"But the keys could be there!" Megan protested. She didn't like the idea of going to a diferent place than Alex's house. She was freezing cold, and her fingers were numb

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex quickly drove back to where he had found her, where the houses all matched each other. He sighed, parking. "Well... I'll go look for them then..." He muttered, opening the door.

[Kisiel]

"I'm coming too," Megan muttered as dhe attempted to open the door. It wouldn't move, so she gave up with a small frown, annoyed.

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex opened the door for her. "Are you sure? You look freezing and that injury isn't much help..." He said, leaning down. He smiled. "You don't have to, you can just stay here while I look..."

[Kisiel]

Megan frowned. "Well, since it's all my fault, then I'll go," she replied. "It's not that cold..."
But Alex was right; she was freezing, and her fingers turned purple.

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex looked dubious for a moment. He chewed his lip before nodding. "Do you know where you were?" He asked, pulling her out of his car.

[Kisiel]

No
"Yeah..." she replied. For a moment Meganblost her balance and grabbed Alex's arm to prevent herself from falling. "Sorry," she muttered.

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex smiled, a barely noticeable blush on his cheeks. "No, it's fine." He said, looking down at her. He led her over to the alley she was near and his senses were instantly attacked by the smell of rot. His eyes watered and he felt his stomach lurch.

[Kisiel]

"Are you alright?" Megan asked concerned as she saw The colour fading from Alex's face.
She wrinkled her nose as the strong odour hit her.

[Midnight Butterfly]

"Yeah..." Alex replied, starting to look for his keys. Every so often he'd glance in Megan's direction and smile softly before resuming his search. His eyes were searching for a glint of metal, finding a tin can or a metal bottle top. He sighed, pulling his hair back in irritation at the lack of results.
