Ewan's words stung Alex. She couldn't understand why he was being so cruel. She could see why Ewan didn't like Damien, and she had to admit that there was a possibility that Damien could be the opposite of Ewan, but why Ryan? He was human and her watcher. He hadn't even done anything close to bad, nothing that would endanger her. All he had done was help her. She said nothing to Ewan and just turned around, walking the opposite way of him. What was there to say? He was accusing her closest friend of wanting to kill her. To her it was absurd, impossible.
Kris had taken to wondering around the streets, trying to think of what she wanted. That was easy, but it was one of the few exceptions. She wanted to be human again, to be alive and able to live like a normal human, but he wouldn't grant that. He wanted her, he liked her too much to give her freedom. He wouldn't let her stop the job too, so that was out. Other than that she could have anything in the world.

Ewan felt terrible. He felt sick to his stomache. Maybe he was wrong. He had to fix this....
He rushed to her side and kept up with her pace. "Im sorry. I dont know whats come over me. I just have a weird feeling. I shouldnt blame it on them, I know I shouldnt. Im sorry for being....stupid." He stopped right infront of her and held her shoulders. "Im wong, your right. Ill stop blaming him. Both of them unless I have some real proof, ok? Heck, if you want, Ill keep my mouth shut forever if you want me to."

Alex looked at Ewan's torso, not wanting to look him in the face. "I don't care about Damien, for all I know he could be evil, but for you to accuse Ryan....that's just wrong. I told you he saved me, you've seen him try and protect me. How could you accuse him of wanting to kill me? He hasn't done one thing to even spark that thought in my head." She defended. She was upset and really it wasn't doing her any good. It would just make it harder for her to protect herself if something came at her.

"Ok, I believe you and if you think he's trustworthy, so do I. Im sorry. Please dont be upset with me. Its just instinct. I follow my senses and my gut feelings. I could be wrong and I shouldnt have said anything. Damien.....now I really get a bad feeling with him. I know he's not a 'vegetarian.' Impossible. He smells like his recent victims. One of his victims I met the other day in the grocery store. Its really too bad...he was a nice person." Ewan let go of her shoulders and placed a finger under her chin, tilting her face up at him. "Im sorry. I should trust you more. You are the slayer. You know what your doing, whether you actually KNOW it or not," he said chuckling. "I actually have the feeling that one day, you're gonna save my life. More than once im sure. I have yet to save yours....im not a very good protector."

Alex smiled. "That's not true. Remember the first time you went on patrol with me? Well if you weren't there to distract the vampire while I was down I could've been killed. So in a way you did save my life." She was stretching it but she wanted to make him feel better. Her face got serious after a few minutes. "So you think Damien's responsible for the murders that have been sprouting up lately?" She wasn't liking this. It would be hard to face off against a werewolf, expecially Damien who seemed clever.
Kris decided to go meet Ewan, figuring he would be alone. Unfortunately, when she got to the forest, she saw Alex at his side. They looked like they were having an intimate moment, not good. Kris couldn't have that, it would turn out to be much worse then she thought. She walked over to them, intending to break it up. "Hello you guys! Lovely night isn't it?"

Ewan was about to answer her question, when Kris came walking up. 'Great' he thought. 'Just my luck.' He glanced at Kris, frowned and gave Alex a small nod. "Hello Kris. What brings you here?" he asked, gritting his teeth together. He'd finally been forgiven and he was having a wonderful talk about trust with Alex. Now, Death, was ruining it all. "Could we ummm....talk later Kris? I need to talk to Alex about some important matters."

"Yeah I don't mean to break up your little love fest, no wait I do. I'm sure you both know why. There is a reason I was keeping you to apart and that reason is even stronger now then before. You two can't fall for each other, and don't lie because I can see it in your eyes. This. cannot. happen. You two can't get caught up in relationships now." Her expression wasn't happy at all, her mouth was pulled down and her forehead creased. It was a warning.
"Don't tell us what to do Kris. What's it to you?" Alex said, a little rudely. She wanted Kris to go away. She was having fun talking to Ewan now.
"What's it to me? Everything. The closer you two get, the more innocent lives will be killed. You two have no idea of what power Damien has, do you?" Kris retorted sourly.

"What are you trying to say? I have to go back to pushing her away because some rabid werewolf likes the way she looks? Is that what you're saying? Im not leaving her again. And its.....not a love fest. We're just friends." Ewan would keep saying that until he was sure that she felt the same way. They'd just met. "Why are defending Damien anyway? Did he charm you too?" Ewan wrapped his arm around Alex and pulled her closely and protectively.

"No, I'm telling you to push her away because Damien knows he could use her as bait. Not only does he know she's the slayer, thanks to miss smarty here, but he also knows the way you feel about her." She paused, looking from Ewan to Alex and back again. "I'm not defending Damien, I'm just trying to protect innocent people. I had to go and see how he mauled his victims, it's sickening. I'm warning you, both of you, wait until Damien is gone. You, as the slayer, should be more focused on defeating him, not making googly eyes at Ewan."
"I'm not....I wasn't....just shut it Kris." Alex replied, her cheeks going a bit red. She looked at the ground until the heat in her face died down and she could look normal. "I have this under control."
"Oh yeah? Then why is he walking around the shopping center, stalking out his next pray?" Kris asked smugly.

"He wont be for long," he mumbled, keeping his eyes on Kris. His whole persona had changed. His eyes were dark and his grip on Alex was even tighter. He chuckled inside, when he heard Alex's heart rate change at Kris' comment. Maybe she does care...
"Thanks for the advice, but this means that I should be with Alex at all times. She wont be distracted. If you think differently, ill put a bag over my head." Ewan's foot edged forward, but only slightly. He wanted to go after Damien. 'He thinks he can manipulate and use Alex? I dont think so....and....something's wrong with Kris.' "Kris, are you feeling alright? I mean, you didnt want me to be with Alex, but now you're a little more persistant. Give me a good reason I cant be friends with Alex."

That, was something she would get in trouble for. "I'm persistant for a reason. I know what he's planning for her. I know things that would make your hair stand on end. But fine, I warned you. Disregard it if you wish, but there will be consiquences." Kris turned around and started to walk away. She had grown a liking to Ewan, he wasn't like most of the snotty people in town. She only could tolerate a couple people, and Alex wasn't one of them. She was trying to save Alex for Ewan's sake.

"Well thanks for the advice. Ill try to watch out for Damien," he called out to her. When Kris was far enough away, he let go of Alex and looked towards the town. "We should probably go find out where he is...." He let out a sigh and ran a hand through his hair. "Id shelter you and lock you away for this one, but you are the slayer. We have to do this together....no distractions. Is there anything you wanna tell me before we get into trouble?" he asked, a small grin on his face. He was still thinking about Kris and what she had to say. 'Why would she come out and say that?' he thought.

Alex shook her head. "No, nothing that comes to mind. But yeah we should go and...what time is it?" She looked puzzled and took out her watch. Her eyes bulged as she read her watch. "Ah shit! My dad's going to kill me!" She groaned. Her father had told her to be home by ten, and it was now eleven thirty. She was surprised he didn't have the police tracking her down.

"Do you want me to walk you home? It wouldnt be a bother for me. Hunter can complain all he wants. I wouldnt leave you without an escort. Although.....you survived a week without me." He gave a fake pout, which quickly burst into a smile. He grabbed her hand and leaned forward. His lips were inches from hers. He pulled back and smiled, "Time to go then? Sorry about the close encounter. You smell good," he said grinning. "I will be escorting you to your house. Your father wouldnt be happy if I dropped you off right? He'd get the wrong idea. Ill get you close by atleast."

Alex smiled. "That would be great. And I wouldn't want my father to get the wrong idea," She said as her forehead creased into a fake worry line. "So we'll just have to make it the right idea." She leaned foward and pressed her lips against Ewan's. She knew that he liked her, she had been told a million times by everyone, and even him! She was going to disregard Kris' warning because she wasn't right. There was no harm in getting close, none.
