Chapter 4:
Lexia took off her jacket and sat down on the bed. Angel had asked her and Connor to stay there while the Beast was on the run. Lexia knew Angel wanted to keep tabs on his son, couldn't blame him though. The boy did get in a lot of trouble.
They were taking Connor's old room, which surprised her when Angel told her where it was. Then he needed to talk to Connor. Which was fine with Lexia because she needed a moment or two to sort things out in her head.
Suddenly Lexia felt a rather cold feeling at her door. She couldn't hear anything strange but... there was something there, she was sure of it. She tiptoed quietly to the door and flung it open. Only to see no one there. She frowned and looked down the hall to see Cordelia going into her room. She didn't notice Lexia and just went right on inside. Lexia frowned and shut the door.
You are going nuts, Lex, she told herself. Sighing she sat on the bed again. But maybe she wasn't going nuts. Cordelia was acting weird. True she didn't know the norm of how Cordelia acted but she just felt that something wasn't right with her. If she actually talked to her father maybe she could figure it out but, that was out of the question.
The door opened and Connor walked in. Lexia stood up as he walked further in the room. Connor stopped in front of her and smiled sadly.
"Do I get a lecture from you too?" he asked looking up at her through the hair that had fallen over his face.
"Why would I?" she asked brushing his hair away from his face.
"Coz my dad just did," he said motioning to the door. "He said I was being reckless going after the Beast and I should pick my battles."
"He's right," Lexia said poking him in the ribs he hurt yesterday. He only winced a little, they were almost healed.
"Hey," he protested. "At least my dad doesn't try and hurt me to teach me a reason-," Connor stopped and thought a moment. "-most of the time."
Lexia smiled and pulled on his hands so he would sit down on the bed with her. "I know the Beast is not here because of you. You're a good person Connor. You could never bring something like that about."
"That's not what the little girl said," Connor said bitterly looking away.
"What?" Lexia asked confused.
"She said 'the answer is among you'. She had to mean me," Connor told her. "I know it's not Angel he's the champion, and everyone else had been around for a while. I doubt they're gonna be evil."
"Connor no. Even if your whole 'they were around longest theory' were right, I could be apart of the Beasts plant too," at Connor's look she thought about what she said. "I'm not."
"I know you aren't. But it's most likely me. It has to be."
"No it doesn't," Lexia said feeling frustrated. "God, you are such a pessimists."
"And you have such a bad temper," he teased her.
"Connor-," she tried to argue more but he put a finger to her lips.
"Look. I've had really hard day. I've gotten my ass kicked, had to fight off flesh eating zombies, and now I've gotten chewed out by my dad and my girlfriend. Can I please just get a kiss for all my trouble?"
Lexia smiled when he gave her a defeated puppy dog look. She leaned forward and put a hand on either side of his face, then kissed his lips lightly, sweetly. She pulled away slightly and looked him in the eyes.
"Better?" she asked.
"I dunno yet. You better do it again, just to make sure," Connor said smiling impishly.
Lexia smiled and did so. This time she put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Connor rested his hands on her sides, massaging her lightly. Lexia smiled as he lowered her to the bed and began removing his shirt. She laid back as his kisses lowered to her throat...

Afterward Connor hugged Lexia to him protectively. It felt so good to have her in his arms and know that she loved him. Connor felt that if there was anyone he could be sure about it was her. A thought occured to him and he sat up suddenly panicked.
"You could get pregnant," he said eyes wide. "We could have just-."
"I'm on the pill," she told him smiling. She put a hand to his cheek. "It's alright."
"Oh. What's that?" he asked settling back down beside her.
"It's medicine girls take so they won't get pregnant."
"Oh."
Connor nuzzeled her neck and kissed her there. Lexia giggled a little and turned over. She put her hand on his shoulder and rubbed there lightly.
"So now do you feel better?"
"Yeah," he said hugging her. "Lots. Tons."
"Good."
They laid together with Connor's head on her stomach and Lexia running her hands through his hair. Then they heard sirens go bye. They both looked toward the window quitely.
"It's him isn't it?" Connor asked her.
"Yeah," Lexia said.
"Why can't we stop it?" he asked.
"I don't know sweetie. I really don't."
Connor looked up at her and she smiled sadly at him. He put his arms around her protectively and looked toward the window again. I won't let him hurt her, he thought. I won't let anyone hurt Lexia.
