Alexis tied the bandanna around her eyes and she walked into the woods relying on only her senses and instincts. This was something that she and Maggie had done many times but never alone. Alexis felt like her entire life was spinning out of control. Maggie died. Elias showed up after a while things got easier between them and she fell in love. It would have been so much easier if she had been just a regular girl. If she had fallen for Nathan Broussard. But she wasn't and she didn't. She felt a little reckless and she wanted a fight.
She walked into a small clearing in the forest. She could feel the magic in the air and she could smell the wesen approaching her. He was noisy. She wondered if he was playing with her.
"Come on! Come and get me!" She was ready in her stance and weapons at the ready. She felt the air grow heavy and shift slightly northwards. She ducked just in time and stabbed backwards. Hearing the wesen howl in pain she turned and dodged to the left and then quickly to the right. Her instincts kicked in and it was like she could see even though she was still blindfolded. A backflip and a stab later the wesen fell to the forest floor. Her nose caught the scent of another. Spriggan? or something else? And another? Was that Elias? What was he doing here? How long had he been here?
"Elias? Go away. I have creatures to kill before they turn me into a bubble headed broodmare!" She had to focus or she was going to get herself killed. She ripped off the bandanna and looked around at her surroundings. For a second she almost laughed, it was too perfect. There were two more enemies. One was a lowen and the other was a hexenbiest.
"Well? What are you waiting for? An invitation?" The lowen attacked and ran at her full speed. She was swift and slid right out of his way and she flipped and dodged and stabbed him repeatedly. Finally she flipped onto his back and stabbed him through the neck and finally through the heart.
When she turned and saw the hexenbiest she realized she caught her eye and the hexenbiest had her in her magical grip for a moment. Alexis grabbed her head as it felt like it was exploding. She screamed but couldn't hear it. She could sense Elias was near. She was fighting the magic by focussing on Elias but she was in so much pain. She dropped to her knees.
