Chapter 12

Disclaimer: The following is a fan based work of fiction. Andy Biersack, Juliet Simms, Black Veil Brides, and Motionless in White do not belong to me, but to themselves. The song "Break your Halo" does not belong to me either. The address used for the Haunted House attraction is fake too, so don't go looking for it.

The last week of October had finally come, and with it the impending opening of the haunted house trap. As a courtesy to Andy, an extra warding spell was placed around the perimeter that would keep out any and all kitsunes. And on Ashley's insistence, Andy went to see a supernatural specialist about whatever it was that Juliet did to him. He went by the name of Christian Coma, otherwise known CC. According to him, Juliet used a memory prober amplified by high pitched sound that only a kitsune can produce. While under it's influence, Juliet was able to probe and dig around in Andy's memories and see everything and anything that was relevant. Hence how and why she now knows about Ileana. Which is where the extra warding came into play.

At the moment, Andy, Ashley, and John were in the middle of final rehearsal for their next performance at the Scorpion's Tale. Unfortunately, they couldn't use a warding spell on the establishment since it would pretty much defeat the purpose of all inhuman creatures mingling as one. So for the time being, he just had to keep his eyes open for signs of trouble.

"Look man, it's going to be okay. If she so much as crosses the threshold into this place, we'll smell it from the backstage". Said Ashley. At this, John chimed in.

"Yeah, Andy. And if she does try to start something, someone's bound to escort her out". He said. But Andy was only partially convinced. His biggest concern was the memory prober that was used on him. For all he knew, Juliet could be plotting something against Ileana and he had no idea when or where it would happen. Yet he also had to take into consideration that if Ileana took precautions against him, then she probably would've taken precautions against other creatures as well. Inhuman creatures cannibalized each other as much as humans do. So with this in mind for the time being, Andy prepared for the show and to sing his new song "Break your Halo". For the most part, it was a great night. The set was amazing, the crowd was spectacular, and no incidents actually occurred. By the end of it, all of the guys save for Andy were glowing with excitement and left over energy talking about going to see what parties are going on tonight.

But not Andy. Instead, he placed a hand on John's shoulder and gently directed him to the men's bathroom to talk. After making sure that it was clear, the two of them started talking.

"So anything?" Asked Andy leaning against the stall. At this, John shrugged his shoulders and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah. The kid showed up and went to work as usual. Granted, he was moving around like he expected to be jumped, ducking corners n shit; and he smelled like an overused porta potty so I couldn't get within arms length of him. I guess he thought that would mask his ghoul scent. If anything, it just made him the laughing stock of the day". He explained. Andy just exhaled a sigh of disappointment and went to wash his hands unnecessarily.

"Whatever. You did the best you could. And it hardly matters now. Soon enough, we'll have both of them taken care of". Andy explained. John now looked at him with intrigue in his eyes.

" How? What did you do?" He asked. Andy looked back as he began to dry his hands.

"Just got in contact with some people and they lent an extra pair of helping hands. Speaking of which, can you do me a favor and put up this flyer for a haunted house at your jobs message board or something? We need all the attention that we can get for this plan to work. Specifically from Adam". He explained. From within the confines of his jean pants Andy unfolded a black and red flyer for the finished haunted house that he and the guys had created. Then Josh went ahead, and through the magic of photo shop, created flyers to make the whole thing as legitimate as possible. The backdrop was black save for a pair of partially opened cellar doors that were feathered with broken chains and arms reaching out from the opening. The writing that accompanied it was in red, in keeping with the Halloween spirit. It read thusly:

New Haunted Department Store Attraction

8 PM on Oct. 31St

8th Ave, Noble Street, New York 11730

Tickets are $10

John raised his eyebrows in amazement as he reread the poster and took in the design that went into it. Granted, anyone with enough photo shop skills could make all kinds of good looking posters, but John just decided to keep his mouth shut.

"Looks great. Yeah I'll put it up ASAP and spread the word around. Are you sure you're ready to go through with?" He asked. Andy now shook his head and went back to leaning on the stall door.

"Yes I do. And I may have to speed things up a little. The chick that I mentioned before can't take no for an answer and is entering psycho girlfriend mode. It's only a matter of time before she finds Ileana and does something bad". He explained. John just shrugged his shoulders and pocketed the flier.

"Alright. Consider it done. See you around. And I do hope that it works about between you guys". He stated before he exited the bathroom. Andy was now alone to contemplate his thoughts and plan his next move. Once Ileana was his for the taking, his next priority would be to get them as far away from Juliet as possible. If what that CC guy said was true then Juliet would find a way to take Ileana out of the picture if it meant she could have Andy for herself. if not for the fact that she was a damned psycho slut, then he would have praised her determination. That being said, Andy took his phone out of his pocket and started texting Ashley and the others as he exited the bathroom.
