Sorry I didn't update yesterday. Everything is going Crazy. The Extension is being built and it's difficult between helping them and remembering things like this. But I will post on time on Sunday. No Worries there. Please Review, all of them are welcome. Sorry about the Spanish. The English is in the brackets after it.
Thanks xx
Alex sat away from Sylar and Maya, watching them as they talk and drink wine. They were in Virginia now, which was a relief. She was sat with Alejandro, who was holding a newspaper. "Do you think you would ever learn English?" she asked him, knowing he may not understand her, Alejandro looked at her staring into her eyes as she looked at him. "Nosotros no conocemos mucho (We have not known each other very long)" he cupped her face. " Pero creo que te amo (But I think I love you)" Alejandro said, moving his head slightly closer.
Alex wish she understood what he said, but she got the main part of it when he gently placed his lips upon hers. When they pulled away, Alex took a look at him. "I have no idea what you said, but I think I love you too" she replied, giving him a peck on the lips. She pulled out her phone and said one thing to Alejandro, hoping she got it right "foto?" she asked, turning the phone to the camera app and holding it up, she reversed the camera, so she could see the photo being taken. "Si" was his reply before he smiled with his arm around her shoulder. Alex smiled and took the photo, glad she had this new friend.
She looked at the Photo with Alejandro, seeing it as a sign she can have someone to love her. Alex looked over to Sylar and Maya, they seemed to be struggling with something. Alex wanted to go up to them and help. Alex felt a heat inside her. "No, Sylar what have you done?" she said, finding it hard to breathe, Alejandro didn't notice, too busy looking at the sky to see what was happening before him. Suddenly the pain went away and she could breathe again, coughing and choking. She looked up at Maya and Sylar, they were hugging. Well Maya hugged Sylar, he just had his arms dangling by his side.
Alejandro looked to Alex, who was deep in thought. "¿Estás bien? (You okay?)" he asked her, concern written all over his face. Alex snapped out of it, she was definitely glad about those Spanish lessons. "Sí. Pensamiento (Yes, Thinking)" she replied. Maybe she should have paid more attention to Mrs. Aikman. Alex leant into Alejandro's side, who just wrapped his arm around her. "Me alegro de que nos conocimos (I am glad we met)" he said. She hugged him closer and closed her eyes, allowing him to comfort her, even when she didn't really need it.
Alex was with Alejandro in his motel room, she was lying on the bed looking through and online Spanish dictionary while he was reading the paper. "Mira esto (Look at this)" Alejandro said grabbing Alex's arm, she looked at the paper he was holding. "¿Sabía usted? (Did you know?)" Alex didn't know what he said, but she was sure it was about the article. Alex began to cry, using fake tears. " Me dijo que me mataría (He said he would kill me)" she lied, she had been looking up the main words, trying to get the main vocabulary. "¿Matarte? (Kill you?)" he repeated. She nodded her head and Alejandro climbed onto the bed next to her, pulling her into a hug and rocking her back and forth.
Maya entered the room calling Alejandro's name, stopping when she saw Alex crying and her brother comforting her. They began to Speak Spanish and Alex didn't bother to try and understand it, knowing Alejandro would show her the article. She wiped her eyes and pulled away. "Maya, please tell Alejandro that I have to go back to my room" Alex knew Alejandro wouldn't want that, she was sharing a room with Sylar after all, much like Maya is sharing her room with Alejandro. She went to walk over to the door, but she spotted Alejandro's face. " Voy a estar bien (I will be fine)" she said to him, before kissing him quickly on the lips and leaving the room. Did she love him? or was it just an act?.
Alex met Sylar on the way out. "What's going on?" he asked, Alex looked in his direction. "As much as I hate to rat out my new boyfriend, but he found an article on you. Something about killing your mother" she watched Sylar stiffen. "You can't go in there" she told him as he walked off. Alex followed, knowing something bad was going to happen. "Maya?" he said entering the apartment. Alex gave Alejandro a pleading look, begging him not to get involved. "No interfieran (Do not interfere)" she said to him. "You speak Spanish?" Sylar asked, gazing at Alex. "A little" Alex replied.
"Did you tell your brother the good news?" He asked Maya, turning to look at her once again. Alejandro walked up to Sylar against what Alex wished. " Sé lo que eres! (I know what you are!)" he said, Alejandro grabbed Alex's arm and pulled her behind him. Sylar grabbed the door and pushed it close. "Is something wrong?" Sylar asked Maya, ignoring Alex and Alejandro. "This says... This says you murdered your mother" Maya said holding the article, she was close to crying. Sylar glanced at Maya before looking to Alex who was still hidden behind Alejandro, who was just glaring at the killer in front of him.
Sylar looked at the ground, "I know you didn't, you couldn't" Maya tried to make an excuse. "It's true" Sylar said, causing Alex to look towards Alejandro. "I did it" Sylar looked like he was going to cry, that's a new look, Alex joked inside her head. "I killed her" Alejandro asks a question that Alex couldn't translate. "When my mother found out what I could do, she didn't understand" he said taking a few steps forwards. "She told me I was a monster" Alex looked to Maya who looked to her for help. "It's true" she said, close to crying herself. All fake of course.
"My mother tried to kill me" Sylar's voice began to crack, "And as I defended myself, there was an accident" Maya didn't know what to say, she walked up to Sylar and spoke. "I understand" she said and Sylar put his hands on her shoulder. Alejandro spoke something urgent to his sister but she didn't seem to listen, Maya spoke something back and Alejandro gripped Alex's hand for comfort. "Nos vamos. Ahora! (We're leaving. Now!)" Alejandro said grabbing her arm, pulling her towards them.
"Alejandro, No!" Maya replied, Alejandro was close to crying himself. Alex squeezed his hand for comfort. Alex had mixed feelings, she wanted to be with Alejandro, to love him, but she didn't know if it was a love directed towards him. It could be anyone she was thinking about. So many different people in her life. Different men, was she feeling all this love for Alejandro? Alex couldn't think. She looked up, Sylar had that power hungry look upon his face, she knew it was close. Alex looked back to Alejandro as he spoke her name.
Maya grabbed Alex's hand with hers and pulled her back towards Sylar, as he placed his hands on her shoulders. Alejandro didn't put up much of a fight, but with one hurt look and a very fake scared look from Alex, he left the room, opening the door before slamming it shut behind him. Maya turned into Sylar who put her head on his shoulder and stroked her hair, allowing the smile he has kept hidden to show on his face. "Everything's going to be okay Maya" he said, rocking her back and forth on his feet. "I'll take care of you" he looked up at Alex. "Both of you" he added.
Alex was in the room with Sylar, packing away all the stuff for the trip. "Can't believe you lied to Alejandro" he laughed. "What was I meant to do? He needed someone's trust" Alex put some of her things away too, "Anyway. I was only half lying" she added on, laughing as well. There was a knock on the door and Sylar turned around. "Let me answer it" he said, going to open the door. "You all packed Maya?" he asked, just before opening the door, but it wasn't Maya. Alejandro ran in, grabbing Sylar by the shirt and pinning him to the door, letting it close as he pushed Sylar against it.
"I tried to let you go the easy way" Sylar said after Alejandro said something to him. He grabbed Alejandro's jacket and pushed him backwards. "But you had to be persistent" he growled. Alex stood in shock, she didn't know what to do. "Alejandro!" she yelled running up to him trying to pull him off before Sylar killed him. He turned on her, slapping her in the face knocking her onto the bed. "You are not taking my sister" he said in English, pulling Sylar towards him and pushing him back against the door. Alex rubbed her jaw and got up. "Mala jugada (Bad move)" she growled.
She grabbed Alejandro by the back of his jacket and pulled him backwards, off of Sylar and onto the floor beside the bed. She grabbed his throat and pinned him there. "Alex?" he questioned. Sylar walked over to them "Do it Sylar. I want you to kill him" she said pushing further down onto his throat from the side. "You sure?" she nodded. "Matarlo ahora! (Kill him now!)" she exclaimed in Spanish, causing Alejandro's eyes to widen. "Alex..." he whispered but it was too late. Sylar had grabbed a knife off the bed, the one closest to Alex's bag and stabbed him in the chest. Repeatedly.
There was another knock to the door and they looked up sharply. "Let me get it. You get in the shower. Pretend you just got out or something" she told Sylar as she got up, making sure there was no blood on her outfit. "Gabriel" Maya said behind the door, Alex opened it revealing Maya. "You packed?" Alex asked. "Yes. Is Gabriel here?" Sylar walked up to the door, rubbing his head with a towel while he had nothing but another covering his lower half. Wow that guy works quickly, she thought. Alex left the door and continued to pack.
"Hey I didn't hear you with the water running. Is everything okay?" he asked her, putting the towel he was rubbing his hair with on his shoulder. "I have to talk to you" she replied. Sylar looked at her, "You were right. About everything. About me. About Alejandro." Alex could hear the hurt in her voice. She took the knife from Alejandro's chest and went to wash it, still listening in. "I never meant to come between you two" Sylar started and Alex scoffed quietly, as not to let them hear. "He's my brother" Maya started back, "I have to do what I can to protect him" she added.
"In time he will understand" Alex could hear the pause. "Of course he will. He loved Alex and you, he will understand that you needed to go to see Dr Suresh" Sylar stated. "And without you and Alex. I would still be out there in Mexico" Alex sighed a little making her way back to her bag, packing away the knife and rest of her clothes they had gathered from around. There was even more silence. "I just wanna help you" Sylar said sweetly, Alex rolled her eyes and looked down to Alejandro. She really did like him, just not the way she thought, she rubbed her jaw where he had hit her. He deserved it really.
Alex realised she loved this, helping out Sylar. Helping him get what he wants. It was thrilling. Made everything so much better. And better yet. With Alejandro gone, she no longer had to learn Spanish, especially since Maya could speak English. Alex couldn't hear anything else coming from Sylar and Maya, well that was till the door closed. She sighed. She needed to get them to finish packing at some point. Especially if they were leaving tonight. Alex wondered what to do with Alejandro. Does she leave him there? or does she move him?
She made a choice, leave him there. She zipped up her bag and left it on the bed before heading for the door and opening it. "Oh. Um... Sorry" she mumbled and closed it again, a pang of jealousy ran through her. He was kissing Maya, but why did it hurt so much? Alex leant on the door and put her head back on it. Was this the man who she was falling for?
Did she love Sylar?
It had been over 2 hours since they left Virginia and travelled back to New York. They were now at Mohinder's place. "I'm going home" Alex said to Sylar. "What do you mean?" he asked back. "I live just across the hall. Did you not remember Eden? The one who shot herself? I bought her apartment" Alex told him. "Why not just stay here and use his shower or his food. I mean he is a kind man" Sylar said as Maya walked past. "Sure, but I still gotta grab a few clothes." she tilted her head in a knowing way and left to get some better clothes.
She walked back into the apartment with her fresh clothes in hand and noticed Sylar was in a bedroom, he had a phone to his ear. And if Alex's memory served well, it was Mohinder's apartment phone. "Hello Mohinder" Sylar said smirking, Alex stood in the door way and watched him. "I convinced the babysitter to take the night off" he stated and Alex smiled, remembering not 5 minutes before. "Don't worry" he said. "I'm taking good care of the little one" he stroked the girls head and Alex recognized her as Molly Walker, the girl who could track anyone down by thinking of them. "Shhhhh" Sylar shushed Mohinder. "We don't want to wake her" he whispered, looking up to Alex who just smirked in return.
She left the room and went to the bathroom, starting up the shower, locking the door behind her and stripping down before climbing in, savouring the sense of the hot water running down her body. She scrubbed herself clean, making sure that she was all nice and fresh. She even washed her hair, which had begun to get all dirty and very greasy. She climbed out and got dressed into her black jeans and black t-shirt. It seemed Sylar was rubbing off on her. She looked at herself in the mirror before she brushed her teeth. She had taken the liberty of grabbing her tooth brush and hair brush.
Alex checked herself in the mirror again. Now all that was left was to brush her hair. She began to do that, undoing all the knots that had made its way there. When she finished she put her brush down and made her way out the bathroom. "Feeling better?" Maya asked in the kitchen, she nodded her response, watching as Sylar walked up to them and put the phone back where he found it. "Now we wait" he said and Alex took a seat on the table, like she did before, when they had strapped Sylar down.
Oh this was going to be fun
