~Ian~
"Leia?" I asked. I could tell it was a dream now, but why wasnt I waking up?
She nodded. "You guys are right.... Kind of."
Alyssa looked at me. "She says Calvin killed her... But he isnt causing everything else."
"Yes," Leia continued. "His name is Chase. I think you should be able to stop what hes doing, if you can "chase" him down." she laughed and winked.
"Oh geez," I smirked. "Even I know thats a cheesey joke."
"Now Ill be checking in on you guys occasionally," Leia said.
Alyssa and I nodded.
"And be warned, hes willing to do ANYTHING to destroy you two. Keep on eye on everything."

I snapped my eyes open and woke up, staring into Alyssas wide eyes. "Please tell me you werent having the dream-"
"Where Leia told us about Chase?" I finished for her. I sighed. "Yeah. I did."

~Catherine~
"Isnt this sooo romantic?"
"Wha? Ohh uh yeah." my boyfriend muttered.
I felt like facepalming, I only went out with him because he was cute but now that Im actually dating him hes such a bore. I turned aroubd and he wasnt there. "Baby?"
I heard a guy scream. "Honey?!!" I called frantically. I took a few steps back before I felt hands clamp over my mouth and i uttered the loudest screech I could. Repeatedly, at least five times. I was spun around and saw the attackers face, but he was unfamiliar to me. I saw his balled up fist coming at me and everything went black.

~Alyssa~
Ian was laughing, and so was I, about things that didnt really make any sense. I stopped, trying to focus my hearing on something I thought I heard.
"Shhh," I clamped a hand over Ian's mouth. He raised an eyebrow questionably as I lifted my head up. Yes, a scream... Was that Catherines scream???
I jumped up, throwing on my sneakers.
"What are you doing?!" Ian yelled, scrambling to get up and put his own shoes on. And then he heard it, too. "Is that Catherine??"
I nodded worriedly, and he grabbed my hand. "Alyssa," he warned.
"No," I gulped. "We need to go get them."
I started as a sprint, but of course Ian got ahead of me, so when I slowed down after five minutes to catch my breath, he stopped too.
"Hey," he called to me. "Theres a lot of footprints over here. And a shoe." He picked it up to show me and it was, indeed, Catherines.
And I couldn't shake the odd feeling that we were being watched...?
