Andy was in the drivers and was driving to the forest where he had left Elwood's body to rot. Just the thought of seeing his sickly pale face again sent dead mans hands shooting up his spine and made him shudder at the sudden chill yet he kept his face straight and his focus on the road ahead, He needed to do this for Eternity. The sky was dark and a few dim stars made a feeble attempt to light the vampire's path as he sped down the roads, carful not to hit anything or anyone. Andy was the only one up, he had been driving in the dark for over three hours but didn't care; he just wanted to get this over with. His body ached and screamed for him to rest but he wasn't going to give into the throbbing headache or the sting in his bloodshot eyes. He didn't know how long it would be before Eternity would wake in a panic but he knew that when she did, he wanted to be there to calm her and tell her everything was going to be okay, because deep down he knew that everything would end happily, it just had to.
Feeling the need to sleep getting stronger, he turned the radio on and hoped the noise would keep him up a little longer. Kerrang! Radio sounded and Andy smiled as he heard Alice Cooper's song 'poison' seep through the speakers and he softly sang along with the lyrics. The song ended and was replaced by the news updates. He didn't pay much attention until the mentioning of his band. "It has been over three months since anyone has seen or heard anything about the band Black Veil Brides. Fans, friends and family members are all traumatised and devastated at the five men's disappearances along with modern day escapes drummer, Sandra Alvarenga and Jinxx's girl friend, Sammie." The female on the over end of the radio had a hint of sadness in her voice as she stated the last date and time the band had been seen. "The mother of Andy Biersack, the bands front man, was in tears after not being able to contact her son and asks him that all she wants is a phone call or letter. And in other news..." Andy turned the radio off and pulled into a car park so he could think. He had no idea what had happened to his phone but he did no that he needed to call his mum. He made a personal note to ask Eternity to borrow her phone before walking to the back of the bus where Eternity was sleeping. He looked down at her and noticed that she was fidgeting and whimpering slightly, her night terrors beginning. Andy frowned and shook her gently to save her from the fear and panic but she didn't wake. He shook her slightly harder but, again, her eyes stayed glue shut. Andy leant down so he was just above Eternity and in her ear he whispered, "Eternity, you need to wake up now." Like his voice was magic, her eyes shot open and she was looking straight into his tired eyes. "What's happening?" Her voice was groggy as she was still half asleep. "You where having a nightmare so I woke you up before it got really bad." He informed and Eternity smiled her thanks then sat up. She noticed that the sun was starting to break through the cream curtains and gave Andy another weak smile. "No point in me going back to sleep now." She muttered, though it was more to herself. She got out of the bunk and walked into the kitchen where she tried to get some water from the tap but to her strong disappointment the bus was out. "Just great." She muttered. "Okay, I'm in a bad news, let's wake the others and spread the hate." She said as she walked back towards Andy, who couldn't help raise his eyebrows and chuckle at her. "You know just how to keep the peace." She rolled her eyes at his sarcastic comment. "Seriously, CC and Jake in a bad mood is just the recipe for disaster, I swear the two could create world war three with there bitter words." He continued with a playful smirk. "Fine, I will suffer by myself." She crossed her arms over her chest and mock pouted. "If it makes you any happier, I will suffer with you." Andy offered with a large smile. "Please do." She agreed and let out a small laugh as Andy put on his best fake frown. "Any better?" He asked as he let his smile come back. Eternity just nodded. "I have a question to ask you..." Andy started.
"Shoot."
"Can I borrow your phone? I really need to call my mum." Eternity nodded and pulled the devise from her pocket. "I think you have about five minuets before the battery dies." She informed as she handed it to him and he nodded his thanks then typed in his home number and waiting for the phone to pick up.
On the third ring, the worried voice of Amy answered. "Hello?"
"Hi mum, it's me, Andy." The other end went silent for a few seconds and the vampire wasn't sure if she had hung up. "Oh my... Andy, is it really you?" She sounded as if she was crying, which she probably was. "I'm so sorry I haven't called or anything but some stuff has happened and... well I can't say anything because you wont believe me, but I promise I'm okay and I'm missing you and dad."
"Andrew Dennis Biersack, You will tell me exactly what you have been doing and you will tell me in person, I want you home as quickly as possible." Her voice was firm but quivered slightly. "Mum, there's stuff that I badly need to take care of first, but I'm coming home soon." There was a heavy sigh on the other end before an answer. "I just want you home." She whispered, making Andy feel incredibly guilty. "What about your fans, there all worried!" She panicked. "Can you post something on twitter? Just that where all okay and were coming home?" Amy agreed to do so and he informed her that the battery on the phone was low and after hundreds of goodbyes, they finally hung up. "So, how'd she take it?" Eternity asked as Andy handed her the phone. "Well, I owe her a pretty good explanation."
"So what are you going to tell her?"
"The truth: Nothing more and nothing less."
"You mean your going to tell her you're a vamp?" Andy only nodded in response with his facial expression completely serious. "What about the fans, you can't tell the whole world of our existence."
"The tour bus broke down and we where in a place where there was no signal and no many people where pacing. We decided to look around the woods by us but got seriously lost and two months later we found our way back."
"Rock-stars lost in forest for two whole months and made it out alive?"
"It's a work in progress." He admitted sheepishly. Eternity nodded slightly. There conversation was interrupted by Ashley, who mumbled something to himself when he discovered there was no water. "Morning Ash." Eternity called to him and he walked towards them, still looking ruff but better then before. They were all going to need time to heal from the gaping wound that Willow's death had left them with but Ashley had defiantly taken it the hardest. "We have no water..." He said quietly and the other two vampires nodded. "We only have blood, and were running low on that as well." Eternity informed. The mention of the crimson liquid made all of there mouths water but they knew they had to save it for when it was needed instead of when it was wanted.
Not long after, Emerald woke up and ran up to the group with the cheeky smile they where all used to seeing by now. "Hi Emerald." Andy said as he bent down to the girl's height and hugged her lightly. "Pick me up?" She asked with the same wide grin plastered over her face. Andy ignored the pain in all his joints and lifted her up to his height. Of course she loved him being so tall; it was fun for her to be up so high. Andy winced slightly as the extra weight put to much pressure on his leg but he sucked it up and smiled at the young girl's happy expression. "You know your leg is never going to heal if you keep doing stuff like that." CC said mater-of-factly as he walked out from his bunk to where the others were. "Morning to you too." Andy smiled. "Hey CC, I have none you for years and I have never heard you say something so intelligent and... caring." Eternity joked. He let out a little laugh at what she said. "I love you." Sarcasm was clear in his voice. Jake and Angelina were next to wake up and join the conversation, followed by Sammie and Jinxx; who still hadn't told anyone they were engaged. Sandra was last to wake up and when she did she had her sun glasses cover the circles under her eyes; she still needed more sleep, just as everyone else, Andy especially. "Okay, so where are we and where are we going?" Angelina clapped her hands together and let determination show in her voice. "We are going back to the forest we where in earlier and we are currently in a random car park." Andy informed before stifling a yawn. "I know where that is, why don't you take a little nap, you look shattered." Angelina offered and Andy nodded, putting Emerald down. Everyone walked to where the sofa was to let him sleep and Eternity informed them about the lack of food and water. "Well where we park the bus we can get a few bottles of water stock up on blood." Angelina said, plan ready as usual. "How are you always so prepared?" CC asked with a voice that was full of disbelief. He had pushed all bad thoughts to the back of his mind and refused to let any sadness show, and everyone could see he was doing it. "Magic." Angelina answered CC's question before getting up and walking over to the driver's seat. "How the fuck dose she even know what direction it's in?" Jinxx wandered loudly, receiving shrugs from everyone else.
Forty minuets passed before they arrived at the small gas station. "Finally!" Eternity rose from where she had been sitting. Andy had woken up a few minuets again and was just as happy to be able to get off of the bus. As they all stepped into the outdoors they felt the cold wind hit their faces but welcomed the sensation. "Okay, who wants to get the water and who wants to get the food?"
"I'll get the water..." A load of voices sounded. "Eternity and I will get the blood." Angelina rolled her eyes and the two girls went in search of food.
"I just want this all to end so I can sleep and eat and joke about and... UGH!" Eternity said as she walked next to Angelina, who nodded in understanding. "We just need to get rid of Elwood, help the guys deal with the press and clear things up with everyone who needs to know and rebuild Tilette, then it'll be over and we can go home." Angelina reassured but they both knew it would take some time to rebuild the whole city. "Shit... I just thought, what do we tell Willow's family?" Eternity's voice was shocked then a frown replaced her worried features. "I can't believe she's gone..." Angelina muttered. "She didn't deserve to die, none of the vampires did." They both nodded in agreement and looked down sadly. The two continued to walk around for a bit but were stopped by two men, dressed in grey with hoods covering their faces. They held up crow bars and demanded for the two girls purses. "Fuck you." Eternity spat. One of the men approached her and swung his weapon but before it could hit her she caught it and yanked it out of his hands. She smirked up at the now defenceless man and walked towards him. Angelina was also pacing towards the other guys and with out a sound they killed them and stored there blood in containers. "I know they where bastards, but I still can't help and feel bad." Angelina sighed then shook it off and put the containers in the black bag she was holding. "I think we have enough for now, we can always restock later on if it's needed." Eternity nodded and the two headed back to the bus where the others were waiting. Andy handed a bottle of water to the two vampires and they took them before drinking half the clear liquid. "Thanks."
"Okay, we can all go find Elwood and burn the fuckers' body." Angelina said as they all walked into the mouth of the forest and were swallowed by the vast amount of trees. Andy leaded them to where he was sure he left him to die. They passed the large white box and decided that, it too, should be burnt down. CC was the one to do it and they all watched as it burnt down and a silver-blue flame danced around the ashes for a second before burning out. "Holy crap, the flame was silver!" Jake exclaimed, looking at the pile of rubble. CC explained the unique colours that everyone had and soon they where walking again. They were soon looking down at their dead enemy. His body was decomposing, bits of flesh missing and his grey bones sticking out. Fly's' and insects crawled around it and the smell the body was emitting was disgusting. It was if someone had thrown thousands of corpses on a rubbish heap. Sammie couldn't take the overwhelming scene and turned around before throwing up. Jinxx hurried to her side and moved her hair out of the way and rubbed her back as she continued to empty her stomach of the blood she had consumed earlier. "I'm gonna take Sammie over there for a sec." He informed the others before walking away to a near by tree.
"Okay Eternity, You can end him." Angelina said as she glared at the dead Elwood. Eternity nodded and let fire spring from her fangs. She let it dance around her finger tips and, slowly, she leaned down to set fire to the slayers body but something was stopping her. A voice deep inside her head mumbled things and whispered lies, lies that she let herself believe. "Don't do it." It whispered for the millionth time. CC noticed his friends hesitant movements and asked her what was wrong but she didn't hear him, all she could hear was the sly voice that was whispering thing and drilling the words into her head. Andy placed a hand on Eternity's shoulder, pulling her back down to reality and making her jump up high. "What's wrong?" He asked in a soft yet concerned voice. "I-I..." She didn't have an answer and just shook her head before looking back down at the body and wrinkling her nose up in disgust then tried to set alight to it again. The voices came back so much louder, making Eternity feel stressed. "Fuck you!" She growled and pushed her hand to Elwood's head and watched as the flames spread. She put out the flames that where on her hands and stood up straight. "You're going to pay for that you little bitch!" Was the last thing she heard from the inside of her head before all the voices disappeared. She shuddered, that last threat scared her but she tried to ignore it and just hoped it was all over. The fire took over the slayers body quickly and a deep purple flame with green and black highlights signalled the end of the fire. "You did it." Angelina said and smiled at her friend, who returned the smile. They walked over to where Jinxx and Sammie where sitting, Sammie being asleep. "Is she okay?" Sandra asked before anyone else could. "Yeah, just felt a little sick around the body." Jinxx answered then took her in his arms and gently carried her back to the bus. "I just hope this is all over." Eternity sighed as she sat on the bus and waited for someone to say where there next destination was. "We should probably deal with the press." Ashley suggested. "Well then, it's settled, we are headed back to your home." Angelina said and jumped up into the drivers' seat. Everyone prepared themselves for another long and boring road trip...
My laptop still hates me :(
