"I never expected that you of all people would be willing to form a contract with me. I mean, you don't seem like the type, but I do sense something in you." Alice said to Casper as they sat together on a park bench. The moon was full, but it didn't outshine the lights of the city that surrounded them.
"Well, when you came to me and told me what actually happened to Mackenzie, I couldn't just sit around and do nothing. She was one of my best friends." Casper explained.
"I'm glad that you are willing to fight. It is such a noble cause. Now you can join your friend Jordan. She also recently formed a contract with me." Alice said.
"What? Are you serious? She and Nora never tell me anything anymore! I feel so left out. This is just like freshmen year!" Casper said. "I was especially shocked when you told me that they had been involved in these demon hunts for a while now. I can't believe they would keep something like that from me." he said sadly. "Oh well. Now that I'm in, it's time for those guys to finally pay for excluding me!" Casper declared.
"What are you talking about? What are you planning to do?" Alice asked. Casper rose from the park bench and turned to face Alice.
"I'm going to prove to Nora and Jordan that they do need me in this fight." he said with conviction. "That way they will never hide anything from me ever again."
