Alex reluctantly followed Rea out to the Alleyway. He wanted to protest, the alley was a death trap... an obvious place for an Ambush. It was then she instructed him to stay inside. Alex frowned he could feel her aura change and he slowly backed from her. "Ok..." he squeaked. But just as he turned to go back into the cafe, he sensed a dozen more that would eventually after they found there way through the mist and screaming cafe staff, would approach from Rea's blind side.  Alex glanced down at the Large glass still full of ice water thoughtfully.... and then dumped it into the foggy corridor.....<br/><br/>Alex grinned when he heard the loud bangs and curses of the demon's shouting as they slipped and tripped over one another. He thought about going a little closer to watch... by the ruckus, in the confusion he could tell they had turned on one another and where more focused on ripping each other apart than on fulfilling their mission. Alex however quickly remembered Rea, he turned, he wanted to run, but their was no place to run... the way back into the cafe was cramped full of demons that were attacking anything and anybody that moved and in front of him was Rea... and she wasn't just facing the little demons... they were very powerful. He noticed their hesitation and he knew what they were wondering... They where wondering if Rea had fed on him... IF she had, they didn't have chance... they knew this and approached her warily, sizing her up and studying her... trying to smell her... trying to find any traces of blood on her face or her clothes.<br/><br/>Thinking quickly, Alex secretly broke the glass onto the brick wall and used the sharp edges to cut his forearm... just enough to draw a few drops of blood and quickly bound it up. Just when it seemed like the demons where about attack Rea. Alex silently walked up beside her, his bandaged arm in plain view.  The demons stopped in their tracks cursing angrily and very, very slowly turned away. Alex swallowed hard and glanced over at Rea...he just had her to worry about now... he stared into her fiery red eyes. He didn't know why but for some reason he had a random thought... actually it was a thought... maybe half of one... stupid really...<br/><br/>Alex looked the demon which right into her glowing red orbs....she was tense ... ready to fight...and He kissed her! He kissed her on the lips. Alex quickly pulled away a bit shocked at what had come over  him. "Um...I" he began trying to come up for a good reason, but just stood their speechless.
