Rian's POV:
For the rest of the day, Alex acted weird. I quickly got over seeing Cassadee in the mirror, I knew it was from finally being alone and the connection between us is really strong. But Alex, he would barely look at us, expecially me. He wouldn't even look me in the eyes.

After we got done talking with Hopeless Records, and doing some recordings, I pulled Alex aside to talk to thim. He wasn't acting like himself.

"Alex, whats wrong? You been acting weird since we got here." He was staring at the floor, "nothing. I'm fine." "No you aren't Alex, you can tell me." He shakes his head and steps back from me. "Alex?" "Its nothign Rian, I swear."

He walks off and I stare at the wall across from me. I run a finger over the ring, the connection was pouring through me. "I promise we can talk tonight Cassadee," I whisper to myself even though no one was in the hall with me.

Alex's POV:
I go in my car, I had left it here last time we were here actually. I sigh and rest against the seat, closing my eyes. Did I see and hear, was that real? Or was it from how long we been traveling? It has to be from jet-lag.

I turn my car on and drive to my house. I get to my house and its empty and quiet. I go straight to my couch in my living room and lay down. It has been a long day. It was just my imagination.

Rian's POV:
I get home, and as soon I close and lock the door, I smile to myself. "Cassadee, we can talk now. All we want." I feel a wave of warmth take over me and I close my eyes, smiling more. It was the way I felt back at the house.

"How was your day Rian?," I could hear her voice in my house all around me. "It was good, busy. You know, the usual." "I know how that goes," she giggles. I laugh and walk into my living room.

I sit on my couch, the warmth filling me, it was nice. We talked for hours, about random things, like what we did at the house. But then a question came to mind.

"Hey, Cassadee?" "Yeah Rian?" "Earlier today, Alex looked really freaked out today. He would barely look or talk to me. Do you know why?" She didn't respond for a bit. "Cassadee?" "He's just tired Rian, jet-lagged, you know?" "Are you sure? He was really freaked out about something when he came out of the bathroom." "It was nothing Rian, do you trust me?" "Of course I trust you." "Because I would never hurt someone close to you." "I know that, I believe you Cassadee."

Alex's POV:
I don't know what time it was, but I felt a cool breeze pass over my face. I slowly open my eyes, I was so tired. I felt the cool breeze again and I sit up. The last time I felt that, it was in the bathroom before I saw Cassadee.

I slowly get up off the couch and look around, the moon light shinning in through the windows. "Cassadee? Is that you? I know I saw you in the mirror today." The cool breeze kept going through the room, giving me chills down my spine.

"You made Rian question me," I hear her whisper through out the room. "What? No I didn't." "YES YOU DID!," she screams and I cover my ears. "I swear I didn't!!" "You made Rian worry about you! He questioned me! He questioned my trust with him!! Your breaking it!!" With each scream I would yell in pain, it was ear peircing and I fell to my knees. "Cassadee stop!! Please!!"

"Please!? You want me have pitty for you!? It was your idea to stop Rian from leaving the day after my funeral! It was you who didn't want him to be left alone! It was you who told him to forget about me! ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!! RIAN IS MINE!!"

I yell in pain, tears running down my face now. I hold my head tighter and curl up. "I promise I'll stop!!," I cry out. "I don't believe you!" "We were friends Cassadee! I helped Rian out the night he proposed to you!" "That doesn't matter to me anymore Alex. Because of you, your breaking my bond with Rian. A bond I been working on for two months. He'll bring me back, he doesn't know it yet. He's making me stronger. And with you in the way, its ruining my plan." "What are you trying to do," I whimper.

"I'll be strong enough to do anything I want, not come back to life of course. With Rian as my aid, no one can stop me. He just thinks I want him with me so we can still be together. But I'm actually using him. And don't even think about convincing him that I'm evil. He won't believe you. He'll only believe me. And if you, or anyone else gets in my way, I will come after you. This is my only warning. SO STAY OUT OF MY WAY!!!"

Everything goes back to normal and, no cool breezes, no voices, nothing. I was laying on my floor, curled up in a ball holding my head. It was real. It was all real. Rian was in danger, but he would never listen to me. He believes Cassadee isn't evil, that she's still sweet and his soul mate. But she doesn't even love him now. She's just using him.

The ring. He hasen't taken it off since he got it yesterday. That has to be whats connecting them. I know she said she'll hurt anyone who gets in her way, but I have to get Zack, Jack, and Matt involved. They can help me bring Rian back to the real world. I won't tell them about Cassadee, but I think all we have to do is bring him back to reality.
