Eight o'clock. She had been staring at the clock in the apartment she shared with Carolina, waiting on the appointed time to go to the docks to see whatever it was Tetradore had in store for them. She hadn't seen her room mate in a few hours so she could only guess Carolina was already on her way there. Alexis kept telling herself she needed to go, too, but she was nervous for some reason. Maybe it was because she kept picturing the last time she and Tetradore spoke. How he asked her to get to know the other pack members and bond with them. She already felt like she was letting him down. What had she done to actually get to know Henry or Harley? What had she even done to get to know her own room mate? For how cozy it was, the apartment could have been a castle for how little time Alexis felt she actually spent with Carolina. They always seemed to be gone at the same time. She was either at the cafe or in the woods or even at Raven and Tobias' house, but they never seemed to be at the apartment at the same time. They might as well still be strangers for all the time they spent together since that fateful night when the Ark sunk into the harbor. Finally, the WereFox gathered up herself enough to start heading to the docks. When she walked down toward the water and saw the familiar SUV parked nearby, a smile tugged at her lips. Raven and company had beat her here. She couldn't wait to see Rhett again. No matter how much time she spent with the handsome three month old, he always seemed to have grown from the last time she'd seen him. As she walked onto the large ship and looked around, she took in the familiar pack scents, knowing that she was probably among the last ones here to see this place. She could already hear Rhett babbling away and she smiled at the happy sounds as she took a breath and started toward the main room. She came across Henry first, leaning against the wall and watching everyone else like a stranger. Scowling to herself and remembering what Tetradore had asked of her, the woman steeled herself before walking toward him. "A little overwhelming, isn't it?" |
