Skylar and Lacy spent the day shopping. Afterwards they went to a movie. Skylar was trying to get Lacy's mind off of what happened last night. When Andy had brought Lacy home in such a state, Skylar was beyond worried.

Andy had texted her that he would be going out and probably wouldn't be home when they got there. She had already figured out that when he disappeared at night he was out feeding. She knew he needed blood and he assured her he never killed the people he fed from, so she didn't think about it too much.

When they got back to the apartment, it was almost 9:30. Skylar had shool tomorrow, so all she wanted to do was take a shower and go to bed. Lacy threw her keys on the table like she always did as Skylar kicked her shoes off and placed them by the door. They carried their shopping bags into the living room and tossed them onto the couch.

"Which outfit do you think I should wear tomorrow?" Skylar asked Lacy.

She didn't answer. Skylar looked up at her and saw her staring past her with fear etched on her face. Frowning, she turned to see what she was looking at and froze.

Standing in the hall was Ryan. He had a creepy smile on his face.

"Hello, Lacy. No one's here to protect you now. And I see you brought a friend. So did I." He said as his four friends came out of the kitchen blocking their only escape route.

Two of his friends grabbed Lacy and began tying her hands behind her back with duct tape. The other two did the same thing to her. They also placed duct tape on both of their mouths and feet. They couldn't scream.

As they dragged the two girls down the hall and into Lacy's bedroom, Ryan kept up a steady stream of chatter. "You won't get away this time, Lacy and with your friend here, the party can really get started. I hope you two like it rough."

They tossed Skylar onto the bed and dropped Lacy on the floor. Her heart was pounding and tears were pouring down her face. She closed her eyes and silently prayed Andy would come home.

She felt a hand touch her face and her eyes shot open. She flinched away. She could see Lacy on the floor with two guys hovering over her. They were cutting her shirt open with a knife while laughing as if this were the greatest thing ever.

They all stopped when a sound came from the livingroom. Hope surged through Skylar as Ryan instructed on of his friends to go check it out.

"Be quiet. Don't make a sound." He threatened as he held the knife to Lacy's throat.

There was a yelp and then the thud of someone hitting the floor. Ryan turned as the door to the burst open and a blur came into the room. The guy standing beside Skylar dropped to the floor and she found herself splatter with blood as he fell to the floor, his throat ripped out. The second guy flew across the room and hit the wall. He slid to the floor and didn't move.

Before Ryan had time to react to what had just happen, he found himself pinned to the wall by a very angry Andy.

"Didn't I warn you. I told if you came near her again it would be your last mistake." He said tightening his grip on Ryan's neck. "It's bad enough you came after Lacy, but it was a huge mistake to touch Skylar."

Ryan's feet were dangling off the floor and he was trying in vain to get out of Andy's grasp. In an act of desperation he stabbed the knife into Andy's chest. He looked down at the knife and then back up at Ryan. "You think that will help you? News flash, I'm not that easy to kill."

With that he punched through Ryan's chest and ripped out his heart. This time it was Lacy who was spattered with blood He dropped him to the floor. He looked up to see the guy who had been flung into the wall making a grab for Skylar. In a flash Andy was across the room and behind him. He pulled the knife from his chest and used it to slit the guys throat.

Letting him fall to the floor, Andy bent down and pulled the tape off Skylar's mouth. "Are you alright, love? He didn't hurt you too badly?" He asked as he took the tape off her feet and hands.

When she was free, she flung herself into his arms and sobbed. "Thank God you got here in time, Andy."
"I told you I will always protect you, angel. No one will hurt as long as I'm here." He said kissing her.

"Love, I need to get Lacy free." He said pulling away from her.

He went to Lacy, who was crying uncontrolably. As soon as she was free she clung onto Andy and buried her heard in his chest. "Oh God, Andy, he-he-he."

Andy wrapped his arms around her. "Shhh. He can't hurt you anymore, Lacy. You're safe now." he said trying to comfort her.

He stood up, pulling Lacy with him. Keeping an arm on Lacy, he reached out and took Skylar's hand. He led them into Skylar's room. "You two stay here. I need to clean this up. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

He let go of Skylar's hand and pulled away from Lacy. They went and set on the bed, clinging to each other as Andy turned and left the room.
