Fall was almost over in Ontario and a hint of winter was already in the air. Humans wore more layers of clothes, and so did Alex. It didn't matter that vampires had been exposed and risking exposure by being overexposed was no longer as important. It was sweater season, it was fall colours, it was hats and gloves and scarves and it was Alex's favourite time to shop of the year.
And another Halloween had come and gone. Which meant another year as a vampire. At times since her turning, the time had seemed to fly by but when she paused long enough to long back and reflect on her time in Harper Rock it seemed like a whole lifetime and not just a few years.
Briefly, she felt a stab of sadness, longing for some faces that had been missing far too long. Some of them Alexandrea just somehow knew she would again never see. Others, like Madison or Odin, Alex still believed she would. (See again.) The Allurist, thinking over how many things had changed, started to grin. There would be a lot of explaining to do, she thought to herself with a chuckle as she handed the cashier in Moonlight Fashions her credit card.
The human girl raised an eyebrow at Alexandrea's sudden brevity but said nothing. The blonde had a phone up in front of her face, as was typical of young people these days, and seemed resentful of the fact she had to put her device down in order to take a customer's payment. Alex was oblivious, however. She was too busy reading crownet in her own head to notice.
The Administrator had posted again. And he seemed to be trying to play puppetmaster again. This time, it was the Sirens he claimed were the enemy. And despite Alexandrea's reluctance to trust the Sirens, or anything remotely Fae? She had no love for this so-called "Administrator", either. He had proven to be a manipulator before, and she hoped that the majority of her kind wouldn't let themselves once again get dragged into someone else's fight. Many of them were still suffering the after-effects of the battle over the supposed cure created by the government. Another classic case of everyone working together for the greater good. Not.
She sent in a quick reply just for the hell of it, not really expecting anything to come of it.
A quick email was sent to her favourite Mystic Zodiac as Alex starting searching her files. Alexandrea had never realized before just how little information she had about the Sirens...

Both women were distracted as they exchange pleasantries and concluded their business, Alexandrea left the shop with several shopping bags and hurried into her office on the second floor where the bags were dumped onto her desk and a couple of chairs.Alexandrea wrote:You ask us as if you actually plan to read any replies. Which I have reason to doubt that you will, seeing how much you have ignored our replies to you in the past.
Here's an idea. Be upfront with us about who you are and what you really want and maybe we'll start to believe and care give a damn about what you say.
