Welcome to the supernatural

It was raining. It had been such good weather the last couple of days, and people had enjoyed the summer heat - and then just like that, it changed. Flipped around. Alec had been at the academy the whole day, helping his old friend Levi settig some things up for the new school year. However time had caught them and it was getting late. Alec being Alec, he wasn't bothered by a little rain, even through it fell down quite brutally. Almost supernatural. There wasn't a lot of people out in this weather, and the ones that were - they were easy targets for creatures hunting at night fall. Alec went through the park, it was the easiest way to get home. However he sensed something. The racing heartbeat not long away from him. It made him narrow his eyes and trying to look forward. He saw someone running, and then it hit him - he knew the heartbeat. It would take forever for him to even understand how he knew, he just simply knew it was her. He couldn't sense much of the following hearts - other than they were vampires. The rain and darkness made it unsure for him to know if she was harmed or unharmed - he knew it would be optimistic of him to assume she was okay at this moment.

Alec found him self forgetting his surroundings and just teleport himself closer to the scene of the crime. And he was right on time, he showed up just as a vampire was about to grab Ash. Alecs magic made him appear in the space right between them - having the vampire grab his neck instead of the human. He mumbled a few words, making the vampire let go of him as the creature crumbled to the ground begging for him to stop. He grabbed Ash hand and looked over her shortly.
"You alright?" He asked worried and returned her eyes to the angry tribe of four vampires. The one followed to the ground got up. "Witches.. so stupid," hissed one of the vampires arrogantly. Alec snorted and looked at them. They licked their lips and showed off their teeth.
"Vampires .. always so arrogant," he mumbled a little and looked at all of them one by one. He carefully watched them, to make sure not to underrastemate them - just because he was older, it didn't mean he was better than everyone else.
"Just go away already - no one needs to get hurt," he warned them.
One vampire stepped forward, but stopped gasping for air - or what looked like it. It didn't take long before he was falling to the ground - and his body were turned to grey - frem the chest blood was dripping out.. Alec had wounded the vampires heart, leading him to his death.

Alec wasn't stronger than them. At least not compared to the vampire strength, and in the rain their movements were heard to track for his vision. He was pushed away and hit the ground as the two other vampires jumped on him. Alec hissed as he heard her scream. He filled the anger boil in him. Alec was usually calm, or good at hiding the storm that was under its way. "Get the fuck off her," he yelled, but the heavy rain lowered his voice to the sound. They were right, she wasn't his mate. It didn't matter. She was innocent.
"Clearly, you have never played this game with a Sinclair before," he mumbled a little to himself. He cast a spell, making the vampires holding him burst into flames. They screamed running off him, before they were turned into dust. Alec got up and breathed out.  Alec moved over there quickly and grebbed his hand on the head of the remaining vampire. He used his other ability to perform neuropsychic surgery on the vampire, slowly shattering the creatures mind - forcing him to let go of Ash. Once he was sure the vampire was nothing else than a piece of nothing, he turned to Ash and sat down next to her.
"It's okay. I'm here," he assured her and looked at her wounds. He needed to get her out of here, but using all of his abilities so much as once - it wasn't good when he wasn't use to be this extreme with them.

He however had never been the selfish type, and gently picked her up in his arms. Alec looked around, no more vampires seemed to be coming. Which meant he could get out of here without killing anymore. At least for now.
"Just relax, I got you," he said with a calming voice. He listened to her heart beat, making sure it kept on beating. He teleported them back to his house not far from the park, but it was the fastest and the most safe. He laid her down on his bed, he didn't care about the sheets getting covered in blood. He felt his head spinning a little, bit it didn't matter. Alec quickly walked over to one of the shelves and took out a little jar and opened it. He took something out and put it on her wounds. "It might feel a little cold, but it will stop the bleeding and the pain a little," he felt his body tense up in worry. He sat down on the bed and took her hand. He could slowly help her body gain back what it had lost in the fight. But all magic had its prize, and he was slowly starting to bleed out of his ears and his nose. He gave her a little tired smile. He moved his free hand over the side of her face and caressed her cheek gently with his thumb.

As she dozed off, he used his magic to dry her and quickly got her cleaned up. Then he got up and walked to the kitchen to get some water. Alec took his wet and bloody shirt off and put it in the washing and walked over to the window. He wanted to make sure no one had tracked her blood. Not that they could get in, he had learned a few tricks from Rebekah, and that was locking the house magically. He sat on the sofa, and tired falling asleep there, but was worried about him not hearing her heart beat if she needed anything. So he pulled a few blankets out and placed on the floor on the other side of the bed and laid down there. Alec closed his eyes and let himself fall asleep to the sound of her heart beating. He was knocked out from using so much of his abilities, reminding him he needed to use them more often not to get out of practice.

Alec he reacted slowly to the sound of his name. He opened his eyes and looked up. Before he said anything or had the chance to he could see her feet on the floor on the otherside. Ash called out again.
"Over here," he spoke with a little hoarse voice as he sat up. He looked at her with a soft smile. "I'm right here," he got on his feet and walked over to her. "How are you feeling?" He asked and gently took her arm shortly to see her wounds. They were closed, possibly leaving a scar if he didn't heal it better. Alec didn't want to let go of the soft skin, and looked at her. His thumb softly stroke over her skin, before he let go and looked back at her eyes. But his other hand had gently its tender grab on of the blonde locks and felt the softness between his fingers. He then forced himself to let go again. He knew he might overwhelm her, and despite that being the last thing he wanted to do - he felt the need to just hug her, so he did that - he wrapped his arms around her.  He kissed the top of her head. Letting her deside when to push him away. Alec had been quite scared in the moment. Ash was important to him, he couldn't describe why. It wasn't a mate thing, it was a him thing. She had crawled under his skin.

She didn't push him away, he wanted her to feel safe. Alec only wished he had been quicker or had been there to prevent what ever had happened. Despite his wishes, he knew that he couldn't change the past, and what ifs wouldn't do him any good. So he just simply took the win in the fact, that he was holding her in his embrace right now. He wanted to make it better, just take her away from this world while it was still able - but she had already been here for quite some time. And after last night, he couldn't keep the secret anymore. He didn't want her to feel like she was going crazy. He remembered the first time he saw magic and demons for the first time - it was centuries ago, but he still saw it as some of the clearest memories in his mind. Alec knew she didn't understand any of this. He didn't expect her to. This world sometimes caught him off guards as well, with hybrids and new creatures around the corner. For a second he was thinking about calling Levi or Clarissa - both of them would and could do an excellent job at telling about the supernatural. Alec, could as well, but he was a witch - a warlock. She had seen him do a little magic trick, but she had abilities on her own. Maybe he made a bigger deal out of it than it was. He knew opening her mind to his reality was a dangerous thing, or it could be. "I'm gonna explain everything to you, I promise," he whispered in her hair and closed his eyes for a little while. He gently stroke her back comforting with his left hand, just holding her close. He took a deep breath in and breathed out.
"You are safe in here," he assured. With a spell like his, it would only be Rebebah or someone who was immune to magic - which was rare.

It would be insane to anyone who wasn’t grown up with it. He had told people about the supernatural before, and the outcome was always different- some people were believers and others weren’t. Alec looked at her when she pulled slowly out of his embrace. He kept his eyes at her, feeling like he could see all the confusion in her mind, but he didn’t look. He gave her a little nod to assure her, that her words were right.
“ It’s quite the long story. I think you need coffee for it” he gestured her to the sitting room, by having his hand gently placed on her back. He was unsure of how stable she felt on her legs. And maybe he wasn’t fond of letting her go just yet. He used his magic to brew some coffee out in the kitchen, but she couldn’t see it from the sitting room. “ Are you hungry? I can make .. a sandwich?” He suggested. Alec was an excellent cook, when he had something in his fridge or had time to prepare something. And he knew he could text Alison about a magical food delivery. He let go of her and walked out to get the mugs with coffee. He remembered how she had ordered it last time, and put them on the table.  He then walked out to get a plate of fresh food, some melon and pineapple - Levi would strangle him if there wasn’t pineapple if he casually visited. Alec also grabbed two glasses and a pitcher of water. Then he sat down next to her.

Alec took his mug and took a sip of his coffee, it depended a lot of his sleep how he took his morning coffee or if he even drank coffee - sometimes tea was just fine for him. He watched her taking a piece of melon, and he took a piece of pineapple - thinking about taking a picture just to tease his friend - but right now wasn't the time. Alec took a deep breath in, knowing he would have to explain last night quite slowly. It wasn't like he could just start with vampires, and that was it. If she had been hunted by vampires, the chance of demons or werewolves was quite huge. Maybe she just had a way of luring trouble to her doorstep. There was still a lot he didn't know, and lots of darkness around her - but he didn't need to know any of that. He didn't want to read her like a book, feeling like he would skip to the end and miss out on all the good pages.
"Vampires are real," he breathed out, after serval years on this earth - he knew how stupid that most sound to human ears. "All the myths you have watched movies about, and read in stories. They are, at least most of them are - true," he scratched his neck and put his mug down
"I know it sounds like im making it up, but I promise. I don't - I wish it was something I could make up," he assured her and moved his blue eyes back to hers. He took a deep breath in awaiting her reaction to the bomb he just threw at her.

The cards there out on the table, and now it was time to play them right. He was surprised by how she was handling it. Not that he had expected her to freak out on him for saying this, but things like these could be hard to process. So freaking like this, wasn't bad either. It meant she took the time to rethink every word that he spoke of, or something similar perhaps. He wasn't sure what went on in her head. Alec shook his head when she asked if he was a vampire.
"I'm not a vampire," he confirmed with a little smirk. "I couldn't like without the taste of coffee," he pointed out and grabbed the mug again to take a few mouthfuls. Alec took a deep breath in. "I.. I am a warlock, witch- what ever people label it as," he sighed and scratched his chin a little. What could he do, just to show, that he wasn't just joking around.
"Tell me one thing you want to appear, any object you can think off -" it was the first thing that came into his mind. He couldn't show off fangs, claws or glowing eyes. He had magic unlike many others, and he wasn't sure it was going to convince her. Alec knew he could just turn an object into something else, or something crazy - but he knew something crazy wasn't what she needed right now. Alec took yet another mouthful before he put the mug down again. "I'm serious. Come on Ash, trust me - one thing. Just the first thing crossing your mind," he added with a little grin. Alec liked his magic, it wasn't a secret - but he also respected the powers he had.

Alec frowned his brows for a small second by her choice, but not that he judged it. It wasn't like he gave her much choice. He took her hand gently, and placed his other hand on top of hers. He mumbled a few words and then he removed his hand once more. He lifted one of his brows, "Tada," he tried to humor things up a bit - not that he thought he had or would have much success.
"I'm sorry - this most be, overwhelming and weird," he scratched his neck a little and took a deep breath in. "I assure you. I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable or anything. Its just, I want you to be safe -" he looked a bit away not sure why he was so out of words. Usually he had no trouble just talking, but right now he felt like he didn't make any sense. Not to her or himself. "- And knowing all the facts.. will be safer than not knowing," he added and scratched his cheek a little nervously before breathing out. His heart skipped a few beats. Alec wasn't the type of person to get nervous, or step carefully about how people saw him. Somehow the way she was viewing him, meant a lot.  He had this feeling hitting him a few times, but he usually stepped away from anything like that. Since he had turned into a witch to save his life, he had been connected to Rebekah. Then when she died, he had been bound to a new soul. The thing had been going on like that. Alec had stepped away from anyone what would be his mate, in fear of them being dragged into his family mess. However, he never forgot the feeling. The feeling of wanting to belong to that specific person. It cause the first time he met her. As people in history would say; the person he belonged to had been dying. He felt that. But after years and years avoiding meeting them - the price was to feel when they died - knowing he could have been there, but he wasn't. He believed they were better off without knowing him. He looked at Ash and took a deep breath in, as the burning feeling turned to his collarbone. Magic like his made it easy to turn invisible for others, but he felt it. And he knew right away, where that specific person were and who she was. And he was looking right into her hazel eyes at this moment.

Alec pushed the witch side of him a little away, hoped he could think just a bit more clear. He was usually pretty aware of the world around him and its people, and he hated things like magic influencing his actions. Because he knew how he felt right before, that didn't change - it was just simply the double of what he expected by this very moment. He was one of the lucky ones, having ages to control this thing Rebekah had cursed him and every single witch after him with. Ash asked how many, he didn't know what she meant. "Of?" He frowned a bit, "species?" he guessed and looked a little out in the room. Could he even count the amount of species he had met in his life.
"Species are a little like animals.. and plants in that way, I don't think there is a number for it," he admitted and listened to her heart. Hating the way his words effected her. "I understand if you want to scream at me for saying all this.. you most think I'm a deranged idiot or something," he added in a small sigh and looked away. "but I would never lie to you," he quickly said before and looked back at her once more.
"I was.. what you would call human once too. I couldn't do anything magical - and I never forget when I was told about all this being real," he told before grabbing his mug again to take a mouthful.

Alec gave her a little nod. "Take all the time you need," he added with a hint of a smile. He wanted to do something, but what? He couldn't do anything to ease the situation. Learning about something that had been on the marked in movies and novels for the past years - it wasn't easy to sell to humans today, because they for ones tended to romanticize everything supernatural because of the written word. Science was another topic making human believe there wasn't such thing as vampires or werewolves until something was proven - and it wasn't because vampires was lining up to give their dna.  He snapped out of his own mind by her question and shook his head.
"No. Its a more difficult process," he still remembered when his granddaughter was turned into a vampire. The first turned vampire, as if the purebloods weren't bad enough on their own. Alec had never been fond of them. They were created by magic, and he still searched for a way to undo that terrible spell. "If you add garlic into your daily meals, just one meal.. it will keep them at distrance. Or - "he got up and walked to one of his shelves. He took out a necklace and moved to another shelf. "Vervain can prevent their abilities.. and if they touch it.. it will make their skin feel like its burning off.. so," he put some vervain in the necklace with a spell. "As long as you were this, it will keep you from being a target." He handed it to her before sitting down again.

He watched her movements as she walked to the mirror and put on the necklace. Alec liked watching the way she moved, then she walked back to him and hugged him. First taking his breath away by the embrace. He put his arms around her and just held her close for the time it lasted. Feeling her pull a bit away, making him long for the seconds to last longer. He felt his heart beating faster by being this close to her. He could lean in to kiss her, to feel her lips upon his - but their touch remained a mystery to him, as she moved away. Alec took a deep breath in and felt his heart beat to hard against his chest. Her question made him force himself, to make his heartbeat slow down.
"No, it doesn't hurt me," he assured her with a warm smile. He took a deep breath in. "Anything else you would like to know. It's possible I have books somewhere about a little bit of everything," he admitted. Alec liked to write and read about other peoples experiences with different creatures. "That is if you like to read," he was quick to add. If she didn't like reading it could be quite heavy stuff.
