Chapter 8
~Time Skip~
Years had passed and the trio had grown attached. There wasn't a day that passed where the three friends were ever apart. Except when they departed to their own homes. Sam smiled as she reminisced in one of favorite her past memories:
"Tucker, you gotta be quiet or you'll miss'em!" Danny said. They were all eight years old, with Danny going on to nine. They were currently sneaking behind his house at midnight towards the roof.
"Why are we going to the roof this late?" Tucker asked tiredly, "I could be dreaming of meat...or meatloaf...or meat!" He said. Sam made a look of disgust.
"Is that all you think about?" She asked. Tucker nodded and smiled cheekily.
"And it's all I ever want." He said. Danny looked back at them and shushed them, the two bickering friends stopped and glanced up at him. He was glaring at them and holding his index finger to his lips.
"Quiet or my parents will here us." He whispered. They nodded and followed up to the "opt center" ,as his father liked to call it, and watched silently as he got a step stool and climbed it.
"Danny, what are we going to look at?" Sam asked, trying but unsuccessfully suppressing a yawn. Danny smiled down from the step still at her and grinned. She noticed the moon roof was opened.
"It's a surprise, now come on!" He encouraged. As he climbed up the moon roof Sam and Tucker looked at each other unsure about what to do.
"Ladies first." Tucker said, Sam smirked and bowed gentleman like.
"Then after you Madame." She said. Tucker gave her a pointed look and opened his mouth to speak, but Danny's agitated voice made him close it back up.
"Hurry up guys!" Danny said. Tucker grumbled and began to climb up along with a giggling Sam right behind him.
As they made it to the top, the two friends could only stare in wonder at the billions upon billions of stars that twinkled in the night. Sam gasped in awe and unknowingly began to step onto the roof and marveled at the spectacle. Danny stepped up to his friend and placed a hand on her shoulder causing her to jump.
"It's awesome right?" He asked her. She nodded.
"No kidding," she said, "wow...this is really extraordinary Danny." She gushed. He blushed lightly at how happy she was. He nervously rubbed his hand behind his neck.
"I'm glad you liked it." He said. She turned and smiled at him, Tucker stepped up behind them with a mischievous grin.
"You guys are totally lovebirds." He joked, earning a playful glare from his two friends.
"Whatever Tucker, you're just jealous." Sam said. Tucker blinked.
"Oh and how am I jealous?" He asked with a small jeer. Sam only smiled.
"Look guys!" Danny interrupted them and pointed at the one star that was the brightest out of the rest.
"Wow, that's really bright." Tucker stated. Danny smiled widely and nodded.
"Quick!" He said grabbing each of his friends's hands, "Make a wish!" He said. Sam and Tucker began to stutter.
"Uh well..." Tucker began.
"This is nice and everything but..." Sam began, but one glance at their friend's pouty face made them both sigh and nod.
"Ok." Sam and Tucker said. They all looked up at the twinkling star and closed their eyes.
"Star light," Danny began, "Star bright, the first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might...have the wish I wish tonight." He finished with Sam and Tucker ending along beside him.
The each stayed quiet for a moment or two, the only sound to be heard was the soft breeze floating by and the rustling of the trees. Tucker was the first to open his eyes along with Sam. They continued to stare at their friend in between them and watched his expression.
Danny finally opened his eyes and smiled, "Ready to go back in?" He asked. His friends nodded. They all headed back in, except Sam slowly stopped. As Danny waited for Tucker to go down, he noticed his friend's forlorn expression.
"Sam?" He called softly, she hummed in response, "You coming?" He asked. She nodded and followed, but before she did she opened her mouth.
"What did you wish for?" She asked. He blinked in surprise before walking over to her and smiling.
"I wished for you to be happy." He said, he frowned when he noticed she was going to protest, "I've seen your grief Sam, we're friends, you can tell me anything." He said, he noticed her opening her mouth to speak, but he stopped her, "Tell me when you're ready." He replied. She smiled at him gratefully.
He patted her shoulder gently and descended down the stairs. She watched him disappear into the darkness before looking back up at the bright stars. 'I wish this moment could last forever.' She thought, before she followed her friend back into the safety of his home.
As she ended her memory, her thoughts were destroyed by Vlad barging into her room. She held in her scowl as he smiled at her with that mannerism he always kept up.
"Hey dad." She said. She had been forced to call him that for the time being, only because he said it was more fitting and would draw less attention to them. She sat up straight in her desk chair and turned to face him.
"Good evening Samantha, I suspect you know what tonight is?" He asked. She paled as the date hit her square in the face. She gulped and looked at her "dad". She tensed and shook her head.
"Not today." She pleaded, "That stuff always messes up my head...not to mention my memories." She mumbled. If Vlad heard the last part of her sentence, he didn't make any comment to it. Instead he grabbed her non-to gently by the arm and down to his lab.
"You know the procedure." He said as he went to grab the syringe. With a heavy sigh, Sam lifted herself up onto the lab table and lied down. As Vlad approached with the shot, she took in deep breaths.
"Relax Samantha, it won't last long." He said with a smirk. She closed her eyes and kept in her tears, that's what you said last time...she thought bitterly. She whimpered as the needle went in her and she felt the horrible sting of the green goo that was being injected inside of her. She felt her body turn into putty as she felt herself let go.
"You?!" She said with shock. He stepped out of the shadows with a devious smile in his face. She held the small bundle close to her chest as he stepped closer to her. She glared at him, "You can't scare me!" She hissed. His smile grew.
"Oh don't worry," he said with a dark chuckle, "I'm not here to hurt you." He said. She slowly backed away from him, the bundle in her arms moved slightly and a small whimper could be heard. She smiled down at the bundle and tried to keep it quiet.
She looked up when she heard him laugh. She scowled at him, "Such a lovely child." He said. She clutched the bundle tighter than before.
"Get out." She seethed. He narrowed his eyes.
"Sorry my dear, but I've waited to long for this." He said, her eyes widened as he pulled out a small green filled syringe from behind his back. He smiled sadistically at her before he began to walk to her, "Now my dear, be a good girl and hold still." He said.
"Stay away!" She cried, before she made a mad dash out of the kitchen to the living room. Unfortunately for her, he caught her before she could escape. He held her tightly in his grasp and stared down at her child. He tsked.
"Such a shame she'll never see another day." He whispered into her let out a strangled sob as he suddenly stabbed the syringe into her neck. She fell to the ground with a thud as he held her child, he looked down at it and scowled.
"Now to dispose of-"
"No!" Sam cried as she woke up. Her head buzzed as her she tried to calm her thoughts. She was breathing hard from the horrible dream, that is, if she could even call it that. The dream felt way to realistic to be a dream. She grasped her head lightly and took in deep breaths.
"Stupid shots." She said coldly. She gently lied back down and closed her eyes, but she didn't dare fall asleep, for she feared if she did...she night have another bad dream.
