Episode 2 No dancing with the monsters part I

Episode 2

No dancing with the monsters part I

Late at night as it rains heavily, in a region completely empty of people and living things, except for one person lying wounded on the ground. It’s Sam and he’s unable to move when someone steadily keeps approaching him under the heavy rains. they get closer and closer by the second till it reaches him and crouches down next by his side as he speaks to him...It’s Lucifer! Talking to a horrified Sam and saying.

Well, Sam, apparently it’s the end! I’ve got the stone of Zeus. Not only did I break free of my awful prison, but I also right now just have come to take what’s mine, my beloved vessel.

Sam

This ain’t happening!

Lucifer

So what are you gonna do then, ha? Once I put this precious piece of stone on your chest and mutter a bunch of words, you’re mine forever.

Sam

No....no....

Lucifer

I’m in no need for your saying “yes” this time, remember? In a few seconds, I’m taking my vessel.

Sam

No....get the hell away from me....Dean.....help me....somebody HELP!

Lucifer

Dean?! Dean can’t offer you much right now. Have you forgotten throwing him yourself to Juliet, the queen of purity? He’s rather incapable of helping himself. Let’s say he’s no longer a barrier between the two of us.

Sam

No....no....stay away from me.....noooooo....

Dean

Sam....Sammy, wake up.

Sam

Ha?!....where the hell am I?

Dean

Take this, drink some water. You’re dreaming again. Just calm down.

Sam inclines in his bed then takes the glass of water from Dean who’s sitting at the edge of the bed. He drinks a few sips and then says.

Was...was I screaming?

Dean

Yeah...loudly....this is been happening repeatedly lately. Is Lucifer that much scaring the hell out of you? 

Sam

What do you think? Once he gets the stone, everything is coming to an end!

Dean

It’s not gonna happen. And if he does, we’re gonna figure out a way to get it back.

Sam

Unfortunately, I don’t think so. What bewilders me is how simple you see the whole predicament we’re going through!

Dean

Come on, get up, we have work to do!

Sam

What?!

Dean

Have you forgotten? Last week was my turn. Today it’s yours.

A few hours later, in Frank’s house as he’s taking blood from Sam when the latter asks.

Haven’t you taken much?

Frank

We do need a lot of human blood for people who’re so much alive as well. So, stop complaining about it! Last week, Dean did everything exactly as I asked, so quit being a kid and be a man about it.

Sam

How many knives have you made?

Frank

Two. And this week I’m making another two of them.

Sam

Two, that’s all you’ve got?! All of that crap’s been for only two?

Frank stops to reply Sam while arranging the equipment around him.

It’s not as simple as you might think. It requires a great amount of whale blood mixed with another of a man to forge only one knife!

Sam

I wanna ask you something, about Dean.

Frank

Okay, go on, he’s outside anyway and won’t hear you.

Sam

Plenty of time already passed and till this moment we haven’t heard from the queen of purity! Where she could be?

Frank

She woke up. She’s available but most probably, doing shopping in Miami or spending some relaxation time on its beaches.

Sam

Can’t you just quit joking around and answer the damn question even for once?

Frank

She’s up. But since she still haven’t reached you, it means she can’t figure out who’s the one who took her mark yet.

Sam

Is that possible? I mean for her not to know who took the mark?

Frank

Yeah, it is. The question is for how long. Of course she’s searching right now and looking everywhere.

Sam

What if she’d already known our place? What if she’d met Dean somewhere around?

Frank

She hadn’t at least till now anyhow.

Sam

How can you tell? What if she’s so close to us all?

At that moment, Frank grabs a seat and sits by Sam’s side and with a low pitched voice he speaks to Sam, careful enough for Dean outside not to hear him.

Sam, look, Dean’s body’s supposed to react with the queen’s. If Juliet’s four meters away from Dean, then he’ll begin to feel her presence; he’ll get sick. And the closer she becomes, the more sick he’ll get because that’s how it works and since Dean’s fine, thus she’s nowhere around him as least till now.

Sam

Get sick? How much sick?

Frank

Sick to the point that will compel you to get him away from her forever. Someone really doesn’t wanna be only four meters away from her!        

At that moment, Dean enters the room and says.

What are you talking about?

Sam nervously

Nothing. Now, Frank, are you done?

Frank

Yeah, it’s good for now. Next week is gonna be Dean’s turn.

Dean

Do we really need all those knives?

Frank

You’ve teamed up with Crowley. And if Crowley’s army’s the one who’s gonna fight Lucifer’s then the answer’s yes, you’ll gonna need them all. But in the end even a some number of them would suffice if we were the only ones to use them.

Sam

We use them? No, your only role’s forging them, we don’t need you engaged in that war.

Dean

Thanks, Frank. We’ll call you later. Now, Sam, let’s go.

Sam and Dean get back home. They get surprised by seeing Crowley waiting there for them to arrive.

Sam

Were you waiting for us?

Crowley

Yes, something’s new I’ve to tell you about.

Dean

What do you have? Have you found the stone?

Crowley

Not really. But I got an invitation, haven’t you two got one?

Sam

Invitation for what?

Crowley

One from a man called “Brown” to attend a big ball he’s setting in his home. His invitation said “if you want the stone of Zeus, come to the ball tomorrow evening.”

Dean

Who the hell is that man? And why would he have such a stone?

Crowley

No clue. But what I realized is that he’d definitely invited other since he invited me too. But when I reached here before you two, I found this, an invitation for you as well.

Crowley’s holding another invitation in his hand. He hands it to Dean who takes it from him and reads it.

It’s for me and Sam. He’s inviting us to his ball. What if it’s a trap? That’s impossible, I mean how could a man possess such a stone and give it up that easily to anyone just because they want it?

Crowley

It’s not that easy. All kinds of monsters are gonna be there and so it’s not gonna be a picnic actually. Anyway, we shouldn’t refuse to go. What if he truly has the stone?

Sam

Fine, we’re going, better than Logan’s going and getting it himself.

On the day of the ball, at night, Sam, Dean and Crowley enter the luxurious place to attend it. The house is great, big and utterly luxurious. They get to the great lobby where a lot of tables are put everywhere each surrounded by a great number of guests. Upstairs, on the ceiling, bright lights are glowing. At the edges of the lobby, other tables are laid with all kinds of food and drinks.

Dean

Look, what a gorgeous place!

Sam

He must have invited all the damn monsters he ever knew!

Dean

But why to do something like this? What’s the catch?

Crowley

Nothing, he’s insane; a narcissist who kinda like to show off just for his ego.

Sam

Crowley

Can’t you tell where he’s keeping the stone?

Crowley

Of course, he’s taken precautions for us not to. But I’ll try. I’ll be right back.

Crowley leaves in attempt of finding the stone of Zeus when Sam looks to Dean and says.

So what’s now, Dean? Are we gonna just sit here and rely on Crowley?

Dean

What do you propose? To look ourselves? Take a look, man, at this glorious big lobby! All that food though! Hey look over there, beautiful girls too! When was the last time we attended a ball like this?

Sam

Yeah, you’re right, especially if you’re gonna eat some food you’re damn sure is prepared for monsters! Oh, yeah, and simply you’re just gonna ask some vampires to the dance stage too, awesome! Enjoy your time! Suit yourself!

Dean

What?....hell no.....I’ll look for the stone. You killed my mood!

Sam grinning

Wish you the best....I’ll search the opposite direction.......

Suddenly, Frank shows up standing in front of Sam in an elegant suit, holding a glass of a classy drink then he smirks at Sam and says.

So you’re in a good mood toady!

Sam astonished

Frank?? What are you doing here? Are you tailing us?

Frank sarcastically replies

Tailing you? Because you’re my wife or something?

Sam

Enough with your mockery....now answer why are you here.

Frank

I’m not after you. Have you forgotten that I’m the master of the marks? I’d been invited to this mansion since before you were born!

Sam

So you’re invited?!

Frank

Yes.

Sam

And what do you have to do with the stone of Zeus to make them that eager to invite you?  

Frank

The man invited me and that’s it! so are we gonna begin our search for the stone or should we spend the time on his personality analysis?

Sam

Okay, fine. We’re on it. Dean’s gone there. So, you, take that opposite direction.

Frank looks at the direction Dean headed to where the tables laid with all sorts of  elegant food and beautiful girls stand murmuring and laughing in gossips circles around them.

Went over there? Your cunning brother’s picked the side stuffed with girls! Are you that sure about his intentions searching your damn stone?

Sam

Don’t worry, he won’t approach any of them. I made sure to deal with his appetite for them!

Frank

Well then, I’ll go on a short survey. Should I find something, I’d be right back.

Frank goes on the mission of finding the stone whilst Sam glances around looking for a place to pick and start playing his part seeking the stone when Crowley appears in front of him and says.

Finally, I’ve got you alone.

Sam

Crowley? Why are you back? Aren’t you looking for the stone as well?

Crowley

Yeah, I am. But I wanna make a use of you being alone and ask you this.

Sam

Well I know what you wanna ask but I already told you, Crowley. Dean knows nothing now about what happened before. Frank wiped his memory.

Crowley

Yes, I know, you made it clear when you filled me in with the whole details so I understand everything except for this one, what exactly is Frank doing here?

Sam

Frank’s only here to help

Crowley

So right now he’s kind of an ultimate way for you to put your head on your pillow at night and get a nice deep sleep! This kinda lie doesn’t work on me, find yourself some other one to believe this nonsense! He’s threatening you whilst still staying in his garden of marks and gets his ass right here just to help! His presence is a threat itself and you know that’s true. And believe it or not, such a guy won’t risk exposing himself like that out of the goodness of his little heart without having some ulterior motives, some secret plans he’s keeping from you! So that’s why he’s threatening you to stay, am I wrong?

Sam

Just hold on a sec, what do you mean by his presence here’s a risk?

Crowley giggles as he replies

He’s the master of the marks! What would you think? That he’d just wander the whole world and simply feel safe! A short time ago, his garden was locked but now, it’s no longer this way and it’s stuffed with thousands of all kinds of marvelous marks, oh yeah, and he’s the master of them all too! Do you have any idea what sort of a life we lead and what war we engage in every some numerous couple of years about just a new weapon or two at least one? That man possesses a whole garden containing hundreds of thousands of weapons and he’s their only owner! He bleeds gold! He’s a nuclear bomb surfing the earth right now among us ready to nuke our whole existence with just a tiny little friction!

Sam

Frank....what an idiot? So what’s he doing right here? Why don’t he leave back to his garden then?

Frank

That’s a good question. Think about it’s answer. I’m on my way to look for the stone. And so should you because guests have already spread in the whole place just for the same purpose as you see and of course nothing good comes out of losing it to any of them!

Dean gets to some of the numerous corridors in the mansion and starts looking around on the paintings hanging on the walls, examining them with a thorough look when a grinning man approaches him and as he friendly laughs he speaks to him.

Dean Winchester?

Dean turns back to him replying his greeting with a smile

Yes, and you?

The man replies as he shakes hands with Dean

I’m Darkies. Nice to meet you.

Dean, still shaking hands, replies

Oh, welcome, are you a hunter too?

With a grin, Darkies replies

No.

Dean

Then how do you know me?

Darkies

I’m one of Logan’s deputies among his army.

Dean’s face changes and so does his tune then glares at the man with a scorn as he wonders.

What??

Darkies

Oh no.....don’t worry.....right here we’re not enemies yet....it’s a ball and people get to know each other in such events.

Dean

And is your master here?

Darkies dumbly asks

Which one? My direct master Logan or my greater master, Lucifer!

Dean

Are you always that dumb? Lucifer’s stuck in his cage, I’m referring to Logan, dumb-ass!

Darkies

Oh then yeah, Logan’s here. Don’t worry, the mansion’s owner also had his conditions. We’re only here for the stone and nothing else. We’re totally harmless!

Dean

Yeah of course, especially that you’re here right now for the greater good of the global peace, aren’t you?

Darkies with a stupid smirk

Anyway, it was nice to meet you.

Dean walks in the corridor talking to himself

Idiot!

At that moment, Sam reaches him and says as he smiles

Are you talking to yourself?

Dean

I’ve just run into one of Logan’s men, Sam!

Sam

Utterly predictable! Of course they should be the first to attend such event!

Dean

Such an idiot, pleased with his stupidity!

Sam

Found something?

Dean

It’s a damn tremendous mansion and everything here is creepy as hell! A lot of paintings stuck everywhere around! Giant libraries, it’s totally reasonable to suspect the stone to be behind any kinda secret door among them! Almost impossible to locate the stone in such a place!  

Sam

So what it’s gonna be then? Logan’s sure pretty much determined on finding it!

Dean

Our only option is tracking whoever is most suspected bent on finding the stone! And once they does, then it’s our turn to steal it from them before they escape our sight.

A short while later, Sam and Dean get back to the lobby after losing hope at finding the stone on their own. Dean keeps glancing the pretty girls dancing on the stage as the music keeps going and so he turns to Sam and utters.

Dancing’s begun. Are you that mush sure they’re all just a bunch of freaks and blood-sucking vampires? ‘cause believe it or not, it’s kinda depressing!

Sam

They’re all monsters!

Dean

So what’s wrong about having a dance with a monster just for once in like a lifetime?

Sam

This ain’t happening!

Dean proceeds with his eyes transfixed on a very beautiful, highly elegant lady   

At least take a look at that sexy chick over there! Oh my God, doesn’t seem that kinda monster to me! Can’t help but fall in love with her charm, man!

Sam

Where to?

Dean

Over there!

Sam astonished keeps looking at here. She looks pretty, classy and so much self-confident. It strikes him all at once that maybe she could be Juliet, the queen of purity herself! So he mumbles to himself anxiously and suspiciously

Well, she truly is....which is creepy too!

Dean

How exactly is this creepy?!

Sam highly worried

She....she’s so much more beautiful that it could naturally be possible!

At that moment, Frank shows up just in front of them and says.

Seems to me you’re really doing your best to find the stone! Are you anticipating finding it on the face of one of those pretty girls over there?

Dean

Frank? Why are you even here?

Frank

I’ve been invited too! Found something?

Sam

No, not yet! That man, Brown, could have lied! All we know about him is his being a man with that sort of a showing off, narcissistic personality with utter unworthiness of trust.

Frank

Nobody is trust worthy, Sam! They’re all just a bunch of liars and traitors!

Crowley approaches them as he shots Frank a glance then back he turns to Sam and Dean saying

What you’re doing?

Dean

Crowley?? Did you find something?

Crowley

No, I’m almost losing my mind!....no traces of the stone are to be found anywhere around!

Dean

Well, Crowley, this is our friend Frank. He’s working with us on forging the mystical knives for ganking the red-eyed demons. Oh yeah and Frank, this is Crowley, guess you already know him.

Frank

Yeah, I do.

At that moment, Logan approaches them accompanied with two of his men, smirks as he speaks to Crowley

Crowley, how are you doing?

Sam

Logan?

Logan

Exactly, Sam, the pleasure is mine by the way.

Crowley

Don’t be that much pleased; the ball’s just begun, still too early to tell what precisely is gonna happen!

Logan

Yeah, of course, we still have a long time for this competition to come to an end. Sam....if you please, may I talk to you in private?

Dean angrily glares at Logan and says.

Hell no, you wanna talk, you’re gonna have to do it right here, right now in front of all of us.

Logan

Didn’t ask you, I presume. I’m asking Sam!

At that moment, Dean gets more irritated and recklessly he rushes towards Logan in a blink, pushes him backwards and yells to his face.

Get the hell away from here!

Promptly, Crowley hurries to grab Dean backing him off Logan as he shouts to him.

What you’re doing? They’re gonna cast us out!

Sam grabs Dean saying

Dean, hold on!

Logan giggles as he says.

Come on, beat me!.....terms of this ball are so clear when it comes to prohibiting arguments of any kind, otherwise, you’re no longer welcomed among its guests! What do you think, Sam, coming aside for a brief chitchat or should I give your reckless impulsive brother more reasons to get even more pissed off?

Dean highly tempted tries to re-attack Logan when Sam and Frank restrains him tight.

You, bastard, I don’t give a crap about your terms! I’m killing you now!

Sam

Dean, calm down for Heaven’s sake!....well, I’m coming with you.

Dean

Sam, no....are you out of your freaking mind?!

Sam

Dean, it’s just a simple talk...don’t worry.

Dean

Sam, wait....get your hands off me, Frank!

Frank

No, I won’t. You’re getting us out of here if I do!

Dean

Well, I’m definitely calm now, let go of me!

Crowley

What are you afraid of? He can’t do anything to your brother!

Dean

This son of bitch is our enemy! What kind of a talk could they possibly have?

Sam and Logan stand somewhere else in the lobby apart from Dean when Sam proceeds.

What do you want?

Logan

Do you know that the stone of Zeus possesses several characteristics? Aside of setting Lucifer free of his prison or even letting him take your body, I mean?

Sam

Yeah, I heard of that. But actually never got the chance to exactly know them.

Logan

Take a glance around. Look thoroughly at everything in your vicinity!

Sam beginning to lose his temper mutters back.

What do you want, Logan?

Logan

Just look!

Sam

And here I am, looking!

Logan

This place is literally stuffed with all kinds of monsters all with one sole motive, finding the stone of Zeus. Of course, everyone has his own intentions so if it happens and the stone does fall at the hands of any of those folks around, things are not gonna end up so much well!

Sam

Yes, maybe!

Logan

None of them knew anything about that stone of Zeus before or ever sought it but when we and you began doing so, everyone seemed to be so eager to learn about it.

Sam

Get to the point, Logan.

Logan

I want your alliance. You and me. Once we, both, cease the tempt of finding the stone, all those freaky monsters will simply think it doesn’t exist. Only then will they stop looking for it and we’d just save ourselves the harassment of a new monster finding and using it against us!   

Sam

So you want us to be allies?! You and me?!

Logan

Damn right. Isn’t it much better than finding ourselves cornered in the predicament of finding anyone of those lunatics use the stone of Zeus against us?!

Sam

How could you possibly think that I’d be allying you? Your goal’s setting Lucifer free!    

Logan

Yes, of course, and what’s wrong with that? You foolishly think that he’s gonna tear the whole planet apart which makes you utterly delusional by the way! He’s just bent on taking Crowley’s throne and that’s it! He’s intending on being the boss of hell, he’s gonna set up his new rules and terms over there. Lucifer’s coming back from his cage but he is not gonna impose any kind of a threat against you, humans. Just work with us. Right now, we do share a mutual enemy which is Crowley, there’s no need for us to be enemies.

Sam

Nonsense! You’re not dealing with a naive little kid who’s gonna be fooled by your lies, Logan!

Logan

Sam, think about it. If you accepted my bargain right now and willingly said “yes” to Lucifer then....

Sam

This is getting even more ridiculous by the second! You can’t bust Lucifer out of his prison without the stone of Zeus which means that either way you’d be seeking it anyhow. You should have looked for some other more sensible lie to tell!

Logan

Not bad, anyhow it was worth the shot. Anyway, Sam, you should be scared of us from now on because you’re doing everything in our vicinity to deliver you to Lucifer on a silver platter at any cost, so better be on your guards!

Dean turns back to Dean, Frank and Crowley and stands by their side when Dean furiously speaks.

What that dick wanted from you?

Sam

He’s just an ass! A bunch of talks and threats nothing more!

At that moment, one of the workers in the place start speaking on microphone and they all turn to hear him via the speakers planted everywhere as he tells.

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you please, would you mind to take your seats, I beg your pardon? The ball performances start now. Thank you all.

Dean points to Sam and Frank for taking seats on a table he picked nearby and then says.

Take a seat!

Dean shots Crowley a glance while sitting on one of the seats and so Crowley asks him.

Why do you look at me like this?

Dean

Couldn’t you just have found yourself some other table?

Crowley

So what’s now? You don’t wanna sit with me! Aren’t we allies or what?

Once again the man with the microphone is his hand, speaks to all presence in the lobby.

Quietness, please. Now, it’s Mr. Brown the owner of the whole event’s turn to greet his guests.

All sitting around tables, while Crowley’s still on the same one with Sam and Dean.

Brown

Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you all rejoiced the ball. I guess I gave you all an adequate time to find the stone as you all wish but, seems like yet no one has fulfilled the deed and since none of you, my welcomed guests, have yet departed my ball so most probably it would be nice for all of you to get a brief musical break and enjoy yourself dancing on the stage for now.

Sam

We should keep a closer eye on the presence. Anybody might leave the lobby and begin looking again at anytime.

Crowley

And what’s the catch? Believe me, I already searched thoroughly the whole damn place!

Dean stands up leaving his seat when Sam wonders.

Where to, Dean?

Dean

I’ll be back in a few minutes. Going to the toilet that’s all.

Crowley sarcastically

Well, if you happens to find the stone over there, grab it with you!

A short while later, one of the girls starts singing on the stage meanwhile the majority of the presence still on their seats around tables having all kinds of drinks placed on them.

Crowley

Who the hell is that singer? Her voice’s terrible! Should he’d told me he needed one, I would have grabbed him “Mariana” with me from hell! Yeah, she’s been there for ten years but still she’s got a voice so much more better than that one!

Sam sarcastically

And why’s she even there, Crowley?

Crowley

She was a bad woman. Bad people always end up in hell, Sam. Happened to know one before?

Frank laughs as he replies

Wait, don’t you tell me you haven’t canceled your deal with Sam yet? Aren’t you guys allies now?

Crowley

Yes, we are. But I still haven’t yet; come on, it’s my only insurance against you and the insane brother of yours! 

Sam

Damn right, you’re gonna have to cling to it once we’ve turned to deal with you!

Crowley

Don’t be that sure. Once you’re done with Lucifer’s predicament, you’re gonna have the queen of purity issue to deal with!

Sam

Frank, do you have any idea how that queen of crap looks like?

Frank

Why for?

Sam worried

Because I’ve just seen some utterly beautiful and elegant chick in here, attending this ball. She didn’t look that normal to me either. She was uniquely exquisite, highly tall and profoundly classy as well, quite keen on being charming which doesn’t sound ordinary to me!

Frank

Maybe, she’s in here, Sam. Keep in mind that this ball is for all kinds of freaks and it’s already stuffed with many as I notice. But that doesn’t mean she already figured out that Dean’s the bearer of her mark yet!

Sam

So you’re telling that she possibly might be one of the quests right now?

Frank

Yeah, she might be. Despite the fact that I still don’t get it why she’d want the stone of Zeus anyhow?

Crowley

The stone of Zeus is so much valuable for anyone to be eager to get it. Anyway Sam, I think it’d be better for you if you followed Dean. Given the probability that she might be here anywhere around so your brother’s no longer safe in here.

Sam even more terrified.

Frank, so what’s it’s gonna be? What if she reached him?

Frank answers Sam who hurriedly jerks up from his seat still terrified and tensed.

She must stay at least four meters away from him, Sam. Are you gonna follow him?

Sam

Yeah, I’m finding him.

Frank

Don’t grab his attention to this. And keep in mind, even if it was Juliet we’re talking about and even if she’s really in here, she still hasn’t find out about Dean and his mark yet.

Crowley

Cut this crap, of course she does. Once she lays eyes on him, she’s gonna figure out her urge to get him.

Frank

Not necessarily.

Sam highly stressed comments back before he leaves for fetching Dean.

I’m on my way to find him and right after I’m getting him out of the whole place.

Frank stands up to tell Sam.

Get him out? From what the ball?....Sam, wait.

Frank angrily glares at Crowley.

See now what you’ve done?....I’ll follow him.

Frank follows Sam, then stops him in the way to tell.

You can’t just leave the ball right now! Maybe, you’re so close to finding the stone.

Sam

And we can’t stay either. If it is truly Juliet and if Crowley’s right, so she’s telling that Dean’s the owner of the mark once she glances him. And right after, she’ll be following our asses wherever we go, Frank.

Frank

And if you just leave right now, you’ll be forsaking the stone forever! Are you aware of that?

Sam

You and Crowley are still here. Carry on this mission, alright?

Frank

But Sam!

Sam doesn’t bother listen to anything more and quickly hurries to get to his brother.

Sam’s seeking Dean in one of the mansion corridors so he calls out his name.

Dean!....where are you?!

Dean approaches him and replies

Sam? What’s going on?

Sam

I was looking for you. Where have you been, the toilet ain’t this way!

Dean

Why would you anyway?

Sam

Let’s go. We must leave!

Dean

Hell, why? Have you found the stone?

Sam

No, I didn’t...it’s on Frank and Crowley now.

Dean

So why are we leaving now?

Sam

Just like this, no definite reason! Now, move...

Dean

Sam, really, man, what’s going on?

Sam

Look, we can’t just stay here, not any longer, would you trust me on this one and I’d tell you on our way home, okay?

Dean replies and then leaves Sam, heading back to the lobby.

I’m not leaving without the stone!

Sam

Dean....wait.....OH MY GOD!!

At that moment, just behind Sam, stands that beautiful lady who he’s seen before in the lobby and suspected her and right now she tells him.

Haven’t found the stone yet, ha?

Sam turns around to find the woman standing just at his back and highly self-confident he witnesses her glances at him so it shocks him but he tries his best not to show her that and acts normally and giving a gulp, he tries to mask whatever odd reaction he could unwillingly give and then asks her.

Talking to me, ma’am?

She replies

Of course, seems like the stone is very important to you! But why would you want to leave then?

Sam

None of your own concern.

The woman gets closer to Sam and comments back.

Still hasn’t mentioned your name yet!

But he wouldn’t reply. He turns his back on her and walks through the corridor but she simply follows so he turns again to her and says.

Don’t follow!

The woman

What’s wrong?

Sam

Just don’t. I’m not in the mood of acquainting anyone in here!

The woman

Too bad! Because I was just about to offer something that you may need.

Sam stops and turns to her once again more eager this time.

Would you mind being more specific?

The woman holds the sparkling stone in her hand telling as she points to it.

Like this one....for starters...

Sam

The stone??? It’s with you!!....hand it up....give it to me....

But the woman hides it away once again and then says.

But you can’t take it!....not unless I gave it to you myself!

Sam nervously

Well, why would you need it?!

The woman

I easily found it. It was that much simple to me given that I’m the oldest among all the presence in here. It wasn’t anyhow hard to do whatsoever. Actually, I saw it before several hundreds of years ago.

Sam

Are you....are you really?

The woman replies

Yes, I am....It’s Juliet...Former Queen of Purity!
