The Other Halfa: Part II - Danny Phantom the Series

Claw of the Wild: Part 1

"Summer camp! How great is this?! We can go hiking and canoeing, and exploring! I can't believe only me, (y/n), and Logan are excited about this," Sam exclaims as we drove closer to the campsite. 

It had been about a month since the Nocturne incident, and by now, the boys knew Sam and I had a fight. We had told them they didn't need to worry about it. It was between Sam and me, and we had agreed to at least be civil with each other. Sam had suggested we go camping for the Summer to get away from everything and just relax, though it did take some convincing for Danny and Tucker, we had all agreed to go.

"Oh, I'm really excited, now instead of spending five days a week with these losers, I get to spend two whole months," Danny exclaims, crossing his arms and rolling his eyes. 

Surprisingly, most of the class had wanted to come along for the trip, or their parents forced them to come along. 

"I can't wait to show you all the wonders nature has to offer!" Sam continues to say, she was excited for this trip.

"Does it offer a movie theater? Or a video arcade?" Danny asks, looking out the window with a bored expression, when Tucker leaned over his seat across from us and leaned over me to hand Danny a video game.

"Don't worry, Danny, you bring the anti-venom serum, I'll bring the arcade, here's all the nature we need." 

Danny suddenly perks up with interest. "Rain Forest Demolition II?! Oh sweet! Who wants to help me build the virtual Fenton Acers?" 

"I'll stick to the real thing, thanks," Sam says, her arm reaching over the seat as I hand her back the brochure she had given me. 

Sam and Logan were sitting behind me and Danny, while Tuck sat across from us. Logan looked over Sam's shoulder, reading the bolded words, 'Camp Skull And Cross Bones On Beautiful Lake Eerie.'

A picture of a beautiful campsite was shown, but the reality of the place didn't compare, and not in a good way.

"Is that...The camp?" I ask skeptically.

Sam and Logan look up to see that the campsite looks nothing like the brochure's picture; the water looked dirty, the plants were either dead or overgrown, and the building looked run-down, unused in years, most likely rotting. 

"Good choice..." Tuck mutters as the school bus stops at the mess hall. 

"Well, the brochure may be outdated, but at least that sign is accurate," Danny mutters as we watch a part of the roof cave in, the boards breaking. 

"Creepy with two Es, alright, in fact, this may qualify for three," Tucker complains.

"Well, there's no going back; the bus just left," I point out, and everyone turns around to see the bus leaving in the distance.

"Come on, guys, there's nothing scary about this place!" Sam interjects when Lancer's voice rings out, and we look ahead to see him and Testlaff walk up. 

"Hello, pioneers!" 

The rest of the class gasped as Danny asked, "Mr. Lancer? Ms. Testlaff? What are you doing here?" 

I hear all the students start to beg under their breath, "Please just say passing through, please just say passing through, please just say passing through."

"Children, relax, for the next eight weeks, we're not your teachers." 

Everyone sighs in relief. 

"Better. We're your counselors!" 

Everyone let out a gasp as Testlaff continued. 

"So our hold over you no longer stops at 3 p.m., it lasts the whole live-long day." 

"Before I burst into tears at the thought of my lost Summer, can you tell us where the bathrooms are?" Mikey asks, met with a terrifying response. 

"There aren't any." 

Everyone gasps again. 

"Call of the Wild!" 

"Sack it up, Lancer, you're in the wilderness, all the world's your bathroom!" Testlaff tosses toilet paper to Nathan, and he and Mikey head towards the woods. 

"I heard this camp is haunted." 

"Me too. They say there's a monster in the woods that Lake Eerie." 

"And two in the lake!" 

The students start to chatter as I roll my eyes.

Ghost stories already, really? 

"Just what we need, amateur ghost stories," I grumble, Danny nodding his head when Testlaff blew her whistle, gaining everyone's attention.

"Pipe down, campers! This camp is definitely not haunted!" 

Mikey comes running up, screaming his head off. "AAAAHHHH! There's a ghost monster in the woods! It took Nathan!" 

Everyone gasps, once again, at the news. 

"Calm down, soldier! There are no monsters at this CAMP!" Testlaff shouts after placing a blanket on Mikey's shoulders. 

"Tell that to the beast that just ate Nathan!" Mikey says with a shiver. 

"Beast? How big is a beast compared to a monster? Anyone?"

 Lancer asks, and I roll my eyes, speaking up.

"We should check out the woods, we need to find Nathan, we can split up into two search parties—" 

"Negative. This camp is now under lockdown. Everyone reports back to their cabins! Mr. Lancer and I will search for Lester's remains." 

I facepalm as the students start to freak out...

Worst teachers, worst counselors ever.

"It's ok, we'll find Nathan, Lancer, and Testlaff won't ruin the whole Summer. We can still have fun," Sam says with a fake smile, her eye twitching.

"This can still be fun..." I mutter to myself sarcastically, sitting on my bed in the cabin.

Sam, Star, Paulina, another girl, and I were paired in the same cabin. The other girl went to bed while Star and Paulina gave each other makeovers, gossiping during the process. 

"So he was like no way! And I was all like yes way!" 

"No way!" 

I overhear grumbling again, "We're doomed." 

I look up to see Sam standing in front of me as she points towards the door, asking, "Can we talk?" 

I nod, getting up, and we slip outside.
