The wonders of Alexia

The other side

Tyler's (the man in the car with her) POV

~At the hotel~

I walk out of the elevator, a sharp pain strikes in my leg. Looking down I discover a dagger stuck in my thigh. 'Well that's new', I thought. I pull off my red plaid jacket and wrap it around my thigh above the dagger. This is going to sting. 1...2...3 Aggghhhh!!! "Fffffff-reaking, rahhh!" That hurts alot more than I thought it would! I look down and see blood gush from the wound, I pull the jacket tighter and wince with pain. I limp over to room 301, the room Alexia was in. I'm really nervous, I've grown up watching over Alexia but I've never talked to her. That isn't my mission, my mission is to make sure she's safe but not to let her know I'm watching over her. Even though I have thick muscles and awesome abs, I don't consider myself hot. I stop in front of the door and run my hands though my short hair. I step through the door knowing Mark has already told her everything. I take a device out made to erase the marks on her body that the Silence gave her meaning she is going to get "examined". Alexia is looking at the marks on her head in the mirror, (not noticing I'm standing right behind her) then she backs up into me. Her eyes get huge and her jaw drops, she looks terrified. She starts backing up slowly and slips on a towel lying on the slippery tile. I try to catch her from her fall but, it's too late. Well... that makes me feel awesome about my looks. "She's out cold." Says a familiar voice. Mark. "Dude, why are you now just getting here?" I say as I turn around. He's holding a metal bat, he swings and... BAM!!!

"Is anyone there? You better not have taken my phone, that thing costs me 100 dollars! It took me two years to pay for that!"

This is all I hear as I wake up to darkness, Alexia panicking. I try to stand up but instantly my ears ring and my head pulses with pain. Oh yeah, Mark smacked me with a bat. I feel my thigh, no pain, no wound. I heal faster than humans, it's the species I am a part of.  I ignore the pain radiating from my head and get up. 'I need to find Ale- wait what?' I feel two hands touch my foot then the other,  Alexia. Clonk, clonk, clonk. That's the Silence! I quickly cover Alexia's mouth with my hand. Ugh, she is wiggling too much. 'Sorry Alexia but I have to do this'. I shove my hand in my pocket. I slide a needle into her neck and she is asleep. I squat down and lift her into my arms. When I was 8 I got put in here and found my way out, by myself. My parents fought the Silence while I escaped, that was the last time I saw them. 

~skip to the car ride~  

 There's the car! I put Alexia into an invisible chair...what my species is also really high tech. I look at the keyboard (which I drive by). I can hear Alexia's thoughts in her dream, I can't understand them but it sounds like she's...panicking? 'What am I sitting on?' She's awake. "Nothing." 'Did he just talk?' "Yes...and before you ask it's very complicated." '1...2...3, "Unicorn." We both say at the same time. She's testing me on my mind reading.

~skip testing~

 "Wait what am I wea- OH MY GOSH DID YOU DRESS ME IN THIS TRASH CAN SMELLING JUMPSUIT!"

WHAT! Just because I've been watching her grow up doesn't mean I'm a pervert.

~Tyler explains everything~ 

"Do you have any questions?"

"So you saved me 3 times?"

"4, once when you were 12 but you were unconscious for most of it."

"What's your nam-"

Suddenly her thoughts are scrambled I can only understand something about me dying. "It was a d-dream, you were f-fake." I watch as her shoulders slump, her hands grip around her stomach, and wet strands roll down her face. She's crying. Without thinking I walk towards her and wrap my arms around her. We stand there, in silence.
