Andy rushed down the sidewalk, his mind racing right along with his feet as he came up to the store front finally. He peered in the windows, his heart in his stomach as he looked at the damage. The place looked destroyed-displays were knocked over, there was glass all over the floor and he could see CC, but Lily was nowhere in site. Fuck. Was she hurt? Was she laying on the floor in a pool of her own blood? Where was the Demon? All of these questions ran through his head as Andy pushed open the front door, Jake hot on his heels as the two of them entered the store and Andy moved to lock the door behind him. CC looked more than relieved to see the two of them and Andy was even more relieved to see that Lily was okay. Scared looking as she crouched near the floor, but she seemed intact.


“Leave us.” Andy said simply to the other two guys in the room, but his eyes never left Lily’s. Her lavender orbs held a look of fear in them, but he could see that behind that fear there was a sense of pride.

“No.” A voice rang out and Andy finally turned from Lily to face his two bandmates. CC was standing there, his arms crossed over his chest and his face was stern. Jake was beside the drummer, leaning up against the counter as his wide eyes took everything in.

“C-I’m not asking.”Andy said as he moved towards Lily and then his eyes came across the Demon that sat on the floor, her head bent slightly as she held a hand up to her obviously broken nose.

“I don’t give a shit. Some funky shit has been going on here lately and I think you and Lily owe us an explanation-the truth.” The drummer spat as he pulled something out of his pocket and Andy watched as the piece of paper was shoved under his nose. Obituary? What the fuck was that and why was it so important in this moment?

“Fine, but we have to tie the girl up first.” Andy said, his voice gruff as the other two guys only stared at him. Suddenly there was a knock on the front door and they all turned-Ashley was standing there, his chest heaving like he had run a marathon.


CC moved to let the tired looking bassist in while Andy motioned for Jake to help him. They each grabbed the cowering girl under her arms and dragged her towards the back of the store. Lily trailed behind, her tiny fingers shaking as she looked down at the paper in her hands. Shit. Fuck. Her obituary? Where the fuck did CC get this and why did it have to crop up now? Lily entered the back room, her heart racing as she watched in silence as Andy and Jake set the small red head in an empty chair and Andy began to search around for some rope to tie her up. A hand came clapping down on her shoulder and Lily spun around, her hands raised defensively, but it was only Ashley. He smiled down at her, a proud look in his chocolate brown eyes before he looked over towards the chair.


“Lattie, what the fuck are you doing here?” Ashley asked as he approached the girl and she only looked up at him, her green eyes squinting and her mouth was raised in a smirk.

“Oh Cal…you know I couldn’t just sit at home and let you have all the fun.” The girl said and Andy felt his eyes grow wide. Lattie? Latvinia was the Demon who had attacked Lily? Andy felt his blood boil as he looked from his best friend and then down at Ashley’s twin.

“You snuck up here!” Ashley shouted and Andy felt confused. Lattie wasn’t one of the original ten that had been sent to capture him and Lily?

“You aren’t here on the Lord’s orders?” Andy asked and he shivered slightly as Lattie trained her bright green eyes on him. She was beautiful as a human, with soft red hair, pale skin and those bright eyes-but to Andy she was still ugly on the inside-a toxic person with attachment issues.

“I’m here on my own mission.” She said softly, her eyes welling with tears as he looked down at her. Andy reached out to his left, his fingers grasping for Lily’s as he pulled her to him. He felt proud of Lily-she had fought off a Demon all on her own-a crazy Demon at that.

“Oh? What’s that?” Andy asked, his eyebrows raised as he felt Lily squeeze his hand tightly. She was clutching something in her other hand, but Andy was too focused on Lattie to notice.

“You. I wanted to come here to get you and bring you back home. I-I still love you Andrus.” Lattie confessed and Andy hissed out a breath. He should of killed this crazy bitch when he’d had the chance back in Hell.

“Whoah! Can we just talk about the fact that Lily died and is now standing here!? Are you a zombie or something Lil’?” CC’s voice rang out from behind them and Andy turned around to face the drummer.


CC was standing there, the piece of paper that Lily had had clutched in her hands fluttering from his own fingertips and the poor drummer looked so confused. Suddenly everyone’s eyes were on Lily, who was standing there, her head bent towards the floor and she felt like crying in that moment. What was she supposed to say? I died-yes, but Andy felt sorry for me and couldn’t torture me when I was in Hell and so we escaped and came back to Earth. Oh and now there are Demons chasing after us because we broke about a hundred Laws down there and he’s teaching me to sword fight. Fuck that. Lily only stood there, her head coming to face them all, her lavender eyes tear filled and suddenly Andy was by her side, pulling her towards him as her face came to rest against his chest.


“We don’t have to explain anything to you.” Andy growled as he bent down and placed a small kiss to the top of her head. Lily only stood there, her eyes vacantly staring out into the room.

“Yeah, dude, you-uh…kind of do.” Jake said from his place on the small couch in the room and Andy turned to his other bandmate. Jake had been so great towards him…giving him a job, teaching him how to play the guitar and he had introduced Andy to all different kinds of music. If they owed anyone an explanation-it was Jake.

“You want the truth?” Andy asked and he felt Lily grip onto his arm tightly, shaking her head against his chest. He knew she was scared. Scared of what they would think. Of what they would say. But this had to happen and in some weird way Andy trusted these guys.

“Uh-yeah.” CC said, his voice gruff as he moved to sit next to Jake on the couch. Ashley had remained on his feet, leaning up against the wall nearest the couch, one foot behind him with his newly tattooed arms crossed over his chest.

“Fine. Lily did die. I am Andrus-a Torture Demon from Hell and I was given the task of torturing Lily for her crimes as a human. I-I couldn’t do it…” Andy stopped. Lily was looking up at him now, her light eyes searching his. He had never told her why he couldn’t go through with it, but now she was going to find out.

“I had found out earlier on that day that I am actually only Half Demon…I’m actually mostly Human at this point. When I…when I looked into Lily’s eyes and I had known that the crime that she had committed was only against herself…I couldn’t go through with it. We escaped with the help of my best friend Calvanis. Who is standing right next to you at this very moment.” Andy spilled it all out in nearly one breath and everyone turned to face Ashley, who only looked down on them with a wicked smirk on his lips.


The room was silent for what seemed like forever. CC seemed to be processing everything that Andy had said and Jake could only stare out in front of him-a look of disbelief and shock on his features. Lily felt the tears come to her eyes as she stood there, her head resting against Andy’s chest as he stroked her hair softly. He knew this was going to be hardest on her-she was so scared of everyone judging her and thinking that she was crazy. But they had to do this-it would only get worse the more Demons came after them and the guys had to know. They had to be able to protect themselves because whether they liked it or not-they were just as Wanted as Lily and himself.


“Let me get this straight-You are a Demon from Hell and Lily died, but because you didn’t torture her and brought her back here…she’s alive? Dude that is the craziest fucking thing I have ever heard!” CC shouted, his voice full of laughter as he took the couple in and rested his head on the back of the couch. Did he believe them? Lily couldn’t tell, but she was holding out hope.

“D-do you believe us?” Lily asked, her voice small as she caught eyes with CC and his face softened. Lily had been like a little sister to him and it had hurt him to see her obituary and it hurt him even more to see that she had lied to him.

“I’m not sure yet. I mean it’s fucking wild, but I’m a pretty opened minded person. Jake?” CC had turned to the silent guitarist, who was still staring out in front of him.

“…it would explain a lot. Especially about you Andy…” Jake finally spoke up, his brown eyes moving from the floor until he was looking right at Andy. Andy only stood there, blushing as he held on to Lily and tried to keep himself under control. What if they didn’t believe them? Neither one of them had enough money yet to make it on their own. Where else could they go?

“I-I guess we have no other choice than to say-yeah, we believe you dude.” CC said, a smile coming to his face as he stood up and walked towards the couple. At this news Andy had released his death grip on Lily and smirked at his bandmate as they embraced, but Andy’s hand never dropped Lily’s trembling one.


Jake joined their embrace and suddenly Andy felt as if a weight had been lifted. No more pretending to be fully Human. No more trying to quickly explain away things like why he didn’t know what a President was or that he was completely unaware of holidays like Halloween or Christmas. He could be himself finally-he and Lily could be together more comfortably and maybe she wouldn’t have to be the only one to explain things to him. As they all stood around, laughing at the ridiculous truth that had just been spilled, Andy noticed that Lily seemed distracted. She kept looking at Lattie, who was still strapped to a chair in the middle of the room, her green eyes staring out in front of her.
What were they going to do with this Demon, who in her obsession for him had snuck on to Earth and tried to kill the only person that he cared about?

“Now, Lattie…what do you know.?” Andy asked suddenly as he moved over towards the silent girl, Lily sticking back behind him, but she obviously had her own curiosities about Lattie’s sudden appearance.

“I know a Hell of a lot more than you do Andrus.” The girl spat, her eyes evil looking as she stared at them all.

“Tell me.” Suddenly Andy was at her throat, a dagger held in his hands and Lattie only smiled as she trained her eyes on Lily and her smirked widened.

“He wants her…” She said simply, nodding her head towards Lily. Andy kept his eyes on Lattie though and he could feel his patience wearing thin.

“Who? Who wants Lily?” He asked and Andy felt a growl grow in his chest.

“The Dark Lord…” Lattie said simply, shrugging her shoulders as she moved her eyes to look in to his.

“He has plans for Lily, Andy. Satan plans to get another heir…he lost you, but with her he may just gain another one…a better one.” Her voice was dripping with hate as Lattie looked at him with an eyebrow raised and Andy felt his heart stop.


Satan wanted Lily? Suddenly it clicked and Andy ran back over towards Lily, taking the shivering girl into his arms. He knew why now-he understood. Andy had come to Earth and he was no longer a rightful Heir to the Hell Throne. Now Lily was going to be used to solve that little problem.

Over Andy’s dead and cold body.

Notes

O.O Well lots of new information being thrown around in this chapter.

I want to apologize to you guys-I said I was going to update this last night and I didn't. The thing is I have something called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in both of my hands. This means that I can't feel some of my fingers when it's flaring up and so typing can get hard because I can't hit the keys hard enough sometimes. That's why when you read over my stories, it sometimes seems like letters are missing, like I'm writing he instead of her-it's because my left pinky isn't hitting that 'r' hard enough to register with the computer.

So, yesterday was a battle just to get other things written up and by the time I got to this story-my fingers were pretty nonfunctional. So I'm sorry-I had every intention of updating last night, but it just didn't work out. I'll try to get a few chapters written for this story so I have some back up.

I hope you enjoyed this update and please review, because I love you all.
