Let Shadows Die

The next morning, while Andy was at sound check, Hope went back to her house to pack. After the concert tonight, they would be leaving out and heading to the next city. Hope was a little nerveous about leaving her home. She had lived here her whole life, but now that she had Andy, she didn't want to be away from him. And after what had happened last night, she felt it would be safer to have him close to her.

When she got back to the hotel, Andy helped her load her stuff into the bus. He had already checked out of the hotel so they would be spending the rest of the time until the concert at the venue.

Hope was sitting on the bus with Ella while the guys were doing their press interviews. She and Ella were talking about what had happened the night before.
"You know he's lucky Andy didn't kill him. He probably wanted to, but he's probably afraid you'd be frightened of him if you saw his anger when he's wolfed out."
"Have you ever seen him angry before?" She asked Ella.

She was curious since she had only ever seen his gentle side. She was aware that, as a half-breed, Andy was the strongest member of the coven. The rest of the guys were either vampires or werewolves.

"No, but Jake has. He said it wasn't pretty. Of course, in Andy's defense, a hunter was trying to kill his family. He was only trying to protect them."
"I get the feeling he's very protective over his friends and family. I think he would only kill if he was forced to."
"You're right. Andy doesn't believe it's necessary to hurt or kill someone unless he needs to. He's very loyal to those he cares about. I'm glad he's found you. Juliet could be cruel to him sometimes. I didn't like it. When she found out the truth about him, she called him a freak of nature. It really hurt him. It's hard for him, being a half-breed, but to hear those words from someone who was suppose to love him really hurt. He's used to it from others, but from her..."
"I would never say or do something like that. I love him. Before I met him, I thought I would never find someone who understood me. I know how it feels to be considered a freak. My whole life I've always known I was different, but now, here, with you guys I don't feel so alone anymore."

Ella hugged her. They were quickly becoming best friends. Sisters in the fact that they both loved creatures who lived in shadow just to survive being something others feared. It wasn't fair to be hated for being born something you had no control over being.
