A very interesting man rides up and I can't help ,but find him oddly familiar. Not necessarily his looks ,but just the way he carries himself. There's a self depricating gleam in his eye that I should be able to recognize ,but it's source escapes me.
"Hello all.I hope I'm not intruding on your picnic." He acknowledges the group ,but his eyes never leave Isabel. Hmmm. Could it be?
"Hello Lysander." Iz pipes in all the information I need. Aha! This is to be my partner in crime. Although he seems less than enthused to be within a mile radius of me. Who pissed in his cherros? Why is he so pissed at... Oh. Realization strikes. He must know about the affair. Shame overwhelms me. I quickly push that aside. Feeling bad about what is to be doesn't prevent it from happening.
"Please...join us.We were just talking about you.Weren't we Rosa?" Isabel grins wildly as I rise to my rather stubburn feet. I do not even want to face this guy. His eyes are all judgementally. Is that a word? Whatever he appears to me ready to stamp 'Tramp' on my head at any minute. How am I going to convince him to help me?
"Yes, we were. Only good things were said I can assure you." I reply with a slight smile. He is so not buying it. Walking toward him I get about two steps away from him when I trip on a loose rock. Stupid cloth shoes!! It is then that Lys leans over to catch me before I hit the ground. Well at least he doesn't completely despise me.
His hand touches my shoulder in such a way that my bare skin is against his. It is then that I recieve the most vivid premontion I have ever had. It seemed to be memories of Alex and I going backward.
*Alex telling me he was going to marry Isabel*
*Alex kissing me for the first time in years when I had lost my memory.*
*The day I walked away from my first love. That look in his eyes broke my heart. I thought I'd lost my best friend."
*The night of our Senior Prom. We were each other's firsts. Both of us were kind of fumbling around. We had no idea what we were doing, but it was sweet."
*Alex standing up for Liz and I when we were little. The kids at school called us freaks ,because we were different, but not Alex. He just held my hand and said everything was going to be okay.
*This flash is different from the others. It's Lys and Rosa fighting beside a sparkling lake. Theres something in that stubburness in his eyes that...
Suddenly it all makes sense...
"Alex." I whisper unable to hold it back.
Abruptly I back away trying to act cool. I think only he heard me call him by another name. He looks stunned. Did he see it to?
"Thanks for catching me." I stammer unwilling to meet his eyes.

"Only good things were said I assure you. Rosa informs Lysander
She steps forward and clumsily trips on a loose stone which is rather funny considering who's direction she is falling in...I feel like laughing but I know that doing so will earn me a dirty look from her so I keep a straight face.
"Rosa are you okay?" I ask as I put my arm around her shoulder
She seems rather dazed for whatever reason and I can't hep but notice that Lysander seems to be slightly shocked as well.What the hell is going on here?Why are they all acting so weird today?Even Scott.It's like they all are hiding something from me.
"Sit down Rosa." I order her as I push her down on to the rug "Scott unpack the food please.Lysander will you come with me to collect water." I ask him politely and turn towards the stream
I need to find out somehow why they are behaving so oddly.

"Rosa are you okay?" Isabel asks while putting a careful arm around my shoulder. She seems to be stifling a giggle. Oh yeah she'd really be laughing if I told her I just had visions of times I shared with her 'real' soulmate. Not the cheap generic one she's obtained in this life.
"Sit down Rosa." She commands as she pushes me down onto the blanket. No there's the Izzy I know and despise. So bossy.
"Scott unpack the food please. Lysander will you come with me to collect water." she dishes out the orders and it is when I realized that I'm going to be left alone that I begin to protest.
"Iz.. I..." I begin but am silenced by that look Scott shoots me.
"Um.. Be careful. There could be serpents near the water." I warn while glaring at her now fiance.
I can do this. It just takes a little will power. This coming from the girl who ate an entire box of oreos by herself on one of her self loathing sessions. All I have to do is think of Michael. Sweet. Sensitve. Sexy, Michael. We will be together again.
(Alex's Past Life *Lysander*)
What was that? Those people? I've never seen them before and yet I feel as if I know them. No, that can't be right. They looked awfully funny and that lady's clothing was far to revealing to be proper. I wouldn't dare to associate myself with such deviants ,and yet than man. It was as if I was seeing through his eyes. Like I was him or something close to that. Goodness Lys, you are losing your mind!
"Scott unpack the food please. Lysander will you come with me to collect water." Isabel states and I have to admire her assertiveness. She always knows what to do.
"Yes, Ma'am." I answer as I follow her to the water.
I really don't like leaving them to alone ,but for now it is a neccessary evil.

Rosa starts to protest but then keeps quiet and mumbles something about serpants...Is that girl on some kind of drug?There aren't any serpants in the brooke.
Just when I thought Scott and she were starting to get along so well,it's as if she is trying to be as far away from him as possible.
"Yes Ma'am." Lysander says and follows me to the brooke
Once there,I bend down at the edge and tip the pitcher in to the water and turn to look at Lysander who has bent down besides me.
"Lysander...are you feeling okay?You were looking a little pale just now when you caught Rosa...and well,she's been acting weird ever since she got up this morning.I don't know if I am reading too much in to things but I get the distinct feeling something is being kept from me.You would tell me right...if you knew a secret." I ask him searching his face for any kind of give away

Once we reach our destination Isabel gracefully bends down at the edge of the brooke and tips the pitcher in the water and turns to look up at me. She's got the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.
"Lysander...are you feeling okay?You were looking a little pale just now when you caught Rosa...and well,she's been acting weird ever since she got up this morning.I don't know if I am reading too much in to things but I get the distinct feeling something is being kept from me.You would tell me right...if you knew a secret." She questions and I step back a little as if to avoid the searching she is doing with those magnificant eyes.
"I. I am feeling quite well. I couldn't very well inform you on the status of your friend Rosa ,but I'm sure that in time if there really is something bothering her that she will no doubt tell you. As for the matter of secrets. Izzy, everyone has them. Sometimes it's best that we not know." In all honesty I don't know whose secret I am refering to. Scott and Rosa's or mine. I've carried this huge torch for Isabel for so long that if she ever figured out the extent of my feelings she'd probably have a good laugh.

Lysander hesitates for a moment which only arouses my suspicions further but he's quick to dismiss my misgivings,without looking in to my eyes which is unusual for him,he always makes eye contact when he talks to me.
" As for the matter of secrets. Izzy, everyone has them. Sometimes it's best that we not know." he says in an almost 'wise old man' fashion if that makes any sense
Yeah I know about secrets...I wonder what you would do if you knew what I told Rosa a while back?Regret being so withdrawn...or...give your brother a run for his money?Guess I'll never know now will I.
Getting up once the pitcher is full,I shake out the skirt of my gown,since it's become a little dusty and proceed to walk back towards where Rosa and Scott are.
"I suppose you're right Lysander...what we don't know will never hurt us." I say a litle annoyed,I don't like being kept in the dark about things

Once the pitcher is full she rises and absent mindedly shakes the dirt off of her gown. Even simplest acts such as that showcases her exqusite beauty. If only I had acted sooner. If she was wasn't my brother's fiance. There are so many if only's in that equation. She begins to walk back to where Rosa and Scott are and I suddenly begin to panic. This will probably be the last chance I have to speak to her alone before her and my brother are to be married.
"I suppose you're right Lysander...what we don't know will never hurt us." I can't even pretend not to notice the aggravation in her tone. Why is she cross with me? Is she unhappy that I couldn't tell her what she wanted to know? I can't have her leaving thinking that I am holding out on her.
"Isabel wait." I call after her. "There is something thats bothering me." I offer hoping to grasp her attention.

When my backs to him he suddenly asks me to stop "Isabel wait...There is something that's bothering me."
Ahaa!I knew it.Everything's been so strange today.I look over at Rosa and Scott who are engaged in conversation and barely seem to even be aware of us anymore.
Turning back to face Lysander I set the pitcher down on the grass and place my hands on my hips "And...you'e going to tell me what it is?" I ask urgently
I am happy that he is taking me in to his confidence...at least I hope he will.

She looks skeptically over at Scott and Rosa before turning to meet my gaze. Could she suspect the truth? Maybe that's the information she was digging around for. I wish it was within my power to show her what an evil and corrupt man my brother really is ,but it is not my place. My brother would surely have me kicked out of the castle and banished for my betrayal of him. Even that I would even stand for the lovely lady in front of me.
I suppose the real reason I don't confess to her all that I know is out of fear. Fear that she won't believe me. That she'll say I'm just jealous and my words will hurt her beyond repair. The thought of her never speaking to me again of not being in her life brings a deep sadness over my heart. So I remain silent.
She sets the pitcher down on the grass and places her hands over her hips in a defensive positon.
"And...you'e going to tell me what it is?" she asks eager to hear what I'm going to say.
"I'll tell you everything I can."I promise hoping that she can help me figure out what those odds pictures in my head was all about.
"Has Rosa seemed any different to you? I mean before today. I know it's sounds ridiculous ,but something happened when she touched me." I reveal thinking maybe she would have some insight. After all Isabel is the only person Rosa is remotely close to.

Lysander promises to tell me watever he can and I notice a certain amount of confusion written all over his face.As though he is having an internal monologue with himself,trying to make sense of things.
"Has Rosa seemed any different to you? I mean before today. I know it's sounds ridiculous ,but something happened when she touched me." he asks me out of the blue
Approaching him so that Rosa and Scott won't have a chance of hearing anything that passes between us I nod.
"Well...up until this morning she was the same old Rosa.But when I went to her room this morning she acted like she did not recognize me...I believe her exact words were "What are you doing here?" when she first saw me this morning."
I pause for a moment trying to recollect the other strange incidents from the morning."The she said,""Please don't tell me I'm your best friend." when the topic of my marriage came up.There were other little slips here and there but not as glaring as these two."
Looking up at him I ask quietly "Why?"
