Andy felt his heart racing as he looked back at Lily and told her to run. He watched her scramble up the stairs and he groaned-why would she not run out the open door? His thoughts were interrupted by a Demon flying at him, catching him around the middle and they both crashed down to the floor. Andy moved to get up, his fist coming down across the face below him and as he looked over his shoulder he smirked. Ashley was fighting off two Demons, CC had one tiny Demon in a head lock while Jinxx and Jake were holding their own with their two Demons a piece. Andy grunted as he felt a pair of hands wrap around his waist and he fell back to the floor. It felt like the wind had been knocked from his chest and he only grunted as he crawled away, bending his knee towards his back as he moved his arm behind him to reach in to his boot.


“Oh Andrus-still the scrappy little fighter I see. I trained you well.” The Demon before him spoke and Andy felt his heart stop. Davanix had been his trainer all through Torture school and he had taken a shine to the pale skinned Demon. Now they were face to face and Davanix had his own pale mask on this time around.

“I figured you would be the one to come after me. The Lord hand picked you himself I’m sure.” Andy snarled as he moved out of the elder Demon’s reach and soon he was on his feet, his dagger out in front of him and the other Demon only smirked as they faced off.

“Ah well, his Majesty knows that I can predict your every move. Although I am shocked you no longer keep your sword at your side-pity as you were quite the swordsman.” Davanix sneered at him before he lunged and Andy spun quickly to the right, his shoulder hitting the side of the steps but he had avoided being knocked down once again.

“Well I still have it, sadly the humans don’t take to swords like Demons do. They prefer fists!” Andy said as he balled up his hand and let it fall against Davanix’s jaw. There was a sickening crack and the elder Demon was down on the ground, but he still held a smirk on his pale lips.

“Oh Andrus…such a silly boy. Can’t you feel it? You’re hardly a Demon anymore-no. Human and stupid, just like that little suicidal vixen that you’ve kept around you…” Andy saw red as he thought of Lily and soon he was down on his knees, his fists speaking for him as he smashed them over and over again against the Demon’s human face.


There were crashes all around him as his bandmates fought off the Demons that had come in to their home. Andy was just grateful that Ella and Sammi weren’t around-it was bad enough that Lily was up stairs hiding somewhere, he didn’t want to have to worry about two other girls and their safety. Speaking of girls-where was Lattie? She had been the only female Demon to come to Earth and yet as he quickly looked around Andy didn’t see her anywhere. She had probably run off-cowardly succubus that she was. Andy grunted as he was punched in the gut and he moved to roll away when there was a loud whistle and all of the Demons in the room stopped their fighting and suddenly they were up and heading for the door. Davanix landed one last punch to Andy’s jaw before he ran off, his blonde hair whipping around his face as he stopped at the door and turned to face Andy once more.


“You can’t run forever Andrus. He wants her…he wants you both and the Lord always gets his way.” With that the elder Demon had disappeared and Andy still sat on the floor, one hand up against his jaw as the other still gripped his unused dagger.

“What the fuck was that about man?” CC asked as he came towards Andy, holding out a hand to the slightly injured singer. Andy said nothing as he stood and took in his band mates. CC had what would soon be a black eye, Ashley was sporting a pretty nasty gash across one cheek, Jake seemed to be okay but he was favoring one leg over the other and Jinxx-poor Jinxx. He was missing patches of hair and he had blood pouring out of his split lip.

“They found us. Lattie told them where to find us-how did she know about this place…” Andy said as he turned to face Ashley and the bassist said nothing as he adverted his eyes towards the floor.

“Look I couldn’t kill her okay-she’d been living in my room since she attacked Lily and I thought I could finally trust her enough to untie her…” Ash’s voice was low and Andy only snarled at his best friend but then his eyes grew wide. They were no longer safe-the Demons knew where to find them and that meant that they could attack Lily whenever he wasn’t around.

“Jinxx-I-I’m sorry that this is being brought down on you man. I’m sorry any of you have to deal with this. I-I think it would be best if-“ Andy shuffled his feet back and forth as he avoided their gaze, but he was interrupted by Jake, who came over to him and wrapped his tattooed arms around Andy’s neck.

“It’s not your fault man. You did something for someone who you really care about and we’re here for you-we aren’t going anywhere.” Jake said as he pulled away and Andy gave him a weak smile.

“Thanks guys. I just don’t know what to do…” Andy said, his voice sad as he entered the common area and moved to help Jake right the couch that was currently laying on it’s side.

“Lead us into battle man!” CC shouted as he moved towards the coffee table and pushed it up right. Andy turned to take the guys in and they all had smiles on their faces.


Could he do it? Could he really lead them all into a battle that he knew with utmost certainty none of them would likely survive? Andy smirked at his bandmates-his brothers and he knew that they would always be there for him. He had never had a true family, but as he took in the four pairs of eyes that were looking at him he knew-he definitely had one now.



Lily ran down the hall, looking over her shoulder every once and awhile until finally she made it to her and Andy’s room. She raced around the corner, pulling the door shut behind her and she flipped the lock in place before jumping on the bed and then rolling off of it to land on the other side. There was a loud bang and Lily peeked her eyes over the edge of the bed and saw that the door was shaking violently with each bang.

Someone had followed her up here and Lily felt her heart beat racing as she looked around wildly for a weapon. Andy’s sword still was leaning up against their dresser and quickly she moved over to grab it. The metal weapon was heavy in her tiny hands, but Lily and Andy had begun to practice sword fighting, so she had some small idea on how to use it.


“Open up Lily!” A female voice called out and for a split second Lily thought it sounded like Sammi. Where had the girl come from? As far as Lily knew Sam was spending the weekend with her parents and wouldn’t be back to the house for another day. No-that wasn’t Sammi…it was someone much worse.

Lattie.


“Go away!” Lily called and then she shook her head. Lame-so lame.

“I’m not going to hurt you Lily!” The voice called from behind the door and for a moment Lily believed her. But then she remembered the look in Lattie’s eyes the first time the girl’s had seen one another-pure hatred and nothing else.

“Bullshit!” Lily called from the opposite side of the bed and her eyes grew wide as the door shook one last time and then it exploded inward.


The tiny red headed girl stood before her, her bright green eyes searching around the room until finally they found Lily hiding on the other side of the bed. Lattie smirked as she ran over towards her and Lily sat down and pushed herself as far away from the bed as possible. She was still holding on to the sword and Lattie only smiled as she jumped on the bed and made herself comfortable as she looked down at the cowering human. Her legs were crossed and Lattie smirked as Lily looked at her-her lavender eyes shining with tears as she kept her pathetic hands wrapped around a sword that she could probably barely even use.


“Lily come on…don’t make me hurt you.” Lattie said as she moved forward a little and then laughed manically as Lily gasped and clutched the sword more tightly.

“You can try.” Her voice was defiant as Lily moved to stand and Lattie didn’t move as she just watched the human girl get up and raise the sword over her head. She didn’t have the stones or the knowledge to use the weapon and Lattie only smiled as she remained seated.

“Oh look at you-Little Miss Muffet thinking she’s some bad ass. Well look here girlie-you got a lucky shot in last time…you won’t be so lucky now.”Lattie’s voice was dangerous and low and Lily felt herself hesitate for a moment but she never dropped the sword.

“Bring it bitch.” Lily snarled as she swung the sword over her head and brought it down in the Demon’s direction.


Lattie had rolled out of the way and Lily cringed as the sword sliced through her sheets and she saw Lattie out of the corner of her eye. Lily picked up the sword and crouched low-just like Andy had taught her and Lattie only smirked before she came running. The two girls moved around one another almost like in a dance-Lily would swing the sword down and Lattie would bend and twist out of harms way. Lily was growing tired and she wasn’t sure how much more she could keep this up. Lattie only smirked at the obviously tiring girl and she ran at Lily but then a scream pierced the air and Lily was the one smiling.


“Bitch!” Lattie screamed as she held her hand up-two of her fingers were missing and she was gushing blood all over the wood floor. Lily only smirked as she brought the sword up and stood her ground.

“Little Miss Muffet doesn’t just think she’s a bad ass-she is one. Now get the fuck out of here before I turn you into a Demon shish kabob.” Lily snarled and Lattie only smirked as she lunged at the small girl and knocked her to the floor. Lily’s head smacked against the hard wood and suddenly everything began to grow dark.

“Oh Lily-never let your guard down sweetie.” Lattie said, her voice sounding garbled as Lily felt like she was fading in and out. She felt a pair of arms lift her up and she felt the cold breeze against her cheeks as the window was opened.


Lily finally felt herself let go, the sword falling from her hands and then she felt like she was falling. Someone caught her though and at first she thought it was Andy, but someone laughed in her ear harshly and she knew-she had been caught. She wanted to cry, but her head hurt and she couldn’t open her eyes. A loud whistle sounded out and suddenly the air was filled with the sound of footsteps. Muffled voices faded in and out as Lily drifted and finally she just let herself become numb.

She was dead-she would be dead in a matter of time and she wanted to cry as the vision of Andy passed over her mind. His smirk-his smile. His eyes-those blue orbs staring in to her soul. That laugh-his giggle. Everything about him made her melt and the thought that he may actually love her made Lily want to fight. She couldn’t though-she knew there were too many of them and not enough of her and silently she hoped that Andy would somehow find her. As she was carried off, Lily found herself doing something she hadn’t done in years.

She prayed that Andy would come save her-she prayed that she would live another day to tell him how she felt. To tell him that she loved him.
