Phantom On Lockdown

chapter 8, get out while you can

Danny runs through the halls weaving round abandoned open lockers and other papers that had been dropped during the alarm. His breath freakishly calm due to his ghostly pulse. He glances round to see the elder vlad masters still hot on his trail. He couldn't go ghost, not in school. Even under lockdown there were to many cameras which ment to many eyes. He dashed round the corner, 'bathroom, I need to get the the bathroom' he thinks eyes scanning the hall to find out where exactly in the school he was. Spotting the teachers lounge he lets a small flicker of hope burn up inside. He dashes up to the door and tugs on the handle.
Locked. His stomach drops. Of course, it's a lockdown why wouldn't it be locked. He turns round to run only to find the extremely crazy looking vlad masters standing over him, knife in hand, grin on face.
"Tick, tock, Times up little badger!" He laughs.
Danny steps back until his back is pressed firmly against the door. He had two options, fight and hope that vlad was as rundown as he looked, or reveal his other identity to the camera in the corner and hope that breaking it will conceal it from the world. He bites his lip and shuts his eyes "no" he mutters. As he Is about to change into phantom his enhanced hearing picks up on close by footsteps, they were getting closer. "DANNY!" Sam screams skidding round the corner tackling vlad off his feet "run, fast!"she says jumping up and grabbing his wrist. They run back round the corner to the rest of the class "c'mon dorks, don't let us down athletic or not run!" Dash yells as every starts to run away from the insane vlad masters. Heading to the backfield, the small English class run. By now all but Danny huffing in air as the rest behind the closed doors of the gym, the exit to outside just at the other end of the room. They all stare at the calm Fenton. Mr lancer steps towards him and kneels down "Daniel? What is going on?" He asks mixed emotions of worry and terror swirling round his face. Danny lets out a deep breath "I-I I have a theory? But I don't know quite how it's possible?" He says biting his lip. The whole class look to him "I think that might be master's from the future" Danny says. "What? That's preposterous boy, timetravle is impossible!" Lancer says "and yet, ghosts having portals to our realm is not" Danny asks serious. Everyone freezes "he has a point sir" Tucker says. By now dash had noticed that Danny wasn't even phased by running.
"HEY fenturd! Since when could you run like that without even being fazed!?" He asks harshly. Hushed murmers spread throughout the class "yeah" "dash is right" "that's so not normal" Danny groans and glares around "SHUT UP!" He snaps "in case you haven't noticed we are all being hunted down by a mad man could we ignore my running differences for now and just pay attention to the problem at hand!" He says the room goes silent "sorry for yelling but, you would to if someone wanted you dead" he mumbles. Lancer, Sam and Tucker pull him into a hug " DANNY what do we do" Sam whispers in a soft whimper. He looks around and then back to Sam who was the only one left hugging him "danny we need to call your parents" lancer says "they deserve to know there son is being threatened" he says Danny hesitates then nods "call them, I have to tell them something anyway, and I'd much rather say it to there face" he says as Sam finally lets go.
As Danny finishes talking he notices vlad out the door Window. "Duck!" He whisper getting down and closer to the wall, everyone copys staying out of the view of the window. Vlad can be heard approaching the door, the doors rattle as he tries opening them then he leaves. Danny lets out a breath then turns to Sam "plasmius?" He asks no one except the trio understood. Why had he not transformed into his alternative personal plasmius?. Danny peers through the small Window to see vlad, back turned to them.he ducks back down and looks the his class. "Right dash, you take the jocks and open the doors, your fastest out of all so I'm leaving you in charge of getting them open, as soon as it's open and your all out I'll send Mickey and the others, me Sam Tucker and Mr. Lancer will go last. Once everyone I outside well shut the door again, that way fruitloop won't know where out" Danny whispers getting nods of agreement in return. Again peering out to vlad, who was now walking to the other doors, he turns to dash and nods. Dash and the other jocks run to the door and open it,all making it out while Danny keeps watch, as vlad starts to turn around Danny give dash as wave. "Go" he mouths getting down. Dash pulls the door shut and stands on the outside out of view. Once satisfied Danny risks looking. Vlad now at the other end of the hall danny sends the rest out. Just as he is about to give Sam tuck and lancer the ok, the door is kicked open.
Danny swings his leg Round catching vlad full in the chest. Dash, having seen this yelps and rushes to help the last of them out, "c'mon, Danny can handle him now right?" He says dragging them to the door. Danny stands tall be for glancing to the class crowded around the open exit "RUN, ITS ME HE WANTS, ITS ME HE GETS!!"Danny yells be for being knocked down. He groans "wow,that's low, even for you"he mutters wiping a little dribble from his lip. He turns punching vlad in the chin and sweeping his feet from under him. "I was told to kill you, so im not going to play fair" vlad says spitting blood. He looks Danny dead in the eye, "yeah about that, why am I on your hit list?" Danny asks in a fighting stance "didn't think you could fight in your human form" he says holding his chin and ignoring the question. "You would be surprised" Danny shrugs before lunging forward into attack.
