Odessa awoke and felt her heart flutter at the sight of the man laying next to her in bed. Andy was facing her, his eyes closed. A small smile played on his lips as he slept and she couldn’t help but reach out, her finger tips running smoothly over his mouth. He was perfect in that moment and Odessa knew in her heart that she didn’t regret anything from last night. The two of them being together in that way meant something to him, as it did her, and Odessa felt herself grow warm just thinking about the events from last night.

Quietly she got out of bed, shivering as her naked body was met with the chill air of the morning and she moved over to her dresser and pulled out a red bra and a pair of Kermit the Frog bikini underwear. She slipped them on, feeling slightly warmer and moved over to her closet. She didn’t know what they would do today, but Odessa pulled out a the Used tank top and then layering ontop of that a thin sweater that was practically see through. Skinny jeans went on next and then lastly Odessa sat at her vanity and pushed her hair behind her ears. She applied her makeup silently as Andy laid in her bed, still sound asleep. Grabbing a pair of ankle booties Odessa went to the side of the bed and rested a hand on Andy’s warm exposed shoulder.


“Babe…”She whispered softly as she saw him turn over and look up at her.

“Morning baby…”His voice was low and he rubbed at his eyes groggily.

“Stay in bed if you want to, but I just wanted to say good morning.” She reached down, placing a soft kiss to his lips before leaving the room.


Odessa walked down the stairs and entered the kitchen, noticing that thankfully someone had made coffee. She moved to the counter and made a cup for herself silently and then she glanced out the window over the sink and saw that her mother was outside shoveling off the walkway as it had snowed even more. Odessa sighed, knowing that she should be out there helping but first she wanted to catch up on some news. Walking into the living room Odessa saw that Moira was there on the couch, a small mug in her hands and looking up at her older sister devilishly.


“You guys finally did it last night didn’t you…”Odessa felt a blush creep up her neck as she moved to sit down beside her sister on the couch.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about…”Odessa denied it, knowing that if she admitted it to Moira that the younger girl would use it as ammunition later on.

“I can see it all over your face Dess. Plus you have a hickey on your neck.” Odessa felt her sister place a finger to her neck, right below her ear on the right side.

“Shut up Moira…”Odessa glared at her sister as she grabbed the remote and turned the channel to the news.


The two sisters sat there in silence, watching the television as Odessa heard footsteps on the stairs and looked up towards the doorway. Andy had finally gotten up and was dressed for the day in a pair of tight black pants, a black t-shirt with a dark blue woolen sweater covering his lanky frame. He smiled down at the two girls, his hands behind his back. Slowly he moved into the room, clearing his throat loudly.


“So I have late Christmas presents for both of you.” He raised an eyebrow as Odessa saw Moira look up at him excitedly.

“Moira…this is for you.” He held out a terribly wrapped package to Moira and she looked wide eyed as she accepted it.


The younger girl ripped open the paper and held out infront of her a black leather jacket. It had the BVB Army emblem on one sleeve and as Moira turned it around she cried out as she glanced at the back. “The Innocent” was written in big white letters and the BVB star took up the rest of the space on the back. Odessa looked up at Andy, not really sure what was going on.


“I talked it over with the band and they wanted you to have a jacket. I thought ‘The Innocent’ was a good name for you. We all have them. You are the only one besides us who will have a jacket like that Moirabear.” He smiled as the younger girl jumped up and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Am I missing something?” Odessa looked up and saw Andy look down at her.

“It’s a new idea we have going on for our next record. I’m The Prophet. Jinxx, The Mystic. CC is The Destroyer. Ashley took the name The Deviant and Jake is The Mourner. I wanted Moira to feel a part of that when the time comes.” He shrugged his shoulders as Moira finally let him go and sat back down.

“Now, for you my darling.” Andy smiled down at Odessa and held out a small black box.


Odessa reached out with shaking fingers as she noticed that the box was only big enough to fit a ring inside and she inhaled deeply as she untied the small light blue ribbon and removed the lid. Her heart caught in her throat as she gazed down at the small black and purple gem encrusted ring that was in the shape of the Tim Burton Batman symbol. Taking it out and holding it up to the light, Odessa smiled over at Andy, the tears in her eyes evident. She slipped the ring on to her right ring finger and was shocked that it was a perfect fit. She was speechless at his thoughtfulness and she stood quickly her arms coming to wrap tightly around his neck as she felt him chuckle into her hair. He rubbed her back softly, relieved that she seemed to really love her present.


“Oh Andy…it’s beautiful.” Odessa smiled up at him as he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

“So are you…” His eyes shined down at her as Odessa felt herself blush and they heard someone behind them clearing their throat softly.

“Are you guys FINALLY officially together?!” Moira shouted as she looked over at them, her eyes wide and expectant.

“Yeah…yeah I think we are.” Andy said as he looked back down at Odessa, his eyes questioning hers.

“Don’t worry your pretty little head sis…”Was all Odessa said as she took Andy’s hand and led him off towards the kitchen.

“Let’s go to that field you showed me. I’ll bet it’s beautiful in the snow.” He said to her as Odessa placed her cup in the sink and then looked over at him.

“First we need to stop by the garage.” She smiled at him as she moved to get their coats, handing his over as she pulled a black knit hat down over her ears and moved to open up the side door.


The couple walked hand in hand towards the garage and Andy stood out by the door as Odessa moved things around, finally calling out as she had found what she was looking for. She came walking back out of the garage, a dark bag in her hands and Andy laughed as he placed a hand on her shoulder, swiping away a cobweb that was stuck there. She turned to him then, her eyes bright and devious.


“Come with me Biersack…I have something to show you.” She said as she grabbed his hand and led him off towards the woods.


As the two of them walked hand in hand, Odessa couldn’t believe that it had been less than six months since her and Andy had met. She felt happy knowing that they had been able to stick things out for this long and it gave her hope that they could also make a romantic relationship work once he went back on the road in the spring. Their boots crunched as they walked through the snow together, Andy having to slow his pace down quite a bit so that Odessa could keep up. Finally after about a ten minute walk they came across the clearing that Odessa had been looking for.


“It’s so beautiful…”Andy said softly as he gazed out towards the clearing, seeing the pine trees covered in snow and off towards the left he noticed a large frozen pond that Odessa was currently walking towards.

“I know. This is another place my dad and I would come to when it got cold enough for the ice to freeze. Here.” She looked over at him, a smile playing on her lips as she handed him an old pair of ice skates.

“You know I used to play Hockey. I’ll bet I can skate circles around you…”He smirked down at her as he sat down on the fallen log she was currently resting on and he yanked the skates on.

“We’ll see Biersack…”She smirked over at him as she finished tying up her laces and headed over towards the ice.


Andy sat there and watched as her skates hit the ice and he squinted one eye closed, afraid to watch as he didn’t want to see her fall flat on her ass. As soon as she hit the ice Odessa felt a freedom hit her that she hadn’t been able to feel since her dad had passed. She saw that Andy was looking at her with one eye closed and she decided to give him a show. She skated around the pond, doing a few laps and then she made it to the middle and began to spin. Coming out of the spin she began to skate quicker, she jumped, twirling a few times in the air before she came back down, landing on one foot she noticed that Andy’s mouth was hanging open and he came skating towards her.


“What. Was. That?” He asked as he finally reached her, his arms coming out and taking her into a hug.

“I used to skate with my dad and Tara Lipinski was my all time favorite ice skater growing up.” She stuck her tongue out as they began to lazily skate in circles on the frozen pond.

“I just-wow-I never thought you knew how to do something like that.” He stuttered as he looked down at her, a small smirk playing on his lips.

“There’s a lot you don’t know about me.” She said as she winked at him and zoomed off, looking over her shoulder teasingly at him.


Andy rushed after her, his heart swelling with the love that he felt coursing through his veins. They skated like that for a time, before finally Andy had to stop and catch his breath. He skated over to the side of the pond and carefully walked over to take a seat on the log that they had been sitting on earlier. He lit a cigarette and inhaled, his teeth chattering in the cold as he looked towards the mountains in the distance. Virginia was absolutely beautiful and he smiled as he thought that maybe if things with Dess got really serious he could purchase property out here and they could come out for the fall and winter.


A sickening crack pierced the air and as Andy looked back towards the pond he felt his heart stop dead in his chest.
