“Delilah, I...” Alexander didn’t know how to express himself. He looked at her as he got up and held his hand up in a defensive manner. He looked at her, feeling so bad for not telling her sooner. But he couldn’t exactly be like “Hey, my name is Alexander, nice to meet you – oh, I’m a demon.”
Alexander almost jumped back when Delilah shoved her palm into her face. She smelled better than ever, the open would tempted him. His eyes turned a few shades darker, but he still forced himself to refuse his urges. “I don’t want your blood.” He said hastily as he pushed her hand away from his face. Alexander’s temper was out to play.

“You think I knew about you all along? I only just found out last night.” Alexander said in a louder voice than usual. The veins were showing on his forehead as he forced himself to remain contained.
“It was not my duty to tell you what you are; just like it is no one else’s business to explain to you what I am.” Alexander breathed heavily as his body started to tremble slightly.

“But thank you, Delilah, for hearing what other species think of my kind before finding out what it is I really am.” Alexander said in a harsh tone. His body was frozen in one spot as he spoke. He was too scared to move after what he had said. Even through his really bad anger, he knew he was saying the wrong things. Alexander finally shook his head and ran his fingers through his hair.
“I knew you’d feel different about me after you found out.” He said softly, making sure to break eye contact with Delilah. Alexander turned around and grabbed the doorknob, squeezing it a little too hard and pulling it off. He leaned his head against the door and scolded himself for doing the opposite of what it was he intended to do. He shouldn’t have let his temper get the better of him.
