THE AMETHYST MASK
A Danny Phantom Love Tale

By ItsTheNickster


Chapter 3
SHALLOW ONE


Danny, Sam and Tucker were walking along the corridor, discussing about what happened the last night.

"Don't tell me Danny… You slept with Sam last night!" Tucker said.

"WHAT? No! What made you say that? And why would I sleep with Sam together?" Danny yelled at Tucker, confused and angry at what his best friend just said. "I mean, we're not yet ready for… you know!"

"Yeah, Tuck." Sam pouted. "You are one perverted person. You need a therapist."

"Okay! I'm sorry, guys!" Tucker responded, somehow feeling the guilt for all those things he said. "I just can't help it, you know?"

Danny somehow felt that his friend does need some attention and help. He said, "Well, we can accept your apology, but if you promise to clean your perverted mind and to be a real mature guy."

"I promise that, friend!" Tucker exclaimed. The couple simply smiled. "Oh, gotta go, guys! See you later!" Tucker then quickly ran towards his classroom, so the couple was left in the hallways. "Danny?" Sam said. "Why don't you head first to the room? I'll just take care of some things."

"You sure about that?" Danny asked Sam, not wanting her get into any trouble. Sam responded, "Yeah, Danny. I'll be fine."

"Okay, see you in a minute!" Danny waved his hand to his girlfriend Sam as he ran along the hallways, disappearing after a few moments. As Sam turned around, she noticed a familiar face staring angrily at her. It was Paulina.


Paulina is the leader of the Casper High Cheering Squad, and probably one of the most beautiful faces in the school. Almost every guy in the school wants to date her.

Paulina had a secret crush on the Ghost Boy, Danny Phantom, but had a sort-of-a 'hatred' for his human half, Danny Fenton. After the identity of the Phantom Kid has been uncovered, Paulina tried to date Danny. However, the ghost boy had already sealed his love and commitment to his bestfriend, Sam Manson.

From time to time, Paulina attempted to break up the lovebirds, by setting off pranks and spreading rumors. However, because of the ultimate love and trust of Danny and Sam with each other, Paulina was unsuccessful in her plans.


Paulina despises Sam because Danny chose the Goth Girl over her. Finally over with her rage on the Goth Girl, Paulina confronted Sam.

"Hello there, Goth Freak!" Paulina exclaimed.

Sam frowned. "Uh, excuse me?"

"Yeah! You heard me, freak!" Paulina responded. "Even though I have no idea how, but I know that Danny asked you to the dance."

"Yeah, he did." Sam smirked, to which Paulina groans. "What do you care, anyway, shallow girl?"

Paulina groaned upon hearing the word "shallow", an insult used by the same Goth Girl to her two years ago. "Listen to me carefully, Goth Gal." Paulina looked Sam in the eye and threatened her. "You may be the Ghost Boy's girlfriend, but it doesn't mean that he should always be with you, just like in the dance. You've been with him almost every single day, and I think that's enough."

"WHAT?" Sam exclaimed. "What are you talking about?"

Paulina yelled, "Danny will NOT- TAKE- YOU- TO- THE- DANCE! He will take me! Remember that!"

"What?! And what makes you think that he will let me go?" Sam asked.

"Because," Paulina groaned, "Here!" Paulina pulled out a photo from her bag, and shoved it to Sam. The photo showed Danny kneeled down in front of Paulina, asking her to the dance.

"Wow." Sam scowled. She then sarcastically commented, "What version of Photoshop did you use? 7.0? CS4? CS5?"

Having enough, Paulina slammed Sam into the lockers, her arms locked Sam's neck, making it hard for her to breathe. Paulina looked her evilly and said, "Listen. Either I take him to the dance, or I WILL TAKE BOTH OF YOUR LIVES!"

Sam was horrified at what Paulina just said to her: SHE ACTUALLY WANTS TO KILL HER and DANNY! Horror filled Sam's mind, her heart pumped faster. "Your choice, freak. You have until tomorrow afternoon to call him off."

Paulina let her arms off Sam, to which the Goth Girl drops on the floor and gasps hardly for oxygen. The horror never left her mind. Her 'almost-petrified' body was shivering. Her world seemed to stop, darkness filled the hallways. Sam's vision began darkening; she felt her body hit the floor. Before she passed out, she saw a boy running towards her. "Sam!" The voice echoed softly in her ears. "Sam! Wake up!".

Sam was able to speak softly. "Danny…" Suddenly, her consciousness quickly faded away.


A FEW MOMENTS AGO

"Sam Manson?" Mr. Lancer said. "Where is Ms. Sam Manson?"

"She should already be here ten minutes ago!" Danny whispered to himself. "If anything happens to her…" Very worried about his girlfriend, Danny stood up and asked Mr. Lancer, "Excuse me, Mr. Lancer! Please let me look for her!"

"Okay, Daniel. But make it fast." Mr. Lancer replied. "And make sure you are really going to search for Ms. Manson. If I caught you cutting class, that's detention for a week!"

Danny quickly ran outside the room and searched for every room in the school. As he walked towards the exit of the campus, she saw Sam, laying down the cold floor. "Sam!" Danny yelled as he rushed towards the Goth Girl's frail body. "Sam! Wake up!" The Goth Girl's skin was so cold, shivering from that horror she felt.

"Danny…" He heard his Goth Girl whisper his name, before she passed out.

"Who did this to you?" Danny exclaimed. However, Sam did not let out a response, even just a single blink of an eye. A very worried Danny carried Sam's body and brought her to the nurse's office. Meanwhile, Paulina was lurking behind the classroom windows. Filled with rage and eagerness, she whispered to herself, "Yes, Danny. That would be the last time you will be with that Goth Freak." Her eyes filled with evil, her mind eager to destroy the Goth Girl and conquer the Ghost Boy's heart for herself.
