Killian stayed silent on his end of the phone for several moments has he attempted to pull in his feelings in regards to this whole situation. It hit far too close to home and he was tired of things hitting too close to home.
"I'll come back, ok?...Give me a couple of hours."
"...See you in a few hours," Killian replied his voice barely above a whisper as he shut the phone and stared down at his feet.
He stayed like that for several moments merely staring down at the floor hoping that by changing the "game" he had made the right choice...he would find out if within a weeks time they were all dead.

Alexis stared down at the Mercedes emblem on the steering wheel as she dropped her phone. She had no idea what the hell she was thinking. This was bad on so many different levels. At this rate, they'd all end up dead.
Alexis raised her hand to wipe away tears and suddenly realized something. The entire right side of her summer sweater and her jeans was coated with dried blood.
Wonderful. This had been a well thought out plan all along.
"Great." She turned the car back on and turned to glance behind her before putting it in gear. Suddenly, Alexis caught a glimpse of her eyes in the rear view mirror.
Her eyes were totally black. "Hell." Alexis suddenly realized what a portion of her problem was-she was hungry. She hadn't eaten in weeks, possibly even more than a month. The random sips of blood she'd taken during her meeting with Compton weren't going to help in the slightest. She was pushing beyond the point of hungry at this point.
"Damn." She muttered, backing the car up. She'd been so concerned with everything else, she'd missed all the signs. And the combination of Gardener's blood and her concern for Killian had cut down on the scent yesterday.
Alexis headed back towards New York, uncertain as to how to handle this. It was broad daylight. Stopping now would be dangerous on too many accounts. She had to make it home-and get Killian out of the house.
Finally pulling into the parking spot in front of the store, Alexis let her head hit the steering wheel. She wasn't even sure if she could get inside. But she had to at least make it downstairs. That had to work.
"Ok." She pulled herself out of the car and across the street. She made it to the shop's door and pushed it open. Letting it fall shut behind her, Alexis let herself collapse onto the couch. She'd sit for a few minutes....at least until she got her bearings. Just a couple minutes.
Alexis laid down on the couch, maybe she'd just sleep instead. A few minutes wouldn't hurt. No, sleep would help, she'd get more control over the hunger, then she'd be able to function. Alexis curled herself into a tight ball as she dozed off.

Killian had helped the Compton guy finish re-organizing Alexis’s room and you could hardly tell that world war 3 had broken out and Killian had to give the undead his due since he had somehow in the time it took Killian to shower and put clean clothes on had gotten Alexis enough new outfits, purses and shoes to replace the ones Gardener had broken…and then some. And not once had Ryden attempted to take a chunk out of him so all in all it had been a good afternoon especially since Alexis was coming back and then once she got back they could figure out what in the hell they were all going to do with themselves and this stupid curse and the likes of Gardener that was no doubt still out there somewhere.
Ryden had gone off to do something and Killian hadn’t asked what but he instead spent the rest of his time pacing hoping that Alexis was really coming back and she hadn’t said that to simply get him to shut up so she could hang up…for some reason he hadn’t thought of that till just now and that opened a whole new bag of worms. He had just pulled out his cell phone to call her when he heard the door open and close downstairs.
There was only since though and Killian figured that either meant it was Alexis come back home…or Gardener come back to kill them…either way he wanted to know just so he knew what mood he should be in. Tossing the phone on the bed Killian made his way down the stairs carefully until he saw Alexis on the one of the couches….apparently sleeping.
She probably figured her bedroom was still a disaster so Killian scrambled down the remaining steps and shook her carefully on the shoulder.
“Lex…a bed is usually better then a couch.”

Alexis had no idea how long she'd dozed off. She couldn't really even remember why she was sleeping or why'd she'd fallen asleep in the first place. Somewhere, she thought someone might be trying to wake her, but she didn't care. She was sleeping and she liked it that way.
BLOOD
Hunger woke her up. Alexis remembered immediately why she'd been sleeping. She was starving. And there was human blood so close to her.........
Alexis sat up, spinning around. She caught the human's throat with one hand and pushed it back against the nearest wall. Her fangs extended and she moved towards the human's throat. All she could smell was blood and she was so hungry.

"Lex..." Killian stated ocne more shaking her slightly harder...he would have said she was sleeping like the dead but even that was too corny of a joke for his liking.
Killian had not a damned clue what happened next but in about a second Alexis went from sleeping on the couch to strangling Killian against the wall and on her way to tearing is throat out.
"Lex...Aleixs..." Killian gasped out as he attempted to pry her hands from his throat.
"Alexis...don't" Killian repeated again hoping to some how get through to her...this was not going at all as he had planned it but then again he was a dumb ass for thinking it actually would go according to plan.

Alexis was beyond hungry, and beyond the point of rational thinking. All she knew at the moment was that her hands were wrapped around a living, breathing human being's neck and she could feed from him-her-it-whatever it was.
"Alexis...don't"
"What?" Alexis shook her head, suddenly feeling as though she'd been fully awoken. Her eyes momentarily flashed back to their normal color, fangs retracted and she could see what was in front of her.
She had her hand wrapped around Killian's throat and was about two seconds from killing him.
"Killian-." Alexis took a step back, staring at him in shock. "Are you ok?" Taking a step backwards, Alexis realized she needed to get away from him-before something worse happened. Turning, she ran across the room and yanked open the closet door. Slamming it behind her, she locked it before sinking down to the floor.
"Killian, do me a favor? Get out of the house for oh, say, the next hour?"

Killian stared dumbfounded for a moment as Alexis locked herself in the closet...that was new...and slightly odd but whatever helped him not get his throat torn out then he would go with it.
"Killian, do me a favor? Get out of the house for oh, say, the next hour?"
"Right...um yeah sure...no problem," Killian replied grabbing his jacket off the back of the coach.
"Welcome home," he muttered before pulling open the door and walking out in the brisk night air.
