Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild One
New Years Day (part two)
As the sun rose that morning, my anxiety grew. I started pacing around the sancuary; lost in thought. C.C. patted my back which only made my temper flare.
"Don't touch me!" I growled. He pulled his hand away from my like I was a poisoness snake that tried to bite him.
"Calm down Legion, Jesus." Ashley mumbled. I don't think he planned on me hearing him. I turned and glared at him.
"These guys locked me up for four years, killed my family, ruined my first New Years since I can remember, made me forget my humanity, and took away my chances of ever being a normal teenage girl, AND YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN?!"
Ashley and Andy were whimpering behind Jake, who was hiding behind Jinxx. I was clinching my fists so hard they were shaking.
I finally saw the first ray of sun shine through the stained glass windows and my heart rate went up quickly. I ran to my room (which was still kind of a side sancuary) and dressed my body in leather anyway I could.
I marched down to the basement and into the living room.
We were all ready, so we made our way towards Desert Town.
The entire market place was ashes. There was an eerie silence as people just sat around looking too depressed and scared to even think about rebuilding. My heart broke as I heard the sound of children; hurt and crying. I stared at the ground while the boys starte to set up.
I was about to start helping them when I saw someone..... I almost dropped my violin when I saw him.
A young man with his hood on his cloak down. He had the power to make my heart stop. He looked like a small version of Andy from where I saw him.
I heard a couple of laughs behind me and whipped around. All five men were laughing at me! I felt my face turn red and crossed my arms.
"W-what's your guys' problem?" I said and acted like I was tuning my violin. A shadow loomed over me and I knew it was Andy. I looked up at him and saw that evil smile written over his face like he was the Cheshire Cat.
"Who ya' staring at? Hmmm?" He said mockingly. I suddenly got the erge to kick him in his "little rockstars"
I turned to see if the boy was still there, but I noticed he was walking towards us! No amount of makeup could've covered up my deep red face.
He walked up to me and smiled. Ah! I just wanted to melt! I gave him a weird/creepy smile. Gosh! Why must I be so awkward?
"You play music with these guys, right?" He said and stared at my violin. I shuffled around a bit and nodded my head.
"Well, My name is Damian, What's yours?" The laughter from the Boys got louder.
"Legion." I said shakily. Damian nodded and looked over to Andy. He smirked and walked over to him.
"What have you been up to lately, bro?" Andy said to Damian, but was looking at me the entire time. Damian shrugged and looked at me again. The resemblance between him and Andy was creepy.
"So, Legion. If you ever get tired of hanging with boring old people and want to hang with a kid your age, come fine me." Damian laughed and walked back towards the ashes.
The boys were ready to go, so they started playing New Years Day. Andy grabbed the microphone and began to sing the beautiful lyrics.
"All the graves of the ones remembered, in a desert we call home.
All the slaves of the cold december find a voice to call their own."
Damian started to smile, which made me smile too.
"Stand up, we are united in the eyes of the greatest storm!
Line up, we are ignited, this world will be reborn.
In five, four, three two one!
This is New Years Day, so rise from the ashes!
Faith will find a way, Like lightning crashes!"
People's faces were lighting up and a few started to smile
"we"ll keeping marching on and on and on...
It's New Years Day! So rise from the ashes!"
F.E.A.R. members surrounded us, but for some reason, they couldn't attack us! Almost like there was a barrier of some sort around us.
"ring a bell so the serpent hears us!
Let her know that we're tried and true!
no, the beasts, they won't get near us!
and we're not scared of you!"
people around us didn't seem scared either! Some were singing along with us and completely ignoring the government cult!
"light em' up now, start the countdown in
five, four, three two one!
Let's go!
This is New Year's day, so rise from the ashes!
Faith will find a way, like lightning crashes!
we'll keep marching on and on and on!"
I got my violin ready
"It's New Year's day, so rise from the ashes."
I started to play fastly; my bow moving over the strings very smoothly. Jinxx joined in and backed me up with the second violin.
I felt a strange sensation surge through me. I couldn't stop smiling, then Andy grabbed the Mic again.
"Let the eagle fly... freedom in the night..
Let the eagle fly... Legends never die!"
The guitar solo went great. Jake was an amazing guitarist. The entire population of Desert town seemed to be singing along with us. We sang the chorus two more times and the F.E.A.R. members gave up and went home.
After that, everyone was motivated to start rebuilding the market and soon got to work.
I gave the rest of the band high-fives and Damian ran up to me looking excited.
"Did you see all those guys give and leave?!" He practically yelled.
I jumped up and down and nodded my head.
I put my violin up and we all walked back to the church.
Everyone but me and Andy went to bed since we had been up all night. We sat in the main sancuary in silence for a few minutes. Andy lit a cigarette.
"Today went well, don't you think, Andy?" His blue eyes seemed to sparkle."
"Today was amazing, Legion. We would've never thought about doing this without you." His compliments made me redden.
Sleep was calling my name and I began to yawn.
"Well, good morning Andy," I laughed. "I'm going to bed." Andy stood up and hugged me.
"I'm glad you're finally happy" He whispered and quickly walked to his room.
I sat back down in the pew and smiled, even though I was now all alone.
"I'm rising from the ashes..... thanks to you..."
