Author's Note: I'm sorry. I'll be on vacation until July 17th. There are no computers, so I can't update. I'll be back for the weekend, then on July 19th, I'm going to camp for another two weeks.

Sorry, Devil's Sunrise. I did see them, I was just too tired to make the connection. Thanks!!!

Welcome to My Side of the River

Sonya

Alexa's POV

I was at the banquet when it happened.

It was Iggy's 15th birthday. The Royal Family was at dinner. I was serving some of the food.

Suddenly, the door burst open.

Erasers.

No, no, no… My worst nightmare had become reality.

The Flock jumped up into battle stances. Iggy pushed me behind him, to protect me.

Unfortunately, this only drew the attention of the head Eraser at me.

The lead Eraser looked at me, and subtly smiled. He recognized me. Crap, crap, crap…

"We're not going back to Itex." Max said boldly. "So go away, or we will make you go away."

"We're not here for you." The leader stated. "We're here for her." He gestured towards me.

Time to dispel the illusion I had so carefully crafted. "I'll go back to Itex when Hell freezes over." I snarled.

I brushed past Iggy. Now I was protecting them.

"Come with us willingly, or come with us after we kill them, we don't care which."

"How about Option C: I kick all of your butts, and you go crying back to your mommies. Oh, wait. You'd be crying back to your mages, wouldn't you?"

He tensed in anticipation of the fight. "You won't succeed."

"Won't I?" The black fire appeared, and I transformed into Nyx.
