A Bond Which Can't Be Broken (Meadow's Departure)

Narrator: "This world is surrounded by crime, greed, and many other sins. When people gave up hope for peace there are a group of assassins that would cleanse the world. If you're truly tormented by anyone and want vengeance, then you must call upon The Sweepers and they will take vengeance for you."

Seven is out for a walk late in the afternoon.

Seven: "It's been such a nice day today I kinda don't want it to end. To think I'll be a 10th grader tomorrow. It seems like yesterday was June and now it's going to be September tomorrow." He checks his mobile phone to see if his friends called. "I guess the guys are still away when I see them at school tomorrow, they'll ask me what I did during summer break aw man I gotta think of something I can't just say I've been pet sitting a fox demon and training with an assassin group. Oh, I'll just say that I worked during the summer and it's not a complete lie either because technically it's the truth. Hm?" He spots Meadow standing in front of the cake shop. "Meadow?"

Meadow: "Oh it's you."

Seven: "Why are you here? I thought you would be with Christiana."

Meadow: "I came here to get her favorite cake."

Seven: "Why?"

Meadow: "She's pissed at me."

Seven: "How did you piss her off?"

Meadow: "I have to go on a hunt with an old friend of mine and it'll take a while and she can't go with me."

Seven: "Hunt? What hunt?"

Meadow: "If I tell you, you can't tell Christiana at all."

Seven: "But doesn't she deserve to know."

Meadow: "No."

Seven: "Okay I won't tell her."

Meadow: "Dean and I are hunting a vampire name, Adam. I was once acquaintances with him we were on the same vampire clan that is until I left it to be a demon hunter again. When I and Christiana were at a hunt at another city Adam found us, he almost killed her. He slashed her throat and she almost bleed to death luckily a witch healed her just in time."

Seven: "Oh my God..."

Meadow: "He figured killing my hunting partner would have me back on his side but he was dead wrong."

Seven: "He thinks you and Christiana are just hunting partners?"

Meadow: "Yes, he doesn't know that we're husband and wife if he did that'll give him another reason to kill her."

Seven: "I see... When are you going on this hunt?"

Meadow: "The day after tomorrow."

Seven: "Oh that'll give you two just a couple of days to spend together."

Meadow: "I know."

Meanwhile, at the mansion, Christiana told the group some unexpected news.

Violet: "Wow really boss?!"

Christiana: "It appears so."

Angel and Shadow: "We're so happy for you boss!"

The twins hug her but she is annoyed.

Christiana: "You two know and well I'm not in the mood for a hug."

Angel and Shadow: "Sorry boss."

Tom: "Have you told Meadow yet?"

Christiana: "That bastard can f**k off for all I care!"

Henry: "She's still pissed, isn't she?"

Macy: "I'm afraid so."

Zachary: "Yeah but I know she doesn't mean that about Meadow."

Macy: "What makes you say that?"

Zachary: "I can read her like a book she's only saying that because she's hurt."

Then they heard their mobile's ring seeing that they got a request.

Henry: "Maybe this time I'll go with you guys."

Tom: "Is it a leap year?"

Shadow: "Has a pig fly?"

Zachary: "Is there a parallel vortex outside?"

Henry: "Very funny you three."

They all put on their mask and went to the meeting point. At the meeting point Austin waiting for them.

Austin: "They said to meet them here. I wonder what's taking them so long?"

Christiana: "You request us?"

Austin: "Oh crap I mean yes."

Christiana and Meadow: (Thinking) "That's the little boy's friend."

After the meeting, the group disappears and Austin notices the date on his hand.

Austin: "September 12th that should be enough time to get the money."

Elsewhere Christiana and Meadow are out for a walk as they are heading back home; he stops her by grabbing her wrist.

Meadow: "We need to talk."

Christiana: "Let go of me there's nothing to talk about!"

Nearby Eleven notices how angry Christiana is with Meadow.

Eleven: "My! My! She's pissed at him. Maybe this time I'll have her without that vampire involved."

It is the next day and Seven is running late for school.

Seven: "Crap! Crap! Crap! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I can't believe that I'm late and on the first day back no less! Argh! Why did the power go out last night?!"

He runs into his homeroom classroom.

Austin: "Yo."

Seven: "Did I make it in time?"

Austin: "Nope your late but you're lucky the teacher isn't here yet."

Seven: "Oh thank God." He sits at his desk out of breath. "Huh? Where's River?"

Austin: "Oh he's doesn't have to same classes we do. So, he's in a different homeroom class it's kinda weird this is the first year we're not in the same class."

Seven: "Oh I forgot you two were friends in middle school."

Austin: "I'm kinda the reason why he even made it to high school."

Seven: "What do you mean?"

Austin: "Well he was in middle school before I started and well, he got held back twice because he didn't show up."

Seven: "What made him not want to show up?"

Austin: "Your guess is good as mine I heard that when the school called his parents about it, they keep saying the same thing we'll talk to him we'll get him to go back but it never worked. So, when he was held back for the third time the school called his parents the first day and said that if he doesn't show up this year then he's gonna get kicked out."

Seven: "Wow that made him actually attend school."

Austin: "In some way with a little help from me."

Seven is shocked when he notices the writing on Austin's hand.

Seven: (Thinking) "Huh?! That's the date mark on his hand!"

The homeroom teacher walks into the classroom.

Ivan: "Okay students time to hand me your phones because class starts now."

Austin: "Looks like we got that same homeroom teacher this year."

Seven: (Thinking) "Who does Austin have a hit on?"

After sometime later it is lunch and Seven is about to go find Austin until his homeroom teacher calls out for him.

Ivan: "Mr. Hudson."

Seven: "Yes Mr. Striction? Is it because I was late this morning? The power went out at my uncle's house late last night when I was asleep and my alarm clock didn't go off because it rested."

Ivan: "No it's not that at all. I noticed you haven't signed up for any clubs or after-school activities. I was wondering if you could come see me after school about that."

Seven: "Oh yes sir." He left to go find Austin. When he found Austin at the school gates, he sees him talking to a girl. "I wonder who she is?" He notices the bruise on her arm when Austin rolled up her sleeve. "She has a bruise don't tell me she's being abused."

After the girl left Seven went to talk to Austin.

Austin: "Don't worry Allyson I won't let this go on anymore."

Seven: "Austin!"

Austin: "Oh hey what's up?"

Seven: "I noticed writing on your hand earlier."

Austin: "Oh that well…"

Seven: "You contacted The Sweepers, didn't you?"

Austin: "I did how do you know?"

Seven: "Lucky guess." (Thinking: "That's a lie.")

Austin: "I had to it's all I could have thought of to protect her."

Seven: "Her?"

Austin: "Allyson."

Seven: "So that was her name."

Austin: "Yeah, she's, my stepsister. She's being abused by my step-dad my mom tried to stop him but it didn't work."

Seven: "Why does he abuse his only daughter?"

Austin: "Because she's not even his daughter.

Seven: "What?!"

Austin: "Yeah it turns out that when her parents were dating her mom was seeing another man at the time, she was pregnant with Allyson. Allyson didn't understand at first why he started hitting her when he's drunk but she found out the truth later. Her dad uses to give her a toy the next day after he hits her but that doesn't mean she forgives him for what he did to her."

Seven: "Just because she was his kid doesn't mean he had to beat her!"

Austin: "I know that's why I have to end it! No matter how many times my mom stops him it'll never work so this is the only option I have!"

Seven: "I see don't worry I won't stop you."

Austin: "Oh thanks man for hearing me out."

Then Seven out of a sudden see a mix of blue and white aura around Austin.

Seven: (Thinking) "What the hell?! What am I seeing here?!"

Austin: "Are you going out for lunch?"

Seven: "Oh um yeah, are you?"

Austin: "Nah I'm just gonna get lunch from the cafeteria."

Seven: "See you in class then."

Austin: "Yeah see ya."

While Seven left the school grounds to get lunch Christiana is at the park and Eleven walks up to her and sits next to her on the bench.

Eleven: "My. My. What is a beautiful woman such as yourself is sitting here all by herself?"

Christiana: "Why do you care if I'm here by myself?"

Eleven: "Are you upset about something?"

Christiana: "It's not any of your concern."

Eleven looks at her from top to bottom in a creepy way and blushes.

Eleven: (Thinking: "Calm down! Calm down! She'll suspect something if you keep looking at her like that!") He takes her hand and holds it and rubs softly and slow in a creepy way. "You know can always talk to someone when you are upset you shouldn't hold in your emotions like that."

She looks at him suspiciously wondering what is up with him. Just as Seven is walking near the park he sees Christiana looking at Eleven in a suspicious way.

Seven: "Christiana? And who is that next to her? She's obviously suspicious of that guy. What the?! That really bad feeling I got from that guy."

He sees a black aura around Eleven and a blue aura around Christiana. Seven walks up to them and grabs Christiana's other hand.

Eleven: "What the hell?"

Seven: "There you are. Don't tell me you forgot about our meeting today."

Christiana: "Of course, I didn't forget I was waiting on you."

She jerks her hand off of Eleven's hands.

Seven: "Come on we better get going so we could set up a date for you to start tutoring me."

Christiana: "Okay."

They left and Eleven is very angry seeing Seven again.

Eleven: "That punk is here?! The last time I saw that kid was when he took my doll away from me!" He scratches his arm out of angry and he starts to bleed. "Not again! Not again! Not again!" The fingernail marks on his arm heal up on their own. "Good thing I'm a demon this wound will heal on its own."

They walked away from Eleven.

Seven: "That guy was such a creep why didn't you do anything to stop him?"

Christiana: "Didn't want to make a scene just because he was touching my hand."

Seven: "I got a totally bad feeling about that guy. I saw some kind of black light around that guy."

Christiana: "Light?"

Seven: "Hold on I think there might be something in my dad's journal."

He flips through the pages on the journal to figure out why he could see aura.

Christiana: "It said that suddenly I could feel and see other people's aura I didn't understand it at first but I learned more about it eventually. White aura means pure heart, Blue aura means a good and decent person, Red aura means a bad and evil person, and Black means a demon. A mix of white and blue means a pure person with good agenda, a mix of blue and red means a good person on the path of a bad and evil agenda, a mix of blue and black means a demon in human clothing."

Seven: "A demon in human clothing?"

Christiana: "You know the saying a sheep in wolf's clothing."

Seven: "Oh so he meant a demon possessing a human right?"

Christiana: "Exactly."

Seven: "I even saw yours."

Christiana: "What's mine?"

Seven: "Blue."

Christiana: "Are you lying?"

Seven: "I know you know me well enough to know if I'm lying."

Christiana: "I was only messing with you."

Seven: "I hope you'll be careful around that man because he's a demon."

Christiana: "Don't worry about it."

Seven: "Are you still piss at Meadow?" She stood in silence. "You have to understand he's not doing it to be selfish you know." She felt nausea then she vomited. "Hey, are you okay? Christiana?"

He touches her arm and has a premonition he sees Christiana and Meadow together. He hears a baby crying as he sees her holding a baby in her arms.

Christiana: "Meadow."

Meadow: "We made a beautiful child."

They share a kiss and Seven lets go of her arm.

Seven: "Oh my God! Your...You're pregnant! I can't believe it! I mean I'm not surprised after all the way Meadow has his hands all over you. Have you told him?" She looks at him with an emotionless stare. "You haven't told Meadow, have you?"

Christiana: "No I haven't, and you better not tell him either. It's the wife's job to tell her husband that they are going to have a child."

Seven: "I won't I promise. I know that the day after tomorrow he's leaving so you should at least be with him instead of being angry at him." He turns his head around and noticed she already left. "I hate it when she does that. I might as well go get lunch."

He gets up and leaves the park heading to get lunch then he bumps into Monique.

Monique: "Hey watch it, kid!"

Seven: "Sorry didn't see you."

Monique: "Aren't you pretty cute."

Seven: "Uh...thanks?"

He left to go get lunch.

Monique: "I don't understand why my brother wants me to kill this boy. Hm, I won't kill him I'll keep him as my personal toy with my power that is."

It is the next day and Allyson's dad catches her before she left for school.

Allyson's Dad: "Here Allyson." He hands her a bouquet of flowers. "I know I might've said somethings last night, but I didn't mean it at all."

Allyson: "Whatever...I'm going to school now..." She left the house and as soon as she is far from her house, she throws the flowers away. "It doesn't matter how many times he apologizes it doesn't make up for what he did." She looks at the burse on her arm. "That's it! I'm gonna run away tonight!"

Macy is nearby watching over Allyson hearing her reminded her of her own past.

Macy: "Can't say I blame her. You weren't the only one who ran away from home."

Elsewhere Austin went to send the money to The Sweepers.

Austin: "It's a good thing dad gave me a raise on my allowance today. God, I hope they'll come through." Just as he is walking to school, he sees Seven and River walking to school. "Hey, Seven! River!"

River: "Wow you're in a better mood today."

Austin: "Hey sorry about yesterday."

River: "It's cool I still can't believe we're not in the same class this year."

Austin: "Yeah it kinda sucks but at least I and Seven are in the same class. So how come our homeroom teacher wanted to see you yesterday?"

Seven: "Something about the clubs and after-school activities but when I went to the faculty office all the teachers were busy so I couldn't go see him."

River: "Oh."

Seven: "Yeah I was kinda worried that all of us would be in different classes."

River: "Why?"

Seven: "Because you guys are the first friends I ever made since I moved here. I miss my old friends back home but I'm also glad to have met you guys."

Austin: "I'm glad we're friends too."

While they were walking Seven spots Meadow talking to Dean.

Seven: "Meadow?"

Meadow: "Hm? Oh, it's you."

Seven: "I take it that Christiana is still mad huh?"

Austin: "It's that guy again."

River: "You know him Seven?"

Seven: "Yeah."

Meadow: "He worked with me and my wife during the summer."

Austin: "No way that hot foxy woman is your wife?!"

River: "I thought you two were just dating to think you two are married."

Austin: "So you had a summer job?"

Seven: "Yep. Oh, who is that guy?"

Dean: "I'm Dean I'm Meadow's best friend."

Seven starts to chuckle.

Meadow: "What's so funny?"

He tries not to laugh but keeps chuckling.

Seven: "Nothing."

River: "We better head for school."

Austin: "Yeah it was nice to meet you Meadow."

They went on to school and Seven couldn't stop chuckling.

Seven: (Thinking) "It's just funny to think about Meadow having a best friend. He seems like the type wouldn't have a friend. I can tell that his friend is a vampire too."

Dean: "So that's the kid with the psychic gift?"

Meadow: "Yep."

Dean: "I bet he was laughing because he can't find it hard to believe that we're friends."

Meadow: "I'm going to ignore that."

Dean: "You never seem to have a sense of humor you've been like that ever since we were kids."

Meadow pulls out his middle finger.

Meadow: "F**k you."

Dean does the same thing.

Dean: "No f**k you."

Meadow: "Sorry my wife does that already."

Dean: "She's probably still too piss at you to do that."

Meadow: "Not for long."

Dean: "What makes you think she won't be mad?" He noticed Meadow had already left. "Of course, he already left."

Later on, at night Allyson has finished packing her duffle bag to run away.

Allyson: "Good thing he's passed out from drinking."

She leaves her room and is about to be out of the house until she heard Carson getting up and grabs her arm.

Carson: "Where the f**k are you going, Zena?"

Allyson: (Thinking) "Oh great he thinks I'm my mom again."

Carson: "Zena... You bitch! You think you could come back here for forgiveness after you cheated on me! Even after you left that bastard's kid with me!"

Just as he is about to hit her Violet and Macy appeared in their mask and Macy shoots him in the heart. Seeing him about to hit Allyson reminded her of her past and she kept shooting his dead body five times until Violet stops her.

Violet: "Cut it out! He's already dead."

Macy: "Sorry... I don't know what came of me."

Allyson: "Oh my God...he's dead..."

Violet uses her flame ability to burn the dead body.

Macy: "Now you don't have to run."

The two vanished and Allyson couldn't believe what happened cried tears of joy.

Allyson: "I'm...I'm free. I don't have to endear the pain anymore."

Meanwhile, Christiana is in her room wondering why the others told her to stay then Meadow came in.

Meadow: "I know you're still mad but you should at least look at me. Tonight is my last night here and I want to make it last all night."

Christiana: "Forget it!" He grabs her wrist and ties her wrist upon the head of the bed. "Untie me, Meadow!"

He rips her clothes off and he nibbles then sucks her nibble while he pinches the other one with his hand. She held her tongue as she blushes.

Meadow: "You shouldn't hold it in. I want to hear those sweet sounds."

Christiana: "For-Forget it!"

He stops and licks and bites her ear then does the same with the other ear. Then he sticks a finger inside her and she struggles not to moan but she moans softly as she continues to blush.

Meadow: "My my you like that don't you."

Christiana: "N-N-No!"

Meadow: "Would you prefer my sword instead of my finger?"

She looks at him in the eye.

Christiana: "Y-Y-Yes Meadow."

He takes his finger out of her and takes off his clothes and makes passionate love to her that lasted almost half of the night. Afterward he unties her while she's asleep and puts on her pajamas for her. He went downstairs and is about to head out until she walks downstairs to stop him.

Meadow: "I figure you wouldn't sleep long."

Christiana: "Meadow... Don't go."

Meadow: "It took you that long to say that it's too late now."

Christiana: "Meadow! I'm pregnant."

Meadow: "Are you just saying that?"

Christiana: "I mean it."

Meadow: "How long?"

Christiana: "Almost a month."

He walks up to her and touches her stomach with his hand then he pulls her close to him to embrace her with a hug. His eyes turned red knowing the only for him to leave is to manipulate her.

Meadow: "Christiana..."

He stops hugging her and looks at her in the eyes.

Christiana: "You know that doesn't work on me."

Meadow: "I know but it can work if the strong will is vulnerable."

Christiana: "Don't you dare."

Meadow: "You're starting to get sleepy." She tries to fight it off but can't. "The last you will remember was us making passionate love to each other. The moment we stop kissing you will go into a deep sleep."

They share a passionate kiss as she cries.

Christiana: (Thinking) "N-No... I have to fight it! I can't..."

The moment their lips were apart she falls into a deep sleep in his arms as her tears are rolling down her cheeks then Dean appears.

Dean: "So that's what you resorted to?"

Meadow: "It was either that or she be kicking and screaming at me. Let me put her to bed so we can go." He takes her upstairs to their room and lays her down on the bed. He unbuttons her shirt enough to expose her collarbone and marks her. "I rather mark you when your wake." He buttons her shirt. "Je t'aime mon chat.*"

*Translation: I love you, my kitty.

He kisses her forehead and heads downstairs to leave.

Dean: "Ready to go."

Meadow: "I hope you didn't forget."

Dean: "I know I know."

He stands in place to make a clone and steps aside to create a clone of himself.

Dean Clone: "Yo."

Meadow: "Grands deux singes...*"

*Translation: Great two monkeys...

Dean: "You know what to do right."

Dean Clone: "I know."

Meadow and Dean left the mansion.

Dean: "Did you call me a monkey earlier?"

Meadow: "Yes."

Dean: "How long has it been since you called me a monkey?"

Meadow: "A long time ago."

Elsewhere Seven and his friends are hanging out at a café and Austin notices the writing on his hand is gone.

Austin: (Thinking) "Holy crap! It's gone so that means he's dead."

River: "Hey Austin are you okay?"

Austin: "I'm fine kinda spaced out a little."

Seven: (Thinking) "From that reaction that means Christiana took care of that man."

After some time they left the café and they went home. Just as Seven heads home he walks by Monique.

Monique: "We meet again."

Seven: "Yeah the rude bitch who almost made a scene just because I bumped into her."

Monique: "You shouldn't talk to me like that."

Her nails sharpened.

Seven: "Huh?"

Monique: "After all you'll be doing whatever I say you'll practically worship me."

Seven: "What?!"

She cuts him in the neck and he felt paralyzed as if he couldn't breathe. His arm is shaking as he touches the wound on his neck seeing blood on his hand. She snaps her fingers and Seven is in a daze.

Monique: "That's my power one scratch from me and you'll be under my control. Now you belong to me you're my toy now."

Seven: "Yes Monique I'm yours and only yours."

Later on, Meadow and Dean went to the train station and had one last look at the city before departing.

Meadow: "Don't worry Christiana once I kill Adam, I'll come back for you, my love."

The train departs from the city to the next destination.
