"So let me get this straight, you ended up at Maryann's ten year's ago. I'm going to throw this one out there and say you were a virgin that shifted right in front of her? Probably went right in front of her little statue of fertility to I'm gonna bet. You just made yourself a f*cking sign back then and you didn't even realize it."
Sam ran his fingers through his hair, this was big. Bigger than he ever realised. And quite frankly he felt stupid and exposed, telling something to Derek he hadn't even been able to tell Brandy. Sam looked up at Derek, and his gun like movements made him feel anxious. "Your going to die tonight."
"What?!" Sam gave him a look that reflected his own disbelief. Derek was now crouched in front of him. "You and I, we are going to give Maryann what she wants. We are going to give her the god she wants. She is going to get that dagger through your heart and you will be sacrificed tonight."
Sam was shaking his head in disbelief. His eyes defiant and Derek stood back up to his full height. He looked down at Sam, this wasn't a man that was going to take no for an answer. "Brandy must not know till the very end. She will cause the distraction, and then you will take my blood and become Maryann's Dionysus. Do you understand what I'm saying Sam? Are you going to stop running away and being a coward - do you even have enough of a back bone to be a man?"
"What? I have to tell her. I can't leave her out of this..." then the realisation hit him like a sledgehammer to the chest. "I'll do whatever I have to do to be rid of that b*tch"
"Once Maryann realizes there is no god she will die. But, I don't want her to die. You must leave everything in my hands after you have your fist through her heart - you must not kill her. You must make her think her god is ravishing her and devouring her - you must bring her to the point that she thinks her god is real. Once you know - and you will know, that she completely thinks you are her god - - you let her go. And let me handle the rest. I will make sure you never see either of us again."
It was the craziest plan he'd ever heard. But, at least Derek had a plan. Sam wasn't overly keen on a lot of it. Particularly the leaving Maryann alive part. Sam stood up, his hands in his back pockets. Eyeing Derek nervously.
"How can I trust you not to leave me to die? You've made no secret about wanting me out the way. I need a reassurance that you mean every word you say, though why you want to keep that psycho b*tch alive is beyond me."

"How can I trust you not to leave me to die? You've made no secret about wanting me out the way. I need a reassurance that you mean every word you say, though why you want to keep that psycho b!tch alive is beyond me."
Derek smirked. A dark, looming smirk as Sam rose to his feet and looked right at him.
"You can't. For all you know, I could very well just be leaving you to die. And the beautiful part of it is, you are not going to know until the very end are you? I would love nothing more than to see your blood littered against the cold earth if only for my own sick amusement."
Place a seed of doubt in his mind, and it would make the performance all that more believable. Sam had to believe there was a possibility that he was going to die in order for Maryann to believe it. To give himself credit, Derek was one hell of an intelligent man.
"I will be here in 45 minutes on the nose to collect you. I am sure Brandy will be collected as well. I suggest, for your sake, you find a way to say your goodbye's without putting Brandy in risk. She WILL die if Maryann thinks for a moment any of us are planning on double-crossing her"
And if Sam chose to run? Well, Derek hoped Sam wouldn't be that stupid. He shot the shifter a glare before he made his turn to leave.
"And if you haven't trusted anything I have said tonight - trust this one thing. There is no where you can run to anymore. If you aren't prepared to give up your own life for her's, then why are you even with her? From what I ... smelled.. she was more than willing to give her life for yours."
There was nothing left to say. Derek wasn't sticking around to hear any more protests from Sam. There were much other important things to do - and that important thing was Maryann.

The look on Derek's face unnerved Sam. Made him begin to regret there very tenuous alliance. He had no choice but to trust the Vampire. What other choice did he have? He couldn't fight the Maenad anyother way.
"I will be here in 45 minutes on the nose to collect you. I am sure Brandy will be collected as well. I suggest, for your sake, you find a way to say your goodbye's without putting Brandy in risk. She WILL die if Maryann thinks for a moment any of us are planning on double-crossing her"
Sam nodded, a grim look of finality on his face. Now he had to pretend to Brandy that nothing was wrong, and they were staying there an extra night as planned. He hated to lie to her, but if it was between that or her being killed by a vengeful mad woman. He knew what path lay before him now.
"And if you haven't trusted anything I have said tonight - trust this one thing. There is no where you can run to anymore. If you aren't prepared to give up your own life for her's, then why are you even with her? From what I ... smelled.. she was more than willing to give her life for yours."
"I'd die for her a hundred times over, if it meant keeping her safe. You can trust on that."
And without so much as another word, Derek was gone. Now it was just time to wait it out. That was the hardest part of all.

How long had Brandy been sleeping for? She had even fell asleep in her dress which was less than unnerving to her. It felt like she slept for 12 hours at least, once the nightmares had ended her dreams were filled with various scenarios she couldn't remember.
Brandy sat up in bed, a bit surprised to see it empty. She was ready to jump into panic mode before she spotted her phone's flashing red light to signify a message. Oh, Sam had decided to pick up a few things and would be back right away. It was sent about 20 minutes ago.. Sam shouldn't of taken that long should he?
Brandy slid out of bed, not even bothering to wash her face as she headed toward the door in her bare feet. Without another thought she opened the door and peeked outside. It was night already, but at least she was well rested and pretty much ready for anything.
"Sam? Are you out here?"
Brandy knew all about Sam's keen sense of hearing, if he was close.. he would answer her. Or at least, come running around the corner.

"Sam? Are you out here?"
Shi*t! Brandy! Sam walked out from the back of the motel and up towards her, putting on an apologetic smile. "Hey, sorry. Didn't mean to worry you babe." he motioned with his hands. "Just checking round everything, making sure no-one had found us here yet."
He walked up to Brandy and gave her a warm hug. He hated, absolutely hated lying to her. Especially about something like this. He kissed her cheek. "You okay? Good sleep?" He put an arm around her waist and moved to get back inside the room.

"Hey, sorry. Didn't mean to worry you babe."
Brandy, quite literally, let out a sigh of relief when she saw Sam come around the corner.
"Just checking round everything, making sure no-one had found us here yet."
Brandy nodded, by his demeanor he didn't find anybody. That was a very good thing, and Brandy's eyes had followed him all the way until he made his way to her. His arms wrapped around her instantly and she was more than happy to return the embrace.
"You okay? Good sleep?"
He was leaning into her, his arm around her slender waist he coaxed her back into the motel room. Nothing seemed a miss, in fact, Sam seemed more relaxed than usual. Once they were in the room Brandy had made her way onto bed and sat down.
"I did.. I think I slept enough for both of us"

Sam followed Brandy onto the bed, sitting close to her. "I did.. I think I slept enough for both of us" Sam smiled, he was genuinely glad.
"Good, you earned that rest." he took the remote and started to flick through the channels aimlessly. "Manager said another night was fine. So we'll get more rest before we head back to Bon Temps."
Sam was nervous, and had to force himself from checking his watch. 45 minutes Derek said, there had to be about 35-40 minutes of solace with Brandy before it all went chaotic.

"Good, you earned that rest."
Brandy smiled warmly, and nodded. She was leaning against Sam's back in such a way that her head was resting on his shoulder while he flicked through the channels aimlessly.
"Manager said another night was fine. So we'll get more rest before we head back to Bon Temps."
"Alright, if that is what you want"
Brandy lightly kissed his cheek before she eased back and got comfortable against the bed. If he wanted to do nothing but watch television all night.. that would be just fine with her.

"Alright, if that is what you want"
Ouch. It likely wasn't designed with making Sam feel bad, but he couldn't help himself. Truth be told, he was afraid to be near her in anything too intimate. The thought of the Vampire Jack being able to sense her every emotion. He was uncomfortable with him knowing Brandy's most intimate feelings.
"It's for the best babe. Best to stay on our toes, we're safe now. But how long can we be safe here for?" Wasn't too much information, but it fit along well with there current dilemma.

"It's for the best babe. Best to stay on our toes, we're safe now. But how long can we be safe here for?"
"Uh.. right, of course..."
Brandy felt a sinking in her chest that she couldn't quite explain. Couldn't put a finger on it. She brought her knees up to her chest and found herself just looking at the back of Sam's head.
The air of uncertainty loomed around her, and she reached for Sam's shoulder but ended up pulling her hand back. Something wasn't right and she could feel it in him.
Was it because of Jack, or was it because of something else?
"Sam? Are you.. ?"
Brandy sighed and decided against it. Whatever was wrong with Sam, she was sure he would work it out on his own. She could say the next thing that came to her mind and it was barely a whisper when it mused past her full lips.
".. I love you."

Sam heard her say she loved him, he turned his head to look at her. She seemed a little down. His heart almost broke looking at her, "I love you too. Don't ever forget that." he brushed her hair from her face and stroked her cheek gently. "I'd die for you, if it came to that."
He took her hand lightly, and kissed the back of it softly. The scariest part of all was, he may have too sooner rather than later.
((OOC: I'll post with Eggs on the next post after you bring back Derek. Just couldn't think what to do with a mindless drone XD ))

Eggs impressed Derek. What a lethal weapon Eggs would of been if he had been a vampire. Hell would have been impressed with his darkness. Eggs had followed behind Derek in Maryann's convertible - Derek deciding to run up ahead to get some much needed tension out.
When they neared the motel, Derek had come to a sudden stop and Eggs would follow shortly behind.
"There it is. I want you to go in and grab the witch and bring her out here. Cover her mouth and use that duct tape again before you put her in the car. Sam will follow - I will grab him. Once we are in the clear, you take Brandy straight to Maryann."
Simple. Straight forward. Hopefully the dumb@ss would have no problem figuring it out. Derek crossed his arms, staring at the door for a moment.
This was really going to happen. Now or never. It was time for the game to be played.

Eggs heard the words of Derek and just as Maryann had told him before they left. He was to do exactly as the Vampire asked. So grabbing the roll of duct tape, Eggs headed over to the door and with a hard kick to the wood it buckled and fell open. Sh*tty f**king motel doors. Seeing Brandy in the bed, he swooped in and with one of his large arms had her wrapped tightly so she was unable to struggle too much, with the other he reached up and covered her mouth so she wasn't able to speak or cast any sort of spell on him. Hurrying her over to the car he dumped her onto the backseat and pulled open the duct tape and tore a piece off with his teeth. Sticking it over her mouth. Grabbing her by the hair he raised her up and wrapped his arms around her tightly, giving Derek a 'look I did it' grin. ------------------- The door opened with a hard kick Sam shot up as Eggs came bundling into the room and snatched Brandy from the bed. His eyes filled with dread and terror. "NO!" he yelled out as he tried to grab Brandy's feet, anything to get her out of his strong grasp. For a human. Benedict Talley was d*mn strong. He got up to make chase and spied Derek close by. He realised this was the plan, but he had to play along with it. He had to make it believable. He made his way over to the car to try to get Brandy from Eggs. Tears in his eyes. Tears of fear, guilt, shame. Sam was starting to regret making this deal with the devil.

"I love you too. Don't ever forget that.I'd die for you, if it came to that."
It wasn't five minutes later that the door busted open and Brandy's head shot toward the source. It was Eggs and she didn't even have time to think - she didn't have time to scream! He was on her so quickly with his massive hand over her mouth that she wasn't even able to squeak out a pitiful 'Sam'!
Sam tried to reach for Brandy's feet, but Eggs had her in his hold and she couldn't even move. She was like a weak kitten in his arms - completely frozen in terror as he lead her out of the motel and straight toward his car.
Until she saw him on the way toward the car. Until she saw DEREK. Her eyes were glaring at him in anger and a renewed strength came over her the moment Egg's plopped her into the back seat.
"What the F*ck?! DEREK??!!! What are yo -"
Brandy was furious, she couldn't get a word in before Eggs slipped the tape over her mouth and picked her up by her hair to 'show her off' to Derek.
It WAS Derek. She knew it! She couldn't believe he would do such a thing - did he hate her, did he hate Sam THAT much??! It was too late to ask questions now, all she could do was watch as Sam panicked and tried to get to the car to rescue her.
But it was too late, and Egg's peeled out of the parking lot. The last thing Brandy saw as they squealed out of the lot' was Derek reaching for Sam.
-----
Derek had advanced upon Sam, grabbing him by his arms and holding him back as Eggs drove out of the parking lot with Brandy. His dark eyes made sure to look directly at Brandy until the car was fully out of view.
"Let's go. Shift and keep up. When we get close enough, I will grab onto you again and take you to her."
That was all he said to Sam, he wasn't about to hold him all the way there and it would be too suspicious if Sam followed in his truck. He would grab him when the time was right, until then... plaidy was on his own.

Sam felt Dereks hands grab at his arms, to give the impression to Brandy he was being held back from saving her. He could only watch on in hopelessness as Eggs sped out of the motel lot with Brandy terrified in the back seat.
If this all went to plan, he'd be lucky if Brandy even spoke to him again let alone want to stay a couple. She could quite easily hate him for putting her through such trauma.
"Let's go. Shift and keep up. When we get close enough, I will grab onto you again and take you to her."
Derek's words shook him out of his deep thoughts. This was really going ahead. He was reluctant to trust Derek, but what it all boiled down to was having very little choice. Sam nodded and got his clothes off and in a pile at his feet before shifting into his collie dog form. He gave a bark and a whine to let Derek know he was ready to go.
