Alexandra sat up as the last of the blue light was fading. Moonlight shines through the trees and the only sound was the wind in the leaves. She reached toward her feet and stretched, rubbing the funny feeling from her legs before standing up and scanning the dim woods. Alexandra brushed the bangs out of her eyes and closes them. Black feathered wings grow smoothly out of her back. She stretches them luxuriously and smiles, then ran toward an opening in the trees and leaps into the air.

Below her was an impressive expanse of trees, with grasslands in front of her and mountains in the distance. Beautiful...now concentrate! This isn't LA. Not even close. Was I moved? Why? Who did it? Fuck it Lexi, one thing at a time. Figure out where you are, landmarks, something. She spotted the telltale glow of a small city and flew closer.

Alexandra glided in circles over the strangely tinted city. "Is that city pink? And why does it smell like a candy store even at this height? Oh look, a castle. Is it a theme park?" Movement over the forest drew her attention away from the city and toward a figure, floating just above the trees a few hundred feet away. Alexandra hovered, fixated on the figure. The person swooped up at an unnatural speed and stopped a few feet away from her. Not exactly his brightest move. Caught by surprise, Lexi got defensive, eyes turning red and growling quietly.

The boy cocked his head and accidentally floated an inch or two closer. Feeling threatened, the demoness grabbed his forearm with a suddenly-clawed hand and kicked him in the stomach. Not exactly her brightest move. Immediately the boy's eyes turned black, with red pupils, and he attacked. Roughly a minute later he had the upper hand. Both of them. As Alexandra hangs in his grasp Marshall Lee pants and stares at the she-creature.

She had vivid purple eyes-the red having faded mid way through their tussle, ash-blond hair, and mildly tanned skin clad in blue skinny jeans, an unfamiliar band's t-shirt, and sneakers. Hanging from a black leather belt was the dull golden hilt of a dagger, the blade concealed in it's sheath, and a medium sized pouch. Her eyes glinted before scanning him in a businesslike manner.

After thoroughly looking at him, she met his eyes and asked, "Where's your crest?" "Huh?" Her eyes narrowed in disapproval. Every grade-school aged demon knows this. "The sign of your Lord? The guy who takes responsibility for your actions on Earth?" No answer. Alexandra sighed in annoyance. "What idiot let you out of Hell?" "What?!" If her hands were free she would have rubbed her forehead. "I don't suppose you know where I can find a rose?" It's good that she wasn't expecting an answer by now. He wasn't being very helpful.

Alexandra disappeared from his grasp and floated toward the privacy of the woods, leaving behind a confused vampire. Materialising on the ground, she leaned on a tree and rubbed her head. She had never been very good at floating, and doing so while invisible was a hassle. The demoness made it her goal to find a rose. "I need to talk to Dad... I think I was frozen for longer than I thought. Seriously, how did I not hear about a new theme park? I'm certain that the media would would have found a pink, candy land inspired park worthy of coverage."

Alexandra and Lexi are the same girl, as I'm sure you've guessed. Lexi is a nickname. Something to break up the monotony of she, her, Alexandra, etc.

I have the next chapter planned out and stuff will all be explained in time. You won't believe the thought I've given to how her "kingdom" works. Thank you for making it this far and remember, feedback is awesome! (Thanks krikanalo.)

And I'd like to clear up something, no one's brought it up, but still. I did not make Alexandra blond to try to make her "sexier". I was raised to be racist against blonds. Blame stereotypes. Me making an OC blond is pretty much me coming to terms with this racism and trying to overcome it. This doesn't mean other characters won't make blond jokes (though I'm not planning on it). This is just a personal thing. Me coming to terms with the idea that blonds are people too, you could say. That's all.

Bye
