Alexis had awoken to the sunlight peeking through the window curtains, shining on her face. As she sat up in bed, Oramis walked in.

"It's time to get up, your 30 minutes late." He stated, glaring at her.

"I don't understand why we have to wake up so early..." She said, rubbing her eyes while yawning.

"Because you need all the practice you can get." He said bluntly. "By the way, what was your purpose again for being out in the woods?" He asked with a curious expression.

Alexis sighed before beginning. "The town that I had lived in was attacked by vampires. I was fighting this one vampire that seemed to be in charge, he asked me a weird question, I was saved by another guy, my savior killed my parents and so I went looking for him.... I guess I fell asleep in the woods.." She looked away. "I was wanting to get revenge."

There was a long silence before Oramis spoke up. "What did the vampire ask of you?"

Alexis looked at him a little confused. "He asked where Carol and Lucifer where... I don't even know who those people are. He asked if I know where my parents where which I think is pretty weird since he was at the same place as my parents and then he called me Alexis when my name is Jolie."

His eyes widened after hearing what the vampire had said. He quickly averted his gaze from here and looked towards the window. "You should go and get your things. You will be staying here. Do it quickly and bring only essentials like clothing."

"Why should I?" She asked.

"Your town may be attacked again and if you want to get revenge then you will need to learn how to fight. The only proper way for that to happen is if you stay here and let me teach you. Or would you rather let your parents killer get away?" He asked, now facing her once again.

She nodded and walked out of the house with Oramis close behind. "She is the daughter of Carol... this isn't good.." He thought.

As the both of them entered the town, Alexis was welcomed by her brother with a suffocating hug. "Where were you!?" He asked, anger clear in his tone.

"Sorry." She said sheepishly.

He sighed and noticed Oramis. "Who are you?" He asked but backed away once he noticed that Oramis was an elf. "I need to tell you something, Jolie..." Ethan said, looking towards her now.

"What is it?" She asked.

"..... I am not your brother and you're not part of the family." He said bluntly.

"W-what?" She asked, not believing her ears.

"How about I start from the beginning?" He asked, forcing a smile.

Alexis nodded and waited for her brother's explanation.

"Mom told me about you when I was 10. Your not part of our family. Instead, you were... sorta given away by your parents but for protection. Even if it meant that one day you would be found. I can't remember your parent's names but I do know that they were really important people. They died after they had given you to Elizabeth." He scratched his head uncomfortably before continuing. "Mom decided to keep it secret. She told me not to tell you. She knew that she and dad would end up dying to protect you... she knew this day would come but she still agreed to take care of you. I myself still don't understand why it is that she would do this, knowing that it would be the cause of their death but apparently your important too." He sighed and looked to the ground.

Alexis stood there with wide eyes, not believing anything that he had to say. "There is no way... are you saying that I am the cause of mom and dad's death!?" She asked, tears starting to prick her eyes.

Ethan nodded and looked at her with a comforting, fake smile.
