Alexander Franklin Dozier

—Alex[src]

**Alex** is an unfiltered eleven-year-old who has the charm of an unfiltered eleven-year-old.

## Relationships

### Duncan

Before their dad left Duncan and Alex had a very good relationship, but since then Alex has felt smothered by him. Even still, he would be devastated if Duncan found out he steals Batman comics.

### Stephanie

Alex idolizes Stephanie. The first time she came to babysit for him she was so nice, and kept him entertained and played games with him. He has a little kid crush on her, and she's been his babysitter for two years.

## History

Alex finds Stephanie in between classes, and she tells him about their school project, and that they have to visit the Viking runestone after school. Alex is upset about missing *ALF*, but is more accepting when he's told they can record it for later.

After school, he's absentmindedly swinging around, waiting for Alex, and hits an older his with his backpack. The kid grabs him and shoves him against a locker, and makes fun of him for his dad leaving. Duncan hears what's going on and runs to them. He aims for the kid's head but punches the locker right next to him, and when given a chance, the kid runs off.

Alex enjoys some cookies before Stephanie picks them up, and then they head to the runestone. Rick tells Alex stories behind the runes.

Alex is alarmed when Duncan starts yelling at him to get to Stephanie. After searching around the runestone for a bit, Duncan tells them he saw a woman through the camera, but she was gone when he put it down. They go back to Stephanie's to review the footage, and Rick points out a disturbance in the video, like a part has been removed. Alex asks Mrs. Stephenson for a sandwich and a drink for the road.

At Anomalies & Antiques, the older kids look through Rick's books for more information about the runestone. Alex reads his Batman comic and plays with a clacker Rick's grandfather gave him. They return home for the night after learning about the huldra, a creature that lures young men into the forest.

Alex is snuggled in bed with a Batman comic when Duncan tells him Stephanie needs their help. He grabs his slingshot and follows Duncan out the door.

They're stopped by Sheriff Johnson on the way. There's a lot of confusion and trying to bluff their way out of telling the adults the truth, but eventually their real reason for being out in the middle of the night is revealed. Rick's grandfather tells them about Youth League, and how they know about the supernatural side of Pineville. The adults head to the runestone to set up a circle that will allow Franklin to trap the creature with an incantation, the kids formulate a plan to save Brick.

Duncan almost leaves Alex behind, but the young boy doesn't allow that and chases after them. They manage to find Brick and bring him to the runestone. Alex is ready with his slingshot, but never gets a chance to use it. The huldra is lured into the circle, and Alex helps Franklin recite the incantation, sending her underground.
