Chapter 4-Found
Faryn walked through the open door, eyeing the stunned Sylar. "You look surprised." She said.
"I am." He answered honestly.
She set her purse down and turned again to look at him. For one brief moment he looked vulnerable and innocent. He looked like someone she might be able to feel safe with one day. He looked like how she imagined Gabriel used to be before life had happened to him. But just as soon as it had arrived it was gone, he seemed to collect himself and when his eyes met hers again he was Sylar.
He walked towards her languidly, his eyes never leaving hers. "I knew you would come." He smirked.
Faryn looked up at him, which was a chore considering how close he was to her. "We both know that is a lie. Hell, I'm still surprised I'm here."
"Why are you here Faryn? Not thirty minutes ago you were terrified of me. But here you are."
Faryn shook her head, "I was more afraid of the man you were in my dreams. The one trying to kill me."
"You think I'm any different from the man in your dreams?" Sylar asked looking away.
"I know you are." Faryn stated, placing a hand on his chest. "I know it is a crazy thing to say but I know you won't hurt me."
"What if you're wrong?" he said stilling refusing to look at her.
"Then I'm wrong." Faryn shrugged. "All I know is that this is where I am supposed to be right now; with you."
When he finally looked at her again he was smiling but she saw the guilt that was hidden behind his eyes.
"So, what do we do now?" she asked.
The next two days found Faryn and Sylar hunkered down in the hotel room. They talked incessantly, learning things about each other they could have never guessed. Faryn was beginning to realize that she wasn't completely crazy for coming to Sylar. Most of the time Faryn even began to forget that she was sitting next to an incredibly dangerous man who had killed at least one person and maybe more. But every so often Sylar's eyes would darken as he realized he had come too close to telling her something he didn't want to share. It was those times she remembered who she was dealing with.
Her third night at the hotel she was straightening up the small kitchen when Sylar appeared suddenly and wrapped his arms around her from behind.
"I thought we could expand on your brilliant idea from the other night." He said quietly.
"And what idea would that be?" she teased even as little warning lights were going off in her head.
"This one." He said as he placed a chaste kiss on her neck. "I'm finding I enjoy it much more than scaring you."
"I'm glad to hear it." Faryn laughed as she turned to face him so he could kiss her properly. She never received her kiss though, because at that precise moment the door was kicked in.
"Get on the floor!" she heard a male voice yell.
Sylar's entire body tensed. "Stay behind me!" he told her.
Sylar turned toward the intruder and Faryn was able to glimpse a tall man wearing a suit and horn rimmed glasses. He was holding a gun and pointing it at Sylar.
"Get away from the girl Sylar." He ordered.
"So you can have her? I don't think so." Sylar answered in a deadly voice that even frightened her.
With a sweep of his hand Sylar sent the man sailing across the room. The gun fell from his hands and clattered to the floor. Sylar made another gesture and Faryn expected the man to go flying again but he did not. Sylar growled in frustration when he saw a dark skinned man leaning against the door frame.
The man with the glasses charged Sylar, knocking him down to the floor. Faryn was thrown to the side in the chaos and landed hard on her left shoulder. She watched in horror as the man wrestled Sylar back to the floor and began hitting him.
"Stop!" Faryn pleaded but no one was listening to her. She felt something cool against her leg and looked down to see the man's' gun. She grabbed it and pointed it at him and before the man at the door could react she shot the man with the glasses in the leg.
He yelped in pain and Sylar was able to get out from under him. Faryn stood as Sylar ran over to her.
"Let's get out of here." He said holding his hand out towards her.
But Faryn still had the gun pointed at the man who was glaring up at her.
"You're making a big mistake. The man you're with is dangerous. He is going to hurt you." He told her calmly.
Faryn tilted her head as she looked at him, "You're the one who barged in and attacked us. I'd say you are pretty dangerous yourself." She took a step closer and refocused her aim, ready to take another shot. She was surprised when Sylar put his hand over hers and pushed the gun down.
"Look at me Faryn." He said.
She took her eyes off of the man, who she had begun to call HRG, and looked at Sylar.
"We need to leave, now, before his partner gets here with backup. Are you with me?" he asked.
Faryn looked one more time at HRG before nodding and throwing down the gun, "I'm with you."
HRG watched as Sylar pulled Faryn out the door and into the hall. With effort he sat up and pulled out his cell phone. He punched in a number and raised it to his ear. "He has her." was all he said before he snapped the phone shut.
