(Alexis is all mine, as well as the story line) DivaLuna*
[Chapter 1]
Alexis sat in the garden with her laptop balanced on her knees, she
smiled faintly at the screen. Satisfied at what she had done, she didn''t
turn when she heard her name being called. Not until Sister Alice gripped
her shoulder did she carefully folded her laptop and tuck it under her arm.
"There is someone here to see you my dear," she said smoothing a wrinkle on her uniform. Alexis didn't answer, she wasn't expected to. Walking back to the main dormitory she opened the door and was surprised to hear the voice of her mother in the hall. She wasn't who Alexis had been expecting. Carefully closing the door behind her, she took the long way to her room, let her mother find her. Closing her door behind she automatically reached to turn the lock and sighed remembering the were no locks in the Institution for Young Brilliant but Troubled Minds. There were no perks for being crazy, that was for sure. And the Institution for Young Brilliant but Troubled Minds was a 'nice' institution compared to most, but the food still was atrocious. Alexis couldn't think want it would be like to be a poor crazy person. Her mother stepped into her room and interrupted her thoughts as she always did. "Alexis, dear, there you are, I have been looking for you," her mother Katherine Eriksson said, awkwardly hugging her daughter. "Your father and I have missed you so much," she added. Alexis smiled inwardly, they only missed her after she stopped letting them copy her patents, they only missed the money. But her expression didn't change. Her mother continued, "I know that it's been difficult lately but I was hoping you could come home soon...when you get better that is." Alexis sat quietly on her bed, watching her mother. She hadn't spoken to this woman for a while but she had to say these words, "You know very well I don't need to get better." Her mothers eyes widened but she didn't say anything, carefully placed a paper bag on the ground she turned and left, leaving the door open. Alexis crept off her bed on her hands and knees and tilted the edge of the paper bag towards her. Her eyes widened and she smiled ever so slightly, glancing at the door she picked it up and scrunched it under her bed. Licking her lips she stood and solemnly opened her laptop and illegally accessed the internet. There was a e-mail she had to send. * Not far away in a rather well to do neighborhood five messages blinked on the answering machine and 'You Got Mail' blinked across the computer screen.
(Not to worry (or maybe this will disappoint you) nobody will be smooching anybody...at least not for now and probably not this story. It is a action/adventure/suspense fic!) DivaLuna*
