Walking back to Elias, Alexis took his hand in hers and looked him in the eye. [color=ed145b]"They can wait. I need you to realize that we can still hunt and do whatever we want til we are ready to settle down with a family. This isn't a trap for us. It's letting us be freer than we are right now. We will have the money to do whatever we want and the authority to do it since we will not have to answer to anyone but each other. I don't want to give up hunting, do you?"[/color]

She couldn't help but see resentment in his eyes in the future and it scared her. What if he grew to hate her? Could she let him go, down the line? The thought struck a painful chord in her. If at some point he wanted out then she would have to let him no matter the scandal that would go with it.

Alexis wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged herself to him. [color=ed145b]"Why does it feel more like I am losing you than gaining your protection?"[/color]

There was a knock at the door and Alexis broke the magical dome. [color=ed145b]"Yes?"[/color]

A servant opened the door a little bit. [color=f7941d]"Miss Alexis you and Mr. Elias are being requested to return downstairs."[/color]

Sighing she nodded, [color=ed145b]"Thank you. We'll be down in a moment."[/color] Alexis walked over to her mirror and looked at her eyes. They looked like normal eyes again. [color=ed145b]"After this is over I'll need a stiff drink. What about you?"[/color] She turned to him and allowed him to take her arm formally to lead her downstairs.
