"Ash is back!" Jade exclamed inturupting Mary-Lynnette who had been telling them what had happened the night before.

"Yeah. I thought he might have come here last night." Why hadn't he? Mary-Lynnette though to herslef.

"Maybe he thought that would be putting us in danger," said Rowan looking at Mary-Lynnette.

"You don't think he's left again do you? Because he thinks he's putting us in danger?" asked Mary-Lynnette.

"I don't know Mare. Maybe, maybe not." Rowan relpied giveing her the most honest answer she could.

"Mark, what are you and Jade doing today?" Kestral asked tryig to change the subject away from her brother.

"Well we were..."

"I've got to go," Mary-Lynnette interrupted. " I promised to see Chole today." Mary-Lynnette ran from the farmhouse just as the first tears started to fall.

What if he's left? What if he never comes back? What then? Her mind asked her.

"Don't cry Mare. Pease don't cry."

Mary-Lynnette turned and ran to Ash.

"Why didnt you go and see them Ash? They're your sisters." Mary-Lynnette asked a few minutes later as they sat on the hill above Burdock Farm, Ash's arms wrapped around her waist keeping her close to him.

"I know I should have but...I do't know. I thought they might want me to stay and I don't belong here Mare, I never have and I don't think I ever will." Ash tried to explain.

"You want me to go with you to Las Vegas," whispered Mary-Lynnette.

"You're not safe here Mare," His voice told her he didnt want to ask her to leave everything behind for him.

"What if I decide to stay?" Her voice like her eyes were questionning.

"Then I'll stay too. I'm not leaving you again. Not ever." Ash stated. Mary-Lynnette smiled. She had known he had changed but she hadnt know exacly how much until now. When she had met him they year before he had hated her because he loved her and now he refused to leave her. She knew she didnt want to lose him either.

"Okay. I'll go."

"What? Really?" Ash's face showed his suprise. It was the first time Mary-Lynnette had ever seen him lost for words and caused her to laugh.

"Really. I just need a few days to sort thigs out."

"That's okay I have a few things to sort out too." Ash smiled kissing her quickly.

"Like your sisters, I hope." Mary-Lynnette said after breaking the kiss.

"Yeah. Will they be in now?" He asked wanting to sort things with them first.

"They should be, it's...Oh no. I've got to go Ash, I promised to meet a friend half an hour ago. I'll see you later okay." Mary-Lynnette rushed then quickly kissed him before running off.

"About time Mare." Chloe said as Mary-Lynnette slipped into thier normal booth at Briar Creek's only burger bar. Mary-Lynnette glanced at Chloe, they had en frieds for years and had known each other since they had been kids. Chloe had hardly changed at all, long oal black hair and bright lavender eyes, creamy skin and lips as read as blood. Mary-Lynnette was going to mis her.

"Sorry. I lost track of the time, I saw Ash again. I have some news." Mary-Lynnette said dcided just to tell her straight off.

"Yeah?" Chole noticed the change in Mary-Lynnette voice and caught her gaze giving her a smile.

"I'm leaving Briar Creek."
