When he called her "Rox" it confirmed what she had already discovered, now that he stood before her. It was not Alaric that attempted to rape her that night, it was Alexander. Something had been off that night, but now she wondered if the alcohol had dulled her senses just enough to mask his deception. He must have stolen Alaric's clothes and made sure he was covered in his brother's scent.<br/><br/>It should have given her a sense of relief, but it did not. Instead, she wanted to vomit. She was glad that Alaric was alive, but it was still hard to see him as the young man that she had been so close with, due to the actions of that evening. Alexander's actions. She listened as he and Jack explained what had happened, but shook her head when Alaric mentioned that Alexander's body was so badly damaged. Roxie opened her mouth to answer his questions, but then everything fell apart all at once.<br/><br/>Her back hit the ground. She could feel that someone was on top of her, but her eyes were so tightly shut and her ears were ringing from the sound of the explosion. Sucking in a breath through her nose, she became very aware that it was Alaric on top of her, protecting her from the blast. After several moments, the dust began to settle and the ringing in her ears quieted. She looked around them, trying to figure out where Johnny was. He huddled in the corner of the room, something had cut his forehead and blood seeped down his dust-covered face, but he was alive and appeared otherwise uninjured.<br/><br/>"We...We need to get out of here." She said, to both Alaric and Johnny. She could not see if the others were injured, but they had to get distance between them and whoever had staged the attack.<br/><br/>Her hands went to his chest, almost reflexively, checking for any injury there. For just a moment, it was like no time or trauma had passed between them, and she looked up at him with the same sort of expression she might have a few years ago. "I have a cabin, off of Teller's Lake. No one knows it's there." She said quietly, so only he could hear.
