Alexis started packing away her belongings, wiping away tears that streamed down her face. After being told that she wasn't part of the family she grew up with, cared for, and loved had taken quite a toll on her emotional state. She has been lied to for a little over 15 years...
A knock sounded on her bedroom door. "Jolie?" Ethan walked in.
Alexis sniffed and looked down. "What do you want?"
"Are you okay? I mean, I know you're not 'okay' but... *sigh* Listen, I am sorry I didn't tell you soo-" Alexis cut him off.
"You think it's my fault they died.. don't you?" She looked up at him. "I am the one who is sorry. I stole your family away from you and I am the cause of their death. I would like to thank you for treating me as your sister though..." She finished packing and stood up. "I should go now. Goodbye Ethan."
"Where are you going?" He asked, blocking the exit so she can't leave.
"I am going to stay with Oramis. He is going to teach me how to become a good sword fighter so I can kill ou-... your parents."
He hesitantly moved out of the way so she can leave. "Please be careful..."
She nodded but was stopped by Ethan grabbing her wrist. She turned around and looked at him. "It's gonna be hard for him to teach you since you're such a crappy fighter though. Don't give him too hard of a time." He said, smiling.
"I won't." Alexis giggled before leaving.
~Back in the forest, walking to Oramis' house~
Just wait, I am going to catch the killer and make Ethan happy. She thought. As Alexis walked into Oramis' house, she was greeted by the scent of sweet honey.
"Are you making something Oramis?" She asked, walking into the kitchen.
He turned to her and smiled. "Just some tea, want some?"
She shook her head and walked to her room to put her things away. A smile spread across her face as she thought of catching the killer. She held onto her locket and felt a little better about the situation. Maybe she can do this...
