Clear Minds, Endless Dreams and Burning Souls

So many thoughts running through her mind, all messed up and confusing to her. Alexis was scared, she admitted it, she was scared of what had happened in the past she couldn't seem to remember. She knew that she was a half-vampire and that her mother had left her behind. All things her father had told her about her childhood. But he couldn't tell her anything about her life in Hogwarts before her fifth year, when she was apparently turned into a werewolf. Her head was hurting bad, with memories that were buried deep inside her mind. They were desperate to be released into her mind and they couldn't. Something inside her didn't want them to be present in her thoughts and it was binding them to her inner consciousness.

A trip to Hogsmeade seemed like the best thing for her right now. After her encounter with Aaron and finding out that he was an old friend she couldn't remember, Alexis was so lost. Everything in her mind and her surroundings were spinning, she couldn't remember anything. It was exasperating and she wanted to know more about her life before she was turned. But it seemed no one had any answers as to what happened before then, Aaron might have been able to tell her something, if she hadn't run away from him once he told her about herself. He knew more about her than she did, and that had frightened her.

She couldn't handle the truth and she wanted to know it. It was like an addiction, even though she didn't know what it was. She knew only a little about her childhood, and now she wanted to know more, but she was afraid that she would hear something she wouldn't like. But it was a risk she had to take in order to be freed of this pain and confusion inside her. Her life has always been messed up from what her father told her about her mother leaving her and Alexis wanted that life to be only a dream. But it would turn into an endless dream she could never forget for as long as she lived.

No one in her family really accepted her now that she was a werewolf. No one except her twin sister, and younger brother. She wasn't even sure if her father really accepted her for what she was. Damitrius had made it very clear that she hated her, and that had hurt Alexis a lot, more than she had led her little sister to believe. Mitri hated her now, the same little sister that used to look up to her, the one that sang with her and was always looking for her for advise. Alexis was keeping her distance from her sister for now, giving her space until she was ready to accept her for what she now was. But that had started three years ago when Mitri was twelve years old, and she still hadn't forgiven Alexis, even though it was something she couldn't have prevented.

Alexis missed her sister. She missed her a lot.

Marcus had heard the ice rink had opened up for Christmas. Ah Christmas. Just the thought of it made him feel at home. "Well. Off to the ice rink!" he whispered to himself in his apartment bedroom. Marcus disapparated and arrived in Hogsmeade. Immediately, he spotted the ice rink. With a wave of his wand, he summoned his heavy jacket that he had forgotten. Accio Jacket! he thought using the non-verbal spell. He caught it as it flew in midair towards him. Marcus walked over the the rink. As he started skating, he spotted a girl around his age that he recognized a little. He rushed over to her.

"Alexis?" he said, hoping that was her name.

(((Sorry for the short post)))

[OOC: It's alright.]

Forgetting about her sister wasn't as easy as Alexis had hoped it would be. Everything she did and every little girl she saw reminded her of times with her sister. Alexis had to find a way to show Damitrius that she was the same person she was three years ago. That becoming a werewolf did not change who she was on the inside. The bright lights of the rink retrieved Alexis from her thoughts and she smiled slightly at the crowd of people already there. Seems everyone wanted to have some fun right now. Alexis walked up to the attendant, a younger boy by the looks of it, and she he looked up at her quickly. He said a size and Alexis nodded, a blank expression on her face. She was thinking about her sister still. Everything she did just brought her sister back up into her thoughts.

She took off her heavy winter coat, and kept only a thin jacket on. Handing the coat to the younger boy Alexis walked off to the rink and just before she reached it, she put the boots on her feet. A quick tap on the ground ensured her that the boots were on securely, and soon after Alexis was on the ice, moving slowly at first. She quickly remembered something from when she was younger, from her missing memory. It was fuzzy but she saw herself and her sister. They were both skating somewhere and they were smiling and giggling.

Her thoughts were cut off by a sudden call of her name. She turned around quickly and stared at the guy who had called her name. She immediately became on the defensive. "Who are you? How do you know my name?" she demanded softly. She had no idea who this person was, but he seemed to know her, and she wanted to know why.

Marcus was now very, very confused. Alexis didn't remember him? "Uh Alexis it's me. Marcus. You don't remember me?" Marcus decide to mention on something that he had known about Alexis while they were kids. "If I didn't know you," he changed to a whisper, "Then how would I have known you were a vampire?" he asked her, mater-of-factly. [/i]Maybe that will refresh her memory[/i], he thought with a devious smirk across his face. "Remember.... We were friends as kids.... " he said, still trying to get her head functioning properly. He took his wand out of his pocket and pulled a memory of his childhood from his head with it. Marcus carefully placed it into a vial and stuffed it back into his pocket. "Later we can see it in my pensieve," he said lowly. He took Alexis' arm. "Let's skate!" he said to her.

Marc us was still trying to get the thought across to him that Alexis did't remember him. Wow.. She really doesn't remember me! And me of all people! She could've forgotten about anyone else but why me? he thought, still confused. but then he noticed that he was making weird facial expressions without talking and people started to stare. He smirked slightly, not really caring what people thought of him. Marcus never really cared what people thought of him. It was a genuine trait of his. The best. If you didn't like Marcus he didn't care. He's gonna stick around until you're almost forced to like him. That's where he got the nickname Mad. Partly from his initials and the part of him that was insanely mad.

"You okay, Alexis?" he asked her after a while of skating.

Alexis took a step back from Marcus and shook her head. "I don't know anyone by the name of Marcus!" she said, her eyes showing clear fear. At the mention of her being a vampire, Alexis' eyes widened and it seemed like something inside her just died. "I... I am not a vampire." she stated, coming back to her normal self. Her voice suddenly dropped to a whisper. "I am a -." she cut herself off, her eyes narrowing. "I don't know who you are." she said. "Leave me alone." her voice was shaking. Alexis was scared that this guy knew that she was a vampire before. But anyone could've known that, just by knowing someone else in her family. He couldn't know her... Could he?

A tug on her arm, and Alexis was on the rink now, with this strange guy who said he knew her. Alexis was on the defensive still, and she really wasn't enjoying herself right now. Just who was this guy? How did he really know her, could they have actually been childhood friends? As they skated, Alexis very slowly, she watched Marcus. Taking a good look at him, Alexis gasped. One of her forgotten memories came back, it played in her head but it was fuzzy and all she saw was herself and another person, who she couldn't quite make out, in Hogwarts. They were running through one of the corridors, running from someone, who again she couldn't make out.

Marcus asked her if she was okay, and Alexis looked at him with her widened eyes again. She let out a small whimper, barely audible, and she ran off the rink, and onto the bench just outside it. What had she just seen? What was that?!

Marcus was very confused when she went running from the rink. :Alexis!" he screamed and started to run after her. When he'd finally caught up with her, he was out of breath because of the furry coat he was wearing. "Alexis what's wrong?" Marcus asked. "You looked like you've seen a ghost. Well that's common...... But you get what I mean!" He started to look around for anything suspicious.

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Was he the problem. Was Alexis having some kind of flashback? Obviously something's changed in her since he last saw her. It's like she doesn't even know him.... "What did you see?" Marcus asked quietly.

Why did everyone know more about her than she did? She barely remembered who she was and all the people around her seemed to have information in who she was. The way she had ran off the rinkbwas actually very unusual even for her, and she hadn't even broken a sweat after running such a distance. Probably from the fact that she was a dog now, a werewolf. But the girl was so confused as to what she had seen. Now that she wanted to know what it was she coulsnt male the memory play again and she couldn't find anyrhing else out.

That boy had followed her and she had barely noticed him at first. But when he started to talk, she flinched at the sudden realization that he was there and she moved away from him. She looked up at him with narrowed eyes now. "What part of leave me alone didn't you understand?" she asked him harshly. "I want you to just leave me alone, I don't know who you are!" Alexis screamed at him, tears coming to her eyes.

The puppy inside her wanted him to get away, to stop making memories of her vampire past appear. The girl wanted him to stay though, she wanted to know how he knew her and anyrhing else he knew about her. But the werewolf was stronger and everything the puppy wanted to say was said.
