Cupid's Wrath

Chapter 14: Kidnapping and Teaming up

Dani Phantom was flying high in the skies of Amity Park and was on her way to Casper High to talk to her brother. It was lunch time but she couldn't eat, she couldn't stop thinking about her big brother and the disaster his Valentine's day apparently was.

"I don't care what Jazz says, I'm gonna talk to him now…."She thought firmly, still recalling the disaster breakfast they all had this this morning.

She and Jazz kept trying to get Danny to open up and tell them what happened, only for his to blow up at them before storming off to school in a huff. Jazz told her to give him space and talk to him again later.

Well, it was "later" right now, wasn't it?

She could still remember the loud conversation they had this morning.


Flashback

During breakfast

It was an average breakfast for the remaining members of the Fenton Household, their parents were still out on their romantic get-away to Lake Earie and wouldn't be back till tomorrow, leaving Jazz in charge of cooking.

However it was a rather awkward breakfast to say the least, Danny and Jazz weren't speaking to each other and Dani didn't like the tension between her older siblings. Last night she came home after losing track of Danny with Ember, though she figured nothing big would happened after seeing Ember acting like she liked him.

However once she was home, she was proven wrong.

She returned home to see Jazz and Danny in a heated argument and Danny storming to his room in a huff, however they didn't realize she was there since she was invisible and too shock to believe what was happening.

Apparently Danny didn't take the news of Tucker and Jazz dating very well, however Dani was surprised on how badly he reacted, she would have expected shock and maybe some annoyance for not telling him sooner but he looked truly angry.

It just wasn't like him at all. However like her sister, Dani knew there had to be more to the story….but Danny wasn't talking.

So she was going to make him talk.

"So Danny….you feeling okay?..."Dani asked carefully and was met with silence from her unusually brooding big brother.

"She asked you a question..."Jazz said with her arms crossed, not liking the silent treatment he was giving the both of them.

Maybe she deserved some of it for what happened last night, but Danielle had nothing to do with it. Danny however just kept chewing and taking a sip of his orange juice, like the other two weren't even there.

Dani honestly couldn't take it anymore, these last few weeks he's been down but now he was much worse than before...It was scaring her.

"Danny! Please, you're really freaking me out...Can you just tell us what happened last night...'Dani pleaded to her big brother who shifted uncomfortably.

"There's nothing to say….'He finally said to them, before going back to his silent act.

"What does that even mean?..."Jazz asked once more to her brother.

"What is this? Twenty questions?!..."Danny snapped, shocking the red haired girl in the process.

"Danny..."Dani thought in disbelief with his attitude.

Even after the big breakup with Sam, while Danny moped around, he never flat out yelled at them before.

"You haven't even answered the first question!..."Dani snapped back at the agitated boy. Danny merely gave them an irritated look and soon left the kitchen.

"Where the heck are you going?!..."Dani demanded.

"To school, where else..."He snapped back.

"Not until you tell us why you're acting like a major jerk...'Dani shouted, almost ready to turn into her ghost half if he keeps being so difficult.

"You wanna know why...You wanna know why I'm so miserable right now, huh! Last night wasn't real and apparently I can't trust my own friend and sister to be straight with me!...'He shouted before turning into his ghost half and flying through the roof.

Dani merely stood there in shock, along with Jazz who merely shook her head.

"What did he meant by "last night wasn't real"?..."Dani asked to Jazz.

"I'm not sure but it confirms that something happened between him and Ember during their date….something bad..."Jazz said as she stared clearing the table.

Dani merely looked up to where her brother flew off in such anger. She couldn't believe it.

Last night she spied….I mean….observed him with Ember and they looked like they were having a great time until she lost them...What on earth could have happened during that time?

"Don't take it personal, he's just angry and being stubborn, after school we'll try talking to him again..."Jazz offered to her little sister who wasn't paying attention anymore.

"I don't know what happened, but I'm going to find out...'She thought in determination.

She was going to help her brother through his own grief, whether he liked it or not.

End of Flashback


That was why Dani was on her way to Casper High right now.

It was lunch time and she knew her brother was likely hiding from his fans on the roof or behind the gym. She was going to get a straight answer out of him one way or the other...Only then would she be able to help him and maybe knock some sense into him as well.

She saw her destination coming up in view and she flew over the roof...only to stop in shock at what she saw...It was two unconscious figures lying on there.

"What the-? Oh my gosh!..."She shouted as she landed and tended to them, she recognized them as Sam and her brother's date Ember Mclain.

What was she doing here? And where was Danny?

Not wasting anytime, Dani checked on Sam and was glad she still had a pulse, that she was just knocked out, though it looked like she was roughed up a bit and Ember looked no better.

"Come on...Come on...Wake up..."Dani said as she tried everything to wake them up, even slapping them at one point.

She smiled when she saw them beginning to stir a bit, signaling their return to consciousness.

"Ugh...My head..."Sam groaned as she hissed a bit from the pain.

"What hit me?..."Ember muttered a bit, still in some grogginess.

"That's something I should be asking you guys...'Dani said with her arms crossed.

"D-Dani, when did you get here?..."Sam asked in a still dazed voice.

"Just now...What exactly happened here?...'Dani asked to the older girls who suddenly looked alarmed.

"PAULINA!..."They both exclaimed loudly, startling the little ghost girl in the process.

"W-What about Paulina?...'Dani asked and was surprised to see both girls look furious at the thought of her brother's most annoying fan girl.

"I can't believe that little bitch did that…."Sam hissed, feeling angry over what just happened.

"I can't believe I let her pull a fast one on me!...'Ember yelled angrily, feeling angry and humiliated she let a stupid bitch beat her.

"When I get my hands on her…."Ember growled, feeling all sorts of anger right now.

"What are you two talking about? What did Paulina do? And where's my brother?..."Dani asked, only for both girls to look worse.

"Paulina attacked us and kidnapped Danny!..."Ember exclaimed, shocking Danielle.

"What?!..."She yelped in shock, she knew Paulina was a pest but she never imagine she would try kidnapping and succeeding at that.

"How? Why? W-What happened?..."Dani demanded, feeling worried for her big brother's safety.

Both girls explained to the littlest halfa the previous events, that Ember came to warn Danny about an impending doom and Paulina ambushed them and trapped Danny in a thermos.

"I can't believe this!...'Dani exclaimed. She couldn't believe that her own brother just got kidnapped by an obsessive madwoman and was no where to be found.

"What I still don't get is how she got her hands on Fenton Work weapons in the first place!..."Sam said only for Dani to suddenly realize something.

"It was her!..."She shouted.

"What?..."Ember asked to the white haired ghost girl.

"This morning me and Jazz were doing some cleaning and we noticed some stuff was missing, Paulina must have somehow stole it..."Dani filled in, feeling angry and violated that her home was basically robbed.

"I knew Paulina was a bitch but this is an all time low! I can't believe she resorted to stealing, breaking and entering and kidnapping!..."Sam growled.

"I just can't believe she would up and just capture Danny out in the blue….I know she's a crazy fan girl but I can't believe she's deluded enough not to see what's in front of her...'Dani said.

"Believe it! Paulina's delusional and living in fairytale land! She even flat out said that Danny didn't even have a choice in being with her…."Sam shouted.

"What did she mean by that?...'Dani asked to the goth girl.

"Who knows! It's probably just her being her usual, bratty, obsessive self...'Sam said harshly.

Ember however had different thoughts….She was still surprised Paulina would act so impulsively, and she still recalled her last words That she had a "date with destiny"...obsessed or not, she seemed confident that she could get Danny to fall in love her anyway.

But why?

Suddenly Ember thought of something, but she thought it was a bit farfetched.

"Could it be? Was it her?...'Ember thought to herself but she couldn't afford to jump to conclusions now.

"Hey..uh...Danielle...'Ember asked the younger ghoul who turned to her.

"You said it was this morning you noticed that stuff was missing?..."Ember asked and flinched when Dani nodded.

"But you saw them, like yesterday, am I right?..."She asked and flinched when she saw another nod.

"Oh man...Oh man...Oh man!..."Ember said in a panic as all the pieces were starting to fall in place.

"W-What?..."Dani asked to the ghostly pop princess who gave her a distress look.

"She has the arrows!...'Ember exclaimed.

"What?..."Sam said in shock.

"Cupid was kidnapped last night and Paulina has Fenton weapons and seemed so confident that she could make Danny love her….Call me crazy but I think there is a connection..."Ember explained to the goth who suddenly look more pale than usual.

"T-There is just no way….Paulina might be a bitch but do you really think she's capable of kidnapping the spirit of love?...'Sam asked to the ghostly idol.

"She managed to knock both of us out and capture Danny, I wouldn't put it past her..."Ember said seriously.

"Oh no...On my gosh….We gotta stop her...'Sam said feeling all kinds of worry for her ex boyfriend and best friend.

She might have hated Paulina, but the school princess made it no secret her "feelings" for the ghostly boy, even before the big discovery, Sam was unfortunate enough to hear some of Paulina's more vulgar comments about her friend and her desire's for him.

Sam knew Danny was in very real trouble if Paulina managed to strike him with one of those arrows.

"We got to stop her..."She said to Dani who still looked anxious.

"Yeah, no kidding...but we have to find them..."Ember said firmly surprising both girls.

"Wait...What do you mean "we"? You mean you're going to help us?..."Sam asked in disbelief.

It was one thing for Ember to give them a warning but now she was actively offering to help rescue Danny….

Ember blinked in surprised, but realized they were probably still wary of her...and to be honest, she was a little surprised herself for even offering.

She was basically offering to help save the one she once called an enemy for no benefit for herself….Maybe it seemed a bit much but...but...but she couldn't stand the thought of Paulina completely controlling Danny and forcing him into loving her.

"Yeah..."Was all the ghostly diva said, not daring to look at the goth who was still eying her.

"Why?..."Sam asked in a suspicious tone, no matter what, Ember was a ghost she and Danny fought many times and she was known to be very tricky.

Why would she offer to help them out?

"Look, I don't know why but Clockwork told me that apparently only I have the power to save him or something..."Ember told them with her arms crossed.

"What? What do you mean by "power"?..."Sam asked and Dani looked equally confused.

"I don't know alright...He didn't elaborate but we won't accomplish anything just standing here and chatting, we have a crazy bitch to stop and save the guy we both-…."Ember suddenly stopped talking and looked like she was surprised as well.

"What? "The guy we both"...What?..."Sam thought in confusion. Sam only stared at her in disbelief, technically Ember was the enemy...but if Clockwork said that she could hep save Danny…..And it almost seemed like she wanted to help save him.

"Could she actually..."Sam thought in disbelief, was it possible that...that Ember grew to care for Danny as well….Could it be that she likes him now?

Sighing, like it or not, she knew that she and Dani needed all the help they could get for this fight, Paulina just managed to surprise them and capture two powerful ghosts all on her own.

She was trouble and there only hope to save Danny was to work together.

"Alright...I guess we don't have a choice but I still don't trust you Ember..."Sam said with her arms crossed.

"You guys don't have to trust me...Just fight with me...'She said before extending her hand to the goth.

Sam could only stare for a moment, before smiling and taking the ghosts hand in a quick shake.

There was no turning back now


Paulina was in a very happy mood as she drove her expensive pink car far away from Casper High and smiled at the little cylindrical device in her cup holder. Inside held her most precious treasure and after today he would finally be all hers.

"I gotta take Danny some place where we can be alone, I can't risk that goth bitch and that ghost whore finding us and ruining everything..."Paulina thought as she brainstormed alternatives.

She was originally going to get Danny when he was all alone but she saw him with the goth and that has-been singer and she felt so much anger at the sight of it...even worse when Ember was starting to tell them about the arrows.

She had no choice but act then and there. Whether he liked it or not, Danny was hers.

She had all she needed, her prisoner that was safely locked in her room, her precious arrows that were safely in her trunk and her beloved that was safely inside the Fenton Thermos.

All that was left was to find a safe hiding spot.

"I can't go back home, that's the first place they would look for me...I need to find someplace they wouldn't think to look for me..."She thought, trying to think of another hiding place.

Suddenly, she recalled that her daddy made an an awesome mountain chalet for her at Mount Amity, just a few months ago and it was just 30 miles outside the city. She remembered throwing a huge bash to "break the new place in" just a few months back and she hasn't been there since.

It would be perfect! It was large, far away from Amity Park and she knew the goth and the ghost wouldn't be able to find them there. It was the perfect hiding spot for her and her beloved to...accept their fate together.

"I can't believe all they made me do today...but it will be worth it..."She thought to herself before letting out a tired sigh.

All she wanted was to be happy with her one true love and start their happy life together, was that really so much to ask?

Shaking her head, she stepped on it and was soon on her way to Mount Amity, feeling more determined than ever with her prize and her fate with her beloved was literally in her clutches.


Back in Amity Park, Sam, Ember and Dani were flying as they tried to find Paulina and get Danny back. Danielle was carrying Sam while Ember was flying close by.

"We have to find that bitch and get Danny back...Do you guys have any idea where she could have gone? I don't think she would go straight home..."Ember said to her temporary partners.

"That's the last place she would go...Knowing her, she's probably already out of the city as we know it...'Sam said in frustration, feeling more and more concerned for her friend.

She didn't want to think about all the foul things that crazy bitch would do to him if she managed to strike him with one of those dammed arrows.

"This isn't helping at all...Sam, you and Paulina go to class together, do you think you have any idea where she might have gone?..."Dani asked to the goth she was carrying.

"No..."Sam said in frustration, feeling upset of all the times she filtered out Paulina's bragging about herself.

However, she recalled a half-forgotten memory...as in something she chose to forget but was now very useful to her.

"W-Wait...I..I remember one time my parents came home from the country club...I remember them telling me that Paulina's dad gave her some fancy chalet as a gift just a few months back and I remember Paulina bragging about it for three weeks straight…."Sam said, trying hard to recall those details.

"A chalet?...Where?...'Ember demanded.

"I'm thinking...I...I think it was suppose to be at...at Mount Amity…."Sam said unsure.

"You think?!..."Ember shouted.

"I'm sorry but I usually try not to think about anything that has to do with that pink parasite!...'Sam snapped back.

"Will you two quit it!…" Dani shouted at both girls who were still finding it hard to work peacefully.

"When did I become the mature one?...'Dani thought sarcastically before turning back to Sam.

"Are you sure it's at Mount Amity?..."Dani asked to Sam who nodded.

"Positive, I remember that Paulina said it's suppose to have "an amazing view" of a lake..."She said in a sarcastic voice.

"It's our only lead, I guess..."Ember said, feeling more optimistic that they finally had a place to go.

"To Mount Amity..."Dani exclaimed before flying even faster, with Ember in tow.

"Don't worry Danny...We're coming..."All three girls thought in sync as they flew to their destination to save him.


Elsewhere

Unknown location

Danny groaned and was stirring a bit as he regained consciousness.

"Uh….What happened?..."He muttered as he tried to get up, only to see his hands and feet were all tied up. Now fully awake, he saw that he was in what looked to be a hotel room and he was tied to a bed.

"What the hell?..."He thought in confusion, wasting no time, he tried to go intangible only to see his powers had no effect.

"What the-?!...'He said as he soon realized he was tied with the Fenton Ghost Fisher.

He tried once more, struggling against the bidding for all his worth but nothing! Soon memories flooded back and he remembered what happened. He was talking to Ember and Sam about some oncoming danger and then Paulina sucked him inside a thermos.

He couldn't believe that he let himself get caught so easily...and how did she even get it in the first place?

"Oh...I see you finally woke up, darling..."Danny looked to see Paulina casually walk toward him, wearing a confident grin on her face.

"Don't call me that! Let me go Paulina..."He demanded but the demented girl still looked unfazed.

"Now darling, I don't approve of that tone..."She said wagging her finger at him like he was some child.

"I'm serious Paulina! Let me go now and just maybe I won't bring this to the cops!..."He shouted at her.

"You look so cute when you try and sound tough..."Paulina giggled a bit, though Danny could see the smugness in her eyes.

He had a really bad feeling about this.

"I said let me go! And what did you do to Sam and Ember?!...'He demanded and noticed her smile dropped at the mention of those names.

"That's not important..."Paulina said harshly.

"What did you do to them?! Did you hurt them!? And why did you kidnap me?!...'Danny shouted at her.

"I said forget about them Danny! You and I are finally together and I didn't kidnap you! I saved you! I'm not going to let Manson or Ember steal you away from me again..."Paulina said possessively.

"I am not your property Paulina! Let me go!…." Danny yelled as he tried to free himself once more, with no success.

However he heard Paulina out a chuckle, as if he said a joke, but Danny grew more uneasy at her laughter. Once she calmed down, Paulina was staring directly into his eyes.

"Oh Danny...Stop fighting it….You spent all of freshman year wishing to be with me...and now today I will make that wish come true..."Paulina said happily, only for Danny's left eye to twitch a bit.

"Freshman year was two years ago Paulina! Thing change! I changed! I don't like you anymore! If anything, I hate you for what you just did and for harassing me for almost 6 months straight! Released me now!...He shouted, fed up with all the shit she's put him through these last few months, all in the name of her so called "love" for him.

"Oh don't worry, I will...only after you accept your love for me..."Paulina said with a crazy look in her eyes and Danny suddenly realized she was now on top of him, and was straddling him.

"I'll never love you Paulina! And get off me!..."He demanded, not liking this one bit.

"Oh, Danny...Danny...Danny….You'll love me...Be sure of that…."Paulina said as she leaned in for a kiss.

"Don't you dare!…."Danny said as he tried to move his head away from her, only for Paulina to grab him and keep him in place.

Paulina just giggled and soon started kissing him all over his face, enjoying the actions very much. Paulina savored the feelings she was experience kissing his lips, cheeks, neck and forehead repetitively and feeling his muscles under his shirt.

All the while Danny just wanted to scream and make this end!

"Stop it! I mean it!..."He shouted in between Paulina's kiss attack, which she ignored.

"Mmmmmm…."She moaned in delight as she deepen the kiss and rubbed herself against the man of her dreams. His lips were even softer than she imagined and she felt so much pleasure and energy from this.

Paulina just kept kissing him until every inch of his face was covered with her over priced lip gloss. She savored the taste of his lips, they were soft and addictive, and she wanted more.

She stopped for a moment to look at her beloved who was sending her a glare. Danny's entire face was red at this point, from either anger or embarrassment she didn't know, it was almost comical with the kiss marks on his face.

She looked at him and felt that same lust from before, glaring or not, Danny still looked so hot.

"I hate you"...Danny said in a cold voice
"You'll love me soon enough"...Paulina said confidently. She soon went back to kissing him and Danny was not enjoying it at all.

"I-I said st-wlop...'Danny barely muffled out but was silence by her tongue invading his mouth.

Danny could almost scream at this point, feeling so much anger, indignation and disgust as Paulina explored every inch of his mouth like she was claiming it as her own. He tried to shake free but he couldn't move for the life of him.

After almost full minute, Paulina finally parted and had a satisfied smirk on her face.

"Now that wasn't so bad, was it darling?.."She said in a sweet tone of voice.

She was however taken back when she felt Danny spit at her cheek. Blinking a bit and feeling so much anger, she saw Danny just giving her a dirty, angry glare.

"That wasn't nice darling...'She hissed in a warning tone.

"It's not suppose to!...'He said sarcastically, feeling so angry and humiliated at this point.

Paulina growled and slapped him in rage only to realize what she just did.

"Oh my gosh...Look what you made me do"...Paulina said in shock of her actions.

"You're pathetic"...Danny said coldly, only to flinch as Paulina kissed the spot where she hit him.

He couldn't believe her lack of respect and boundaries. She kidnapped him, tied him up and was practically molesting him. He felt so dirty and violated as she kissed him. It was almost like she was taunting him, it was like she was branding him as her property for crying out loud!

It was absolutely nothing like the kisses he had with Sam or even the passionate embrace Ember gave him, even if it was one sided, Ember at least didn't tongue him without his consent

"It's too bad we didn't get to spend Valentine's day together but there is always next year...and we'll have plenty of time together till then and I forgive you for the mistake you made last night with that ghost bitch Ember..."Paulina said to him and Danny only stared at her in disbelief.

'Do not call her a bitch!..."Danny yelled at the demented girl that was still on top of him. Paulina frowned at how quick he defended her.

"Oh please, I saw the entire thing and Cupid said what you had was fake..."She said coldly.

"You spied on us?!…."Danny exclaimed, though he shouldn't really be surprised at this point.

"I was just walking by...Though I still can't believe you chose to spend time with her instead of me..."Paulina accused and Danny growled at her.

"Fake or not, the reason I chose Ember is because, unlike you, she's not a crazy bitch who doesn't care about my feelings..."Danny shouted at the girl who looked offended.

" What are you talking about, of course I care about your feelings Danny"...Paulina asked in confusion.

"No you don't! Paulina, you don't even love me, you're just obsessed with me! If you cared about me as much as you think you do, you wouldn't have done any of this! You wouldn't have captured me, you would't have tied me up and you wouldn't have attacked Sam and Ember"...Danny yelled

"You're still on about those bitches"...Paulina said annoyed

"They are not bitches!..."...Danny shouted once more.

" Like it or not Danny, you are mine, you will realize we are meant to be and once that happens you and I will get married and live happily ever after..."Paulina said as she kissed his cheek, earning another growl from the halfa.

"Fucking crazy bitch"...Danny hissed as he now knew it was pointless to talk to her.

"Since this is a happy day...I'll let it slide...Since this will be there start of our new lives..."Paulina said happily and Danny could only stare at her in disbelief.

"You can't force me to love you!..."Danny shouted at her, only to be silence when Paulina finally got off him and walked to the other side of the room to pick something up.

He saw her bring a pink shopping bag and was digging inside of it.

"Oh...Can't I?…" She said as she presented him what looked to be a pink arrow...a familiar pink arrow.

It was one ofCupid's Arrow.

"OH NO!..."Danny thought in a panic.

Where did you get that?!",,,Danny demanded to the Hispanic beauty queen who shrugged.

"I picked it up last night..."Paulina said casually as she got closer to the half ghost boy who was looking more and more worried as he realized the implications.

"Just sit back and relax and pretty soon he can start on some real kissing ghost boy..."Paulina purred as she placed her hands on her tools.

"Shit!..."was all that came to Danny's mind as he saw Paulina prepare Cupid's small bow and arrow and was now aiming at him.

Danny noticed that the arrows were now radiating a red aura around them, that was also surrounding Paulina as well.

"W-What the?...'Danny thought briefly before his stomach dropped.

"Ready...aim...fire..."She shouted as the pink arrow suddenly entered Danny.

"No! No no no no no no no!...'He shouted as he saw the arrow slowly enter his body and he could start to feel the effects.

Danny screamed and tried to resist the spells effect on him but his eyes soon started to glowed pink and Paulina now knew he was finally all hers..
