"Oh my God," I breathed.
Leias corpse lay on a metal table.
Alyssa stepped forwards. "Look at her chest."
The body was unclothed, which made sense but still. I mean, how is it NOT awkward to be in a room with your girlfriend and your good friends naked corpse????
I stepped forward to see what Alyssa was talking about. "Its.... " I actually wasnt exacty sure what it is. "Its a puncture wound? Looks like she was stabbed."
"I know," Alyssa shuddered. All of a sudden her eyes grew wide. "Did you feel that breeze?!" she asked nervously.
I shook my head. "um, no..."
She grabbed my arm and buried her head in my shoulder. "A joke is much needed here."
"Umm.." I thought. "Wow, good thing I shaked that necrophilia last summer."
That made Alyssa laugh, and I felt better. She hugged me.
I looked over her shoulder and gasped.
"Alyssa, look."
On a white board, there was writing.
"Hey guys," I read off of it. "Youre on the right track. Im watching over you."
"Are you as freaked out as I am?!" Alyssa whimpered.
"I dont think Leia has left us pernamently," I whispered.

Daniel and I sat in my car, planning the places where we should go. "Ooh, she loved this little antique shop down on Union Avenue, lets go there," I suggested.
"Good idea," Daniel nodded.
I pulled off the side of the road and continued onto Union. I pulled up on thr curb. "You stay," I told Daniel. "Im just going in for a sec."
Last time I was here I felt this really weird presence. I came when I was wondering around before I got to Ians. I touched things, trying to pick up any senses- but the strange aura was gone.
I came across an old typewriter. Leia loved typing on it, and shed keep the stories. She had given me quite a few, I should put them in the scarpbook! There was no evidence that could help us prove Calvin killed Leia, so the briefcase I held was going to have to go empty for a while. But then I noticed a large stack of papers sitting in the tray. I quickly flipped through them.
"Oh my God," I murmured. "Leia isnt gone. Not completely." i shoved the papers into the briefcase. It was an account of what happened before and who killed her. I couldnt even check to see if it was Calvin, Id wait for Ian and Alyssa. I frantically looked around. Was it me or was there.... A.... Fire?!
"HELP!" i screamed.
The flame consumed everything, and left me panicked. I pounded on the door. "Daniel!!! Daniel!!!"
I barely heard him call my name as everything went black and I hit the ground.
