Something's Not Right Here - Danny Phantom

DANNY'S POV

Well I had taken Cari's advice and I had actually managed to get some sleep. Which I didn't regret one bit since our first final was taking place in second period. Our teachers don't like to figure out how or what days they give their tests so we either have one test a day or three.

Sam and Tucker met me over at mine and Cari's lockers. The weird thing was Cari wasn't there. "Maybe she got sick because of all of the stress she's been under." Sam suggested as we headed to our first period.

"Ya maybe." I said with a sigh but I just had a bad feeling. Cari just seemed like one of those kids who never got sick. Or even if she did she would be at school unless she was dying, but I had been wrong about people before.

Well that test had went fantastically. Ya know, I knew about 10 of the answers. Maybe studying could've helped. Eh maybe next time. I was still kinda worried about Cari, but I just went home and decided to take down a few ghosts and give her some time off. I threw my books and bag on my bed and whispered "Going ghost." I flew out the window with a Fenton Thermos and went to look for my first target.

SAM'S POV

After I had returned home I immediately texted Cari to see if she was okay. The problem was that was over an hour ago. Cari always texts back almost as soon as she receives the text. This was definitely not like her. She even had her phone when she was out fighting ghosts.

I began to consider going over to her house and making sure with my own eyes that she was okay. She is the first girl friend that I have ever had and I really don't want to lose her. On the other hand I didn't want to bombard her with texts then run to her house like some crazed boyfriend.

I just had this bad feeling in my stomach, and what happen a couple of weeks ago didn't help my optimism. Vlad obviously wanted her for some reason. She wasn't quite as strong as Danny yet, and I guess that made her seem like an easier target. If she had mastered her fire powers I definitely wouldn't have been as worried.

The next morning I got a phone call. It was Cari's parents and they sounded pretty panicked. "Sam, have you seen Cari since yesterday!" I heard her mother say quickly.

I felt my eyes widen in shock, "N-no" I stuttered, "I thought she was out sick I never saw her yesterday. Did she come home the other night? Where is she?!"

"We don't know she came home the other night and we haven't seen her since. We had hoped she was with you." he father voice shook as he said this. I guessed they had the phone on speaker phone. It sure sounded like something her parents would do.

"I think we need to call the police!" she mother said in a raised voice then she hung up.

I immediately called Danny. Before he even had a chance to answer I yelled "Cari's missing!"

The line was silent for a second then Danny answered tentatively "W-what do you mean missing." I could sense the hint of panic in his voice.

"You know how we haven't seen her neither have her parents she's gone." I paused for a second then said quietly, "Danny what do you think happened to her."

"I don't know Sam. I going to tell Tucker. I just hope Vlad doesn't have her again. He'll be prepared this time and if she's been gone this long already..." He stopped there and then hung up after a few seconds of silence.

I flung myself backwards on my bed wishing there was something I could do to help her. I knew being half ghost was dangerous but sometimes I just felt so helpless simply being human. Vlad was really playing dirty if he was behind all of it.

URGH I could just scream I needed to find her. We all needed to find her. She's one of the best friends I've ever had. I just had this bad feeling that Vlad wasn't working alone, and this time they were someone a little more dangerous than Skulker.
