Wow, thanks for the reviews. I may be getting the hang of this! Anyway, here's Chapter 2
Chapter 2 ~ Back To Waverly Place
It was a bright sunny day. Mason felt rather uncomfortable since this was the place where he lost Alex. And now this was the place where she went missing. But...why didn't Alex tell him in his dreams? Why didn't she say anything about her disappearance?
And what was even more confusing; if he could talk to Alex in his dreams, where is she then?
?: Mason?
Mason turned around to see Alex's younger brother Max.
Max: Oh my God! Mason, it's you!
Mason: Max. Long time no see. Where's Alex?
Max: Wow, where were you? Alex disappeared last year. No one's seen her since.
Mason: But...where did she disappear to?
Max: No one knows. Professor Crumbs sent wizard police all over the Wizard World, but they never found her.
Mason looked crestfallen.
Max: Wait – what happened to you? When Alex lost the wizard competition, you went away? Why?
Mason: Because...we can't date. Werewolves and mortals are forbidden to date. Remember?
Max: Man, rules suck.
Mason: (chuckles) Yeah, they do.
Same old Max.
Mason: I just found out that Alex disappeared this morning.
Max: Really? Hey, why don't I tell mom and dad you're here?
Mason: Um...I don't think that's a good idea Max...
Mason was now worried. How could he face Alex's parents after a year? What if they blamed him for Alex's disappearance? What if they believed Alex ran off with him?
Max: Aw, c'mon Mason! They haven't seen you for a while.
Mason: And I'd like to keep it that way!
?: Max, who're you talking to?
Max's older brother Justin appeared. He looked shocked to see Mason.
Max: Hey, Justin! Mason's back!
Justin said nothing.
Mason: Hello Justin. It's been a while.
Justin: ...Yeah, it has. Um, if you're here to see Alex...
Mason: I know she's been missing.
Justin: I...you do?
Mason: I just found out today. I still can't believe it.
Justin: I know. She disappeared right after the day you left. Why did you leave? Do you know how hard that was on her?
Mason: It was already hard. If I stayed, it would have been awful for both us.
Justin: How...oh, yeah. The dating rule.
Mason: I thought if I left, that Alex could get through it. But I was clearly wrong.
Justin: Yeah. Professor Crumbs said he wouldn't stop looking until they found her. We all thought she ran away because you weren't around. Now...
Max: No! She can't be dead Justin!
Mason froze? Dead?
Justin: What other explanation is there Max? She's been gone for a year! Normally if she ran away, she wouldn't be gone this long!
Max: She's alive, I know it! She tells me in my dreams!
Mason: (shocked) Wh-what did you say?
Max: It sounds dumb, but I see Alex in my dreams! She's alive, but I don't know where she is.
Mason: M...me too!
Max: You don't know where she is either?
Mason: No. I see her in my dreams too.
Max: You do?
Justin: What are you two talking about?
They ignored him.
Mason: She talks to me in my dreams. But she never told me she disappeared.
Max: She didn't?
Justin: Since I have no idea what you two are talking about, I'm gonna go.
Justin leaves.
Max: I know she's not dead, because I wouldn't be able to talk to her if she was.
Mason: Me neither. Something must be happening that can let us talk to her.
Max: What do you think it is?
Mason: I don't know...
One think later...
Max: Why don't we ask dad? He might know!
Mason: Um...OK, if you're sure...
Mason wasn't looking forward, but if it meant finding a way to what was going on, it was a risk he was willing to take.
