It's my birthday! I'm officially 13 or 14! GO ME! Oh yeah! So I thought you should all get a present of a huge major update block! Yes, several new stories and several old ones updated!

And the funkay formatting in chapter 3 is now FIXED! Please reread it, as I tried reading it and it chunked up on me.

Hey, HS! Wassup? And yes, I do accept your HAPPY F---ING BIRTHDAY, LISA! Heh…

DISCLAIMER: no.

NOTE: I know this story can offend some people because of incorrect portrayal of vampires. Yes, I know they're regular people who just need blood as a supplement of their diet, and they only get blood from WILLING DONORS. No, I didn't get any reviews, I wanted to make a note of this.

RATED: T for slightly mature themes, mention of blood, and language.

PAIRING ALERT: minor DxS and TxS in this chapter.

Chapter 4

"Touching Upon"

Danny turned back into the alley, where Jazz waited for him patiently and obediently.

"Teper shto delat?" she asked.

"Ya ix ooveezhoo zaftra. Ee anee boodoot gatova." Danyek smiled. Yasmin smirked. The two, together, walked into the wall and entered their sanctuary, where several others stood, awaiting their response.

"Zaftra," said Danyek.

Danny never did show up that night. Sam had waited for hours. And hours. And hours. He never showed up. She had set up movies, a special seat for him, everything for him. And he didn't show up.

She fell asleep crying that night, fearing what did happen to him. Did he go back? Did he bite? She didn't know anymore. And for his sake, she'd have to find him. Or perhaps was it her sake? She didn't know anymore.

She knew that it was ridiculous to believe him now. For God's sake, she never did that! Why was it this time? It was because she wanted tangible proof so bad that he never did anything bad that she believed the first thing he said, despite the whole fiasco. Maybe it was because she felt a strong attraction to him and wanted to save him before he turned into the beast he could become.

The next day at school, several people were out. Nathan, Valerie, Paulina, and Mikey were just a few of the people. There were more, but Sam didn't know them. At her locker, she grabbed her books when Tucker ran over.

"Sam!" She turned her head. "You have to take Russian. I transferred you already." Sam bit back her moan; she liked French! But this was a matter of their best friend, and if Russian meant it was going to save him, then by all means, teach her all the Russian in the world!

But, she thought, damn, it's a drag. Her arm was balancing her head, which was barely taking in any of the lesson.

"Now, if it ends in a, it's feminine, so you address it as ohna since we don't have the word it in Russian. If it doesn't, then it's masculine, so we call it ohn." Sam wrote the note down, but it was boring. "What do you call your female friends?" asked the teacher. Sam raised her hand.

"Yes, Sam?"

"Podryoogee."

"Yes! And what do you call your male friends or your group of friends? That can be a mix or just male."

Sam raised her hand again.

"Dryoogee."

"Yes!"

The lesson dragged on and on. All this woman taught was what she already knew, and she couldn't help but close her eyes every few seconds and daydream, wondering what Danny—or Danyek—was doing.

Tucker and Sam had to ghost-hunt on their own now, but that was the least of their worries at the moment. Right now, their main focus was catching Danny and fixing him before any damage was done.

They were walking cautiously down Danny's street when they were swept away under the lonely, neglected crest of the moon.

"Let go of me, damn it!" screeched Sam. She looked up to see Yasmin carrying her away on the rooftop. Tucker reached out her hand to her, as he was carried away by another, unidentifiable person. Sam took it, smiling despite the situation.

They kept their hands together for the rest of the ride, if that's what an optimist would like to say. But before long, the sky left them, silhouetting behind them. Instead, a sanctuary lay before them. It was almost like a hotel, with a long hallway and several rooms but more accustomed to vampires. The two dropped Tucker and Sam in their room and locked it.

"So…" chuckled Tucker. Sam shoved him, half-serious, half-playful. She wanted to do something, but there was nothing to do.

An hour had passed (Tucker had taken to announcing the time every two minutes), giving Sam time to contemplate the situation and then, without noticing it, begin sobbing. At the end of this hour, Danyek walked in like a businessman. Sam and Tucker anchored themselves to the beds and floors, giving him glares. Sam's was particularly hurtful due to the teary eyes. They didn't speak.

Danyek walked up and grabbed them by their shirts. He dragged them off outside the room, the two kicking and screaming. Danyek shook some sense into them and they quieted. Tucker comforted the young woman in his clutches, but it didn't do much. She was still crying hysterically. Before long, they were thrown into a different room. The chamber-like door shut when Sam regained conscious control.

She was sitting on her butt, legs apart and her arms between them. Her lip quivered and she broke out in crazy hysterics, her head hung back like an upset kindergartener. But her crayon wasn't stolen, her paper wasn't ripped—her best friend in the whole world was a vampire out to get them! She couldn't do anything. Tucker understood her situation and shushed her, hugging her and rocking her lightly.

"It's okay, Sam…we'll get him back, I know it…it's okay, don't worry…we'll be alright…" Tucker laid his head down on her. His mother did it to him when he was in those kind of hysterics, and the situation might be awkward, but he didn't want to leave Sam crying like that. It really pained him to see her in any state of extreme emotion besides happiness or the like.

However, Tucker wasn't sure of what he said. That was only to quiet and comfort Sam, which worked. He didn't know if they'd get Danny back. He didn't know if they'd live. He didn't know anything in their present position.
