Room 217, Wednesday Night

[walks_two_paths]

As promised, Savannah had ordered Chinese food and was settled in for a long night of talking. She had told Johnny she would talk to him and tell him everything.

So, she had changed into a comfortable pair of sweats and a t-shirt, and was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

"It reminded me of you when I looked up what it meant... so I kept it in case I ever..." She looked down. "In case you managed to get me home again."

He reached out to hold her hand. "You are home and if you want to talk to me about it all, I'm here. If you don't, I'm cool with that too."


[I've got to crash. SP is our friend :D]

Savannah squeezed his hand and then looked into his face. "No... I need to and I want to... and I promised you..."



[Me, too! :)]

"I want to hear it, I'll admit, but I just don't want you thinking I'm so hard-nosed about it, okay?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah smiled and nodded. "I know, sweetheart. However, I don't want there to be any secrets or wondering, okay?" She touched his lips with her fingertips. "You're human and you love me... and you know I've been away for..." she swallowed. "Months. It's only natural to want to know what the girl you loved did during that time."

He kissed her fingers when she pressed them to his lips. "I know... I can't help but be curious. It was a long time for you." He shrugged. "No secrets."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"No secrets," she agreed. "So, where should I start?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"The beginning," he said, giving her a soft smile.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Okay, that means telling you why I went to the preserve and how all of this happened," she said with a slightly embarrassed look. "I found a spell that I could do in one of my books. It allows me to sense people or energy signatures when I cast it. But, there was a component I needed that I didn't have here -- a plant. I knew I had seen it in the preserve... "

Johnny was quiet, listening as she spoke to him. Although he wanted to know why she asked Wyatt to accompany here instead of him. Yeah, yeah, the whole orbing thing, but Johnny was a torch for crying out loud!

But... he remained passively silent, allowing her to go on...

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She started picking at the blanket. "I asked Wyatt to take me because I figured he could just orb me there and back and there would be no attack. I know my temper and was worried that if I asked you to take me that if one of them moved against you I would break my promise to you and attack it..." She swallowed. "We got there and there was a statue waiting for us. We needed that plant so I could try to help find the other lost ones... and he must have had an idea what I was there for. When he rose up over me..." She shuddered a bit, remembering how it had looked at her and those claws and teeth... "I tried to distract it with a new spell I learned so we could get away, but..." She looked at his face. "It was one of the higher, darker spells, and since I had just learned it, I didn't have enough power or energy behind it and I went down all woozy..."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He nodded at that first part, cause yeah, okay, he could understand that better.

"Didn't you think before hand? What could happen, Savannah, if you came in contact with one of those? You were relying on a spell that you recently learned to protect you... what were you thinkin?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She couldn't look at him.

"I thought we could orb in and out without being caught," she said in a whisper. "I didn't know they it could move so fast." She shook her head. "I wasn't ... I mean ... it scared me and I just wanted to get away. It's an impressive spell ... well, now it is ... and I thought I could confuse it so Wyatt could grab me and get us out of there..." She bit her lip and closed her eyes. "But it moved so damn fast ... so god damned fast ... and the next thing I knew was that Wyatt was checking to make sure I was okay and there were pyramids."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny was frowning. "I'm not going to tell you again what I thought of that, because you already know. So," he said, leaning slightly forward to moved his hand down her calve. "What happened after you saw the pyramids?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"I know... and have I mentioned how sorry I am?" She sighed. "Well, first, Wyatt tried to orb us home... only it didn't work. We reappeared right where we were." She chewed on her bottom lip. "So, we made our way to civilization... where we met that guy, Rick. He believed us when we told him what had happened... and gave us money to get clothes to fit in and a place to stay."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"I know, sweetheart," he whispered. "Rick must have been some kind of generous guy."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"He said he had seen enough weird things since meeting his wife that he had to believe us -- especially since he had talked to two other people that had the same crazy story about evil statues throwing them back in time." She chewed her lip. "We... uhm... we may have worked with Rick a few times with some of his problems that rose up in the tombs he was watching over."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny cocked his head, staring at her, listening, remaining quiet so she could continue.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah looked at him. "There were monsters..." She said, chewing on her lip again. "Some human... some not quite as human. Demons... evil dead mummy things... and tomb robbers, too."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

All right, this had Johnny sitting up fully. "The hell, Savannah?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"I didn't get hurt..." Much. "... and it's not like I just couldn't do nothing to help the man that helped us when we landed there." She gave him a shaky smile. "And I got much better at my force bolts spell." Yeah... the one that had rendered her helpless to the angels. That one.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He ran his hands down over his face and inhaled deeply. "Okay... okay... go on." He should kill Wyatt for not watching out for her better.
