*Andor's Pov*

"Andor, Emily, and I have made the decision for Emily and I to leave the rebellion. I didn't want her to see the things I know are to come. Don't worry about Maddi knowing, I wrote her a personal note. We trust no god, not Ianite, Not Mianite, and not Dianite. Just know we are still your friends.
Sincerely,
Waglington & Emily"

I read the note aloud to Jordan and the others. Maddi still hasn't left her room. This must've killed her, poor child. Jordan puts his arm around me and pulls me closer to him.

"We can get through this. Just a minor setback in the plan." He says before gently kissing me.

"Andor!" Justice runs in and she sounds panicked.

"What?!" Jordan yells, clearly getting angry that he got cut off again.

"Helgrind he's brought the Lieutenant back." She says breathlessly.

"Get ready for a show. Tom stay with Maddi. Jordan, Justice, and Steve come with me." I say and everyone obeys me. The town is dead silent, even around the market square.

"Prince Andor." Alister's cheeky accent rings through my head.

"Al." I reply giving him a slight smile.

"Seen anything against Mianite?" He asks and Jordan laces our fingers together.

"In Ruxomar, yes. But not here, my dad is no slacker." I reply giving Jordan's hand a squeeze.

"Justice, how wonderful it is to see you." Al says kissing Justice's hand.

"Steve, how's Martha?" He says after releasing Justice's hand.

"She's doing fine. But she's none of your concern." Steve replies while putting a firm hand on my shoulder.

"Well we should go. It was nice meeting you, Al." Jordan says pulling me away.

Time Skip

We get home and everything is just how I left it. Tom is still in his chair, Chrissy and Jev still not home from the seam. Capsize isn't here which is odd, nor is Skipper.

"They're with Maddi." Tom says and I nod. I release Jordan's hand as Justice starts towards the tv set. Just before she reaches mom's tapes I slide in front of her.

"Finally decide to take my advice huh." She smirks,

"That's between me and my mother, Justice. Stay out of it."

"Its a shame I've already seen them all. You think I'd bring them without watching them!" If she wasn't a girl I'd slap her. But she's female and she's my friend so I've gotta deal with it.

"Andor care to elaborate on what's going on here?" Jordan asks shoving Justice aside.

"Its nothing don't worry about it." I give him a quick kiss so ease his worries.

"Andor. Maddi, she..."

I nod at Capsize and walk up to Maddi's room. Skipper walks out as I walk in. Maddi has her head buried deep in a pillow, she's sobbing.

"Hey, shhh, its okay." I say pulling her in my arms.

"H..He wasn't suppose to l...leave m...me." she sobs into my chest.

"Here." She sniffles after a while. Maddi hands me a pice of paper then reburries her head in the pillow.

Maddi, I couldn't be more proud of the beautiful young lady you've become. You've grown so much over the past three years that its actually crazy. You'll see me again. More often then you probably think. Even though I'm not here physically, I'm here mentally. I know you're doing the right thing by working alongside Andor in this rebellion. Jasper and your parents would be very proud. I can only hope you know I'm doing the best thing for my family. Emily doesn't need to see the things or hear the words that are soon to be said and done. Just don't let any of it get to your head. Madelyn, I love you like your my own, and I wouldn't have left if I didn't know you'd be okay. Don't mourn or grieve over my loss. Be the strong independent woman I know you are.
Love Always,
Waglington

"Oh Mads" I pull her back into a hug and I let a few tears fall of my own.

"Is Justice gone?" Maddi asks pulling away.

"No. I don't think she'll be gone for a-"

"YOU AREN'T THE PRINCESS AROUND HERE AND MY ANDOR ISN'T YOUR PRINCE! HE'S MINE!" Jordan yells and Maddi frowns.

"You should go calm him down." She says wiping one of my tears.

"Probably. I'll be back." I gently kiss Maddi's forehead and go back downstairs.

"Well I know more about him than...." Justice stops when she sees me.

"I leave you two alone for five minutes and you're already fighting!" I snap more towards Jordan than Justice.

"Don't try to make it seem like its all my fault! She's over here telling me to back off." Jordan snaps back.

"I did not!" Justice yells back at Jordan.

"Don't start. Jordan I expect more from you."

"Why can I not stand up for myself! You got mad when I was around Erin! But when I get mad towards Justice you act like fickin' Dianite tied a bedsheet around my head and skull fucked me!" Jordan yells at me.

"I didn't yell at Erin, She snapped at me. I never looked at Erin bad. Not a fair comparison. I trust you Jordan, don't throw that away."

"If you trust me so much why don't you tell me what happened after we were rudely interrupted!"

I open my mouth to respond, but Maddi speaks up first.

"Why don't you tell Andor what went down between you and Tom!" She yells and Jordan looks hurt. Tom on the other hand not so much.

"And why won't either of you let me watch or even touch those tapes? What secrets are you not telling us, leader!"

"Jordan this isn't you. You're scared and this is fear getting to your head. Remember what I told you...."

"We made out." Tom blurts and I feel my heart shatter.

"Jordan, is this the truth?" I ask and I feel Maddi's presence leave my side.

"Yeah and you know what I actually liked it. At least I can be honest! But you sir have lost all my trust." Jordan says and my eyes water up. I can't cry, I just can't.

"Among all of gods creatures it is only men who kill." Capsize whispers to herself and rubs her temples.

"Andor I can't do this anymore." Jordan says looking from me to Justice.

"Jordan, no." I plead but he just shakes his head.

"That boy I wanted to fly the world with is gone. That's the Andor I loved. Not the moster I got stuck with. Whatever we had is done." Jordan walks upstairs disappearing out of my sight. I've lost him. And probably the rest of the group as well. I'm alone again. And all I wanted was to be free.
