Cassandra's Apartment – Next Morning
Cassandra feels the presence of another immortal and grabs her sword just before...
"Cassandra, its Duncan" she was grateful to hear his voice accompanied by his familiar knock on the door.
"Come in, Duncan" a second later the door opens as Cassandra puts the sword back to its normal place.
"Wow, I still can't believe how different this place is compared to the place where you lived when I first saw you. Do you remember?"
"Yes. I remember a boy trying to be brave in killing a wolf..."
"And we all know how that ended" Duncan said with a small laugh at the memory that was nearly 400 years old.
"So, what can I do for you Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod?"
"Meet with... Methos?" Duncan pleaded
In the time it took to say the three words all colour had drained from Cassandra's face. Duncan cringed at the tongue lashing that he knew was coming.
"Why would I want to meet up with that butchering bastard!" The volume to Duncan's ears was incredible, and it seemed close to the pitch of the scream that broke Rowland's hold over him at the cliff just before Rowland took his head.
Rubbing at his ears Duncan risked a second bout of the piercing scream. "He is in love with you"
"That immoral, deceptive, condescending, no good bastard wouldn't know love if it jumped up and bit him in the ass"
Duncan had had enough of being shot at as the messenger and decided to go with a verbal assault on Cassandra "And what about you? Do you remember me as a child coming upon you in the woods? The dark, evil and mysterious witch who killed sheep and cattle. At the moment my father described you to me, I wanted to come and kill you. Yet, upon seeing you, regardless of the fact that I couldn't kill you, I wouldn't have. You stunned me and I had to see the evil for myself. You showed me the good inside of you."
Cassandra was stunned into silence, her head dropping as she muttered "I guess I could hear him out"
Cassandra heard a quiet "I'll get him to call you" as Duncan walked out of the apartment and closed the door behind him.
