Chapter 2

"Dear beloved, we have come here to honor today a young boy who tragically ended his life. He died too soon….."

The pastor went on and on about how much a wonderful person Danny was, and how messed up it was that he ended his life so soon. Honestly I tuned him out, I found it pointless really. Nobody knew exactly why Danny ended his life except Jazz, Tucker, and I and we were completely content keeping it that way. I guess you could say that we covered for Danny until the very end.

But right in the middle of the pastors sentence the casket case slammed shut. Everyone jumped up and a few even screamed. Then we heard laughter, evil almost malicious laughter emitting from the box. Suddenly the lights turned a bloody red color and flickered on and off.

The casket started to shake, it was rattling on the pedestal. Danny broke through the casket.

"Happy Birthday everyone!" Danny said in a cherry voice. Everyone fell silent and I was the first to jump up.

"Danny you're alive?"

Danny started to laugh again and started to float above the ground and eventually high into the air.

"No I'm not alive, I'm dead silly. Don't you know that you're in the funeral?"

Everyone slowly nodded their heads, and a few even said yes out loud.

"Anyhow I am way off of schedule, you guys are supposed to be running and screaming by now. So much to do so little time," Danny sighed and looked around the room "I came back, that is to torture you and make your lives miserable. Anyhow who wants to die first?"

He looked around the room for hands and he found none.

"Well guess this makes my life even more stressful."

He landed delicately on his feet and walked quietly to me.

"Hmm, do I really need anyone else? No not really…. I could use a few more maids but not from here"

He grabbed me by my arm, yanking me off of my chair. I yelled for help but I'm guess that everyone was still in shock.

"Danny man, you don't want to do this" Tucker yelled behind me.

"I think I do Tuck"

He flashed around fast and shot Tucker in the arm with a blaster, shocked I tried to break free of Danny's iron grip.

"Oh dear god what have I gotten myself into…." I thought to myself as I was dragged away.
