Rise From The Ashes

Five years ago, we came to LA to see Black Veil Brides play. We know they really went wild at the LA shows and we wanted to see that. Sadly we didn't know about this group coming out of no where, taken and killing people. They came after us but we ran. My cousin knew where to try and find Andy. We hope they didn't leave just yet for tour. I grabbed our friends hands and we ran like our life depended on it. We got to Andy's street and was even scared more as we watched the one person that Andy loved die beforeh is eyes. We seen him pick her up and go into the house and follow behind not to make a sound. When we did go into his house, we seen what happen to his pets and we just freak out more. It was like they knew everything about the guys. He seen us and we just ran to him, hugging him and shaking in fear. It took him a while but he hugged us back, telling us it would be okay and to follow him. He will keep us safe. He was hurting from his loss but he was strong to. We found a hotel to stay at and this was our home. He kept his promise in protecting us. There was now 21 one of us, all fans and our idols. It's people they save from The Order.

My friends and I stay with the guys for over 2 years before we started to find others. They fake their deaths so that Ryker and his followers would think they were dead and went into hiding, it wasn't until about a 3 years ago we went looking for more people. CC and Andy still suffer from the lost of their love ones. Though Cambria made it to Andy's side and they stick together, coming up with plans against The Order. I became close to CC, and when no one else could calm him down, I was there for him. We were all fighters, we trian others that joined us but we had to watch out for the ones that fake to get into our hide out. The Order was looking for us, they didn't know who we were but they know we were following the story of the wild ones. They called us legion of the black, but to us, we were just rebels trying to take our city back from them.

I was woke up by a hand covering my mouth and looked up to see that it was Andy, holding his finger to his lips to tell me to be quiet. I heard a bang and sit up and looking around. Everyone was getting out of the rooms and heading to the basement where we had made it that no one but us could get to. Once we were all inside, we turn the tvs on to see who was in the hotel. I watched the people come in and just by the clothes I knew it was The Order, they even had marks of their sign that let us know too.

"How the fuck did they find us?" CC was freaking out a bit, I walked over to him and held his hand. He looked at me and smile softly before just sighing. "Sorry, didn't mean to freak out. I'll be okay." He just looked back at the tvs.

"They didn't find us, if they did, they would have brought the nets and guns in. They only have one gun person with them and flash lights looking around. This is why I tell you all not to bring anything new into the hotel. To them it looks like a old building. They won't think people are living in it." Andy was really smart when it came to this stuff and we know he was a great leader.

"They are looking through all the rooms. We need to get some sound on and see what they are looking for here." Ashley looked at Jake and he nodded and getting the sound on for us.

"Ryker, I don't think anyone been here in years. I mean the place looks like a shit hole. Why did we even come here anyways?" Tate was looking about, he was Ryker's right hand man.

"Kai seen people in here the other night when he was snooping. I'm guessing they move out, he said there was over 10 of them but he couldn't tell if they were dead or alive. They all have band merch on too. So I wanted to make sure they weren't the wild ones that we been having trouble with blown up our trucks and that." He sighs a bit and then walked into the meeting room. I seen the guys have hid everything and sighs with releif.

"We knew they were coming, they trap one of the alarms, so we hid all the plans and got you all up." Andy smiles and goes back to watching.

"There is no one here Ryker. We should just go." His right hand man was walking out when he notice that Ryker was looking around. "What is it?"

"This use to be their hide out, I can tell because there is signs of that band all over this place. When they must have killed themselves in that building. They took with them any hope these kids following them had. From the look of things, they probably moved out of here as soon as they heard us coming. Meaning there is a group of followers, but they aren't here anymore. So The wild ones and their legion is in this city. Put the word out, any people you find is to be taken to the camp or killed." They both walked out of the hotel and left. We knew they weren't going to be back.

"That was a close one Andy. You know they will find out we aren't dead and when they do, they will make sure we are gone." CC was shaking a bit. I know he was still hurt from losing everyone from his family, girl and dog. I just hugged him and he hugged me back.

"Don't worry, they won't find us. Ashley, I need you, Jake and Jinxx to put up more cameras and alarams now. Take Chole, Jordan and Jess with you. Ella and Alice, make sure everyone else is okay. Cambria, I need you with me. CC and June can come with too. We need to start planning things out." He walked out of the room and we all did as he told us to.

We follow Andy to the room that Tate and Ryker were in just a few minutes ago. He made sure they didn't set anything up before pulling out the plans. He was looking over things before looking at us.

"We need to get weapons, anything. We need to find more people to join us to, train them. On top of that, we need to go out tonight, find food and whatever else. CC you can't freak out on me. We are going to have Ashley, Jake and Jinxx as a back up, so if we get into trouble they can come with the cars to get us out of there." He was going over which stores we needed to hit tonight. "If we find anyone, make sure they don't have The Order mark on them. Now that we know they are trying to get people in here." He looked at us and we all nodded.

"You know we aren't stupid Andy, we know what's going on now. We been doing this for five years." Cambria just glared at him. "Better be glad I love you or I would smack you right now." We all laughed and Andy just hugged her. They were really close. Though like me and CC. She was there to help Andy get over what happen with Juliet and their kids.

"I don't know what I would do without you guys, I mean to think if you five never walked into my house. I could have been dead by now." He walked out of the room and went to the trucks. We had build them up with armor and The Order couldn't break them down. We kicked ass.

Ashley and them were ready too, they were in the cars and we were heading out to the city that use to be LA but is ruins now. They made sure to set up a clear rout for us. Meaning if anything got too close to the road or stores we were at car wise it would blow up as soon as they hit it. Andy move the back of the car against the door of the store and we rush out of the car and getting everything we could from can food to medicine and so on. See with The Order making sure everyone is in camps, there is so many places that have stuff for us. Cali was huge and we did go on long trips to get things we didn't have in LA anymore. There was a really loud bang like something blown up before Ashley radio Andy.

"Man, you guys need to get out of there! They are coming, trying to break our defence we have up to protect us. Don't worry, we have our faces hidden, they don't know it's us." Andy looked at us giving us the sign to get the hell out of here after we get what we need.

"You and the guys go back, make sure they aren't following you. We will be okay. Just need to get more medicine and then we will be out of here!" He picked up an bookbag and put everything he could in it before running out of the store. "Come on, we need to go." He grabbed Cambria's hand and pulled her out of the store, CC did the same to me but I pulled away from him when I seen a small child on the ground, it looked like he was beaten badly.

I walked over to the kid, he was no older then six and he was still breathing. "CC, help me get him, he's just a kid and alive still." I looked over at him and he sighed a bit going over. We made sure to check him. He didn't have The Order mark on him, but he was from one of the camps and looked it. "We have to take him back. He's only six and he ran from one of the camps."
"The fact that he's still alive, is a good sign. But since he's a kid he's going to need a lot of help." He grabbed my hand and ran out of the store. Andy looked at us weird before he seen the kid and frown. We could see The Order cars closing in on us. "Man, we need to do some off roading shit if we are getting out of this one." CC gave me the kid to hold and I frown to see him cover in cuts and marks. Them camps were made to torture a person to death. Anyone that was an outcast was put in one, and where most of the bands ended up to. Yeah there were others that were in hiding but we didn't know where.

Before we knew it we were crashing into the building behind us and going through it to get away from The Order. I made sure to put my seatbelt around me and hold the kid close to me. CC help hold on to the kid and would just look at me making sure that I was okay. Andy drove as Cambria had her phone telling him where to go. We all worked good as a team. We soon met up with the others and they put up traps to lose the people after us. As we were driving away, we heard the bombs going off. We didn't stop until we were home safe in the hotel.

I carry the small boy to my room, CC was right behind me making sure that things were okay. I lay him on the extra bed in my room and just went looking for clothes for him. CC got Jake and Jinxx to help look over the boy for now. I knew by the time I got back from finding clothes, they would have his wounds treated and bandage up. I walked back into the room to see only CC there and looking like he was falling asleep. We didn't get much of it lately.

"What are we going to even do with him? He's only five or six, out cold and some of them wounds are really bad. It's like they were trying to kill him before he got out of there." CC just lay back on my bed and I walked over to the kid, getting him in fresh clothes before going over and laying next to him.

"I don't know, we can't let him out there. I will watch over him. I mean we do have other kids here like Gia, Ty, Aiden and Johnnie." I just looked over to see the kid starting to move a bit. "He's waking up..." I rush to the kids side, with CC right next to me.

"I know we have other kids here, but they are 8 and 13 and in between." We watched as the kid open his eyes and freak out. CC moved fast to hold him down so he wouldn't hurt himself and I just looked at the kid.

"Shhh, it's okay, you're safe here. I'm June and this is CC. Don't worry, we aren't going to hurt you." The kid fought a bit more before just calming down and looking at us. "Who are you? Where did you come from?" I know I shouldn't ask where he came from we knew that already, just by the mark on his wrist.

"I'm Alec, and I came from camp 15." His vioce was small and he closed his eyes. "I was a baby when I was put there, I'm 6 year old too." He just cried in pain, that's when Andy came into the room and with some children meds for him.

"Don't worry kid, things are okay here. No one will hurt you, not as long as me and my group is around." The kid looked at Andy and CC before his eyes widen.

"You're the wild ones, the ones that dead years ago!" I just laughed a bit and smiled at him.
"Well, it seems the guys are still well known. Told you that Black Veil Brides wouldn't die even after they fake their own deaths." I just laughed more.

"So you know us then, is that why you were out there? Or how did you even get out?" Andy was drilling the kid for questions. Cambria stood next to me and CC.

"There is a hold in the one building, they don't fix it because they like when we run so that they can send the dogs on us. The only thing about it, they tried to hide it so that others don't see it. I found it when they locked my family up there. They beat them to death and I was on the edge of it. They left the room thinking I would just die and I ran through the hole and got to the store. There were rumors going around the camp that there was a group of rebels that were fighting. We knew it was you guys, the wild ones but we were told so many times you were dead and there was just a group of rebels that follow you. To know that you're alive means we all have hope." He smiles and took the meds that Andy gave him before lay down. He was out fast so we knew it was the good stuff.

"So we putting him with the other kids or what?" Andy looked at us and I looked at CC.

"I was thinking about keeping him here. I don't think it would be good to put him with the others just yet. The kid just ran for his life, I'll talk care of him." I smile and just lay down on my bed.

"Okay fine, just keep an close eyes on him. He might have nightmares or terrors with what happen to him." He takes Cambria's hand and walked out of the room. As people might now know, yeah we care close to them like that. Andy lost everything, just like CC. Cambria and I were there for them when they needed someone the most. Even though they had there other friends with them. They still needed that one person to keep them sane. It just happen to be us. I felt CC get in bed and felt him cuddle up to me. No we didn't sleep with them if that what people is thinking. We were there for them, tried to get them to realize there is something more to life then the past. They were still hurting, I mean if you seen your love ones killed you would be hurt too, that pain don't go away and now I had two people to look over. CC would always be first but now I have Alec and I know that CC would help with him too. We will take him on like he was our kid even though the other kids looked up to us too.

---

A/N: Don't worry, the really good parts will come up soon. I mean there is going to be a war, just need to get there. So yeah you can tell this might be a interesting story and yeah don't think the guys are always going to get away. There is times that the guys will get hurt in the story, so be warn.
