Death Hallow

Chapter 4: Getting Danny

Carly's POV

I was watching the movie that Alex had chosen which was a horror movie of the sort. At the scary part, the phone rang and we both screamed but came to the stupid realization that it was the home phone. Shane's place. I didn't answer.

"Alex, get Danny please!" I told her as I said the address.

"Fine. See you in a while." She said as she dragged her feet while moving towards the front door.

"Bye." I said as I kept my attention to the movie. I would face her but it was a good movie.

Alex got out of the house and then I heard a car driving out. Did I forget to mention that all my friends are 16 and that I'm almost that age too? Doesn't matter as long as I can hangout and be friends with them I'm cool with it. But having a car for your pranks is better because you have a way to leaving quickly.

I was happy that I didn't have to go get Danny and have to face what's-his-name again! Thank the GOD! I just hate him for all that he has done! And the guy has the nerve to bring it back up!

Moving on before I attack the punching bag in the basement again. It is there for a reason. It's a good stress reliever.

So, I went upstairs to my room looking for things for Alex and me to do tonight before school starts tomorrow... Sadly.

Alex's POV

I managed to get out of Carly's drive-way without running over any of her neighbor's cats. Wow, that one needs to learn to keep those devils inside before we have to plan a cat's funeral. If you haven't noticed I'm not as loving as the others but they accept that.

Anyway, I'm on my way to Danny's friend that won't be named because Carly needed Danny home soon. So, I pull up in the drive-way, and get out of the car and walk up to the door. I ring that annoying bell. Shane answers. Now I know why she didn't want to get him. She never gave the story about them but from the way she acts around him, it probably isn't good.

"Hello, Alex." He said. as he looked towards my car to see if someone was there. When he realize that I was alone, Shane's eyes trailed back to mine.

"Hi." I said with a death glare. I don't care if the girls like him but he got Carly mad.

"So, what are you doing here? Coming to see me?" He asked clearly amused.

"In your dreams, and I came here to pick Danny up. Where is he?" I said without loosing the glare.

"Funny. DANNY!" Shane screamed as Danny came down to his side. He didn't look hurt so I didn't have to beat Shane up. Danny is my best friend's little brother so he's like a brother to me.

Danny went to my side as we began to leave towards my car. I said a quick good-bye to them and Danny did too as we got inside my black car. The doors had opened and closed as we entered the car. I checked if Danny's seat belt was attached, which it was. When all was safe, I started the vehicle and began to exit the property.

"Hey, Alex?" Danny said as we were on our way back.

"What?" I said kindly.

"Is Carly okay?" He asked with a caring look. His usual self didn't appear in it.

"Yeah, she is." I answered.

"Good, and don't tell her I care about her or it wouldn't be as much fun with her around." Danny said with a small laugh.

"I won't but that was a first." I said as I kept my eyes on the road. I was listening to him the either way home.

"Thanks." He said. His eyes soon left mine and towards the window.

We arrived at the house and it finished the conversation as Danny and me entered the house. He went strait to his room to bed as I joined Carly at the couch. We were going to have a last sleepover before summer ends. At least it wasn't going to ruined.

*Hours later.*

Carly's mom came in later than usual but whatever. Carly and Danny had fallen asleep a while ago. Finally, the darkness had come in and sleep had taken over my body. I took in the darkness with delight.

Carly's POV

*Beep! Beep! Beep!*

That's the first thing I heard in the morning other than Alex groan, or Danny's loud snores. I never liked mornings in my life, it's just a pain. If Monday had a face, it would be bruised very badly.

Oh, wait I have school today. Fun. As I got out of bed my blanket got wrapped around my leg for some reason and I tripped. I landed on the floor in a flash and I could hear Alex laughing at me. Real smooth, Carly, real smooth. Damn carpet! I swear that it's out to get me!

"What...happened...?" Alex said between laughs.

"I have no clue." I said.

I heard footsteps in the hallway and I see Danny pass in front of my door to go down the stairs. He mutters an insult and I do the same. He left with an angered look. I won! Mouhahaha!

"You two don't like each other and make it visible. I respect that." Alex said.

"And this is why you're like a sister to me, because we understand each other." I said when I placed my hand above my heart. I was still on the ground. It's comfy, okay? Don't judge me!

"You gonna get up?" Alex asked biting her bottom lip in hopes that she won't fall laughing.

"If I didn't have school, then no. But I do so I have to." I said as I tried getting up but something grabbed my leg and pulled me down again. I was just shocked but quickly dismissed it. I took a glance at under the bed and notice a gnome with a green hat and a black beard. Weird. It must be Danny's new torture device of the sort. I could of sworn it blinked but I blamed it on the morning delusions of mine that have been happening lately. Like the time that I heard someone at my window and thought that I was being stalked but it was nothing.

*Hours later...Lunch time.*

I met up with my group which was missing Tanya and Amanda because they were busy with showing Shane around. The ones that were at my table were Dustin who was seated beside Alex, she was there too and finaly Luke who was busy with homework. I didn't have any morning classes with any of them.

It was all quiet other than the fact that the other students were talking. Alex was also working on homework but Dustin was trying to study for his test of the sort. An announcement was passed in the speakers (very loud too if you ask me) saying that school was going to make the spring break 2 weeks longer because they wanted to make a change with the auditorium or something. Who cares! I ONLY HAVE ONE WEEK OF SCHOOL! BEST DAY EVER!

I was thinking when I seen a shadow moving quickly away. I'm delirious! I was so caught up in my thoughts when I didn't even realize my surroundings. Luke was calling my name.

"Huh?" I asked still adjusting to my reality.

"I asked if you were happy about spring break?" He said as he gave a concerned look.

"Oh. Heck yeah!" I said.

The lunch hour passed quick as I was checking my social media, yes I know I'm not anti-social.

I just hope that the shadow isn't out for me because it seemed to freak-out when it realized something or someone was probably watching them.

In my classes in the afternoon passed quickly as I was only paying attention to the window as I heard and seen another shadow...WAIT! It was the same one. Okay, calm down Carly, it's nothing just your imagination playing tricks on you. I think that I've seen too many horror movies last night. Yeah, that's why I have the feeling that I'm being stalked.
