Alex/Saria.

I'll get Elle out of here, and hopefully the others. But, I'm staying Alex wasent sure he could argue at this point. At least John had started moving the group towards town, meaning that things were slowly looking up. The situation was still a disaster. Alex knew that he would have a lot of explaining to do when this was over. He would worry about that later, instead he looked at his sister. “Sorry, but you’re actions have brought that all upon yourself Saria". He took a step back and spared a glance at the book she held, it was his family tree. He thought they had all been burned, how interesting. It was older than the ones he had seen in the castle, and slightly different as well. “Do tell me, does that book happen to have something about my sister in it? My real sister.” He spoke with venom creeping into his voice, getting the most important thing out first. Saria laughed at the comment. “Oh dear brother…or should I call you Alex from now on?” She stood up and did a slight twirl, dropping off the boulder gracefully and approaching him. “I must say, it took you longer than I thought to discover the truth.” She walked around him in a circle, tracing one hand across his shoulders as she did. So it was true, everything; the memory, Elle, he had no choice now. He could no longer run from his past. “Not everyone can be as…well informed as you Saria.” HE grabbed her hand harshly and forced her back in front of him, then pushed her back into the boulder. Much to her surprise. “How, violent. Something has changed since the last time we met, and such a brief period of time it has been.” She opened the book and ruffled through the pages. He was grimly aware that he had no weapons, they were all on his horse. “Heres the deal; you leave the others out of it. This stays between me and you, in return I…” He veered off, knowing he had nothing to bargain with. She interrupted his thoughts. “Oh I don’t think so, you see that one Quick had murder in her eyes. So I must kill her, while I’m at it; I do hate leaving unfinished work so I’ll go after the weakened girl too. It is likely that the others will get n my way and also will have to be buried. You really shouldn’t grow so attached to people, I had thought the incident with Rach would have taught you as much.” As she said the name his heart skipped a beat, it still stung. Even after all these years. Alex sighed and retrieved his ring and mask, slipping both on his eyes became blue again. The parley was over. “If you come after them, I will kill you.” He said with conviction, then turned to leave.
