She wasn't ready to move from his embrace though so she kept her head on his shoulder. Something important rang in her mind. Elias had said that he didn't love her any less. [i]he loved her[/i] [color=ed145b]"I know my normal first instinct is to run from you but... this was -I need you. I need you to tell me that you won't hate me."[/color] She could see the softness in his eyes and knew that she had a lot of answers to give him. Alexis gave him a deep and tender kiss. [color=ed145b]"I love you too Elias. I have for a long time now."[/color] Shuddering from her reaction to that kiss, she sat on his lap looking at him. [color=ed145b]"Wayne and I were underneath the city in a whole other city of wesens. I had to stay quiet and hidden from the others down there so they wouldn't try to kill us. I'm going straight to the part about my mother. We are connected by the hex in us. My mother was apparently fatally wounded while pregnant with me by a hex. The only way to save us was for her to receive a blood transfusion from the hex that did the damage, that naturally effected me. My mother apparently turned into a hex and she killed my father accidentally. When I was born she hadn't learned how to control it fully so she told my aunt Jean and my uncle Marcus to keep me safe so they put me at Marcus and Elenora's as their adopted daughter."[/color] She stared at him for the meaning to sink in. [color=ed145b]"It means I am a true Grimm, on my mother's side."[/color] Alexis stopped and she felt so weak and exhausted. [color=ed145b]"I need to speak to Aunt Jean. She'll have the details. I now know my grandmother was Elizabeth Grimm. I just didn't realize that Maggie was my cousin."[/color] Dehydration started to get to Alexis and she looked around for water in the room. Crawling off of Elias' lap she went to the pitcher and poured a glass of water. She guzzled it down and poured another. [color=ed145b]"I've already been using my powers but I haven't woged out yet. I don't know how strong my powers are or [i]what[/i] they are yet. What if I can't control it, my mother couldn't and she killed my dad."[/color] She looked scared and like she might run. [color=ed145b]"What if I-?"[/color] Her voice heavy with feelings broke. [color=ed145b]"I can't let you get hurt by me."[/color] She looked at him with all of the pent up feeling in her and hoped he would understand it. With tears in her eyes she headed for the door to the bedroom. Alexis was determined that she wouldn't do what her mother did. If it meant she would never see him again then she would make that sacrifice. The more helpless she felt the more her powers started to act up and that scared her. [color=ed145b]"I have to go! I don't want to hurt you and I can't stop the magic!" [/color]Alexis looked scared to death. She stopped to give Elias a kiss but her emotions were so tattered that she was losing control of herself fast and when she looked down she saw claws forming where her fingers were. The pain in her head was so bad that she grabbed her head and screamed. Seeing Elias she knew she had only a couple of seconds. [color=ed145b]"I love you."[/color] She darted to the window at full speed and dove out. Alexis went to the woods where they had encountered Hexenbiests before. She needed answers. [@December]
