Alex faced her and shook his head. "You don't understand... Despite your ability, you haven't stepped foot in our world." He sighed, running a hand over his face. "In our world, there are 2 types of supernaturals. The ones that belong to the old world, and the ones who belong to the new one. The old world supernaturals believe that they should be in power, that humans are a weaker breed, and want nothing more than to destroy. People like me are part of what is considered new age among our people. We just want to blend in, have normal lives. Live, laugh, love. We want to be human, but we can't do that very easily. That's why I devoted my life to protecting people, because it's the closest I can get."

Alex couldn't keep the pain out of his eyes as he realised what she thought.
"I will admit, when I first met you, it was because I had found out who you were, what you could do, and I knew that you would be being hunted, and I couldn't let your ability fall into the wrong hands. But that was just what started it. Victoria, for the past few years I've wanted to protect you because I care about you. I met you because of what you can do, but I stayed because I-" Could he say it? Could he admit it? Now? After all this time? "Because I couldn't stop myself from wanting to spend time with you." He avoided saying what he really meant. Fear held him, even now. "Because in all my years of avoiding getting close to people, you're the one person I couldn't handle staying away from. But at the same time, I was terrified of what you would think of me if you ever found out who I really am. I wanted to be honest with you, I wanted to tell you everything, but I was so scared, so incredibly scared. The way you look at me, or don't, now, you don't realise how much that kills me!" He sighed, he'd started now. "The fact that you are obviously upset, and I can't comfort you is bad enough, the fact that it's my fault makes me want to tear myself to pieces. The way you look at me like you're scared of me, like I've done something to make you hate me, it kills me. And it shouldn't. I shouldn't allow myself to feel this way but I can't help it." He fell to his knees, a tear rolling down his cheek. "You have no idea. No idea at all."

He fell to his knees, a tear rolling down his cheek. "You have no idea. No idea at all."
"What am I supposed to say, Victoria?" He asked. "How am I supposed to start this conversation?" He noticed she wasn't looking directly at him, but refused to acknowledge why that hurt. "I get that your upset because I kept this from you, but it was because I knew how you would react if I told you, and I needed you to trust me, so I could protect you. Can't you see that? Can't you understand that everything I've done, every lie I've told, every detail of my life since I met you has all been because I needed to keep you safe?"
Illyad nodded. "As you wish. Wait here a moment." He said as he left the room, heading into the kitchen.
He opened a portal, just big enough to pull Alex through before closing on itself, he didn't want to risk the integrity of his protection spells. He leaned through it, grabbed the back of Alex's jacket, and yanked him back through the portal, much to Alex's surprise.
"What do you think you're doing!?" Alex growled at Illyad. "You could have killed me!"
"Far from it, youngling. I guided you. If it were a danger, you'd probably be dead, considering your fortune these recent days. Victoria wishes to see you. Or more, she accepts that you wish to see her. I believe she has some questions for you." Illyad told him. "Please, she's in the living room, I shall leave you both to discuss matters." He gestured with his hand for Alex to proceed.
Alex, hesitantly, walked into the living room. "Hey." He said, a little sheepishly.

Illyad nodded. "Excellent. Would you like some time to prepare?" He asked, looking directly at her. He wasn't entirely at ease with this whole situation. Generally speaking, protecting humans didn't mean endangering himself, and normally he would never value someone's life over his own. He had saved many people, and would continue to do so as long as he lived. He preferred to remain alive to do so. The fact that he had already risked his life to save Victoria and would continue to was something that surprised him. Of course, he also knew what could happen if she fell into the hands of vampires...

Illyad nodded. "Would you prefer he come here, or would you like to meet at a different location?" He asked. They would be safest if they didn't move around, but he could throw up some protection spells to keep them undetectable no matter where they were.
Alex was pacing around his apartment. Victoria was safe. She was with Illyad. But she was confused. Why wouldn't she be? He cursed himself for not telling her the truth a long time ago. Of course, her issue with supernaturals didn't help him feel open to do so...
No. He couldn't blame her for his deceptions. He had chosen not to tell her. Of course she wouldn't entirely trust him after this.
He sat down and rested his head in his hands. How was he supposed to come back from this?
