Alice had never been in Alexis’s apartment before, in fact she’d never realised that Alexis even lived at their base of operation until tonight. But then up until a couple of days ago, she had no idea that Alexis was even still alive and protecting her from danger when they went out on missions.

     “I see Alex hasn’t completely gone then?” Alice said with a grin when she saw the plasma screen TV that covered one wall of the apartment and had every game system you could think of hooked up to it. Alice saw that another wall was full of games for all the games systems as well.

     “I need something to help pass the time between missions, and it’s not like I could go out and make friends is it?” Alexis asked as she went and stood by her sister as she looked at their reflexions in the plasma screen TV that was now acting like a large mirror.

     “I hadn’t thought of that sis.” Alice said looking a little sad that she’d never given much thought to what sort of a life Alexis had had to put up with to keep her secret. “Wish you’d told me sooner, we could have done so much stuff together.” Alice said with pain in her voice.

     “It’s never too late to start sis.” Alexis grinned as she hugged Alice again. She just couldn’t seem to get enough hugs from her sister now the cat was out of the bag.

    Sarah was soon running over to join the hug when she saw Alice and Alexis hold out an arm each for her to join in. Alexis felt like a great weight had been lifted off her shoulders now she had Alice and Sarah back in her life. Even though she’d been watching over Alice for the past seven years, this was a much better way to look after her.

     “Do you think you’ll be able to live here Sarah, or do you want me to help you find your own place?” Alexis asked as she watched Sarah walking around the place, once they stopped hugging each other.

    Sarah loved the place, and she’d also noticed that there was only the one bedroom with a really large bed in it. Sarah was hoping that Alexis was going to let her share it with her if she stayed here. “I love the place Alexis, but you only have the one bed.” Sarah pouted.

     “Damn, that means we’ll have to share.” Alexis said in mock annoyance as she slammed her fist into the palm of her other hand.

     “I get all the tough jobs to do.” Sarah said as she walked over to where Alexis was stood and wrapped her arms around her and then grabbed Alexis’s butt cheeks and gave them a squeeze through the leather type material of the cat suit she was still wearing.

     “Are you really sure you want me to stop and spend time with the two of you?” Alice asked, as she watched the two of them stood with their arms wrapped around each other. Alice was beginning to feel like she was just getting in the way.

     “Yes we want you to stay sis. I’ve got plenty of time to catch up with Sarah in that way.” Alexis had never taken her eyes off Sarah as she said it, and Alexis was happy when she saw the look Sarah gave her back as she spoke.

    Sarah’s eyes lit up on hearing them words come from Alexis’s mouth. Sarah had been waiting just over seven years to find the one person that could make her feel whole again, and now she had. It just so happened to be the same person that had left said hole to be filled in the first place, but Sarah wasn’t about to start splitting hairs over little details like that.

    Alexis and Sarah broke the hug and tried to act more normal around Alice. Neither one of them wanted to see her leave when she’d only just found out she still had a sister.

     “Do the two of you want something to eat?” Alexis asked as she walked towards the kitchen area over in one corner of the apartment.

     “Don’t tell me you can cook as well?” Sarah asked, looking shocked.

     “Yep, I can do a lot of things. It’s all part of my cover when going on a mission.” Alexis said as she started looking in the fridge and working out what she could do for them all. “I can’t do anything to fancy though!” Alexis shouted with her head still stuck in the fridge.

     “So you’re not a super chef then, like you are everything else?” Alice asked as she walked over and sat at the breakfast bar so she could watch her sister work. Sarah walked over and sat down next to her, so she could also watch Alexis put them a meal together.

     “I didn’t mean that I can’t cook fancy meals, I just meant I don’t have much in.” Alexis said as she turned to look at the two girls’ as she pointed back into the fridge. “I wasn’t expecting company you see.” She added with a grin.

     “I’m sure whatever you cook will be nice sis.” Alice smiled, just happy to be able to watch her sister play around in the kitchen again.

    Alice had lost all interest in cooking after her parents dragged her way from home and Alex. She just couldn’t do anything in the kitchen without it reminding her of the time’s she’d spent preparing meals with her brother, ready for when their parents got home from work. The times she loved the best were the ones when Alexis came to visit for the day on a Saturday when their parents were going to be at work all day. Alice was snapped out of her trip down memory lane when she heard Alexis talking to her.

     “Do you want to help me cook us something sis?” Alexis asked with a smile.

     “I’ve not cooked anything more that a tin of beans, or warmed up a TV dinner in years Alexis.” Alice said with a sigh.

     “I know that, I have been watching you remember.” Alexis said with a grin. “I’m sure you still have it in you. It’s not like you can forget it.” Alexis added with a giggle.

     “Does that mean you have a photographic memory Alice?” Sarah asked, thinking that was what Alexis was getting at, and why she’d been chosen for this job she now did and needed a protector.

     “Alice is a little more special than that Sarah.” Alexis said with a raised eyebrow. “If a person with a photographic memory was a powerful home computer, then Alice would be the NASA mainframe, or the Microsoft mainframe.” Alexis added, as she tried to help Sarah understand the difference between the two.

     “So you’re trying to say that Alice is a really good person at remembering everything she sees?” Sarah asked.

     “No, she can do so much more. Alice understands everything she reads and can also solve very complicated problems in seconds.” Alexis said it with some pride as she smiled at her sister.

     “So you’re super smart Alice?” Sarah asked looking amazed at the fact.

     “You could put it like that, but I just work with what others have already started. I lack the focus to come up with new ideas on my own.” Alice sighed as she sat playing with a salt pot Alexis had on the counter top where they were sat.

     “So do you feel like helping me cook a meal for us all?” Alexis asked, seeing that Alice really didn’t want to talk about her abilities.

     “I’d like to just sit and watch you work, if you don’t mind?” Alice smiled, happy to do just that.

     “I’m nothing more than a pretty maid to you am I?” Alexis asked with an overdramatic sigh.

     “Do you have a maids outfit?” Sarah asked grinning.

     “Yes I do, but that’s a whole other story, that I’m not getting into right now.” Alexis said with a worried look on her face, as she pointed a knife in Sarah’s direction to get her point across. Alexis did start grinning again though, when she saw the worried look on Sarah’s face.

     “So do you have a super brain as well then Alexis?” Sarah asked, wanting to change the subject away from whatever reason Alexis didn’t want to tell her about being a maid at some point in her past. Sarah thought it must be a good story if she’s getting that protective of it.

     “I did test pretty high, but nothing like Alice did. I’m better at physical problem solving, as you’ve already seen.” Alexis said grinning even wider as she thought about how good it felt to beat up that street gang.

    Alexis was sorting out some dried mushrooms as she spoke to Alice and Sarah. Both girls wondered what she was going to make, but neither wanted to risk being forced to help, so they just watched and asked the odd question when the silence got a little too much.

     “If the two of you have been working side by side for the past three years, and you’re super smart.” Sarah asked looking at Alice now. “Then how come you never worked out who she was?”

     “It wasn’t through lack of trying believe me.” Alice said looking frustrated.

    Alice had spent the first year of working with her Guardian trying to find out who was under the mask, but she never did. Bob and Alexis had other woman dress up in her uniform and then leave the command centre to let Alice follow them. She even tried getting Bill and Ted to help her, but they just offered to help and then had her on a wild goose chase for the next six months until she finally gave up and just excepted she’d never find out what the woman looked like under the mask.

     “You did get close a couple of times sis. A little to close.” Alexis added the last part with a worried look on her face.

    Alice smiled, knowing that she’d come close to finding out her sisters secret, but she was still mad with herself for not sticking at it now. The more Alice thought about everything that had happened to her over the past seven years, the more all the pieces started to fit together. Alice had thought people mad for saying they had done things with her, when she knew she hadn’t. Now it all made sense to her. Alexis was doing things while she was off doing other stuff.

     “How long have you been watching out for me sis?” Alice asked.

     “Nearly six years now.” Alexis said without needing to think about it. “It took a year for me to recover from the stabbing and for them to change me into your copy. Then I was helping to keep you save and out of trouble while you went through college.”

     “Did you ever pretend to be me while I was at college?” Alice asked, but all ready having a pretty good idea she knew the answer.

     “Yes I did, on more than one occasion.” Alexis giggled, as she thought about the fun she had using some of her new fighting skills on some of the students that wanted to cause trouble for the brainy little girl that seemed to know everything.

     “It all makes perfect sense now!” Alice shouted, as she realised she hadn’t been going mad back in college. “Do you have any idea what it was like to think you were being possessed by the spirit of your dead brother, or just being followed by him?” Alice asked.

     “Can’t say I have sis. I don’t have a dead brother to be haunted by.” Alexis pointed out.

     “I kept getting the feeling that someone was looking out for me, just like you use to do while we were at school. Then I would stop being bothered by the other students that before wouldn’t leave me alone.” Alice said as she put the pieces together while speaking it out loud. “I should of seen it all sooner, you were still there looking after me.” Alice smiled now, not angry, just happy that she had been safe and looked after all that time.

     “It was really good fun putting that Stephanie Wall and her little band of followers in their place when they tried to beat you up after you’d been working out in the gym on campus.” Alexis grinned.

     “They never tried to beat me up. They did try to make my life more difficult for a couple of weeks, but then they all stopped and acted really nice after that when I saw them.” Alice suddenly got a look of horror on her face at the same time Alexis started grinning even more.

     “Nope you weren’t there, but you were there at the same time.” Alexis giggled. “We found out that they were planning to jump you after you’d finished at the gym, so we got your room mate to take you to that private gym she’d won a membership to, for her and a friend.” Alexis added.

     “How did you know they wouldn’t tell the whole college about it?” Alice asked.

     “Do you think for one second that five girls would go telling the whole college that they got beaten up by one little girl?” Alexis giggled some more.

    Alice had to giggle when she thought about the look Stephanie must have had when she, or Alexis pretending to be her, beat them all up, and then went on with her college life like it never happened.

    Stephanie had reminded Alice of Tiffany back in high school, so Alice had got no time for her, or anyone like her. Trouble was, Stephanie had lots of time for Alice because she wanted Alice to help her ace all her classes. Word had already gone around the college that Alice was the smartest kid the college had ever seen. Alice had started off being polite when Stephanie tried to make her part of her group, but it had soon become bitter when Alice turned her down without giving a reason for it. Alice got the impression Stephanie wasn’t used to being turned down for anything. Then just as Alice thought things were going to get messy for her, Stephanie just stopped bothering her, and seemed to act nice when ever Alice saw her around college.

     “What happened that night then? Outside the gym?” Alice asked, looking excited to hear about Stephanie getting what was coming to her.

    Alexis giggled as she thought about the best way to explain what happened, and then she just decided to start from the beginning. Alexis had watched Alice and her roommate leave campus before leaving the room next to theirs in the dorm and making her way down to the gym. Alexis, now pretending to be Alice had done a full workout to loosen up her muscles, ready for a good fight. Alexis had wanted some payback for what Tiffany had done to her sister, and her own life. Not that Alexis was really that bothered how her life had turned out in the end. Alexis had left the gym and had just walked around the corner on her way back to the dorm when she was jumped from behind by two girls. The two girls held her arms while they watched Stephanie walk out from behind another bush with another girl at either side of her.

     “I tried to be nice, and let you become part of my select group of friends Alice, but you just had to try and work against the system.” Stephanie had said in a mocking tone as she gripped Alice’s cheeks in one of her hands. “Now you will be forced to help us all get top marks, and still be an outcast as you do it.” Stephanie added with an evil grin.

     “How about you all walk away now and do your own work, and I don’t leave you lying on the floor moaning in pain.” Alexis had mumbled through her lips that were still being held by Stephanie.

    Stephanie just laughed as she shook Alexis’s head with one hand as she patted her on the top of her head with the other. “And here was I thinking you were the smart one.” She mocked.

     “You have me mixed up with someone else!” Alexis had shouted, but before Stephanie could say or do anything else, Alexis had lifted both feet off the ground and used the fact that the two girls were still holding her arms to kick Stephanie in the stomach with her feet.

    The force of Alexis kicking into Stephanie’s body pushed her and the other two girls backwards, throwing them off balance as the three of them fell back onto the ground. Alexis flipped over backwards and landed in a crouch, but as Alexis landed, she put a hand on each of the girl’s chests and pushed down hard, knocking the wind out of them and taking them out of the fight for the time being.

    The other two girls that had been stood with Stephanie didn’t know whether to help Stephanie, Attack Alice/Alexis, or just run away. Alexis thought they would just run, but was hoping for a bit more of a fight. Alexis got her wish as the two girls looked at each other before running at Alexis. The first girl threw a punch towards Alexis that really did give meaning to the saying, “You hit like a girl.” Alexis just stepped out the way and gave the girl a little push as she went past her. The girl ended up lying on top of one of the other girls she’d just winded.

    Alexis had gauged when the last girl would reach her, so she spun round and dropped to the ground just in time to sweep the girls legs from under her, so she fell over backwards onto the ground, also knocking the wind out of her.

    Stephanie was the only girl still standing, but that was about to change. Alexis leapt up and almost dived straight over Stephanie, but she grabbed Stephanie’s shoulders on the way over and spun her over backwards to land face down on the grass as her face was planted into the soft ground. Stephanie just lay there for a couple of minutes not moving. Her four friends were all sat up, but not willing to stand when they saw the look Alice/Alexis gave them all. They just sat waiting to see what their fearless leader wanted to do. Alexis could tell that they all hoped it would be run away and forget about ever meeting this little freak.

    Alexis had been very careful not to hit any of the girls in the face, she didn’t want any signs the girls had been fighting to show tomorrow. That would not have been good news with trying to keep Alice in the dark about her being alive still, and protecting her sister.

    Stephanie finally woke up and then got herself up into a sitting position as she spat out the mouth full of grass and dirt she’d ended up with when her face ended up in the ground.

     “I’ll make you pay for this you little bitch!” Stephanie said through gritted teeth. Alexis couldn’t tell if it was because of anger, or just the pain she must have been in.

     “That’s Miss Bitch to you Stephanie.” Alexis said as she crouched down to look her in the eyes. “I’ll explain this to you, because I already know you’re really not the smart one here.” Alice/Alexis giggled. “I was kind enough not to do any damage to your face, or the faces of your friends, but I very easily could have. Now I won’t be helping you with your college work, nor will anyone else. And I think it best for everyone involved.” Alice/Alexis looked around at the other girls as she said it. “We keep this to ourselves.” Alexis grabbed Stephanie’s cheeks just like she’d done with Alexis, and she shook her head while she patted her on the head with her other hand. “Do we have an understanding?” Alexis asked with a butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth smile.

     “Yes.” Stephanie mumbled out, due to Alexis still having her cheeks squeezed between her fingers in a vice like grip.

     “I’m sorry Stephanie, I didn’t quite get that.” Alexis said as she released Stephanie’s face and then stood up to look down at all the girls.

     “I said yes, we have an understanding.” Stephanie repeated herself, as she went to get up, but Alexis’s foot shot out and kicked her in the upper chest so hard that she fell backwards onto the grass again. Stephanie let out a gasp due to the kick leaving her gasping for breath again, and her friends all gasped at just how quick Alice could move.

     “Stephanie was right about one thing. I am a bitch, and I will come and find every last one of you if I have any more trouble.” Alice/Alexis warned them. “And your faces will be my main focus next time as well.” She added just before picking up her gym bag and walking away.

     “And the rest of that little story you already know.” Alexis said as she carried on sorting out dinner for them all.

     “Did she really never bother you again after that?” Sarah asked as she looked at Alice, hoping for some more details.

     “No, she never did. I always wondered why she just stopped bothering me or the others, but now I know why.” Alice started giggling.

     “I still don’t understand how you kept Alice in the dark about who you really were for three years though.” Sarah asked with a puzzled look.

     “I’ll show you after dinner.” Alexis said with a grin. Sarah hadn’t seen Alexis in her full uniform with the head mask and the built in goggles, and voice altering device but dinner was nearly ready, so she’d have to wait.

    Alexis was soon serving up Parmesan and mushroom risotto for the three of them. Sarah had never smelt anything as good as this, and Alice loved it because she always ordered it when a restaurant had it on the menu. Alexis had found this out, so she learnt how to cook it, just in case she ever got the chance, like she had right now.

     “This is some of the best risotto I’ve ever tasted sis.” Alice said after swallowing another mouth full.

     “This is the best food I’ve ever tasted.” Sarah added, just before putting in another mouth full.

    Alexis thought it tasted good, but she was happy to see the other two enjoying it so much. She already knew that Bob, Lana, Bill and Ted liked her cooking. Alexis was surprised that Bill and Ted hadn’t knocked on her door to see what she was cooking for dinner; they normally did when they smelt her doing something in the kitchen. Alexis thought they were just giving her some time alone with Alice and Sarah.

    Alice started thinking about another time at Collage when she was having trouble with a weird boy that had taken a shine to her, but then he suddenly lost interest and would run away every time he saw Alice walking towards him.

     “What did I do to stop that weird kid Zach Hagar? Or more to the point, what did you do to him while pretending to be me?” Alice asked with a grin, just before putting another fork full of food in her mouth.

    Alexis had to laugh when she heard the name Zach Hagar. He become obsessed with Alice, and started to follow her everywhere she went on and off campus. “He discovered that you were a little too wild for his taste in women.” Alexis said with a grin.

     “Wild in what way sis?” Alice asked. “I hope I wasn’t kinky.” She added looking worried.

     “Depends what you class as being Kinky.” Alexis said trying to act all innocent. “But he didn’t like the idea of being chained up in the boiler room and caned on his bottom.” Alexis added with a shocked look.

     “You didn’t?” Alice asked with a shocked look. “How did you get him to keep quiet about it, and not spread it all over the collage?” She asked.

     “I got a wonderful set of photos and even a video of him begging me to spank him some more, so it would hurt him a lot more than it would have hurt you sis. You weren’t in any of the photos or video either.” Alexis giggled. “Bob got him moved to a collage in another state and had people keep an eye on him as well, just in case he took an interest in another girl the same way.” Alexis added to put Alice’s mind at ease.

     “Were there any trouble makers I never knew about sis?” Alice asked.

     “Some, but most of them were dealt with before they ever got close to you, or me playing you.” Alexis said as she reached across the table and took hold of her sister’s hand and smiled at her. “Like you said earlier, I always had your back Alice.”

    They finished eating as Alexis told her story and they all had empty plates, so Alexis took that as a sign they both liked her cooking.

     “Thanks for the lovely dinner Alexis.” Sarah smiled at the end as she sat back stuffed. She’d felt full half way through, but it tasted to good to waste any, so she’d forced herself to clear the plate.

     “Yes, thanks sis that was amazing.” Alice added as she also sat back full to bursting.

     “I’m glad you liked it.” Alexis smiled as she got up and started to clear the table, so she could get the dishes washed and put away.

     “What do you think you’re doing?” Sarah asked as she jumped up, suddenly regretting having eaten so much now.

     “I’m going to do the dishes.” Alexis said with a frown, like it was pretty obvious what she was doing.

     “I’ll do that for you Alexis; you just stood and cooked it for us.” Sarah said as she took the dishes off Alexis and made her take a seat again at the table. “I’m not going to let you cook and clean.” Sarah added in a bossy tone as she walked over to the sink and started cleaning up the mess.

     “She has a point sis; we can’t let you wait on us hand and foot, even if you do make a cute maid.” Alice said with a grin, she already knew the story behind the maid uniform, but then she would know. Alice had been the one to wear it first on a mission. Alexis had just gone in to finish off after Alice had the info they needed.

    Alexis sat at the table and watched Alice and Sarah work together on cleaning the kitchen and washing the dishes and putting them away once they were dried. Alexis pointed out where a couple of things went, but Alice guessed where the rest went. When they were close to being finished in the kitchen, Alexis got up and went into a room to the side of the bedroom. Sarah and Alice hadn’t been in this room because it had a keypad locking system to keep people out, and only Alexis had the code for it.

    Alice was just looking to see if Alexis had any wine in the fridge when she jumped up in the air due to her hearing Sarah let out a scream. Alice spun around to see what had made Sarah scream, and she saw Alexis stood their fully kitted out in her Guardian armour, including the full head mask.

     “Alexis, is that really you under all that?” Sarah asked, still with a panicked edge to her voice.

     “It sure is sugar, now can you see why our little super brain there had no idea who I was.” Alexis said, but it had that southern slur she’d used all those years while hiding from Alice.

     “Your voice, you sound just like Dolly Parton when you speak.” Sarah said as she walked over to the scary looking woman dressed all in black from head to toe. Sarah noticed that Alexis was even wearing gloves now as well, and she had a belt around her waist with strange looking weapons hanging off it. “Can you see okay with that mask on?” Sarah asked as she tried to look into the goggles and see Alexis’s eyes, but it was like looking in a mirror.

     “I can see even better with the mask on than I can without it sugar.” Alexis said in the same southern sounding voice.

     “Now can you see why I never worked out who she really was?” Alice giggled as she watched Sarah walking around and around Alexis trying to look for any sign that the person inside was Alice’s sister, but all she saw was a very scary looking woman ready for combat.

    Sarah stood and watched as Alexis first slipped off the head piece and let Sarah take a closer look at it. “Can I try it on?” Sara asked as she looked inside.

    Sure, here let me help you get it seated right, or the voice device won’t work.” Alexis said as she slipped the head piece onto Sarah’s head and then closed the clips that ran down the back of the helmet.

    Sarah could see what Alexis meant now about being able to see better. Sarah turned her head and looked at a dark corner of the apartment and suddenly it became brighter, just like the rest of the room. “The room just got brighter. My voice! It sounds so different!” Sarah said, and it had that same southern slur to it that Alexis had had when she had the helmet on.

     “Those goggles can do a lot of very cool things.” Alexi said as she pushed a couple of buttons on a wrist band she was wearing, and suddenly Sarah was seeing all the heatsources in the room, it was like watching a scene from the sci-fi movie Predator. Then Sarah was zooming in and out, as Alexis started playing with another set of buttons. It made Sarah feel dizzy and she nearly fell over because of it.

     “I’d like to take it off again now.” Sarah said feeling a little claustrophobic with it on now.” Sarah was already trying to remove it, but she didn’t know how to undo the clips, so she was starting to panic.

     “Calm down Sarah and I’ll have it off you in just a second.” Alexis said as she undid the clips and then slid it off her head. “I’m sorry for scaring you.” Alexis added as she pulled Sarah into a hug with her.

     “How can you wear that thing all the time?” Sarah said as she shook in Alexis’s arms.

     “You just get used to it I guess. I don’t even notice it anymore while I’m wearing it.” Alexis said as she tried to think back to how it felt when she first started to wear it when Alice was in the command centre. “I think wanting to be near to Alice again, gave me a reason to get over the claustrophobic feelings pretty quick.” She added.

    Sarah finally calmed down and then Alice sent Alexis off to get changed into something a little more relaxing than the cat suit and all the body armour she had put on to show Sarah what she dressed like when on a mission. All three of them took it in turns to take a shower before dressing in large T-shirts and panties, then they all settled down with a glass of wine and spent the rest of the night talking about things they’d done since last seeing each other. Alexis only had the one glass and then went onto water. Alice and Sarah were happy to finish the bottle between them.

    Alice and Alexis told Sarah some of the things they had done since leaving the old home town. Sarah filled them in on what had happened since they left, and the nasty things that people said about Alex and why he did what he did. Sarah wasn’t surprised to find out that Alexis had something to do with Tiffany and Matt going to prison, but she was shocked that Bob had sorted out the jobs for Damon and Paul though.

     “If they’d just done their own homework in the first place none of it would have happened.” Sarah said with anger in her voice. “Bob should have left them to deal with the future on their own.” She added with a huff as she sat back and folded her arms across her chest.

     “I can understand you being upset Sarah, but Damon didn’t deserve to be put in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He’s as much a victim in all this as Alice and I was.” Alexis pointed out.

     “How do you feel about them Alice? It was you that ended up suffering because of what they said about you.” Sarah asked, trying to get Alice on her side.

     “I can see your point Sarah, but I saw Damon push Paul out the way that night Matt tried to run them both down. Damon could have saved himself, but he chose to save Paul instead.” Alice said with a sad look on her face. “How can you expect me to hate someone that gave up his life nearly to save his friend?” Alice asked.

    Sarah went to say something, but stopped when she realised that it was a lame argument she was about to make.

     “Did you know that the two of them go and help teach the guys on the football team to keep up with their classes now? They both went to college and got degrees, so they could stop any other kid doing what they did to Alice.” Alexis pointed out.

     “Damon and Paul did try to speak to me once about you and Alice, but I just told them to get lost. Damon tried to tell me that he didn’t think you were driving the car when it hit him, but Matt’s dad threw some money at some big wig lawyer and it all got swept under the rug.” Sarah said feeling a little upset with herself for not taking the time to listen to what Damon and Paul had to say now.

     “I gather you became a bit of an outcast clinging on to the memory of Alex all these years?” Alice asked.

     “I didn’t care Alice. I just knew that Alex was my soul mate, and when I was told he’d been killed in prison, I just wanted to spend the rest of my life close to his grave until the day I could join him.” Sarah said with a sigh as she looked at Alexis sat next to her holding her hand. “I love you Alexis.” Sarah added just before leaning in to give her a kiss.

     “As I love you Sarah.” Alexis said when they stopped kissing each other. “I’m just sorry it took me seven years to come and tell you.” She added just before they kissed again.

    Alice offered to sleep on the sofa when Alexis said it was time to get some sleep, but Alexis dragged her and Sarah into her bedroom and then into bed with her. Alexis was in the middle, with Alice one side and Sarah the other. They fell asleep all cuddled up to each other.
