Illyad noticed the cuts, and thought about offering to heal them, but wasn't sure she'd let him close enough to do anything, at least not yet anyway.
"My name is Illyad. I am a warlock. I have lived a long time. I helped Alex with his... Reformation as it were. In his younger years, after he became a vampire, Alex was as uncultured as any newly turned. He was even a little vicious, however, after he regained his sentience, he realised what he had done, the mistakes he had made, he began to feel guilt. It is a rare trait in a vampire." He looked into the distance, as if seeing what he was saying. "Alex spent time trying to rectify his mistakes. We found each other in the beginning of his epiphany. He wanted help, and I could give it to him. I helped him find his human morality again, and together we worked to save lives, rather than end them. We started slowly, saving individuals, removing Alex from the group he had been so invested in before his change." He sighed slightly. "Nyaira and Luc, the vampires you met today, they were his closest friends before he changed his mind. They still want him to change back. However, if they feel there is no hope for him, they won't hesitate to kill him." Illyad looked back at Victoria. "Alex has lived a long time, and kept himself apart from people. He hated the fact that people got old and died while he lived on. It saddened him if he got close to anyone, to have to leave them." He looked at her, curiously. "But you. You he got close to. Of all the people in the world, you are the one he feels is worth the pain. You are the only person in this world Alex cares more about than himself."
He looked back, almost through the walls of the room. "After separating him from the vampire group, we worked to stop them. We decimated their ranks, over time, made some friends, made more enemies. Luc and Nyaira, though, have escaped every time. They keep recruiting, and tomorrow night, they plan an attack. The vampires will be attacking the college, which is why Alex wanted you to stay at his place, he wanted to keep you out of danger. There will also be attacks at various other important points." He looked back at her. "And again, the vampires wanted you. They know you have the ability to see supernaturals for what they are. That is why you are in danger. You probably noticed there are a lot of supernaturals at your college. Some of them, like me and Alex, are there to protect the populace, and happened to be in the right age group, physically speaking. Some of them are enemies, and are going to join in on the attack."
He looked at her arm once more and sighed. "Would you mind if I healed your arm? I don't want to get blood all over my floor."
