Audrey's POV
Im shaking. The shadows are all glaring at me. The sick joy fills their eyes as the consider what to do with me. One with a black hood approaches me. I step backward, only to be violently shoved to the ground by the masked shadow behind me. I try to catch myself, only to have the wind knocked of of me as my ribs smashed into the concrete floor. I cried out in pain, blood still running down my face from my head. I close my eyes, wishing for death to come. I'll never survive this, I'm not going to be tortured like the other wild ones here, I'm just going to die. A boot contacts my ribs and I'm kicked over onto my back. I coward, holding my hands over my face. Two of the hooded shadows tower over my helpless form on the floor. My hands are pulled upward, straining my shoulders enough to make me scream. The pain is excruciating. The shadows tie my hands together at my wrists, the course rope was already cutting into my hands and arms. My hair is pulled up as I'm dragged to stand and across the room, into the hall of the hanging dead. The rope attached to my hands is throw over a pipe jutting out of the concrete ceiling. A violent tug pulls my arms over my head and lifts me from the ground. I scream out as I feel my shoulders strained and the breath is trapped in my lungs. Hoisting myself up, I try to gasp for breath. Im going to suffer a slow death. Eventually I won't be able to hold myself up. I can't breathe with my hands over my head. As I weaken, I will slowly suffocate. I'm going to die. There's nothing left for me, but death. The shadows laugh as I struggle, febealy trying to hold myself up by my hands, but the rope is cutting into my skin. My lungs feel burned. My hand begins to slip. I shriek again as I feel the worse pain of my life in my side. A shadow has stabbed my right side above my hip bone with his staff. Blood comes pouring out as he admires his force to make me suffer. He vanishes into a black mist with the other three black hooded shadows. I hear all the wild ones screaming. The doors are being shaken, bars being rung, I'm going to die. My hands slip from the rope, it cuts deeper into my wrists, losing my grip and falling under my arms. I try to pull myself back up. The pain is too much, I am too weak. I can't do it. I can't do it.

Blairs POV
Jake is screaming into the desert sand. We rush over, trying to get him up, but he's gone. He's gone insane. I try to comfort him, but he shoves me away. I trip backward as CC grabs my arms, steadying me. Jinxx whispers something to him and they both stand. We all gather our rations, weapons, and flags. Now, more than ever, we need to get to the tower. We are so close, it is visible in the distance. It looks like a metal toy box, but it has the symbol of the shadows staff on it, and one side has intertwining snakes. The desert heat is horrific as we trudge through the mix of sand and cracking dirt. It seemed even here the sand couldn't even be sand. We stepped onto the flat, hard ground, it was just cracked dirt. I stayed beside CC as we got closer and closer. I held his arm as wild ones began to pull out their weapons. We came to a halt, about three hundred feets frm the door we planned on attacking. He turned to me, looking deeply into my eyes.
"Blair, I have no idea what's about to happen. I want you to know, I really like you. I hope that when this is over, you and I...can be together. Don't worry about me once inside, protect yourself. OK?" I nodded understandingly. He cupped his large strong hands around my face and gave me a tender kiss. I didn't want to let him go. I wrapped him in my frail arms and he held me close. He had to release me as he walked to the front line of the formation. I stayed hidden near the middle back. I readjusted my wild ones mask. We stood three lines wide, with all five leaders of the Legion of the Black at the front. The wild ones held their flags high, we all stood and waited together, waiting for whatever was next to come. Andy turned to us. "WILD ONES," he called out. "TODAY, we free our brothers and sisters. We FIGHT! KILL THE SHADOWS!" We all began to chant along, raising our fists high to the sun. We all turned into the direction of the tower as a large wind sloped across us.

A group of Shadows appeared, all in black, facing us from a hundred feet. Each carried a large staff, all of their eyes glowed demonically. I shuddered at the thought of how close they had been in Isring to us, the cold dead look in it's eyes and it glared at us like prey. The silence was unbearable. The wind suddenly began to blow, rustling all of our hair, and shaking the flags we all held high. It seemed to be a stare down. A youngnboy, in war paint, ran ahead of us. Where did he come from? He ran between Andy and Jinxx, swinging a black rosary between his hands. We couldn't stop him. He flung the rosary as the center shadow, but he caught it, eyes tearing into the boy. He turned and sprinted back, cowaring behind another soldier. CC ran forward, suddenly smashing his fist into the ground. I almost fell over as the ground shook with seismatic force. The war cry sounded and we all rushed forward as the shadows disappeared, the doors of the tower breaking open. We sprinted, weapons at the ready into the dark entrance of the tower, instantly met with a cold, metal ,environment. We rushed forward, attacking a few weak human guards at the front of the hall. We sprinted down a ramp, into the cellars where the prisoners were said to be held. It was freezing, everything was concrete or dripping wet metal. Screams rang out in the dim lighting, the cries of Wild Ones. I almost threw up as I froze, my eyes meeting with cages and cells of wild ones, dead, alive, and in between. A mix of blood and get covered the floor. The screams of the trapped grew louder and louder. I ran past ajinxx, as he was cutting the straps of a wild ones girl, who was chained to a torture table. As the Soliders separated to freee the wild ones, they ran forward, shaking, pulling, screaming to be released. Ashley helped a wild one to limp out of a cell. I tossed a knife to Andy who used to to cut down a body that was hanging from a pipe. That's when I realized...this whole hall was filled with hanging bodies. We helped free everyone, even the bodies of the dead. We would return them to the camp, and give them a proper cremation and burial. Their bodies would no longer remain in the of their tortured death. Andy and I ran down a small hall to more cells, breaking out more and more prisoners of FEAR. He froze as a girl suddenly screamed his name. He turned back and ran forward to a cell, breaking it open and embracing the frail young sandy blonde women from the cell. He crushed her body into hers as she broke into tears."Andy! Andy' oh my god, I'm so...Andy I love you!"
He held her close, tears escaping the corner of his eye. "I love you too Juliet, Im here now!"

They shared a quick kiss as she pointed to a women in the corner with long brown hair. She was dead, or so I assumed until she moved, slowly, fragility. Andy called out for Jake. The girl was so sickly looking, she was deathly skinny, she was so pale and weak, her cheek bones visible on her face. Her eyes were barely open. Jake came sprinting around the corner. His eyes wider as he froze, taking in the girl.
"Ella?" he whispered, his voice cracking. He rushed into the cell, embracing her, but she barely moved. "Ella! Ella! It's Jake, baby I'm here!" he picked up her fragile hand and held it to his face. "Baby, its me. I'm taking you home! I'm here, please baby. Say something."
He held her close to his body as she maimed leaning against the wall. Her eyes opened a bit more, her voice was barely even a whisper. "I love...you Jake. I do. I'm...not going to make it." she huffed, obviously exhausted.
"Sure you will!" he cried back, tears forming. "Baby, im here, stay with me! Everything will be OK!"
"I love you...so does...Audrey. Save her...Jake. I'm going...save...her...save...save...sa..." her eyes closed and her body tilted away as if she was a child that had fallen asleep.
"Ella! Ella! No, please, Ella, stay with me!" he cried as she slumped over, she was obviously passing. "Ella! I love you! Please....please...no. Stay...no!" he broke down, crying with her lifeless body in his arms. Andy came forward. "Jake, let me take her. Audrey's alive in here you need to find her, I'll take Ella." He picked up Ella's body. Jakes eyes were full of tears as he stood. I pulled his arm, dragging him through the hall, past the now empty cells, looking for Audrey. Maybe she was already freed?

We wandered the dim celler, through puddles of water and blood. The walls and spaces were lined with cells and torture devices. I scanned every cell, every body laying against walls, corners. I screamed as we turned the corner, facing the hall of bodies. Bodies hung by a rope. Most hung by their necks, but ither hanging by their hands. Some of them were rotting, the smell was horrific, decaying flesh. I saw a small stream of blood and followed it. Wild ones followed behind us, cutting down bodies. Jake froze and the sprinted forward. I didn't understand, until I saw Audrey's body hanging from a pipe.
