Danny Hacker.

Chapter 16: The Best Touchdown.

The football player rolled off of Charlie with blood on his chest. I ran over to him and pulled his helmet off, of course it was Shawn. He must have suspected that something like this would go down. Walker ran to her sister's side who also had blood on her chest. The force of Shawn's tackle caused the back end of the hatchet to sink a bit into Charlie's chest while the longer end got Shawn. Walker pried the hatchet from Charlie's fingers and threw it down the alley. "I guess you could say that this was the best touchdown I've ever made." Shawn said trying his best to laugh but coughing instead. "Yeah I guess you're right" I said smiling down at him. Charlie pushed Walker away and scrambled to her feet and just stared at us. No one talked and no one moved. We knew what she was capable of, and we were not planning on becoming her next victims. "Danny. When you first got here I injected you with an over abundance of fentanyl while you slept. Didn't you notice that you looked a bit funny?" Charlie asked shooting daggers at Walker.. or Danny.. or whoever the heck she is. Walker started to say something but Charlie held up her hand motioning to let her finish. "I didn't do it to hurt you. I was doing it to show you something." She continued as she bent down to get closer to her sister. "Do remember when we were little girls, and you and I had climbed that really tall tree?" She asked looking at the ground. "Yeah I remember.. you fell and hurt yourself right?" Walker asked looking kind of confused as to why she would bring this up. "Well, yes.. but I broke my neck. And I remember nothing that happened afterwards, until waking up in the hospital completely fine. Everyone was staring at me in shock because the line on the machine had gone flat. And when I woke up it stayed that way. Mom and dad and I found out that I can't die. Well, I started to get curious about my new condition, and I wondered if it was a family thing. So naturally I wanted to know if you, Jackson, mom and dad were the same way. So I followed you guys the day you took him to meet his friends. I followed you first, and hid in some bushes. I didn't really have much of a plan, but then you fell asleep and I knew that was my chance. I injected you with a deadly amount of  fentanyl, like I said, and you should be dead right now. I waited for you to wake up for awhile but you didn't so I assumed you had really died. So I left you there. I went back to where you dropped Jackson off and waited for his friends to leave. I didn't want him to know it was me so I dressed up like the Mocker Mutilator. He didn't come back either, so I had to cover up what I had done by making it look like the Mocker Mutilator killed him. I went back to my bedroom and pretended that I had been up there all day. Then I heard you come in.. and.. I knew that you were just like me. Then later on I decided to try mom and dad to see if maybe I inherited it from them. Of course we know how that turned out. So I realized that you and I were the only two hackers with this unique condition and I wanted to tell you about it. But you were gone. You've been dead for awhile Danny. Haven't you noticed any changes in your body?" Charlie stopped talking, waiting for her sister to say something. I didn't believe what she was saying because it just couldn't have been true. "No. I don't believe it." Walker said staring up at Charlie with a glare. "Well you sure as hell better believe it darlin'." A familiar voice said from behind us. We all turned to look and I was shocked to see Ronnie. He wasn't looking so good. "This young lady right here explained to me why I am alive right now. And when I didn't believe her she stabbed me.. right here." He said pointing at a large wound on his chest. "And I'm still kickin' ain't I." He added smiling down at Charlie. "The condition we all have is very rare Danny.. and when I heard about the fire and your friend I got suspicious. Didn't you ever wonder why the news never mentioned the fact that one was found injured while the other three were dead? Well, it's because he had just waltzed right out of there before anyone arrived to the scene." Charlie explained trying to get us to believe her. I mean.. it did all make sense to a point.. except for the dead people walking thing but other than that she was starting to convince me. With everything that was happening I had completely forgotten about Shawn, who was barely holding on.
