Alexa's gaze never left Kelly's eyes. She didn't particularly approve of the werewolf's behavior, but this was their problem. A 'pack' thing. She felt sorry for the werefox, the last thing she needed was for her Alpha not to understand what was going on in her heart. The vampire actually hoped that by changing the mood a bit everyone would just leave the drama behind and focus on today. After all, their 'today' was so much more precious than hers, who lived much more 'yesterdays' before they were even born and will probably see thousands more 'tomorrows' long after they'd turn to ash. Why were mortal creatures so keen on wasting time with small misunderstandings and big sorrows?<br/><br/>"Rica dear, can't you see that you're making the girl cry? Stop acting like a heartless bastard and assure her that everything will be alright even though we all know that's not quite right...." she pierced Kelly's eyes with her cold gaze. Alexa wasn't one to easily show kindness, if anything she even forgot what that meant..it remained just another word in her vocabulary.<br/><br/>"Actually everything will be fine, just.not.the.same" she punctuated her last words to make sure the silver fox got what she was saying. "It'll never be the same, you'll never be the same. As long as you accept that you won't need anyone else to comfort you...not even your Alpha."<br/><br/>The female vampire failed to understand why women in general sought to drown their misery in a man's embrace. It's not like it would magically make the pain disappear or erase those horrible memories. Well, God knew she tried....<br/><br/>"Now you can either weep like a damsel in distress or help us pay back the bastard who did this to you with the same coin...and an interest rate to top it. You seem like a well built werefox, isn't time you prove to yourself that you're so much more than a victim?"<br/><br/>Her eyes roamed over Kelly's body once more before stopping at Puternic's hand and at the red liquid still dripping from the open wound. She leaned over and took his hand once more as if to keep him away from touching Kelly any further....when in fact she couldn't resist the calling of the blood, almost tasting it in her mouth, sliding down her throat, quenching that neverending thirst...
