Edward stood from the seat beside Faith's bed, after she had finally fallen asleep. He could sense Sam coming and wanted to finally introduce himself so that he didn't inadvertantly cause any trouble.
He slowly walked from the room and headed in the direction he could smell Sam coming from, hoping to meet him halfway.
Sam
Sam sniffed, feeling his nose freeze in the crisp night air. He'd just left Dean in a bar as he'd finally been distracted by an attractive woman.
He stepped up onto the curb as a semi went past, looking up as he sighted the motel down the street.
Edward
Edward head towards Sam as he saw him approaching.
He took an uneeded deep breath and tried to smile.
Sam
Sam was looking further down the street before he spotted the stranger. Noticing his odd smile he faked a smile back and went to walk past.
Edward
"Sam," Edward said, nodding at him.
"Could we talk a moment? I don't know if Faith has said much about me..."
Sam
A hand shot to the knife in Sam's belt as he turned to face the man that spoke.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
Edward
Edward held his hands up slightly.
"Edward," he replied evenly. "I understand she has mentioned my brother Jasper training her?"
Sam
Sam just turned side on, eyeing the other man coolly.
Edward
"I mean no harm," Edward assured him.
"My family and I are very fond of Faith. Uh... in a not wanting to kill her way."
Sam
"Then why has it taken until now for you to appoach me?" Sam squinted suspiciously.
Edward
"Up until now, there has been no need for us to meet," Edward said, shrugging slightly.
"I would come meet Faith, and take her back to my family's house for training. But now we are relocating to be closer to her while she is unwell. To make sure she is well protected when you and your brother are not around."
Sam
Sam's face flushed red at his first statement, and shook his head at the man's lack of emotional response.
"We're not going anywhere," he insisted.
Edward
"The end is coming," Edward said, looking Sam in the eye.
"I don't mean it in a rude way, but you and your brother are fighting your own battle. Faith was our greatest ally on our side, and many of our kind will be coming after her, after word gets out that she is sick. We will be here to watch over her. And Carlisle, my father, is a doctor. He wants to keep close."
Sam
"Look man, I'm sorry. But I'm not just gonna take the word of a stranger that I should leave my sick girlfriend and take off on a crusade. Especially if you say she's in more danger than we know her to be," Sam pointed out.
Edward
"I'm not saying you should leave, but I understand that you may have to be. I'm not trying to come in between you and Faith, believe me."
Edward gave a sad smile.
"But I care for her, and I wanted you to know that I would be here if you had to leave. That I would take care of her if need be."
Sam
"How do you... know her?" Sam frowned, confused.
Edward
"My sister, Alice," Edward started. "She met Faith one night, when Faith was patrolling."
He paused, aware of how crazy his next statement would be.
"Alice has visions of the future, if that future has definitely been decided. She saw Faith, with my family. Helping us. I met her, not long after Alice did, and we made a deal."
