Disclaimer, I know I didn't write this on the last chapter, after promising myself I would, I forgot, I'm sorry. So, if you want to sue me sue me, but it would be a waste of time and energy seeing there are plenty of people who don't write it at all. But anyway I don't own anything to do with charmed. On the subject of the fan fiction name I made up for this story, I made it up, I checked to see if anyone had the name when I first started writing this story and they didn't so if I have used your name or anything similar, again I'm sorry.
Thanks to WeirdLittleHalliwell for reviewing and on with the story…
Chapter 1
It was mid-afternoon and Alexis and her best friend Lana wove their way through the crowded December streets. Their plan was to go round Alexis's house and have as much fun as possible to celebrate the end of their mocks, unfortunately that was never going to happen.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa wait!" Alexis yelled as they passed a narrow side street, half hidden in shadow as the sun set. She dragged Lana back to the entrance and stared down it.
About a quarter of the way along she spotted a boy, around her age, bleeding and badly bruised, sitting crumpled on the pavement and leaning against a crumbling brick wall.
"My god!" Lana exclaimed to the figure of Alexis, who was already about halfway there.
"Are you okay?" Alexis said, horrified.
"Yeah, I'm fine, trust me, I'll be okay," Jamie lied.
"Right, we believe you," Lana replied sarcastically.
"Look, do you need the hospital, or the police or… or… something?" asked Alexis, marvelling, half sarcastically, at how good she was at taking control of a situation in an emergency. "You've lost a lot of blood,"
"There's a doctors' surgery just down the road," Lana put in.
"No, no, no!" he stammered, struggling for breath. "I'm fine, really. Look, just don't tell anyone, they'll contact social services!"
"Isn't that a good thing?" Lana asked disbelievingly.
"No, my brother would probably kill me before they could do anything."
"Your brother?" Alexis enquired.
"Yeah, he's now totally crazy, he's into cult-magicky stuff and now he's decided to stalk some girl!"
"So your brother's lost it and he's a paedophile?" Lana stated.
"Brilliant!"
"No, he's not, he thinks she's magic!" Jamie exclaimed, watching their reaction. "There's this girl, she writes stories, fan fiction, on the internet and he's read her story and he thinks she's got some kind of gift."
"Whoa!" Lana gasped, lost for words.
"What's her name?" Alexis enquired, planning on heading to the computer asap and typing a warning in the review box or something, before the girl could get stabbed with an athame.
"Lexisa990…I think…" he replied uncertainly.
"Okay…" Alexis said, trying to remain calm, but inside she was burning with uncontrollable anxiety. This was unreal, this strange boy had to be a stalker, but how was he here, right place right time? It was so confusing; it sent her head spinning into a million different directions. "So, what do you know about her?" she probed, stalling for time while she thought of a plan.
"Nothing, just what I told you and that I need to help her before my brother finds her. But knowing my luck I probably won't find her for another 20 years and then it will only be her crumbling remains underneath a gravestone." Jamie said bitterly.
Well this is ironic "Okay, we'll help you find her and all that," Alexis promised him, dragging Lana a little way off. "I just need to have a private conversation first!"
"What!" said Lana impatiently.
"You know the girl he's stalking?"
"Yeah?" she replied, wondering where Alexis was taking this conversation and why they were having it over here.
"Yeah. That's me."
"What!" she glanced over at the boy suspiciously.
"Lexisa; Alexis with the A at the end. 990; the amount of stories I intend to write before I die." She explained.
"How many have you written so far?"
"Five," Alexis answered.
"Well I hate to tell you but I don't think you'll be reaching your goal," Lana joked, looking terrified.
"But it has to be a coincidence, there's no other explanation for it, how would he know that we would find him and no one else would? But it's still creepy, don't you think?"
"I agree but…"
"Anyway, from now on, my name is going to be Alice and yours can be… whatever, but y' know, seeing as his brother wants to kill me and my real name's quite similar, might not be best to tell him my real identity." Alexis grinned.
"Kay, so what do we do now?"
"Help him…somehow…finding as much information about his insane brother without taking him to my house, for safety reasons obviously, and apparently the doctors'."
"Right," agreed Lana and they both went back to Jamie, who was pretty sure that by now they had decided not to help him, he sighed, saying so at the beginning would have been so much easier. "So what's your name?"
"Uh, Jamie," he replied, unsure of whether he'd made the right choice in telling her.
"Thanks Jamie," Alexis smiled. "I'm Alice and this is…"
"Uh, um, Lilly, yeah," that'll do, she thought hoping that she hadn't made the fact that she'd been making it up on to spot too obvious, which she probably had, given the look Alexis was giving her.
"So, how old are you?" Alexis probed.
"F…"
"Clearly too young to know what's good for him!"
Alexis shrieked and everyone jumped, spinning round to face the figure that stood imperiously behind them.
"Take one step closer and I swear…" Alexis panicked, realising that threatening the guy that quite possibly wanted her dead was not exactly a good idea.
Jamie and Lana looked at Marc, with absolute certainty that whatever happened in the next few moments, would not be good.
"What? You think you can stop me?" Marc asked, his hair was getting wilder, Jamie noticed, and he was fairly certain that his eyes had turned red. Somehow, he doubted they were contact lenses.
"Uh, maybe…"
"Alexis!"
She spun round, mentally cursing the person that had interrupted the fight.
Something moved towards her out of the corner of her eye but she glanced back at Marc too late. Lana screamed as he swung his arm full force into the side of her head. Alexis crashed into a wall, almost toppling over it. Alexis swore loudly.
"Hey, that hurt!" she complained, kicking him hard in the stomach and whacking him in the neck. Marc crumpled to the floor, unconscious.
"What the hell?" Alexis turned to the two people that had distracted her, folding her arms and trying to make it look like she was perfectly fine.
"Great timing," she commented sarcastically.
"How did you do that, are you a spy or something?" Olivia asked.
Alexis groaned at her fake idiocy. "No, although there are many things you don't know about me, it's just karate and luck, oh and can you put your mobile away?" she added instinctively, turning to Olivia who tied to pretend she hadn't been filming. Alexis sighed exasperatedly and continued checking Marc's pulse.
"What are you doing here anyway and can you please leave," Lana said angrily.
"Pity, we were quite enjoying talking to you two and Alexis's boyfriend here, but fine we'll go." Reese sneered while the three of them glared at him.
"If they show that video to the police we're screwed." Jamie pointed out a few seconds after they'd left.
"Yeah, well we have bigger problems than the police right now." Alexis rolled her eyes. "Is he on drugs or something as he doesn't look quite human?"
"Um probably," Jamie shrugged. "He did like to experiment with a lot of things."
"Okay dokey then, where do we hide?" Lana asked brightly.
"Your house?" Jamie suggested.
"No way, I'm not leading a psycho like him to my family!"
"Same," Alexis agreed.
"Well then Alice, where do you suggest?" he enquired.
Alexis looked around or inspiration…
So, that's the end of my first actual chapter, I hope you like. Please review…
