CHAPTER 25

I sighed as I lied down in Blood's secret garden. I don't know how long I've been there but I didn't care. I had a lot on my mind concerning my love for Ace. I sighed and continued to watch the clouds.

Suddenly I heard some voices. The voices of Blood and Vivaldi. I quickly shut my eyes pretending to sleep.

~BLOOD'S POINT OF VIEW~

As I walked towards my secret garden with my sister I noticed someone was laying on the grass.

"Ah if it isn't Alexis" Vivaldi said. She smiled "She's so cute when she sleeps"

I slightly nodded "Yeah I guess" I said.

Vivaldi smiled and let out a slight giggle "I'm surprised that she fell asleep outside" she said. "especially outside when its a little windy" she said.

I slightly sighed "she sleeps just about anywhere...its a weird habit of her's" I stated.

Vivaldi just smiled and kneeled down to take some leaves out of Alexis' hair and brushed her bangs out of her face.

I looked at Alexis and smiled. I don't know why but whenever I see her I cant help but smile.

Vivaldi then stood up. "Alright now lets get to business" she said crossing her arms.

I nodded, I then placed my coat over Alexis, just because I didn't want her to catch another cold. "You know how Ace has upset Alexis over and over right?" I asked.

Vivaldi nodded. "Yes, Alexis has told me about it in some of her letters and when she has visited me" she said

"The only way I thought of for her to forget Ace is to basically seduce her" I stated "Alexis is the type of girl who likes attention but is to shy to actually admit it" I continued.

"Yes go on" Vivaldi said.

I sighed. "Knowing Alexis, if she is seduced by someone else, she will most likely forget Ace" I stated. "I'm not 100% sure if it will work though" I added.

"That's a pretty good idea" Vivaldi said.

"so I was thinking that I should seduce her, I mean Alexis and I are already close enough" I stated.

"I don't really like that idea of you seducing her since you already tried to seduce Alice and that didn't work" Vivaldi pointed out.

"Alexis isn't like Alice you know that" I said.

"That is true...." she said. "Fine I'll allow you to seduce her since you seem serious about this" she said. "but I wont allow you to make her cry, I don't want her to be in any pain like she was in the past"

I sighed. I don't get why my sister was so protective over Alexis. I knew that they were close since she lived at the castle for a while, but I didn't really notice how protective she was of her.

"I'd never make her cry, Alexis is special to me like she is to you" I stated with a sigh. I slightly blushed, I never liked saying cheesy stuff like that, but if it concerned Alexis, I didn't mind.

"Fine" Vivaldi said. "But I'm going to keep my eye on you"

"Do what you want" I said. "I'm only doing this to make her smile like she used to"

"Well lets just hope that your idea works" she said as she crossed her arms.

"I'm pretty sure that it will" I stated.

Vivaldi looked at me "well I should get going" she said.

Suddenly Alexis sat up "Oh hey Vivaldi!" she said.

Vivaldi looked at Alexis "did you overhear everything we said?" she asked.

"nope....though I did hear something about wanting to see me smile again or something like that" she said as she got up and dusted herself off.

"Oh okay" she said.

"By the way...." Alexis said "What is your relationship with Blood?" she asked as she pointed at me.

"We're old friends" she said.

"Old friends....is that so?" she asked.

Both Vivaldi and I nodded. We didn't want to spoil the fact that we were siblings, we would rather have her figure it out herself then to actually tell he.

"but I thought you guys hated each other" she said.

"She has a point there" I stated.

"We don't exactly hate each other we just don't agree with some things" Vivaldi said as she brushed Alexis' bangs out of her face once again.

"Oh....I get it! Your relationship with Blood is like my relationship with my big brother" she pointed out. "Luke and I don't really get along, He has a sister-complex and I don't like it" she said.

"I thought your brother's name was Lucas" Vivaldi said.

"Luke's just his nickname. I call him Luke more than his actual name...." she said "you know its kinda like my nickname is Alex" she pointed out.

"Oh" Vivaldi said. "well I should get going back to the castle"

"Be careful on your way home Vivaldi!" Alexis said as she waived goodbye to her.

Vivaldi smiled "Alright" she said. She then left.

I then looked at Alexis. "Its pretty late, shall we have a little tea party and get to bed?" I asked.

Alexis nodded "sounds good to me" she said "as long as I don't have the type of tea that keeps me up all night" she stated as she started to laugh.

I laughed as well. I patted her head. "Alright" I said.

~ALEXIS' POINT OF VIEW~

It was about the time after the tea party I had with everyone I was basically half asleep. I mean my body was tired but I wasn't exactly tired. That happens to me every once in a while when I drink tea that makes me tired.

Blood got up "Alexis shall I take you to your room...you seem tired" he said.

I looked at Blood. Since I woke up from my "nap" he hasn't exactly left my side. "Why do you ask?" I asked.

"You look so tired that you don't want to get up off your seat" he pointed out.

"True" I said as I started to laugh.

Blood laughed "well then" he said as he picked me up "I'll take you to your room" he said. "Elliot, make sure that the maids pick up after you guys are done finishing up eating" he said.

Elliot nodded "alright' he said.

Blood smiled then carried me off to my room.

Once we were in my room he placed me on my bed. "get some sleep you really need it" he said.

I nodded. "Alright" I said "thanks for carrying me into my room"

Blood smiled then walked out of my room.

I looked up at the ceiling. I didn't exactly know what Blood was up to, Even though I pretended to sleep I actually fell asleep so I don't know what Blood and Vivaldi were actually talking about. I sighed and shook my head to stop thinking about it, its not like it was important or anything they were probably talking about something else and I am just being paranoid or something.

Okay this turned out shorter then I thought it would be....oh well

Anyways I have a 4 day weekend. I have no school tomarrow, mainly because some sort of teacher meeting thing so they cancelled all classes for Thursday. So I'll work on Chapter 26 and other chapters. I might start a new Fanfiction of my current favorite anime Kuroshitsuji and of course work on my HW.

Chapter 26 preview: Blood asks Alexis to take a bath with him (part of his plan to seduce her) and of course Blood is being a bit of a pervert and tells Alexis that she's rather bold for getting the tub with him. She tells him that she doesnt mind since she thinks of him as family. Blood not liking the idea that she thinks of him as a family tells her that he doesnt think of her as family and tells her that he thinks of her more than just a friend (basically saying he loves her or something like that) they later on get interupted by Elliot and the twins.

I'll probably have chapter 26 up tonight! I mean, I have nothing else to do and I have no school on Thrusday so I plan on staying up all night so yeah...
