It has been a week since Alexis had officially moved in with Oramis. They would spend anywhere between 5-7 hours training. Alexis has grown better but still isn't completely good with balance. Oramis would normally take that as an advantage and trip her up at the end of the ever sparring match.

As Alexis walks outside to get ready for the morning's practice she notices that Oramis is already outside holding out a bag for her. She takes it and asks, "Whats this?"

"You're going to go on a small mission for me. I need you to go to Osaka and get me some wolf and a special book." He hands her a paper with an address on it. "Go here and say that Oramis sent you. The guy that's at that house will understand and get the items I have requested. Try not to stay too long okay?"

Alexis nods. "When will I leave?"

"Now."

"Why now?"

"The sooner the better." He answered before shooing her off like a dog. She frowns in response to the way he is acting but starts walking away.

'Whats his problem?' She thought as she walked further away from the house.

~ 3 hours later~

"Whyyyyyy?" Alexis cried out to no one. 'My legs are so sore and why did he make me walk?' She asked herself. She sat on a nearby rock and leaned back, relaxing in the warm breeze. 'It feels so good out here today..' She heard the sound of a twig snapping behind and quickly stood up. "Who is there?" She asked. The bushes started rustling and she pulled out her wooden sword that Oramis had made her bring. She held it out in front of her defensively, preparing to attack. After a few seconds, a small rabbit hopped out of the bush and Alexis let out a sigh. 'It's just a rabbit...'

She smiled to herself but was surprised as a hand covered her mouth and another wrapped around her waist. She struggled to get out of the hold of the stranger but the person tightened their grip on her, pulling her farther into the forest. She elbowed the person in the stomach and stomped on their foot causing them to let go and move back in pain. She quickly stepped away and got into fighting stance. The stranger smiled and moved closer to her.

"I am sorry miss. I had no idea you were that strong. May I ask your name?" He asked while his smile widened.

Alexis shifted side to side uncomfortably. "Why should I tell you? If I am not mistaken you just tried to kidnap me and do who knows what."

"I said I was sorry and besides, I know where you're going." His smile turned into a smirk.

"How do you know?" She flinched at his statement.

"You were sent by Oramis, am I correct?" He asked.

Alexis stayed quiet.

"So it's true." He chuckled. "My name is Connor, it's nice to meet you, Alexis."

" I never told you my name and that still isn't my name. My name is Jolie." She said, glaring at him. 'Why does everyone call me Alexis?'

"No need to lie about your name my dear. I know who you are. Anyways, let's go to my house. I should get you the things that Oramis wants." He grabbed her hand and started walking in an opposite direction of where she was going. "Before you ask me where we are going, this is a shortcut. I don't have any plans to do anything bad to you, promise."

She nodded and followed him, still a little wary of the stranger.
