A/n: hey guys, I know I bet your mad aren't ya. I'm so sorry it's taking me a long time to update. Well better late than never right *throws tomatoes* that was a low blow man. Eh I'll let it go.
So you know the drill I don't own DP or any of its characters I own sage, and Helen and john, even though john plays a minor role in this story I own his ass. Now you guys are probably wondering why the hell this is moving so slow. Well think of the first 6 chapter's as a giant ass prologue. The last chapter is where the real shit begins to start.
Can I get some more reviews this time *throws tomatoes* hey guys so unnecessary
Anyway enough silliness on with the show.
Welcome to
Chapter 8: had me from hello
Previously on running from the grime
Jazz eventually sent sage, the picture of her Danny, and although the Danny I met in the library, is more buff and toned, there was no doubt in my mind that it is the same guy. I don't know how, or why, or even how long but there's one thing for sure, jazz's Danny Fenton is here and he's looking for her.
Jazz: guys, what are we gonna do, I feel like I need to talk to him, but I know I can't.
Jazz: guys we can't live like this, forever you know.
Sage: we've done all we can, it's hopeless.
Jazz: I can't sit here anymore, and do nothing, I gave up everything to be here, with tucker, and I can't let this get in my way,
Vision modeyou see a 3 jars, one labeled, "jasmine's eyes", another labeled "sage's ears", and another labeled "Samantha's voice."You see a sheet of paper that looks like an old birth certificate. All you can make out is the name Manson, and the year 1988. Then you see a bat, being held by a black person's hand, swinging towards the glass, jars and before your vision fades to black, you see a green ghost ray being shot.
A certain raven haired boy was still on hot pursuit to find his sister. Little did he know, all his prayers were about to be answered. For he was at the park, and unbeknownst to both him and the latter, they were about to have family reunion., "hey, long time, no see"Jazz: Danny?Danny: in the flesh.
Danny: what happened to the sister, I grew up with.
Jazz: Helen...
Danny: so that's why, you guys ignore everyone, whoever cared about you.
Jazz: yes, Danny I don't expect you to understand, the reasoning in what me, and tucker did, but you more than anyone, should know the importance of, protecting the ones you love.
Danny: whether I hang out with you or not, im cursed either way, without the ones you love, were all cursed.
(Reaches in pocket gets out a penny and throws it at sam.) Penny for your thoughts (winks at Sam and the walks away)
Jo Ann: the reason you saw tucker, on the stoop this morning, is because after, your sister dumped him, he lost it.
Tucker was a good kid; he was smart, a bit of a slacker, and talked a lot, maybe even an odd ball. He was a good kid though, none the less.
, Jo Ann: look, I'm not sure where tucker is but, if I know him he's at this underground club, where kids go get high, drunk and everything in between he's a regular, there, you mention his name and you're in. it's called the brick.
Danny: how do I get there?
As he walked toward his final destination and slowly prepared himself for his mission.
This time on running from the grime
Danny's pov
Millions of thoughts ran through my mind, as I walked toward the brick. I found out so much, in this one day, and frankly it's scary as hell. I was thinking of all the things, I found out and then boom, I remember the one thing I didn't. The mute girl, the purple eyed mute girl, I didn't find out her name.
I forced myself, to put that disappointing thought, in the back of my mind. I followed Jo Ann's directions, to a tee, and in no time I reached the stairs. This was one of those surreal moments, I mean I had seen him earlier, but this was different.
I had made my decision, and I wasn't about to take no, for an answer. I walked swiftly down the stairs, heart beating so fast; I felt it was going to pop, right out of my chest. For the first time that night, I felt as if I was making, to rash of a decision.
I contemplated the thought, and then mentally kicked myself, even letting it cross my mind. This was my mission, tucker was my best friend and even though I neither owed him nor jazz nothing, they needed me, and I refused to let them, or the nameless girl down. As these thoughts, ran through my head, I finally reached the bottom stair, and sighed
This was it, and I knew it, this was the point of no return, as fate, seemed to prove, this action, in the form a blond, in a letterman's jacket, decided to address me.
Dialogue
The guard turns around as Danny slowly approaches him
Guard: yo kid I need to see some, creed
Danny: I'm uh Danny, and I
dash: yeah and I'm dash, and don't care what your name is, show some creed! (He grabbed Danny by the collar)
Danny: I know tucker Foley
Dash: I'll pound your ass, for each letter of Foley's name, if he says he doesn't know you.
Danny: trust me, he does. (Dash ungrasp his collar)
Dash: hey Foley!
(a disheveled tucker, emerged from the club, with a drunk red head following him)
Tucker: what (notices Danny) oh hey man, come in take hit, (hands out a joint?)
Danny: I'll uh take one, when we get inside. (Tucker and Danny go inside together, and they sit down at the stools.)
Tucker: (turns to the girl) hey babe, go wait for me, over there.
Girl: aww babe!
Tucker: I'll only be, a second. (She nods and walks away still smoking)
Danny: tucker, come on, let's go somewhere and talk.
Tucker: Danny, I'm glad you're hear, man I think I have the perfect hottie, for you. Her names Paulina she's not really my type, but she likes guys who fit your description.
Danny: tuck, I'm not here, for a hook up, or drugs or anything else illegal, I'm here to get my best friend back.
Tucker: well I am here for a hook up, well talk later D, I got a hot red head, over there.
Danny: I didn't want to, do this tuck, (He makes both him and tucker invisible and then changes into Danny phantom, and fly's both of them into, a nearby motel.) But I need my best friend back.
Tucker: Danny what the hell, take me back to the club right now.
Danny: no, tuck this is for, your own good.
Tucker: then I'll go back, on my own.
Danny: good luck, finding it, in your current state.
Tucker: damn it, and damn you
Danny: when you're sober, hopefully you'll listen, to me.
Tucker: so what's next?
Danny: as much, as I hate to say this, were gonna have to phase, into a vacant room, for tonight.
Tucker: we?
Danny: you got anywhere, else to be?
Tucker: no, alright whatever, I need some more scotch, if I'm gonna spend the night, in a shitty motel.(he took another puff of his joint)
Danny: can you put that thing out, man.
Tucker: (blows the smoke in his face) no I'm good.
Danny: this is gonna be one hell of a night.
Danny's pov
Eventually I got tuck to put the joint out, so I could finally phase us, in a room. I couldn't believe, he was so, fucked up now. I guess life had really done a number, on him. I mean I guess, I shouldn't be surprised, Jo Ann did tell me, this is how he spent his time.
I guess I thought maybe, she had misunderstood the situation, or maybe she was just exaggerating, for whatever reason. Now I know, she had the situation, on spot. That night, I didn't sleep a wink. I gave up around three, and just laid there, eyes open and just thinking.
I thought about, how fucked up tuck's life was. I thought about the curse, about my plan of action, for once tuck woke up. These thoughts ran through my head, like running water. Not surprisingly, what I thought about the most, was the nameless girl.
I contemplated her, all the aspects of her. I wondered where'd she live, or who her parents were. What was she like, before the curse? One of my consistent ones though was what did her voice, sound like. Was it calming and sweet, was it low or high, was it quirky or shy.
I mentally kicked myself for each ponders, yet I couldn't stop, thinking about her. It was crazy, it was ludicrous, unreasonable, ridiculous, but yet I still wanted, to think of her more. No matter, how hard I tried, I couldn't stop, these thoughts.
I couldn't act on it though; I didn't even know where to find her. I didn't have her, phone number. She obviously didn't like me, I mean she wouldn't even, inform me of her name. Then there's the fact, that she's jazz's best friend, that's just wrong.
Come to think of it, jazz did date tucker, so maybe I… no what the hell, am I thinking. I don't know her. I could get to know her, by asking her out. There was reason, logic, and the time space continual, all against, me and that girl, being together.
For some reason though, I didn't give a damn, I was drawn to her, and as much as I, try to talk myself out of it, she was drawn to me. My mind is calling me stupid, and my heart is saying, just go for it. So this the part, where I think, what I say, and I do what the hell, I want to do, and right now, I want to, get to know the nameless girl.
Sam's pov
After Danny left the park, thoughts began reeling, through my head. I know it's insane, I don't even know him, plus he's jazz's brother. There are millions of reasons, against the fact that I can even like him, let alone date him. The thing is, I don't give a damn. I mean there's, something about him, maybe it's the fact, that he wants so hard, to protect the ones he loves.
It could be the fact that, we share a lot of the same views, but my biggest theory, is when he got angry, or concerned during our short time together, his eyes flashed green. It was this glowing, luminescent green, identical to the ones, in my dream.
I know it sounds crazy, he can't have two different eye colors, but if you've been through, the sure hell, I been through, than nothing is impossible. I don't know what, but something about him seems, relatable. if I had a life where, I could speak, and not have to hide away from the world, I could ask, him these questions.
I don't though, and I do have to hide, myself away, from the world. Even through all this though, I couldn't help but see, the little ray of hope that those eyes gave me. I guess it was, because all my life, I had this feeling that I was the only one, who carried the burden, of that look in their eyes, but now finally, there's someone who's just as broken as I.
I guess I sound rather mean, huh like I'm happy, we share similar pains. I'm not though; I wouldn't wish this on anyone, not even Paulina, not even my mother. I curse myself, for feeling so week; to still love her after all, she's done. I mentally beg, myself to hate her, to turn her in, to cast a spell on her, to kill her even, but in the end, I'm to week to.
Maybe I never, stopped being Samantha, whoa, what the hell am I thinking. Why the fuck, am I contemplating, this now. All this time, I've been content, I've lived life the best I could, and out of nowhere, this stranger comes, changes all the rules.
How can someone, who you've only, conversed with for less than an hour, at most step in, and make you complete. How can Danny Fenton, Show me a different point of view, a whole new world, make me believe, in hope I never had.
I don't understand it, but I know, every bit of it, is true. It scares me, but yet it comforts me. He enrages me, and yet he, soothes the beast within. Is it possible, for someone to set a flame, inside you, from afar, a flame that hurts, so bad, but feels so good?
Is it possible, no, I'm being irrational, this has just been a weird, day and it's got me thinking, is all? That statement alone confuses me am I stating a fact, or trying to convince, myself. I just lay here in this cold , dark, empty room, and wish I had a voice, to sing, I got to hand it to my mother, the one thing that always made me feel better is singing, and she took that to. At least I have my thoughts, running through my head, …
(a/n: hey I don't own girl on fire, duh it's by Alicia keys, oh and imagine it's just playing in the back ground Sam's not singing it obviously)
She's just a girl, and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, longer like a highway
My misery as lasted as long as I remember
She's living in a world, and it's on fire
Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away
Why can't I escape, my prison, it's all around me, like a fucking fire, trying to burn me to the ground. Why don't I have my wings, to fly why wont the bells, ring for me.
Oh, she got both feet on the ground
and she's burning it down
I try and try, to keep my sanity, but with each passing, moment it's burning to crisp, with no water in sight. Why is this fate?
Oh, she got her head in the clouds
and she's not backing down
I'll push through, I will, I've always worn my mask, in a room full of people, I've always been, all alone. No one else suffers; as I do I'm on fire.
This girl is on fire
this girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire
Each step I take burns, it covers me with scars, in all directions
Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
People will never, know my pain, I refuse to let them, this is my problem, and I wont let the ones I love, burn as well.
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
I want my friends to forget me, why the fuck wont they, I wont let the burn to.
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say
Everyone think I think I'm to good for everyone else, if only they knew, how I'm burning on the inside.
Oh, we got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Now it's not only me, I've been stupid enough, to let the fire spread; now it's us, against the world.
Oh, got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down
we'll all strong enough to give ourselves, false hope, that we will survive
This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire
It's threatening to spread, and I'm still on fire
Everybody stands, as she goes by
Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Everyones afraid of me, they say they see my evilness, why must my fire show.
Watch her when she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
But still I'm all alone and no one knows
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby
I embrace my, fire but it's so loney
This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walking on fire
This girl is on fire
Will I always, be aflame?
Oh, oh, oh...
She's just a girl, and she's on fire
I'm only a girl, but yet I'm already burnt.
Danny's pov
After hours, of mapping out the battle plan, morning was finally approaching. Since tucker, was no doubt in a hang over, I decided a 7am, wakeup call wasn't the best route. I thought of many ways, to get the plan, into action.
I knew the first step, would be waking tuck up, which I knew from years of experience, wasn't the easiest task. First things first, I would have to know, the purpled eyed nameless girls name, and the other one's name. Then of course, we'd have to look in to black magic, along with where they lived, and other things, he was sure tuck would mention.
Suddenly a wave of excitement hit me, as I realized this was going to be similar to the four first months I had my powers, when it was me tuck and jazz, fighting ghost. It was the last time, I was truly happy. I sat up on my bed, and began to open, the little knapsack, I was able to grab, from the rubble, of what once was Fenton works.
It wasn't much, but I dusted off, and saved what could. Most of my things, that I held dear to me, were crushed, including my parents, my most valuable, items in that house. I found my model rocket, I had made from my bare hands, at the age of 12, was surprisingly intact.
By that I mean, it was a recognizable item, which couldn't be said, for the majority of the house, save for my parents. The rocket had a few dents, and was covered in soot, but other than that, it was fine. Then there was bearbert Einstein. It was jazz's favorite bear; I assume she left it behind, in order for us to assume, she had gone unwillingly.
It was in, a surprisingly good condition. It had few loose seems, and it was covered in soot, and brick dust. I grabbed that, as well as my, model rocket. The only other things, that couldn't be classified as totaled, were 2 Fenton thermoses, which were in better condition than jazz's bear, and my tooth brush and tooth paste, which wasn't spared, from soot ,and brick dust either.
I remember digging through, all the soot and ashes, and big block chunks, of what were once my home and the contents inside. That day is so fucking clear, I dream about it, every time I sleep. I remember picking up piece after piece, of unidentifiable items, and saying a silent prayer, to whatever watched over us, each time. I begged that my parents wouldn't share the same fate. Even so, each item I'd turn over, a little piece of my hope, went with it.
So even now, fate decides to mock me, even brushing my teeth, reminds me of that fateful day. After all that thinking, I decided to brush my teeth. I walked to the bathroom, and turned on the sink, as the rusty water, began to flow out of it.
I squeezed the tube of tooth paste, and put it on, and as soon as I placed it, in my mouth I began, to taste the soot, and brick dust. This was bitter reminder, of the origins, of said hygiene item. Still I knew, that it was proper hygiene, to brush ones teeth, so despite the bitter distaste, I keep on, for the alluded time.
After that, I stripped myself, of my clothes and proceeded, to enter the shower, and used the off brand soap, the motel provided. I let the water rain on me, as I tried to ignore, the uncomfortably of the cheap soap. Soon enough I stepped of the shower, and resumed my clothes.
The moment I stepped out, of the bathroom, after collecting all of my, toiletries and I was met by a surprise. There was tucker, alive an awake sitting up on his bed, smoking a cigarette.
(A/n: italics stand for their thoughts, oh and don't think tuck, are outta character, reference how he acted, in what you want, and king tuck.)
Dialogue
Danny: is this how you, always start your mornings. I stated, voice mixed with bitterness, and disappointment.
Tucker: hey, man gimme a break, this how I deal with things, we can't all be as strong, as the mighty Danny phantom. I stated getting annoyed, mostly at the headache I had, than the fact of his statement.
Danny: tuck I know what happened, between you and jazz. I said trying to take a different approach.
Tucker: oh great, it's all over the town, tucker Foley town screw up, can't even keep his own girlfriend. I said between puffs of smoke, and a few bitter chuckles.
Danny: tuck, I know why she left, why people say; her and her friends are witches. I told him, hoping to turn the conversation around.
Tucker: well I'll be god damned, how the hell did you find out, those three girls, haven't talked to any but themselves, since Halloween night 2 years ago, and no one else knows why. I said in disbelief, and excitement and I knew this better, be a damn good excuse.
Danny: you know the two sisters, who she hangs out with, there mother Helen, wanted to curse the one, with those amethyst eyes. Apparently the curse was supposed to make, her blind, deaf ,and mute. Before the spell could be completed, jazz and the other girl opened the door, and the spell was messed up. Instead of them, just going back to normal, they each got a piece. Jazz lost her sight and, the other the amethyst eyed, girl lost her voice, and the other one lost her hearing.
They figure in theory that the reason, the curse was shared with them is because they cared for her, so they're afraid if they hang around anyone who cares for them, will get cursed to. I said all in one breathe eager to share the news.
Tucker: a look of bewilderment, crossed my features, I'm sure. For a moment, I didn't answer. I was shell shocked, I remembered that night. The events of the evening, danced through my mind, then it hit me, the singing the beautiful, singing. Jazz and sage, excused themselves, from the table.
It all made since, that's why jazz would look me in the eyes, that's why they cut themselves off, that's why neither Sam, nor sage said a word that was it. Finally the mystery was solved. I realized I had been staring into space and spoke up.
It all makes since now, never doubt your persistence.
Danny: I came to the brick, for reason tuck I started before, I was cut off.
Tucker: I already know man, I agree, I think we should rekindle our best friendship. I stated happy, still puffing on my cigarette.
Danny: there's that and, there's were gonna get our girls, I uh I mean your girl, my uh sister back. I lied trying to cover up, my slip while, rubbing the back of my neck.
Tucker: you don't, fool me Danny, you like Sam. I said matter of factly I was finally feeling, like a big piece of me, was back.
Danny: what, who I said in confusion, hoping he was referring to, the raven haired Goth girl.
Tucker: the amethyst eyed girl I said as I imitated him
Danny: was I that obvious I wondered
Tucker: yes, it's who you are man. As the conversation continued, we were immersed, in old times. I began to think I guess it's true, what they say, that "being friends, isn't about being inseparable but being separate, and acting as it no time had passed"
I'm proud to say, that I and Danny, have passed the greatest test, time.
After a while, we knew the fun had to end, and Danny began to explain, to me his idea's to cure the girls.
Danny: so that's what, I've come up with, you got anything. I said puffing on a cigarette; I had given in to smoke, about an hour ago. Tucker's a persuasive, little bastard.
Tucker: I took out my pda, and began listing off his ideas. well; so far we have, look into black magic. I said, emphasizing the fact, he negated to list anything else. I think we should add, birth records, Helen's legal record, possible partners, in crime Helen could have, stuff like that.
Danny: okay, good stuff tuck, but why birth records allergies. I was really curios about this.
Tucker: simple, Sam she's a reader and tends to talk about the stuff she reads, one of the stories that I remember was the Salem witch trials. Apparently the reactions, the law though were spell were actually reactions to spoiled bread.
So maybe, Helen wants us to think, she cast a spell, when she really put something they're allergic to, in their food. I said surprised, I actually remember that from, what felt like, so long ago.
Danny: so then, why aren't you sick, you ate the food to right? Plus there's more to the curse than there lost, they also gained something, this is definably, supernatural. I said laying down the law
Tucker: I don't think anyone, can just say these spells, and get them to work. Maybe Sam's dad, was a witch, maybe Helen, had help from him. Better yet what if Sam's a witch, maybe she can undo the spell, and it won't hurt, to look at their medical records. I stated rather proud.
Danny: alright fine, I guess it couldn't hurt. I said have I sighed, in defeat taking another puff, of my cigarette. I guess we better start moving, the sooner we get outta her, the better. I told him sternly.
Tucker: where to, I asked with a smirk, assuming he wouldn't know.
Danny: you know where they live, I said with a glint, in my eyes.
Tucker: who, the Dawson's I asked shocked
Danny: no, the Addams family, I deadpanned.
Tucker: you get me in the air, and I'll show you, the way. I said putting out, my cigarette as I watched Danny, follow suit, and I picked up, and my trusty bat.
Danny grabbed his belonging and picked me up and flew us through the roof, I led him right to the damsons, and we land toward, the back side of the house, where Sam's tiny little window, was shone.
Danny: you positive, this is her window, tuck. I told him, cause it was gonna be real embarrassing, if it wasn't.
Tucker: I'm sure I said surely
Danny: wish me luck, I said has I sighed, and picked up several stones. I soon began to throw them one by one, into the window. Soon enough, she appeared, with a scowl, until she noticed it was me. So, I'm sure you thought, a lot with your penny. She smiled, as I wondered what her voice, sounded like. Juliet comes down, she tried to send me, hand motions telling me, and she had no ladder.
Do you trust me Sam, I said as she turned, to hide her blush. Then she gave me, the "why" signal. I'll catch you; she then gave me, and is you crazy look. Please, you deserve, to have some fun. I want to get, to know you. I was expecting rejection, I mean why she would, want to go out with me.
Then I was shocked as she waved her hands, out in front of me, to let me know, she was about to jump. I put my arms out, and everything happened in slow motion, soon enough she was there in my arms bridal style. I'm glad you decided, be a willing kidnapee. I joked as, I put her down, and she made a silent laugh.
I gave tuck a "beat it" look, and he got the picture, I knew where to find him.
Right now, I was going to show her, how to be happy.
I know exactly what you're thinking, I whisper to her softly
(A/n: Sam's way of speaking is underlined italics are still thoughts from both Sam and Danny)
Sam: impossible I said even though, I took that word from my, vocabulary long ago
Danny: your thinking, why you, why do have to be in a room, full of people and be all alone. What have you done, to have no one completely, understand you. But standing here, you ready to see, the things you've been deprived of…
Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do it that way
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why does he do me that way
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why does he do me that way
I like livin' this way
I like lovin' this way
(That way) Why why
(That way) Why why
Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why does he do me that way
Sam: what are you hiding, you obviously know exactly how I feel
Danny: I do, I guess it's cause, I've never really known, exactly who I was, and just when I was ,about to find out…
Sam: fate steps in. a turns everything to shit
Danny: exactly, I have this feeling, like I was supposed to know you, I sound like an idiot huh
Sam: no, not at all, why do your glow green?
Danny: you'd think I'm a freak, if I told you.
Sam: I've been, hurt caged, all my life, I could never, call anyone a freak, tell me
Danny: I'm a uh, have you heard of danny phantom.
Sam: yes, people, say he's trying get attention, but he helps people, I see beyond what other do.
Danny: (tranforms into danny phantom) don't run, please.
Sam: how
Danny: a lab accident, made me half ghost.
Sam: you are from my dreams, oh i
Danny: you uh dream about me,
Sam: all I see is these eyes, these glowing green eyes, and they make me have hope.
Danny: you can trust me, I know this is crazy we just met, but I feel like every moment, I'm away from you I think of you, is it possible to fall in love at hello.
Sam: normally I'd say you're crazy, but I feel the exact same way, like somehow, I've know you all my life
Danny: I will break your curse I promise
Sam: please, don't promise, I can't let you make a commitment like that.
Danny: it's too late, you had me at hello. Can I kiss you?
Sam: yes (he kisses her) I guess it's just human nature.
Danny: maybe it's a force of nature pulling us together
Mission 1: get the girl complete; with each passing moment, the more and more, I think this is the girl from Paul's prediction.
