Wednesday’s POV

Waking up, we were all still tethered to the trees. Once we all were fully awake and had eaten a small ration of our food, we tracked on through the mountainside. We must’ve gone 15 miles before we stopped to rest. Beginning again, we walked on. We walked and walked until night began to fall. This continued for the next what I believe 11 days. We were almost out of food. The food we hunted was barely there. I was losing weight the fastest. Andy had more muscle left on her than I did I was skin and bone. The guys were gaunt as well. The book told us how much longer we had to go. 3 days. If we don’t make it there soon, we’re going to die. Then what help will we be to our people? Nothing. We die in vain.

Mirages appeared every so often and confused our tired minds. We walked on and on in the blaring heat with little water. We ran out yesterday. No matter how magic I used, I couldn’t make water. My head began to hurt even more than the headache that already had my head spinning. Rubbing at my head, I dropped the book of spells. It opened to a page with writing on it, writing I have not seen before. Squinting, I read, “ When you get close to the tower of F.E.A.R. you must say a spell for protection otherwise the shadows will be able to find you and take you. The star of legions charm will also protect. Keep it hidden until your fighting a shadow. In order for the charm to work, you must chant a spell. With the spell, you will then have the power to destroy the evil in the Shadows.”

Putting the book in my pocket after shrinking it, I memorized the spell and then tried to focus on staying coherent but the heat wasn’t helping at all. Around evening, we neared where the tower supposedly was located. I enchanted us with the shadow spell as well as a spell that would protect us from evil and harm. Walking on, we found a small river that had a good amount of water and some trees. The coldness of the desert was setting in, if it wasn’t the heat it was the cold. Really can’t win for losing out here. Putting on the mandatory robe, I warmed up a bit. Like I said before, it was only a blessing when it was really cold, otherwise it was horrible. Once we had all sat down and had gotten ready to eat what was last of the supplies, we put on an extra layer of clothes and then snuggled up to each other. Setting a spell to protect us as we slept, I was the last to go to sleep.




Andy’s POV


Walking, mountains, four people, desert, and something I can’t remember haunted my dreams for the last week and a half. Every time I get close to knowing what was going to happen, I woke up. Its something I’ve never had happen before. I’m not the only one who senses something is coming. Whether its friend or foe, we have to be prepared. Jinxx and Jake had a few extra beds put together for who ever may becoming. CC has prepared a few battle plans in case their Foes and Ash, Ash has been with the ladies as usual. The damn guy cant keep it to himself even all these centuries later. I remember the day the world changed. We were in a band, Black Veil Brides. We had two albums out and had been in the middle of the second when things went wrong. Apparently the guys and me knew something most people never knew even exited and were something special.

We were the legions. I, I was the prophet. I dreamt of what was coming before it actually happened. CC was the destroyer, which suited him when you thought about how he was a drummer back in the old world; he enjoyed beating the shit out of his drums. Jinxx, he was the mystic. I think I saw that coming because of his oujia guitar. Jake was the mourner; back in the old times he was really quiet but really nice. And then there’s Ashley. Ash is the deviant. He can confuse people as well as shape shift. His common shift is a wolf, because of his Native American roots. Together, we escaped F.E.A.R who wanted to use us to rule their kingdom and created the church of the wild ones as well as the camp for the wild ones.

We’ve taken in as many who fled their cities that were taken over. Supplies are starting to run low; recently we legions have had to cut back on food so the rest of the camp can eat. we ate the same amount as everyone before but now, we have two meals a day and that’s about it. CC has always been the skinniest but now, he’s just skin and bone. It’s frightening. Jinxx, the poor guy’s wife was taken about a month ago and he hasn’t quite been the same since. Ella, poor Ella. She was taken in the beginning. Jake realized she was never coming back and has been trying to accept it and not let it stop him from living his life, which has been extremely hard. She’s been gone centuries. This thing started about two hundred and ten years ago. The leader’s of F.E.A.R. knocked people out and killed the rest. They think it’s only been about 20 years since then but it’s been 210. F.E.A.R. found a way to keep us young- thankfully, that’s the only positive. I look like I did when I was 22.

The bright side of things is that One Direction died out a long time ago. Nothing against them or anything but I was not a fan of them. Same with Justin bieber. Oh my god he was a little bitch. He was the first to go. His fans and family were the only ones who cared. Every one else just shrugged and carried on with trying to protect them selves. What’s tragic is that the world when from 7 billion people and it’s probably down to 10,000 if we’re lucky. Once F.E.A.R. is defeated, I hope to restart civilization. Some people remembered everything about school that they learned. They’ve been writing it all down so once we can, we can start immediately. I have hope that we can create a society where things wont be as bad as they got before. Everyone will be accepted. Black, white, gay, lesbian, bisexual, jock, cheerleader, metal head, and nerd, all of it will be accepted.

Walking into the legion’s tent, I sat down next to Ash on a cot. He put his arm around me and pulled me into a hug. “I can tell your missing Juliet. I’m Sorry Andy but she’s gone. If we get to the tower, there’s a chance she could be dead or dying. You need to be prepared for that. You’re the leader of the legions.” Sighing I let him hold me. Ash is a good friend. Listening to his heartbeat I began to fall asleep. Maybe just maybe I could get some actual sleep and not have a vision.


I woke up sometime later to Jake shaking my shoulder. Sitting up, I realized I had clung to Ash (who fell asleep also) he waited a moment and said, “a few of the scouts noticed movement on the horizon. It may be friend or foe. Who ever it is, they haven’t moved in a while.” Nodding I got out of Ash’s arms and stretched and said, “prepare 20 men. We need the camp protected in case it is foe but we need back up also.” He nodded and ran to gather people up. I gently woke up Ash and explained. He got his leather coat that said “the deviant” on the back and put on his boots. I put on my coat, which said, “the prophet.” CC came in from outside and grabbed his coat which read, “the destroyer.” Jake finally returned with Jinxx and they grabbed their coats which said, “the Mourner” and “the Mystic.” The men put on some warm cloths and then brought a few torches and swords for defense.

As we left the gates of the camp I told my highly trusted guard Joe (who was my cousin), “no one gets in, no one gets out.” he nodded and then locked the gates behind us when we left. We walked in silence to where the friend or foe may be. A while later we arrived to where the people were. There were four of them. Two girls, two boys. Everyone looked to me waiting for a command. “Wake them,” I said with authority. Jake then walked to the people and shook their shoulders softly and backed up. The two boys and one girl sat up quickly and looked at us freaked out.

“Who are you and what do you want?” I asked with a no bullshit attitude.

One boy said, “We are refugees. We ran from the city of Angels. We escaped and traveled for weeks to get here. We seek the help of the church of wild ones.”

“Why?” I asked.

“Wednesday, she read that they would help us. It was in her book of spells. It appeared one day, right before chaos over took our building.” The boy shook the other girls shoulder and said, “She’s not waking up.”

Jake and Jinxx said, “we are the leaders of the church and we’re also the medics. Let us look her over.” The boy watched closely as Jake leaned the girl up against him as Jinxx checked her over. Jinxx gasped and stood quickly, “Prophet, she is the missing legion.”

“She’s the girl from the visions isn’t she?” Ash asked.

“All of them are. I remember now. We don’t have much time, we must return to camp if we want to save her.” I said.

The boy took the girl into his arms and held her close as the other girl held her stuff that she had been carrying. We asked them on the way back about why they seeked our help. We learned that they are from LA (they don’t know that its called that). There was a building they lived in that was controlled by F.E.A.R. apparently they had created a small society to see how it would work out. Things had been turning bad slowly and the one boy said he sensed the building would be under total chaos by the time they left. It was odd to hear about how they thought things only happened 18 years ago.

Jinxx remained silent. He was thinking and thinking about the girl. Studying her face, he would then go into his thoughts and then think for a time and then look at the other girl, who we learned was her twin sister. Andrea, being her name wasn’t the nicest of people but she had a good heart apparently when it counted. Jake told me that he could sense that she was jealous of something Wednesday had. It wasn’t the boy; the boy caring her Matt was really sweet and over protective of her. Emmett the other boy was totally into Andrea and she was into him but they both didn’t see it.

As we finally neared camp, I signaled Joe with the sign that meant friends were among us. Once inside the camp, we took Wednesday to the infirmary in hopes of finding out what was wrong with her. Her friends and me stayed behind as Jinxx and Jake began to check her over. I hope she’s okay. She’s awfully young and quite pretty. It would be a shame if this world took another young kid who actually had a chance to make a difference.
