Avery: You shouldn't have brought her here
Alec: But Ave, it's the only safe place I know
Avery: She's human, they are not our friends
Alec: But..
She cut him off: Whatever you feel for her, do not expect us to treat her like one of us, least of all me. You know I'm not the only one who wouldn't want her here
Natalie: What have I ever done to you to deserve this kind of hostility. God, Alec, some friend you have
Alec: Natalie please..
Avery gave her a sharp glare, silencing her immediately: She may stay, but you will be the one responsible for her, and she's not to interfere with anything
Natalie opened her mouth but Alec squeezed her hand and looked at her pleadingly: Thanks Ave, that's all I ask for
