THEY WERE destined to be before they were even born. It was written in the stars. But Alex would be damned if she was going to feed into yet another prophecy after all the shit the first one brought into her life.

IN WHICH Alexandra Black is don...
Alexandra Black was tired of all the lies and death. Every turn she took reminded her of what she lost. She needed a change of scenery.
So she left. She packed up, told her brother in everything but blood to owl every once in a while (because she knew the second she left he would do some dumb shit), and shipped herself off to America, where her family's old ancestral home stood.
No one had lived there for years, but it was far enough out that no one had bothered the home during that long period. It was perfect.
Of course, that was before creatures of the night came into the picture.
Vampires. Werewolves. Witches. Even doppelgangers. It was a whole bloody infestation.
The one place that had brought her comfort after all the years of pain and suffering just had to be overrun with judgey witches too big for their britches and annoying vampires and doppelgangers who couldn't mind their own business to save a life. The werewolves weren't as bad, but the howling was definitely something Alexa could go without hearing every full moon.
It made her remember too much.
But, of course, if that wasn't enough, she was dragged into their nefarious little schemes. The one time she actually left the house to socialize (because Carol could not get the hint and just stop knocking on her door every time she planned social events), and it ended with a chloroform napkin to her face.
This is what she gets for talking to people.
And if that wasn't the worst part, the people responsible for this abduction are also vampires and want to trade both her and the doppelganger for freedom.
The doppelganger trade was one thing. But to drag her into it as well? Alexandra was tired of this shit.
She could have gotten out of it, but she needed a nap and answers as to why they needed her as well. So, she would keep her wand tucked in her dress sleeve and wait for this mystery person to get here before she did anything else. At least if shit hit the fan, she could just wave her wand and get the hell out of dodge, right?
Right?
