Blair's POV
I woke when I felt the bed being shook. I groaned and curled up against CCs bare chest.
"CC, get up. We have work to do," Andy barked.
"I'll get up in a biitt," CC whined as he pulled me closer in his warm embrace.
"Not a chance Chuppy, I know you. Get up before I have Jinxx put a fireball on your ass." he said.
CC released me and jumped out of bed. I rolled into the space he had been laying and growled. I felt his fingers brush back the hair that had fallen on my face. "I'm sorry Blair," he whispered as he kissed my check. "I'll be back later."
I opened my eyes and whispered OK. I smiled at him and closed my eyes, snuggling into the warm space he had left. He gently brushed his lips against mine and walked out.
"Audrey," Andy said. I opened my eyes again. Andy was gently waking her. "We are going to get some breakfast if you would like to join us before we get to work."
"Mmmmm OK." She pulled off her covers and with her eyes still closed she sat up. "Give me a minute. Meeting in the station?"
"Yep," he said quietly as he patted her shoulder. He stepped out of the tent and I could hear his boots crunch the dry dirt as he walked away.

I watched as Audrey drowsily got out of bed and zombie walked over to the water basin in the tent. She splashed water in her face and rubbed her cheeks a few times with her palms. She grumbled a few times and then pulled her long coppery hair into a high ponytail. She washed her face and pulled off the dirty t shirt she was wearing. She pulled on a black tank top and a pair of ripped up skinny jeans she found. Ashley had brought us an array of clothing he had found that we believed would fit us. He's quiet a purve since he asked our bra and pantie size, to which Audrey gave him a mild slap in the face. He claimed it was only to help get more clothes. She strapped on a pair of black leather combat boots and wavved bye to me as she followed the way CC and Andy went.

I slowly stood. I know I shouldn't have gotten out of bed, but I was curious to see what Audrey's part was in this. I slipped out of the tent in my pink t. Shirt and green cotton short, following her at a unnoticeable distance.

Audreys POV
I readjusted my ponytail as I walked down the dirt path that led to the building the station was held in. I hated waking up early. I was still so confused over everything that had transpired yesterday. I shook my head and began climbing up the stairs to the station. The desert sun was already blistering in the early morning light. My skin already felt burnt. I opened the door to the station, where I had to pause a moment in the doorway for my eyes to adjust. I saw all of the Legion standing around a table where a chandelier of candle hung over, illuminating a hand drawn map. I slowly and quietly walked over, where I stood between Andy and Ashley, across from Jake. Andy was pointing at the tower.
"This is where Audrey and I designed the line attack."
I nodded my head as the Legion members acknowledged me.

"Yeah, right here," I said as I pointed to the side of the tower we planned on attacking. "This is where the lines will assemble. We need to stand as a united troupe, we know the shadows can apparate so we assume they will apparate on this line here."
"But if they apparate, what if we are attacked before we reach the tower?" Ashley asked.
"Then we fight." Andy said.
"But that could give away our entire attack and any element of surprise."
"We have no other way, Ash."
"Andy," Jinxx injected, "Can you see anything about us getting attacked?"

Andy stared hard at the map, his eyes momentarily went out of focus. He looked over to me confused. He glanced at CC. "You plan on bringing Blair?"
CCs face went ghost white. "I-I thought she could be of use if we had anyone get injured..."
"Is she even well enough to travel like this?" Andy added.
"I don't know Andy." CC glanced over at me.
"What if I came?" I said quietly.
Jakes head snapped up. "No way, you'll get hurt Audrey."
"No I won't. I'll watch over Blair and I can be another fighting hand. I'm highly skilled in battle stretch and I'm a damn good fighter. I could be useful. If Blair heals the rest of my side tonight I'm good to go. I'm fit."

Ashley suddenly struck at me, to which I ducked and turned, taking a stance. Ashley rushed forward at me, to which I jumped back, twisted and shoved my foot into his back. He turned and grabbed my heel, turning my leg. I jumped, using his hand as a launcher and brought my other foot into his chest as I stood in his hands. He fell forward and I landed with my legs on either side of his chest with one hand on his throat and the other holding both of his hands above his head. He stared wide eyed at me. I lowered myself down onto Ashley's torso, "So," I whispered seductively, "still think I can't fight." my lips were millimeters from his. He shook his head no. "Good." I lightly slapped his face and got off him. Ashley remained on the ground for a moment, wide eyed and confused.
"Damn, Jake, if you don't hit that I will."
"Who said you even have a chance with her?" Andy said.
The room cracked up laughing as Ashley embarrasedly rejoined around the table.
"Well, Audrey, I think you could be a good addition, we've never done it before, but as leader I'm going to make an acception. Welcome to the Soliders of the a legion of the Black. You are officially a Wild One."
I smiled and looked up at Andy. "So where's this breakfast you promised?"
"I gotcha," Jinxx said as he motioned for me to follow him.

We walked over to the corner of the room that held the kitchen. He picked up a plate and slid on some cooked meat, looked like a beef patty and a ball of cooked dough. I picked up the dough, tasting the. Sugary bite. It'd been so long since id had anything sugary.
"Thanks, Jinxx," I said as I took another bite.
"It's no problem. You've been a great asset around here. Things have been a lot different since you and Blair showed up. Better different."
"Haha well, things have been a lot better since we got here, or at least I think so. I'd rather be here than Isring. If I was still in there...I would..well things would be a lot different...worse different." I tried to laugh it off as I swallowed the last of my sugary bite.
"Hey, things have a way of working out," he said as he patted my shoudler.

"You guys ready to go build some weapons?" Andy asked as he started for the door.
"FUCK YEAH!" I yelled as I swallowed the last of my breakfast.

We all shuffled to the door and as we moved into a single file line to go to the stairs, I ended up in front of Jake. It was awkward, and the tension could be physically felt between us. I followed Ashley down the stairs and we all walked in a group all the way across the camp to the pond. A large group of men was assembled all talking in small groups.
We stopped a few yards in front of the groups. The men slowly quieted and spread out, all attention on the Legion. A few hushed whispers we're directed toward me.
"Good morning men. We are going to fabricating our weapons this morning. Tomorrow morning we will departing from the camp and begin the journey to attack the tower. Everyone needs to be prepared by sunrise. Now we will go over plans and strategy tonight. Now we will have some assistance," Andy looked behind and held out a hand to me. I placed my hand in his and he guided me to stand between him and Jake. "This is Audrey Nolen."

A few men snickered and exchanged snide comments. One man stepped forward, an older gentleman, about my fathers age, with grey forming in his hair and obviously had one hell of an ego. "And what's she gonna be doing? Making us finger sandwiches and cocktails?" all of the men cracked up laughing. I became a ball of rage on the inside, but I stayed completely composed on the outside. I calmly and sweetly approached him. I gently rested a hand on his shoulder.
"Actually, I'm going to help make weapons." I smiled very shyly,looked away, trying to seem embarrassed.
"Surely you must be joking Phrophet. Is she going to paint our weapons with daisies and lillys? I'm sure the Shadows will be quaking in their masks and shaking in their robes." The laughter continued.
"Oh no. I have a much better purpose," I smiled. Suddenly I dug my fingers into his collarbone, right on the pressure point. He fell to his knees and crumpled onto the ground. Right before he hit the ground I swiftly. Grabbed both of his hands, crossing them over his back and pinning him to the ground with my knee between his shoulder blades. I pulled on his arms, then he cried out in pain. "How about about you paint some daisies on a vase for me while I go and make a few swords or staffs?

All the men laughed. I stood up and returned to stand by Andy and Jake. We began to work on weapons. The main problem was that we had the wood and the metal pieces, but we didn't have enough to make enough for everyone to have at least one weapon. I had a crazy idea.
"Uhh, well, Andy I have a really weird idea."
"We need anything," he replied as he sharpened the tip of a flag post to make a spear.
"Jake?" his head snapped up. "Has...has anyone died in the past few months?"
"Quite a few, why?"
"Well, hear me out. A pelvic bone is designed to withstand and support the weight of the human. If we found the pelvic bone of a woman, who had a child, it woukd be expanded, and we could sharpen the frontal side to make like an ax if tied to a support staff. A femer is as strong as cement, we could use them as clubs, or spikes if we drove a nail into the head of the rotator. Also, skulls are designed to protect from impact, we could turn a skull into a ball and chain, if we added nails through the cranium."

Both looked at me, pondering the idea. Andy nodded to Jake. "Go dig up a skeleton."
When Jake returned with bones, we were actually able to create nine different weapons from the skeleton. I helped paint masks and the symbols in the flags. I returned to the infirmary for bit, shocked when Blair walked in, since I expected her to be in bed, but I didn't question it. Following the plan, Blair was able to heal the rest of my wound. It seemed to tire her, so she said she was going to nap. I was left with a horrific scar, but I returned to the Legion group and continued to assist as much as possible. As afternoon faded into night, I took a seat on a crate next to Jake and Andy began to explain strategy to the men. Everyone else seated on the ground, or the Legion on the crates and barrels. The men continued to discuss the attack and I slowly felt myself tiring. My eyes felt heavy and I was barely aware as I slumped and rested my head against Jake.

As the sun dropped, the desert chill began to sink in. A cold breeze rustled over my shoulders and I shivered, I was wearing a tank top and very ripped jeans. Jake wrapped his leather jacket around my shoulders and then his arms around me from behind as he sat next to me on the crate. I was tired and Jakes warm embrace was comforting and inviting. He gently kissed my temple and the next thing I knew he was gently laying me down in bed. He removed the leather jacket and carefully covered me with a soft blanket. He layed down beside me, pulling the blanket over himself as well. His muscular tattooed arm wrapped around my waist, his chest pressing gently into my back. He rested his head against my shoulder, and I could feel his silky black hair gently falling over my shoulder and neck. Both of our breathing began to slow, and I could feel his cool breath gently blowing over my collarbone. My eyes began to close.
"Good night, Audrey," he whispered, his voice gently vibrated against my spine.
"Mmmm...Goonigh Jae," I mumbled in reply.

I felt his lips tenderly press against my shoulder. He oulled me closer and I slowly drifted off.
