Chapter 6
Visitor
Lexi found herself lying on a warm beach; she could hear the sound of the waves crashing as they floated back to shore, and the seagulls chirping sporadically as they played, diving through the gorgeous blue sky.
She rolled over and saw Squids bright green eyes and she smiled to herself.
Suddenly she felt shaking; she opened her eyes and saw a woman of about 30 whom she hadn't seen since all the girls were sent to Alaska, three years ago.
"Ms. Volcom?" Lexi asked astonished, rubbing her eyes to ensure she wasn't still dreaming.
"Hi sweet pea!" Ms. Volcom said smiling as she sat on the edge of Lexi's cot.
"Call me Vikki, Lexi. Seems like it has been awhile since I've seen you." She said pushing Lexi's bangs out of her face and tucking them behind her ear.
"Feels like forever anyways." Lexi said simply, sitting up. "So what are you doing here?"
"Taking you to the hospital with me, of course. I can't face that on my own. Now, get dressed."
Lexi obeyed automatically; she went to the trunk in front of her bed and pulled out a pair of capri sweatpants. They were blue and had 'Lacrosse' written down them in a darker shade of blue. The word 'Hillcrest' was imprinted across the back, and '#8' on the front right side. She rolled up the sweats so there was a messy, but cute roll in the middle of her calf. She slid on her chestnut half boo Uggs and a white v-neck shirt over top. She quickly brushed her long, straight blonde hair and then brushed her teeth.
"Done." She said smiling at Vikki.
"I wrote a note for the girls, so they won't worry." Vikki said as she was leaving the tent.
Lexi quickly went around and gave everyone a quiet peck on the cheek. She then hurried to the flap to leave.
"Be safe." Was all Lexi whispered as she took off towards the lights on Vikki's red Mercedes.
