It was another morning that Eternity had woken up screaming in a pool of her own sweat. Andy was up beside her with the same worried expression he always wore when she was woken like this. Tears streamed out of her eyes as she couldn't get the image of Elwood cutting up her friends out of her head. She looked down at her arms, the slayer had cut there in her dreams and she could almost feel the burn that the golden knife had caused. Andy wrapped his arms around her as she cried into his chest. "Don't worry, it was only a dream." He cooed comforting words that only had a short term effect. As Eternity calmed down she thought she could smell something. "Is that alcohol?" She asked as the aroma filled the bus. Andy narrowed his eyebrows and stepped out of the bunk to se that they weren't the only ones who noticed. "Have you been drinking?" Sandra asked him, he just shook his head and advanced towards the scent. He was led in between two bunks, one belonged to Ashley and the other was occupied by CC. Everyone knew that Ashley was the one most likely to drink but when they pulled back his curtain they saw him sober, with confusion in his eyes. "I thought there was a rule about knocking? Anyway who has the booze?"

"We thought you had it...?" Sandra said before turning around and looking at the bunk CC was in. "CC?" Andy called quietly but there was no answer. Sandra walked over to his bunk and pulled back the curtain to reveal him out, cold, with an empty bottle of vodka next to him and another bottle in his hand that was three quarters full. Eternity was now with them and looking at CC in shock before taking the bottle from his hand and walking to the bus door and throwing it out. "Hey! That's from my stash!" Ashley protested after seeing that CC had took most of it. "And it wasn't cheep!"

"I don't care how much you paid for it; all alcohol is being thrown off of this bus." Eternity's voice was firm; but she was doing this fro CC after all. Ashley mumbled something to himself before handing Eternity all of his beer but made sure not to let her see his last bottle of vodka. "And the vodka, I can smell it Ash" Eternity demanded and put a hand out so Ashley could give it to her. "I don't have any vodka; the smell must be from CC." He spoke a little too quickly to be believable. "Ashley..." She looked him in the eyes but he didn't give up. "I won't let him anywhere near the vodka, he won't even know I have it just please let me keep it, PLEASE!" Ashley begged. He had thought about drinking his problems away and wanted the vodka to stay, just so he knew that if he ever needed it, it would be right by him.

"This isn't just for him, you and I both know how much you enjoy getting drunk and were not in any position to look after you when you're fucked up." Ashley slowly handed her the bottle and frowned as he watched Eternity pour the contents on the floor outside before chucking the bottle into a near by bush. At that moment, Jake, Angelina, Jinxx and Sammie all walked over to everyone else were. "Has someone been drinking?" Sammie asked as the strong smell hit her. "Yep. Watch out for CC, when he wakes up he is going to have the hangover from hell." Sandra said before going into the kitchen and turning the coffee machine on. "We have blood y'know." Angelina called after her. "I wanna see if vampires really can eat and drink proper shit." Sandra called back. "Can you make me some?" Eternity asked and Sandra gave her thumbs up to confirm. "Ugh, shut up." CC grumbled from under the sheets. "Morning." Angelina said in a cheery voice. "What time is it?" He asked in a rough voice. "Time you should be up." He just grunted and sunk further under the covers. "You wanna coffee?" Sandra asked from the kitchen. "Fuck yes." He answered. "It's in the kitchen, come get it." She teased after making the drinks. "Why Sandra, why?" He asked with slight sarcasm tinting his words. "Because teasing people with hangovers is bloody fun." CC grumbled something again, he didn't want to risk opening his eyes encase the room was too bright. "Andy, mate, please get my coffee for me, I will pay you and everything." Andy smiled slightly and picked up two of the mugs from the side, handing one to Eternity and the other to CC. "Thank you." They both said as they took their drinks. "We should probably go back to Tilette and help clean up." Angelina said and everyone nodded. "Wait, I need to know hoe Andy's leg is." CC said, rising from under the covers and cautiously opening his eyes. "It hurts like a bitch but I will live."

"The stitches still in?"

"Yep, thanks for helping me with that." CC answered with a nod and then got out of the bunk. "Holy fuck." He mumbled as he stumbled and leant on the wall for support. "CC, we don't mind if you stay here and sleep off the headache. Emerald is still sleeping so she shouldn't disturb you for a bit." Eternity said and he smiled at her before returning to the bed. "I promise I will help a little later." Everyone walked out from the bus, trying to forget there problems and stepped into Tilette. People were still picking up the mess but it was clear that it was going to take a lot of time. "Do you think it will ever be the same?" Angelina asked sadly. Jake wrapped an arm around her shoulder in support and she leant into his side. "We can remake it." He reassured. "You can remake the town but you can never remake the ones you lost." Ashley whispered to himself so quietly that no one else could here him. "Look, we start of small and we can turn it into something amazing, trust me." Jinxx said, trying to keep positive. A few girls, looking around 30, approached the group of friends with small smiles. "Excuse me, are you Andy?" A blond girl with chocolate brown eyes asked. The tall vampire nodded and she smiled again. "Thank you for ending the war." She said and the girls behind her nodded in agreement. The blond girl then leant on her tiptoes and kissed Andy's cheek. The other girls did so as well before walking away. Eternity was looking at Andy with a raised eyes brow and he looked back at her. "They kissed me, not my fault." He said in defence. Eternity let out a little laugh, the first genuine laugh since the war. Her bright smile caused Andy to smile as well and he leant down to peck her lips. "Better?" He asked as he returned to his original height. She nodded slightly. "Uh, guys, we lost Ashley..." Jake said as he noticed their friend was no longer present. "Oh crap." Eternity said before walking back to the bus to look for him.

"CC, have you seen Ashley?" She asked after looking around the bus quickly. "No, no one else is here." He said and Eternity thanked him before rushing back out and telling the others he wasn't in the bus. "We could spread out and look for him." Sammie suggested and they did so. Sandra headed towards the cave they had sheltered in for so long and heard heavy sobbing as she emerged from the water. "Ashley?" She called when she saw her friend huddled up in a corner. "What's the matter?" She asked with concern clear in her voice. "Just Andy and Eternity, they r-reminded me of what I l-lost and what I'm never going to h-have again." He said in between cries. No one had ever seen him this broken before, he had literally no control over the pain he was feeling. Sandra was unsure what to do, just sat beside him and wrapped her arms around him. "Do you want some time to think?" Sandra asked in a kind voice and Ashley nodded. Without another word, Sandra got up and left her friend to think. She informed her friends where Ashley was and that he was thinking. "Andy thinks he knows where Elwood's body is so as soon as we can where going to go find him and watch the bastard burn." Angelina said with a small smirk. Eternity was thrilled about the whole thing; she needed to sleep without the worry of her mind being taken over by the slayer. "Ashley normally just needs a little time to rebuild his strength; we just have to be considerate, which means no lovey dovey stuff when he's around got it?" Sandra said and everyone nodded and started helping clear up Tilette whilst they waited for Ashley.
