Alyxander's mind skipped through many memories that he and Reika shared; most of which weren't so pleasant. A few in particular were especially painful; one time where Reika had been nearly beaten to death and he'd barely helped keep her alive.... another time where Draco had accused the two of them of stealing food and both were starved as punishment... There were small clips of happy times too though. There was a small memory of Alyxander's first kiss with Reika, as they sat along the bank of a lake... games they used to play... but nothing overly romantic or out of line; proof that they had been very close friends, but not intimate together. The dreams followed one after another, small bits of each of these memories, while Alyx was partly unaware that Kate was peering into all of it herself. Not that he would hide these memories from her... but knowing all of his past with Reika was like reading someone's diary; it was personal to them.<br/><br/>Finally, as the clips of memory began to lengthen into more bitter thoughts, they settled on one thing in particular.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Alyxander and Reika were in a line-up of servants, all chained together with their hands behind them. Lord Draco wasn't far from them, telling about each of the slaves in the line. This was an auction of course. One after another, a few were sold off, the line becoming smaller and shorter. Only Reika, Alyx and a few others were left. A man with a cruel smirk and piercing grey eyes stood as Lord Draco stopped near Reika. [i]"A hundred, for the blonde haired tramp."</span>Alyx glanced to Reika as she was unchained and led off. The girl looked back at him with a frightened, saddened look. She called out for him once, but her voice was lost in the murmur of voices as the auction continued. The dream faded off at that point...[/i]<br/><br/>Alyxander shook away the thoughts, whining a little as he tried to think of something else. Tears brimmed his eyes, even though he was still asleep. The day Reika had been sold off was one of the saddest moments he'd suffered through. And all the time after that had been torment for him.
