Liac walked into the house and through the kitchen. When he had gotten to the bedroom, he found that Alex had already woken up. She was carefully inspecting her gun and didn't seem to notice Liac walking in. "Where have you been?" she put the gun down and went on to polishing her many knives.
Liac looked at her with a calm expression on his face. He hopped up onto the bed next to where she was sitting. "I've been out with Makiri and Christian."
She didn't look up, but he could tell she was angry. "Why do you bother with them? They are nothing but evil creatures that i'm going to kill anyways. You should be doing something more worth your time, like collecting those things i asked you to."

Liac looked at her. "you know i can't just go out and get things like that....."
Alex stood. "and why not?!? it would help all of humanity if you just-"
"humanity will be fine. what you need to understand is that you can't go around killing everything that you don't like. it almost reminds me of Makiri."
Alex held a long knife with viciously serrated edges and a carefully curved tip. It was inscribed with ancient runes and was specifically used to penetrate demon hides. "Don't you ever compare me to him. he is a monster and a murderer. you were there when he killed my father in cold blood and you saw what it did to me and my mother. i am nothing like him. i kill to protect. why can't you see how horrible he is?"

"i see what he's done and i know it is bad, but don't mistake pity for blindness. he is all alone, and even when he has friends he pushes them away... i just want to help my father out..."
"don't waste your time! he neither wants nor deserves your help! now go out and get the poisons!!" She pointed her dagger towards the door. Liac looked at it.
"i won't let you kill them, and i absolutely will NOT help you poison them! how do you even know the poison exists? how do you know it will work?"
She smiled. "i've seen it used before...it works perfectly well on both high class demons and angels. Makiri won't even be able to expel it from his system with his shifting abilities."
"you've seen it used?!? it's never even been in human hands before! how could you possibly know how to use it if your kind hasn't even touched it?!?"
She frowned and looked out a nearby window. Snow covered everything. "i have my sources..."

Liac looked completely unconvinced. "if you have sources then get them to help you. i won't take any part in this.."
"they can't get it. i haven't been able to find them recently. i need you to do it. why won't you help me? it will get rid of three murderers! who else can do that?!? the police are worthless and any military force on this planet is no match for their power! why are you siding with them? i thought you were my guardian...."

"i am, and that means i can't have you go off and do stupid things like this on a whim. the reason i went to see them is to determine what they have been doing. Christan is in so much pain because of what he did...and Gabriel had some new angel to keep his homicidal tendencies at bay. even Makiri hasn't been killing as much. they are all doing much better! in time, they will all be able to live in a way that doesn't harm others. you just have to give them the chance! trust them!"
"trust? is that what you want me to do? trust?!? Makiri killed my father and Christan set Tom off! And don't think i don't know what Gabriel did...to him..." She started to cry. Liac put his fluffy tail on her lap and tried to comfort her.

"you have to learn to forgive them... they are all sorry for what they did..."
She sniffled. A shadow covered her face. "you can't tell me that Makiri is...."
Liac looked at her. "i know how it must have looked....but he did it for a different reason than you might think..."
"don't lie to me! i saw him kill my father! he was winning that battle on the rooftop! he could have just left and spared him,but no! he had to kill him! right in front of my eyes!"
Liac looked down. "he wasn't winning..."

"what? but i saw-"
"what you saw, was Makiri right after a close call with his enemies....he was so weak from just getting away..and then of course your father had to find him...don't you remember when you woke up?"
"yes....vaguely.....there was a giant scorch mark from the beam of the ship...."
"ship?" Liac chuckled sadly. "you've seen his ship... how could you describe it as anything more than a nightmare? what you saw wasn't Makiri's ship...it was one of his enemies'. Makiri and your father were both picked up by it...."
"so...he didn't kill him?"
"well....."
"well what?!?"

"well. they were both caught.... Makiri put up a fight..... and he was able to get away..."
"what happened to my father then?!? did Makiri kill him or not?!?"
"he did....he was able to ignite the ship before he left....he told me it was because he wanted to make them all suffer, but i think it was the only way he could get out.... they all died, but Makiri was able to slip away before anyone could stop him..."
Alex looked so sad and confused. She had thought he had killed her father out of his bloodlust... not by accident...
"do you see now? he won't admit it, but he didn't have any choice..."
"why? why didn't he tell me?"
"you would never have listened..." and he liked it when he caused pain, but now wasn't the time for that statement.
She was quiet for a long time. Liac was hoping this would make her see how blinded she was by her anger. When she looked up, she smiled sadly. "I think i understand now....."
"good...i'm going to go to bed. i need you to think about what we've talked about..." He jumped off the bed and went out of the room. Alex was still holding her knife, studying the inscriptions. "hmmm......" She put it in the drawer next to her and turned off the lights. She pulled the covers over her and closed her eyes. immediately, she snapped them open and put the knife under her pillow. For the rest of the night, she slept fitfully and kept her hand close to it in case she changed her mind about what Liac had said.
