1 Part 1
Alexis sat at her bench in her history class, almost drifting of to sleep.
"Alexis, tell me which vampire who was soulmates with Jez Redfern the Wild power." Mr Holt asked. Lex hadn't been listening to any of the lesson; she never felt the point she seemed to have an affinity for pre millennium war history.
"Morgread Blackthorn" Lex responded. Mr Holt eyes flashed he had been hoping to catch her out.
"Who was Ash Redfern's soulmate?" he fired out quickly, trying to get her to make a mistake.
"Mary-Lynnette Carter." Lex spat out. She hated the girl for some reason; she had always seemed so weak and pathetic.
"Answer this then, which member of the Daybreak team was in reality a Nightworld spy." He asked with a spiteful tone in his voice. Lex searched her mind for the relevant piece of information but came up a blank. She could remember anything that happened after Morgread killed Mary-Lynnette.
"I don't know" Lex had to admit.
"See little miss know it all really does need to listen in History" Mr Holt crowed. Lex was seething. How dare some jumped up lamia tutor dictate to her? Her Redfern guardians forced her to attend these pointless lessons with their own children.
After her parents had been killed by a hunter Lex was dumped on her parent's friends, Rose and Hart Redfern. In Lex's opinion they were the most pitiful excuse for vampires she had ever seen. They believed that the vermin had feelings, so they forbid Lex to play with them. The only upside was that she got to live in the Redfern mansion. Three of the most import figures in night world history lived there. Hunter Redfern, Ash Redfern and John Quin. Quin though not technically a Redfern was still the Redfern heir.
Lex could almost hit her head of the desk, Quin he was the spy, why didn't she remember that sooner.
"Quin" Lex yelled out.
"What?" Mr Holt asked.
"Quin was the spy." Lex told him in a level voice. Mr Holt looked ready to murder her.
"Alexis please pay attention we have moved on from that." He almost yelled.
"I was paying attention, you asked a question and I gave you the answer." Lex shouted. Getting to her feet. Mr Holt opened his moth to say something. Before he could say anything Lex cut him off.
"I'm sick of these pointless lessons. I'm leaving." Lex yelled. There was a collective gasp from three of the Redferns. The forth, Jezebel, just sat there with a smile on her face. Her parents had named her after the Wild power. They thought they should honour her. Lex thought this was a ludicrous idea. Why should they honour someone who worked for the downfall of the Nightworld? In Lex's opinion this was just another thing that proved her guardians were pathetic vampires. Luckily their daughter, even though she had been named after the traitor, had sense. She and Lex revelled in causing havoc together.
//Way to go Lex. // Jez said.
//Thanks Jez, just doing my part to make sure the world doesn't go smoothly. // Lex replied. Lex felt the laughter bubble up in Jez.
"Be seeing you, or not." Lex said to Mr Holt on her way towards the door.
When Lex was a couple of feet from the door she heard a knock. The door swung open and one of the human servants shuffled in. Lex glared at the vermin as it walked by. It handed a piece of paper to Mr Holt then shuffled out again without ever saying a word. As the vermin was shuffling by her a second time Lex had the urge to stick out her foot and trip it up but she resisted the urge.
Lex had her had on the doorknob when My Holt called after her.
"Alexis, Lord Hunter wants to see you" He told her, he couldn't hide the glee in his voice, obviously he thought that Hunter was going to punish her is some way. Lex automatically put on her expressionless mask; it was the only expression that could be used when dealing with Hunter. She opened the door and stepped out into the vast corridor.
