Ewan rolled his eyes and pat her gently on the shoulder. "Silly, ill always need you. If not for protection, then maybe....for another reason." He was still replaying the fight in his head, remembering all of the 'right' moves he'd performed. "Ummmm, i've got some important news to tell you. But first," he leaned forward slowly, his lips just barely above hers. He wanted her permission before he just went in for the kiss. Afterward, he'd tell her about her beloved Ryan.

Alex's heart thumped faster and unfortunately, it registered on the machine. The beeping came faster and a slight shade of pink crossed her cheeks. She leaned in as much as she could, closing the space between Ewan and her. Their lips met, gently. She wouldn't admit it, or try not to, that this was her frist kiss. She had never had a boyfriend before, and now that she was the slayer it was even difficult to have friends.

Ewan chuckled softly against her lips, hearing the increase of beeps on the monitor. He thought it was cute that he could make her heart go so fast. Of course, he didnt want to give her a heart attack, so, he broke the kiss. He pulled back, but kept his face close to hers and smiled. He held her hand in his and didnt plan on letting go all night long.
"As long as you want me, ill be here. Always by your side. Protecting you and caring about you and......even loving you. " Damien was, in no way, gonna ruin this.

Alex smiled and glanced at the monitor. "I'm going to hate that soon." She stated. She was curious as to what he was going to tell her that was so important. She figured it had something to do with Damien or Kris. "So what did you want to tell me?" She asked curiously. She was getting a little tired but she really didn't believe that Ewan would stay all night. Who would? It was so boring there.

Ewan sighed and rolled his eyes. "Persistant. That's what you are! Fine, fine ill tell you!" After a long pause, he frowned and began his story. "Damien almost killed you. He thought he had. Ryan came out and told him to stop. YOUR Ryan is.....is not who you think he is. He's sided with Damien. Alex....." he squeezed her hand gently, "the real Ryan is dead. The person you thought you could trust is really Satan. He wants you dead. He was stupid for letting me live."

Alex hadn't been expecting what she had just been told. "...what? No...it doesn't....he couldn't...." She couldn't seem to form a cohierent sentence. Her chest knotted up, making it painful everytime she breathed. Her heart beat picked up slightly but not in the good way. The beeping became slightly faster, which made Kris look up.
"He's telling the truth, unfortunately. I'm sorry Alex. Your watcher died weeks ago. Satan has been using his body to get close to you." Kris piped in. She didn't feel bad for Alex because she knew what it was like to be betrayed by someone she loved.

"Breath Alex, breath. Calm down. We're here for you." Ewan got up, opened the door and checked the hallway for any witnesses. He shut the door, locked it and sat back down next to her bed. "Its alright, don't worry. Kris and I, we'll protect you from him. But you have to be calm."
After a few minutes, Ewan exited the room and went to the cafeteria to get some food. He brought back a full tray with a variety of foods. He placed the tray on Alex's bedside and picked up a spoon. "If you dont eat something, ill feed you myself. Please dont make me do the airplane thing, or the train and the tunnel."

In the time Ewan had gone to get food and come back Alex had calmed down slightly. The shock had faded to be replaced by sorrow. There was something in the way Ewan had told her that made her believe him. When she saw the food it made her feel sick to her stomach. "I'm not hungry." She mumbled and looked away from the food and Ewan, staring at the opposite wall. Ryan had been one of her best friends, like a big brother. How would she be able to beat him up when she saw his face?

"Alex, you are never ever going to see him again. Not if I can help it. You just have to realize that he was lying to you. He wasnt your friend. He just wants you dead. If we do come across him someday, I want you to remember who really cared for you. You'll know what to do when the time comes. You're a strong little girl," he said grinning. He put the tray of food on the ground so that she wouldnt have to look at it. "When you get out of here, we'll continue your training. Im sure Kris wouldnt mind helping," he said, glancing at Kris in the corner.

Alex's bottom lip quivered as Ewan spoke but she didn't cry. Part of her wished that Kris hadn't saved her. She could feel a hole forming in her chest, like a piece of her had died. She continued to stare at the wall, not wanting to look at Ewan or Kris. She wanted Ryan. Not the Ryan that he was now, her old Ryan. The guy who had taken care of her, the one who trained her to fight.

"Would you.....like to be alone? I know this must be hard for you." Just then, Hunter slipped through, having picked the lock on the door. Ewan eyed him suspiciously for a few moments and frowned. "How'd you get past the hospital staff?" Hunter ignored him and walked over to Alex's bedside, opposite Ewan. Ewan held onto her hand tightly and glared at the man infront of him. Hunter looked down at Alex and sighed. "Youve really done it this time. The cycles begun. I should've known it was inevitable." Hunter turned to Kris and shook his head. "You defended him and his choices, now they're BOTH your responsibility. Correct?"

Kris got up, peeved at Hunter. "I defended his choices?! Are you shitting me Hunter? I spent all my time trying to keep those to away from each other! You haven't done a damn thing! They were never my responsibility and they will never be. You're the one who wanted him to help the slayer, you watch after him. It's your own fault that they fell for each other. If you just told Ewan to leave like I suggested none of this would've happened. I would have had to save Alex's life to spare Ewan's." She snapped, her anger rising.
Alex flinched when Kris said that. She hadn't thought that Kris only saved her because of Ewan. If it weren't for Ewan, she would be dead. She also felt a sudden burst of anger towards Hunter. He was being extremely rude in blaming it on her.

Hunter's face was red and he looked like he was about to explode. Obviously, he didnt agree with what Kris was saying. Ewan looked down at Alex with a concerned expression. "Excuse me Hunter, but this is no place for that kind of behavior. If all your going to do is yell at Kris, then just leave. Alex needs to rest." Hunter turned around, glaring daggers at Ewan. Ewan returned the glare and waited for Hunter to start shouting profanities. None came. He was silent. Hunter turned back to Kris and started his rant. "Im leaving town tomorrow, whether this boy is ready or not. Keep the slayer alive as long as possible. Training new ones takes forever." He walked out of the room and Ewan was right behind him. He didnt wanna make a scene, but he had a bone to pick with Hunter.
"How can you act this way? You've been through this. You must know how I feel." Hunter turned on his heels, a sick smile on his face. "Oh yes, ive been in love with a couple slayers. They both died! Its inevitable! Dont you get it! And yet....you keep going further and further. Deeper and DEEPER! When will enough be enough?" Ewan was speechless and shocked. "Why do you hate me so much?" Hunter took a few steps toward Ewan, and lowered his voice. "Why? I dont know. Maybe its because you're just some random boy I picked up on the street. Actually, you know what? Ill tell you the truth because im leaving tomorrow. I am the one that bit you. I was hungry, you were in the area. After i'd realized what i'd done, I felt a little bad. You were in so much pain and completely lost. I ran off, changed and came back, pretending to be your savior. I felt guilty, but not that much. Then the idea hit me. Bring the boy back to sleepy hollow to take my place. Id finally be free of that horrid place and free of you. Free of the guilt. Id never see your face again. Id hoped that after a few weeks, some creature would finish you off."
Inside, Hunter felt terrible, but he needed to get away. He wanted Ewan to stop bothering him. This would do the trick. When the awkward silence lasted more than 5 seconds, Hunter turned and walked off. When he was finally out of the hospital, Ewan wandered back into Alex's room. He sat down, silent, and stared off into space, his expression hurt.

Kris had heard the whole arguement, so had Alex. The two weren't keen on keeping their voices down. Alex thought that it was horrible. Hunter really went out of line this time. "How could he say that to Ewan?!" Alex thought. When Ewan walked back in and sat down, Alex took his hand, an expression of concern on her face.
Kris was really pissed off at what Hunter had said. She rolled her eyes and growled something under her breath. She looked at Ewan and Alex. "I'll be back." She muttered, a hint of anger in her voice. She disappeared, going to get something or someone to talk some sense into Hunter.

Ewan looked down at Alex's hand and managed a small, but convincing smile. Before he could say anything, Kris was out the door. "She shouldn't even bother. It's not worth it." He meant it too. He took a deep breath and brushed his finger tips against Alex's hand. "I dont need him," he said, his voice almost a whisper.
Hunter had already arrived at the airport, ticket in hand. He waited in the lobby, flipping through magazines. He felt bad, but thought it was for the best. 'Please let the plane get here on time.....' he thought.
