new orleans was beautiful this time of year. of course, it had its beauty all year round, but then, things were exceptional. festivals abound and jazz music filled the air, singing to alexandria’s soul. on the balcony of her motel room, she watched as people marched along, danced, and drank themselves into a merry oblivion. she found that people, the normies; the ones who did not classify as hunter or monster, were absolutely hilarious when they were intoxicated. this did not mean, however, that she was in any rush to be old enough to so herself. she felt her way of life was making her grow up too quickly already, sometimes; though, she would never dare breathe life into those words, for fear her father and mother would know, and make her retire her weapons, early; at least temporarily.
she observed for a while before finally deciding to leave the hotel room. she would not go far, just walk a couple blocks so that she may be apart of it all. her sister elected to stay there, wishing to keep her nose buried in the lore books. she was so much like their mom; then again, sam would always argue they both equally embodied the best and the worst in them. quickly, she descended the staircase, finding elevators to be abhorrent. soon, she finds herself among a truly fantastical crowd; so mystical, mythical in nature. awestruck, she smiled from ear to ear, unable to contain her glee. she watched as musicians, street performers, and locals passed her by, not regarding her more than with simple nods or smiles. that was not what stood out to her.
rather, it was a peculiar girl on the other side of bourbon street, who seemed to be watching her; following her. pausing, she watched her for a long moment, and almost instinctively she allowed her hand to traverse to where she stashed her blade. the winchester brood were hunting out a coven of witches, all too eager to shut them down. alexandria was all too aware that retaliation and surveillance that were not merely a possibility, but a probability. she also took into consideration that this could have absolutely nothing to do with their case. it could be a whole other entity entirely, for this city was all too notoriously well known by hunters big and small as a mecca for all things supernatural. it was a coin toss, but she was not going to take any chances either way. brows furrow as her mouth hangs agape, she shakes her head in stunned disbelief. she dared to not tear her eyes from the stranger, for fear of letting her guard down for even one second too long. she had learned rather quickly what letting your guard down could result in. she was not ready to die, not yet.
“ – what the hell? “ she questioned in the form of a whisper, more to herself and the open air than anyone or anything else. she was then more determined than ever to figure out what exactly was going on here, and wrap up this case. the all too imaginative idea crossed her mind that maybe they would be able to end this in time to enjoy the end of the festivities, and hit the road; back to lebanon.
