"Lonnie?" Liz asked.
"Yup," Alex replied. "And later I found out the one that grabbed me from behind was Rath."
"What happened next?" Liz asked. "Why didn't you tell me, or Max what happened?"
"Because, I thought it was a dream," Alex said.

Alex woke up covered in sweat, gasping for breath. He looked around and found he was lying in bed in his room. As he began to calm down Alex sat on the edge of the bed and began to wonder what had happened.
'What the hell?' Alex thought. 'What happened?'
'Nothing happened,' a voice said.
Alex jumped out of bed frantically looking around the room.
"Who said that?" he asked. "Is anyone there?"
Alex waited for a response. All he heard was silence.
"Great, now I'm hearing things," Alex said as he sat back down.
Suddenly memories of walking from Isabel and being attacked came back to him. He quickly jumped from his bed to get dressed.
'I have to tell the others,' Alex thought to himself.
'They'll never believe you,' a voice said.
Alex froze as he heard the voice.
"Alright," Alex said. "Who's there?"
'They'll never believe you,' the voice repeated.
"What's going on?" Alex asked.
'They'll never believe you,' the voice repeated.
Alex then realized the voice was coming from inside his head.
"What's happening to me?" Alex asked clutching his head with both hands.
'They'll never believe you,' the voice repeated.
"Why won't they believe me?" Alex asked.
'Think about it, you go to them in the middle of the night and tell them,' the voice said. 'They'll simply tell you that you had a bad dream and they will be right because that's all that happened.'
"Isabel will believe me," Alex said starting to get dressed.
'She uses you,' the voice said.
"That's not true," Alex said.
'You mean nothing to her,' the voice said.
"I'm her friend," Alex said. "She cares about me."
'Apparently not as much as she does Grant,' the voice said.
Alex stopped when he heard this.
'She told you straight to your face that she wasn't ready for a relationship with any guy,' the voice said. 'And yet the very same moment she said that, she goes and falls for the geologist.'
Alex remained silent not know what to say.
'Do you remember her birthday?' the voice asked. 'How did she look?'
"She was beautiful," Alex said. "I always said she looked good in red."
'But she didn't dress that way because it was her birthday, she dressed that way because she was meeting Grant,' the voice said. 'Would Isabel dress nicely for you?'
"I...I...," Alex said.
'Do you remeber the sparks that flew between Isabel and Grant when they first met?' the voice asked. 'Did any sparks fly between you and Isabel?'
Alex simply remained silent.
'Because she doesn't love you Alex,' the voice said. 'She never has and she never will.'
Alex sat on his bed, a confused look on his face. The more he thought about what he heard, the more it began to make sense. Isabel didn't love him, of course she cared about him, a great deal perhaps. But she didn't love him. She had proven that time and time again. All he was to her was a shoulder to cry on, someone you could talk to, someone you could trust. Just a friend.
'It never happened,' the voice said.
"Because it was just..." Alex started.
'A dream,' the voice finished.

"And that's how it started," Alex said. "For the longest time I thought the voice in my head was me. And I went on as if nothing had happened."
"Who was the voice in your head?" Liz asked.
"Who do you think?" Alex asked.
"Khivar," Liz said.
