The night went on without many incidents, the film was watched, everyone ate the pizza and there was not even so much as a crumb remaining.
It was going on midnight when Sam said that she was going to have to call a cab to take her home, but Adam offered to take her as he was heading to his hotel anyway.
Sam agreed and they soon said their good nights to the rest of the group and headed off to Adam's rental car in silence. Getting in to the car Sam put her seatbelt on and waited for Adam to get in and do the same.
As they were pulling out of Daniels street Sam couldn't hold the question that she'd wanted to ask all night "Adam… why didn't you tell me that you were a friend of Daniel's?… we were talking about him in Paris and you never mentioned that you know him."
Adam couldn't help but laugh, he'd know that she'd had been dying to ask that question all night. He also was very impressed that she had waited as long as she had to ask.
"I didn't tell you as you seemed to be uncomfortable talking about him… that and once I found out that you know him I thought it a great idea to get back in touch with him and at the same time get the chance to meet up with you again."
"Oh… I thought that you were just being polite talking to me in Paris… I didn't realise that you were actually going to get back in touch" Sam sheepishly looked out of the car window not wanting to show Adam how embarrassed she was.
"No… I was seriously going to try and keep in touch with you… I could tell even from that small amount of time we spent talking, that I liked you." Adam found his heart was hammering away inside his chest waiting for her to admit that she felt the same way.
"Oh… well I really don't know what to say… Adam I've got the same feeling… but I really don't think it would work… I've done the whole long distance relationship thing before and they don't work." Sam refused to look at Adam afraid of his reaction.
"Who said anything about long distance" Adam smiled when Sam's head snapped around that fast that he thought it was going to come off her shoulders for a minute.
"What are you saying?"
"Believe it or not… I have a house about thirty minutes drive from Colorado Springs… it's just, I haven't used it in… oh a very long time…. It wouldn't take that much effort to move out here, as like I told you in Paris I don't have a job to worry about… it would just a case of packing a few things. Close up my house in Paris for a while or let Duncan move in like he's been wanting to for a while."
"You're serious about this… but why? We talked for all of twenty minutes in Paris and had a night with friends tonight… How can you offer to up and move on just that?" Sam didn't know what to think.
"Because… I like you… and believe me it usually takes a lot for me to trust someone… but… oh I don't know, I haven't felt the way I do around you in a long time and I don't want to miss an opportunity."
The car slowed and Sam noticed that they were parked outside her house. She had completely lost track of time while they had been talking.
Getting out the car she noticed that Adam was also getting out the other side. She stopped by the car and waited for Adam to come around to her not really knowing what to expect.
Taking her hand in his he looked in to her eyes seeing a mixture of things hiding with in them. "Sam… please I really like you… I'm not going to pressure you into anything… I just want to let you know how I feel… I've already arranged to move my things from Paris next week but… all you have to say is go away and I'll go."
"I…" Sam's eyes started to full with tears as her sleep fogged brain refused to help her out her. "I don't know what to say."
"Don't say anything yet then… think about it, like I said there's no pressure," with that Adam leaned in and pressed his lips against Sam's.
The moment that their lips met there was a flash of brilliant white light and Sam found herself in what looked like an abandoned factory. Looking around she only saw one person, Adam leaning against a wall looking like he was trying to catch his breath.
She walked slowly up to him but stopped about a meter from him, "Adam… what's going on?"
There was no reply even though her voice was louder then she had intended, as it seemed to bounce off the floor and walls. She tried again and again but there still was no reply. Stepping forward she reached out to put her hand on his arm to get his attention, but found that her hand passed straight through him.
Sam at this point was starting to get slightly scared and that fear presented itself in a shout. "Will someone tell what the hell is going on?…"
Just then Adam straightened his posture and his head snapped towards the door. When Sam looked at the place that Adam was looking she saw a well-built male standing in the door with what look like a sword in his left hand.
Adam stepped away from the wall and slightly towards the other man, the man mimicked Adam and moved further into the room.
"We don't have to do this" Adam was now standing about 2 meters away from the other man, his posture now defensive.
"Yes we do… I've challenged you, now accept it or I'll take your head anyway."
Sighing loudly Adam pulled out a sword that had been hidden inside his coat, Sam found herself gasping at the realisation of what was about to happen right in front of her eyes.
"No… no you can't do this" Sam screamed as she started towards the two men but soon stopped in her tracks when the stranger made his first move, attacking Adam.
Adam easily blocked the attack and anything after that was a blur to Sam as they were moving so quickly.
It seemed to be over before Sam actually realised it. There was a quick and unexpected move by Adam and his opponent was quickly decapitated.
Sam looked on with shock as Adam was engulfed in what looked like blue lightning, then he collapsed to his knees trying to catch his breath.
There was another flash of brilliant white light and Sam found herself kissing Adam once again.
Before she realised what she was actually doing Sam was pulling away from him and had fallen backwards on to the pavement. Tears started falling down her face, the image of Adam decapitating someone replaying itself over and over again in her head.
Adam not knowing what had happened quickly knelt down at her side.
"Sam… are you ok?… what's the matter?"
When Adam met her eyes he saw nothing but fear in her eyes, which at the same time scared him as the last time he'd seen that much fear in someone's eyes was back when he was one of the four horsemen.
Trying to calm herself and stop the tears she once again moved away from Adam not knowing what to think.
'Was it real?… it looked so real… would Adam really kill someone in that horrible way?' were just some of the thoughts that were running through her mind.
"Sam please tell me what happened" Adam begged moving away from her, not wanting to upset her anymore then she already was.
"You… sword..." Sam found herself saying before she could stop the words from spewing from her mouth.
Adam looked on in shock not knowing what to say, 'how could she know?' were the only thing that came to mind. Sam seeing the look on his face realised that he knew what she was talking about and once again moved further away from him.
"It's true… isn't it… you killed him" Adam looked up as Sam was once again moving further away from him and couldn't think of anything to say so he just sighed and sat down on the cold pavement.
"How?… Wait a minute, killed who?" Adam looked over at Sam and some of the fear seemed to leave her eyes as she saw the confusion on his face.
Sam told him the story of what happened when he kissed her and as she was telling it realisation hit Adam and a small smile appeared on his face.
"What you smiling at" Sam was puzzled at what he was smiling about after hearing the story of him cutting someone's head off.
"I think I know what happened… that's why I'm smiling… why don't we go inside?… I'll try and explain it to you…" Adam held a hand out to Sam and was glad that she seemed to have lost some of her fear of him and took his hand.
They both got up from the floor and then silently made their way to the front door of Sam's house so that Adam could explain to Sam what he thought had happened to her.
