Sam mounted Dream quickly and turned him toward home. The guard didn't even stir. She smirked and kicked Dream into a gallop. They rode along the forest and stopped at the stables. Sam handed the stable hand Dream and began running toward the temple. Once she was in the main hall she stopped and caught her breath. When her breath was caught she went to her bedroom and quietly entered.
Sam frowned when she saw Chace sitting up and tapping his knee. He seemed nervous. She laid his bag at his feet and unbuckled the strap of her sword holster. Sam hung it up on its hook on the wall then she turned toward Chace again. Feel well enough for a shower? She asked. Sam put a hand to his forehead. She hadn't even thought to check for a temperature. She touched her forehead and sighed with relief. He had none. Thank goodness.

Sam was gone for quite a while. Chace's tapping was becoming much more agitated, and he was thinking about going to look for her, but then she appeared through the door, looking perfectly fine. He sighed with relief, and sat up straight now, smiling as he recognized the bag.
"Thank you, again." He said as she layed it on the ground. He nodded in answer to her question, body tensing again at her gentle touch. His heart raced again, and now he knew why.
He was falling - had fallen - for Sam. Every time she was near he grew nervous, but this only intensified when she wan't with him. Her touch sent a crazy feeling throughout his whole body, and her smile made his heart go into overload. His eyes widened slighlty. Before, he had liked her, and wanted her beside him. Now he couldn't imagine not having her there. He raised himself slowly to his feet, picking up the bag as he asked "Where is the bathroom?"

Jamila had become worried; Chace had been acting very strangely these past few weeks, and she was becoming seriously worried- particularly now that she had acknowledged that she was in love with him- not that she'd actually told him this. She decided to walk up to the temple, still looking for him, when she saw him and Sam conversing.
"Chace!" she exclaimed, running towards him and throwing her arms around his neck- completely forgetting Sam for the time being. "Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you!"

Chace was taken by surprise as Jamila launched herself on him. He flinched, and struggled to stay upright under the weight - not that she was heavy, but he was still weak. He managed to slide out from under her grasp. He looked up into her face. There was genuine concern, maybe even the hint of an old tear in her eye. His gaze moved to Sam, the back to Jamila. He knew he should tell her.
"I- erm," he began quietly, not quite meeting Jamila's gaze. How could he tell her that all this time he had been faking his feelings?? As he looked into her eyes, he chickened out. "I was on Punishment Hill. I did something stupid." He said, throwing a significant glance towards Sam. "Sorry."

Sam was just about to show Chace the way when someone burst into her bedroom. At first she thought it was the guard but thankfully it wasn't. It was, Jamila? She watched as Jamila ran over to Chace and wrapping her arms around his neck. Sam moved her arm out to tap Jamila on the shoulder to tell her that that wasn't such a good idea, but she thought against it and pulled her arm away.
She frowned slightly at the reaction of Chace when he took on Jamila's weight. Something he shouldn't be doing. Sam raised an eyebrow when Chace looked over at her and said sorry. Was it really directed to her? She wasn't sure. Maybe. Uh, Jamila. Lets be a bit more careful around Chace right now, Ok? He is a bit fragile from his Punishment Hill......experience. She said, feeling a bit awkward about talking to Jamila about the whole Punishment Hill thing.

Chase watched Sam as she spoke, nodding in thanks as she tried to help him out. Sam, despite getting him sent to Punishment Hill in the first place, had done all she could to help him out, and he was truly grateful. He turned to Jamila.
"Listen, I'm still a little woozy, but I'm gonna take a shower and I should be fine. I'll come to your house later, about 5ish. Meet me there?" His voice was still relatively weak, yet he tried hard to force strength into it both for Sam and Jamila's sake. He didn't want them to be too concerned about him, though in all honesty all he wanted to do was fall asleep and never wake up...

Jamila's eyes widened as she heard what Sam, and then Chace said. She quickly backed off, looking at Chace more clearly now and seeing that he was battered. "What happened, Chace?" she asked. She knew that Punishment Hill was no joke...
"Chace... I'll meet you there but please tell me what's going on," she pleaded with him, eyes still wide.

Chace looked Jamila deep in the eyes, stepping carefully towards her and placing his hands gently on her cheeks. "Listen, I promise I will explain to you later. Right now all I want is to get cleaned up, okay?" His voice was soft now, and almost soothing. With an early twinge of regret, he leaned in a briefly locked his lips onto hers, pulling away quickly yet still feeling Sam's piercing gaze on his back.

Sam bit her lip when she saw the look on Jamila's face. She put a hand to the back of her head and her eyes widened slightly. She turned away from the two and began walking over to the tray sitting on the bedside table. Love and couples were not her area of expertise, so she should probably stay out of the way. Sam picked up the tray and began walking to the door, when she reached it she turned around.
I'll be back in a sec, just going to return this tray. She said and smiled softly. Sam opened the door and hastily removed herself from the room when she saw Chace lip locked with Jamila. Something she didn't want to see. She walked down the hallway slowly, wanting to waste as much time as possible.

Jamila nodded slightly at Chace, not asking further. When his lips met with hers, she could feel an unfamiliar edge to the kiss. She did not know what to make of this. "I'll help you," she offered.

Chace watched Sam exit, seeing the slightly befuddled look on her face. He held back his frown and groan, and resisted the urge to kick himself. She had been so close... and he head let her slip away.... He composed himself and turned his attention back to Jamila.
Chace smiled softly, shaking his head lightly. "Honestly, I'm fine. I just want a little time alone. But promise you'll meet me later? I have something I need to tell you." His tone grew slightly more serious as he came to the end, and his eyes never left Jamila's.

Sam sighed and continued her walk to the kitchen. She just couldn't get the picture of Chace and Jamila kissing. She hadn't expected that when she turned around to tell them that she was leaving. It had really caught her by surprise. Sam pushed the swinging doors open and entered the kitchen. She smiled and waved to the cook. She placed the tray by the dish washer and went over to the cook. They chatted for a while and Sam decided that she had been out long enough. She said good bye and left the kitchen.
Sam let out a breath as she began walking down the hallway. Soon her door came into view and she watched how closer and closer it got every step she took.

Jamila nodded, "Of course," she said, then went over to a nearby rock and say down, waiting for Chace to leave...

Chace sighed as she left, and walked carefully towards the door, stopping as he saw Sam on the other side. His heart was racing, yet his face showed almost no emotion. "Hi again." He murmured, somewhat awkwardly.

Sam was just a few feet away when Jamila left her bedroom and exited the temple. She frowned slightly and reached for the door knob when the door opened. There stood Chace. She bit her lip. Hey, guess I should show you the bathroom. She said and chuckled nervously. Sam slid past Chace into the bed room. She walked across the room and opened a wooden door. On the inside showed a huge room. Practically everything was made of marble. To one side there was huge bath tub with jets and everything, it even had marbles steps leading up to him.
To one corner there was one of those standing up showers in closed by glass. Then of course on another wall was a counter with double sinks and a huge mirror over them.
