Abby flashed back to earlier that week. Leek had thrown Caroline in with Connor and Abby. The two had began fighting, Abby in the lead but only just.

'Aren't you going to stop them?' Connor asked, turning to Leek.

'I actually find it quite exhilarating,' Leek chuckled.

'Okay, that's enough stop,' Connor said trying to pull the two away from each other. 'Stop, stop, stop,' he demanded pulling Abby away from the other girl and into him.

'Thanks Connor,' Caroline had smiled, her breaths coming out in small gasps and her hands on her knees, supporting her.

'I didn't do it for you,' Connor told her, clutching Abby tighter in his arms.

She ran to catch up with the boy. "Hey Con," she said once she was walking beside him.

"You're awfully bubbly," he told her.

"Did you mean it?" she asked him.

"Mean what?" he asked, truly confused.

"When me and Caroline were in our little row, did you mean it when you said you weren't doing it to protect her?"

"Course I was," he smiled looking over at her, causing her to smile back and take his hand in hers.

He gasped, "wha-" but stopped when Abby squeezed his hand tighter. They could talk about it later. For now, they would just go with it, see what happened from there. In that one little touch it was clear; they would protect each other. They would be there for each other no matter what came up. Another death. Different, more dangerous creatures. Crazy exs. They'd be there for it all, together.
