"TWEEK BREAKFAST IS READY!" Craig yelled while setting up the table.

Tweek gets up from the bed and walked towards the kitchen.  Craig turns to Tweek holding a cup of coffee, "Here you go, it must be painful to not have this in hell....." Craig noticed the blood on Tweek's hand when he tried to reach for the cup. "Tweek what happened with your hand?"

"Oh this!? It's nothing really." Tweek twitched. He walked towards the sink and began washing his hands. "Sooo Craig you live alone, I'm assuming."

"Yes I do. Now let me see your hand!" Craig demanded as he walked up to Tweek and grabbed his arm. "Now please."

Tweek opened his arm, "I accidentally grabbed your crucifix when I was trying to look for your wallet. It burned me and i don't know how but it left a bruise too. I didn't pay attention to it until I was waiting for breakfast. I was worried about saving you first than me."

"I'm sorry, let me get you an ice pack." Craig grabbed an ice pack out of his freezer and held Tweek's hand while placing the ice onto the wounded area.

"Thank you so much Craig." Tweek whispered him.

"Let's eat before food gets cold." Craig ordered Tweek to sit down and began to eat his food while Craig was praying to himself.

"This is really good Craig, thank you again. I really thought you were going to banish me or even worse,

Kill me."

Craig chuckles, "well you did save my life, and you're a demon so saving me, a Christian, really does mean something. I want to repay you for saving me."

Tweek lightly blushes...

Craig's house phone began to ring. Craig stood up, excusing himself and walked over to the wall, then picked up the phone. "Hello? Craig Tucker speaking."

"Craig it's me Father Maxi, Ive been trying to call your cell phone but you didn't pick up."

"Uhhh yeah I dropped my cell in a puddle when I was walking home yesterday." Craig responded.

"Do you think you can pass by the church today? There's seems to be an incident here in the back room." Father Maxi's voice was stiff.

"Yeah I'll be there in an hour or two, yeah sorry I'm kinda busy right now but I'll try to get there as soon as I can." Craig began to overthink the situation he went through yesterday every time he spoke each word.

Craig hung up the phone and look at Tweek with opened eyes.

"What happened Craig? Are you okay???" Tweek worried so much as he saw Craig hands trembling. Craig was being overdramatic about all this but it really did make his heart drop.

"I think the guys from yesterday broke into the church and I feel like they're after me or Father Maxi. I mean do you think they know that I'm alive?" Craig gasped for air.

"Craig sit down. Everything is going to be okay, okay? It was probably a prank something is trying to pull of. Just please calm down Craig!" Tweek looked at him in the eye.

"No...no...NO, nothing is okay. My life could be in even more danger if they know that I'm alive because they're obviously are the people behind all of this." Craig's tears begin to fall to the ground. " Oh man, I don't know what to do." He took a seat on the chair.

Tweek walked behind Craig and placed his hands onto Craig's shoulders. "Craig?" Tweek said with a pure voice.

"Yea?" Craig responded.

"I'll protect you Craig!" The demon said with glee.

"I know that sounds weird but you've been so nice to me. No one has never been nice to me like the way you are to me even if we just met. Plus I finally got a taste of coffee once more. You have no idea how much that means to me." Tweek leaned in his ear hoping that he would feel ensured.

Craig turned looking directly face to face with the green-eyed demon. They gaze at each other for a good 3 seconds before Craig turned and look down into his cold plate of food.

"Yeah...I'm putting my faith into you Tweek." Craig smiles.

"I know you're a good person Tweek.... But why are you a demon?" His final thoughts echoed through his head.

"Thank you Tweek, I think we should finish breakfast though." Craig said while picking up his fork. He takes a bite of the egg and he wonders again to himself, "I want to know more about his life before he died... I mean is that my position to? I mean I'm eating at the same table as a dead person who isn't even human now that he's alive again, there should be a crazy story to all of this."

Tweek was continuing eating and he notice Craig staring at him.

"Craig you alright there? R-right?" Tweek spoke up.

Craig snapped out of it.


"Yeah...I'm just thinking again."
