Alexis slowly rose up, trying to recollect the events of what had last happened and why it is that she is now laying on a couch. The cushion next to her sinks down with the weight of a visitor. When she looked at what was the cause she came face-to-face with Conner.

"I see you're awake now. Are you feeling okay?" He asked worry etched in his voice.

"Y-yeah... what exactly happened?" She asked him, still trying to remember.

"You were attacked by a vampire in the ally not too far from here. You're lucky your still alive Alexis."

Reality soon struck her and she remembered the past events. It replayed in her mind like a movie... a very painful movie that made her sick to her stomach. She reached up to feel the bite marks on her neck but flinched to her own cold touch. It was still painful but she was able to bear with it.

"What an ignorant girl. She couldn't even protect herself from a single vampire. Very pitiful indeed."

Alexis looked up at the stairs to see Daku glaring at her.

"She is such a nuisance." Venom laced in his voice, making Alexis flinch at his cruel words.

Daku eyed her suspiciously but after noticing she was staring back, he scoffed and looked away.

"I thought I told you to leave earlier. Why have you caused so many problems?"

Alexis narrowed her eyes at him, starting to get annoyed with his attitude towards her but bit her tongue non-the-less.

"I do humbly apologize for being troublesome towards you but I could not help the circumstance that I was in." Her choice of words made her frown at herself but she let it slide.

"I do not accept your apology. It sounds quite fake and if you were really sorry then you still wouldn't be sitting here but instead, leave."

That was all it took. Alexis grabbed the nearest book and threw it at him, hitting him in the chest. She cheered herself on in her head and held a smirk. Annoyance was clearly shown on his face. The impact didn't appear to affect him but it was the rudeness that ticked him off. Alexis stood up from the couch but soon regretted it as she fell back down into Conner's embrace.

"You still need to rest. You can't go anywhere just yet. You lost to much blood, sorry." Conner stated, setting her back down on the couch. She didn't like the thought of having to spend more time than needed with Daku but she can't really help it at this point, no matter how annoying. She sighed in defeat.

"Fine. But as soon as I am feeling better I'm outta here."

"That would be very much appreciated." Daku grinned and headed back up the stairs to his room. 'It would be best if she stayed for as long as possible...' He thought once he arrived at his room. 'We can't have 'them' know about her just yet. Keeping her hidden is so difficult...'
