"Death in itself is nothing; but we fear,
To be we know not what, we know not where." –John Dryden
Keith waited impatiently for the boy Broussard wanted her to talk to. After all, he was the dead girl's friend before her suicide, so it was possible he knew something that would probably solve the case. In order to pass the time, she did everything: adding rubber bands to her rubber band ball, doodle stick figures on post-it notes, watching brief moments on Jerry Springer, which was on the local channel contained television just outside her door into the entrance hall, read the Dear Abby and Miss Manners columns in the paper, play solitaire with a beat up deck of cards, and everything else you may brainstorm in order to suppress boredom.
Finally, she heard a knock on her door.
"Come on in," Keith called out at the person behind the wood and frosted glass door.
In response, the door creaked open and an African-American boy with glasses and wearing a red beret entered the room.
"Tucker Foley, I presume?"
The boy, Tucker, simply nodded.
"You know, you can sit down next to me; I don't intend you to just stand up like doing stretches at Jazzercise, dammit!" Keith told Tucker after he simply stood up looking stressed out and nervous for a couple of minutes. The boy obeyed, taking his seat in a blue leather chair in front of Keith's desk and taking a huge breath of air.
"Lollipop?" she offered.
"Uh, no thank you." Tucker replied. "Sorry to be impolite, but I suggest we finish this as soon as possible since I only got thirty minutes before I need to go home to get changed. I even have it on my PDA…"
"For what occasion?" Keith asked.
"Sam's funeral…" He answered sadly.
"Oh… Well," she said, "I guess we should get this done as quickly as possible, alright?"
"Yes, Detective Keith."
Keith cleared her throat. "Okay… can you tell me what happened the last month or so before she killed herself?"
Tucker started sniffling and got himself a Kleenex before starting.
"As far as I can tell, it all started shortly after another friend of ours, Mike "Cubby" Henderson, was murdered during a mugging."
"Oh, yeah- Detective Hamburg investigated Cubby Henderson's case recently- still is, actually- oops, sorry for interrupting; please go on!" Keith interrupted.
"Anyway, Cubby had recently died and Sam and I were just walking on our way home from school when Dash, this kid at school, and his friend Kwan stepped in front of us in preparation of taunting us for Cubby's death and that stuff when he asked us to come walking with him and Kwan towards the park. Strangely, Sam and I actually decided to go with them, possibly because we needed company as we exchanged ruth for our friend's death.
"However, instead of going to the park, we walked towards the cemetery. There, we learned about the legend of Danny Fenton."
"Whose Danny Fenton? I've heard that name recently…" Keith interrupted again.
"Danny Fenton was this kid that lived during the sixties. In 1969, he turned fourteen and fell in love with and "luckily" hooked up with a beautiful girl whose name is supposedly Paulina according to the legend. However, Paulina was just pretending to like him since she actually had another boyfriend and in reality didn't even like him. She even allegedly wanted him gone too since she lied to her father Danny had been beating her for sometime and had recently even sexually assaulted her. Because of this, he called some of his friends to group together at his house with some gardening tools. Afterward, they walked towards the Fenton household and abducted the sleeping Danny.
"Unfortunately for Danny, his captors would spare no mercy, as his final moments were a pseudo-Hell, to sum it up nicely. They tortured him by hitting him, kicking him, setting his hair on fire, and eventually going too far by even beheading him in the end. According to legend, the police found the crime scene to be one of their more gruesome.
"The murders, along with the girl, Paulina, were either sentenced to life or death during their trials. But that's when it gets really weird: Paulina started claiming she saw Danny in her jail cell and everywhere else at every waking moment, following her everywhere. She eventually went insane and was found dead a couple of nights later. After that, all of her father's friends and him eventually died one by one, either through joint suicide or going insane and found dead from terror in their cells.
"Rumor has it Danny killed them for revenge, and he'll defend his final resting place as that's the only way he'll be able to eternally rest in place without disturbing. If anyone vandalizes his grave, especially around the anniversary of his death at 11:00 pm, he'll possibly stalk him or her until they eventually are punished themselves, and it's always from death. For example, in 1988, a college student urinated on his grave and died in a car crash a week later.
"Anyway, after Dash told us about Danny Fenton, he gave a dare that one of us stayed overnight at Danny's grave, vandalized it by say, carving our name in it or something like that, and survived without losing our sanity. As it turned out, it was the anniversary of his death. I immediately chickened out, but Sam, who was definitely annoyed at this point, agreed to do it in an attempt to point out the curse wasn't real. Then we agreed we would all come back later in the day to go through it, and we all left.
"While Sam was the gravesite, the rest of us stayed in the front in Dash's mom's car. We waited 11:10pm until we heard her screaming bloody murder. When she finally came up to us, she started sobbing and saying that she heard a voice yelling "I'LL HAVE MY REVENGE FOR THIS!" as soon as she destroyed the gravestone with this sledgehammer. I had never seen her like that before, so it really freaked me out wondering what really happened over there.
"Well, that's all I can really say right now. However, before I leave, I want to give you Sam's old diary, which I found some pages about what happened afterward."
"Thank you very much, Tucker. You may go now." Keith smiled.
And with that, Tucker exited the room and Keith picked up the diary.
Interesting… she thought.

End of Chapter One
A/N: We've already gone by two-fifths of the projected sections so far! Amazing! The next couple of chapters will be almost entirely devoted to the diary Sam wrote about Danny and all that type of stuff before her suicide, so get ready! (BTW- Don't send me death threats for having Danny die like that; his death is vital for the storyline to go along properly, anyway. --)
I hope you enjoyed it (even though Danny did die in a pretty nasty way), and please review before you go. Everyone who reviews earns toast as a little treat from me. (PS- please tell me if this should go up to a "R" rating or I should edit anything as the fanfic goes along; I don't want to have a story deleted.)
Ja Ne!
