Hey people! Chapter two! For the people reading my other stories, expect updates tomorrow. One more thing: When Alexis isn't speaking, it doesn't sound like the mind of a five year old (most of the time) because its kind of hard for you guys to get a good picture if I'm describing things as stuff, thingy, pretty, ugly, big, small, you know, the words that could mean a lot of things that little kids use. And that when Lexi is talking about emotions, she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Academy. I only own the characters I make up, such as Alexis and the plot. All the other stuff belongs to Richelle Mead.
Sydney took me through a really fancy building. It had these flags with crests on them. She told me we're going to see someone important. I was really curious as to who.
We entered a room with another blonde girl, her hair was in a fancy bun. She was pacing the floor in a long dress. It was a glittery pink. I liked it. Next to her was a pretty girl dressed all in black. Her thick brown hair was in a ponytail. They both turned to us when we entered. Sydney bowed. The blonde girl shook her head at her.
"Sydney! How many times do I have to tell you? We're friends. You don't have to act like I'm a royal," she turned to me, "Hello, sweetheart. It's nice to meet you. My name's Lissa. Yours is Alexis, right?"
"Yes my name's Alexis, will you cawl me Lexi, please?" Lissa leaned down so she was eye level with me.
"Of course, Lexi. Are you thirsty?" I nodded my head.
"Yes please!" I said excitedly. The girl with brown hair handed me a sippy-cup with blood. I gave her a toothy smile.
"My name's Rose," she told me kindly. Rose, two, got on a nee to be eye level with me. I turned back to Lissa. I then noticed that she had a crown sitting on her head. I lightly poked it and laughed.
"You have a crown! Are you a princess?" I asked her. She gave a giggle.
"No, Lexi. I'm a queen," my eyes widened.
"Really?" I gasped, "Do you own a dwagon? Are there people in lots of armor to pwotect you? Do you wive in a cattle?"(translation: castle) the three girl went into spontaneous giggles.
"No, Lexi. Those are different kinds of princesses, and princes, and queens, and kings. In fact you might even be royalty in this society," she explained. I gave her a confused look.
"That's why your here, Lexi. We're going to find out who your father is," Rose added to cure my confusion. My mouth made the perfect 'O' shape.
"So who is it?" I asked. Lissa went to a tall table off in the corner and came back with a small orange envelope. She held it up.
"We have your birth certificate right here," she told me. I gave her a smile, but tilted my head to the side as if that alone would ask her my question.
"Why didn't you just ask me mommy?" I questioned. Lissa and Sydney shared a glance, where as Rose just shrugged.
"Alexis, your mom is-" Rose began.
"-not here at the moment," Lissa cut in. I noticed Lissa give Rose something my mommy would call a "dirty look".
"Well where is she?" I asked.
"She's in a beautiful place called Heaven. I'm sure she's very happy there," Sydney explained. I was still wearing a confused look.
"Why didn't she take me with her?"
"Well it's not a good place for kids to go to," a new voice said. He had black hair and glistening blue eyes. He smiled kindly at me.
"Then why didn't she just go to somewhere that is a good place for kids?" I challenged.
"She thought it would be a good time for you to bond with your father," he explained. I looked up. I still didn't understand emotions. My mommy tried to teach me. I do know how to read them, I just don't understand what they mean. Rose was what mommy would call shocked. Lissa was giving the guy a thankful look.
"Who are you? Are you my father?" I asked him. Rose started laughing.
"It could be. . . with the. . . way . . .you guys. . . go at it," she gasped out between laughs. Lissa gave a slight chuckle.
"No Alexis, he's not your father. Unless there's something he didn't tell me. That is Christian he's-"
"Wrongly named after a religion," Rose interjected. Sydney laughed at that.
"No- well, yes- but that's not the point. He's my king," Lissa said. I turned to Christian.
"Hi, Christian!" I yelled cheerfully,
"Hello, Lexi," he said kindly. He picked me up and threw me in the air. I was laughing "like a maniac". That's what my mom always says when I laugh to hard. Christian then spun me around in a circle. When he put me down I was stumbling all over the place, he had to hold me so I wouldn't fall.
"Can he be my daddy?" I pleaded while giggling. Rose scoffed.
"Christian? A dad? Yeah right!" Rose yelled.
"Sorry, Lexi. It doesn't work that way. You can't choose your father,"
"Otherwise Abe wouldn't be my father," Rose muttered.
"Ouch, Kiz! That hurt!" A man yelled, as he walked in the room. He was wearing a flashy suite and a scarf, even though it was really hot. He also had piercings in his ear.
"But your not a girl!" I yelled. They all turned to me.
"Pardon me?" The man asked with an amused smile.
"You have your ears pierced, but your not a girl," I explained.
"Sometimes we wonder if she is or isn't," there was a big intake of breath. The man turned to Christian. He didn't say anything but Christian cowered back. Until Rose said.
"Old Man, there is no question. It's completely obvious that your a girl," The man smiled.
"Kiz! Your breaking your old man's heart!" I turned to him.
"Is your name Old Man?" I asked. Everyone said "no" at the same time Rose and Christian said "Yes"
"His name is Abe," Sydney told me.
"Why do you keep calling her Kiz? Her name is Rose. Don't you know that?" I asked him.
"All too well" Rose and Christian muttered in union.
"It means daughter, little girl," Abe said. I then turned to Sydney.
"Where are all these persons coming from?" I demanded. She shrugged.
"I don't know, honey," she said.
"Hey, I have an idea! Let's read this and find out who her father is!" Rose yelled over everyone else.
"Good idea!" Lissa praised jokingly. She took the paper out of the envelope. I saw her eyes scroll over the birth certificate. Lissa froze.
"Liss? Who is it?" Rose snatched the paper out of her hands. She read the same spot Lissa's eyes recently traveled over. Rose dropped the paper. I was suddenly scared.
"Is my daddy that bad?" I asked in a small voice. Christian picked up the paper.
"Adrian," he whispered.
"Oh, that isn't good," Abe said to himself.
"Is he mean or something?" I asked,
"Or something," Christian whispered to me. I glared at him.
"FUCK!" Rose yelled.
"YOU SAID A BAD WORD!" I yelled twice as loud.
"Get used to it, honey," Sydney whispered to me.
"Is my daddy really that bad?" I whimpered. There where different answers from everyone.
"I don't even know where he is!" Lissa yelled in exasperation, "He moved out of his old house about two months ago," Rose let out a huff of breath.
"I know where he is," Rose admitted. Everyone turned to her.
"How?"
"He told me before he left. He's practically still in court,"
"What do you mean practically?" Lissa questioned.
"He said 'There is no need for my safety anymore. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the house just outside the wards.' then he left," Rose looked really sad, one of the few emotions I understand.
"Alexis can't stay outside the wards!" Christian yelled.
"It's not safe," Sydney agreed. I looked at Lissa.
"But your qween, can't you make him move?" I asked. Everyone turned to Lissa.
"I can," she started slowly, "but I dislike forcing people to do things," I could tell she was carefully choosing her words.
"Why don't we go see him first. Maybe knowing he has a daughter will make him change his mind about his living arrangements," Sydney suggested. Rose nodded and gestured everyone to follow her. I started to walk but found it hurt quite a bit. I rolled up my pant-leg there was a cut there. It seemed odd that only now I was starting to feel my wounds from the car accident. It could be the fact that I had been in shock, even though I have no idea what that means. Besides the point, I started to cry. Everyone turned to me. I also felt a sharp pain on the back of my head and back. I fell to the ground.
"How did we never notice her wounds until now?" I heard Rose demand. I also heard their footsteps come towards me. For the second time that day, I feinted.
I woke up in Christian arms.
"Chrissy?" I groaned. I was feeling really groggy.
"How are you feeling?" Rose asked from the side of Christian.
"I don't hurt that bad anymore," I told them. They all breathed sighs of relief.
"Why doesn't it hurt?" I asked confused.
"I healed you," Lissa said.
"Huh?"
"We'll explain everything to you later," Christian whispered.
"Where are we going?" I noticed that we were moving.
"We're going to see your dad," Abe said. I yawned.
"You tired? Well it's time for a wake up call," Christian yelled. He flipped me upside down in his arms. I started giggling as he swung me back and fourth. My curly brown ringlets where dragging on the ground. He then flipped me over his shoulder so I was hanging like a potato sack. My giggles became silent, I was laughing so hard.
Our group came to a stop. Christian put me down on the ground. Rose knocked on the door. There was a slight fumbling on the inside and a guy opened the door. He shared my emerald green eyes and we had the same hair color. I assumed he was my father. He glared at Rose. The door automatically shut. Rose put her foot in the door.
"Come on, Adrian, don't be like that!" Rose yelled. Adrian came back to the door.
"What do you want Rose?" He asked coldly.
"It's not nice to talk to people like that!" I yelled angrily. He looked down at me.
"Who are you?" he asked eying me.
"The reason we're here," Sydney told him with a glare.
"Ah, Sage. You might act like you hate me, but I know you love me," he said cockily.
"I do hate you, your an evil creature of the night and a player and and alcoholic," Sydney retorted.
"What's and acololic?" I asked, stumbling over the word.
"What your father is," Christian said.
"Your father is an alcoholic two? I want to meet this guy,"
"You already have!" I giggled.
"I have? Where?" he asked.
"Have you looked in the mirror?" Rose asked. Adrian touched his face.
"No why? Is there something on my face?" Adrian faked a panicked look.
"He's funny!" I laughed.
"Yeah, funny looking," Rose mumbled. Adrian clutched his heart.
"Little Dhampir! Your breaking my heart!" Rose froze. I could tell everyone else tensed. I didn't understand why, though. Even Adrian got stiff. His face went cold again.
"Why are you guys here?" he demanded. I flinched at his cold voice.
"Why are you so mean?" I retorted.
"Ask her!" he spat out pointing at Rose. My eyes narrowed.
"My mommy wonce told me I was wike you! I'm nothing wike you! Your a. . .a . . a butt head!" Christian burst out laughing. I felt my lower lip quiver. I turned to Lissa, " I don't want to live with him! I want to go back to my mom!" I yelled. Sydney looked really sad. She bent down and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Honey, you can't go where she went," she told me.
"Then tell her to come back!" I demanded.
"I can't," Sydney said in a defeated voice.
"Lexi, what does your mom look like?" Rose asked, playing with a ring on her finger.
"She has bwonde hair, her eyes are a weally spawkly bwue. She has really white skin, becwase she's a vampire. She's the same size as Lissa. She's really beautiful," I explained. Lissa started to protest, but Rose took off her ring anyways. She gasped. Her hand went to her forehead. Then she smiled. She started to have a one way conversation with herself. I turned back to the guy who was supposedly my father. He was looking at Lissa.
"Why would she live with me?" he asked. I tilted my head to the side.
"You mean you don't know who I am?" I asked in a really sad voice. He shook his head.
"Mommy never told you about me?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Does the name Alison ring a bell?" Rose challenged. She had finished the conversation with herself. Adrian froze then looked at me, really looked at me. His eyes widened and he took a deep breath before sputtering out,
"Fuck. My. Life."
