This isn't the end of Jennifer's story. She's found in Artemis's story "The Unfound" so, this sort of leads into whats been going on there so far.

Blindfolded

Epilogue

'Well... first journal entry as a twenty year old... first journal entry from college too. How exciting! Kind of. I don't even know what I'm in college for yet... I'm just... in classes I thought would be interesting. Ha.

'Oh, forgot to mention, first journal entry in my new journal too... Dad stuck to his word, surprisingly enough. Especially since he told me about the complimentary journal when I was... what? Fifteen/Sixteen? I guess he wrote it down somewhere. Either way, it's a really nice journal. All fancy and... not a notebook.

'But hey, my dorm-mate is really nice. So, that's a plus. And heeey, met a new cute boy. Hellooo Micheal. Heehee. Did I just write 'heehee'? What ever, I'm laughing. And oh my, there seems to be more dead people than ever before!

'Seriously though, it's getting ridiculous. And I keep seeing more things too... and suddenly, Dallas has freaky mind-powers... like sending mental messages. I had a whole conversation with him yesterday that way. Can't say it was a nice conversation, but we had one either way.

'Apparently, mom's shocked that I'm in college (gee, thanks mom), but, I think every parent goes into shock once they realize their kids are now on their own. And are probably drinking their little hearts out. Hell, Lilly's mom went into shock when she announced she was getting married. But I think we all did. The weirdo filmed our reactions. She claims it's the funniest video she's ever recorded. Yeah, okay.

'Lessee... what else... oh, Dallas has been acting strange...er. Very secretive that boy is. But I'm so sneaky, I kind of know what he's been up to. Apparently, he's watching over me, and, when he finds time, keeping an eye on someone else too. Who, I have no idea. I just know it's a guy a few years older than me... 'cause that's all I could weasle out of Johnny. Probably shouldn't have been hassling him in the first place, but... I really wanted to know.

'...Oh, the guilt. Kind of. Still, I wonder who it is though.

'Maybe he'll tell me... maybe. Eeeh, I miss Chicago. I want my freezing weather back!'

'Okay, I'm a little reversed I suppose (P.S. Michael is mine. Yes! But, I dunno... there's just something about him... I wouldn't mind breaking up with him and keep him as a friend instead), out of no where I decide that, hell, I should go to Tulsa. For no reason, really. It's been... oh... a very very long time since I've been down there. And hey, more fun news: 26 years old (as of a few days ago) and I just now picked my major. Just now. Don't know why it took me so damn long and I'm definitely wasting my money and my family's, but... I just wasn't sure what I was going to do, okay?

'I wanna sit around and... surround my self with crime. And possibly more dead people. Aka Crime Scene Investigation, thank you very much.

'Oh, I'm not in Tulsa yet, by the way. Haven't left. It's dark, I don't like it... Alright, you know what, I wanna leave, 'cause Mike's getting on my nerves... Leaving now. Might be awhile before I write in here again, but, when I do, you'll obviously know. Oh... wait, he walked away. Stealing the time I have.

'Forgot to mention, Dally's still around but he still hasn't told me what the hell he's been up too and apparently, Johnny only gives in once... ya know, I should piss Dallas off and hang out at his grave or something. So, ha ha, right in his face... of course, he could always leave. Scratch that, no graveyards, please and thank you. I can't be in a graveyard without Dallas around and if he leaves, I'll be mauled by dead people. And why the hell would I want that to happen? Hm?

'Alright, that's it, leaving. Write later.'

"Are you sure he doesn't know?"

"Have I ever been wrong about that before?"

"...Actually, yeah. Remember his birthday?"

"You swore you'd never bring that up. Besides, I learn from my mistakes. I haven't been drinking around him this time. So, I'm positive he has no idea we're... well-"

"Stalking his part-time charge?"

"...You could say that."

"And you're sure Jennifer knew what she was talking about?"

"She got it out of Johnny, I would think so."

"...We don't know what he looks like."

"I do."

"How?"

"...I kinda... followed Dally the last time he came here."

"And he didn't notice?"

"Oh, hell no. I have more skill than that, thanks. I mean, I've only ever seen the guy's back, but, I know where he lives and where he works. And I know he's not at either of those places and is, instead, here."

"But we've been hiding behind this tree for like... an hour."

"Yeah, well, that's because your daughter would see us even if no one else could, thanks to Dallas."

"I still don't get why she came down here-"

"Shh, look. That's him."

Alice peeked around the tree, looking to where Julie was pointing after making sure her daughter wasn't anywhere around. "He kinda... looks like Dallas."

"...Nuh-uh."

"Oh, come on! Look at him! He's like his fuckin' carbon copy!"

"...Not really."

"Julie."

"Alice."

"You're in denial."

"Maybe it's his... nephew."

Alice raised an eyebrow and stared at the girl, who looked back with a 'well... it could happen' look. "Cousin?... Long lost twin."

"I think it's-"

"What're you doing?"

Screaming, Alice and Julie toppled over, in a failed attempt to move away from the voice. "Nothing," Julie said meekly, looking up at Dallas, who was glaring down at them. "Just... looking at some... Oklahoma stars... and stuff."

"You're stalking people."

"...When we aren't looking at stars," Alice said with a shrug.

"You two just couldn't let it go, could you? You've been losin' your minds over this for almost ten years, haven't you?"

"Well, you make it sound a bit extreme when you say it that way," Julie pointed out, earning an exasperated look from the blonde hood standing over them.

"How long've you been trailin' after my son huh?"

"Only a... wait... what?"

"Ha! I was right! Long lost twin my ass, he'd be older than that you idiot," Alice said, hitting Julie's arm as she sat up.

"Your... son? Since when did you have a son?"

"If I hadn't died, it would have been since 1967," Dallas said, his hands in the pockets of his jacket.

"Hey... you never mentioned a son when you were around," Alice said with a frown. Dallas sighed and looked up at the top of the tree.

"I didn't know about 'im. Didn't find out until later. Happy?"

"...But who's-"

"Look, I gotta job to do an' so do you. So get outta here, huh?"

The two girls glanced at each other, before disappearing completely.

'This is probably going to be the messiest page out my entire journal. I'm just... kinda pissed off. Hell, I'm not even sure if I'm really that pissed off. I think I'm more of a mix between pissed off, sad and frustrated. Not that that's any better. I probably should have kept my mouth shut. I didn't have to be the fuckin' go between... I didn't have to mention anything, I could have had a normal conversation...

'But Dallas started telling me all of this stuff and it's like an impulse to pass a message on now. I should have stopped when I had the chance, but... things just kind of got out of control. I mean, he thought I was doing it to be mean... now he just thinks I'm deranged, which... isn't much better.

'I'm just tired of having people think I'm crazy. I'm pretty sure even Michael thinks I'm crazy... I think he's been messin' around with black haired chick too though, so, hell, maybe he's thinking a lot more than that.
'But, it's not my fault! I didn't want to make him upset.

'If Dallas were more patient, I could have put it off until we had at least had a somewhat decent conversation but, oh no, it had to be done right then. Not like my social life matters. Dallas has been nice enough to leave me alone though... I think he took the hint when I started crying and threw a rock at him.

'So, in the past few minutes, I've accidentally broke a pencil, hurt my hand (it got blood all over my jeans and it's stinging like hell) and... I just ripped a gash in this page with a pen.

'I don't think I've even mentioned who the hell I'm talking about yet. Winston, Dallas's son. I didn't really make a good impression in the first place I guess, since I fainted on him. But that wasn't my fault. I normally wouldn't have fainted, but with all of the emotion from Dallas and everyone else in the room... I guess I was a bit overwhelmed and... fainted. I've never fainted in my life.

'Great place for a first time fainting... I'm kind of calming down though. But my hand hurts really bad... I should probably ask someone to take a look at it... eh, I dunno it's probably not that bad.

'I take that back. I'll go have someone check it out. I'm sure one of those guys will know what to do... I'm pretty sure they've been hurt and bleeding more times than they could count. They better know what do to. I need to get the blood out of my pants too. Damn it, why is my life so fuckin' complicated...?

'Love, The Crazy Woman.'

If you're wondering about her job and college... I always imagined that Jen would have problems staying to committed to something like that and she may just drop out all together and do something else entirely. But I haven't decided that yet.
