Alexandra sat by the lake in the middle of Eli's promised land. She had returned, shocking both Eli and Mystica. She had returned to the home she knew as a child. As she sat there, her mind wandered back to the day when her eyes were open, she could still feel as the nail pierced through her hand, how Mystica's arm was around her cradling her to his body. Then it flashed even further back, to when she was here as a child.
-Flashback-
Alexandra ran, as fast as her little feet could carry her. Alexandra tripped over the root of a tree just as lighting struck the tree next to her, sending a branch down on top of her. She cried out for help, but her cries were muffled by the storm. She struggled against the branch, trying to push it off. Even as a child, she was rather brave. A figure moved in the darkness, pushing the log off of her and scooping her up. They moved quickly, Alexandra shivered from her drenched clothing, tears streaking down her face. After that it went dark. She woke up a while later in dry clothes, laying in a warm four post bed. Across the room the figure of a woman moved.
"Where am I?" She spoke softly.
"You're safe little one." The soft voice spoke to her.
The man from the night before walked across the room, looking at her. He sat down on the edge of the bed and offered his large hand to her.
"There There.."
She looked at him, before putting her tiny hand in his.
"Who are you?" The girl asked.
"I'm Eli, Eli James."
It was then when time flashed forward a few days. Eli was placing the teardrop necklace around her neck. When Alexandra looked up at him, with a smile crossing her face.
"Father..."
-Present Day-
Alexandra opened her eyes, looking out over the lake. She smiled and chuckled to herself. A sound of leaves rustled behind her and she turned to look, but saw no one, turning back to the lake she began to trace a heart on the page of the large leatherbound book on her lap. She began to write a name under it, a letter D with curved ends and curly designs. The sound rustled again, but she continued, wondering who it might be.
