So, I'm here with another chapter already. The reason is that I have WAY TOO MUCH free time on my hands right now so I'm spending a lot of time writing this fic and improving my other one. So in the next day expect one or two more chapters... As I said WAY TOO MUCH free time. ENJOY
Chapter 5:
ONE MONTH AND A WEEK LATER
"Sam! You're alive." Astrid said, surprised.
"Yeah just bearly though." He said going over and hugging her.
"Great. That's...ahm...great." Astrid said awkwardly hugging him back.
A million thoughts raced through Astrid's head as she stood in his embrace. What would Caine say when he found out. Would he kill Sam? How would she tell Caine that Sam is still alive. How would she tell Sam about Caine? Why was Caine's embrace so much better then Sam's
"You alright?" Sam asked her.
"What yeah I'm fine. What about you? Where have you been the last month?" Astrid asked looking for an excuse to go running to Caine and tell him about Sam.
"Well I was in a coma until last week and I had to take it easy but I had to go and find you. So here I am." Sam explained quickly.
"I thought you were dead. I saw you. You were dead.' Astrid said, pushing him away.
"I was close to death. Extremely close to death. But Edililo got to me in time." Sam explained.
"I saw you! You were dead!" Astrid said, feeling tears begin to form in her eyes.
"Then how am I here Astrid?" Sam said softly.
"No Sam! You are dead! There was too much blood! You died!" Astrid shouted turning around and running off in the direction Caine had went only a half an hour ago.
She ignored Sam shouting after her. She didn't want to hear what he had to say. She wanted to be with Caine.
Caine had just emerged from the meeting with Albert and Quinn when he saw Astrid running towards him. He smiled briefly until he saw the look of horror on her face. She ran over and threw her arms around him.
"Hey, what's wrong?" He said hugging her.
"It's Sam. He's still alive. He's here." She said holding him tightly, not wanting to let go.
"What do you mean? My brother Sam. He is alive and he's here?" Caine said cursing his luck.
Of course his brother is still alive. Anything Caine wants his stupid brother gets! Power. Sam got, in town and the lake. Astrid. Sam got again. Sam could have even gotten Diana if he really wanted to.
"Yes Caine! My dead boyfriend is here and he is not dead!" She shouted pulling away from him.
"I could kill him." Caine said.
"No. You are not killing him. We can figure this out." Astrid said.
"Do you want to be with him?" Caine asked with a hint of jealously in his voice.
"I want to be with you Caine. Not Sam. Not anymore." She said, allowing Caine to pull her into another hug.
"Good. Then we'll figure this..."Caine began but was interrupted by another voice.
"Really Astrid! I know I wasn't the best boyfriend ever, but Caine! I 'die' and you running to my brother! The same brother who tried to kill me numerous times!" Sam shouted angry at Caine and Astrid not knowing which one to be more furious at.
And with that Sam stormed off. He needed to clear his head.
"Killing him is defiantly not an option?" Caine said as Astrid held him harder then before trying not to cry.
She didn't answer Caine.
