Moving Day

Both Abby and Blade woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs cooking. Abby knew it was Hannibal because he cooked for her every morning. This was another big reason she chose to be with him, he was kind, considerate, and caring.

Abby bounded to the kitchen and saw Hannibal standing away from her, so she snuck up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist hugging him tightly and laying her head on his back.

"Aww, baby, is you awake?" Hannibal made her giggle and turned around to face her, with her arms still wrapped around him and he hugged her tightly. She reached up and kissed him on the lips, before letting go when she heard Blade come in.

"Good morning, Blade. Did you sleep well?" Abby stood next to Hannibal and leaned her head on his arm. He was taller than her by at least a foot or two. Blade nodded and sat down at the table, then turned to Abby and began to speak.

"You know I would really like to know what happened while I was gone." He said to her and she nodded at him, and then she looked up at Hannibal, who looked away from her and out the window. It wasn't Hannibal's favorite subject, but it wasn't really her favorite subject either.

"We lost Zoë a few nights after you left, she was taken by Drake and we got to him and we were able to kill him, but he had killed Zoë, so we couldn't save her. We lost most everyone in the group because we weren't strong enough." Abby looked at the ground and then walked out of the kitchen. Hannibal followed her with his eyes. Soon he heard sniffles and left the kitchen, glaring at Blade, and went to the room where Abby was.

Abby looked at Hannibal and then down at the ground as he walked over and sat next to her. He took her in his arms and she began to cry, it was the only thing that made her cry. She felt she had made the mistake of letting Drake get away, of letting Zoë get killed.

"Abby, how many times have I told you, it wasn't your fault at all? But if it was willed by God for her to go early, then that's how it should have been. I know that sounds cruel and almost harsh, but you know I am right. I love you, Abby." Hannibal said to her while hugging her tightly and stroking her hair.

"I know, but it still hurts me every time I talk about it." Abby looked up at him with tears still running down her face. Hannibal kissed her tears away and then stood up.

"Come on, let's go and get something to eat, before it burns." Hannibal said to her, holding her hand as he walked with her back to the kitchen. Abby giggled and then ran ahead of him, getting the plates ready for the food.

After eating, Blade looked at her with an apologetic face. She knew he couldn't say he was sorry, so she nodded at him and smiled, then felt Hannibal tickle her and whimper into her ear.

"It's time to get moving. The movers will be here any minute." His whimper along with his whisper, made her laugh out loud. He tickled the back of her neck with his breath and made chills run down her spine. She nodded and they stood together and cleared away the dishes.

Abby set to cleaning the dishes and drying them, while Blade helped her to wrap them up and box them. While Hannibal chose to pack all their necessary items from the bathroom and then continued by packing the other things in a separate box he found.

They soon heard a knock at the door halfway through packing and when they answered the door they found that it was the movers. The movers helped to load up what was already packed and then finished what packing needed to be done. Soon they were done with getting everything onto the trucks and were ready to go.

Abby looked at the Honeycomb hideout that used to be theirs and began to cry again, this was her home and now she leaving. Hannibal took her in his arms and whispered into her ear.

"Hey, kitten, are you gonna be okay?" Hannibal asked her and she nodded into his chest, then wiped away her tears, and then walked away with one last look at the hideout.

This was a lot for Abby to take in, she had so much happen to her in the months that Blade had become missing, but losing Zoë was the hardest thing of all. As Abby got into the car, she looked back one more time and sighed. Hannibal came up behind her and helped her in and then shut the door. He got in the front seat and started the engine they were pulling away from the place that she had called home, and she remembered the saying that home is where the heart is and in this case it was true.

The drive to the new place was at least 4 to 5 hours, so it would be a little while before they got there. So before the drive had begun, Abby had set up her I-Pod with more music to listen to. She found her Breaking Benjamin Collection and shuffled through until she found one of her favorite songs from them, "Sooner Or Later."

The song began to play and she closed her eyes, she felt the car stop for a moment and then when she opened her eyes she saw that Hannibal had gotten out and was going to let Blade drive while he sat in the back with Abby. Abby closed her eyes and felt Hannibal pull her close and laid her head on his lap, she listened to the song as it began to play.

I want a normal life
Just like a new born child
I am a lover hater
I am an instigator
You are an oversight
Don't try to compromise
I'll learn to love to hate it
I am not integrated


Abby looked up at Hannibal and saw him just staring distantly and in thought out of the window while the scenery passed by.

Pre-Chorus
Just call my name
You'll be okay
Your scream is burning through my veins

Whenever Hannibal would be in thought like that she would curl up into his lap, no matter where they were, and then she would nuzzle her face into his neck to make him happier.


Sooner or later your gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your life away

So while he was looking out the window, she maneuvered her body to a sitting position and pulled into his lap.


You're like an infantile
I knew it all the while
You sit and try to play me
Just like you see on TV
I am an oversight
Just like a parasite
Why am I so pathetic
I know you won't forget it

Pre-chorus

Hannibal looked at Abby as she did this and then felt her nuzzle right into his neck, which made him smile. He kissed her forehead and smiled, laying his head on top of hers.


Sooner or later your gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw my life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw my life away

Much of the song was already through so Abby looked down at her I-Pod and with Hannibal, looked for a new song.


Sooner or later your gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw our life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw our life away

Throw our life away
Ooooo
Throw our life away

Soon the song ended and Hannibal made Abby hit the Ryan Cabrera Songs and he picked the song called "True."

I won't talk
I won't breathe
I won't move till you finally see

That you belong with me

You might think I don't look
But deep inside
In the corner of my mind
I'm attached to you
I'm weak
It's true
Cuz I'm afraid to know the answer
Do you want me too?
Cuz my heart keeps falling faster

I've waited all my life
To cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
It's time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true

You don't know what you do
Every time you walk into the room
I'm afraid to move
I'm weak
It's true
I'm just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know u met me?

I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
It's time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited

This is true

I know when I go I'll be on my way to you
The way that's true

I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
Its time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited

This is true

The song ended with Abby and Hannibal sleeping soundly and in each others arms, almost entangled. Blade looked back at them and then began to think to himself.

'He does defiantly care about her and I know that is something that Whistler would have wanted for his daughter.' Blade thought to himself and then continued down the road. They still had about another hour to go.

One Hour Later

"Yo, you two need to wake up." Blade yelled to the duo in the back, only to have King wake up. He looked at Blade and then at Abby, he then nodded at Blade who nodded back.

"Can you open the door? I will take Abby in and let her sleep." King said to Blade, who got out and held open the door while King got out holding Abby in his arms. Abby stayed asleep while King carried her inside and laid her down. The movers had already begun to put things inside, like the couch and reassembled the bed, after bringing the boxes full of their stuff into the new place and setting it where King told them to.

Soon the movers were gone and Abby was woken up by the noise of shifting and cursing. She got up and rubbed her head, then walked to the kitchen to find King trying to balance a bunch of dishes.

"Need a hand there, King?" Abby asked jokingly and saw him nod with a pleading look. She grabbed at least half of the dishes and set them down, while King sat the other half down nearby.

Abby began to help out by putting things in their right place, due to the fact that men have no sense of organization. Before the sun set, they had finished unpacking most of the necessary things they would need and shoved the other boxes in the corners while they got ready for bed.

Blade looked the house over and saw it wasn't too bad at all. He even kind of liked it. It was similar in structure and design to the Honeycomb but it was more modern and in much better shape than the hideout.

There was a knock at the door and when Blade opened the door there stood little Zoë. He yelled at the others and then when Abby saw her she fell to the ground.

"Is it really you, Zoë?" King asked when he came in and saw that it was her and stood nearby Abby, trying to help her up.

"Yeah, I got away before Drake got to me. He never killed me. He just made you think I was dead." Zoë had matured a little, but not much. It was her and they could tell, but who could really tell the most was Abby and she just knew it was the real thing.

"So Drake was tricking us. That's kind of weird, but I guess the guy did have something good in him." King said to Blade looking at him and then looking back to Abby.

Abby got up and motioned for Zoë to come to her, which she did. Abby hugged her tightly and showed her around the house. There was enough room for everyone even with Zoë. But what was so great was that Zoë was alive. How she had survived was what the question everyone was asking themselves was.

So what do ya'll think now? I was thinking about this story all last night and then it hit me. I know you guys aren't very intrigued right now, but I am hoping to bring some things or creatures into the story as an obstacle, and maybe bring Drake back, but for helping to fight against these new creatures. Also over the next few chapters or so I want to delve back into what happened within the two months of Blade being missing and presumed dead. I hope I can get more Blade stories written because there are not that many on here. So hopefully this will work out like I want it to. OH AND YOU ALL BETTER REVIEW!

Much luv,
