Life's Passing

We must have sat like that for a long time. I only seemed to notice the time passing by how cold I was. I looked to my hands to seem them slightly turning red. "We should probably go inside now." I said to Leslie. She nodded and stood up and I followed her into the house. Juliet was in the kitchen talking to Bekah while making some food for everyone. Mostly sandwiches by the look of it. I walked into the living room leaving Leslie in the kitchen. CC, Ashley, and Jinxx were all in the living room watching some TV show. CC and Ashley were talking about how Ashley felt when he was reading people's aura. "When I see a red or an orange colored person. I feel the need to correct it by getting rid of them. In the dream I was killing them, really violently. That was why I was so scared when I saw Andy at first the next morning. I didn't want to hurt him. But it is only those two colors, the rest are either good or just struggling with a little bit of good and bad like every person is." CC nodded taking in Ashley's words. I looked over to Jinxx "Anything interesting happen while we were outside?" I asked. Jinxx shook his head no. "Not, really, if the snow melts a little bit I think that we are going to try to go get Bekah's, and I assume Leslie's, things tomorrow. I'm sure that they would like to wear their our clothes." Jinxx laughed.

I sat there for a moment once again taking all of this in. I was so mentally exhausted. "CC you died right?" I asked him suddenly. CC turned to me and thought for a moment. "I guess so, why?" He asked. "Well, you died and went to Hell. Bekah died and went to Hell... What if... Andy." I tried to string the words along to form a coherent thought. CC's eyes bugged out of his head at my words. "He's still alive somewhere." CC said. I nodded. "I had a dream last night, it was something that had happened in the past but Andy was there and able to explain to me the situation like he had witnessed it before. He talked to me like Matthew would." I tried to think of the possibilities of it. "But Juliet and I saw his body disappear. We saw the sun eat him away." Jinxx spoke worried now. " Well, we cant give hope on this then. But we cant tell Juliet. If she latches onto false hope it'll kill her." We all agreed and sat in silence. I hoped with every once of my being that Andy was alive somewhere. Leslie stepped into the living room then. "Lunch is ready." She said.

CC's POV

We all walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table while the girls put the food down for us. Bekah came to sit beside me and I smiled at her. Her face went red and I laughed a little to myself. We dove into the food like normal. No matter what was happening in our lives, tours, press, demons, we were still fiv... four hungry guys. I looked to see Juliet giving a smile to Leslie as they talked about old fashion trend that they used to be into. "Okay, pink skinnies, teased hair, knee high chucks, and a Mindless Self Indulgence t- shirt." Leslie. I busted out laughing. "You're a fucking scene kid?" I blurted out. All the girls laughed. " I 'was'. Trap music and all." Leslie emphasized. I couldn't imagine it. Jake looked her for a moment. "What?" She asked him. "MSI? Really?" He asked her. She laughed again and shook her head yes. " They're kick ass." Jake shook his head with mock disappointment. The rest of lunch went like this.

After lunch I went up to my room to try to think of a way we could fight Matthew. There had to be a plan set in place. I walked into the room and laid down on my bed opening my notebook again and looking over everyone's abilities and the strategies we had in place. Leslie and Jake were out back fighting each other, Ashley was testing his strength in the basement lifting what ever he could find. Juliet and Bekah were trying to do more research on demonology to find any weaknesses. I took my shirt off and let my wings out. It felt better having them out in the open. More myself. I racked my head around a plan trying to figure out all the different ways that we could fight and not get anyone else killed. Jake and Leslie were going to have to be our front line, but if for any reason they were injured then we would take a huge loss. However we couldn't send Ashley or Jinxx into the front with out any protection.

"Get your hands off of me!" I heard Leslie yell. I jumped up from my bed to look out the window and see someone trying to pick a fight with her. He had his hand around her wrist and was trying to pull her towards the street. I slipped my hoodie on and hid my wings while running down stairs. I was out the door in a matter of seconds and standing in the yard with the snow up to my thighs. "You're such a piece of shit! How can someone like you afford to live here on your salary?" The man asked I tried to get a good look at the man wondering if she had know him from somewhere. He had a blonde pony tail and towered over her. "Because I don't waste my money on crack and hookers. Now get the fuck off of me before I rip your dick off and feed it to you!" Leslie yelled at the man and tried to pull away from him. He let her go only to pull a gun out of his jacket and pointed it directly at Leslie's face.

I heard a growl rip from Jake's chest and with blackened eyes he lunged forward at the man. Jake held the man down to the ground by his throat with enough force to leave a crack in the sidewalk that laid under him. Leslie walked forward and pulled on Jake's arm. "Get off of him Jake. It isn't worth it. I ran over to them and kicked the gun out of the man's hand and grabbed it pulling it on him. "You are going to walk away from here. You are going to leave Leslie and us alone, and you are going to never speak of what you saw here today." The man whimpered under Jake's hold. Jake stood up and watched as the man clamored to his feet. He began to walk away as I continued to point the gun in his direction. I looked over to Jake who was still enraged. His eyes were black as he struggled to not follow after the man.

The man slowly fell out of our view and Jake calmed down. He turned to Leslie then. "Are you okay?" he asked. She simply nodded. "How in the hell did you know him?" Jake asked. Leslie sighed. "Well, he used to come into work all the time and make comments about how us girls shouldn't even be working because we were nothing more than sexual objects to him. Like I said demons come in more than one shape and size. I guess he saw that a piece of shit like me was doing better than he was and got pissed off. Most people in this town are on some sort of drugs so I guess the anger got to him. It doesn't help that I have no verbal sensor." Leslie explained. I tried to imagine what she had gone threw before we got here. I already wanted to leave and we had only been here a couple of weeks. She had lived here her whole life.

Jake had turned to me. "CC are you alright?" He asked. I tried to think. I took in my surrounding and realized that I still held my arm out, gun in hand, point in the direction of the man. I pulled it down to my side and shook my head. Leslie stuck her hand out for the gun and I gave it to her, not really knowing how to use it. She looked over it for a moment then huffed out a laugh. "Bastard had the safety on." She turned then and walked into the house with Jake following her. "You coming CC?" Jake asked. "Umm, I'm going to stay out here for a bit and clear my head." Jake nodded and wrapped his arm around Leslie leading her inside the house. I looked up to the sky and began to pray again. ' Maharet, if you are listening, please, I need your help. It seems we are fighting loosing battle here. help us to get threw this without anymore loss.' I sat down on the porch and behind me and started to cry. I missed Andy. He always seemed to know what was going to happen before it did and knew how to plan for things. 'Help me find peace.' How was I to guide us all along like Maharet said. ' Send me some sort of sign that things are going to be okay in the end of this. Send me something that will help protect us all and help us gain back what we once held dear.' I felt a hand on my shoulder then and half expected it to be Maharet, she had a way of popping up when I needed her. I turned around slowly wiping the tears away from my face and saw Bekah standing there. The porch light making a sort of glow behind her as the sun set and the sky was getting darker. She smiled down to me with such a grace that I felt calm. I felt peace.
