Disclaimer: Do not own ANY of it…the Harry Potter bit of it…and a few other things…by the way I have a little reference to The CW's show Supernatural…I don't own that either…but it's a good show and everyone should watch it!
A/N: Ok…I just want to say that a lot of (odd) things are going to be revealed within the next couple of chapters so keep reading.
Also for those of you who are reading and saying 'OMG…poor Alex…', I just thought I would give you a heads up and say that…A lot of Shit happens to Alex…actually a lot of shit happens to all of them, but a lot of it is directed at her. (I am sad about that and it makes me cry…but lets just say it was like what J.K said after she killed off Sirius…she was sad about it, but it had to happen…
Oh by the way…I give a lot of clues to what is going to happen in the future so…on with the foreshadowing!
Twin Slayers, Twin Watchers
Chapter 12: Do we really have to keep…REMEMBERING!...and what is up with Mary?
Damien and Remus burst through the heavy metal doors into the amphitheater. Everyone turned to look except the Dementors surrounding the stage in the middle of the room. Damien and Remus looked up at the stage, and what they saw was a blonde petite looking girl with a dirty body and clothes sitting up against a stake. She had cuts all over her body and her prison uniform was ripped in multiple places. She looked up to see what had startled the guards.
She shook the hair out of her face and they saw the bruises that covered her once beautiful face. Her eyes were dull and tired but when her eyes moved over Remus and Damien, they lit up for a second and she smiled. But this caused the dementor standing next to her, to react. It glided over to her and leaned down, the dementor's rattling breath filled the room as it sucked her soul from her body.
Damien was the first to recover, and he raced towards the stage at full speed. Alicia came in right after he took off. She stopped dead in her tracks at the sight in front of her.
In this fairly large room there was a stage at the center of it with a blonde girl sitting at the center. The girl's face was being held by a dementor, and the girl's soul was slowly making its way towards the creature. Surrounding the girl and the dementor were over 20 other dementors who were all watching. At the edges of the room, were about 10 guards who were watching all this go down.
Now after all this she saw her son racing towards the large mob, at full speed.
Damien ran towards the dementors, mind blank. They turned to face him, but the only one he saw was the one that had a hold on his sister's face. Time felt like it was going in slow motion. To Damien, it felt like it had taken hours for him to leap onto the stage.
Alex's face was blank. Damien came up and body slammed the Dementor. It hit the floor and disappeared.
"YOU CAN KNOCK DOWN A DEMENTOR LIKE THAT! HOW COME NO ONE INFORMED ME OF THIS?!" Alicia screamed. Remus stared, jaw dropped. Alex jerked back to life and Damien bent down to check on her. She just grinned at him then punched him lightly.
"What took you so long?" She coughed. He helped her to her feet. Alicia and Remus both sighed in relief. But then the remaining dementors flew at Damien and Alex.
Alicia screamed when she could no longer see her children. Both her and Remus started towards them but were stopped when a bright light filled the room. A light which nearly blinded everyone who didn't shield their eye's in time. After a few seconds the light started to die down and first they saw the dementor's cloaks lying on the ground and then they saw Damien holding Alex, wand nowhere to be seen, and then they saw Alex with her left hand outstretched as she chanted a few latin phrases. The light totally disappeared and everyone stared at her mouths totally open to any stray fly wanting to make a home.
"What?" she asked in a raspy voice as she shrugged her shoulders…
"You can tackle dementors?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Hey it shocked me as much as any of you…I thought about it after, and I thought I would have just gone straight through it." Damien said.
"Does that mean you can bash a dementor in the face?" Sirius asked innocently.
"I guess…" Remus said suspiciously. Sirius grinned.
"As great and dandy as that knowledge is…shouldn't we be getting back to your story?" Bethanie asked in annoyance.
Alex sighed then nodded.
"So…"
They had arrived at the Burrow a little past noon. Alicia ran ahead of Remus who was carrying Alex because she had passed out right after they had gotten on the boat away from the prison.
"MOLLY!!" Alicia slammed open the kitchen door. "MOLLY! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"Right here! I am RIGHT HERE!" Alicia spun around to face her. "What's going on?"
"We got her…" At this moment most of the Weasley clan flooded into the kitchen.
"You got her? Really?" Ginny asked.
"Where is she?" Arthur asked.
"Remus and Damien were not far behind me…I came ahead to make preparations…Oh Molly…she's in such bad shape…we got there and she was milliseconds away from the dementors kiss…"
"WHAT?!" Half the room yelled.
"We got there and we were signing the release forms when we heard her scream…they were taking her to get executed…we got there and they were already taking her soul…then Damien tackled a dementor…which was actually one of the oddest things I think I have ever seen…" Alicia stared at the ceiling for a moment. Then Remus's form came through the doorway carrying a large bundle which was in fact a girl.
"Oh Remus…come…we'll take her up to Ginny's room…"
They laid her battered body onto the bed.
"Now back off…all of you!" Molly ordered. She did a few minor healing spells to diminish the pain and heal some of the wounds. "Poor girl…she has such a charming face…just the way I remembered her…"
"Now come on Molly…don't start crying now…" Alicia said. "If you start crying, then I'll start crying…and then…oh! It will just be a disaster!"
"You're right! Ok…we'll all take turns watching her like we did when Damien was hurt."
"You guys watched me sleep?" Damien asked somewhat appalled.
"Yes…to make sure you didn't choke on your own tongue…" George said.
"You should be grateful…we suggested cutting it out for you, but mum didn't like the idea…" Fred added.
"Oh…Stop it you two!" Mrs.Weasley yelled. "Out!"
She slammed the door in all of their faces.
Alex had slept through most of the day and into the night, and as Mrs.Weasley said, they had each taken turns watching her. It was currently Damien's turn to watch her. He was sitting there doing his charms homework in the moonlight coming from the window and glancing at his sister out of the corner of his eye. At 4 minutes past midnight, she started to toss. He stood up and set his book on the nightstand. He moved towards her bed and reached out towards her. Her face was in an expression of pure fright. Then, before Damien could rouse her, she let out a blood curtailing scream that woke the whole household.
She jumped up in the bed, standing on her feet. She lost her balance and fell hitting her head on the nightstand opposite Damien.
"What the bloody hell is going on in here?!" Remus yelled, as he was the first to get there. Everyone else followed him in and he flipped on the lights with a flick of his wand.
Damien was standing there in shock on the side of the bed closest to the door, but Alex was nowhere to be seen.
"She just freaked out!" He finally said. They moved around the bed to the side Alex disappeared behind. She was there, sitting in the corner. She had tears of blood flowing down her cheeks and she was breathing heavily. They also saw that her knuckles were raw and bleeding also.
Alicia moved up to her daughter and kneeled down to her height. Alicia lightly took Alex's hands in her own and looked curiously at her daughter.
"What happened to you?" Alicia asked lightly. Alex shook her head.
"It's why I couldn't go to sleep…"
"What is?"
"….."
"Alex…?"
"…I get these visions…visions of death and pain and suffering…"
There was complete silence in the room.
"Why?" Alicia finally asked.
"I don't know…"
"Do you know how?"
"The Powers that Be…"
Alicia groaned.
"I hate those guys…"
"Alex…Why is it only when you sleep?" Remus asked.
"Because I can't control my conscience when I am asleep…My subconscious isn't as powerful as my conscience. Sometimes though even if I am awake I will get a really powerful vision that can break through my conscience mind…but that is rare…"
"…And so is this why you refused to go to sleep in Azkaban?"
Alex nodded.
"When did this start happening?"
"About 2, 3 years ago…"
"What brought it on?" Mr. Weasley asked.
"Umm…well I was in a coma…and then a few nights after I woke up I started having them…they started off small, only a few here and there, and then they slowly worked themselves up to every night…"
"…And the blood?" Alicia asked her.
"…is connected with what I see…that just started happening not to long ago…"
"So what cause that?" Remus motioned at her eyes. She wiped off the blood with the back of her hand but winced because of the cuts on her knuckles. She chuckled.
"You probably won't believe me…"
"Try us."
"…." She just stared at them for a minute.
"Alex?"
"Bloody Mary…" She giggled at the shocked faces around the room.
"She's a real person?!"
"Was…she's dead now…Ahh…" The marks faded and the blood disappeared. "Double-dead now…" Jaws dropped around the room.
"What the hell?" Fred and George said simultaneously. Molly smacked them both upside the head and Alex laughed.
"There were these two guys…brothers…they hunt demons and they were hunting her because she was killing people that had secrets that involved the death of someone…what she does is as she looks at you through the mirror she causes your eyes pretty much spontaneously combust…and well…she kills you…"
"But why?" Damien asks.
"Well…" Alex rubs her head. "…In Fort Wayne, Indiana, there was an unsolved murder involving a Mary Worthington…" She rubbed her head again, straining to remember.
"It's ok…take your time…" Remus told her.
"Umm… her killer had cut out her eyes and murdered her in front of a mirror…it trapped her soul…she had tried to write the name of her assassin on the mirror, but she died before she could fully spell it out…The detectives thought it was the doctor in town…the local surgeon…umm…he and Mary were having an affair…and Mary was going to tell his wife…" She stopped.
"Why did everything disappear like that?" Alicia asked. Alex looked down at her hands.
"Well…lately it means that it happened…they killed her…"
"Who? The brothers?" She nodded. "How?"
"Well the younger brother had a secret that involved the death of his girlfriend and then his wife…two different people at two different times…and well he called her from the mirror that she was killed in front of and when she showed up, he started smashing everything she showed up in…and uhh…they were in an antique mirror store…so…"
"…there was a lot to smash…" Ginny said.
"Yeah…ummm…" She massaged her head again trying to remember the vision. "She got a hold of him before he could smash her mirror and she started accusing him of things…then the older brother came in and smashed her mirror with his fist…but it wasn't enough because she came out of the frame…corporeal…then she attacked them both…they fell down to the ground…eyes bleeding and…ahhh!" She screamed and clutched her head. Alicia reached out to her. "It's nothing…aftershock…just getting the aftermath of the vision…uhhh…the older brother picked up one of the mirrors beside him and held it up to her. Her reflection accused her of all the murders she had committed and she exploded. Then they smashed the mirror."
"……"
"That sucks…"
"Yeah I'm guessing the store owner is going to have some fun with the insurance guys tomorrow…" Alex said with a smile. They just stared at her. "Have you got anything to eat? I'm starving!"
"Enter Molly." Remus said sarcastically.
"Move out of the way Remus…Come on dear…I'll get some decent food in your system…no more prison food for you!"
"There was food in prison?" Alex said in confusion. Everyone stared at her.
Molly just helped her up and they made their way down to the kitchen.
"So…Molly sure got a surprise when she ran out of food before Alex was full..." Alicia said.
"She marked it down at first as the lack of food in Azkaban…" Ginny added.
"Then she found out I just like to eat!" Alex said blissfully.
"They get along well together…" Damien said. "Alex likes to eat and Molly likes to feed people an extensive amount of food at every sitting."
"The rest of us were happy too, because Molly was to busy with Alex so she forgot that the rest of us had only had a meal fit for one person…" Remus said. They all laughed.
A/N: Sorry that it is so short, I just want to get as many chapters down as possible. I'm doing pretty good…for now at least…maybe my writers block is diminishing slightly…
This is good…very good…
I will get going on the next chapter then. I'm sick right now so I have just been sitting here on my computer all day…might as well do something productive…right?
