Jinxx’s POV



I told Matt to carry Wednesday into the infirmary and lay her on a bed while I got Sammi to help me. Sammi came running when she found out that we found more rebels. The moment she saw Wednesday, tears prickled her eyes. I knew it hurt her to see such a young girl so sick since she lost her own sister a few years ago. I gave her a quick hug before we both began to check out Wednesday. So far she just looked severely dehydrated and sun burnt as well as starved, which makes sense because the lack of food in their food supply that they had with them. Sammi changed her into one of the dresses she owned while I prepared some medicine that would treat her sub burns. Once Sammi was ready, I handed her the medicine and went to talk to her friends to see if they noticed anything before she went to sleep.

Right as I was walking out, Sammi called out saying, “babe. She has a star.” Immediately returning to her side, she handed it to me and I inspected it. It had all the right markings and carvings that it should have as well as one that didn’t make much sense. Maybe it has a marking on it because she is the missing legion. The legion was supposed to arrive around the time we did, over two hundred years ago if I’m not wrong. That brings several theories into play 1) she was born later on meaning she is still young 2) FEAR did what they did to us and kept us young until they thought they could use our powers 3) she was made of magic and was made to be a legion and not quite a natural born, meaning her powers were developed by outside forces.

If she is in fact the missing legion, that could mean we had a chance of winning the war now. With her extra powers, we hold a small advantage over FEAR. I’m not sure if Andy or anyone else has figured that out yet but when they do, they will also be waiting for the girl to wake up more than they already want her to. From what her friends have told us, she has the power of magic and speaking with animals. The fact that our camp magically appeared in one of her books and she and her friends made the trek here to us with nothing but a paragraph about us in a book is shocking. Not many would do what she did but I understand why she did. Family is important and to protect it, you must do what you must do. Even in the face of death.


Handing the star back to Sammi, I said, “Keep it hidden until I tell the guys. Don’t tell them just yet. I will.” she nodded and returned to her duties. Once I was out of the infirmary tent, I made my way to the market place where all of the food and little amount of goods we had were traded and sold. Andy says that once we defeat FEAR, we will restart civilization and fix all that went wrong. I hope that we will be successful in this war. FEAR has more people than we do, which already give them the upper hand. We however have the strength in our heart and soul to stop them. No one deserves to have what FEAR does do to him or her. It’s horrible. They torture you and leave you to die in a cell if you don’t promise and ‘put your trust in FEAR’ they kill you. its horrible but its how it is. That’s why we rebel. No one should go through that but its how it is. But its not how its going to be. Once we win the war, we will take over and release everyone we can. No one will feel the way they do while in that hell.


Part of being a legion is promising and standing by your word to serve and protect all those of who were victimized by FEAR and you will help them through whatever they may be going through. A nice thing of being a legion is that we have a little bit more privacy but we like to be around our people and show that we are all equal, we just so happen to be the military leaders. It’s nice. No one really has a social class we have a occupation class. Meaning military leader is the highest position but everything below it is equal. All soldiers have quarters, meals and clothing. The commoners have clothing and meals as well as quarters but its not as nice which isn’t fare. If we were in a better situation, everyone would have all that they need and no one would go hungry but we aren’t in a better situation so we deal with it in hopes of one day stopping the unequal-ness as well as restoring what was once a beautiful thing.


Matt’s POV


I was torn when I gave Wednesday to Jinxx and Jake. Part of me didn’t want to give her over but the bigger part knew she needed help so I gave her over and put trust in them that they could help her. It was hard but I did it. Emmett understood what I was going through. If it were Andrea, he would be where I was but its not, its Wednesday. Andrea, oh Andrea. She’s trying to boss around people already. Nothing really changes I supposed. Either way, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone knocked her out. She’s getting really annoying. That’s the one thing I never understood about why Emmett liked her. She was mean, cruel and bossy at times, whom am I kidding most of the time. But who am I to judge. He loves her just like I love Wednesday. I really wish I told her before this all happened.

What if she died before I got to tell her how I feel? Would I have to go all of time to finally tell her how I feel? I wouldn’t be able to do it. Death would come before that. I can’t imagine a day without her. She is the reason I wake up everyday. I would have already given in to FEAR years ago if it weren’t for her. If she’s gone, what would I have to stop me? Tears slowly began to form in my eyes and then fell down my cheeks. I felt a hand on my back and then looked up to see Jake looking down on me. Sitting beside me under a covering, he hugged me and said, “I lost my wife a century ago. She was my world. I know what your feeling and I can also feel it. I’m a legion and my power is the Mourner. I can put Bodies at rest as well as people who need comfort. I know that Wednesday will be all right. She’s in good hands, in fact the best. She’s a fighter, right? Well then she’ll make it. I know it.”

His words comforted me. Maybe that’s why he said them. Knowing that someone understood me and knew what I was going through also gave me comfort. He sat there next to me for a while in silence. “She doesn’t know I love her. I was to scare to tell her before. What if she doesn’t wake up, I’ll never be able to tell her.” he hugged me and said, “Matt, she knows. If she did all that she could to get you here, to safety, she loved you. Not as a friend but as a lover. I can feel her love. It’s not just a little flame but a wild fire. She’s going to fight for you. You have to be ready to help her fight.”

Nodding, I stood up slowly and cracked my back before saying, “ where are the others?” he answered, “Andy, CC and Ashley are preparing battle plans, Jinxx is taking care of Wednesday and Emmett and Andrea are with Joe at the mess hall. Oh and behalf of the legions, I’m sorry that the food isn’t the best quality but its food and its what’s available.” I smiled and said, “its fine. I don’t mind. Andrea on the other hand, she’s a handful. Warning but she is a good person sometimes.” He laughed and rubbed his head and then led me to the mess hall to eat. Once I ate, he took me to his quarters and let me take a shower and clean up and then changed into my clothes that were clean. I felt a lot better and smelled better too.

Jinxx met up with us and asked me questions and I answered them the best to my ability. The one thing he mentioned that really hit me as odd was when he asked me if I ever noticed Wednesday being really skinny before the trip we made. When I answered yes, he ran a hand through his hand and asked if I knew anything about her home life. I knew Andrea was a lot to handle and was the complete opposite with personality and looks but what I think he was hinting at was what hurt me. Andrea is naturally really skinny, Wednesday isn’t skinny like her, and she has curves in all the right places but she had a little bit of tummy. Taking me back to the tent, Jinxx pulled at the dress, which showed how tiny she was. She was smaller than I ever remember her being. A sob left my throat as I held her hand softly. The sleeve of the dress rolled down and I saw the scars that marked her beautiful skin. Tears rolled down my cheeks more. Jinxx picked up her other arm and began to clean the wounds. Some appeared to be not much older than a few days. She never left our side, how did she get these without us noticing? We’re horrible friends!

Jake must have been using his powers because I felt calmer than I should have. Emotions that weren’t mine slowly overcame me. I gave him a weak smile; he nodded in reply which I think meant your welcome. I kissed the scars on her skin and thought, god you’re so beautiful, what would make you ever want to do this to yourself? Wednesday shifted and showed signs of waking up. Jinxx pulled both her sleeves down and then cleared the area near him so he could get any supplies if he needed some. She opened her eyes and looked around. Jinxx immediately told her what was going on (where she was and who she was with.) she saw me and calmed down a little bit. We were all sitting around talking about what led to what was going on (lack of food on the trip, Jinxx had yet to say anything about the scars or her weight). Shortly after she had been awake for three hours, Andy ran into the tent carrying a body. We all cleared out of the way. Jinxx did his best to save the person but they died shortly before Andy got to them. Andy had tears rolling down his cheeks and Jake was doing his best to calm everyone. Ashley and CC showed up and then went to call the town’s people.

The person’s name was Eve. She was a young woman who escaped FEAR but was killed not far from camp. She was taken three months ago we were told. Ashley who was usually happy as well as CC had a more quiet and sad mood and didn’t say very much. They held a short ceremony for her and Jinxx then conjured fire and set her body on fire. Her body burned and turned to Ashes as we all watched in a distance. Once the fire was out, Andy made a speech about the war was now planned to be in a few days instead of weeks. Wednesday was sad. She didn’t know the girl but she told me when we were alone that she felt a connection to the girl. She then went completely blank for a moment and then said, “the girl told me before she moved on, and I will be the one they need in the war now. She served her duty, now it’s my turn.” I didn’t really like the sound of that but I hid my feelings.

During late evening, the legions all explained what they could do. Andy said he gets Visions, that’s how he knew we were coming, Jinxx was a mystic, Jake was the mourner, Ashley could shape shift and confuse people while CC was the one with the power to destroy. Wednesday explained her powers and then pulled out the camaro and made it life size again, Andy said, “We could use that in battle perhaps, like run over some shadows and shit. Make them fucking pay.” CC was eager and asked who knew how to drive. Wednesday was the only one who raised their hands besides the other legions. She told them she was going to help them in the war whether they liked it or not. After much of her telling them yes while they said no, they agreed. Ashley tried to hit on her, which led to her punching him in the arm and a dirty look from me. He winked at me and mouthed, “Get her.”

Once we had the few plans already made, we ate and then talked some more. Andy told us that we were actually born 210 years ago but FEAR had us knocked out and then woke up when they were ready for us. I began to think. What if Wednesday wasn’t really related to Andrea and that’s why Andrea doesn’t like Wednesday. It would make sense. When it was time to say good night, I took Wednesday the infirmary where she would stay for tonight because of her issues earlier (not waking up thing) so Sammi could watch over her. I stopped and said, “Wednesday I need to tell you something.” she looked at me funny and I said after taking a deep breath, “I like you. A lot. I knew this for a long time but when you didn’t wake up today, in that moment, I knew I loved you more than anything.” When she remained silent I began to get scared. What if she didn’t like me? Anxiety began to over take me but she drove it away with a kiss.


It was amazing. Kissing back, I felt like sunshine on a cool day and not like I’m in a desert. It was beautiful like her. When we parted she said, “I like you too. I’ve liked you for a long time.” I pulled her close and said, “You are the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on. You have more beauty then the universe, please be my girlfriend. I promise for the rest of my days to make you happy and make you laugh when you don’t want to smile.” She smiled and her eyes smiled, something I haven’t seen in awhile. She kissed me again and said, “I would love to be your girlfriend if you would be my boyfriend.” I kissed her again and said, “yes.”

I rolled up her sleeve gently, she tried to stop me but I stopped her with a kiss and then looked at her arm. I kissed each and every mark and said, “I still think your beautiful and I don’t ever want to lose my best friend.” tears rolled down her cheeks and I held her close. I took her to her cot and lay down with her in my arms. It felt right. Like I found the missing puzzle piece I’ve needed.
