When Kevin got off the train it was dark. He wandered around the few streets Holtzmann had pointed out earlier but to his dismay they were empty. He took a seat on a bench up at the subway entrance so he could see the streets.
"Bring me a pack of smokes." Jackson snapped, tossing a few dollars onto the floor. He was laying on the bed and Alice was sitting against the wall a few feet away. "You had better be back in 10 or you'll regret it."
She scrambled to her feet and nodded, taking the money off the floor and pulling on her coat. The cold night air made her feel a bit calmer. She only took a moment to breathe before hurrying to the nearest convenience store.
Kevin saw a figure of a woman exit one of the run down apartment buildings, she looked about Alice's height. He stood and watched as she hurried toward the convenience store. Once she had entered he hurried down to the street and walked over. In the window he saw her, it was Alice, she was pale and had deep bags under her eyes. He watched as she bought a pack of cigarettes from the counter before going to the door. Once she opened it she saw Kevin and froze. As tears built up in her eyes she stuffed the pack of cigarettes into her pocket and brought her hand to her mouth. Kevin held out his hand.
"Let's get out of here Alice." She nodded and ran to him, hugging him tightly.
10 minutes had passed. Jackson stood up and went to the window, opening the blind. He felt annoyed when he saw no-one on the street. He got dressed and went down to the store and asked the clerk if he had seen anyone. The clerk explained how Alice came in and left on the subway with a man that was waiting at the entrance. Jackson bought another pack of cigarettes and thanked him. He lit one as he started back home, giggling to himself.
"She thinks it's going to be that easy." Jackson entered his dingy apartment. He didn't notice an apparition that appeared behind him.
"I haven't seen you since Prom Night," Alex spoke. Jackson turned and jumped at the presence that was responsible for his scars.
"What are you doing here!" Jackson yelped.
"Where is she?" Alex growled.
"She's gone, she left with some man." Alex had finally gained the strength to come after Alice again. But now that she had run away from Jackson the spirit began to form another plan.
"What a pity." Alex laughed, turning into his orb form and rushing into Jackson. The man's body collapsed and was still. After a few moments he crawled to the bathroom and pulled himself up in front of the mirror above the sink. Alex had successfully possessed him. Jackson's eyes were black and his body was completely under Alex's control. "Time for Plan B."
