Ok, this is the last chapter in the Duke & Alex series. Hope u peoples like it.

***********************

The days droned on for Alex without Duke around. Prince had remained dormant, and hadn't been violent as of late. Alex guessed that he was to busy planning out the wedding details. He sat at the chair in front of his vanity, gazing out to the falling snow. It was now early November, and this was the fist snow fall of the season. His cell phone vibrated, and he grabbed it. Alex flipped it open, and read the text message.

‘Alex, I just wanted to make sure you were ready for tonight. Make sure you've packed, and make sure you have the ticket when you leave.' It said. Alex grinned, then texted back

‘I did Duke. I'm not completely incompetent. The suitcase is ready, and hidden under my bed, with the ticket right next to it.' He hit the send button. A moment later, he got the reply.

‘alright. Just making sure. I would be crushed if you missed the train.' the phone read. Alex put the phone in his skirt pocket, and headed downstairs. Being a cold day, he had a black hoodie, a knee length skirt, and fuzzy black snow boots. It was a Tuesday, and quite possibly his last day of school, ever.

"Are you ready dear?" Rosalina asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready.." The chauffer had a day off, family emergency. Rosalina had volunteered to take Alex to school in his absence. The two stepped outside into the frigid air, and walked towards her car.

They got in, started the car, and turned on the heat. The drive to school was silent. Alex was increasingly nervous of his and Duke's new life...

'were will we live? What happens when the money runs out?' Alex questioned himself. The car stopped in front of the looming building, and Alex stepped out.

"Thanks rosy." He said before rushing off. He had his hands in the hoodie pockets as he ran into the building, his book bag bouncing on his back.

The school day was torturous. The clock ticked agonizingly slow, with Alex watching it constantly. He probably didn't hear a single thing anyone said to him. The end of the school day came and went, and Alex sat alone in his room again. The lights were off, and the light outside was fading. Alex was depressed. He had sat there for five hours, and the wall clock chimed 8:00. Capulet walked into the room, and shut the door behind him. Alex looked up from his lap and gazed Blankley at him.

"Alex. I've taken the liberty of planning you and Prince a romantic evening. I already told him, and he's waiting downstairs for you." Capulet spoke, swishing his tail.

"no." Alex said quietly.

"What was that? Speak up." Capulet asked.

"No!" Alex shouted. Capulet just smiled. Alex was greatly confused.

"Prince told me, of the little...'encounter' you two had in the shower." Capulet began. Alex went wide eyed at this.

"He told me, to inform you, that if you aren't dressed and downstairs in 10 minutes, it will happen again." Alex looked at his father in horror. He was threatening to have him raped.

"Fine...I'll go you sick bastard." Alex said.

"Get out so I can change." Capulet grinned evilly, then left the room, closing the door behind him. Alex stood up, and entered his closet, turning on the lights. Alex sifted through his formal wear. He grabbed the torso-tight floor length pink gown, with a black sheer overlay covered in sparkles. Alex also grabbed the black heals, and white gloves to match.

He threw them on, added a necklace, and pinned his hair up. Alex noticed the time and quickly walked downstairs. Prince waited for him at the front door, watching his wrist watch.

"I'm here..." Alex called nervously as he descended the staircase.

"My, don't you look lovely." Prince said.

"Thank you.." Alex acted flattered.

"Are we all ready to go?" Prince asked. Alex nodded, and the two stepped outside, and into the limo. Alex stepped in first, and took his seat. Prince stepped in, and took the seat right next to Alex. Alex quickly turned the other way, and gazed out the window. The vehicle pulled from the drive, and moved down the street.

"I'm looking forward to this evening." Prince spoke. Alex rolled his eyes, put on a smile, faced Prince, and replied.

"Me too."

Alex turned back to the window, and prince fell silent. They arrived at the restaurant. It was a beautiful stone building, and had many decorative windows. They got out, and walked through the doors into the restaurant.

The host stood behind a small podium, and smiled when he noticed the two new arrivals.

"Welcome sir. How may I help you?" He asked nicely.

"We have a reservation under ‘Capulet.' " Prince answered.

"Ah, yes. We have you right here." He said as he checked the book.

"Let me take you to your table." the host took Alex and Prince to an elegantly decorated table, and smiled as he left. Alex opened his menu, and eyed it over.

"The steak looks good." Alex said, trying to make un-provoking conversation.

"Yes, it does." Prince answered. A woman in an apron walked up to the table and spoke.

"Hello, I'm Amanda. What kind of drinks can I get you?" Amanda asked, pulling out a notepad.

"We'll have your finest wine." Prince answered.

"Right away sir." she said before walking away. After several minutes, she returned with a bottle that had French writing on it. She put it in a small bucket of ice sitting on a pedestal next to prince, and set two wine glasses on the table.

"Thank you." Prince said with a small grin. He reached over and pulled out the bottle, pouring some into his glass, then into Alex's.

"Have some.." Prince said. Alex hesitated, then pulled the glass to his lips. It was a sweet taste, and Alex enjoyed it. He set the glass back down, trying not to drink to much.

Soon Amanda returned asking for orders, and Alex asked for the steak. Prince got the roasted chicken Mediterranean dish. After nearly half an hour. the food finaly arrived. Alex eyed it, not realy hungry.

"Excuse me prince, I need to powder my nose." Alex stood from the table, and walked towards the ‘restroom' sign. He walked into the bathroom, and approached the sink. He exhaled heavily, and leaned onto the counter. He couldn't breathe. In the mirror, his eyes were frantic, and he searched around the room for something sharp. He had to end it, but There was nothing he could use. He pulled at his hair, and tried not to scream. If it wasn't for his love for Duke, Alex would have killed himself already.

The bathroom door opened, and he quickly composed himself, pretending to fix his hair. The bolt lock clicked. In the mirror, Prince appeared behind Alex.

"Prince...? What are you doing?" he said nothing, and walked up to Alex. Prince picked him up by the hips, and sat him on the counter. He pulled Alex's skirt up, bunching it up at his thighs. Prince walked between his legs, and ran his paws up Alex's arms. He rubbed the side of Alex's neck, while Alex put his paws on Prince's Chest.

"Prince...not here, not in public." He said, pushing Prince gently away. Prince stepped back and turned around, folding his arms. Alex stepped off the counter, and let his gown slide back down his legs.

"p-prince?" Alex called timidly. He realized his mistake. He had just denied Prince what he wanted.

"Prince I'm sorry, I just didn't want-" Was all he time to say before Prince whirled around and slashed Alex's right cheek with his claws. Alex's head turned to the left violently, and Alex raised his gloved paw to his muzzle. It was already bleeding. It dripped down his hand, staining the white glove. Alex pulled his paw away, and looked at it. It was impossible to tell the glove had ever been white.

The blood began flowing down his cheek, and Alex moved his Paw back up to cover it. Prince stormed passed Alex, ripped the gold-framed mirror off the wall, and slammed it into the counter, letting the glass crash to the floor. After that, he grabbed Alex by his free hand, and practically dragged him out of the bathroom. The host and waitress were both waiting at the table as they approached.

they were smiling, until they noticed Alex.

"Is everything alright?" The host asked as he looked at the blood drenched glove covering Alex's cheek.

"No, everything is not alright. The mirror in the bathroom fell on my fiancé, and cut into his cheek." Prince said with a calm anger. Alex heard the lie, but didn't dare speak.

"I'm so sorry sir...I'll have it fixed right away." The Host replied.

"You better. And be grateful I'm not suing this dump." Prince said.

"Come on, were leaving." Prince commanded as he tugged on Alex's hand forcefully. The host looked at the waitress, and they both knew he was lying. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do.

************

Prince slammed the front door open, still dragging Alex by his paw. Alex walked as swiftly as he could in the restricting gown, tripping several times. Capulet appeared on the stairs, walking towards the two.

"What on earth happened?" He asked as he saw Alex's bloodied face and glove.

"He refused me, so now I intend to take what I want." Prince growled. He tightened his grip on Alex's paw, And drug him upstairs. He threw open Alex's bedroom door, And pushed Alex inside. Prince slammed and locked the door behind him, then Shoved Alex onto the bed.

"Wait!" Alex screamed.

"What!?" Prince glared. "The wedding is tomorrow...don't you want to wait until then? When I can give myself to you completely?" Prince eyed Alex suspiciously.

"Why wouldn't you Have me in the Restaurant!?" He demanded.

"It's only because my fear of being caught in a public place, I swear it!" Alex shouted. He felt vulnerable lying beneath the huge beast of a marsupial, looking into his piercing eyes. Prince continued to stare at Alex, then crawled back off the bed.

"Fine. You had better." Was what he said before he left the room. Alex jumped off the mattress, and walked into the bathroom. He removed the gloves, and threw them on the counter, then ran warm water in the sink. After the wound was cleaned, he put a bandage on it. Two hours passed, and Alex knew it was almost time. His heart beat faster as he pulled the luggage from beneath his bed, and grabbed the train ticket.

He put the clothes he had worn to school back on, then picked up the suitcase. He stuffed the ticket in his pocket, and exited his room. Alex was as quiet as he could be as he walked down the hall, towards the foyer. He made it to the front door, opened it quickly, and ran into Prince.

"Hello, Alex." he repeated what he had said the night he raped him. Alex screamed and stepped back. He made a run for the stairs, But his father had already cut him off.

"What's going on!?" Alex demanded.

"We aren't going to let you leave, is what." Prince said.

"But how did you find me out!?" Alex breathed quickly from the adrenalin rush.

"Remember that night, last week, that you were Planning to run Away with that pig your cheating on me with?" Prince began. Alex scowled at Prince.

"Well, I was the fur who jiggled the doorknob. I heard everything, right down to your last moan." Prince taunted.

"After that, Prince had me monitor your phone calls, and texting." Capulet called as he walked down the stairs. Alex turned around.

"So you know about Duke?" Alex questioned.

"We both do. And now, I'm afraid your going to miss your train Alex." Capulet grinned. Alex dropped the suitcase, and made a dash for the side hall that led to the back. Rosalina stepped in front of him, blocking the entrance.

"Rosalina! Please, let me through!" Alex shouted.

"I'm sorry Alex, but I think that Prince is the smart choice...I can't let you throw your life away, and run off with Duke." Rosy said.

"But rosy...you....you said that..." tears welled up in Alex's eyes.

"Good job Rosy." Prince said as he grabbed Alex from behind.

"NO!" Alex sobbed as Prince lifted him up. Alex kicked and screamed, trying to free himself.

"we are going to my room, were I'm going to punish you....all night..." Prince growled. Rosalina covered her Muzzle, and stared wide eyed at the horrible scene. She had just handed him over to an abusive fur, but she realized it far to late. Alex began thrashing even harder, striking and biting Prince. It did nothing. He was bawling as he was carried upstairs, and towards the Capulet guest room. Prince used it while he stayed with them.

Prince opened the door with his paw quickly, then threw Alex inside onto the floor. Prince locked the door, and turned back around. Alex had moved, and was sobbing in a corner. Prince grabbed him by the throat, and threw him onto the bed.

"I'm going to enjoy this..." He said as he climbed onto the bed.

Downstairs, Rosalina could hear every cry of pain Alex made. Every blood curdling shriek, and dull thump echoed through the mansion, torturing her ears.

"What have I done..." She said to no one. The screams lasted until early in the morning, then finally stopped. Rosalina rolled over in her bed, and tried to sleep. When the morning arrived, Rosalina got out of her bed, and got dressed. She had to get Alex ready for the wedding. She knocked on Prince's bedroom door, and got no reply. She slowly began opening the door.

"Hello? Sirs? ....I have to get Alex ready for today...." She called. There was only one lump in the bed, and it was Alex. She walked into the room, and instantly got the smell of stale cum, and blood. She stepped over the clothes on the floor, and towards the bed. It was strewn with handcuffs, dildos covered in dry blood, and ball gags.

Alex lay beneath the stained sheets, his breathing raspy. All the screaming had injured his voice.

"Alex..?" She called. Alex didn't stir. She reached down, and shook his shoulder gently. His eyes shot open, and he franticly looked around the room.

"I wont do it again Prince! Just please don't hurt me!" He screamed, thrashing his arms through the air.

"Alex! It's me, Rosy!" Rosalina shouted. Alex stopped, and looked at her, still panting. His face scar had been re-opened, and his fur was tangled with blood. His eyes were still filled with terror, but he seemed to understand.

"Alex....I have to get you ready, would you come with me?" Rosy asked. Alex frowned a bit, but stood up. He was still completely naked, and his walk was awkward. Rosy guided him from Princes room, to his own room, helping him stand.

"Why don't you take a shower Alex, it'll make you feel better..." Rosy said as they walked into the room. Alex didn't say anything to rosy, still upset. It was her fault that what happened the previous night, happened. Alex stepped into the bathroom, and turned on the faucet. He quickly stepped into the warm water, and closed the door. His body was completely sore, and his muscles ached.

Alex grabbed the shampoo, and began washing his fur. Rosy walked in, and sat fresh towels on the counter, then walked to the shower door. She knocked on it, and tried to speak, but Alex began screaming again.

"NO! PLEASE, NOT AGAIN PRINCE!!" Alex fell against the shower wall backwards, and tried covering himself with his tail.

"Alex, Prince isn't even here!!" Rosalina shouted. She began realizing the extent of the harm she caused. Alex had shell shock, and went off in environments that Prince had taken him. Alex began crying again, and Rosalina left him alone. She was mortified at the pain she had caused Alex, and sat on the bed, speechless.

When Alex appeared from the bathroom, he was much cleaner then he had been, but his dampened fur revealed the harm. His legs were covered in bruises, along with his arms. His face was scratched up beneath the fur. Alex sat at the vanity, only covered by a towel. Rosalina walked over, and spoke.

"Alex...I am so sorry....I had no idea about prince..." She said. Alex looked at her through the mirror.

"You've done enough damage. Just do your job." Alex hissed angrily. Rosy grabbed the brush from the table, and ran it through his head fur. An hour passed, and Alex's hair was pinned up elegantly, fit for a wedding. All his fur had dried, once again hiding the bruises. Capulet entered the room, and threw a large white box on the bed.

"get this on him, and then make sure he's at the chapel. I will have no interruptions today." He said, before walking back out. Alex stood up, and walked to the bed. The box had a red bow on it, which he quickly tore off. He already knew what it was.

Alex pulled out the white silken wedding gown, and laid it on the bed. He pulled out the veil on the bottom, and then the bouquet. Under that was a new pair of white gloves, which he sat on the dress. But there was one last thing in the box. A diamond tiara. He loathed every piece of clothing in the box. It was all from Prince. He put it all on however, and left with Rosalina to the church.

**********************

Duke stood on the platform of the train station, waiting for his love. The train arrived with a blow of it's horn, and furs began stepping off. Duke stood in the crowd, and watched for Alex. The rush of people trickled down to a few last furs stepping off the train, and Duke's ears turned down.

"Where is he..?" He asked himself. Duke walked back into the station, and sat on a bench. The TV hanging in the corner was showing the news.

"...And we are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of the bride! This wedding has been the talk of the town for weeks!" A female raccoon announced. Duke's ears perked up, and he listened.

"The Capulet wedding is going to commence at noon, here at the cathedral, followed by an elegant reception across town." She spoke again. Duke jumped up, and ran out the door. He jumped into his car (Which was actually Mathew's before he died) and drove off. He was going to stop the wedding.

*************

An hour passed, and Alex stood in front of the doors that entered into the main room. All the guests were waiting in their seats, talking quietly amongst themselves. Rosalina and Capulet stood in the room as well, awaiting the clock to strike noon; the exact time that the orchestra would begin playing, and the bride's maids would enter. Alex knew none of them, and guessed that they were hired by his father.

The clock struck 12, and the orchestra started up. The doors were opened, and the flower girl walked through. She was fallowed by the first couples, then followed by five others, until it was Alex's turn. The music paused, And Alex and his father stepped in front of the door. Capulet held out his elbow, which Alex took, and was escorted slowly forward. The Guests stood in respect as Pachelbel's Canon in D flat began playing.

They continued further down the isle, Alex unseen behind his veil. After several moments, They reached the giveaway point, where Capulet lifted the veil, and whispered in Alex's ear.

"If you ruin this, I'll personally see to it that your miserable." Alex continued by himself up to the alter, and faced Prince. The priest stood in front of the two, and began reading from the bible.

" please take each others hands." The priest began. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to unite these two in holy matrimony...."

****************

Cars honked furiously as Duke raced to the church, running red lights, and nearly causing several accidents. It was passed noon, and he only had minutes to spare before Alex was married to Prince. In the distance, the cathedral began to loom above the horizon, and he went even faster. His car smashed into a truck, deploying the air bags, and totaling the front of the car. Duke jumped out, and raced towards the church, listening to the cursing fur shout after him.

*************

"Do you, Prince, take Alex Capulet to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asked.

"I do." Prince replied. Alex's heart began to beat faster. He looked to the fur that he was about to spend the rest of his life with. The aggressive, abusive son of a bitch.

"And do you, Alex Capulet, take Prince to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asked him.

"I......." Alex began.

"are you alright dear?" The priest asked. Prince gave Alex a look that could kill, and squeezed Alex's paws.

************

Duke panted heavily as he approached the steps of the church, running as fast as he could. All of the press turned to him, curious as to what he was doing, as he burst through the first set of doors.

************

"I.....I..........I d-"

"STOP!" Duke shouted as he burst through the doors. All the guest turned to him, and Alex's Face lit up with overwhelming joy as he turned to the priest.

"I DON'T! AND I NEVER WILL!" he shouted before throwing the ring at Prince, then racing down the isle to Duke. He jumped into his arms, and kissed him passionately in front of everyone. The guest began murmuring, and Prince stepped off the alter.

"Lets go babe.." Duke said with a smile. The two ran out of the church, instantly running into the press. They continued running, as the reporters spoke into the cameras.

"And it appears we have a case of the runaway bride!"

The two raced down the street, Alex's veil and skirt fluttering in the breeze. They turned down an unpopulated street, running as fast as they were able,when a black car turned onto the street on front of them. The men inside were Capulet's security. They turned around to face three muscular furs running at them. They had no time when One grabbed Alex, shoving a damp cloth onto his snout. The other two did the same to Duke. Alex immediately became drowsy as he inhaled the strong odor, trying to push away.

"no...." he said before loosing consciousness, and falling into the guards arms. Duke went down a moment later.

Alex shot up from the bed he was in, and quickly looked around. He was back in his room. Alex was still in the wedding gown, and scrambled to get out of the sheets. He ran to the door, and opened it. A large horse greeted him.

"Get back in there!" he boomed as he slammed the door shut in Alex's face. He ran to the balcony, and threw the doors open. Alex looked over the edge towards the vine wall, but they had been cut down.

"Damn it!" Alex shouted. He raced back into the room, and searched for another exit point, which there wasn't. Another idea had been forming in the back of Alex's head. But he didn't want to do it.

"What the hell...if I can put up with Prince, I can put up with this..." Alex said as he searched for a weapon. He noticed the fireplace, and the tools at it's side, including the relatively sharp fire poker. He rushed over, grabbed it, then stuffed it beneath the bed sheets. Alex then composed himself, preparing to seduce the guard. He put on his sensual face, and walked to the door, knocking on it.

"What!?" The guard growled.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but its getting lonely in here...." Alex said femininely. There was a moment of silence, and then the door opened.

"You better make it worth my while." He said.

"I will...." Alex cooed. He walked to the bed, and laid down, wiggling his index finger back and forth saying, come here. The large horse obliged, and crawled over to Alex. He nuzzled into Alex's neck, while Alex rubbed the back of his mane.

The horse worked his way down Alex's torso with his hands, and closed his eyes. Alex reached up under the pillow, and gripped the poker.

"Your sooooo strong..." He moaned. The horse was just about to unclip the hooks on the front, when Alex pulled the poker from beneath the pillow, and brought it down hard on the guards head. There was a ‘crack' noise, and the horse collapsed on top of Alex.

"Damn your heavy..." Alex said as he wriggled from beneath the enormous stud. He pulled out, and un-harnessed the gun from his belt. Alex made his way into the hall, and thought of where Duke would be. He ran downstairs, and into the kitchen. Rosalina sat at the table with her head in her paws.

"Rosy! Were does my father have Duke!?" He demanded. Rosy looked up, showing her distraught face.

"They have him on the terrace..." She said. Alex raced from the kitchen, and towards the ballroom. He burst through the doors, running down the steps, concealing the gun under the second layer of the dress. Alex was still carrying the poker, which he held at his side. The terrace doors were already open, letting in the freezing air. Duke was sitting on the ground, with his hands tied to the stone railing behind his back. Prince held a gun, and his father held a knife.

"let him go father!" Alex demanded as he stepped outside. Prince and Capulet turned to him, and grinned.

"I'm impressed you got out of your room Alex. I selected that guard myself." Capulet said. Duke looked up at Alex with pleading eyes. They had been torturing him.

"go back inside darling. This will be over soon." Prince said before kicking Duke in the gut, hard.

"I'm not your DARLING you fucking ass hole!" Alex shouted.

"It's Duke I love, not you. And that will NEVER change." Prince approached Alex, and punched him hard in the side of the head, sending him to the ground.

"NO!" Duke shouted. What they didn't realize however, was that this was Alex's plan. Prince approached Alex again, standing over him. Alex swiftly ripped the gun from under the layers of skirt, aimed it at Prince's head, and pulled the trigger. Prince fell to the ground, dead.

Alex jumped up, And ran to Duke. Capulet leaned over Prince, trying to revive him.

"Duke! Are you alright!?" Alex asked as he pulled at the ropes.

"I'm fine, just get me out of this..." Duke looked over Alex's shoulder.

"LOOK OUT!" He screamed. Alex jumped up and whirled around just in time to see his father charge at him. Capulet shoved a knife into his son's heart, and stepped back as lighting split through the sky. Alex gasped sharply as he looked down at the wound, which instantly began pouring blood. His paws wrapped around the blade, and held it. The pain shot through him with every heart beat, and Alex fell to the ground. Duke gazed in horror at this scene, and ripped through the ropes restraining him with sheer force. He rushed To Alex's side, Cradling him in his arms.

"Alex.....it'll be ok...we'll get you to a hospital.." he said with tears welling in his eyes. The blood had already begin to pool around Alex, who raised his paw to Duke's cheek.

"I...I love you Duke, so much..." He gasped.

"I just want you to know that..." Duke held him closer to his body, beginning to cry.

"don't talk like that! I wont let you die!" He shouted.

"Alex looked up at Duke and smiled weakly.

"Kiss me...one last time..." Duke leaned down with a trembling body, and kissed Alex lovingly. Alex's arms reached up, and held onto Duke's shoulders. Duke pulled back from the kiss, and let the tears fall on his fading love.

"Duke....I love....you..." Alex spoke his last words as his body fell limp in Duke's arms.

Capulet laughed gruesomely as he saw this scene. Duke snatched the gun from Alex's paw, and shot Capulet in the head, then began crying over Alex again. Cold rain fell from the skies, and began washing away the pool of blood, as Duke leaned down, and Held Alex again, getting his love's blood on himself. Duke cried for a long time then sat up again, crying loudly into the air.

He held the gun to his head, and spoke.

"I love you too, Alex..." and pulled the trigger. He fell to Alex‘s side, his arm falling across his body. The two lay dead together, forever cuddling the other.

******************

(later the same day)

Amy, Bridget and Sarah, sat in in front of the T.V, channel surfing.

"uuuuuugh, there's nothing on..." Bridget growled.

"Just put It on the news." Sarah piped in. Amy typed in a number on the remote, and the TV set flipped to the news.

"......with more on that story later." The three had flipped to the channel mid-sentence. "And now back to the report at hand, something that reporters from all over the country are calling, The Duke & Alex story." The news woman spoke.

"shush guys, listen!" Amy snarled.

"Earlier today, Alex Capulet, (a picture of him flashed on the screen) and Duke Montague, (Duke's picture also flashed up) Were found dead."

"Oh my Gosh!" the three gawked.

"Apparently, Duke & Alex met at the Capulet's annual Halloween ball, and fell in love. Being from rivaling families, they were forced to keep their love hidden. After the announcement that Alex Had to marry Prince, the lovers plotted to run away together. This plan was spoiled, however, when Duke killed Toby Capulet, Alex's cousin. He was forced to flee the country, and stayed in contact with Alex via cell phone, continuing their plan of Alex's escape just a week before the scheduled marriage.

Alex was caught however, when the text messages were discovered, and Capulet forced him to stay. During the wedding, Duke burst through the chapel doors, and ‘rescued' Alex from his fate, and the two fled together. No news on what happened afterwards, but at some point, they all wound up back at the Capulet mansion, where Alex was stabbed in the heart, while Prince, Capulet, and Duke were all shot in the head. Duke's is the one Forensics are saying was the suicide.

These two were willing to risk anything for each other, and were each willing to give their lives for the other. Unfortunately, in the end, this appears to be what happened. But through it all, it shows that when two people find true love, something rarer than the aligning of the planets, they are willing to do anything to keep it alive. Duke and Alex are examples of this elusive phenomenon, and shows us that we, no matter race, gender, or origin, should never let other people stand in front of our chance at love..."

******

a haunting peace this morning brings, the sun, with sadness, will not show it's head. Go forth, to have talk of these sad things, some shall be pardoned, and some shall be punished; For never was there a tale more tragic, than that of Duke, and his loving Alex....
