They Live Among Us (Vampiricchild x Siaya)

Alex smiled as she opened the box. "It's a charm necklace." He told her. "And by charm, I mean it's enchanted." He walked over to the window in the kitchen and looked out. "I picked it up about a century ago, it was a gift from a female warlock I helped out of a... sticky situation. She told me that, one day, I'd know what to do with it. It's supposed to keep you safe, I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I figured you could use all the help you can get." He chuckled, but there was a hint of fear in his voice.

A moment later, he turned and smiled. "I really think there's no difference being here or being out right now. To be honest, you're probably safer being somewhere else. They'll expect you to be here. Besides, I have a few tricks up my sleeve as well. I'm not just a pretty face, you know." He winked and then walked toward the door of the kitchen. "Come on, wherever you want to go, anywhere in the world, my treat."

Alex sighed. "We can't just wait around in here forever. And besides, it's no safer for you here than it is out there, all things considered. I mean, Illyad is handy but he's distracted anyway. Maybe we should go out to eat." He suggested. He thought for a moment and then suddenly remembered something. He put his hand in his pocket and took out a long jewelry box, handing it to Victoria. "I meant to give you this." He said, not giving any other explanation.

Alex shook his head. He knew the woman was telling the truth, he could just tell that about people. He cursed under his breath as the sound of the helicopter became louder. "Let's get out of here. We'll work things out once we're in the clear, come on." He went back to helping her move quickly toward the safe house. He wasn't sure they'd make it in time to avoid the helicopter though, and he didn't want to lead the authorities to his door...

Alex shrugged. "A little. I think their tastes are a little more unique, so they try combinations of foods that most humans would find disgusting. Like prunes and tuna." He listed that example as a foul smell wafted from the fridge and he immediately closed it. "I think we'd be safer going out for lunch." He coughed and spluttered. "I tend to keep my wallet in my pocket, keeps it safe that way." He said, smirking. "I'd definitely recommend it."

Alex stopped. "Stop dodging questions." He said simply. "Asking your name isn't exactly a probing question, and I'm not going to tell you anything if you don't return the favour. I want to help you, but I'm not going to waste my time and effort on you if you can't give me a straight answer." He sighed. "Now, shall we try again?"

Alex chuckled. "Well, I can see what Illyad has in terms of food, but I'm not hugely hopeful. I don't exactly know much about the warlock diet but I don't thing it overlaps much with human food." He walked toward the door to the kitchen. "So how is your aunt doing?" He asked, assuming the text message was from her. He didn't really use his phone, so he couldn't think of anyone else it could be.

Alex chuckled. "I lost count at 400." He was mildly amused that Victoria had chosen that question, of the many she could have asked. He sighed. "Can we just... Take a minute? Just for a little normalcy? I know that this is all hectic and battle time and everything, but even I'm getting overwhelmed here, and I'd like to breathe for a few seconds." He asked. He knew that, if he was feeling overwhelmed, then Victoria was probably close to collapsing under the pressure of it all. He wanted to alleviate the situation, even if only for a few moments. Allow them both a bit of time to relax and to prove to Victoria that nothing had to really change once this was over.

Alex smirked. "I could ask you the same question." He sighed and decided to answer the question. "I've spent the past few months searching for the facility. I can't work out where it is. I know it was somewhere in this area, but it's not easy to find. That's why I was here." He shifted the bullet proof vest in his free arm as he began walking with the woman. "First question for you, what's your name?"

Alexander picked up the vest. "I think it's best we take it with us. Hopefully we won't need it, but you can never be too prepared. Besides, it's military grade. If we leave it here it could fall into the wrong hands." He took a step toward the woman. "I'll help you get to the safehouse. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a few questions on the way." He told her.

"I'm going to go and contact my associates. Alex, keep her safe, and keep her calm." Illyad commanded, turning to Victoria. "Everything will be okay. I promise you." He said, before leaving the room.

"Victoria, you are the main focus here. You always have been. We protect the city, but firstly we protect you. I wanted you out of harms way before the attack so you would at least get out of here unscathed." Alex explained. "You are my priority. And not just because you can see supernaturals. Victoria, we've known each other a long time, and you've seen parts of me that no one else has. Not in the centuries I've been alive. Nyaira thinks she knows me, but you know me better than she ever did. You're the only person I can truly consider a friend." He shrugged. "I mean, Illyad comes close but we don't have much fun." He chuckled, attempting to lighten the mood.
