Life's Awakening

I walked out of the hut and into the brightness of day. It was hot as I looked around mystified. What had all been a deep purple last night was now a brilliant orange. The sky appeared to be on fire as the sun burned down onto the 'earth' below it. The trees streaked their way across the forest darkening the seen. I stood in awe of it. A slight breeze moved around the trees blowing the deaden leaves onto the ground. I stood looking up to the sky. I saw another figure falling somewhere into the forest far away, coasting towards the ground. I heard someone clear their throat then and looked up to see Zepher. He guided me to the center of camp where a fire pit lay. He sat down and I followed behind him confused a bit.

Zepher explained to me I was able to do what ever I wanted here. There wasn't much for me to do but I was essentially free. He mentioned that sometimes when ever someone descended, as he called it, some object from the 'human world' sometimes lingered and I could take them if I wanted to. With that thought he was gone, having to go to some meeting. I stared at him in confusion as he walked away from the camp towards a distant mountain range. I turned away from him and looked deep into the woods. I debated on going back into my little home here, or trying to make a run for it. I didn't know if I could take one more night or not. Between the rippling screams of that man and the soul shuttering cries of the beast that apparently dwelled with him, I was never going to be able to make it here.

I began walking then. The same way I had come to try to get away from this place. Soon I was engulfed by the trees and felt the heavy emotions begin to hit once again. I was died. I was never going to see Juliet again. We were going to get married next year. I was never going to see her face smiling across the aisle at me. My friends. I was never going to get to play music with them either. I'd never see what happened to the end of Black Veil Brides. I sank to my knees and let out a small cry. Everything that I had once loved and cared for had been taken from me and I didn't know how to cope with this. I was hopelessly heart broken. I was also pissed. Pissed that Matthew had taken this from me. I was also pissed that I had allowed him to take these things from me. I laid down on my back and stared up into the sky. I guess it was all about survival now. Try to find food, or well, blood. Try to find things material things that I'd like to have. I looked down at my bare chest and tried to remember what happened to my shirt. I remembered cutting into my chest and then waking up in a shower. I knew I ran to Devil's chair in the middle of the night. I remembered the snow falling and thinking how cold it was. I guess that is where I would start. Task one: Find a shirt.

Jake's POV

The pain was gone. It had been unbearable at first but then smoldered away. I felt as if I was falling. I opened my eyes and saw the ground that I was laying face down on. Twigs and leaves lay amongst the dirt for a moment I thought I was still alive. But there could be no way. I heard the trees blowing around in the wind of this place. The scent of heat swirled around me. I rolled over on my side and heard a voice give out a sigh. I looked to see Leslie leaning over top of me. "Oh holy shit! You're not dead." She spoke and I couldn't help but look at her strangely. "Well, dead-dead." She corrected herself.

I sat up and looked at the area around me. "Where are we?" I asked looking up to see the sky as it was fading from a brilliant orange into a somber purple. I had never seen anything like it before. "Hell." Bekah said quietly. CC turned to her looking confused. "This wasn't the hell I was in." He stated. "There were rivers of fire and molten lava and brimstone." He said drawing the pictures out with his hands. "Don't, worry." Bekah spoke. "That part is here to." She stated. We all took in the scenery and what laid amongst us then a thought came to mind. Where was Jinxx?

I stood up and brushed off the dirt that littered my clothes. I looked around to see Bekah and CC standing close to each other talking. Ashley helping Juliet up and Leslie looking up to the sky in wonder. We were all dead and here in the after life together. I looked to the sky too see what Leslie was gazing at. The sky had finally turned into a dark amethyst color and the stars were pouring threw the dark casting down enough light to see in the pitch. I had never seen anything like it.

At that time I had heard a rustling noise coming from the brush just to the right of us. We all turned around fearful of what we might see. Everyone moved closer together to brace for the impact. I saw Leslie's hands turn into fire and CC, and Bekah pull their wings out. We stood our ground ready for the next attack that would come. The thing in the bushes continued to move around in a jolting way. What ever it was it was caught on the branches. 'Fucking Christ!' It muttered softly. I stared forward in confusion. Juliet stepped closer to the now talking bush until she was right in front of it. Andy fell from the bush then right onto his face. Juliet stood still alarmed at what she was seeing just like the rest of us.

Andy saw her shoes first then slowly looked up to see her face. He sat up to his knees but just continued to stare at her. "Andy?" Juliet asked quietly. He shook his head and with that Juliet feel to her knees and wrapped her arms around Andy. They embraced each other for a moment then Andy pulled her back and looked at her. "Are you really here?" He asked. She nodded yes. "That means that you're... you're dead then." He said. It wasn't long before the tears started to flow. "Shit! What happened?" Andy asked wrapping his arms around her again. "We had to try to fight Matthew. He couldn't get away with this." Juliet tried to explain threw her sobs. " We?" Andy asked confused and at that moment he looked past Juliet and saw the rest of us standing there. Andy started crying again. "You guys didn't need to all fight for me." Andy said, a mixture of appreceation and saddness in his voice. "Hell yes we did." Ashley said nearly running over to him and picking Andy up into a hug.
