Alexa closed her eyes a bit and then she opened them fully again. She lifted
her hand to her head and felt something that was out of place. She pulled her
hand away and looked at it. There was dried blood on her hand and she could
feel her pulse quicken. "Blood...." she whispered as she stared at it. "There's
blood....on my....hand...." She had a huge fear of blood.
Erin walked over to Alexa and tried to wipe the blood away before Alexa's
state got worse, but it was too late. Alexa's pulse was quickening and then,
in the moment Erin had stepped over next to Alexa's bed, Alexa shrieked.
Erin cleaned the blood up and ran her hand through Alexa's hair. "Alexa, it's
okay honey." she said in a soothing voice.
Alexa couldn't hear anyone. She could just see the blood that wasn't on her
hand any longer. She had stopped her shrieking but she couldn't stop staring
and muttering, "Blood....so much....blood....." She hadn't told anyone but
Serinity and Kana why she was afraid of blood. The traumatizing event that
caused her to fear it, her own Father's death....and her witnessing it.
