Chapter 16

We all stood their staring at the cream tiles cemented to the floor, Henry kept looking up at us all, and Alexander shot and annoyed glare at him, I didn't know what to do, what to say.

When the washing machine beeped to let us know it was finished me and Henry jumped, but Alexander stayed rock solid, Henry got my wet clothes in to the dryer and came back in, only to continue with our awkward silence. "Scarlet, is there anything else you would like to know about Xenotime's, or Alex?" Henry asked trying to break the silence.

"Umm, yes... I would prefer it if Henry answered please"

"Sure"

"Can Alexander eat anything else, other than drink blood?"

"He can, but it doesn't taste very nice"

"Does he have any powers, like speed and stuff?"

"Yeah, he has super speed and strength, the obvious ones really, and as you already know he can read your thoughts and know where you are"

"Oh great"

"It's not as bad as it sounds, or maybe it is, sorry I don't know"

"It's okay... how much longer will my clothes be?"

"I'm not sure, they were pretty wet, why, is there something you need?"

"No, I am just a little tired that's all"

"You can go rest if you want; we have a spare room your welcome to sleep in for a bit, I'll wake you up when your clothes are finished"

"Oh, that would be great thanks"

"I'll take you" Alexander quickly butted in. I didn't care who took me, I really needed to sleep right now and who took me up there was the least of my worries.

I followed Alexander up the stairs and the spare room, it was rather nice actually, little empty but nice.

The sat on the bed while Alexander closed the curtains, "Anything you need, or are you okay?", "I'm okay, thanks".

I then fell asleep, I think I just lied down and fell asleep instantly, but it felt weird. Last thing I remembered was me answering that last question, then I like blacked out, but in a nice way, and it felt nice too.

My eyes fluttered open and I looked at the clock on the table next to my bed, half two in the morning. Wait! What, my bedroom, how did I get here, I tried to get out of my bed but I couldn't, something, or someone had their arms around me, I turned my head, Alexander had his arms tight around me, he had his eyes closed so I think he was asleep, I was freaking out.

"Alex!" I almost shouted.
