Alexis Davenport was in her large attic converted bedroom at the top of the hotel. She had musical recording instruments and things set up, and she herself was standing at a long microphone. She had wireless headphones pushing back her long black locks, though her right ear was left open so that she could hear herself. She began to sway as the music began toplay and she began to sing.
"I want to hold you to the sun
I want to be your faithful one
I want to show you all the beauty
You don't even know you hold
I'm hurting you for your own good
I'd die for you, you know I would
I'd give up all my wealth
To buy you back the soul you never sold... she bellowed, her voice dark and haunting while the while she imagine her father, who disappeared years ago, leaving her with her grieving mother. A part of her never forgave him for that, she knew how much she loved Simon, and sure he and Simon never got on, he could have been there for them. Even now, her mother was hoping that he would return like it was said Symone returned.
"I want to mix our blood
And put it in the ground
So you can never leave
I want to earn your trust
Your faith, your heart
You'll never be deceived
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar, liar, liar, liar
Liar
Liar!"
She sang some more, keeping her eye on the recording equipment.
"I want to heal you pretty sweet
I'll throw rose petals at your feet
I'll spend eternity
Comparing all my poetry to yours
I want to see love through your eyes
You'll never have to compromise
I'd give up all my fame
To fight your demons and your bloody wars..."
IT was then that she heard her niece Eida call up and Alexis could have kicked her. "Alexis!" Alexis groaned, flung the headphones off before stopping the recording.
"You want a bowl of cereal? Or something?"
Alexis stomped down the stairs, her big boots thumping as she did so. Luckly her mother wasn't home, otherwise she would have be on her about that.
She walked into the kitchen with her hands on her hips. "Does it look like I want so damn cereal? You know I don't eat anything that didn't previously breath, besides, I was recording." She said in a huff, but that didn't stop her from going into the cupboard and looking for some of the beef jerky she had bought a few days ago. Alexis was an odd one, while she was both Fae and Wraith, she didn't act like either, Wraith's didn't need to eat, Fae or Dryads in her case, mostly ate fruits and veggies.
Alexis needed meat, the rarer the better most of the time and she needed food nearly all the time, she was never not hungry. Her uncle Tommy would tease her sometimes, telling her he'd rather cloth her then feed her. She couldn't be mad at that. Her mother spent a small fortune on food.
She found herself a glass for some juice, when a cold shiver when up her spine.
The glass slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor.
"Daddy..."
In a plum of black and purple smoke, Alexis was gone without another word.
She felt him, she knew she did. She was odd that way, well she was odd in many ways, but she could always feel her father. She felt him leave, and she felt him return.
She teleported herself to the place his presence was most powerful and she found herself in an apartment.
"The Fuck...?" she gasped as she looked around. He'd been there and had been for awhile, but he was gone now.
Getting anger, she waved a hand and a black and purple portal opened. The NetherRealm connected everything, life and death, and all of it's energies were connected and collected here. She could find him here.
She'd tried it once before, but he'd been too far away, in another dimension. Interdimensional travel through the nether was dangerous, because Alexis was like a magnet, Nether energies would grab a hold of her, try to corrupt her if she were careful, which is why she couldn't go searching for her dead brother, she could find him too if she was willing to risk it.
Since her father was on the same plan as she was, she wouldn't be in the Nether for too long. In fact, she only needed to basically peek her into it, looking around, and pinpoint his location, she could open a portal to where he was, and the tunnel between the two wouldn't be very long so that's exactly what she did.
She stepped through the portal where she found his energy and found herself in
"English Lit?" She mused aloud as she looked around, and there he was. He looked different but she knew it was him.
"Dad?" she swallowed before she noticed there was already someone in the classroom. She rolled her eyes closed. She just broke the biggest rule ever. Not that she was a stranger to that but still, she never revealed her powers to a normie before...though...this girl didn't seem all that normal to her.
"Fucking Hell...."
