Disclaimer: If I owned Dark Angel there would be a third season. But I don't.

A/N: Wow, I actually wrote a second chapter!!

Alone

She hadn't mean for him to see her. She really hadn't. Panicking. She had all but fled. Hoping that he thought she was a figment of his imagination.

She crept through the sleeping kids. And sat on a chair. She couldn't help but look back at the room she was just in. She stared forlornly at the door. She wouldn't mind a bit of company. Even him despite the fact she had just ran from him. That was the reason she had when searching for him in the first place.

She turned her attention to the X-7 at the window. He just stood there then turned and looked at her. Then, turned away again. He creeped her out. With his eyes as dark as the night.

"Hey, Weird Kid!" Alec called. "Catch this one on for size." He threw an old boot at the boy. It hit him in the face. He didn't even blink. "Oh come on."

"Alec. Can you any louder?" She whispered furiously at him pointing to the sleeping kids.

"Well..."

"Never mind. Forget I said anything." She said exasperated.

A few minutes past in uncomfortable silence. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Alec fiddling with the zipper on his jacket. Nervously?

"Max?" he said quietly.

"What!" she said a bit too harshly and she regretted it the moment it came out of her mouth.

"I was just a wondering why I caught you watching me? I guess you just can't get enough me." He smirked.

"In your dreams, Pretty Boy."

He pulled a hurt look. Pouting.

"Nice try. I'm never going to fall for it. So, you might as well stop trying." She said solemnly.

He grinned walking over to her. She stood up shaking her head.

"Alec. What do you want?"

"Well. I'm don't think I'm going to fall asleep again to night."

She could almost see the haunted look in his eyes. But then again she could be mistaken.

"Just wanted some company. Nothing wrong with that Max."

He sat down his back up against the wall. She sat down beside him.

No, nothing wrong with that.

I'm worried the characters were out of character. Please tell me what you think.
