17th November 2008
So. Here she was. In James's house after running away from her own place after the attack. She looked around. It was pretty similar to her own little place. Small, comfortable, just what you needed really.
Best of all though, she'd have James with her, and she knew she would be protected. James would make sure she was alright, he'd never let anything happen to her, of that she was pretty sure.
She let Snowy out of her cat cage and she began to roam around the new surroundings. It would seem that Snowy was just as impressed with the new surrounindings as Rebekah was herself.
Looking at him, she sighed gently, and smiled.
"Thank you for letting me stay here James" she said softly, looking into his wonderful eyes.

James got back to his little place above the shoe store with Bex. "Mi casa, e` ti casa" He said speaking the little Italian he knew. It said, "My house, is your house". James was hoping Bex knew that coz he didn't want to explain it.
He went to the fridge and grabbed a beer, "would you like a beer, or a wine? or just a drink?" He said pointing at the fridge.
As he pulled the chair out from under the table he heard it squeak against the wood flooring, "so o you want to talk about it?"

Rebekah smiled as James spoke in a language she could only assume was Italian. She wasn't certain of what he had said, but since they had gone from her house to his house, she had to assume it was something to do with the house, possibly along the lines of his home was her home. Which in a way was a nice thing for him to say.
"Thanks James" she said softly, still smiling at him. When he offered her a beer or any sort of drink, she thought about for a few moments and even though she wasn't really old enough for alcohol, come to think of it, neither of them were, she opted for a beer.
"I'll have a beer thanks James" she said smiling.
Did she want to talk about it? She wasn't sure. Did she? Always better to talk about things, she remembered her last foster parents say.
"Sure, I guess it might help to talk about it" she began, "Truth is, I'm terrified James, terrified they'll come again" she added, as she looked down at her feet for a few seconds.

James listened to Bex. It was getting late but he didn't mind, he would stay up with her till she fell asleep. "you think they will come back? Don't worry I wont let it happen." To emphasize what he meant he moved the earth around the door completely blocking it.
He flexed his fingers. "And if they get past that I wouldn't mind another crack at the one that got away." He didn't know if this was the right thing to say but it was true.
James was at ease. He didn't think anyone would get past him... He knew nobody would get into his house and harm Bex.
"So you think these are the same people who attacked you in Vegas?"

She did feel safe around James, she couldn't deny it. But she still had the fear. The fear should she ever go out alone, they would find her, and she'd be vulnerable once again. She should never have phased that one into the wall in Vegas, someone must have watched her do it.
"I do think they will come back, James what happens if you're not around?" she asked nervously, I mean it was bound to happen at some point she thought, right? He couldn't always be around to protect her, could he? Could he?
She didn't doubt that he would protect her best he could when he was around, but he wouldn't always be, would he? However, she did feel herself ease ever so slightly, when he shifted dirt around the door to block it.
She didn't flinch at all when she saw him flex his fingers and threaten to take them out if they came back. But she did give him a weak smile.
"Yeah, well I think they may be connected to the guy who attacked me in Vegas" she said slowly, although she felt safer being around James in his flat, she was still feeling decidedly uneasy about everything.

"I'll be here baby dint worry. I will never leave you alone if thats what you want." James tried to mean what he was saying but he could tell it was going to be a lie. He was going have to leave her alone some time.
"Look, I wont let anything happen to you, and them people in Vegas if they are really dumb enough to come after you three times, well then I will walk to their door and bring hell down on them." James was getting tired.
He took a swig of his beer.

Rebekah smiled at James, a soft smile, but a smile just the same when he said he wouldn't leave her if that's what she wanted. She wasn't stupid though, she knew he was only saying that to make her feel better, she knew he would have to leave her at some point. He couldn't be around her all the time, he had a life away from her.
"It's nice of you to say that, but I know you can't mean it, I mean, you can't be with me all the time James, maybe I just have to start taking some sort of self defense class or something" Rebekah said giving him a bigger smile.
Rebekah thought maybe she should try to get over it and drop the subject, she could tell James was getting tired, whether he was tired of her and the problems, or just tired because he was sleepy she didn't know.
"Okay, but I doubt they'll try to come back again" she said, after all, she had killed one of them in Vegas itself, and now James had killed another. Things weren't looking very good for the guys, they would be mad to come back again.

"So you think I can let my guard down?" He let the earth around the door drop. He start replacing the spot where the door block had been with other elements, like a wall of fire, a wall of water, then ice, then a strong wind that wouldn't let anyone past.
"So I think we need to talk about sleeping arrangements, you can have where ever you like. I can sleep on the couch if you like." James said standing up, ready to set up his bed for the night.

"You can let the guard down" Rebekah said a little more sure now she knew that just being in James's company not a lot would happen to her, because he wouldn't let it happen, of that she was pretty certain now.
She looked at James with a raised eyebrow when he mentioned sleeping arrangements. Hadn't they just spent the previous night at her home, well for want of a better expression, 'together', what difference did it make now they were at his home.
"Well, after last night, I would have thought, well you know, we'd share?" she asked a little timidly, "I mean, why should you be thrown out of your bed for me, but if you rather not, I'll take the couch" she said, stammering every so slightly.

"Oh yeah. I would prefer you sleep with me actually. I just didn't want to put you in a awkward position that is all." James said with a Sigh of relief, "So neither of us have to sleep on the couch."
James had a smile on his face, he took the final swig of his beer. "So what is it you would like to do Miss Taylor." James stood up and pecked her on the lips.
The night was theirs now.

Rebekah smiled sweetly when James agreed sleeping together was what he had wanted, just she couldn't be sure when he had asked to sleep on the couch. She had to admit it was sweet of him to think of it putting her in an awkward position.
"Well, I'm glad, I wouldn't feel as safe otherwise" Rebekah said smiling at him and then finished the beer James gave her and kissed him back when he kissed her.
"I'll do anything you would like to do Mr Adams" Rebekah said grinning, following his own line of speech. Watch television, watch movies, play games, play cards, anything he wanted to do, she'd be happy with she thought. She'd be happy so long as she was with James.
