One morning, in a small village of Razkaban, there's come the most beautiful girl named, Alexa Woundhart. She came out of their house and begins her little walk around the town. She's not your typical girly princess who wears dresses, but a simple girl who's famous with her fitted pants and shirt.

"Magandang umaga Alex!" The old woman greeted.

"Magandang umaga din po!" She replies, with a smile. Well, Alex is her nickname. She's not that boyish but she really loves her nickname.

"Ghad, I really want her hair." One lady said while frowning. Natawa nalang si Alex. Her hair is really different, because of its color. Long, wavy, and grey as ash. It's natural. From her perfect shapes and features, oh god, she's so gifted.

Habang naglalakad patungo sa bilihan ng mga tinapay ay hindi maiwasan ng mga taong mapa lingon sa kanya. Even mens inside of their house are looking outside the window, turning to watch her.

"Marry me Alex!"

"In your dreams mister!" She laughs. Nang makarating siya sa bakery ay agad siyang binati ng tindera. "Good morning Alex! How's your day?" She asked. "Nothing's special." She replied casually. Matapos niyang bumili ng tinapay ay dumaretso agad siya pauwi ng bahay. Nadatnan niya ang nakatatanda niyang kapatid na nililinis ang mga matatalim na palaso nito. Sitting at the table.

"I told you to stop sitting on the table asshole."

"It's comfortable!" She just rolled her eyeballs. "Whatever you say Lexis." Mataray nitong sabi. Ibinaba niya ang lalagyanan ng tinapay sa tabi ng kanyang kapatid. Afterwards, she also sat on the table, right on her brother's side.

"Kita mona! I told you it's comforta--- unmmmff!" Bago pa matuloy nito ang sasabihin ay sinumpakan na ni Alex ng tinapay ang bibig niya. He got no choice but to swallow it. Malakas na pinagtawanan ni Alex ang itsura nito. Her brother frowns.

"Just eat your breakfast. Aalis kaba ulit?" She asked. Bihirang mag stay sa bahay ang kapatid niya dahil palagi itong nasa kagubatan para mangaso. Lexis is a tall and handsome man. No wonder, he is Alexa's brother after all.

"Oo eh. I need to earn more money for your needs. Alam mo namang mabait akong kapatid." He said while still wiping his arrows. Agad itong binatukan ni Alexa. Kung hindi lang niya ito kilala ay siguradong mato-touch siya at iisiping seryoso ang sinabi nito. Too bad, she knows this guy so well.

"What was that for?!"

"Needs needs ka diyan! Ang sabihin mo, para may pambili ka ng bagong collection mo!" Sumbat niya dito. He just pouted like a child. Lexis really love collecting weapons. In fact, his room is full of deadly gadgets and other more. A lot of girls admire him because of that, but he rather wanted to get a new collection than having a girlfriend. Says what.

"Fine, kelan ka babalik?"

"Next week? I just recently discover a new route into the woods and planned to go there this day. Oh damn, I'm so genius right?"

"Mayabang kamo." Sabay kagat ni Alex sa tinapay. Napa iling nalang si Lexis sa tabi nito.

"Ano pala yung mga nasa bote nayon?" Curious na tanong ni Alexa. Tinutukoy niya ang maliliit na boteng nasa kabilang lamesa. "That? Ni-recommend sakin nung seller kanina sa weapon shop." Tipid na sabi nito habang nasa palaso parin ang atensyon. Napa-kunot ang noo ni Alexa.

"I'm asking what is that and not---"

"Fine. It's a deadly poison." Napahinto si Alex dahil don. She looked at Lexis with her sharp eyes. "What the fuck? Are you out of your mind?! Lexis that's dangerous! AND FORBIDDEN! Pano kapag nahuli ka?!" She growled out of frustration. He heaved a deep sigh.

"Trust me. Hindi mangyayari yan. I just bought it because of one particular purpose."

"And what the heck is that purpose?!"

"For hunting of course."

"You're insane."

"I know." He looked at her. "Just trust me."

Inihanda ni Lexis ang kabayo niyang si White. This is the time. Dala lamang ang mga kakailanganin niyang kagamitan. Bow and arrows, dagger, water and some foods.

"Ayos! Mahabang biyahe to White! Handa kana ba?" He said to his horse. He seems really excited. 'Why do boys always like adventures?' Sa isip-isip ni Alexa habang pinagmamasdan ang kanyang kapatid. "And why did he named that black horse 'white'? That's so stupid." She murmured into the air. Meron talagang mga pagkakataong hindi niya maintindihan ang mga lalaki. Boys and their stupid common sense.

Bago tuluyang umalis si Lexis ay tumingin muna ito kay Alexa. "Take care, my witch sister! Always locked the door whenever you're inside or outside! Understand?!"

"Witch my butt. tch. I understand!" She replied. Tumango dito si Lexis bago sumakay kay White. Biglang naka ramdam ng lungkot si Alex, aalis nanaman ang kanyang Kuya. Meaning, mag-isa nanaman siya sa tahimik nilang bahay.

"Wait! Alexis Woundhart!" Dahil don ay napa lingon ulit si Lexis.

"Mag iingat ka." She added. He gave him a reassuring smile. "I will." Tumingin ulit siya sa harapan at tska mahigpit na hinawakan ang tali ng kabayo.

"Don't forget my apple!"

"Okay witch!" Alexa giggles not minding that he called her 'witch'. She really loves apples. But suddenly, apple trees is nowhere to be found in Razkaban. No one knows why. She just tasted one when Alexis found an apple tree in another village, far far away.

"YAH!" And with that, the black horse named White, run,

as they took their journey into the woods.
