An hour or so after Chaos left Casey in the forest, Casey was still there, thinking. Suddenly he had an idea that could possibly solve the problem he was having with the humans being after him. Elated, he left the hiding place in the woods and ran back to the Cullen mansion.
As soon as he entered the house the whole family surrounded him. Instead of accusing him, as Casey had thought they would, there were cries of "Casey, you're OK!" and "Where were you?"
"You…" Casey spoke hesitantly, "You don't think I killed those people?"
Alice laid a comforting hand on his arm, "We know you didn't kill those people."
"But…Edward thought that I…" Casey trailed off, remembering when Edward had yelled at him.
"Edward was just worried because of Bella." Alice said gently, "That's all. I had a vision, however. We know that you're innocent." She paused, "And your plan will work."
"What plan?" Edward asked, surprised.
"I had an idea." Casey responded, "What if we faked my death?"
"It would take the humans off of your trail." Alice bubbled happily, "They'll believe you're dead, and then you can run off and hide so that they're not suspicious. It's foolproof!"
Two hours later, the plan was put into action. Casey's apparently dead body was dropped on the doorstep of the police station.
"What the-" an officer exclaimed upon finding Casey's body, "How did this happen? When did this happen?"
"What's going on?" a second officer joined the first, coming to stand next to him.
"I think he's dead." The first officer bent down and checked the body, "Yes, he's dead. No heartbeat and he's as cold as ice."
"Let's go close the investigations, then." The second officer said, as he went back inside.
"Do you want me to take care of the body?" Esme asked. She was dressed as a policewoman and had just arrived on the scene.
"Yes, yes." The officer said, hurrying away.
Esme picked Casey up, and when no one was looking, ran off into the darkness until they were a safe distance away, where the rest of the family was waiting.
"It worked." Esme confirmed Alice's vision, as Casey smiled.
"Good." Alice grinned, "Now the humans aren't going to come after you anymore."
They went back to the mansion, but after a while, Casey said he had to go. He said he had to meet someone, and he'd be back later. The rest of them agreed it would be idiotic for him to leave now, and risk the humans seeing him, but he left anyway. He had to meet Chaos.
Ayra's plan was foiled again! (She doesn't seem to be doing a very good job with making sure he dies) What's going to happen next? Review!
