It took a few moments for the pounding to rouse Sam. She had been sound asleep, no dreaming just pure rest. Completely dead to the world. But the pounding became persistent, which quickly caused her to stir. She let out a groan as whoever was at the door knocked louder and faster and her gray eyes were bleary when they flickered open. She had to blink the sleep out of them several times before she was able to keep them open and she pushed herself up into a sitting before reaching around the table beside her to flick the light on. The sun would be up soon she noted as she glanced at the clock on the wall. Whoever it was either had an emergency or didn't care that it wasn't even dawn. "Yeah," she mumbled as she pushed herself to her feet. "Yeah alright!" she called out to the person still knocking.

There was a hiss and she turned to look at the cat perched on top of the couch. The teeth were bared and the back was arched, almost defensive. She hoped, for the first time, that she hadn't let a stray street cat into her home. Sam made a face at the cat. "What's gotten into you?" The pounding continued. "Yeah I'm COMING!" she yelled at the direction of the door, and started walking out of the living room and into the main hall. "Jeeze Louise," she muttered as she smoothed her dark red hair back from her face. She bet she was a sight to see. She had fallen asleep in her jeans, oversize green sweater, and black boots. At least she had taken a shower after coming home from work at four that evening. 

She opened the door and was, for a second, shocked into silence by what she saw. Three guys, dressed like something out of a King Arthur movie, all velvet and chainmail. Sam couldn't stop herself from smirking a bit as she leaned against the door frame. "Didn't know there was a renaissance fair in town," she commented, looking at the man in front of the other two. The Robin Hood of this band of Merry Men she supposed. Sometimes you got the crazies knocking on your door in the wee hours of the morning. But that's what happened when you lived in a big city. "Can I help you gentlemen with something?"
