Dark Love
Ch.14
The rest of the truth about her past
(Season finale)
Alexis started to wake up from her terrible nightmare. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked around her. She didn't know where she was and she was shivering from the cold that had engulfed her. She now saw that it was dark. Her clothes were wet and she was laying half in and half out of the water. Alexis felt weak in the body and struggled to get herself out and on dry land.
After 5 minutes of struggling with her uncooperative body she finally made it out and gotten herself on her feet. She began to walk and felt herself in a daze of some sorts. She didn't want too revel in her where about. Shoot, she didn't even know where she was going for Christ's sake. All she knew was that she had to get going and find her way back to David and the castle.
And thats when she heard it! The sound of a wolf howling and footsteps behind her. She stiffened and then tried to find a way to hide. When she saw none Alexis began to run and run she did. She ran for her life and didn't dare look back at who was following her. Why couldn't they just leave me alone, she thought as she ran. The footsteps were getting louder and louder as she continued to run.
Who ever it was was getting closer and closer to her. She tripped on her own feet and cursed out loud. It seemed to have been twisted. She looked down at herself and grimaced. She had forgotten that she was wearing only a see through night gown and no shoes on. Struggling to her feet Alexis limped her way to a nearby tree and his herself behind it. Controlling her ragged breath Alexis concentrated on whoever it was and listened to the footsteps.
When she heard the footsteps stop by the tree Alexis stopped breathing and made sure that she didn't make a noise. She heard sniffing and guessed that he was not human but a werewolf and was sniffing for her scent. Alexis waited there behind the tree and made sure that her mind was clear and she breathing even.
He or she must not have been a very good vampire because he or she had passed her and didn't even look back. Counting her blessings Alexis sighed but stayed where she was for 5 minutes more and then began to move again.
She didn't know how she did it but some how Alexis made and found her way back to the castle. She was relived, dirty, smelly, scared, angry, hurt, and on and on. She could go on with the list and wouldn't have cared at the moment. All she wanted to do was sleep…maybe forever. She was so tired and couldn't keep her eyes open. She found the front door locked and groaned inwardly.
"What the fuck man! I do not need this shit at this moment!" she said yelling aloud. Making her way around the mansion Alexis found her room window and decided to climbing it. She knew that it would hurt her ankle like hell but didn't care. It was just one more thing too add to her list. Sighing out of frustration Alexis began to climb. She reached the window and tested the lock. "If I find out that this shit is locked", she said aloud.
"Ohhh, somebody's gong to get fucked up! she thought to herself and then smiled when it was actually opened. Guess no ones going to get fucked up, she thought as she climbed inside and then closed and locked the window in place.
Instead of changing right away Alexis decided to go find David and her…her…the king. She still couldn't get used to that. Going towards the door Alexis opened it up and looked down the hallway trying to remember where it was that she had seen David's room or his office. Intending to go to his room Alexis started walking and then after 5 minutes of trying she was about to give up when she heard voices coming from inside a room.
Going towards it while still limping Alexis mad sure that she didn't make a noise. She reached the door and opened it slightly so she could see who it was that was in there. Masking a gasp Alexis saw that it was David. Her heart almost gave out on her. He was in chains and his head was hanged low. Her heart beating in her chest Alexis recalled the dream that she had, had that one night. Shuddering Alexis made herself stay quiet. But the difference between the dream was that someone was inside there. She made herself listened as her gave drifted back towards David every once in a while.
Whoever it was started to speak again and Alexis gasped as she recognized the voices. But the one that she couldn't believe made her seethe in anger. Forcing herself not to think of anything Alexis listened and kept quiet.
This is what Alexis heard…
"What news have you of her where about," he asked as he stared at his servant who was cowing before him in terror. He loved them like that. To fear him.
"Nothing so far your highness," Lestat said as he kept himself kneeling down on one knee and his head down. He hated it when he had to reduce himself to this shit. HE would rule the day when he messed with him and his family. HE looked over at David with concern and back towards the ground.
"Your brother was foolish to think that he could take me on," he said laughing evilly as he stared at the now unconscious David.
"Your highness, there have been word that a young girl was spotted just a few minutes ago in the woods. One of our men had caught her scent and went chasing after her." Alester said to him. Alester hated what he had to do and he to looked down at David with concern. Their brother had lost a lot of blood and Alexis was still missing in action. Thank Good! he thought as he looked back up at the king and grimaced.
"Well, where is she!" he bellowed as he got up from his chair and headed for the both of them. Wincing as he grabbed them both by the collar Alester spoke again.
"They have not found her yet sir. He had lost her scent," he said. The king dropped them to the ground and then went to pacing around the room.
"She must be found. If she is not found before this night is over you all will face my wrath!" he said as he turned back abruptly to them. Turning back around The King paced again and then started to speak to himself. "The little fool she doesn't know the power that she reels inside of her. Her father was a fool to have mated with a human. Let alone have the abomination she had carried inside of her. It was a good thing that my men killed her when I found out. If she was to live I would not have succeeded in my plans. But the dammed fool escaped with his daughter and fled the area. Lucifer! How I hate that name! If it wasn't for him I would have been king of the vampires. Father always did like him best." He said and then looked up and then stopped pacing to go get himself a brandy to settle his nerves.
"If that girl is allowed to live then my plans would have been for nothing. I must have her powers if I wan to carry it out. How I despise this whole family of mines." He said and then looked back at Lestat and Alester with sharp piercing eyes.
Back to Alexis…
Alexis could not breathe properly. Her heart had skipped a couple of beats and then felt like it had stopped all together. He was not her father, and worse of all he was her uncle and was out to kill her for some power that she didn't even know that she had inside of her. Looking down at her hands Alexis examined herself but found nothing of special about them or her at the moment. Sensing that someone was coming towards the door Alexis tried to run but tripped and landed instead by the door.
When she looked back up she saw that it was Lestat and Alester staring down at her in mock surprise. They hadn't expected her to come here and if they didn't get her out now she would be dead for sure. Alexis managed to not make a noise when she backed away from them. But then stopped when she felt a flutter inside her mind and then clamped a hand over her ears to get the sound out.
But when she realized that they were trying to say something to her instead of hurting her trying to take over her mind she looked back up at them and then released her hand from her ears. They moved towards her and then helped her up while closing the door to the room. Heading for David's room with the speed of light Alexis started to feel sick but decided to hold it in until she was inside the room.
When they arrived she ran to the bathroom and threw up whatever it was that she had, had. Coming back out after a while Alexis stared at them from the doorway. When they sensed her they both looked up and attempted for a smile but failed. She stayed where she was and continued to stare.
"What the fuck is going on here?" she asked as she started t talk when she couldn't take the silence any longer and then walked over to them.
"I guess you heard everything," Lestat said as he looked at her messing figure. She looked wary and mad.
"No shit Sherlock!" she said as she felt her knees wobbling and then crumble as she fell to the floor. Alester ran to help her up but she only held up a finger to indicate that she didn't want to be touched or moved.
"Ok, well the truth is that David is our brother. We were acting on a plan and then that's when you came along. We hadn't been intended to find you but then when David was describing to us the woman he had fell in love with and had showed us your picture…well that's when we started to put the pieces together and found out that it was you that George, your uncle, had been looking for." He said as he watched her face go from pale to red and then back to pale again.
"Brothers…uncle…plan. Ok this is a lot to take in." she said as she looked at them then put a hand to her forehead to rub them. A headache was brewing and she didn't think that' she would survive the night with everything that was going n. "So what are you guys going to do now?" she asked as struggled to get up and then lean a hand down onto the chair that was by her.
They both looked at her and then smiled. They had a plan to make everything right but it was going to be dangerous.
"Alexis…we have a plan" Alester said
"But it is going to be dangerous though," Lestat said "We want to know if you are in or out. David can't hold on much longer," he said. Alexis looked up sharply when he had said David's name and then smiled evilly.
"I'm in," she said standing up right. "If that fucker thinks that he could mess with me and my loved ones then he got another shit coming" she said "So whets the plan" she said and then went to them. They started to crouch around the bed and then told her the plan.
"Ok, got it?" Alester asked
"Got it," she said getting up and heading towards the bathroom.
"Where are you going?" Lestat asked looking after her. She truly was beautiful. David was lucky.
"Excuse me!' she asked as she stared at him "Do you expect me to stay like this forever?" she asked as she looked down at her night gown and then regretted I when she looked back up and saw them blushing but gawking at her,
"Sure why not. You look ok to us," Alester said giving her a smile that would break any girl's heart.
"But you would look even better without any clothes on too," Lestat said.
"Perverts," she said as she ran to the bathroom and before she closed it behind her she turned around and glared at them while giving them an evil smile that made hem frown. "Wait till I tell David about this. Wonder what he'll do," she thought and then thought about all the nasty and evil things that she could make David do to them. She knew that they had seen her images when they paled. Laughing at them she closed the door and went about the task of taking a shower.
