Alexis stood there in the water staring after Elias. She felt confused and a little hurt and she wondered if he was ever going to be able to love her. Walking out of the water she walked back home slowly. The sun dried her off before she got back home. There was a sadness about her that was obvious to the staff and her family.

Once back in the house her father's voice called to her and she was given a talking to about hitting her suitors by Elinora who appeared to be at her wit's end. [color=f6989d]"Can I go to my room now?" [/color]She asked finally and having run out of energy to yell at her Elinora nodded. As she left the room she heard Elinora speaking to Marcus. 

[color=f7941d]"Maybe it's time? She needs to settle down and get married and that means no more fighting."[/color] 

Gritting her teeth Alexis ran to her room and changed. It was dark outside now. In all black the only thing visible was her face. The hood even cloaked her completely from the back. Armed with all of her weapons she rode Merle into the forest. She was going hunting and right now things were too weird with Elias. 

It wasn't long before she found something. It was a wesen. She could smell it in the air. There was something else too but she couldn't tell what it was. She sat down in the middle of a clearing and closed her eyes and waited.

She heard the wesen as it tried to sneak up on her, she smiled and waited another second when she could hear it's breathing getting close enough she reared up with her blade and slashed at it knocking it backwards and onto it's back. It blocked with it's arm and howled at the sword's blow. Alexis kicked it in the stomach and flipped backwards as it lunged into her kick. They went round and round for at least a good ten minutes before she slammed her blade of silver into his heart. His scream was loud and it felt satisfying to her. She was elated. The kill was the first since her injury and she barely noticed her side's soreness at all.

As she walked through the woods she half expected to run into another one. Her disappointment grew as she fell into thought about Elias and his old partner. He spoke about him as if they were lovers almost. She understood the extreme closeness she had had that with Maggie too but they were gone and it was a different type of love that she had for Elias. She sighed. She had to give him time.

It was dark in most of the house and about midnight when she got home. She refused to let Elinora marry her off so she made a plan. The thought made her chuckle. If she wanted to marry her off it was going to be harder than she expected. Alexis would make sure of that.
