Nick walked up the stairs knocking lightly on her bedroom door waiting for an awnser. The memory flashed through his mind of his talks with ambrose about the way their wedding night would go.
"You must wait for her to invite you in. This is her space. That is scared to her."
He heard her soft voice allowing him in and he pushed the door open. She was sat on the bed in her underwear looking at him.
"Hi..." he stepped inside closing the door.
"Hi" he walked over to her and knelt in front of her. "I missed you." He began to unbutton his shirt and she helped him slip it off.
"Are you ready?" He asked sweetly placing his hands on her thighs. She gave him a nod and ran a hand through his hair.
"Always Nicky..."

The group stood watching out of the windows and waiting for it to happen. Caliban looked rather aggravated sat in the arm chair when he stood up.
"What?" He listened for a moment and ran up the stairs the group followed in confusion and he tried the door unable to open it he turned to the others.
"I fear that isn't Nick."
"What!" Jughead pushed past hammering on the door. "Cherry! Hey open the door! Cherry!"

She hummed as he lent in kissing her rather aggressively. All at once she felt the sickness in her stomach, like something was wrong. The she pushed him away touching her lip seeing the blood on her finger tips.
"What?" She stood up grabbing her robe and looking at him.
"You're not Nick." He smiled and showed his true form. The demon looked at her with a smirk and she backed against the door. "What do you want?"
"Lucifer will reward me for killing his first born." She ran to the door attempting to opened it when she heard the bangs.
"Cherry!"
"Jug?!"
"What's happening in there!"
"Jug! Get this door open!" They all attempting different ways to knock down the door and Caliban froze.
"Keep trying I'll be right back okay."
Inside the room she was pushed against the wall by her neck and the demon hissed starting to choke her. She attempted to use magic but the lack of air to her lungs meant she was unable. She had started to give up when the door burst open and in a flash of light the demon disappeared. Veronica and Betty rushed over to help her and the boys checked the room.
"Are you okay?" They sat her on the bed and she took heavy breaths.
"Yes... who... where did it go..." she looked up at Caliban who stood catching his breath.
"I had to get myself in a little trouble and get the best at banishing I had ever seen." He moved out the way any Charlotte froze at the boy stood in her doorway. His suit was covered in burns and his hair was messy. The lack of sleep had caught up with him but he still looked as handsome. Veronica rubbed her back and smiled.
"Go on." She stood up and the boys lowered their weapons.
"Is it really you?" He smiled warmly despite the two of them look like all kinds of hell they still took each others breath away.
"Oh lottie..." she covered her mouth allowing herself the cry. Everyone in the room was a little shocked on seeing her break down in this alway. He took a step towards her and pulled her close. "It's okay. I'm here now. I'm here..." he kissed the top of her head allowing her to cry. "I told you I would see you soon."

After the room had been cleaned and the emotions were calm everyone sat downstairs talking and joking with each other.
"Well I must say I am surprised. It's a now 7am. And you are all still awake." The group laughed a little and Veronica nodded.
"Well... we're all rather used to staying up at night. But now you're free Nick, will you be going to school with us." He thought about it for a moment and smiled.
"I supposed it would help keep a low profile right lottie?" She nodded and then remembered.
"Shit what do we tell ambrose?" They heard the door open and Nick scoffed.
"I guess we should think of something quick." Ambrose walked in looking rather tired.
"Morning cousin... cousins friends. Nick..." he walked to the stairs and then stopped. "Wait." He turned around and Nick raised a glass.
"Coffee ambrose?" His jaw dropped for a moment.
"Praise Satan! Nick you're safe! How did you... I'm very confused." Nick looked at Caliban and smiled.
"Our old fried here help me escape. He knew I'd be used against lottie." Ambrose gave a nod to Caliban and huffed.
"That is great news. I need to sleep as do you kids. You are welcome to stay the night Charlotte can make up spare rooms. Right Charlotte?" She gave a nod and stood up.
"I'll erm... go and sort that... I think we all need sleep."
"I'll help." The girls got up and she laughed.
"Witch remember... it will take me a second." She walked upstairs and Nick looked around.
"So how do you all know her." They all though for a moment and looked at jughead.
"You wanna take this one?" Archie laughed and Nick frowned.
"I erm met her last summer... then she started at the school. That's all." Nick sipped his coffee with a smile.
"Ah. Well how lucky she is to have such a good friend." Jughead frowned about to ask if Nick knew when she came back downstairs.
"We all good to sleep?" Nick smiled standing up.
"Of course lottie. Let's go." He kissed her quickly watching jughead from the corner of his eye. That look told him all he needed. He was the boy she hid with last summer. When Blackwood was doing everything he could to ruin the spellmans.
