Lily looked around, her eyes squinting in the bright light that surrounded her and she felt like crying in that moment. Heaven-she was in Heaven and while that fact made her happy since that meant she hadn’t been taken down to Hell…it also made her want to sob. She had died. She had died in Andy’s arms just as he confessed his love for her finally and she couldn’t remember in that moment if she had been able to say it back.

Had she ever told him how she felt? He must’ve known even just a little bit that she had deep feelings. Andy may be part Demon and unaware of how most things worked-but she could tell that he was observant enough to know how she felt. Lily sighed as she looked down at herself and then she cringed-the dresses in Heaven were ugly as shit. And they were scratchy. Lily felt herself shiver as she wrapped her arms around herself and looked up to take in her surroundings.

Everything around her was pure white and Lily smiled as she realized that she could see clouds in the distance.If she looked over the ledge of the marble wall in front of her-would she be able to look down and see Andy? Would he be mourning her death? Or would he be carrying on-leading the guys through life while they made their band bigger and better? As she moved closer to the edge, Lily felt a hand come to rest on her shoulder and as she turned around she felt her jaw drop.

A beautiful woman stood before her-her pitch black hair floating around her head as if there was an invisible wind blowing around them. She wore a white dress that looked gauzy and Lily suddenly felt jealous-she was still wearing an ugly flower patterned smock dress that was making her boobs itch like crazy. She gasped as Lily finally noticed the wings flapping softly behind the woman and Lily knew she was looking upon an Angel.


“H-hi…” Her voice was soft. Lily felt like she had to whisper around this place because everything was so silent and still as the two of them stood there.

“Hello Lily. My name is Uriel and I’m here to lead you on your path.” The woman’s voice was strong and Lily suddenly thought back to her time in school. Uriel-the Angel of Destiny.

“This-uh-path, where does it lead to?” She asked, her voice stronger now and Uriel only smiled softly at her as Lily felt a hand being placed on her shoulder and soon the two of them were looking over a marble balcony.

“Where would you like it to lead to?” The Angel asked and suddenly as Lily looked down she saw Andy. He was crying, his arms folded with his head resting on them and she could see his shoulders shaking. Lily realized that she could also see herself-her body-laying on a bed with a tube down her throat and she felt her stomach drop. Was she still alive?

“I-I love him.” Lily said simply as she looked up from below and caught eyes with the Angel before her. Lavender eyes met crystal blue ones and suddenly Lily missed Andy more than ever. His laugh. His touch. Everything about him made her smile.

“And he you. It is your love and devotion for one another Lily that has begun this war we all find ourselves in…” Uriel spoke as she led the small girl back towards the center of the room and then she faced Lily, her eyes kind and gentle.

“War? What war?” Lily asked, biting down on her lip as she looked up and had to blink a few times. The light behind Uriel was growing stronger and stronger and suddenly Lily felt as if she was being pushed.

“Andy sacrificed for you-he is becoming human for you and Satan is losing his only heir to the throne of Hell. He is not happy and has declared war on God and humanity as a whole. You have started something that the both of you need to finish. You’re time is coming Lily, but it is not now.” Uriel said and Lily felt as if her mind was clouding over.


Suddenly she felt as if she were falling backwards, her arms and legs floating in front of her and Lily wanted to cry out. Things flashed across her eyes-memories of when she was a child in Catholic School. Being teased because of her strange eyes and light hair. Being tormented as she walked down the halls-things being screamed at her as others threw wadded paper balls at her back. Crying in a bathroom stall with a razor blade in her hand as she sliced away at her own flesh.

Brianne and her laughing and joking as they listened to music and dreamt of getting as far away as they possibly could. Lily praying at night for God to take her life so that she could be at peace. A funeral-looking down at Brianne as she laid in her coffin and Lily only wished and hoped that soon she would join her best friend. Dying-she remembered dying as she fell and then she remembered other things.

Blue eyes. So clear and honest as they bore in to her soul that Lily was sure she would get lost in them and stay lost forever. Running down cobble stoned streets as they tried to escape Hell and finally the light of day as she and Andy reached the surface of Earth. She watched as happy memories flooded across her vision. Andy and her cuddling as they watched old Batman cartoon reruns. Teaching him how to head bang as they listened to the Misfits in the room that they shared.

Kissing him for hours and smirking against his skin as he nibbled at her neck or her ears. Waking up to his smiling face every morning and wondering what new thing he would want to learn about that day. Jinxx. Jake. CC. Ashley. Sammi. All of them flashed across her memory and suddenly Lily heard a loud shrill beeping coming from somewhere and she landed, fast and so hard that it knocked the breath from her lungs.

Lily kept her eyes closed as she was terrified to open them and see what was before her. Had she fallen to Hell? There was still that beeping noise and Lily only laid there, finally gaining the courage to crack one eye open. The room around her was ugly-with nasty green walls and old curtains framing the dirty windows. She felt itchy and uncomfortable and as she swallowed Lily winced and noticed that there was a tube down her throat-pushing air into her lungs. She turned her head slightly and finally Lily noticed that she wasn’t alone.

A black mop of hair was resting next to her, the tendrils curling slightly as they flowed over her legs and finally she noticed that someone had their hand wrapped tightly around hers. Wires were coming from everywhere and Lily wondered if they were keeping her alive even at this very moment. She then realized that Andy was sitting next to her-asleep and she wondered how long he had been there. How long had she been out? Lily squeezed the hand that held hers slightly, hoping that it would rouse him and he would look at her with those perfect eyes of his.


“Hmm…” Andy mumbled as he turned his head and finally Lily could see his face. She winced as she noticed his black eyes and stitched up cheek. He was alive though and as Lily squeezed again-much harder, she noticed that he smiled softly in his sleep.

“Wha? Five more minutes Lil’.” He groaned as Andy yawned and then ran his free hand over his tired looking eyes. Lily opened her eyes wide at him as if to say, ‘Hello-remember me?’ and suddenly Andy seemed to be wide awake.

“Lily? Lily! Nurse!” Andy was shouting and Lily tried to smile but she knew he wouldn’t be able to see it since she still had a tube shoved down her throat.


Lily felt sad as Andy dropped her hand and disappeared from the room, but he soon returned with a small woman behind him. Lily felt nervous as the woman approached her and she tried to hold still as she went through her inspection of the girl. Lily felt ice cold fingers touch and prod her and then there were lights being shined in her eyes and she felt scared in that moment. When would they take this tube out of her throat? When would she be able to talk to Andy-to tell him of her vision of Uriel and the war that was about to start.

It sounded crazy, but was it really crazy to imagine a Demon Angel War when Andy was sitting right next to her in all of his Half Demon glory with tears streaming down his face? Oh God-she had made him cry and Lily felt terrible as she focused on his eyes as doctors and nurses surrounded her. Finally after thirty minutes of prodding and poking they warned her that they were going to take the tube out and that it would hurt, but Lily was ready. She wanted to talk to Andy and she wanted to talk to him NOW.


“Alright. One-two-three.” The doctor said and Lily felt herself gag as the tube moved from deep in her throat and suddenly she could breathe on her own. She smiled and then winced-her jaw was killing her but Andy only squeezed her hand as his tearful blue eyes locked on to hers.

“Okay-talking is going to be a slow process over the next day so please don’t force it. I’m going to leave the two of you alone and then Lily I’m going to come back in and talk to you about everything we’ve put your body through. Okay?” The doctor-a youngish male who had sandy blonde hair and green eyes-smiled down at her and Lily only nodded weakly as she watched him leave her room.


They were alone and Lily felt her eyes grow wide as Andy reached forward and wrapped his arms around her neck. He sobbed against her shoulder, his tears making his entire body shake as Andy held on to her for dear life. Lily tried to speak, but it hurt too much and so she was relegated to just rubbing his back and kissing the side of his head.

Finally he moved away from her and she smiled as they locked eyes and slowly he pressed his lips down. Lily wanted to melt against him, but she knew that she needed to rest and so slowly she pulled away. Andy only smiled at her, understanding flashing in his eyes as he placed his large hands against her cheeks and then moved to place a soft kiss to her forehead.


“You don’t understand how scared I’ve been for you Lily.” Andy said, his voice low and sad sounding and Lily wished in that moment that she could speak.

“You’ve been in a coma for four days and the doctors weren’t sure you were going to come out of it. I was so confused and Jake spent almost a whole day explaining everything to me and then I cried for two days and I haven’t left and I am just so happy to see your beautiful eyes again-even if you are looking at me like I’m crazy.” He spoke in one long breath and then she smiled as Andy laughed nervously and rubbed a hand across the back of his neck.

“Lily?” Andy asked and she opened her mouth to answer, but then thought better of it and Lily only raised a palm and motioned for him to continue.

“I-I love you.” He said softly and Lily smiled as she waved her hands at him, her light eyes wide and happy as she jumped up and down and then the pain came. It was excruciating and Lily felt like she had been sliced in two.

“Do you love me too?” Andy asked, a small smirk on his lips and Lily nodded as she blew him a kiss and moved to lean back against her pillows.

“Good. Can I get you anything?” He asked her and Lily nodded as she pointed a still shaking finger over towards a small table where a pitcher of water sat. Andy only smiled at her as he moved from her quickly-his lightening speed seemed slower and Lily grew sad in that moment. What Uriel told her was true-Andy was losing his Demon side more and more every day.

“Here you go baby.” Andy said as he handed her the full cup and Lily nodded her thanks before taking a huge gulp. It felt like Heaven and she drained the whole cup and then shyly motioned for him to please get her some more.

“I’m sure you’re pretty thirsty.” Andy said as he handed her another glass and she only nodded as Lily greedily gulped down the icy liquid and then patted the bed next to her.


Andy slowly got in to the bed and Lily moved so that he could place an arm behind her and soon she was snuggling into his side. She shivered as he ran his fingers over her skin-he touched her cheeks, her eye lids, her nose, her lips, her neck and then he began to trail his fingers down her bared arms softly. She closed her eyes, wishing with everything that she had to be able to speak so that she could warn Andy.

The war-the one between Satan and everyone else was coming and she knew that Andy had to know about it. They had to do something-run, hide-anything to get as far away from LA as they possibly could and suddenly Lily felt panicked. There was a loud beeping and both she and Andy looked over at her heart rate monitor and noticed that her heart rate had sped up. He looked down at her and Lily knew that Andy could tell that something was wrong.


“Lily? What’s wrong?” He asked and then he shook his head and she knew that he suddenly realized that she couldn’t talk.

“I…” She said weakly and then she felt a burning come to her throat and Lily motioned for more water. Andy got her cup and she chugged that water for all that she was worth.

“I lov-“ She had to stop once again and there was a small smile on his face as Andy watched her drink more water and then her eyes grew serious.

“I love y-“ She smacked her hands against the bed in anger and Andy leaned in and kissed her lips softly.

“It’s okay babe-we can talk more after you rest a little bit.” He said but Lily only tightened her jaw as she looked at him and then took another huge gulp of water.

“I-love-you.” She finally got it out and Lily fell back against her pillows. She was exhausted and it had taken so much energy for her to just get out three words that she didn’t know how she was going to explain everything else to him.

“I love you too Lily-now please rest.” Andy pleaded with her as he kissed her softly and moved to rest his head against her shoulder. Lily shook her head, smacking his hand and Andy looked at her then-worry and fear lacing his features. There was something more-he could feel it deep within his bones.

“Wa…” She started but then stopped, sighing as she drank more water and finally with a deep breath she exhaled and spoke as fast as she could muster in her exhaustion.

“War-is-coming-not-safe…” She fell back against her pillows and as Lily locked eyes with Andy she could see the wheels spinning in his head.


She would have to explain things in detail later on, but as Lily felt herself drifting off to sleep, she smiled and knew that at least now Andy was aware of a possible war coming their way. What he was going to do about it she had no idea, but she knew one thing.

Andy had protected her and she knew that he always would protect her-he would die for her.
