Once the young couple headed off talking and laughing, like a ninja Chris stepped from the shadows and picked up the journal they had left behind "Last thing we need is Lady Rainsworth getting her hands on this." He said as his phone began to ring "Hello?" He asked when he answered it he listened carefully and silently to the person on the other end "Yes…yes sir." He said "Jack is more than… yes sir, if that is what you want…no Jack can have the Vessalius family for all I care…yes sir…goodbye." Chris ended the call and placed the phone and journal into his pockets and put on his headphones as loud dubstep and techno filled his ears, wither they knew or not gears have been moving and events taking place Alice finding out about the marriage would only make things run smoother.
When school began the next day students were in awe and surprise to see Alice, the girl who had the reputation for beating up boys and being a possible lesbian, walking to class with a boy wither or not they were together or not wasn't the problem but seeing her with a boy was something unseen in that school. Chris snickered when he saw the student's surprise the students there were in shocked and entertained by simple mindless things like gossip and drama it was less the flattering. He felt separated, alone and adrift from society but it was a feeling he had his whole life being separated from society was a birth right of the Vessalius house the first few years of your life you are separated adrift and alone and even though his brother stood amongst those people he was also separate from them like a wolf living amongst dogs similar but so different. Chris's eyes widened and his heart stopped for a small second as a girl ran by, Alyss a beautiful white haired girl and twin to Alice his brother's fiancé, he had been enchanted by her the moment they met two years ago. He clenched his fist and walked away from the crowed disappearing before anyone could notice he had been his heart ached he could fight several people twice his size and could hack into Pandora's secure mainframe for shits and giggles but he couldn't ask out a girl, a simple task yet an impossible one and Oz was no better than he was Alice found out on her own he never told her. Chris turned up his music and headed for the roof.
Alyss had seen him standing there in the corner and yet she did nothing she ignored him. She stood in the crowed silent she saw them together Oz and Alice and she remembered what had happened two years ago. She headed to the roof and sat down on a bench and thought back to the day they met. Alyss wasn't always the way she was now two years ago her hair was far darker her chest hadn't come in and braces and pimples decorated her face, even though she and Alice had gone to the same school they were in separate classes and had different lunches and they only saw each other at the beginning and end of each day. It started off as any normal day she sat alone eating her lunch when a fight broke out and a group formed around the fighters she was one of the few who stayed behind and chose not to participate. Many fights had happened at that school before and it was nothing new but this time something was different, tables were being pushed violently and the sound cracking echoed through the halls until a table was flung into the air students ran in all directions the sound of screaming filled her ears she sat there as the table flew towards her and the only thought that came to mind was I'm going to die a second later she felt something collide with her then the table shattering into a million splinters. When she woke up he was in the nurse's office the nurse told her she only had a few cuts and bruises and her sister had come to visit. By the end of the day she had recovered but as she left she saw him lying in the bed his hair blond but with a really crappy job of trying to dye it black and green eyes a pair of glasses by his bedside she visited him regularly and even gave him a gift to say thanks it was a mp3 player it wasn't much but it was something. One day he was released and Alyss hardly saw him again he disappeared into the back ground, that summer was when everything changed both she and her sister bloomed that summer and her braces were removed her gray hair finally faded to white and Leo let everyone know his secret and she never saw that boy again. The bell rung for classes and Chris headed out his hands in his pocket holding tightly onto the mp3 player even though it had stopped working for a year now.
After school Chris left his classroom heading for the roof he was expecting a call and didn't want to be bothered. When he came to the roof Alyss had been waiting for him she had changed she wore a beautiful white dress that was simple in design and sat on the bench her bare feet seemed to hover off the ground. "Alyss…" Chris said his heart pounded and sweat poured down his face "Hey Chris." She said sweetly "What are you…I…" He stuttered his phone rang but he stood there frozen Alyss giggled as she approached him, the phone rang louder as she placed her arms around his neck "You can answer it." Alyss said. Slowly he reached into his pocket and withdrew his phone and answered it… "You're a dead man Vessalius!" A voice shouted in his ear this was not the phone call he was waiting for on the other end was the voice of Elliot Nightray a student a year younger than them who's had a beef with Chris since the fight two years ago and it didn't help that Vessalius's and Nightrays didn't like each other. The door to the roof opened and Elliot Nightray stood there, steam shot from his ears he pointed at Chris while completely oblivious to the situation. Chris looked at Elliot "Uh…can you do this later." Alyss asked. "I want to establish something and he's killing the mood." Chris sighed and ducked out of Alyss's soft embrace "Thank you Elliot…" He said disappointed "My boner's gone thanks to you." Alyss looked at him surprised and he turned back to her "It's not we were going to do anything." Chris said wondering why Alyss was looking at him weirdly. "We have a score to settle cat." Elliot said "Ever since that day, the day you decided to throw a fucking table at me!" Elliot was red "I threw a lot of stuff at you and you're pissed about the table?" Chris asked he was feeling more and more disappointed by the minute "I threw a bike, a small car and even your own brother at you and you're pissed about the table?" "That was the first thing." Elliot retorted "You started the fight." Chris shot back "You went to table throwing." Elliot argued the yelling continued back and forth until they were interrupted "Shut the hell up!" Leo's voice rang out they turned and looked at him standing at the entrance "Elliot put away your grudge we have things to do and so do they." He demanded Elliot obeyed following Leo. Alyss wrapped her arms around Chris's chest and put her face into his back "Let's go somewhere." She said she pressed tightly to his back Chris smiled holding her hand as they walked off. As they walked down the hallway they passed a poster stating "Attention Students: coming this month parent's day Alyss snickered at the poster if Alice loved Oz half as much as she loved Chris she would bring Oz into the family and that's what she was planning on doing even if she had to spread her legs to do so.
