Florida: Take 2

Hannah: Hey Juls! Man, it's great to see you.
Dean: *Mumbles* Yeah, I care... thanks for noticing. *stalks out of the concert hall, towards the stripper place*

Julia: Heya hannah. *watches dean leave* again ror. I"m sorry...Dean called me saying you were in the hospital and you werent when i got here. So I thought you'd be here but I wasn't sure.....and I needed a ride and dean was my only choice. God......what an idiot I am. *rubs her hands over her face, feeling the tug of some jet lag* Oh my god! I totally forgot about Lucain and Evaline.

Rory: *Nods* God my life keeps getting worse and worse. *walks out the door*
Dean: *Gets a beer at the bar, taking a swig*
Rory: *Sees Dean from the stairs as she enters the elevator, pressing number 4* I just need to go home.

Lucian: *hears the rumble of the elevator and waits by room 401*

Julia: *in the lounge; catchs up with evaline.* where's lucian?

Rory: *Walks towards her door and goes to a sudden hault, fear taking her over* It can't be...

Lucian: *mixed emotions* Hello Rory. Long time.

Rory: *Takes a step back* What're you doing here?

Lucian: *swallows eyes becoming the predatory black. He tries to control his anger and the love he once felt long ago* I came here to see you. I still love you.

Rory: *Blinks* You can't... *Shakes head, taking another step away*

Lucian: *growls the old hurt rising.* Why? Can you tell me that?

Rory: *Blinks* Lucian... I- I can't love you... I... I can't.

Lucain: *curls his lip in anger* Is can't the only thing you can say?

Rory: *Takes another step back, her butt touching the cold metal of the elevator* Don't... *Eyes tear up* You don't understand

Sam: *Opens his eyes, finding himself in the back of the Impala. He and Dean had gone to pick up Rory's friend. He climbs out of the car, his head immediately hurting him as he sinks to his knees in a vision. He sees a man's arm fly across Rory's face as she cries for forgiveness. He stood up, and ran into the warehouse*

Lucian: *in a flash he's in front of her...both her arms in his hands. He squeezes her arms, bruising them. He growls, fangs bared* Make me understand the hell you put me through.

Rory: I don't want to hurt you. *Cries*
Sam: *Jogs towards the elevators, pressing for the fourth floor over and over again* C'mon... *He is finally up there, the doors ding open* Let her go.

Lucian: *glares at sam, but lets rory go.* Stay out of this. You have no right to intrude on our conversation. *punches sam under the jaw sending him to the floor*

Rory: Sam!
Sam: *Hops back up to his feet, tripping Lucian* Yeah, I do. She doesn't want to talk to you. You're making her uncomfortable and that's very clear to see. Why can't you let her be?

Lucain: *Kicks Sam in the knee and stands up.* I can't let her be until she can explain why she's done what she's done to me. *punches sam's jaw and grabs his throat and squeezes*

Rory: You need me to love. *Raises eyebrows, drying her tears* Put Sam down and we'll talk... or I'll make you put him down. I haven't used my powers in a long time, I'd be glad to use them again.

Lucian: *considers ending Sam's life but gives one last squeeze before releasing a gasping Sam to the floor. He feels the faint hint of guilt trying to overwhelm him and he shudders. A muscles jumps in his jaw as he remembers how Rory was the only one who was able to control him. So far.* I let him go. Now lets talk...*guilt trickles into his voice and he clenchs his teeth*

Rory: I can't love you, because Evaline loves you. I know you love me... but the threats I received. *Shakes her head, putting her arms around him. She breathes him in* I had to stop. I loved you. I did... Oh god, I loved you so much. I just wanted to be with you. To be the one in your arms. But I can't. *Pushes away from him* Because of her. And now I'm over you. I'm over what I thought we could have. And I'm with someone else now... I'm in love with him. A brown-haired and hazel- eyed beauty who came to my rescue tonight, before you hurt me... like I knew you would... *Purses lips* I'm sorry.

Lucian: *swallows, eyes returning to normal.* Evaline? I'm......I"m sorry. i never knew. did she hurt you? *goes to caress rory's cheeck but deiceids against it and lets his arm drop* I'm sorry. *takes a few steps back* thank you......*leaves*

Rory: *Buries her head in Sam's chest*
Sam: *Puts his arms around Rory* You're in love?
Rory: With you... But... We can't be together, I know that.
Sam: I'm glad you know that.
Rory: I'm not. *Nuzzles her head deeper into his chest* Thanks.
Sam: For what?
Rory: For coming.

Tay: *laughs into the phone* Hi, Alexis. This is the girl who your husband just paid 350 dollars to have sex with. I threw his naked ass out before he could get anything. *laughs again* I guess your husband's downfall is his extreme greed for sex, huh? No wonder you needed Rory's money, so he could pay to get sex from someone who really knows how to do it. Good thing that 350 dollars is back to its rightful owner, huh? Have a nice day. *hangs up* Alright, I'm done with- *trails off, realizing she's alone* Phone. *looks at the phone* Um... so I guess you didn't want your phone back, huh? *shrugs and puts it on a table, then heads outside* Okay. Wow. This is like... Twilight Zone-ish. *scratches her head* You're on the phone and then poof, everyone leaves. That's not creepy at all. *sighs starts walking, not sure which side of town she was on, or where she was going, but hoping she could find her hotel again*

Rory: *Picks up her cell phone and calls Tay, leaving a message on her cell* Girl, hey, I'm having Hannah pick you up. Stay where you are.
