"Well I am sure that he is just afraid just as much as you are, even though he doesn't want to admit it himself. He is afraid of falling in love and letting someone in, afraid that he will hurt that one special person that means the world to him." She explained. "If even yourself keep thinking of him as a monster, then that is what he will act out to be because not even his alternate personality can stand him. He needs someone just as much as you do. You both are just afraid." She tried to make him understand her point. She sighed again when he looked away from her. "But you cannot dictate what I can do and what I can't. I want to spend my time on you and again it would not be a waste." She told him and watched him closely. "Well my father deserves it, and I have gone violent against my father quite a few times, which resulted in extreme punishment, but that is something I have come to learn to just accept the pain to make it easier to just get it over with." She said and folded her arms.<br/><br/>She looked back at him with eyes that were trying to reach out to him with her very own soul, trying to pull him out of the world of hurt he so locked away inside. "Until that day, I still be seen as a monster, a threat, and people try to kill me every day. It is one reason I become the general of my own army. I can protect myself from even you if it came down to  it." She said and let out a breath of frustration.<br/><br/>Anaxandera frowned when he began laughing. "You think this is a laughing matter?" She asked him seriously. Here she was opening up to a complete stranger and he just laughed. "Well look there then. I am the first person, first female to come into your life without having to sleep with them first." She said and smiled a little. "You don't need to protect me from you. I am fine on handling myself." She told him.<br/><br/>She frowned and closed her eyes as a tree grew right where she stood, raising her up on a branch to his level. She stepped over to the hedge and grabbed him, starring him right in the eyes. "Listen and listen closely. I do not need protection. I can take care of myself." She told him before letting him go.<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-family: brush script mt;"><span style="color: #00BFFF"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 200%; line-height: 116%;">Two sides of one coin</span></div></span></span><br/></span>
