Iris crossed her arms as Immortal came back through the room. Ever since Seamus had walked in, and found out that she was alive, she couldn't help but think. This is the life she wants now, with Immortal. Seamus can't stop her, nor any of The Creatures.

"Sorry about that. Listen, I'm pretty tired, so let's head on to sleep. I know it's the middle of the day and everything, but I'm exhausted." Iris slowly nodded, then pulled off her clothes except for her underwear and bra, and slid underneath the covers of the bed. She thought about Seamus, how much he meant to her, and shook the thoughts aside.

Immortal was already asleep, and she took one glance behind her to see that he was faced the opposite direction. Iris covered herself with the sheets and tried to go to sleep despite all of the thoughts surging through her mind.

Once Seamus got back home, it was raining heavily. What a way to match his feelings. He stopped in his tracks and leaned against a wall. After catching his breath, he thought of Iris, how Immortal was influencing her, what Immortal was doing to her- and most of all, how Immortal had taken what he loved from him. Seamus knew that he had to get Iris back, for her own good. He also knew that he had to do something about Immortal.

As the rain poured, he stared out his dirty window. Seamus sighed, knowing that it was a mistake for them to have ever asked Immortal to join. He's a reckless asshole that's just been causing more problems. One of those problems was stealing Iris, but that happened long before he became so destructive.

Seamus opened his front door, only to hear the wind hiss at him. He needed to tell somebody, anybody. The rain, of which was slowly turning to hail, hit his back as he walked down the alleyway.

About ten minutes later, he was safe and sound in the base. The place was pretty quiet, and all that could be heard was the typing of technicians. Seamus looked out the bay window that displayed the stars around them and looked down at the earth below their space home.

"You weren't supposed to come in today." James said as he approached Seamus, who didn't take his eyes off of the stars.

"I know, I just needed someone to talk to, and I knew you were up here." He replied. "Where are the others?"

"Training, or in Ze's case, studying."

Seamus smirked. "You made him do all your reading, didn't you?"

"Seniority! He's the youngest, he has to do what I tell him." James joked.

"Second youngest." Seamus reminded, then let his eyes fall along with his smile. "Speaking of, Aleks is becoming a problem."

"I know that... but, why do think so?" He asked.

"He's reckless, doesn't care about anyone, doesn't listen! He's a little punk!" Seamus started to get angry as he talked. "The fucker thinks he can do whatever he wants! He thinks that his shit doesn't stink, and that he's the best on this team. It's his way or the highway, but we're supposed to be in this together." He sighed, trying to cool back down. "We always have been. We never lied to each other... Iris never lied to me."

"Well, on the bright side, you haven't said her name since she died, so you're making a turn around." He weakly tried to reassure.

"It's because she's not dead." He mumbled.

James eyes went big from disbelief. He had to do a double take to make sure Seamus was serious, because there was no way she could actually be alive.

"WHAT?" He freaked. "Are you serious?"

"Shh! I don't want other people to know, and yes, I'm very serious. She's been hiding out with Aleks."

"That prick! Does he have any clue how hard it was for all of us? Cierra cried for a week straight, half of us didn't even leave our rooms!"

"I know, trust me, I know." Seamus looked down at the ground and crossed his arms. "We have to do something about it, but what exactly that something is, I have no clue." The tears started to well up in his eyes as he continued. "I miss her. I can't stand the thought of her in his arms, living with him, fighting with him, sleeping with him. I have to get her back, and make her realize she doesn't really love him. She loves me. She always has, and I won't let that change. We gotta do something, for Iris' sake."

Seamus had yet to shake the rain off, along with the sorrow that had been lingering. He looked down with his soaked hair drooping in front of his eyes. Then, he glanced back up at James, who nodded quickly. His eyes were inflamed with anger. Seamus knew that the only way to get the one that belonged to him back into his arms, was to get Aleks out of The Creatures.

Arianna and I wrote & edited this one, since Angel is MIA at the moment! One To The Next One by Escape The Fate as well as a picture of Cierra/Sapphire is in the sidebar/info. For anyone that didn't get the memo, we changed Sapphire's real name from Sophia to Cierra. Just felt like it fit better, so sorry if that confused anyone! Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you enjoyed! Please remember to comment, vote, follow, and all that magical stuff :D Thanks for all the amazing feedback! We love y'all <3
