Alex

I scratch the back of my head. Wincing a bit at the movement, "My bandages need to be changed, Riley."

My abdomen feels like it's on fire. Along with my arms and my legs and my nose and about half of my whole body. I cannot believe Medusa is here. Here in Australia. How did those dogs get her snake's venom anyway? And did I really see a kishin egg come out of one of them?

Does Soul really know I'm part witch?

If he knows that what else does he know?

Could he leave me?

I frown as I run my hand through my hair. I listen to the T.V. for a little bit while Riley collects things form her bag. There's nothing on a rabid dog attack so I pick up my spoon and dip it into my bowl once more. I look around at everyone. Soul's watching the T.V. intently and only looking at me when I make a noise which is rarely now that I noticed him doing it. Jake is dozing in the sun like a cat would. Riley is waiting for me to be done with my breakfast, now that she's found everything, before she changes my wrappings.

After I had made my statement to Riley, Soul had pulled out some cereal and poured me a bowl not saying a word about anything and I've begun wondering if he ever will.

I hate how his silence is making me think all kinds of possibilities. Especially the one about leaving. I already left him once—

DAMN IT! I sound like his freaking girlfriend!

I am not and will not be one of those girls that continuously wondering if their boyfriends are going to leave them. UGH! I am not going to worry about him like he means something to me because he just…DOESN'T!

I drop my bowl and I feel the hot tears stink my eyes, "Alex?"

Why am I feeling all of these emotions now? This is all so confusing!

"Alex, are you alright?" Soul's voice filters into my thoughts but, it doesn't mean it stops them.

I'm lying to myself. I know I can't be without him now. I know I can't. Now that he knows, and he hasn't left it only means that he feels at least something for me. And now with Medusa here…anything is possible.

"Today's someday." I turn my head and look into Soul's red eyes. They widen for a moment but, then happiness feels them.

"Mistress Alexandra, you may tell him after I change your dressings." Riley hops on to the couch as Soul sighs impatiently.

I take my shirt off not caring if anyone stares. I hurt and I want it to go away. NOW.

"Mother!" I growl when Riley presses a little too hard on my calf.

Riley looks up at with a warning glare. I just lean my head back and stare at the ceiling. The venom is disappearing but, I can still feel it in my system. I hate to admit it but, Medusa one damn good witch.

"All done." Riley sounds more cheerful than she should be after causing me so much pain but, I don't say anything. "I'm going to go take a nap." I nod my consent.

I look at Soul from the corner of my eye beginning to become nervous…

Jake had left to find Ally and Cynthia. They needed to know I was alright. Broken but, alright.

It is just me and Soul.

"I found out when you were talking to Stein way back when." Soul stares out the window.

I smack my forehead with my hand. I should have known. Why did I not see that he was totally lying back then? Damn.

"Medusa's my aunt." I drop the atom bomb with a chuckle feeling like a complete moron.

Soul looks at me with shock wide eyes.

Before he can open his mouth to speak I go on, "My mom is the head of the Araiguma family. So, y real last name is Araiguma but, since my mom kicked me out of the family I had to come up with a last name. At the time I was standing on a hill. I still have no idea who my father is. All I know is that he cheated on his wife with my mom.

"Since this was a sin in many religions Medusa took the opportunity to experiment on me. She injected kishin blood into me while I was still in the womb while my mother was sleeping. So, I grew up with the craving for souls while training to be a witch. No one knows why I didn't completely become a witch but, I think it has to do with the kishin blood.

"I was an exceptional half-witch. I proved a lot of superstitions wrong. I beat many regular witches in a lot of things but, I knew being a witch was not what I wanted to do. I wanted to get back at Medusa. I wanted cold blooded revenge. So, I went out in the world with a vengeance. When I needed money I stole, until I found the guitar. It was beaten up, dirty, and it needed work. It was meant for me. It was me and I knew it.

"When Drake found me, I hadn't signed up to be a meister yet. He sat down next to me on the park bench and stole the guitar out of my hands. I was just about to 'fucking kill the bastard' when he started playing. Now, the only reason I could play was because I had conjured up a music-coon. And we all know that raccoon's are not the best guitarist.

"Drake played like an angel. He played happy fast tunes and some slow sad tunes. He made me so much money that day it wasn't funny. But, I could not get myself to be grateful for what he did. Growing up in a witching community does that to you.

"I smiled at him and wished him luck on his travels but, he grabbed my arm. I glared at him and he told me that I need to become his meister. Now, I knew what a meister was because my ma despised them for no good reason because they had never messed with our family. At first I was going to say no but, some how in those eyes I found that without them I would never been the same."

Soul raises an eyebrow but, I stop him before her can speak, "Yes, I know I sound like a school girl but, it's true.

"So, that night I put my guitar in my case and told my mom the news. She didn't take it well but, that didn't matter much to me. So, the next day I was travelin' to a school for weapons and meister in Atlanta, Georgia."

I sigh and get up from the couch moving slowly making sure I don't do anything to my bandages. I walk over to a stool and sit down, "Many of my teachers were wary of me once they felt my soul but, he never was and I was so grateful for that. So, so grateful because many people doubted my loyalty but, he never did. I didn't start to love him until after a couple of missions where he saved my ass. I knew it couldn't be the protect gene. But, we fought a lot." I look down and scratch my arm. I shake my head, "Many of the fights were stupid and mostly about my wild behavior but, I was never taught to act any other way.

"Our biggest fight was about…me moving in with him. My mother had kicked me out a few months before and I had been living wherever I could find a place to sleep. I had always wanted to move in with him but, for some reason when he suggested it I would have nothing of it. He was so pissed that he turned his arm into a scythe and cut the door down to get out. He never came back.

"I waited three days on the kitchen floor for him."

I take a deep breath tying not to cry.

"Whoa." Soul looks at me. I stare into his glowing red eyes. In a moment I feel strong arms around me. Protecting me. "It's going to be okay. I swear." That's when I notice I am crying. That I couldn't hold it all in but, for once in my life I don't care if it all spills out.

Soul presses his lips against my cheek to catch a tear. I gasp. When I look into his eyes, I find nervousness. I feel a tear trail down my face. It slips closer and closer to my lips. I find myself sucking in a breath trying to get it to touch my lips but, I think Soul would have kissed me anyway.

Hm, cliffy much ne? I know i am so MEAN but, i have to keep you interested! I will probably update really soon i promise. Remember more reviews faster update!
