Rise From The Ashes

*CC's POV*

I was hanging from a chain, my arms were high above me where my feet weren't touching the ground anymore. It's been three days since I been like this. They came to the cell the next day, took June and Alec out and put them in a car. I was told they would be staying in the mansion with Ryker and his family. I didn't know if they were okay or alive, they wouldn't tell me anything. When I did fight back, I was beaten or hit with weapons. I passed out a few times and even now was finding it hard to stay awake. I could still feel the blood running down my back, sides, chest and stomach. My legs were killing me too from being hit with a bat a few times. It's like they were just toying with me. I feel like a truck hit me, and what hurt even worse was the swinging. Since all my weight was on my arms and I couldn't touch the ground. It just pulled on them. I looked up to try and get the rope off the hook, if I could get the rope lose. I would fall to the ground. They did bring more people back, had them working like slaves to make sure things didn't go bad for the camp.

I was almost free until my feet slip and I fell, the rope causing my one shoulder to make a gross popping sound. I screamed in pain and closed my eyes. "Fuck! This shit fucking sucks!" I froze when I heard the door being unlocked and looking up to see that it was Ryker. I just glared at him. He acted nice to me one night and then took the two people I love most away from me.

"You look a mess, I been wondering what Wyatt's been doing to you in here. Just found his key and decided to come check on you. You must still be upset that we took the girl and kid. Don't worry they are safe, just on lock down and not allow to leave my home. Sophie is nice to them though they aren't much talker and when they do they ask about you. I would let you video chat with them but it seems you're a lot worse then I thought." He reach up and touch my shoulder, I could have scream in pain again because I think I popped it out and it fucking just hurt. "You were trying to get free weren't you?"

"What does it matter? You're with them on taking me out, just like my brothers. So why be nice to me? Why even talk to me like we are 'friends'?" I just looked at him.

"You're not the one I want. I have a family too. So I know the feeling of having them threaten every day. With the prophet free, I'm going to worry about them. I am doing you a favor in keeping them out of here. You on the other hand, I can't get out of here. You'll just be trouble for me." He grabbed my shoulder and forcing it back into place. That shit fucking hurt!

"Fuck! Did you have to fucking do that?" I just glared at him, even in more pain now.

"I could have let Wyatt seen it. He would have beaten you to near death if he found out you tried to get free." He looked toward the door when we heard cars coming in. "Sounds like they are back for the night. I have to leave you but just know that they are safe. In my care, unless Sophie feels the need to hurt them. She's been really good so far, but it seems that Alec don't like my kids too much, he won't leave your girl's side and that is pissing off Sophie because it upsets Xander." He walked out of the building. I tried to get free again but I couldn't. There was too much blood lost and I was feeling it now.

I coughed some and just looked at the ground, it's really not fun seeing your own blood just there. I was in a lot of pain and I knew it would only get worse for me. If I made it out of here alive, I would be really shock. I couldn't hold my eyes open anymore, I had to close them and when I did, I heard the door being unlock again and someone walking it. I didn't want to open my eyes, I just wanted to sleep right now. I hear the person pull down another hook and put someone next to me.

"You know Jett, Ryker seem happen when we pulled them out. They shouldn't have killed the girls. Ryker is going to torture him so badly now for taking out his brother like that. This one I'm going to have fun with, no one takes Kenzie from me and gets away with it." I knew it was Wyatt, he ran this building, he was the one that killed Liz too, that took June and Alec out of the cell and hang me in this build to be his punching bag or just something to take his anger out on.

"Kai is keeping the one for himself. He said it's personal and now that he killed Amya, it's even more personal. He thought he was hurting before." Jett just laughed. "He's really in for it. I have the other one, keeping them apart would be fun. And I need my fun, Nia isn't here anymore because of him killing her. They were stupid to come back, and to think it was for him and now they all are here." That caused me to open my eyes and looked at them, I looked to my left to see who was hanging next to me and to my horror it was Ashley. I looked right at them and glaring.

"There is no way you have my fucking brothers." They both looked at me and just started laughing.

"Sorry destroyer, but they all came back for you. They didn't go down easy though, took out four of us. Mystic is with Kai, and Jett has mourner. Looks like you and deviant are going to be buddies for a while. As for the prophet, who knows what Ryker will do to him." He turned to Jett. "I'll talk to you later, I need to have a little talk with the destroyer about some things." I watched as Jett walked out of the building before Wyatt looked at me. He had a knife in his hand, there was no fucking way I could move and get out of the way. "We need to have a little talk. When I walk out of this building, you shouldn't be trying to get out and hurting yourself. That's my job."

"I didn't do anything, I was trying to get my arms free so I could relax them and my feet slipped." It was almost true, but wasn't the full truth I would have tried to run too.

"But that would be that you were trying to get off the hook that hold your arms above you." He walked behind me, where I couldn't see him and I fucking hated when he did this. I couldn't see what he was doing or read his face when he behind me. "You know, now that means I'm going to have to hurt you even more now. Don't you think you lost enough blood? Ryker won't let us kill you four until you beg for us to do it. Then we kill you." Before I could answer him, he took the knife and stabbing it into my shoulder, the one that popped out and Ryker fixed it. "You know it was fun branding her. You wanted to kill me so bad." I remember that, they put the 'C-15' on the back of June's hand like they did with the rest of us. Alec was force to watch and he just cried in fear, clinging to me like his life depended on me, but then they were ripped away from me and I ended up here.

"Damn it..." I try to look behind me but that was a mistake because a whip came down hard across my back for that one.

"What did I tell you about that? You one another one?" He ripped the knife out of my shoulder and I could just feel the blood running down, I think if it wasn't for my shirt, there would be more blood then there was on the ground. I really felt myself getting more tired, to the piont I was ready to pass out. But soon was hit in the stomach hard with a bat and I coughed so bad that it hurt my throat. He then grabbed me by my neck, making me look at him and just watching me as my air started to be cut off. "Don't you ever try and get free again, because I swear it will be a lot worse for you." He tighten his hold around my neck. I was trying to get free, trying to get his hands off from my neck and I was gasping for air that wouldn't go to my lungs. I heard a chain, like someone trying to get free.

"CC! Don't you dare pass out on me buddy! Fucking kick him! He's right in front of you, just kick him!" I knew it was Ashley, but Wyatt's hold got tighter at his words, I started to see black spots before everything went dark. I couldn't kick him if I wanted to because it just felt like my life was leaving me.

*Ashley's POV*

I watched in horror as CC's body went limp and Wyatt left go of his neck. I narrow my eyes at him and was pulling at my rope that held my hands together and up. "I swear to god if I fucking get free, I'll kick your ass what you did to him!" Wyatt just laughed at me and walked over to a table with different things on it. I didn't like that most of them was cover in blood. I looked over at CC, his shirt was rip apart and he had new and old blood over him. He had so many cuts on him and it was even weird that he was awake for how long he was, now he was just hanging there, like he was dead, the only way I knew he wasn't because of his breathing.

"You killed Kenzie....." I looked over at him and I seen a gun in his hand. "I can't kill you, Ryker said to torture you all until you beg for death, then we kill you. See, you might have won, but we rebuild this place and you're all prisoners now." He took the gun and I seen there was a thing on it so that it wouldn't make a sound. He put it to my leg and pulled the trigger. I yelled in pain from that.

"Damn it!" I closed my eyes and he did it again to the same leg, making the bullets go deep into my leg. "I swear I'm going to kick your ass...."

"Yeah, like you will, it won't be until your death that you come down off of them hooks. You both are here until I feel like letting you go." He walked back over to the table and grabbed something else, it didn't feel good having two bullets in my leg and what I seen him come back with. This was going to really fucking hurt. He used the thing to reach into the bullet wounds and pull the bullets out of my leg, he did that to both and then laughed seeing me holding in my cries of pain. "So who idea was it to try and kill us?" I seen him pick up a whip and something told me it was the same one he used on my brother.

"We all thought of if. There wasn't just one person." I looked at him but I could tell he knew I was lying and the whip hit hard against my back that I cried out of pain.

"I know your lying, you're protecting the person who planned it." He hit me again about three more times that I had four cuts on my back. "You better start talking because it could save you and the others from meeting the same faith as the prophet. Wait, maybe it was him. He's the one always giving orders or was it the mystic acting on his own again?" He hit me again and I could feel they were really bad now. I looked over at CC, there was a good chance I could look like him though, CC was always skinner then the rest of us. He didn't stand no chance in this mess.

Wyatt beat me a few more times before just change to the bat and hitting me with it. He got me good in my spine and I swear it was broken but it was just the pain of the wood making contact with my bone. I did hear a rib crack and he kept hitting that one. I ended up telling him it was Andy that came up with the idea to take out as many as we could. I couldn't hold back anymore, he was using a knife cutting down my arms and stabbing it through my shoulders. He really must have love blood or something because I was bleeding so much I don't even know what to do. I couldn't fight anymore and when he realized that I couldn't fight back anymore from blood lost and being in so much pain. He stopped and put things away.

I watched him walk over to CC and check to see if he was still breathing. I watched him pull out a needle and growled at him. "I swear if you touch him with that, I'm going to fucking kill you." He just laughed a bit.

"Your friend popped his shoulder out of place before I came back with you. Ryker try doing him a favor to pop it back into to place, but the damage is done, with his weight pulling on it, it's just going to pop out again. I'm just going to make sure he stays asleep, so I can fix his shoulder. The knife I stabbed through it didn't help because Ryker fail to tell me what shoulder it was." I seen him use the needle on CC before taking him off the hook and just laying him on the ground. "You five could have join us. You know that? I was an outcast. Hell I was part of Dahvie's team. Ryker didn't kill me like the others because he seen me useful. Seeing them still alive made me realize that you guys are doing what they were doing, it's just you actually plan things out. As you can tell, I'm not being hard on you both like the other three will get. It's why I keep this building locked up. Ryker comes in to check on him. He has the girl and child at his house. Sophie can be a bitch though. They force me to brand the girl, it was the start of his down fall because he was so helpless in trying to get to her."

I watched him wrap up CC's shoulder after making sure that it was in place and then just moved him to a bed that was in there. He then put a straps around his chest, waist and legs. He was making sure that he wouldn't move. "Why are you being so nice to him?"

"I was like you guys at one time. I know the pain that camp 15 brough down on people. I lost everyone that was put here from Dahvie's old group. They are all dead now, I'm the only one living. When Ryker seen that, he took me in and health me back to what I was. He then gave me to the fighters and they teach me everything. He likes CC, told me to take care of him a bit more. He don't like the rest of you. Always jumping to attack him with anything. Andy's threats pissed him off more." He walked over to me and let me down but before I could get up, he forced me on to another bed and cuff the rope that tie my hands together to it. "I have to go now, so no point in letting you hang there when he isn't. But I can't let you go over to him and unstrap him, his shoulder will never heal if I do."

"So what, you're going to lock us in here until you come back? What about food or water?" I glare at him.

"If Ryker feels you need it, which he probably will come in to check on CC. Then you get it, other then that you won't. Just hope Kai don't get bored with your friend Jinxx, he wants his hands on you and Jake too. And yeah I know your names, I just call you the stage names when they are around. Goodnight, you'll need it." He walked out of the door and locking it. I looked over at CC. That kid wasn't afraid to hurt someone. But he also has a soft heart too. Something told me it was in a way a cry for help that he needed out of this, but couldn't just walk out.

I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. I could here Jinxx and Jake's cries of pain where ever they were in this fucking camp. The only one I didn't heard was Andy, I don't even know where he would be. I was about ready to go to bed, the pain in my leg. He didn't even bother to treat my wounds. I just lay down and got some sleep.

*CC's POV*

When I woke up, I found myself strapped to a bed and I couldn't even move anything. I almost scream from pain of my shoulder if it wasn't for someone covering my mouth. I looked up and I see a girl there. She looked really nice but something told me she wasn't here to free me.
"I see why they keep asking about you, you seem so sweet and gentle then the others. I'm Sophie, Ryker's wife. He's a little busy right now so he had me come here." She help me lean up to get some water and I just looked at her. She then looked at my bandage and frown to see the blood coming through it. "If I unstrap your chest, don't move. You're injure your shoulder again...." I just nodded and she unstrap the one around my chest and carefully pulled the bandage away. I was going to scream out in pain but she cover my mouth again.

After the old one was removed, she put another bandage on and made this one a little more tighter. "Should have teach Wyatt to bandage right." She then put the strap over my chest again and pulled it back to being tight.

"Please tell me that my girl and kid is okay." She just looked down at me softly before sighing and the door opening.

"CC!" June ran to me and just hugged me. It was dark so she didn't see how much pain I was in and I hid it from her. When I looked at her, hand, it was bandage up, so it was good they were taking care of. "God I been so worry about you. Wait, what is Ashley doing here? Don't tell me they all came back." She just looked at me.

"Sadly we did for you both and Alec." We all looked at Ashley and he sit up but I could tell his hands were tie to the bed meaning he wouldn't go any where. He was injury bad to. "Andy's even here but we don't know where he is. Jinxx and Jake are outside some where in this fucking camp." He looked at Sophie and she put her hand on June's shoulder.

"We should get back to the house now. I really shouldn't have you two out here, but I know what it's like having a lover. It would kill me if I had to force to be away from him." She let June and Alec say bye to me before hurrying out the door and locking it again. I looked over at Ashley to see that she at least gave him something to drink to.

"So do you know anything about the others?" I just looked at him.

"I heard Jinxx and Jake, but they fell quiet. That Wyatt kid, he's bad but not that bad." I just nodded to him.

"I know, he just does things because it's what's he is told to do. If Jett or Kai found out. We would be as worse as the other two. My worry is Andy, Ryker really don't like him. If he's alone with Andy right now. Which he probably is because that's the first time Sophie came down since I been here other then getting June and Alec into the car. Andy's in trouble and we can't even help him. Ryker would break his own rule if Andy pisses him off enough. The one about making us beg first...." I tired to move but I couldn't it was like they wanted me to stay in one spot.

"Probably, Andy has a skill at pissing off people. Don't try to get out, he was order to make sure you stay until your shoulder is healed. He told me we are lucky that he keeps it lock and we keep it down, if Kai found out we were like this, he would come in here and who knows what he would do. We seen what he did with Jinxx." I just nods and closes my eyes.

"You know, as soon as my shoulder is heal, they are going to hang us up again. I been hanging there for 3 days, beaten and broken up and watching my own blood fall to the ground. I was trying to be smart and get free, I almost had my hands free if I did slip and it pulling my shoulder apart. It was the loudest pop I ever hard and the pain was worse then what he does to us." I just yawn some.

"We should get sleep buddy, I have a feeling we won't once you're better." I just laugh a bit.
"That is so a understatment, we will get sleep when we pass out of blood lost or he chokes you like you seen him do to me. It's not fun, hell I hate being so useless. We aren't getting out of this one Ash, not unless we die and that won't happen until we beg for it. I came close a few times them three days. Don't let the others know....that I came so close to just giving up and letting them kill me." I just closed my eyes wanting to sleep now.

"Don't worry, we all fall down, we all hit that weak piont that we want nothing more then it to all stop. I'm sure Jinxx and Jake are at the point too. But don't give up, Cambria is in charge right now with Dahvie and Jayy. They will find help and we will be out of here. Just hang in there." He lay back down on the bed before closing his eyes.

"I'll try, but really, when you're helpless, there isn't much to do but wait and waiting gets depressing..." I just turn my head away from him. I couldn't move because they wanted my shoulder to heal. It just all sucked right now. I closed my eyes and before I ended up falling asleep. I'll try to hang on, I know my brothers are here now and that gives me a chance and I know Alec and my girl is good to. I just hope who ever is saving us comes and comes fast.
"I know, but be strong." What the last thing I heard before going back to sleep.

A/N: Eh, this was horrible to write because CC is my favorite and my mind is being so evil right now as the more this story goes on. It is somewhat writing itself really and my mind is playing the 'end of the world bad guy style' right now, so that's why they are getting hurt so much. Anyways, next chapter is Ryker's again and then I might do a daul one like this with Jake and Jinxx.
