~*Alex*~
Someone found Carter last night. It was all over the news this morning... he was in an alleyway, unconscious with his neck broken. He was dead. I think that somehow he's happier now. He can see Terry again... The funeral's in a few days.
I was sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast when I heard the news on the radio. After that I suddenly lost my appetite and dashed over to Clear's house. I was scared as hell, knowing I was next, knowing that this would never let up until the two of us were dead.
"Clear! Clear, it's Alex!!" I called, pounding on her front door. "Clear!"
She came to the door, sleepy and barely awake. "Alex? What happened?"
"Carter... Carter's... dead..." I squeaked out.
"What?"
"Dead... Carter... Last night," I said, still stuttering.
Clear let me inside and I waited in the kitchen while she went back upstairs. Soon she came back downstairs, dressed and looking lovely (but then again, I always think she looks great), and gave me the most serious look I've ever seen.
"So... He's dead."
"Yeah."
Clear sat down. "Just the two of us... Alex we have to tell someone about this," she said.
"What?"
"Someone else has to know!" she exclaimed. "What if one of us dies? Who's going to intervene for the other? We need someone else!"
She was right. I had to admit, she had a point. "But who?" I asked. "Who's gonna believe us? Who's actually going to take us seriously?"
"Someone has to," Clear said. "We just have to find them."
"But how long will that take?"
"I don't know," she admitted. "But we have to try."
*^Clear^*
I really did not know what I was thinking. I mean, I knew that anyone we told about this would think we were nuts, but I can't deal with this just with Alex. We both need someone else.
"We could tell my parents," Alex suggested.
"Maybe... hey, what about thay guy at the morgue?" I said.
"What about him?"
"Well, he seemed to know a whole lot about this. He'll probably believe us," I explained.
"Yeah," Alex said. "We'll go talk to him today."

I don't trust that guy. But I'm going along with Clear because this may be our only option.
