Alex looked at him for a moment a bit confused then smiled "oh really..." Dimi smirked "yeah it does.." They both started to lean on closer to each other. Before they knew it, there was only an inch of space left between them. Right as they were about to kiss, a small knock came from the front door. Alex pulled herself together and leaned away "oh..I should get that I guess.." Dimi nodded a bit disappointed seeing how close he was. Alex opened the door and outside where two police officers and the man from a few days ago, van helsing was his name right? Dimitri thought to himself. Alex looked back at dimi then back at the men "can I help you?" She said in her always cheerful tone. The cops on the other hand were not impressed "can we come in Alex. We need to ask you and your um, brother a few questions. It won't take long" Dimitri knew that couldn't be good. He couldn't get exposed. He would be killed and Alex would be rejected from the town. He was more worried about Alex than himself. "Oh yeah. Uh come right in. Is everything alright?" Alex said as the officers and van helsing walked in, but stayed silent. They all sat on the couch and motioned for Alex and dimi to come and sit in the chairs across from them. The cops flipped open their notepad and started reading questions "so uh max...this is just our follow up report. Won't take long now we are gonna start asking you some questions." Dimitri nodded feeling himself getting worked up and worried
"Alright, let's begin. On the night of your disappearance, you told your sister that you were going to take the family dog, jasper, for a walk around the track in the park. How did you end up in the woods?" Dimitri had no clue what to say. He started to tense up in his hands but tried to hide it by adjusting himself in the chair. Alex saw him starting to get uncomfortable and spoke for him "I can answer that. He's already told me. Jasper liked to case things, and he saw a stray cat. Jasper started to run towards it and broke free from the lease. Di- max, was chasing after him and ended up lost in the woods. Now are we done here, we've got stuff we need to do" Alex mentally was freaking out. She had almost said Dimitri instead of max. The cop finished writing in his note pad nodded then stood up with his colleague following suit. Mr. Helsing also stood up but was looking at Alex's neck "Alex, how did you get that mark on your neck." Alex quickly placed her hand on her neck. She knew exactly where he was talking about. She didn't know what to say. Alex couldn't just say it was because max who was really dimi and really a vampire had bit her. Dimi jumped in to save her this time. "From a necklace. The metal reacted to her skin and left a mark." The mark on Alex's neck wasn't a bruise just a read mark. It didn't hurt either. Helsing nodded only somewhat believing her. The cops nodded "alright well it looks like where done here. Thank you for your time." They said and left with helsing. Dimitri gave a sigh of relief when the door shut. "Thank god they left right." He said looking up at Alex who was standing by the stairs "Huh? Oh yeah." She said in a kinda low voice "is somethings wrong Alex?" "No nothing's wrong. If you don't mind Dimitri, I'm kinda tired. I think im going to lay down for a bit" Dimitri nodded "oh yeah sure. Go right ahead. Sleep well..." Alex gave a small nod and went upstairs. Once he heard her bed room door close, he silently walked up the stairs and placed an ear to her bedroom door. Through the door he heard soft crying coming from Alex. Dimitri didn't have to guess what she was crying about. He felt awful. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her. Plus now that he was thinking about it, their entire relationship was built on a lie. And once she found that out, it would destroy her. He figured the best thing he could do was leave so she wouldn't get hurt anymore. He went downstairs, quickly wrote out a small note to her, grabbed his jacket and left the house being as quiet as possible. He went straight towards the woods again and went back to his usual spot in the cave. He kept thinking that he was a fool for thinking that this would work and that he let himself get intrigued with her. He was just about there when he felt someone grab him from behind and placed a cloth over his mouth. Then everything went black
