Seeing so much pain in the one he loved was horrible for Andy. He couldn't get his head around it, Eternity had a son and he was half slayer. He didn't even know that was possible until then. He walked around the most broken part of Tilette, stumbling over rocks and bricks every so often and looked at the remains of the buildings that used to stand tall and proud. He shook his head in hope it would put some order in it, but that didn't happen. He was trying to think up things to say or do that could help Eternity but nothing was coming to mind.

After a few more minuets of walking about and failing to figure the situation out, Andy turned to walk back to his where he left CC and Eternity. He saw them, CC sitting on the bench with Eternity lying down, head resting in his lap as he smoothed down her hair and softly spoke to her. They hadn't noticed Andy's presence and he made sure he stayed unheard and listened to there conversation.

"Every story has its complications and disasters but always had an upside. You remember that old story we used to know? The one I used to tell you when you got scared?" Eternity nodded. "Well I promise you that it was all true."

"Thanks Christian." Andy took a step forward and the other two turned their heads to look at him. "Hey." He whispered and CC gently moved Eternity's head so he could get up. He started to walk away but before he did he quietly mumbled something to Andy. "Promise me you won't leave her side, not even for a second. She needs you, man." He started walking away but Andy caught his arm and pulled him back. "I promise." He said and CC nodded before going to find the others. "Hi." Andy greeted as he took a seat next to Eternity who was now sitting up. "Hi." She whispered. There where trails down her cheeks from the tears that had now ceased. "Tell me it'll be okay" Eternity leant her head on his shoulder and his kissed her forehead then told her it would be fine. "We were so close to getting our lives back. There is always something getting in the way though. Its lie the world has something personal against me and is just going to keep on making bad things happen to me. I just wanna live a happy life."

"This is just one last hurdle. We will sort this out together and you have the others to help you out as well."

"Did CC tell you what happened?"

"yeah."

"I Don't want that kid to be alive, I didn't even want him to be born. I just couldn't' bring myself to kill him I was so young. I still wouldn't be able to kill him. He was no different from his father, a fucking bastard who will take advantage of you the first chance he get but, he's my son, my fucking son. I gave him to his father, thinking there was no chance of him surviving. I felt so guilty, like a murderer or something, I don't know what I would have done if Christian wasn't there for me. I guess now I know he's not dead the guilt isn't so bad but now... I just don't know. He's half vampire, that's never happened before with anyone. I wish he would just fuck off." There was a long silence, Andy had no idea what to say, he was never really that good with anything like this.

The sun was starting to rise and Eternity knew she had to see her son again; there was so much at stake and she couldn't just ignore it. "I'm just going to go get something." She informed Andy as she got up from her seat. "Can I come?" He asked, getting up and walking besides her, matching her unusually fast pace. "I think I just need some air." She kicked herself mentally for her stupid answer. "Where outside." Andy knew there was something going on, he didn't like it one bit. He had made a promise to keep Eternity in his sight and although he knew she would hate it, he wasn't going to break that promise. "Look, I just need to think."

"Eternity, I'm not stupid."

"What do you think I'm gonna do, huh?" Stress and anger flowed through her voice.

"Something that's going to get you into a lot of trouble." His voice was smooth but he couldn't help and sound worried.

"Why do you always think of yourself as a babysitter? I don't need protecting; I'm old enough to look after myself!"

"I don't care, I'm not letting you walk around by yourself, it's not safe."

"I can't believe you! You think that just bec-" She was interrupted by Andy's soft lips pressing firmly against hers. She didn't know how to react, Just stood there and slowly started kissing back. He pulled away and looked down into Eternity's distressed eyes with his worry plastered over his face. "I understand that you don't want to be watched over and I promise you I'm not doing it to make you feel like a kid, I'm doing it because I can't trust anyone or anything when there around someone as precious as you. I know that you're strong and you can get through this but that still wont stop me from doing all that's in my power to keep you safe. I just wanna come with you."

"I can't let you come with me."

"Why not? I don't understand."

"I just can't."

"Will you at least tell me where your going, why you're going there and why I cant come?"

"I'm just going out of Tilette for a few..."

"That's out of the question. You're safe here and you're in danger out there. Simple as."

"You don't understand, it's just going to be a few minuets a..."

"A few minuets is all someone needs to slit your throat." Eternity looked at him, she looked genuinely scared.

"I have to go." He shook his head as he held her arms and looked down on her. He couldn't understand what she was talking about, all he knew is if he didn't find out soon, Eternity was gong to get into a lot of trouble and he wouldn't be able to get it under control quick enough to get them both out alive.

"Eternity, tell me why you want to go out there. Tell me why I can't come."

"He said that if I didn't meet him alone he would kill every single one of you and then me."
