Twisted Identity

Chapter #1

Danny's POV

It was Friday and it was late at night. It was cold and bitter outside in the sweet November air. The night sky as beautiful as ever. Thousands of stars and a full moon appeared in the sky. I remember these nights as a child. I remember staring out my window and thinking how perfect these nights were. This was back in the day when I didnt have a care in the world. I was Young and so innocent. Things are a lot different now. When I was young I had always wanted to be noticed, I wanted people to know my name. I have that now, however I never imagined it to be quite like this. The name "Danny Desai" is associated with words like "Murderer" "Killer and "Sociopath". Why you ask? At the young age of eleven I took a red jump rope to my aunt Tara`s neck. It was a bloody mess. I knew exactly what I was doing. This woman raided my nightmares, she was my biggest fear and most importantly she was the enemy.

Soon after I was locked away in a juvinal detention center for five years. Its a rough place. I spent every morning grieving, thinking of the better days, with my family and my two best friends Danny and lacy. I kept to myself, praying to god that someone didn`t pick a fight with little ol` me. I wasn`t strong enough to fight the older kids in there, and I spent every night cold and alone. I had many sleepless nights where I had drowned myself in my own tears. Those days are over, I came back about two months ago, however no one has been able to cope with the "Town`s killer" coming back.

Looking out my window now, things dont feel the same. A million thoughts running through my mind. The first night of my return, I went to a party at this girl, Regina Cranes what I found strange about this girl is that when I met her, she had on the exact necklace that my aunt had wore for years before she died. It brought back old and disturbing memories. I showed up at her party that night, big crowd of people, however, no place for me. I came home that night with Lacey. The girl of my dreams. It was a little past midnight and I received a text from Regina who explained that she knew why I`d killed my aunt. This is something I revealed to no one, so I found this message to be nothing but strange.

That next morning I woke up and Lacey was gone. I walked downstairs and outside and standing outside my front door was my aunts necklace. I shut the door behind me and in the background I could hear our television softly. I walked slowly into my living room to find my mom sitting there on the couch watching the news. On the television was a news report of a murder of Regina Crane, the girl I`d just met less than twenty four hours ago. The news reporter had stated that murder weapon has yet to have been found and that the only thing missing from the Crane residence was the necklace Regina wore around her neck. I stared down at the necklace I was holding in my hand. I knew I had been set up. Now I stand here thinking, "Whats going to happen next?" "What will I have to do?" and "Where do I go from here?"

Suddenly, there was a hard knocking on my front door. A loud voice calls. "Open up, Its the police!" I stand here now in panic mode. I feel sweat dripping from my forehead. I could hear myself breathing heavier and heavier. A million more thoughts are racing through my mind. I look down and see the lock handle l to my window. I started to think clearly. I look behind me to see my mom sprinting for the door. I hear the words "We found the murder weapon in the Crane case." "Where is Danny Desai!" I had nothing to left to lose. I open up the latch on my window, pull one leg through. I could feel the breeze hit me. It was like a slap in the face. I slid the rest of my body out the window and raced to my car. I opened the door as quickly as I can without making as much noise. I sat down and through the keys into the ignition and I drove away as fast as possible without a trace of my absences. I turned up my radio as loud as it can possibly go. I listened to the music that was pounding in my ears, paying attention to the lyrics. Putting my memories on pause and fighting back the tears.

I swear, I had driven 100 miles. I saw a closed down muffler shop on the road. I quickly pulled in, parked my beaten down old truck, pulled the keys out of the truck. I cried hysterically. It was dark, not a star in the sky, not one headlight in my sight. All I could hear is the sound of crickets and my weeping. I was in the middle of no where. I couldn't even tell you what mile road I`m on. I screamed out.

"God, I can`t do this anymore!"

A loud ringing sound pounded into my ears. My entire body jolted for a moment, scared. I came to the realization that this ringing sound was my phone. I glance at the caller ID. Restricted. I wondered who would be calling my phone with a restricted number. I answered.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Son?" the caller asked.

I was very confused.

"Who is this?" I asked.

"I`m you`re father. Its me...dad." He said.

I was in shock, but yet very angry at the same time. My tone of voice drastically changed. I was stern.

"My father died 6 months ago! Who are you?!" I yelled out and asked again.

The man sighed and took a moment to respond.

"Listen, I know this is hard for you to process right now. But if you come to me I promise I will explain everything. I'm not joking around Danny." He said.

"Why should I listen to you?" I questioned him.

"Because you have no where else to turn to and you have nothing left to lose. I can be the answer to all of your problems and the answer to all of your questions, but only if you let me. Please Danny! I'm trying to help you! You are everything I have left!" He said.

I sighed and thought in silence for a moment. He was right.

"What`s your address?" I asked him.

"I live in Connecticut, in the closest nearby apartment complex, on your first exit. The number is 413." He told me.

I processed that for a moment and a memory sparked back into my mind.

"Oh my god!" I said out loud.

"Something wrong?" he asked.

I thought in dead silence. Listening to only this mans heavy breathing.

"No, I'm on my way. I will see you in the morning. Thank you." I said.

"No Danny, Thank you. Goodbye...For now."

The call ended. I through my keys back into the car and drove away, turning right on the freeway. On my way to Connecticut .
