"It's not that simple, Jondy. Not anymore. Alec will hurt me if he has the chance. Right now, I don't plan on initiating anything. If anything, maybe we could work on peace or something," she replied quietly. It was pretty far stretch right now and Max knew it. Alec's girlfriend had made a meal out of Faith and Alec had sat back and watched. In turn, Faith had daggered the original vampire in hopes of keeping the prison safe. Tit for tat always and Max knew that Jondy and herself were merely just caught up in the constant crossfire between the two of them. To say it didn't piss Max off would be an absolute lie, but she refused to allow anyone to get hurt in the heated battle between Faith and Alec...not anymore.
"I don't want anyone hurt anymore, Jondy. Not when I can stop it. No one else has to die and if Alec hates me for it, then he can." Hopefully, with Rebekah back, he wouldn't hurt anyone else, but she knew it wouldn't try to stop the blond vampire either if she decided to attempt revenge on Faith and the prison. Max was only hoping to avoid a blood bath, but in doing so, she knew she'd probably lose Alec forever. It wouldn't be the first time she'd lost someone she loved to the darkness; it wasn't the first time she might have take their life either. She didn't want to. She would do anything to not have to kill him like she did Ben. Because while she'd never admit it, she'd cared for Alec a lot more than he'd ever know. Being on opposite sides from him, it was hard. Besides that, just like Jondy, she considered them family.
"I wish I didn't have to choose sides. I hate all the complicated shit too," she agreed quietly. "But I can't let people get hurt, Jondy and I definitely don't want you getting hurt either." Yes, Jondy could handle herself as well as Max could, but that didn't mean for a second that she didn't worry about her sister. Somehow, perhaps foolishly, she was praying to get them all out of it alive. "I want more than anything-" Max broke off and grabbed her sister's hand. "Maybe we can bring them together. Trust me, I don't want to hurt him, Jondy. I want us to survive this. Together. Hell God bitch included."
