Rise From The Ashes

I was laying in bed, holding June closesly to me and trying to go to sleep again. I woke up from a weird feeling of being watched but it was nothing because we were always being watched. Not here in the hotel but when we went out to get things ready for this plan. I was about asleep until I hear whimpering coming from Alec's bed, he was 8 years old now and to think that two years past. Jinxx, Ashley and Chloe were back up and ready to work. Though there was so much to do. I sit up in bed and just looked over to see him having one of his nightmare. I got out of bed and walked over to him, trying to wake him up.

"Hey buddy, come on, time to wake up. Relax, it's a nightmare." I shake him a wake and he sat up fast and just looking around before he saw me and just wrapped his arms around me.

"They won't stop, they always keep reminding me what happen in that place. Why won't they go away? Why won't they? Please just make them go away...." He was crying and really upset. This was a normal night for me and June. We offer to take care of the boy, it's just we didn't know how much care we needed. No one else would have put up with this. So it was just me and June. At least his day time fears stopped. Now it was just the night terrors and bad dreams.

"Alec, shh little buddy, you're okay. No one is ever going to hurt you again." I just hugged him and sighs a bit. It's always been like this and because of these nightmares and terrors, we didn't want to put him with the other kids. I was just holding him and rocking back and forward with him until I feel someone's hand on my shoulder and looked up to see that it was June. I smiled a bit before watching her sit on the other side of Alec and just rubbing his back.

"It's okay sweetie, we're here and no one will ever hurt you again. Just go back to sleep or try to." He just nods after June said that and then hugged us both before going back to laying down. It didn't take him long to fall asleep. June looked at me and sighs a bit. "I don't know if I can keep doing this. We really need to do something about him. Though I rather put up with the nightmares then terrors." She sighed more and I just pulled her into my arms after I stood up and just hold her close to me.

"I know, hopefully we can do something about all of this. Andy has some big pains, but it's been two years now that we been building up to get the things we need for them." I pulled her back over to the bed and lay down with her. I just kept holding her, refusing to let her go. "Things will get better, they have to. Dahvie and Andy are always working so late on ideas, just throwing them back at each other and seeing what they can add or take away. It takes times and we all know we have that as long as they don't find us."

"I know, so what do we have to do now? I mean I'm sure we have some kind of mission to go out on." She hated that we always had to go out at times, though it was our turn to get food and stuff we needed, like blankets or clothes or things to keep the kids busy. She hated it more when I went and did things myself without her. I was planning on doing that, just taking Ashley with me. But I know she was awake now, and wouldn't be going back to sleep anytime soon to make sure I didn't leave without her.

"Yeah, it's our turn to take one of the trucks and go get things we need like medicine, food, and stuff. I don't really want to go out today but we need to. We're low on so much with everyone always getting hurt or something. Jinxx, Ashley and Chlo seem to be doing better now that they are up around. Maybe we can ask Deamon about finding something to help Alec with his nightmares. Though that will lead to the trip to the hosptial. We wouldn't be able to take the truck there but we could walk there, move faster and can go through buildings too so we won't be on the street much." I seen her thinking a bit before she just sighed and nods her head.

"I think it would be a good thing. We will get all the stuff we need and then go as close as we can to the hospital, hide the truck and then walk there. But first we need to talk to Deamon about him. You do know that means we need to take Alec to him though?" She sit up in bed and I just looked at the time. It was too fucking early but I could tell we weren't getting back to bed anytime soon. I just sighed and got out of bed. I walked over to Alec and just picked him up carrying toward the hospital wing, June was right behind me and the kid was just passed out in my arms asleep.

Once we got there, I put him on one of the beds and just looking around for Deamon. I knew he would be around. The hospital wing was his place and he enjoy it more then we liked. Soon he came out of his little office and was just looking at us. Guess he didn't here us come here.

"What can I do for you and June, CC?" He was looking at me and I sighed a bit before looking at June.

"We want to know what we would need to help him with his night terrors and the nightmares. CC and I can't keep losing sleep because of this and it's getting more and more worse since everyone is talking about attacking the camps soon. I mean we don't mind taking care of him. He trusts us. But we have missions lately to do things and we can't always be with him. So do you know what we can use to help?" June was right to the piont when it came to some things.

"I will have to look in my medicine book but I think blood pressure medicines would help relieve them. It should help with the nightmares, there were studies about it. So if you can find anything with blood pressure, it would keep you away from the hopsital too. Or therapy but we don't have anyone around here that could help with that. It seems that you two can't help him much. The kid is going through a hard time. All you can do is tried different meds to help him." Deamon lean against the wall and was just looking at Alec. "There really isn't much more to do. Just don't go near that hospital. They been around it since I started hitting it up years ago." He pulled off the wall and walked back into his office. I looked at June to see what she think we should do.

"We can tried the different blood meds to see if they really do help. We need to do something for him. But let get him back to the room and let get going. I want to be back before lunch." I picked up the kid again and put him in his bed as we got to the room. We got ready to go out and I couldn't help but wonder what's going to happen this time out there. We always end up getting away the last minute but that could all change one day.

We walked out of the streets where the trucks were and I could see that Andy was up looking out the window watching us. He know we went out early to get things down and have more time before The Order was even up and moving around. We know they went back to the city at night time and would stay there until close to noon before coming back out to look for anyone that shouldn't be out here. We drove off and heading to the frist place we needed, that was a mall.
"I really don't like just the two of us coming out. Usually we have Cambria and Andy with us. So why does that change now?" June was looking out the window and just staring at what use to be my home city.

"I don't know, I think Andy wants to try and get things all plan out with Dahvie. I mean if we had the army and his fanbase, we could easily beat The Order, but we don't. I don't know what the plans are yet, just that they want to go attack the camps first. The only thing is I have a bad feeling once we free everyone from them 15 camps. It's going to come down hard on our group. Everyone will be out to kill us from The Order. Ryker will be on the look out for us too more then he is now. I was right about the day it all happen, when I told them I didn't want to go on tour but they got me on that bus and it crashed." I was just looking around while driving. The mall was away from their city so it was night, it was still dark out too.

"No one would have seen it happen, CC. No one seen this coming, it just did. That's how things work, they just happen. We don't have control on everything in this world. To think people want to follow The Order just shows you how fucked up the world was. It just got worse because no one could tell that it was getting this bad." I had to agree with her on that one.

We soon pulled up to the mall and I drove the truck into the middle of it and shut off all the lights. We didn't want anyone known that we were here and we needed the truck close by if we needed to get away fast. We got all the stuff that we needed, clothes, food and even medicine. We even got some extra things to keep the kids all busy while we work on plans and getting ready for taking out them camps. The city would have to way a bit longer, we needed to get everyone out of the camps and take them down. We were heading out when we heard cars outside.

"Shit, they are out early or we been out too long." June ran back to the truck, I followed close behind her. We got everything loaded before getting into the truck and slowly creeping out of the mall. "They are going to see us. I mean our trucks aren't hidden well." She was looking around as we go to the street and I started speeding down the road. It was in good time because we seen them go into the mall.

"That was a close one. This is why we need more then two people to go out on runs. I know Andy is trying to come up with plans but he needs to come with us again." I was mad, I swear if anything happen to her I would kick Andy's ass first for telling us to go out alone. And I know if anything happen to me she would flip on someone.

"Too close but we aren't out of this yet. We still have a while to get back home." June let out a scream when a bullet hit the truck and I looked in the mirror to see we were being follow. "You have to be fucking kidding me. They seen us?"

"I guess so, don't worry though. I'll get us out of here and promise that I won't try and get shot. That was painful before. Just put your seatbelt on, things are about to get crazy." I stepped on the gas more when she put the belt on and I went crashing through a building. I know it probably scared her but we needed to get away and fast. They were shooting more at us but I just knew my way through this city. It took use about an hour and 100 rounds firing at us to get out of the mess and to a safe area. When I knew they weren't behind us anymore after going through the one building, I headed back to the hotel to get everything we needed to the group. Should have see their faces when they seen how beat up the truck was.

"What the hell did you guys do to the truck? It looks like it went through a war zone." Andy was just looking at us and I just sighed.

"When you have five Order cars on you, crashing through buildings are the only way to get rid of them." I just laughed and looked at June who just sighed and was still shaking a bit. I know I scared the hell out of her with all that driving but it was to protect us and get away without bring them home.

"You better be glad nothing happen to her or I swear I would beat the shit out of you." Cambria was glaring at me. It kinda scared me sometimes how protective she was of June then again they were good friends.

Once everything was put away, I just went back to my room and lay down on the bed. I was holding my side, but hid it from everyone. One of the bullets came in the side of the truck and cut my side. It was bleeding bad so I was trying to keep it away from the bed. I didn't know that June follow me up when I looked at it and I heard her gasp with shock.

"You didn't tell us you were hit." She sighs and walked away, then came back with the first aid kit. She then pulled up my shirt to look at the wound and clean it before bandaging it up. "It's good it's just a cut from a bullet, you know how bad that could have been if the bullet went into your body?" She just glared at me

"If that was the case, I would have said something, but it was just a cut. You know you worry too much. I know you have a right to but I know how to take care of myself. You don't have to worry about me so much love." I pulled her next to me and just hold her in my arms. "Did you give the meds to Alec?"

"Deamon is taking care of it right now. I really just want to sleep, we been up all morning. I really just want to sleep right now." She smiled at me before leaning up and kissing me. I couldn't help but smile back.

"Whatever you want love. I could use some sleep after that driving around." We just both laughed and decided to get the much sleep that we needed and haven't been getting bacause of Alec. It was going to be a while before they were ready to take out the camps. We were going to need everyone in there to be in their right minds to go after the city. They couldn't stop everyone but first we needed to free them. That's the number one plan right now. Free everyone from the camps.
