The Underground

(PLOT TWIST TO KEEP IT INTERESTING)

As Lionel's wings encased Alexia, she started to have flashbacks. She was trapped in a small box, banging on the walls as best she could, and screaming for her parents to let her out. 'Not until you've learned your lesson! Next time you think you're thinking about kanoodling with the shifters, MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK TWICE!!' She broke the kiss and suppressed her scream as she broke free of his embrace, cowering into a corner and rocking back and forth in the fetal position. "never again... never again... never again..."
She muttered.

Lionel's delight turned to shock as she tore from him in a deranged way. He scrambled to his feet and stared at Alexia in her state. "Alexia?" His tone unintentionally mimicked the tone that he might use with an injured animal. Lionel sat on his haunches so he was eye level with her

Alexia jumped at the proximity as it snapped her out of the flashbacks. She continued rocking slightly. "I'm... I'm fine... I'm fine..."

Lionel shook his head as he lowered his eyes. "There's something I'm missing." He knew there was something wrong and was worried, but there probably wasn't much he could do. His wings had merely touched hers and that was enough to trigger a memory?
