yep....here's more

A few short hours later, the sun woke me up. I groaned and glanced around, Alec was still asleep next to me, and Lecto was asleep by out bags. I slowly stood up, trying not to wake Alec, and looked at the fountain. It still had pink water but it wasn’t as bright now. I took in a deep breath and looked at the sky, it was cloudy. I listened; it was all quiet except for the occasional bird chirp.

All the sudden I sensed something behind me and turned. A man was standing there, it was the one that gave me the necklace “Hello again.” His face stayed stone cold “Hello, Miss Alexis. How was your night?” I realized that this guy was probably strong and Alec didn’t have his powers. I didn’t even know if this guy was dangerous “Um, who are you?”
“No one you should be concerned about but I do have one question.”
“Yes?”
“Where is Alec?”
“I’m not sure.” Alec shifted next to me; thankfully, he was behind the fountain. I cleared my throat “I get the feeling that you aren’t exactly the good guy.” He smirked “Oh and why would you get that feeling?”
“I don’t know, I think it was the way that Alec reacted when he saw the necklace.”
“Alec doesn’t know what he is talking about.”
“Says who, he’s been right about everything so far.”
“He killed your entire family yet you answer his every beck and call. Plus you actually look like you are starting to “enjoy” his company, if you get my meaning.” My face flushed and I sensed Alec waking up. I hardened my voice “I suggest you leave, now.” The man cocked his head “Is Alec waking up?” I took a deep breath “I don’t know where Alec is and I suggest you leave.” Alec heard me and stayed still. The man cocked his head “I thought I would get a different response out of you, because of Leah and all.” I said nothing; he smiled “Shall I be asking for my necklace back?” I took a step back and grabbed the necklace “I think I’ll hang onto it.” He cocked his head, smiled, laughed, and disappeared.

Alec stood up slowly, watching me. I looked down. He cocked his head “And who was that?”
“I know as much about him as you do.” Alec reached out and took hold of the jewel on my necklace “Apparently you know a little more then you say.” I turned so my back was facing him “I’m sorry. He gave me the necklace when I first met Leah.”
“Oh that explains everything.” He put his hand on my shoulder “Leah did tick you off didn’t she?” I smirked “That she did.” He turned me around “Could you let that go?” I sighed and glanced at the sky “Will tomorrow come?” He smiled “Yes it will, yes it will.”
