Immortal Beloved
Chapter Two
Revelations.
Adam snuck her out of the hospital as fast as he could and took her to the hotel room he had been staying out while in LA. Cordelia looked around. "Not bad I've lived in worse, a lot worse." She shuddered at the memory of her first apartment in LA, cockroach infested, dirty, sometimes running water. It was a nightmare.
"So what would you like to know?" He asked as he sat down and indicated for her to do the same.
"Ok I am not a vampire or a demon," she then added quietly. "No more than I was before anyway."
Adam turned to her looking at her suspiciously. "What did you say?" he asked.
"You tell me your secrets and I'll tell you mine." She said with a smirk.
"How do you know I have anymore?" he asked.
"Oh come on there is something everyone has something." She said laughing.
He smiled her laugh was infectious there was just something about her that he couldn't help but like.
"Maybe one day. Ok back to the serious stuff your life from now on is not going to be ummm normal." He watched worriedly how she would react to this and was surprised when she started to laugh.
"What my normal or everyone else's?" she asked him. "Just tell me already."
"Well you are immortal the only way you can die is for someone to take your head. You are now part of the game; there can be only one. Many immortals will now be after your head."
"Better than just my eyes I suppose." She mumbled Adam turned to her. "Sorry please carry on."
"You have to train with a sword and its best not to let people know you are immortal some can't deal with it." Adam said sadly
"Oh my god Angel I have to see him and let him know I am ok." She watched as Adam looked down. "Ok what is it?"
"Uhhh Dr Roberts told a Mr Angel that you had died and never woke up."
"He did what?" She screamed didn't they know what it would do to him, of course they didn't they had no idea he was a brooding vampire. "I have to let him know I can't let him think I am dead. I just can't"
"Maybe in 6 months you can go and see him once you are trained." Cordelia was about to argue when that pain pulsed stronger in her head. Adam picked up a sword and went to the door.
"Hey its me" said the voice from beyond it.
Cordelia watched interested in what was going on maybe she could pick up some clues.
"McLeod just the immortal I want to talk to" Adam said grinning.
McLeod entered and saw the young woman sitting on a chair.
"Cordelia Chase I would like you to meet a friend of mine Duncan McLeod. Duncan Cordelia needs someone to train her."
