Drake chuckled as he shook his head and leaned against a beam.<br/>"Think of it as he's a child who's found a new toy.  He doesn't want to share.  We are his new toy and he doesn't want Shahara taking his new toy away.  So he's protecting it by warning us.  Alex is a fairly old demon so it's rare for things to catch his attention but when they do, he wants them for himself.  We just happened to be the lucky bunch that have his attention.  He's not doing this out of the kindness of his own heart, he's doing this because it's a game to him."<br/><br/>Drake sighed and rubbed his chin.<br/>"I would avoid telling Aria about any of this.  Alex could have killed her and not thought twice about it.  He's got energy to spare believe me.  Loosing some energy from killing her would have been a blessing honestly.  Demons need to get rid of unused energy or it can kill them, hence the aggressive behavior.  The three ways of using energy for a demon are fighting, destroying things and sex.  I'm sure Alex has sex whenever he can but to his credit he has never raped anyone.  Says it's not fun.  He'll tease don't doubt that but only if he knows that the female has a hidden desire for him.  So since sex is done by him he's left with fighting and destroying, which he enjoys a lot.  See now?"
