Part 9

Two and a half months later-

"Alexis?" She smiled at the voice but made no attempt to move from the chair she was sitting in.

"In here." She called back as she waited for him to find her. He did, he always did.

"I was starting to get worried. You've been gone for little more then two months now." He told her, placing a hand on her chair.

"What are you talking about; I've been gone for about 2 hours, Stefan." She said, confused.

"Stefan?" Her brother's voice asked, slowly fading into Sonny's. She spun around to face him and almost jumped out of the chair.

"Alexis, it's me. I've missed you." Sonny told her before he pulled her into his arms. She relaxed against him until a cold laugh rang in her ears. She froze as the voice whispered in her ears.

"You'll never have him, not even your little secret will win him over." Alexis pulled away and found herself looking into Carly's cold eyes.

"Don't run from me, Consoler." Carly said, grabbing for Alexis' hand again. Alexis pushed away the other woman causing Carly to fall and bang her head. Carly blond hair fell in front of her face and when Alexis blinked it turned red. Taking a caution step forward her heart dropped when she saw the blood dripping down her little sister's face.

"Kristina." Alexis chocked out, rushing over and bending down.

"Alexis, what happened? What did you do?" The red head asked slowly, her eyes starting to close. Alexis was at a loss for words and almost stopped breathing when Kristina did.

"KRISTINA!" Alexis yelled out as she shot up in her bed, sweat dripping off her body. Her dark eyes slowly adjusted to the dark room and she remembered where she was.

"Alexis, what wrong?" She found Stefan asking her as he knelt by her bed.

"Nothing, bad dream." She told him her voice horse.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked her, doing whatever to help her.

She told her life long confident about her dream and he listened to her every word. By the time she had finished she was calmer.

"So what do you think, Stefan?" She asked him and he looked right into her eyes before saying.

"I think you need to face them." He told her, knowing that that was not what he wanted to hear.

I..I don't know if I can." She whispered but he heard her.

"You never know what you can do until you try." He said before standing up.

"I'll be in my room if you need anything." With that he was gone. She sat in her bed for another five minutes with the covers pulled tightly against her before she slipped out of the bed and picked up the phone. She had to call her sister.
