Alex's body stopped and smiled at him, but the expression was nothing like the million he'd seen her give before it. It was colder. Distant. She lifted he hand and pressed her palm to his chest.<br/><br/>"You're the one I sensed...." she purred, "I'm sorry... I can't allow you to stop me. They have to pay for what they did to me. I can't allow my parents to go through the rest of their lives thinking I killed myself. I'll return her in one piece. I promise."<br/><br/>As she spoke, her hand on his chest grew colder... and colder.... Ice spread out from her hand, sealing it to his chest so he couldn't pull away. the ice began to spread, coating over his skin in an unbreakable sheen.
