Something's Not Right Here - Danny Phantom

DANNY'S POV

Five days it had been five days. No trace of Cari. There was nothing, NOTHING, no trace of her. Tucker Sam and I had already checked all of Vlad's known mansions, cabins, and properties. I'd even gone into the ghost zone and searched it like a mad man.

Her parents were losing their minds. They had cops and business friends looking everywhere for her. The problem was that there was no evidence at all. She was in her room one second then the next she was gone.

Tucker, Sam, and I, well more Sam than me and Tucker hadn't been going to school much. And from what I'd witnessed a lot of people at school, people that I wouldn't've expect to see that kind of thing from, like Dash and Paulina seemed rather upset and concerned. I hoped people won't notice the sudden disappearance of Red Shadow. That would cause a whole new problem. As for our absences during finals week, our principle out of some random act of kindness told us that we don't have to take them. A lot of the teachers liked Cari, well besides her excessive locker slamming, and everyone is hoping for her return. I guess everyone was still hoping for the best. As for me I swore I'd never stop looking for her until the day I died.

CARI'S POV

I woke up to Vlad leaning over me adjusting the bag of red liquid. I felt weak and yet again I began to wonder just what that stuff was.

When Vlad realized I was awake he stepped back and smiled, "Today we are going to test to make sure your powers still work. I don't want anything to seem out of the ordinary."

"Why don't you just let me go?" I snarled angrily putting all the force I could muster behind me voice.

"Soon enough. Soon enough." he made his way over to a panel on the wall and unlocked the cover of it so that he could get to the controls. I quickly formulated a plan. It was pretty risky but if I could build up enough adrenalin. I waited for the exact moment when he pressed the button that would release me. I assumed he thought at this point I was too weak to fight back and I was ready to prove him wrong.

I immediately burst up, fire forming at my fists and I shot everything I had at him and then flew as fast as I could towards the door. Sadly, I didn't quite make it Vlad had shifted into his ghost form and shot a ghost ray at my rib cage, and may I say that really hurt.

In less than I heartbeat I turned toward him and screamed my lungs out. Everything in the lab began to fall apart and Vlad was sent flying backwards. I had only seen Danny perform that once so I had no idea how I pulled that off.

I made it out in no way spared of any injuries. If what I felt on that table was bad, it was nothing compared to the way I felt now. It felt like I had taken a second trip though the turned off ghost portal. All I wanted to do was land but I was too terrified Vlad would find me and I had no idea where in the world I was.

I spotted a busy looking area of a town and decided that it would be a relatively safe place to hide. I shot, well more sluggishly fell towards the ground and shifted behind a building. It was then that realized the severity of my injuries. Definitely at least one broken rib fractured wrist and multiple cuts that probably needed stitches. I'd never been that beaten up before. But at that point my top priority was to find out where I was and do so without freaking people out with my appearance.

Luckily I had managed to put my phone in my pajama pocket before I was kidnapped. So after I had found the name of the town I was able to Google it and find out where I was. Apparently I was in some town in North Dakota really close to the Canadian border. That didn't calm me down much. I was a little more than far from home.

"Sam." I said to myself "I can call her maybe they can come and get me." I pulled up Sam's number and my knees began to shake and I felt sick and almost ready to pass out. I had no idea how I had lasted that long. Maybe it was all of my adrenalin trying to get me out of there.

I head Sam pick up, "Cari?" she asked her voice full of hope. At that point I burst into tears.
