Ani decided to go together with Clay and the rest of their friends to Courtneys funeral, despite not having known her. Ani felt like it was the right thing to do. Neither Clay, Jessica or any of the others spoke a word on their walk through the cemetery to the chapel. The first thing Ani saw as they entered the chapel were Courtneys fathers, whose faces were completely red from all the crying. Oh, what a tragedy, thought Ani. Imagine losing your child before dying yourself! Clay and Jessica went over to comfort them.
Courtneys corpse was inside the black coffin, which was sealed off to the audience. The reason why there was no open coffin was the fact that Courtneys corpse looked completely disfigured, and Courtney's date, who had found her that night, had to go into therapy due to that horrifying sight.
Then one of Courtneys fathers started his speech. But as he started, Ani could not listen - she found herself staring at the coffin, and for some reason felt like there were coming screams out of it. Suddenly Ani could not move. She wanted to hold Clay's hand, but could not move her own hand. It felt horrifying - the only thing she could move were her eyelids. For a moment she looked in the right corner of her sight, and she saw something unusual - she saw a person which she recognised from somewhere. Yet she could not seem to tell who that person was, now could she recall where she knew the person from. The person, dressed in a long black coat and a black hat, seemingly noticed that Ani noticed her, and quickly disappeared from her sight.
Ani was then suddenly able to move again.
Courtneys fathers finished their speeches. They then asked if anyone else wanted to say something. No one came forward.
Clay, Justin and Alex were then asked to help bring out the coffin to the burial. They all said yes.
As Clay held on to the coffin, he saw something unusual. He saw two women, dressed in long black coats and black hats. One of the women looked eerily familiar - she had a pale face and had long, curly reddish hair. The other woman had a bit darker skin, black hair and enchanting eyes. He noticed something unusual about her hands - it seemed as if her fingertips were painted blue. As they started to bring the coffin out, the two women quickly departed from the chapel and ran to a black Cadillac, which then drove them away.
As they got the coffin out, Clay couldn't help but think of where he recognised the woman from.
Courtney was then finally buried, and everyone stood there in silence.
As everyone went home, Clay then looked around and said "Guys, I want to visit Hannah before we go home. I haven't visited her for a very long time." They all agreed and walked to her grave.
They arrived at her grave.

Read the tombstone.
But one thing was unusual - a big hole had been dug at her grave!
Clay lost control.
"What is this?" He screamed, while Jessica just looked on, not knowing what to do, while Clay fell down to his knees.
Ani looked at the hole. It looked so weird, as it didn't look normal.
"Who does such a thing?" Alex asked.
"I have no idea", Justin answered.
As Clay got on his feet again, he noticed the black Cadillac driving by them.
