Chapter 3

Authors note:

Chapter three is finally here! Sorry for the two week delay but I'm trying to just let myself flow with this story instead of having a precise deadline but I promise that I will be no later than two weeks when updating! Anyway Enjoy~

Danny's POV

"What do you mean she isn't here?!" I exclaimed

"Well um I'm sorry Danny but I haven't seen Sam since you two left…"

I glared at the African American woman if there was one person Sam would go to it would be her. This is Angela Foley, Tucker's mother she used to treat us like her children when the accident happened and she was one of Sam biggest confidants.

"I'll ask you again has Sam ever showed her face in amity park over the past two years?" I tried to keep my voice monotone, but I was getting agitated.

Angela squirmed in her seat "No" she squeaked "Danny I'm sorry but I didn't even know she got released"

I groaned and fell onto the chair across from her. This was getting me nowhere and I didn't have time to just stick around, who knows what she's doing now? Heck she could be dead for all I know! Dead… no that's impossible but then again all the evidence is against me I mean, she disappeared without a trace for two years, whenever I ask people about her they frown or get uncomfortable, and it doesn't help that my dark side is after her.

I felt myself go numb. The last person from my past, the last person I want to protect might already be gone. I shook my head. No I will not accept that. Sam may be stubborn and a bit thick headed at times but she's brave and strong there's no way she went out into the world just to die.

"Oh Daniel what are you doing here?"

I rose to my feet and saw that in the doorway was no other than Maurice Foley. I simply nodded my head and said a hasty "yo"

"My, my you've certainly grown since the last time I saw you" his eyes darted across my figure as if I was a painting he wanted to remember. It's true in the last two years I had definitely grown because I was now 6.1 ft. tall and I had gotten a six pack from all the ghost fighting although you couldn't really tell because of my clothes.

"Well what are you doing standing over there? Come here and give me a hug, you rascal."

I smirked slightly and put out my hand "Maurice I'm a man now and men don't hug"

He chuckled and slapped my hand back "if I recall your fathers old saying Fenton men do"

I rolled my eyes and jauntily gave the man a quick hug "what have you been up to since I've been gone Maurice?"

"Well" his eyes darted from side to side "I've been recruited for a journalist gig on a top secret headline!"

I shook my head. It was uncanny how much Tucker takes after his father. Maurice and I had bonded after the accident just like Sam and Angela had. Sadly the two of them weren't allowed to take us in because the government thought that they were somehow responsible for their son's death but that didn't stop them from checking on us every day. Also after the accident Maurice decided to go after a new career in journalism and from what I could tell he loved it.

"Oh top secret huh, how top secret?" he glanced at the T.V remote before quickly picking it up, Angela seemed to pale at his actions.

"This top secret" and with that said he swiftly turned the television onto breaking news.

I silently watched as the news went from place to place showing either destruction or armed forces. All of the destruction was caused by my dark side and he seemed to be going from place to place although there was a pattern to his actions. He destroyed only major cities and after he had destroyed one place he would disappear for a month before repeating the pattern. What is he up to?

"Maurice turn that stuff off! I don't need to be reminded of that every day!" Angela exclaimed as she tried to rip the remote from her husband's hands.

"But Danny hasn't seen her yet!"

"Seen who?" I asked

Maurice stared at the screen for a few minutes "her."

He pointed at the screen which now displayed what looked like a ghost hunter and a skilled one at that. She bared a huge resemblance to Valerie in her red huntress suit except for the colours. Her battle suit was all black except for her eye mask and belt which were a dark purple with a flying platform to match. She was fighting a few ghosts; one of them was one of my old enemies, Ember McLain. She was amazing; she dodged all of the ghost's attacks and landed a few good hits of her own before capturing some of them. I didn't see what she used to contain them but I was too mesmerized to care at the moment. She had one more ghost to go which just so happened to be Ember they fought it out for a while, Ember threw a lot of attacks and insults but the girl remained silent. Eventually the girl blasted at her, broke her guitar and captured her… in a thermos.

My eyes went wide that wasn't any thermos that was the Fenton thermos.

"Isn't she amazing, that's who I'm writing about!" Maurice squealed

"Who is she? What's her name?"

"No one knows" he said spookily "but most people call her Night Rider"

Angela snatched the remote and turned the T.V off "that's enough of that, why don't we all go into the kitchen I made cookies!" she sputtered out

"Right c'mon Danny a Fenton man needs his sweets, and so does a Foley" he ushered me into the kitchen and before long it was nightfall.

"Danny, why don't you stay here tonight?"

I shook my head "Maurice, I have to keep looking"

He groaned "you still haven't told me what you're looking for" Angela paled for the third time this evening.

"I know"

We sat in silence for a moment before he spoke "whatever happened to Sam? I haven't seen her in ages! Have you two gotten hitched yet?"

I rose from my seat "I'll stay here tonight, so goodnight Maurice"

I slowly sauntered away from the two adults and heard a faint "was it something I said?" from Maurice. I unintentionally found myself in Tucker's old room which hadn't changed since the accident. All of Tucker's technology and his personal belongings were still here and still functional. It was painful but I decided to stay in his room for the night if only to be near my best friend again. I hesitantly sat on his bed and instantly a pang of guilt ran through me, I have been trying to forget about all of the people that died for a while. It was mostly for Sam's sake because she needed me, she needed me to be strong so I was but now that she's gone I don't need to have the strength I had before. I put my knees up to my chest and held onto them.

"Tucker… I'm sorry" my voice was shaky "I'm sorry I should've saved you and everyone but… I couldn't and now I have no one and it's all my fault!"

For the first time in three years I put my head on my knees and cried "Tucker w-what am I gonna d-do?" my sobbing grew louder but I knew that no one would hear me.

"I wanna s-see y-you and I w-wanna s-see my f-family b-but your all dead!" after that I couldn't speak through my tears and eventually sleep overtook me.

"Danny?"

Huh who is that? "Who's there?"

"Danny are you okay?" a young girl with black locks and amethyst eyes stood in front of me surrounded by darkness.

"Danny… are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine"

She turned her head to the side "Danny…" she smiled "you'll never be alone, promise!"

"You'll never be alone, Danny…"

I smiled back at her, something made me believe her.

Authors note:

Who can guess who that girl is? It's not an OC so think about it. Looks like you guys know that Danny has some remorse now; I mean seriously I wasn't trying to make him completely move on from his family and friends. Anyway next chapter will most likely be Sam's POV unless I get some good ideas for Danny but yeah that's just a heads up. Plz review because if I don't get reviews than I am more likely to delay… just sayin.

Thanks for reading!
