War's P.O.V.
I stand in front of the charred council. My face flushed with the heat.
"There is some one killing the Rebel's followers. You must protect the five next on the list," the council says.
"I must ask why are they targeting the Rebel's followers?" I ask.
"They think the Rebels are going to cause the inevitable apocalypse," the council informs.
Max P.O.V.
I get kicked awake. I jump into a battle stance to only find myself face to face with my best friends / foster siblings. I plop back on my sleeping bag mumbling, "you could have gave me some kind of warning."
"Dude, that was the only way to wake you up," Ashley says.
"Fine, whatever, what's for breakfast?" I ask groggily.
"Eggs and hash," Daire says abruptly.
"Fine by me," I say sarcastically.
"Max, it's what we get for running away from the foster home," Ashley says.
Yes, we ran away. Yes, we live alone. Just the the five of us Alice, Ashley, Daire, Raven and me, Max. Yes, I am a girl. No, I will not divulge where we are. All I'm gonna say is it's a rundown, abandoned cabin somewhere in America. (Not saying what one either.)
I walk over and turn on the radio. I turned it to a local rock station. It was playing Freakshow by Skillet.
Alice looks up from her notebook and say, "It's ironic isn't it?" She turns towards the radio. "We are a Freakshow to outsiders." She looks at her black hair.
"Yes, but being a freak has it's advantages," Daire says her orange hair from the fire.
"Daire hurry with the food. I'm getting hungry over here," Raven says.
"Hold on, Rave. It's almost done," Daire says from the fire, flipping the hash.
I roll my eyes and turn back to the radio. I start humming the melody to the song. When the song ends the DJ starts his babble.
"How's that song out there with all the freaks?" He laughs.
We groan.
"What's that, Jimmy?" He pauses. We hear paper shuffling. "Umm... well, I have information on a recent killing. It appears the victim was dressed in Black Veil Brides apparel."
My friends and I exchange looks.
"Now, back to the music. Up next is Savior for those who have died." The song starts.
I feel this weird sensation of something cloth-like covering my mouth. My vision grows darker. I fall into a heap on the floor.
"MAX!" I hear Raven's voice getting fainter.
I start to see images in my vision. Images of my friends and I dying. Everything goes black.
"You and your friends are next to die,"A voice followed by evil laughter.
Everything goes quiet but this time I'm horrified with the silence.
