Short fic writing trip

Sacred Secrets 1

K so if the title looks familiar, it is. this is a book that got put in Book of Short Lived Ideas and I decided that if I put what I still have of it here then maybe I'd actually work on it. We'll see how long this hyperfixation lasts lol

1 - I'm Sorry, What?

"Danny, quit squirming!"

"It hurts!"

"Well, don't go flying head first at Technus next time, unless you want me to treat another electrical burn."

Three friends sat together in a room, one tending to the others injuries, and the last scanning his device intensely.

"I don't get it," the one with the device said suddenly, "Technus hadn't bothered us for months, why now? Didn't he sign the pact?"

"No," a hiss of pain came from the injured one, Danny. "Not many did, only Ember, Kitty, Johnny, Box Ghost, Lunch Lady, Pandora, Frostbite, Dorathea, Wulf and Cujo."

"Half of those guys wouldn't fight us anyway," the one tending to Danny, a girl dressed in black, spoke, "they only did it as a courtesy."

"That still doesn't explain the sudden lull in attacks and why they're starting to come back." Danny wondered aloud, "Any ideas Tucker?"

Tucker shook his head. "My PDA can only do so much, I can hack databases, not the mind of a ghost. Sam?"

The girl, Sam, shook her head. "I don't know why you'd expect me to know, just because I have more common sense then you two doesn't mean I'm some psychic genius."

The two boys glared at her momentarily before they pondered more on their questions, a small hiss occasionally coming from Danny and a muttered 'sorry' from Sam. Once the boy was patched up, he yawned and looked at his alarm clock.

3:13 am

"You guys just wanna spend the night? It's late and you guys have stuff here, you practically live here anyway." Danny chuckled softly, and his friends agreed. Danny packed up the first aid kit while his friends gathered their things and readied themselves for bed. Later settled in Danny's room once again, they continued their theories.

"Maybe it's just Technus, he's always been a nuisance." Tucker suggested, still hunched over his PDA. "It's not unusual for one off ghosts to pop up randomly."

"But so many in a row?" Danny countered. "Yesterday it was Skulker, before that was Desiree, and before that was Youngblood."

Sam furrowed her brows. "We haven't heard from Vlad in a while, maybe he's behind it?"

"He has been relatively quiet," Danny mused, "but how well does he get along with the others to get them to attack after a peace streak?"

Tucker scoffed, "like they need a reason other than attacking you."

"That is true," Danny smiled.

The trio continued talking, the conversation slowly dying off until exhaustion took each of them one by one.

**********************

The sunrise came all too soon, and with it a bang from beneath the room. Danny was the first to wake, jolted by the sudden noise. He checked his clock, 7:18am.

How are they already working on something? It is way too early for this shit. He thought as he rolled out of bed, his movement stirring his friends.

"Are they working in the lab?" Sam muttered as she rubbed sleep out of her eyes. Danny grumbled in response and went to check on whatever his parents were doing, Sam and Tucker in tow. They reached the basement lab to find what looked like the Specter Speeder, just bigger, like a bus. Danny's mom, Maddie, popped up from behind it.
