Alpha Alec's Redemption by Kathy M

I woke up the next day with the name Xena still bouncing around in my head. I didn't get it. If Nyx had blocked our emotional connection, then how come I felt that fear? Why did that name affect me the way it did? And why would Nyx be so fearful of her sister if these were really remnants of emotions from her?

There were so many questions. So many theories that were driving me crazy. What had happened between them? The few memories I got, they seemed so close. They seemed to love each other. What made them change? Except for that one time when Xena pushed Nyx, there wasn't any other incident. And isn't it normal to squabble between siblings?

I'm outside, seated on a boulder, watching Aspen chase butterflies. Her joyful screams did nothing to distract me from my internal turmoil.

When it comes to Nyx, I've learned not to disregard whatever it is I feel. The fact that I felt fear when Xena's name came to mind meant something. Did it mean that Nyx was afraid of her own twin?

What could have happened between them to cause Nyx to have that fear? Remembering the premonition, I sat up right. Hell, what could have happened between them to cause Xena to want to kill her own sister? I remember it clearly. Xena said that we should have picked the right side. What was that about?

The more I thought about it, the crazier I felt I was going. There was so much in Nyx's past. So much that she has yet to talk about. So much I didn't know. How is everything tied to Xena? Why is she making hybrids? How exactly powerful is she?

Given that Nyx and Xena are twins, they should be equally matched, right? So how is it possible for Xena to create a whole new species? I know for sure I can't. So how is she able to?

And who exactly was Nyx's first human? I couldn't see the faces of the little girls, but I was going by what Nyx had already told me about having a twin sister. Another question: what happened to Nyx's first human? Are Nyx and Xena reincarnated? It would make sense, right? If Nyx is as old as I guessed, then the same goes for Xena.
