Alexis had truthfully never expected to wake up again. Her brain was going a mile a minute even though she was unconcious. It was kind of like dreaming, but nowhere near as relaxing. The events of the last few hours ran though her head at mind numbing speed. She wondered if she actually was dead in all of this. If this was that hell she'd heard so much about.
Something was touching her and she didn't like it. Her head twisted instinctively against whatever it was. It was cold, and wet-and.
Alexis realized for the first time that she was faintly concious. She still fell awful, but she was awake nonetheless.
"What?" Her eyes fluttered open. She was more than surprised to find herself in bed, and even more surprised that Jon was running a washcloth over her face. Actually, it surprised her the most that he was still there.
"What happened?" She made an attempt to pull away from him, but didn't have the strength. "What are you doing?"

"I'm wiping your face with holy water to see what happens", he knew it was a grim joke but he didn't care.
"I was cleaning the make up off your face, you took a lot of dead man's blood and you're going to be weak for a while. I figured I'd clean you up so you don't get make up on everything and you'd be more comfortable", Jon put the washcloth back in the bathroom.
"Alexis I'll understand that you may not want to see me again, believe me part of myself feels the same way. I'm leaving now and I don't know if we'll ever meet but I'm glad we had the time we did. I'm going to go ahead and guess you're pretty weak right now so you may be wary of unexpected visitors", he pulled out the revolver and a second set of bullets,"I've loaded it with half iron half silver bullets, in case anything nasty finds its way here and you can't stand on your own two feet. The only part that's silver of the second set of bullets are the actual bullets so you can touch them with no problem. The iron ones are in case your demon pal comes back and tries anything."
He slid out an iron knife with a handle wrapped in leather.
"I don't know if vampires can touch iron so I wrapped this blade with a leather handle. I locked up your shop for the day so nobody comes in and steals anything. Your cell phone is charged and ready in case you need to call. I wrote down a list of your phone messages and that's it. Don't think I'm happy about what I did but that's in the past. Take care of yourself Alexis, I'd hate to see anything happen to you."
He wanted to kiss her but that would've made it harder to leave, instead he walked out and went to his truck. He looked up once more at her apartment before starting the engine and driving off.

Alexis cringed at his words. There were far easier ways to kill her than-.
Oh. Right. He was kidding.
"Cute." Alexis let her eyes fall shut. "I appriciate the gesture."
She was too tired to get into another conversation with him, so she merely listened. He was right-part of her didn't want to see him again. She had a better life before she was fighting with weird emotions she was unfamiliar with.
"Make whatever decision you want." Her eyes stayed closed. "I don't regret the majority of our evening."
Her eyes opened fully when Jon began explaining the weapons he planned on leaving behind. Was he really-?
Apparently he was. Alexis moved her eyes across the items. Interesting. She almost hoped she had to try and use them.
"Iron is annoying, but not awful. It's a good way to irritate a vampire without kill it."
Work, work would have to wait. She was sure by the morning she'ed have two dozen more messages that wondered where she was.
"I appriciate it. Take care of yourself as well. There's a lot of creatures out there far more dangerous than me. And I used to think that took a lot."
Her eyes closed as Jon left the room. It was going to be a long few days.
