As Luca spoke Aries felt bile rise in his throat... What had Luca been through these last few days? Had he been looking for Aries the whole time? Hearing that he'd been chained up, bled near dry, and that Alex was behind it... Aries had never felt anger like this before and he honestly wasn't sure how to handle such an emotion. Already the vampire was fragile, his emotions seemed to always be more than he could handle, but right now he wasn't sure that he even wanted to be able to control them. No, he was furious, and the vampire once more turned that monstrous glare onto Alex.<br/><br/>The human looked from Luca to Aries and for a moment he considered telling Aries that Luca was lying... but how could he prove it? Plus, Luca looked like hell... It surely wouldn't help his case. So, finally, the hunter broke out into laughter, what else was there to do? "That's right, I used you both. But don't you see that I did it for a good cause? You can only kill so many with that blood of yours on your own, right? But if we gave some to every hunter then imagine how many more we could kill, how many people we could save." He said, his words hopefully convincing Aries that the ends justified the means.<br/><br/>"You've seen it too, right? Tonight you saw all those bodies from that small group. Imagine how many die every night around the city, the world! I'm not wrong." He continued, and for a moment he thought he might have been convincing the vampire as Aries removed his hands from his sweatshirt, his expression calmer, but that hope only lasted a moment before Aries gripped one of Alex's arms and with one brief motion a sharp snap echoed in the alley and the hunter soon screamed. Aries released the now broken limb, a snarl forming on his lips. "If Luca died... If you let him die... I would kill you." Aries ground out, but thankfully... Luca was okay. That was all he could have wished for. But a monster like Alex, in Aries' eyes, deserved to be punished just as the vampire though he should be punished himself... with death. it was only right for a monster.
