Stalked

Chapter 8

"Casey June was arrested for the murder of Gina Hughes and Dexter Cavers, he was sentenced to life in The County Mental Institution, over in Texas. He was also stalking, 17 year old Danny WhiteHawk. Danny who was on the scene, kept repeatedly telling the reporters that, Casey had followed him, and tryed to take advantage of him. Okay now moving on to sports-"

Danny sat there watching the t.v, while his mom shook her head.

"That is why i didn't like him, mom." Danny gestured his hands towards the tv.

"I still don't understand why you didn't do anything about it."

"I told you, you even heard on t.v, I didn't want him to kill me."

His mom didn't say anything after that, she just got up and walked to the kitchen. Danny felt so relieved, that Casey was finally locked up. But now he had nobody to talk to. Dexter was gone, there was always Jeff and Bella. But no, after that little tiff, they are apart. He got up and went to his room to sleep. He actually slept, for once.

The next day, Danny got called to the coaches office.

"Danny, I'm giving you the spot for quarterback again. To be honest, none of these boys are quarterback material, only you could fill that spot in."

Danny laughed, "Well thank you Coach, I'm glad to be back on the team." He got up and shook Coaches hand.

"Oh did you see the paper today?" Coach grabbed the paper, and shoved it in Danny's face. Danny went pale and felt sick.

The headline read, Crazy Casey escapes Mental Hospital.

"I can't believe this kid would escape, Mental Hospitals are supposed to be armed with security."

"Well, Texas doesn't really have a good security system." Danny couldn't get that headline out of his head. He wanted to run and run forever.

"I expect you to be at the game today," Coach said like he read Danny's mind.

"Y-yeah i will be, there."

"Good, your dissmissed,"

Danny ran out of the room and into the boys washroom. He ran in the stall and upchucked in the toilet. His stomach hurt.

"Where......I have to get out of here." Danny got up and ran. He went home. His mom jumped up and showed Danny the paper.

"I know mom, i know."

"You can't go back to that school."

"I have to, we have a game today."

"I don't care, Your staying home."

"No I'm going," Danny headed back to the school. If he was around a bunch of people, he would feel safe. Someone will see Casey, and call the police.

The game went really well, they won against the Jays. Danny didn't even think once about Casey's escape. A bunch of girls came up to Danny and congradulated him. He even gave a ton of girls hugs and kisses.

"Congrats boys, now go to the showers, you guys reek like sweat."

The team headed off the the shower room still cheering like hell. Some of them even carried Danny, because he was the one who made them win.

Danny got undressed, some of the guys were already done their showers, or some didn't even shower. Gross. The room emptied really fast. Danny was the only one in there.

He rubbed his chest with a bar full of soap, then he looked down to see the bubbles and dirt disappear into the drain.

Danny switched off the shower, and threw a towel around his waist. He turned around and Casey was standing there, with one of his friends. They weren't close to him.

Danny's eyes widened and he looked for a place to go. He took off running in the other direction. He heard Casey's loud footsteps behind him.

Come on Danny run, run! He yelled in his mind. He's going to catch you.

Danny ran up a flight of stairs slipping all the way up. This seems very familiar. His dream..yes his dream. Its real..! He felt like he couldn't run at all. It was like running in quick sand. He kept slipping.

Casey was so close.

He finally got to the top, he heard Casey running up the stairs. So he took off the other way. Remember don't take the way you took in the dream! Danny thought.

But when he went around, he came back to the same spot. Then, not even thinking, he practically flew down another staircase. Finding a door he ran through it and found the Janitor moping the wet floor.

"Help me," Danny pleaded.

Th Janitor looked at him, "For?"

"Someone is chasing me,"

"I could see why," The Janitor checked Danny out.

Danny felt grossed out, and ran out the other door in the back as soon as he heard the other door opening. He burst through the door and found Casey standing there.

"You think you can get away for what you done?" Casey smiled sickly.

"Casey..."

"Too late for words, Danny." Casey wrapped his hands around Danny's neck. He struggled to get away from him.

"Casey...let me go.."Danny said in a raspy voice.

"Say bye Danny," Casey twisted his arms around Danny's neck and snapped it.

"Danny WhiteHawk died April 13, 2002. His killer, Casey June, remains hidden. Nobody knows where he is residing."

"I just hope they find this monster......."
