough."
I watched as one agent went back to the van and came out holding a hostage with him. I gasped. He was holding her with these electronically looking gloves. She looked around three years old- how could he do that to a little kid!? She had dark red hair with bright, glowing blue eyes. She had on a black dress and no shoes. There was something off about her though. It sent chills down my spine. I saw Danny glare harder- such expression for a zombie.
"No use in escaping, ghost," the agent that was holding her by her hair said, "you're our bait- afterwards you'll be our tests. These gauntlets are ghost proof- no use struggling."
"Let her go," Danny growled out.
Everyone stared at Danny, especially me and Tommy. Evan looked like he was fidgeting. Danny was a zombie though- they weren't supposed to show emotion…so what was going on? Did he know that girl?
One of the agents narrowed his eyes and held up his device,
"Got you, ghost."
Everyone froze. Was that true…was Danny….a ghost? Was he just faking being a zombie? Were ghosts even real? Everyone was shocked- most people were backing away from fear, some had their jaws dropped, but most people just looked freaked out.
Danny stood up straight and gained a look of confidence that just..was different. His eyes were glaring at the agents. He got into a fighting stance rather quickly…I guessed it all really was an act.
"What the hell," I heard more than one person mutter.
Danny glared at the agents. His eyes glowed a dangerous shade of green for a brief moment before they turned back to blue. His fists lit up with what seemed like green fire.
"You won't hurt that girl."
The agents glared even more.
"Get him," the lead agent demanded and then…it was chaos.
Danny shot the green fire at the agents, but they dodged.
"Is that all you got, ghost?!"
"No, I didn't think you could handle more!"
Danny laughed and I was shocked just to see the Danny I was used to, laugh and have…emotion. I looked over at Tommy- he was still in shock at seeing his best friend doing all of these things. Danny vanished- making us gasp. In a small green mist, he reappeared behind the agents, floating a few feet off the ground.
"Boo," he whispered as he shot them with the green fire. One agent was knocked down and knocked out- K.O..
The other agent shot at him with some futuristic gun. Danny hissed as it hit him. Then, he smirked. His eyes glowed a bright blue as a blue glow surrounded his hands. He landed on the ground with a thud, putting his hands on the ground. The blue glow spread from his hands to the ground, all the way to the agent. The agent cursed as the blue glow rose up on him and then encased him in ice. Danny chuckled at our looks,
"He's still alive, gosh."
Two were down- one to go. Danny floating over slowly to him. The agent looked a bit more unsure since his teammates were already out. He then narrowed his eyes and dropped the girl. She landed with a hard thump and she started to cry. Danny glared dangerously as he shot the agent with a mix of green and blue (Ectoblast mixed with ice powers).
The agent screamed as it hit him. He landed with a hard thud and then was frozen. Danny's expression softened as a white glow surrounded him. He landed on the ground softly near the girl.
"Hey," he said and I noticed his voice echoed. The girl looked up with tears in her eyes- a heartbreaking scene. The ground around her was slowly starting to reddened as the plants died around her. I wondered if that was from Danny or her.
"My name's Danny," he said sweetly, "What's your name?"
"M- my name- I-it- Rosie."
Danny smiled,
"Rosie? That's a pretty name. Where's your parents?"
"Mom-momma," Rosie sniffled, "is- is- dead, and- so-so-is Papa."
I saw many of the girls awe in sadness and cuteness. That poor girl, ghost or not. I was skeptical, but not after that show Danny gave. Danny's eyes saddened. He reached out his hand and Rosie took it as he pulled her up gently and held her,
"Don't worry- you'll be okay."
He carried her in his arms as he looked at us,
"Look, I'm sorry I lied. I am differently biotic…just a different differently biotic…and…if you think it's hard being a zombie- try being a ghost," he chuckled.
