Chapter 3

Danny seen Casey with the knife. He was running after Gina and the knife seemed longer than it was before. Danny wanted to yell and call Gina's name to run towards him, but he couldn't. This wasn't his dream! It was Casey's dream. Why was he in Casey's dream? Of course, Casey would want Danny to be in every one of his dreams.

Gina tripped and screamed, Casey hovered over her with a knife and quickly lowered the knife inside her chest. She thrashed and screamed, Casey was laughing and his face was covered in blood. He began to slow down when Gina lay there limp and still. He carved something in her body and then walked off. Still carrying the blood stained knife. Danny wanted to scream and yell for Gina. He felt frightened to go back to sleep, and to see Casey.

Danny had dark circles around his eyes, he looked like he didn't sleep at all last night. His stomach tightened, he felt a wave of nausea wash over him. He ran to the toilet and purged inside of it.

Danny seen Gina all over again, lying there doubled up in the darkness of the night. He rested his head on top of the cold toilet cover. His head was burning and he was sweating badly. He didn't feel good, plus he most definitely didn't want to go to school. He walked like a zombie back to his room, dropped on his bed and fell asleep.

"Danny," His mom shook him. Danny opened his eyes part ways, but his moms image was blurry. "Danny come on it's 11:32, You're already late for school."

"I don't feel good," Danny turned the other way facing his back to his mom.

"Get dressed and go to school, I want you to pass all of your classes and graduate with honors. Now get moving."

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME! I SAID IM NOT FEELING WELL!" Danny yelled at his mom. He wasn't feeling himself. He felt like he wanted to puke again.

"Well i'm not going to put up with that attitude mister. Now get dressed!" She crossed her arms and waited until he moved.

He angrily threw his covers aside and walked over to his closet and stepped inside. It was cool and damp. He quickly threw on whatever and walked out. His mom was still standing there. Then she walked out glad to see him dressed.

Danny brushed down his hair and washed his face. He didn't look any better. All he kept thinking about was his dream last night. Which made him even more sick. He kept seeing Casey's bloody face and Gina's bloody limp body. He walked out the door, thinking what Mrs.Johnson would say if he was late. He didn't care about third period anyways.

"Hey look a zombie," Brent Perez followed Danny with his eyes when he walked in the room. Nobody didn't laugh. Because they knew better.

"Shut the fuck up before i end you punk." Danny turned to face Brent and pointed at him. Brent shut up right there. "You know you shouldn't mess with me." Danny said walking to his seat in front of Casey. Casey was looking at him. Was that blood on his shoe? Casey had this dirty look on his face. Like he was undressing Danny with his eyes.

"And you. I had enough of you, don't fucken look at me." Danny balled up his fist. Casey's smile faded and turned into a look of hate.

Danny listened to the whispers around him, "Is Danny okay?" "Is he sick?" "Whats wrong, did something happen, he changed."

That made him place his hands over his ears. Mrs. Johnson walked in the room.

"Everyone, one of our students were found in the woods today. Stabbed to death, her name was Gina. I'm sure some of you must have known her, maybe were even her best friend,"

Some of the girls started breaking down crying. Danny chewed on his thumb, staring at one spot on the floor. He thought of Gina last night. How he kissed her and made love to her. A tear fell from his eye. He turned to look at Casey. Casey stared at him with a smirk on his face. He seemed to be playing with something inside of his pocket.

 The halls were empty, Danny was the only one walking around. He needed to get out of that classroom. Away from Casey and away from everyone. He knew he should have walked Gina home. She would still be here. A loud bang made Danny jump.

"Danny!" A voice called out.

Danny turned around and looked at the corners. He waited for a few more seconds, then Casey came around the corner. Danny's eyes widened. He was still staring back at Casey and started walking. Casey was walking faster, so Danny turned another corner and ran. He knew Casey was chasing after him. Because the thuds of his shoes were close behind. He wanted to call for help but nobody was around, they were all in their classes, or gone home.

He ran up the stairs, waited for the sound of Casey following. He wasn't too far behind, because Casey stopped halfway up the stairs.

Casey looked at Danny, "All i want is you Danny, Thats all." He took one step and Danny booked it.

Danny ran right into Jeff. Who bounced off Danny's chest and went flying into the wall.

"Woah slow down, whats the matter?" Jeff said.

"It's Casey he's chasing me," Danny huffed. He turned to the stairs he ran up. But nobody was on them. Casey was gone.
