They Live Among Us (Vampiricchild x Siaya)

Alex sighed, struggling to his feet after being knocked down by the attack. "A Shade. They lurk in the shadows and attack unsuspecting humans before dragging them back to their hideouts and eating them." He said, gritting his teeth slightly as he moved. "They were wiped out a couple of centuries ago. They aren't very intelligent, so they aren't very subtle. Evidently though, at least one escaped."
Alex leaned back against the wall a second and looked toward Victoria. "Look, I know you've lost your trust in me, and I completely understand that, but Nyaira will be heading this way any second and trust me when I tell you she is dangerous. I can protect you from her, but not out in the open, and especially not like this." He told her, gesturing at his bleeding torso.

Axle, having not received a response from Lola, turned and started jogging toward the tree line. Once he got there he broke into a run, heading straight for his favourite spot. He was running late because of that interaction, he just hoped that he could still get there before sunrise.
As he approached, he could almost taste the dawn, and so he put on a burst speed, stopping just before he arrived at the edge of a cliff. He slowly moved toward the edge and sat down, his legs dangling high above a rocky river. This was a remote spot, no one ever seemed to come here, it was always quiet... Peaceful. But he didn't come here during the day time, for fear of someone seeing him and following him.
As he sat, the sun slowly peeked over the horizon, rising up and bathing the picturesque scene before him in orange-golden light. He watched as the light played off the morning dew, inhaling the scent of nature and listening to the calls of newly roused birds and the buzzing of insects starting their daily routines.

No worries, I'd rather it be running slower than too fast for people to keep up :)

Axle stopped himself from sighing. This girl was far too energetic for his liking.

"Yes, my name is Axle. Nice to meet you." He smiled at her as he walked through the door. "Now if you'll excuse me, I prefer to run alone." He said turning towards the woods just to the east of the school. He preferred to be alone, especially in the mornings, so the energetic girl beside him was doing nothing to improve his morning grumpiness. He was trying his best to hide his irritation, but he knew if he stayed with her for too long, he'd end up saying something hurtful or offensive.

Axle watched as a blonde girl walked towards him and greeted him. He tried to remember her name, he knew he recognised her from somewhere.
"I like exercising when it's crisp and there's no one around." He said simply, opening the door, then gesturing for her to go first. It was a social convention to hold a door for other people, though he never did understand why. It seemed impractical to him to open a door and then let other people go before you.

Alex sniffed the air. The something that was in this alley was a Shade. Hidden in shadow. He only realised that's what it was as it lunged.
"Victoria look out!" He shouted as he darted between her and the Shade, which slashed it's claws down his chest, as he blocked Victoria from harm.
The Shade, thwarted, melted back into the shadows and slithered away, leaving Alex bleeding.
Alex gasped, trying to take in as many deep breaths as possible. He healed quickly, but Shade wounds took longer than most. They had a light poison that coated their claws. It wasn't lethal, at least not to vampires, it just meant the wound would take much longer to completely heal.
"Damn Shades. I thought they were extinct." He growled as he pushed his hand against the gashes in his chest, trying to slow the bleeding.

Alex caught up to Victoria quickly, he moved in front of her and blocked her path.
"Victoria listen to me. I am not your enemy. But there is something in this alley and we need to get out of here. I can explain everything if you just come with me. I promise you're not in any danger from me, I would never hurt you." He told her, looking directly into her eyes.
Of course, she was completely within her right to never forgive him, but he wasn't going to give up trying to protect her. Not with Nyaira around. Not with the attack on the college imminent. Not with everything going on.
"I'm sorry I lied to you, but I had to. Don't you see? I couldn't risk you knowing who I was because I knew you'd be scared, I knew you wouldn't trust me. I've been trying to protect you this whole time, from the truth about me and from everything else that might harm you. That's why I invited you to stay at my place. Tomorrow night there is going to be an attack at the college, and I need you out of the fray so it can be stopped without you coming to any harm."
