Hey guys, I know it's been a looong time since I've updated, because it's just been a pile of homework and busy with stuff but summer vacation is coming so I'll be updating.

Enjoy!

The Truth…

I flipped the pages till I found a page that was titled: "The Baby". I found my name in there so it was true… I was Malistaire's daughter. I read though the page carefully. Then my eyes stopped on a sentence. I felt water fall from my eyes like an endless waterfall. I fell to the ground… I had found the answer to my questions….

This is what the book said "A young baby was born named Alexis Drake. Everything went perfectly fine after her birth but when Sylvia left Malistaire broke. He lost it. This happened when Alexis was two. His brother Cyrus Drake was able to save the baby from Malistaire and his evilness". I felt so bad about…well EVERYTHING. I wiped my tears and put the book back silently. "Um who are you?" I heard a voice ask. I turned around to see Boris. Uh-oh. "Samantha Stardust?" I asked/said. "So Samantha…what are you doing here? This is restricted to students, only library helper can enter" he said. Think Alexis think. "Um…I'm a library helper?" I said/asked. "Oh!" well here are some books you need to put away here and be done ASAP" he said while giving me a large pile of books. "Kay see ya" he said and left. I dropped the books on the floor and bolted out of the library not caring who'd see me. I ran to the spiral door selected Dragonspyre then teleported to the Basilica. After making a deal with Zeke I grabbed my broom and flew off to Drake mansions. Finally when I got there it was 5:30. Avoiding the guards, I slid to the back of the castle and undid my spell Transformanta enchantment/gift/spell/whatever. Now I had the clothing problem… green is something I NEVER wear…EVER. Well I'm myself so it should be alright…right? I casually walked into the castle.

Just outside of my room I heard a voice say "Alexis? Is that…you?" I turned to face the voice which came from…Why is he always here? He's like always around me or something! "Um yeah it me Dylan…" I said a bit quietly. "I've never seen you wear green…it looks nice on you though" he said and smiled a bit. I blushed. Then I tried to make my hair fall in my face so he wouldn't see me blush. "Um thanks…uh see you at dinner" I said and rushed into my room. Hmm maybe I should wear green tonight…

At dinner

I rushed down the hallway in my long black dress trimmed green; Malistaire always likes fancy dinners so he gets his way. I entered the dining room and sat down. Everyone else was already there.

"You kids will get to pick your secondary school of magic tomorrow" Malistaire said as the food was getting set. Mentally I'm screaming: YAY, YAY, YAY, and YAY TOMORROW! (Me screaming again mentally). I wonder which school I'm going to pick…

For dinner there was fish. I am NOT such a big fan of fish…unlike Destiny and Daniel who were happily chomping away.

"Uh I'm not hungry" I said getting up. Dylan gave me the I-think-I-know-why face. I returned him with the I-do-not-like-fish-face.

"Are you sure?" Malistaire asked (should I call him dad? No not yet). "Yeah I'm sure" I said. "Night everyone" I said and left to my room.

20 minutes later

I'm starving! BIG TIME! I had changed into my pajamas and was so bored and hungry. I heard a knock on the door so I put on my white sweater and opened the door. Okay, he's stalking me or something.

"Hi Dylan" I said trying to smile. "Hey…I noticed you didn't eat so I um well sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed some chicken and rice for you" he said holding out a plate with food for me to take. I took the plate and smiled. "Thank you! Like a lot! You know I don't like fish" I said laughing. He laughed too. "Yeah…anyways I should get going… good night" he said and started to leave. "Wait!" I called after him. He turned to face me. "Um can I talk to you?" I asked quietly. "Okay…" he said. I let him enter the room. I let him sit down, and explained what happened at the library today (how I ended up with Cyrus) because I needed to tell someone and he was the only person I could trust right now.

"It all makes sense now!" he exclaimed. "Yeah…I guess it does…I feel a bit bad for hating Cyrus now…" I said drifting off. "He wanted to protect me…but I threw water on all his efforts, the attack on Wizard City are in a week and a half!" I said almost yelling. "It's not too late to change Alexis" Dylan said to me with hope in his eyes. "I-I don't know… I've found new friends here, I can do whatever I want, I'm second in charge and no one hates me here like they did in wizard city…you know I barely had friends there…" I said uncertainty in my voice. "Alexis, is this what you really want? After all Cyrus sacrificed for you and those who put their lives in danger…" Dylan said becoming quieter. "What?! Someone put their life in danger! Who!" I said wanting to know. "Cyrus, all the Ravenwood teachers, some students too…even Headmaster Ambrose" he said. I didn't know about, well any of this! But-but should I go back to Wizard City? I don't know… "Alexis, please come back to Wizard City with me…everyone misses you!"

"Dylan…if I do come back, Cyrus will be yelling his head off and Professor Ambrose will be giving me a lecture, no one will like me even then, nothing will change, I don't matter" I said trying to sound confident, which didn't work. Dylan put his hand on my shoulder and said "Alexis, I've known you since we've been 6 years old and you're telling me that nothing will change? It will change Alexis, everyone will be happy, I know it. As for you not mattering, you matter to me a lot" he said blushing at that sentence, so did I. "You matter to everyone, and I mean it" he finished. "I need some time to think" I said, feeling my head starting to spin. He got up. "I understand but think before you pick for sure ok?" he asked. "I will" I said nodding. He smiled. He walked to the door and waved bye, shutting the door on his way out. All I knew at that point was that I had a lot to think about…and my chicken and rice was getting cold….

How was it? More coming soon!
