Rise From The Ashes

I was walking around the mansion, looking for my wife and kids. It was a sunday afternoon, everyone was out partying and shopping that it's been 7 years since we became this city I made. Since we took over the world and getting all the evil off the street, what they didn't know about were the so many camps of evil people just outside the world. As much as they knew, they were all killed when we took over the cities 7 years ago. There was only one group to ever make it into the walls but they were killed off as soon as they got in. Stupid rebels thinking they could just come in here and taking us out. They would be stupid. The only group that could really do that is them wild ones. We couldn't fine their hang out, everytime we did find them they ran and knew their way around this city like they live here. They did but so did others but they fell so easy. Caiden can't even get into their group. He tired six times over the 7 years and fail every time. Mostly becuase the destroyer seems to have a good vibe about things.

"Ryker, hun, Tate and them just got back. He's in your office waiting to talk to you." I looked up to see my wife and our youngest that was only 4, Xander holding on to her like he was ready for bed. It was getting late, my 10 year old, Kira what in bed by now. 10 was bed time for everyone in this city.

"Did he tell you what it was about? He knows I been busy." I walked toward my office. It better be good or I swear to god I will have him murder and find a new right hand man.

"No he didn't. But he told me it was important and that you would one to see this. What's going on outside these walls, Ryker. Please tell me you got rid of that group thats been blowing things up outside. It's scaring everyone that you still here crashing and bombs going off and we can't even see what's going on other then you and your army." I don't want to admit to anyone that I can't beat these damn wild ones, if I could just get one of them, I would use that one to make the others bow down to me.

"Don't worry about it, I'll get them, they are sneaky people but they will fall. All I need is to get my hands on one of their main group and they will be gone." I kissed her and my son's head before smiling. "Go get some sleep, I will talk to you later my love." I walked to the office and seen Tate sitting there with a huge grin on his face. This was not normal. "What is so fucking important that you needed to come to the mansion and have Sophie tell me to come here. You know how much I hate her to know about what is on the outside of this walls."

"We got one." I looked at him weird, what did he mean by they got one. He must have seen the confused look and laughs. "One of the wild ones, the mourner. Him and his girl were out near the camps and we chase them down before getting the girl. We were going to kill her but then the mourner came out of no where and he told us to leave her go and he would give up himself. We have him hold up at camp 15. In one of the buildings, we had to put a bag over his head even though he's out cold just so people didn't get hope that there were ones to save them." I was in shock, I was hoping we could get the prophet but he wasn't the easiest.

"Let me tell Sophie and the kids goodnight and they I will come. What building do you have him in? The brand house? Please tell me you didn't do that yet, I would love to get my hands on one fo them fuckers." Oh I was going to make sure he would be apart of camp 15 forever, it's the worse camp we had and the one with the most deaths. 10,000 people been killed in camp 15 since 7 years ago. 1,000 to 2,000 deaths in the other 14 camps. I had a list of all the deaths. "What happen to his girl and what the hell where they doing around the camps?"

"That is the only issues, we let her go to make him think he won and he our smarted us. He chain the car to a building and it fell killing one of the drivers that we pay to keep their mouth shut. She got away because of this move. We don't know what they were doing but I will warn you. He's a smart ass, I don't know how much you going to get out of him. We did beat the shit out of him though, so when he wakes up he's going to be in pain and have a really bad headache." Tate just smirked more.

"Get the car ready, I'll be out after saying goodnight to my family. I can't have their leader, so I'll make do with what I have. If he don't take, I'll send him back to his group, its just they won't know what to do to help him." I laughed darkly before I walked to my kids room to kiss them goodnight before going to my wife. "I'm going to go out for right now. Tate thinks he got one of them people that are blowing up things outside. So I'm going to go find him and put him in his place."

"Ryker, what do you really do to them people? There was a lot over people out there, did you really kill all of them?" Sophie was too soft, if she knew about the camps, things would really go down hill for us. I only never let her out of here because I know the prophet, the look in his eyes when we killed his girl and she told him about killing they stupid pets. That look told me, he would take everything from me if I gave him that chance. It's why I need to find them before they get the balls to come after me. I would force them all into camp 15, and make sure they were on the top of list of death within the first week.

"Most of them ran away love, others were killed because they attack us first. There is one group out there that think they can get the best of us, but it's a small group of 28 people. Don't worry I will protect us all." I kissed her and said goodnight before going out of the mansion and getting in the car with Tate.

"You know, people are going to start to realize that there is more going on outside them walls. Something tell me they already do. If they seen them camps what do you think they would do to know that's just on the other side of the wall?" Tate drove out of the city and toward camp 15.
"I hope it never happens, that other group that made it into the city scared the shit out of them. The wild ones are worse then that group and I remember the look in his eyes. He will hurt Sophie and the kids. He would not even think twice about it." They open up the gates and I was looking around the camp, there was half dead people tied to poles. There was small kids cuddling together on the ground. Dead just laying there on the ground. This camp was one of the worse and it couldn't have made me more happy to see all this evil falling before my eyes. The other camps were two soft on people. Everyone was really skinny and were only giving enough food and water to live, other then that they got nothing. They didn't have beds, or buildings to sleep in like the other camps, so rain or shine they were always outside. We drove to the building, it was just a small one.

We parked the car and got out. I looked around seen the people I place here picking up the dead and just throwing them into this gaint hole. I walked into the building and too my shock already tied to a chain was one of the wild ones, I could tell just by the tattoos of his arms to know that it was the mourner. His arms were tied to the arms of the chair, his feet to the legs of the chair and his upper body to the back. He wasn't getting free unless we let him. I could tell that he was wake but he seem to be not paying attention that we walked into the room. I walked over to the fire place. This was known as a brand building for a reason. It where they got the mark to tell what camp they are from. I was going to be nice and put them in camp 1 but they pissed me off, so if I get any of them 15 would be their home, they wouldn't make it long out in the yard.

"Being all quiet thinking I don't know you're here? You don't scare me Ryker, none of you do because I know my brothers and our friends. They won't let you get away from this." I turned around to see him just staring me down. "I have to say, I see why Andy wants to kill you so much. You have that look to you." I send people to kill his face like we did with the prophet and destroyer. But they could only get the pets because the mourner and mystic show up before we could get their girls. The only one we didn't have any leads on was the deviant though from watching over the years. He had someone now he cared about.

"You should really watch what you say, you're the one tied to a chair." I didn't let him see the hot metal that was in the flames. I know what happens when people see it and it didn't matter if you were strong on not. No one liked to be brand because it was painful and could get infected if not taking care of right.

"Like I care, I'm really helpless right now so I can't even fight back if I wanted to. Though it's not going to bother me. You think I'm just going to rat out my friends. You're dead wrong, you can torture me, beat me, whatever and I will still not tell you. I know what I was getting myself into. I even told my brothers goodbye even if I never see them again. I'm way a head of you all. I knew I would have to save my girl at some point. So just get it done with whatever you're going to do, kill me if you want. I'm not giving out the hide out and I won't let you know anything about my group." I looked as the metal was red now from the fire and looked over at Kai and Tate. They both walked over and hold down his right arm to the arm of the chair. They made sure his hand was flat too. I hated people with sleeve tattoos, I couldn't put the mark on their wrist like the others.

"Oh you think just because you know everything that you know what I plan for you. You're dead right, maybe I'll just send you back to your group after I'm done with you." I pulled the metal out of the flame and for the first time let him see what I was up to. The freak in his eyes told me he wasn't that bad and now he knew why his right arm was being hold down so tightly. "You don't get it, this camp is just for people like you. You and your group will die here if I got you all in one place." I walked over and putting the metal right on the back of his hand and pressing down as hard as I could. C-15, letting them know that he was in camp 15 and that's where the rest of them would be in. The scream of pain that could be heard just made me smirk more. It was about time I got one of these fuckers. And I was going to beat the living shit out of him. Then give him back to his group as a warning they will all fall like this.

Tate untied him and he just sat there holding his hand, I could tell the burn was bad. Kai pushed him to the ground, off the chair and just started kicking him over and over again. I watched as they all just took there turns with him, kicking him, throwning him against the wall, hitting him with weapons like bats, whips, metal poles. He just cried out in pain and I couldn't help but just keep smiling, thinking of doing this to all of them. He made a big mistake about giving himself up. I told them any times out there that I hated them all. I let them just beat him until he couldn't move any more, there was blood and he was just laying there after hours of being.

"Give up yet?" He just glare at me, even though his one eye was shut and he most likely couldn't see out of it right now.

"Go to hell...." was the only thing he said before I gave my fights the okay to beat the living shit out of him. They didn't stop until he wasn't moving anymore. Tate check to see if he was alive yet and nodded to me. We were all this all night and it was morning now.

"Bring him with us, I'm sure one of the others have to be out on a run right now." They picked him up, only causing him to yell in pain. It was good to know he was alive yet. We put him in the back of the car, well more like threw him in the back and closed it. Tate and I were going to be the ones to give him back to one of his brothers. Oh I hope it was the prophet or even better the destroyer, he seem like the weakest of them.

"Right there, I see their truck, so that means they are here. I don't know what good but you going to sit here and wait?" I was looking at the truck, they all had their own so you could tell who was out just but the truck.

"Oh, this should be fun. That's the Prophet's truck." I could see that batman sign on the front of it. We waited for almost three hours. They had bags of stuff with them and I seen that he had his girl with him too, what made it better was the fact that the destroyer was there with his girl too. "Oh this is going to be too much fun." I got out of the car and walked toward them but stopped a good 5 feet away. "Hey!" They all looked at me and I seen the guys turn to the girls telling them to get in the truck. They both looked at me and I could see them hateful eyes on me.

"What the fuck do you want? Where is Jake?!" Oh prophet that was the wrong question could could have asked. I hold up my arm and Tate brought the mourner out of the back and next to us. The fear in the destroyer's eyes, the scream of worry from both girls, mix with crying and the anger in the prophet's eyes just told me all I needed to know. They won't happy and it was only going to get more fun. "I'll fucking kill you!" He yelled at me.

"Oh this isn't the worse we can do, this is only what happens when we want to send a warning out. Tate, just give him back to them." I seen Tate walked over to them and push the mourner into the arms of the prophet, the guy was likea rag doll and the prophet had his eyes locked on me like he would have killed me if he didn't have his hurt friend in his arms right now. "Get him help or watch him die in your care." The girls got out of the truck and ran to the mourner's side, I could see them crying and I seen the prophet hand him over to his girl, them getting him in the truck carefully.

"I'll make you pay for this Ryker, I'll make you pay for everything you did in the last 7 years. You will fucking regret it all. That's a fucking promise." His fists were closes so hard you could see them turning white. He was pissed, he wanted to kill us all and really I wanted to see what his next move was. "I know about Sophie, Kira and Xander. Protect them with your life. Because when I get ahold of them, I will make sure they suffer like Juliet and the kids did and I'll make sure they feel what Jake is feeling. I'm done playing, you want a fucking war you got one. Fuck you." They got in the car and drove off, something in the voice of his scared the living shit out of me, and that fact he knew about my family freak me out more.

"Ryker, you're shaking." I looked at my hands and got in the car, Tate following me.

"I know I am, but that look, them words. We need to up our game or they are going to win this. Take me home, we have a lot of planning to do." He drove me home and I called a town meeting, I had to warn my people. I think I just did the wrong move right now, but if I took them out first it would be good.

----

A/N: Shit just hit the fan, sorry for what I did to Jake but it was my way in making things just go bad to worse. There will be deaths, if anyone knows I'm not one for killing main characters but I will side ones. So there will be death and war to come in next chapters. Next one will be Andy's pov. Again sorry for all this just know it wasn't easy for me to write, it made me sick writing it but yeah.
