Lellouch was awakened by an intense pain on her neck. It was like something was stuck on it or someone stabbed her on that area. She can hardly move even though after touching it, there was no blood nor wound at all.
She tried to recollect the events before falling into deep slumber. No matter how much she thought, her last memory led her to the scene when Xander cut the skin on her neck then something appeared in front of her of everything went blank. She touched the skin, though she can't feel any wound but she can feel the pain.
Something is definitely wrong with her. Firstly, she was stabbed by her left leg during the attacked of an assassin during her flight. She saw her blood flow from the wound and the pain was unbearable.
The second one was during the plane crash when the plane was totally destroyed yet she was intact on a chair with a seat belt on.
Third is when she was bitten by a snake, and that's when she saw how her body heals on its own - although the pain was still there.
Lastly is the cut on her neck last night. It was real. She recalled the sharp blade cutting through her skin.
She cried. She can't bare it anymore.
Hearing her sobs, Xander went to her immediately. "H-hey... What's wrong? "
Lellouch uncover her face and to his surprise her eyes glimmed. It was like looking at the ocean in the middle of the night under the moonlight.
"I'm afraid! I am becoming a monster!" She wailed.
"Shhh... Tone down, someone might hear us and find this place. Please calm down." He comforted her. "I know how you feel."
"Y-you do? " Lellouch asked in between sobs.
" You might be wondering why your alive after what I did to you, but I did it on purpose." Xanlnder sighed upon looking away. "I had to do it to make sure I was right. And, indeed, I was."
"What do you mean by that? Am I some sort of a monster?" She asked, frightened.
"No, no. It's not what I meant. It's just that, you and me are different." He tried explaining yet Lellouch only blink a couple of times as a response. "What I mean is that we have this connection that nobody else does. Like we are one. We were mea-" Xander was interrupted when a voice from behind spoke.
"You will never be meant for each other."
Hearing this, both Lellouch and Xander turn then backs and saw Alejandro trying to stand. Xander move quickly to assist him.
"Hey Boss, you are not yet well. I believe you need more rest."
"No, I have never been well like now. The both need to hear me out before you steal away my bride." Alejandro put emphasis in his words. He needs to make yhings clear for the three of them before anything could happen.
Xander sighed and choose to sit in front of Alejandro. He gestured Lellouch to do the same way. It took her a while to obliged as look intently to the two me in front of her.
"You are both Atlantean." and there, Alejandro said it.
He was expecting quiet a reaction from the two people in front of him yet the two just stare at him in confusion.
In few seconds, a loud laugh came out from Xander's mouth - echoing in the cave where they hide. Immediately, Lellouch dived at him to cover his mouth while Alejandro's shoe flew on his head.
"You, idiot! You want us to be found huh!" Aljendro hissed.
"Fine, fine! What the heck, Boss? I didn't know you are fund of fantasy stories? " Xander mocked at him while he tried laughing silently, squeezing his tummy.
Now it's Alejandro's turn to look at him with a poker face.
"Is this kind of joke?" Xander asked and laughed again.
No response from Alejandro, he just look at him - bored.
"Fine, fine! Oh, jeez! My tummy hurts. " Xander utters while catching his breath.
"You are descendants of Atlantis. Same goes with the Godfather of the Gramd Empire, Magnus Grand." Alejandro added.
This time, Xander stopped. He knew the man, but haven't met him in person. He was known as the greatest enemyof the Martins.
"Your father, Jose Martins, kidnap the real Fabean because of your blood. Your father may not know that you are one of them so maybe thats the reason why he never laid eyes on you." Alejandro chuckled. "If only he knew he had a gym on his empire he would never had haunted the Grand lineage."
Xander was dumbfounded. Now he was able to connect information. Things that weren't given emphases as he work on his father schemes. He was after the blood of an Atlantean and he was one of them.
"Why was he pursuing Lellouch? Why not Magnus himself? He could have the thickest blood ever alive." Xander asked.
"I don't know. Only the old man knows." Alejandro shook his head. Trying to figure out the reason behind the idea.
"And how can you explain this indescribable feelings that I had for her? Ever since we met eith years ago, when I saved her from being kidnapped."
Lellouch's eyes widened, so her savior was Xander Martins. Quickly, she grab the collar of his shirt and there he saw the Infinity Tattoo.
She gasp, overwhelmed with excitement and happiness. Finally! She found her savior, who she devoted to submit herself.
Alejandro frown, not liking the glimpse of Lellouch's eyes towards Xander. Then his eyebrow began to twitch when her eyes sparkled! He immediately between the two of them to break the connection that started to burn.
"That connection is normal to all Atlantean. As to what the old man said, meeting one of their kind blooms an indescribable feeling on their being. Just like coming home for a very long time." Alejandro spoke in such a hurry.
"Now I need to meet the old man to clarify this things." Xander exclaimed that made Alejandro sighed of relief. "How about you, Lellouch?"
Hearing this, Alejandro's eyes narrowed as he looked at the man. He needs to stop Xander eyeing on Lellouch.
When both men look at the woman, they froze.
Lellouch let out a beautiful smile that was never been witnessed before. She was dazzling with her eyes sparkled.
Both men was mesmerized by the beautiful sight Alejandro hit Xander's head.
"H-hey! What's that for, Boss?" Xander complain trying to maintain the smile on his face.
"Now, what should we do to escape from this island?" Lellouch asked and the two men return to their usual faces.
"Now we have to sneak on one of the helicopters." Xander suggested. "I saw one flew earlier this noon. If I'm not mistaken, I saw my father with Fabio on it."
"Why would they abandon their men like that? How sire are they that their men will capture us?" Lellouch question made them think deeply.
"Something is not right." Alejandro blurted. "They were not pursuing us anymore. It's as if they are waiting for us to reveal ourselves. Like a rat coming out from its hole."
"Whatever it is, we need to move fast. Now I know my father's goal, what's lacking is his intentions. Why would he need someone's blood from an Atlantean?"
"Your queries will be answered once we meet the old man, so right now we will think of the easiest way to get out of here." Alejandro responded while he stand. He offered a hand to Lellouch who was lost in her own world. "Hey... Are you alright?"
Lellouch took seconds to respond. "I don't think so. I am not feeling good. Something is going to happened. Like a tragedy, though I hope not. " She responded honestly. The worry was evident in her eyes.
"It's time to get out of her, don't worry I protect you." Xander look at Lellouch intently.
"Do not forget who saved you last night." Alejandro mocked at him with a grim on his face.
Upon saying this, Alejandro stopped. He realized something odd to himself.
He remember Xander calling out the demon's name. Instantly, the beast awakened inside of him. Yes, he has a demon imprisoned inside his body. But when it's name was called it will be awakened and take havoc in the surrounding.
Fortunately last night, it was controlled.
How was it possible?
Was it because her blood?
It was the blood of Lellouch that the demon drunk first before it's feast on the armed men.
And after the transformation, it was surprising that he was able to return to his self over the night when it took him days to return when he had the transformation before. p
Did something happened to him when he drunk the blood of Lellouch?
He can't tell. Now he is bothered of the idea of Lellouch knowing that he is he a partly human and a demon. What would she think?
He look at the woman who was staring at him as well. Will she ve afraid if she finds out his real identity?
"Of course, Boss! How will I forget? You tran-"
Xander was interrupted when Alejandro covered his whole face. When he was released, he was catching again his breath. Xander was on his knees while waving his hand as a sign of defeat.
"Fine, fine! I get it." Xander said in between deep breathing. Then he move closer to Alejandro, getting the idea why the man did the thing. He tapped Alejandros back as hard as he can. "Indeed, you are the knight of the survivors! "
