[Book 1] The Lost Princess. [PENDING]

Destination : Paris !

Sam wakes up around 7 a.m and stretches. She sits down and sees the young girl sleeping soundly beside her. She prays that she doesn't have to wake her up. Sam gets up and goes for a quick shower and on leaving sees Danielle, sitting up, rocking back and forth, visibly not awake. Sam laughs and goes to hug the little one to take her to the bathroom. Danielle washes, gets ready and joins Sam in the room doing the bag. The two young people go to the ground floor to have a good big breakfast for Danielle while Sam, with her glass of fruit juice, consulted the planes from Grenoble to Paris.

"Could I talk to daddy tonight?" Ask the little one.
"Yes, it's midnight over there. They must be sleeping." Sam smiles.
"Soon I'll see him again." Danielle smiles, on the verge of tears.

Sam goes to sit next to Danielle to hug her. Danielle was sobbing softly and Sam was gently rubbing her back. The little one's head was in Sam's chest, her hands clutching the goth top, Danielle was feeling bad. Although she knew she would be reuniting with her father in a few days, she missed him terribly. Sam felt bad for the little one and did her best to console her. Around nine o'clock, they leave the hotel, their stomachs full, and head to the nearest bus stop. According to the software, they are far from there ... They get on the bus to go to the Grenoble train station where they buy something to take care of in a TER* which must drop them off at "Le Grand-Lemps ". Travel time ? 1h30 minimum.

Sitting in one of the train cars, the two young women play cards until Sam needed to go to the bathroom. She asks Danielle to stay calm, that she'll come back as soon as possible. After all, the little one was a ghost hybrid, Sam didn't have to worry. So why is she afraid of leaving her alone? Danielle pulls out a magazine to read when the train stops for a minute to let passengers get off and on. The little one does not see the two men at first sitting in front of her, since she and Sam had sat at a table of 4 to have enough space. One of the two men walks up a bit and removes the magazine from Danielle who understands the situation instantly. She was immediately afraid when she saw the two men talking to her way too suggestive. Danielle tries to get up to run away, but the two men corner her on the bench. The little one thought about her powers, but fear prevented her from reasoning correctly and only had the reflex to curl up against the window of the moving train to protect herself.

"Allez... On ne va pas te faire de mal. On veut juste discuter." He said broadly.
"Laissez-moi tranquille..." Danielle's voice trembles.

"N'aie pas peur on-" One of the men had started to reach out to her, but was held back by a strong grip. "Qu'est-ce qu-" He turns to meet a furious gothic, if looks could kill he would be dead already.
"Dare to tuch her and you'll regret it." Sam scolds fiercely.
"Qu'est-ce que tu comptes faire ?" The boastful man stands up in front of Sam.

"Killing you."

He laughed, followed by his friend. He puts his hand on Sam's shoulder with evil thoughts but she grabs his arm, stands with her back to him and knocks him over her, pinning him to the ground, his arm trapping behind his back. The other gets up to come to his friend's aid, but Sam stands up just in time to inflict a violent head butt in the other's jaw. A muffled crack sounded throughout the wagon. An SNCF agent arrives, alerted by another passenger and asks for explanations. The other passengers then explained the whole situation and the two scoundrels were fined by the officers and the police and will be forced to get off at the next stop. Sam rushes towards Danielle who throws herself in Sam's arms, trembling.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone, it's my fault." Hugging the gothic.
"N ... No, I have ... Not been enough ... Vi-vigilant ..."
"Dani ... I promise that nothing will ever happen to you with me ..."

Sam could hear herself talking like a mother to her child, which was what all the other passengers thought. The rest of the journey was silent. Arrived at Le Grand-Lemps, Sam worried to see Danielle eating only two plates. Luckily for her, the shuttle to the airport was small and quick. Danielle even sat on Sam's lap to keep in touch with her. Once at the airport the crowd terrified Danielle for a moment, taking Sam's hand to feel reassured. Together, they cross the place until they reach the counters to take the tickets. And of course Sam hadn't thought about the fact that Danielle didn't have a passport or any ID. If in France, they are quite lax on identification documents, a simple driving license is enough to fly from Marseille to Paris, for foreigners, it was more complicated. Danielle had neither Visa nor passport ... She was an outlaw. And the next flight to Paris takes off in just over half an hour and the passengers must already go to assemble.

"Well ... have to find a way to get you on the plane without being seen ..." Sam mused.
"You know Sam... I'm a ghost hybrid." She reminded him. "I can turn into a ghost and follow you invisible." She smiles. Sam had never seen the little girl's phantom appearance before, that would be the occasion.
"Let's go out of sight." She leads Danielle to the bathroom, locking herself in one of the cabinets. "It's okay, you can." Danielle concentrates and two rings surround her, changing her appearance. Snow white hair, luminescent green eyes, and a black and white jumpsuit with a D on the chest. Sam was blown away. "Woaw, you are beautiful ..."
"My father looks a lot like me, you know that? He has a similar outfit, we have the same hair, the same eyes ..." Danielle shows intangibility and invisibility. Sam nods, it can do it.
"Oke, make yourself invisible and follow me close. Flying if you have to. But don't walk away from me." Sam looks her straight in the eye, worried. "Okay ?"
"Yes Sam, in my ghost form no one can catch me. Except my dad." She laughs softly.

Sam was relieved. The little one becomes invisible and Sam comes out of the bathroom to go to the boat gate. She felt an icy shiver in her back confirming the presence of Danielle not far from her. The gothic girl shows her passport and ticket, her bag is checked before being sent to the hold, her body was scanned, and then she was eligible to board the plane. She takes her place and at the end of the boat, it is a relief to have the always empty place next to her. Since it is a non-stop flight, Danielle comes out of the toilets in her human form and takes a seat next to Sam. They hold hands during takeoff and it's off for an hour by plane towards from Charles-de-Gaules airport, Roissy. Danielle had even fallen asleep while Sam was playing airplane mode on her phone. Once on the ground, Danielle wakes up and turns into a ghost to follow Sam through the air while being invisible. Checks passed, bag recovered, Danielle quickly joins Sam in human form and takes back her hand so as not to move away.

The duo head to the table of upcoming flights to America, but none yet to pronounce. Sam looks at the time, it was almost 4 p.m. Refusing to take an overnight flight, Sam leaves the airport and goes to the nearest hotel to get a room for the night and check upcoming flights with her laptop. Sam's phone starts ringing: Tucker. She picks up by activating the front camera, positioned at a good distance for well-being seen. Her surprise was to see Danny.

Little explanation about the trains in France.

Our society of train is called SNCF for "Société Nationale des Chemins de Fers" (National Society of Railways) and have differents types of trains. We'll reminds only two of them, the most used, : the TGV and the TER.

The differences between the two ?

TGV = Train Grande Vitesse (High Speed Train) who travel betweens big town like : Marseille -> Paris, or Marseille -> Bordeaux.

TER = Train Express Régional (Express Regional Transport) who's travel only in a region, like : Marseille -> Toulon, they're at the same région : PACA (Provence-Alpes-Côtes-d'Azur). The TER is the most used on little town, like Aubagne, Port-de-Bouc, Fréjus... (I'll let you search on google maps)

Hope it's been hepfull ^^
