Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild One

My speech had improved a lot the last three days since Andy and Jake constanly wanted to ask me questions. Most of which I had no answers to, but I was just greatful to have people to talk to. I would say by that time I could talk pretty much like a normal person again, if you want to consider me normal.
"Play us a song, Legion!" Jake demanded while eating some chips. All the guys seemed to constantly be eating, but Jake took the cake... and ate it too.
"Not right now! I'm trying to remember how to read!" I said holding a book five inches away from my face. Jake snorted and whispered something to C.C. They got up, walked over to me, picked me up, and carried me to my violin case.
I slowly brought a glare up to Jake. He had his hands on his hips.
"Play!" He said in a whiney tone of voice. I sighed, knowing this was a war that I just couldn't win. I played a song called Oracion, one of my all-time favorites.
Jinxx came into the room and listened closely. He closed his eyes and smiled.
After I was finished, Andy came bursting through the doors of the church in a bloody heap. Ashley ran in after him, but he was practically unscathed compared to Andy.
C.C. and Jake ran over to them and dragged their injured bodies over to the couch. Panic surged through me and my hands started shaking. It was like I was re-living the execution of my family.
"Legion, Get some bandages!" C.C. barked with a horrified look all over his face. I ran into the kitchen-type-thing. Not knowing what a bandage was, i frantically filled my arms with rags and dampened them with water. I ran back into the living room and handed everyone a rag.


We managed to stop the bleeding, but Andy was still in a bunch of pain. Ashley was okay after we stopped his bleeding.
"What happened?!" Jinxx asked in a panicky tone. Ashley took a sip of water as he was trying to calm his nerves.
"F.E.A.R.! They did this! We were in town looking for a pack of guitar strings when they started shooting up the village!"
I saw C.C. had his fists clinched so tight, they were dark purple. I studied everyone's expressions. They were all really mad.
"They said our music we use those strings for was highly unacceptable, then started shooting." Ashley continued while wringing out a bloody rag.
I wasn't familiar what kind of music they played, or that there was even different types of music to begin with. Why was it so bad? Andy was still cringing in pain. I was so confused. Jake ran over to his guitar. He put a wire in the end of it.
"How's this for music, F.E.A.R.?!" He yelled and his fingers fastly went over the strings. A loud distorted sound roared from the speaker his guitar was connected to. He played louder and louder and the riffs got faster.
Andy's pain started to go away and he was able to speak.
"I've got it. I know how we're going to rebel." he said with determination written all over his face.
"Music." I said almost instantly. I didn't realized I had said the words until Andy looked at me and smirked.
"We'll show them what good music."


After about a week of practicing, we got a song written and all the music figured out.
Ashley played the bass, Jake played the lead guitar, Jinxx played what was called the rythem guitar, C.C. was the drummer, and Andy was the vocals. I was chopped liver.
"Sorry, Legion, but this song doesn't really involve violins." Ashley said and patted the top of my head. I tried to bite him and growled at him. If there was one thing I hated, it was to be treated like a little kid.
We packed up our stuff and headed out to the center of what I called Desert Town. My white eyes were heavily lined with something called eyeliner. I dyed my ugly dead looking brown hair to a shiny black. I was dressed in leather from head to toe, just like the rest of Black Veil Brides.
I thought struck through me and I pulled my hood over my head so no one could see my face.
"Jinxx, don't they know what we look like?! F.E.A.R. will recognize us at their meetings, wont they?"
Jinxx plugged in his guitar and shook his head.
"No, while I'm at work, I always wear that black hood thing they consider uniforms. They've never seen my face before and you... well..."
His voice trailed off. A nervous smile entered his face.
"And what?" I said getting a nervous feeling.
"You'll be dressed as a boy..."
My eyes grew wide and I started breathing heavily. Jake started laughing and pointing at me.
"hahaha Legion's going to be boy!" Jinxx glared at him.
"Well talk about this later. Let's just go out and play some music!!!!"
Everyone started warming up their instruments and Andy turned on his microphone.
"Attention, Everyone! Are you tired of wearing the same clothes as everyone around you?! Are you sick of having your houses searched every week for weapons that could lead a revolt against our 'leaders'?!
People all over Desert Town had stopped doing what they were doing and started listening closely. This could actually work,,
"F.E.A.R. can't control you our entire lives people! Now's the time to stand up against them!"
People started cheering excitedly. The band started playing what they call Rock N' Roll. I loved it fromt he moment we got the song figured out. The music had flowed so easily. I felt really connected to it and like I could listen to it forever.
Andy started singing the song we decided to call "I Am Bulletproof" People all around the town were standing around us, cheering. I smiled and tears formed in my eyes.
I started Cheering myself! I was electrified! It was a happiness I had never felt before. After the song was over, I was still just completely touched by the music. I really felt like I was avenging my family's death.
It seemed the entire village was there, cheering us on. As soon as the song was over, we packed our things and took all the back alleys back to the church.
When we were about a mile away from the church, I heard a click from behind us and turned around quickly. Horror fell over me.
A F.E.A.R. member had a gun pointed right at Andy's back. As the trigger got pulled, I jumped in front of him. It seemed like time had slowed horribly as the bullet hit me in the middle of my chest. The weird thing was, I felt no pain.
"Legion!" C.C. yelled and the entire band ran over to me. I kept my gaze on the
F.E.A.R. assassin as he ran down a different alley.
"You got shot are you okay!?" Ashley yelled. I slowly looked up at him and put my hand on my chest.
There was no blood on my hand. I looked down to the ground and saw the bullet lying on the ground with it's front end smashed down.
I picked it up and studied it. I was positive the thing had hit me! I realized something and gasped. The music really had touched me. I turned to the rest of the group and help up the bullet.
"I am Bulletproof"

Here we go
Holding onto lies, holding onto ties that vanished
Cut the rope
And fall into the sky, the devil filled our minds with sadness

The world's a gun and I've been aiming all my life
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender
A warrior of youth
I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order
I Am Bulletproof

Here I go
Another prison flight, another perfect sky I damaged
Now I know
Just who created life and why I set my sights to save it

The world's a gun and I've been aiming all my life
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender
A warrior of youth
I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order
I Am Bulletproof

And as they take their final breath, I have built the truth
I'm taking over a shot to the new world order
I Am Bulletproof

Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender
A warrior of youth
I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order
I Am Bulletproof

Got something to live for, know that I won't surrender
A warrior of youth
I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order
I Am Bulletproof.
