"This is stupid." Hadrian said we saw Nick and his father coming down the desert road. "I'm sure Senka wouldn't come after him."

"What's the deal?" Date asked as he looked at us in the back seat. He looked at me smirking, "You did say at first Nick Morrow was your boyfriend, was that true after all?"

"Nick was never my boyfriend." I said. "He's like family now. That means no fighting." I said, turning my head to Hadrian and he rolled his eyes. "Hadrian, promise me."

He scoffed, "If I haven't punched him," he said pointing at Dante, "I won't with Nick. Even, I have nothing to worry about. I won you over, why should I worry? Nick can kiss my ass." he said.

"I spot a green monster." Dante said and Hadrian kicked Dante seat. Dante only flipped him off.

"Hey, no damaging my car while we're out here." Uncle Carter said. "Nevaeh will let you know when to come out."

"Whatever." Hadrian said.

I rolled my eyes and I opened the door. Nick got out the car and I smiled, running over towards him. It's been two and half months since we seen each other. He smiled down at me when I got to him and we wrapped each other arms around each other in a bear bug. He lifted me off the ground a day spun me around. I felt so much better knowing he was safe in person now.

"Mm, long time no see." he said as he set me down and I chuckled.

"Wow, it look like you grew even taller." I said. I smiled at Nick dog, Gavin, and hugged him next. "So good to see you, Gavin."

"So what's wrong now?" he asked.

"Nevaeh, who's in the car?" Nick asked.

I groaned, "That is Dante Castillo. Pay him no mind."

"Why is he glaring at me then?" he asked, grinning at me. "Something you wanna share?"

"No!" I hissed before he could think there's anything going on between Dante and I. "I told you there was someone after me, but I didn't tell you the whole story."

"Okay. Spell it." Nick said.

"Uh, well, I was some trouble a few weeks ago and I was saved, but a Lycan who was feeding from me got away. She knew what I was and there's this really powerful Demon named Senka Dashwood. He is after me, other Nephilim's, and the people I care about." I said. "I need you guys to stay with us."

"I never heard of this Senka Dashwood." Gavin said.

"He's been staying under the radar for awhile." I said. "But I need you, Nick, Munro, and Junior to all come with me." I said, mentioning Nick two brothers. "I have to go to New Orleans and Canada to get these two Nephilim. We need to stick together. I need all of you for when he decide to after me."

"Of course--"

"I don't know." Gavin said. "Nevaeh, we understand but this sounds really serious."

"It is and I know it's allot to be asking. I know it is but theses Demons will be after you soon. You can say no, I'll understand. I'm probably making this worse but contacting you." I said.

"Dad, you know her and Carter would do the same for us." Nick said and Gavin sighed.

"This Demon, you said he's powerful. What makes any of us could take him on?" he asked. "Sounds like a suicide mission."

"I'm not asking for anyone to try and take him out but to stay close to each other." I said. "Two of the boys need to go back to Charleston and watch over our family."

"Sounds like a plan to me." Nick said.

"You're one of the boys who'll go home." I said and he scoffed.

"Excuse me?" Nick asked. "Uh, Nevaeh, you're are the one who wanted me to come out here. I should at least be there with you as you go get these Nephilims."

"You need to stay safe." I said. "Junior older, he's more experience."

"That isn't fair though." he said. "Nevaeh, I helped trained you! You know I'm good!"

"Its not about being good." I said. "It's about wanting to keep you safe. A Demon already went after Dante only because he knows me and there will be more. Back at home I know my mom and sister will be safe."

"It's for the best." Uncle Carter said.

"No!" Nick yelled. "Munro and Junior can say there, but I'm coming."

"Look, we'll figure out who's staying in Charleston or not later." Gavin said and I smiled. "Yes, it means we'll help. I'll call Munro and Junior later so they can meet us somewhere."

I hugged Gavin tightly, "Thanks." I said to him. I stepped back and Uncle Carter gave me a look. I nodded and pushed my hair behind my ears, "There's one more thing."

"Okay." Gavin said.

"There's going to be someone else joining us, not just Dante." I said and cleared my throat since it's started to grow a lump. I scratched behind my neck as I turned and waved for Hadrian to get out.

The back door opened and Hadrian stepped out.

And I heard Nick reach for his gun and take the safe bottom off.

"No!" I said as I blocked Hadrian. "Let me explain."

"I thought you killed him!" Nick said.

"I lied."

"Clearly." he said. "Why? Do you remember what he did to Lori?"

"He's different." I said. "Nick, Hadrian and I are together."

"What?" he asked. "Nevaeh, move."

"Nick, listen to me. It's hard to explain but Hadrian is different." I said. "You can't make me move, just put the gun down."

"Is he--is he the reason why you never gave me a chance!" he coldly asked.

"Oh get over it!" Hadrian said and Nick fired but up at the sky. "But you know my feelings would be hurt to if the girl I loved didn't love me back the same."

"Hadrian!" I said. I groaned and turned half way to looked at them both, "Okay, past is the past. Now is now and I'm trying to keep my kind alive before I'm really left all in the world."

"He's a Demon, Nevaeh." Nick said.

"Oh no shit, Sherlock." Hadrian said and Nick rolled his eyes.

"Are you serious?" Nick asked me. "You're seriously with him? Are you crazy?"

My hands flew up and I slapped them against my thighs, "I guess so! Now that we know how crazy I am can we please not make this such a big deal. Hadrian been with us for a month now."

I was happy when I got out the shower and I feel on my motel room bed. I just wanted to sleep so badly, it was welcoming. I haven't been sleeping good ever since, I'm lucky to get five hours and I'm use to at least nine.

"No, no, no." Hadrian said as he walked in. "Up and dress, we have to go out and eat. Even sleeping is a bad idea."

"I'm so tired, I feel like I could pass out any moment." I said as he grabbed my bag and grabbed some clothes. He took out a large tshirt and sweat pants. "It's eighty six degrees out, Hadrian." I said.

"Oh." he said. "Well nothing better than dressing comfy though, Uccellina."

I chuckled, "Which is why I want my shorts and beater." I said. "And my sports bar, I've been kind of sore and they make me feel comfortable."

"They're sore?' he questioned as I sat up. I shrugged and grabbed my bag to get changed.

"Must be my period." I said. "Could explain why I'm bloated." I said as I looked at myself in the mirror after getting my bar on. I made a face, "I worked hard on those abs, I knew Uncle Carter unhealthy eating habit would rub off me. All I ever want now is meat. Oh! We should all go to a steak restaurant." I said as I looked at Hadrian. "Oh man, a nice medium rare steak sounds delicous."

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine." I said. "Girls are weird when their periods come--"

"Okay!" he cut me off and chuckled.

+Hadrian.+

I don't know what's weirder.

Having the two guys I hate the most in the world.

Or watching Nevaeh tare into her steak like a dog. In the beginning she use to eat all shyly but now I guess since we're more closer she feels comfortable to eat like a guy now.

"I'm going to get another." she said when she got up and went over to the grill to get another steak.

"Problem Morrow?" I asked Nick who was glaring at me from across the table.

"This is going to be better than tv." Dante said as he laughed.

"Who the he'll are you anyways?" Nick asked Dante. "I never heard of you before."

"I am a god." Dante said as he chewed on some chicken.

I snorted, "God of pain of the ass."

"At least I am a god, Soul Sucker." Dante said and my hands balled into a fist.

"When this is all over, I'll take care of you." Nick said as he glared at me 

"Awe, sorry Nick, but I don't roll that way." I said as I grinned and he glared at me. He picked his knife up and threw it at me. It landed an each next to my face, stuck in the wall.

"Enough." Carter said as he grabbed the knife.

"I would ask Dante to switch seats with me because his head large enough to block the hole but I'm fine." I said and Dante rolled his eyes.

"Look, you four can deal with your petty love square problem later." Gavin said.

"There is no square." I said as he took a sip of my water. "Nevaeh is mine. And I don't have time to be arguing with these two, I'm much more wiser and mature."

"You are older." Dante said. "Personally, I find it creepy your with someone of Nevaeh age."

"You just wish you'll look this good when you hit middle age." I said.

There was another knife thrown at my head.
