Alyxander raised his gaze just as he heard the door to the bedroom open. His gaze caught on Johnathan, and before he managed to pull back and off of Kate like he had been doing, he was forced up and away from the girl. Caught off guard by the other boy's strength, Alyx hit the dresser hard. The air was knocked from his lungs painfully, and for a moment he was paralyzed and struggling to breathe; and before he could regain his breath, he was already against the wall.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Johh! NO!! He tripped."</span><br/><br/>He turned his head towards the noise, giving Kate a look not to hurt her brother when he saw the metal poker she had in her hands. But of course she hadn't noticed, she was too busy trying to defend him. Alyx pushed Johnathan away, and when the other boy turned on Kate he darted between them, hissing with a threatening snarl. His fangs were barred, and he hadn't realized they'd come out; he was being defensive, he didn't want poor Kate hurt. Yet again the two boy were grappling and fighting, neither seeming to realize that Kate and John's father was standing in the doorway of the room watching the entire scene play out. Alyx was winning the fight this time, managing to get a few good blows in while attempting to dodge the attacks thrown at him.
