Church Is In Session **COMPLETED**
We'll Brave This Storm
I heard the camp bells ringing. I was told from Coma what each ring means. 1: Camp Meeting 2: Church, that's what Andy liked to call it 3: Fire big or small 4: Someone is missing 5: A Death 6: F.E.A.R. is invading 7: The Prophet has died 8: War. Then anything beyond that was just plain bad.
I sat in my bed listening to the number of rings. One...two...three...four. I hoped that it wouldn't go any further. When the rings had subsided I sighed with relief, well somewhat, and got out off bed knowing that Andy would want everyone to go to the auditorium to talk about who went missing. I joined Esther in the walk to the auditorium with everyone else. We took the seats what were left and listened to Andy talk.
"We have had an...indecent. Someone was taken from our camp about an hour ago. Louis was last seen being lead off of the camp by what someone had said was F.E.A.R.s demon." He fiddled with his hands. "I am trying my best to figure out what has happened to him but I cannot do anything right now. My heart goes out to his family and I hope to whatever god is out there that he is okay." He met my gaze and I held it for as long as I could before he looked back to the rest of the camp. "We'll brave this storm we face. Remember that you're not alone. We're all in this together." He stepped off the podium.
The crowd of people didn't move. They all talked about what their Prophet had just told them. Esther and I looked at each other. Was I the cause of all of this? It seemed like this didn't happen to often and it made me think that Shane was the reason a man was kidnapped. I stood and walked to the back room needing to talk to Andy about everything. I heard others stand and begin to walk out the auditorium. I walked in on Andy sitting at a desk with his head in his hands.
I sat down beside him and he looked up startled. "Cat..."
"I don't care what the terms of our relationship are! I'm scarred and I know you are too." I took his hand in mine.
He rubbed his thumb on the back of my hand sending goosebumps threw my body. I rested my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders. He rubbed my back gently, giving in.
"It'll be okay, we're going to wake up tomorrow and everything will be back to normal." I looked up at him, he knew what I was asking. "Catherine, you know we can't."
I looked back down wanting to just enjoy this moment. "You have no idea how much I miss you." I said trying to push back my tears.
He didn't say anything he just kept rubbing my back. I was starting to fall asleep when I felt him pick me up bridal style and carry me. I nuzzled my face in his chest taking in fist fulls of his shirt. I heard a door open and felt him lay me on what sadly was my own bed. I pretended to be asleep as he took off my shoes and covered me in the sheets. It felt like I was five again.
I felt him come close, his lips brushing my forehead. "You have no idea how much I miss you."
