They Live Among Us (Vampiricchild x Siaya)

Alex chuckled. "I guess you could call it that." He turned to Victoria and gave her a rather mischievous grin. "There's not a back door, but there is an alternative, if you're brave enough." He said, his grin widening into a wicked display of bright white teeth. His eyes flickered to the window and back to Victoria as he said this.

Alex chuckled. "He has a habit of knowing what people are going to do before they do. I imagine he will already know that we are leaving. Besides, we don't want to interrupt whatever it is he's doing." He shrugged and pulled the door open. "If they were going to attack, they wouldn't wait for you to open the door." He added. Despite saying that, he couldn't keep his eyes from sweeping the hallway, checking for any signs of danger. He knew how Nyaira and Luc worked, but he also knew they would be trying to be less predictable.

Alex shook his head. "That was a limit for most vampires a long time ago, however there was a discovery made that certain magic can help. If you pay attention, you'll notice that most vampires have an item of jewellery that they never remove, usually a ring or bracelet. It's enchanted to prevent them burning up in the sunlight. Some, however, have the jewellery glamoured, so people can't see it, because if it's removed they can be killed instantly." As he spoke, a ring almost appeared on his finger. "Glamours, of course, can be manipulated and shown to people you trust."

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.
