Chapter 32

SAM'S POV

Danny didn't meet me and Tucker at school first thing in the morning so we just figured he was hunting down a ghost or something so we went on without him. That hadn't been the first time it had happened.

He didn't show up until the end of first period, but to my complete surprise (and Tucker's too) Cari was with him. "Aren't you supposed to be in like, the hospital" I whispered loudly.

"Well ya but no, Danny helped me sort everything out so it's all good now." Cari said with a smile. I'd missed that smile. "Plus I really wanted to come to school. I guess I just want everything to go back to normal."

"I can make you a schedule so your day can be as normal is possible." Tucker joked. Cari just made a face at him. She seemed in really high spirits.

We talked all of the way to second period about random stuff, but once we entered the classroom multiple gasps could be heard. I guessed that some people hadn't even know she had been found. And for some reason Paulina decided to take it upon herself it welcome her back

"OMG Cari we all missed you sooo much. I'm so happy your back" I pulled my hands into fists.

"Hey Sam calm down." Cari said as she turned to face Paulina. "Okay let's cut to the chase what do you want?"

Paulina acted all offended "I just wanted to welcome you back and everything."

"Well I don't need it thank you very much." she then turned her back on her. Paulina scowled then stomped away angrily.

"Well someone isn't bitter." Tucker said sarcastically. Cari gave a hint of a smile. Danny laughed then let out a small gasp. When he can Cari made eye contact I knew it was time to jump into action.

"I'll cover for you." Tucker said just before both of them took off.

CARI'S POV

Danny and I ran into the hall and transformed into our ghost forms. Then we flew through the roof. Luckily it was only a rogue lion ghost. On the down side we could see Danny's parents running down the street with some new ghost catching equipment.

"We had better get this over with now before your parents get here." I yelled at him. "I'll attack if you get the thermos"

"Sounds good." he yelled back.

I flew towards the lion and began to shoot at it. 'Hit Jack' the voice whispered in my head. I almost came to a dead stop "Wait. What? No!" I yelled inside my head.

'Hit Jack' I could almost hear the anger in the voice now. "No!" I said this time out loud. But before I could do anything else my arm moved of its own accord and aimed at Danny's dad. I tried to pull it away with my other arm but a ball of flames shot out of my hand and just missed Danny's dad. Luckily Danny hadn't noticed since he was sucking up the ghost wolf. So I took that opportunity to leave before things got worse.

'No go back' the voice demanded. "You can't make me" a said with a bitter tone. 'Don't you test me' I felt my legs trying to pull me the other way. I used all of my strength to keep myself going where I wanted to go.

I was now very convinced that whatever this was it was Vlad's doing. Danny had mentioned how Vlad had a thing against his Dad but I didn't know he hated him so much he wanted him dead. Other than that small detail he was gonna use me to kill him! I have to tell Danny, but how would I go about that. I couldn't just go up to him and say "oh hey Danny the voice inside me head is trying to make me kill your Dad." So I would just have to keep as far away from Mr. Fenton and do my best to ya know keep control of my own body.

I heard Danny land quietly behind me. "Hey why'd you run off?"

"Uh no reason I just don't want your Mom targeting me. I kinda value my life." hey I came up with a good excuse, go me.

"Oh ya. Well we had better get back. I'm sure you don't wanna miss anymore school."
