The Messenger (On Hold)

Don't shoot the messenger, because sometimes the messenger shoots back.

Alexis was light, from her blonde hair all the way down to her pink painted toes. She was quiet, friendly, and kind. Her eyes, light blue like the sky on a sunny day, shimmered with radiance.

That all changed with the summer.

No one knows what happened. X returned dark, from her obsidian hair to her black combat boots. Her eyes, though still blue, were clouded over, the shimmer long gone. Anger radiates off her like a physical force. She expels confidence and something unnamable… something dark.

Everyone had nearly forgotten about her, until they all watched as she singlehandedly took down the school's boxing champion, Riker, better known as "Striker Riker", with professional level precision. Then, as quickly as she changed, she disappeared.

Again, everyone moves on, except for Riker. Riker never forgets a fight, especially the ones he loses. He's determined to find her, even if she doesn't want to be found.
