Lily felt like she couldn’t breathe as she laid there-the walls seemed to be pushing in around her as she stared at the ceiling and silently hoped that the feeling in her stomach would go away. There was a loud knock and Lily felt her heart skip a beat. Had they come? Had they come back for her? She tried to move but felt unable to control herself and Lily felt even more panicked. They had come for her-the Demons were back and they were going to take her away!

Lily felt the tears prick her eyes and her forehead became sweaty as she laid there and suddenly the door opened and she screamed. They were here! A tall figure stood silhouetted against the door and she shrank back against her pillows as the figure approached. Wild hair and even wilder looking eyes looked down at her and Lily felt her voice catch in her throat as she shut her eyes and tried not to make too much noise. They couldn’t take her back! She couldn’t be taken away from Andy again!


“Lily?” A deep voice called out to her and Lily only whimpered as she kept her eyes closed and tried to press her face against her pillow even more. Even though they had moved to an apartment across town-she knew that they had found her somehow…she knew she was doomed.

“No! Please no!” She screamed, the tears running down her cheeks as Lily cracked an eye open and saw that the figure was coming closer, a hand out stretched towards her. She had to fight-she couldn’t just lay here and let them take her again.

“Lily?! Lily what’s wrong?!” The voice spoke her to her again and then there was a loud grunt as her foot connected with a gut and Lily felt herself begin to flail around.

“Stay away from me you Demon asshole!” Lily screamed as she kicked, bit and scratched at the figure that was now trying to hold her down.


Lily felt a pair of strong hands gripping her wrists as she was being pushed down in to the bed, unable to move, but her legs were still free and so she took aim and kicked out once again. There was a low grunt and the figure fell back and Lily smiled-obviously this was a male Demon and she had kicked him right where it counted. Suddenly there was another figure in the doorway and Lily screamed as she moved to the other side of the bed and sat down on the cold floor with her back against the fluffy mattress.

The room was flooded with light and Lily looked around-dozens of eyes from Andy’s posters were staring down at her and she only hoped that the guys would get home from their away show any minute. She couldn’t go back-she had just gotten over being taken the first time over three weeks before and she knew that if she went back…there would be no saving her this time around.


“Lily?” Someone called out into the room-a female. Lattie? No, no it couldn’t be Lattie…she had killed that bitch during their fight, something that Ash was still trying to get over.

“What’s wrong with her?” Another voice asked and Lily struck out, hitting whatever fleshy bit of Demon was coming her way.

“Lily! Lily it’s Andy, Jinxx and Sammi!” One of the voices said and Lily only shook her head violently as she covered her ears and tried to avoid eye contact. Demons were liars-Andy had told her that-and they would say anything to try and get her to go with them again.

“Liar!” Lily shouted again and then she felt a pair of hands come to rest on her shoulders, pushing her back against the mattress and Andy felt his heart break as he looked down at the love of his life. Her eyes were wild and tear filled-Lily looked terrified out of her mind.

“Lily-baby…please calm down.” Andy said, his voice calm and gentle but Lily only continued to fight him. Why was she acting this way? Why was she acting like she didn’t know who he was?

“No! You can’t take me again! I won’t let you!” She cried and Andy said nothing as he pulled her tiny body against his, bringing her so that she was sitting on his lap. With his hands on the back of her head, Andy rocked the two of them back and forth slowly.

“Nobody’s going to take you baby…I won’t let anyone take you away from me again.” Andy said, his voice almost a whisper against her hair and Andy knew that Lily was finally beginning to calm down. He looked over his shoulder towards Jinxx and Sammi and saw that the couple looked shocked.

“I-I…Andy?” Lily said as she looked up at him. Those blue eyes-no Demon would have those blue eyes of his and Lily knew-she had flipped out against her own boyfriend. What was going on? What was wrong with her?

“Yes! Yes baby it’s me…it’s me Andy…you’re safe.” His voice was low in her ear and Lily felt a new bout of tears come to her eyes. What had happened to her? The last thing she remembered was laying in bed, wondering when the guys would get home and then it felt like she couldn’t breathe.

“I-I thought…” Lily couldn’t go on as the sobs took over and soon she was clutching on to Andy for dear life. He held her, his black paint covered fingers rubbing her temples softly as Lily only cried harder.


Andy said nothing as he held Lily against him tightly, moving the two of them up on to the bed and as he held her Andy looked around their shared room. After they had been ambushed, the guys had all agreed that it was time to move and live separately-that way they weren’t sitting targets. Andy, Lily, Jinxx and Sammi had all gotten an apartment together with Jinxx selling the building he had been using and because of that they were able to afford a decent apartment in a terrible part of LA. Ashley, Jake and CC were all staying in the space over The Pitt.

Andy and Lily had decorated their room with as many posters as possible, but now as dozens of pairs of eyes stared down at him Andy was wondering if it was such a good idea. The two of them laid there, Lily was still crying and sniffling softly against his chest, her tiny fingers curled around his long black hair and Andy smiled against the top of her head.


“Come on babe. Sit up and tell me what’s going on.” Andy said as he griped her shoulders and Lily whimpered as she felt herself being pulled away from him and soon she was leaning up against their pillows.

“I-I just pa-panicked.” Lily said, her voice soft as she looked up at him and saw that Andy had a gentle smile on his face.

“Why though? What made you get so scared?” Andy asked as he moved his fingers to swipe the hair out of her face. Lily bit down on her lip-embarrassed because she wasn’t even sure what made her freak out so badly.

“I-I don’t know. I guess just seeing the shadows going around the room and then you opened the door and it all just took me back to that night.” Lily said and Andy looked at her, his blue eyes catching her gaze and Lily felt like she was going to melt in to nothing.

“Well you’re safe…nothing is going to hurt you babe.” Andy said as he cuddled her close but Lily felt a frustration in her rise. Did he think she was stupid? Satan-THE Satan-was after her and wanted to make her have his babies. What world was Andy living in these days?

“Andy-I-I think we need to talk about what happened before I woke up out of my coma…” Lily said, biting down on her lower lip as she sat up and moved so that they were facing one another. She reached out and began to pick at the loose strings near the hole in his pants and Andy only smiled.

“We don’t have to if you’re not up to it…” His voice was low and his eyes were covered by his bangs. Lily looked at him and noticed that he was still covered in black paint from being on stage earlier that night. The guys had blown up locally and they were going to start recording a full album soon.

“No…I need to get this out. I think that it would make me feel better…” Lily said and Andy only nodded as he took her small hand in his, his thumbing rubbing over her warm skin and she smiled.

“I-I was in Heaven…” She stopped, closing her eyes as Lily tried to remember everything from that distant memory.

“Heaven? Really?” Andy asked, his voice low and breathy sounding. He had always wondered what Heaven looked like-even when he had been in Hell he always dreamed of being somewhere else.

“Ye-yeah. There was this angel…she was beautiful. I-I don’t know if you know who Uriel is…” Lily stopped as Andy gripped her hand and she looked up. They locked eyes and Lily noticed that Andy’s blue eyes were wide at her admission.

“The Angel of Destiny…what did she say?” Andy asked, his voice wary. He had heard of Uriel and her predictions for people who had come to Heaven. Sometimes they were good and sometimes they were very, very bad.

“She told me that our love-our destiny was to be together-it would start a war. Satan is planning a war…against God, Humans and against you Andy…” Lily’s voice had grown sad and Andy said nothing as he pulled her to him.


His fingers tangled in her hair, rubbing the top of her head and he knew that he should probably loosen his grip but he was too scared. A war? Satan wanted to wage a war against him? Fuck. Andy gulped as he looked out the window into the dark night and suddenly he was worried about what could be lurking outside their apartment. They had moved-yes, but it was not hard to figure out where they moved to.

Andy and Jake still worked at the record store and the girls and CC still worked for the clothing store. Ash was a bouncer at a local strip joint, but Demons loved sin and so it would be pretty obvious to figure things out from there. What were they going to do? They couldn’t just sit in one place-they needed to move around…they needed to be in a different state each day or every other day.

They needed to run.


“Lily-I love you and I swear I will not let him take you.” Andy said, his voice strong as he held her at arms length and saw that she had begun to cry once again.

“I-kn-know-b-but-I-I’m just s-so –sc-scared…” Lily was sobbing now and Andy could feel her hot tears fall against his chest as he pulled her close once again. How was he supposed to make her feel better? Nothing he could say or do at that point was going to erase the trauma that Lily had experienced.

“Hey-look at me. Lily. Look at me.” He said, his voice stern and finally Lily lifted up her chin and Andy was looking into her light lavender eyes.

"We will get through this. We will brave this storm and face this thing day by day…you aren’t alone in this Lily. I’ve got you…I will always be there for you.” Andy said and once again her head was buried in his chest and they were rocking back and forth slowly.


They stayed like that for a while-Andy holding on to Lily and she was holding on to him almost as tightly. Andy didn’t want to let her go, but Lily convinced him that she would be okay while he went and showered. They kissed, deeply and slowly before Andy placed one last kiss against her forehead and then walked out of the room. He was only two doors down the hall in the bathroom, but Lily felt like he was miles away from her.

She loved him-she loved feeling so loved and cared for. Andy had been so good to her, especially when she had been injured and still had her stitches. After a week and a half in the hospital Lily had been allowed to go home, but she had to take care of her wound very carefully to prevent infection. Andy had taken over the job of cleaning her stitches every night and Lily knew that he was taking more pleasure in it than he should be. She pretty much had to lay there in her bra in order for him to get to everything and she had caught him more than once glancing more North than where her wound was located.

Lily bit down on her lip as she sat there, leaning up against their pillows and her mind began to fill with thoughts. Should they sleep together? Would Andy even want to sleep together? Would he even know how? Lily knew how things worked-she had taken health class in high school, but Andy knew nothing of the world. Maybe she should ask Ashley to help them out? Eck-no…the mere thought of having a manwhore talk to the two of them about sex made Lily shiver.

She wouldn’t rush things-no, she was going to let things progress naturally and maybe soon things would get hot enough to where they could explore that side of their relationship. Lily looked up at the door opened, her heart stopping but she held it in as she saw that it was only Andy and that he was only clad in a pair of Batman boxer shorts. He was now paint free and smirking at her as he shut off the light and climbed in the bed beside her.


“Good night Lily-Love you…” He whispered as Andy snaked his arm around her waist and Lily felt herself being pulled against his chest. Her back was up against him, her butt feeling things through the thin fabric of his boxers and Lily blushed-thankful that the lights were off.

“Night…love you too.” She whispered and then sighed in contentment as Andy reached over and kissed the side of her face gently.


They had some things to figure out and a wicked storm to weather, but Lily knew as she laid there that as long as they were together-she and Andy could face anything that came their way.

Notes

Anyways-hope you guys enjoyed this and I'm going to try and write a few back up chapters now in case I'm still feeling shitty over the next few days.
