Ok, I am posting this... because I was bored. Again, Flash is gonna end up with Blaze. (Yay people liked it. ;) ) This is NOT going along with the main storyline either. This idea came to me while I was taking a facebook test on if I would survive a zombie apocalypse. (No, I wouldn't but I would sacrifice myself to save my friends.) And I was listening to Zoe Jane by Staind. Here we go...
Oh, and Lisa, Melody, and Phantom belong to Lisa the Cat (along with the children OC's excluding Amber.), and Charge the Cat and Aqua the Cat belong to Charge the Cat. Just added them in for effect in this story. Note: All children OC's are young kids in this fic.
Setting
Flash and Blaze have been married for 10 years, and have a daughter named Amber. (It's like ember, get it? Thanks to ShadowOfTheDay1997 for helping me come up with a name.) She is 8 years old in this fic. All I am gonna say is that the apocalypse started because of a virus, there is a horde of them, and The Haven is the only safe community, for the last uninfected people in the world.
Normal POV, at the airport.
Flash, Lisa, Phantom, and the Sonic gang were at the airport, rushing their kids into the plane. The flight attendant spoke into a megaphone again. "This is the last flight to The Haven. Again, last flight for The Haven." This was their children's only chance of survival. Ever since The Virus broke out, most of Mobius had been consumed by The Virus. "Hurry up, kids!" Sonic shouted to them, as he threw their belongings inside the small jet. He looked inside, there were many children and parents aboard the plane, all with terrified expressions on their faces. One by one, the children started to pile in. "Daddy, I'm scared." Melody said. "It's gonna be ok. Just calm down and get in the plane." Sonic said in a calming voice. As the last of the main characters and their children (Blaze went on by herself) boarded the plane, the flight attendant spoke up again. "We are now full of passengers." "WHAT?" Lisa shouted. "But what about us?" Charge asked. "I'm sorry." "We'll just have to get their on our own." Flash said. "What? But it's such a long way, I don't know if we can-" Aqua was cut off by Flash. "WE HAVE NO CHOICE!" Flash shouted coldly. "IT'S THIS OR DIE! YOUR CHOICE!" Everyone looked at each other, saddened. "This is the way it has to be." Flash said. "Flash, but what if you don't make it. What if-" Flash cut Blaze off. "If we die, oh well. This is the only way any of us can survive." Flash said. "But what about-" "Blaze, just go." Blaze took a step forward. "But Flash-" "GO!" Flash shouted, a deep coldness in his voice. She looked at his eyes, there wasn't a hint of sympathy in them. She started to tear up as she walked back, taking her seat alone.
"We are now closing the doors." The flight attendant said, as the doors began to close. The plane began to move down the track, getting faster and faster, until it finally took off. Lisa, Phantom, Charge and Aqua just stood there, watching it fly away. "Let's get moving." Flash said, as he began to walk away, straightening his black trench coat. Lisa started to speak up. "Wait, we don't know the way. How are we going to-" "I know the way. The horde will be here any minute, so let's go. Now." Flash said in a cold tone. "What's his problem?" Phantom asked. Lisa just shrugged.
That night, Lisa's POV
We have been walking for hours. My legs were getting tired, and I could see everyone else's were too... except Flash. He looked like he could walk for days. "Flash." I said. "What?" He asked in a bit of an irritated tone. I was too tired to care. "We need to stop for the night. It's getting dark, we're tired, and it's probably dangerous at night." She said. Flash sighed. "Ok, we'll stop for the night. But we get moving, first thing in the morning." Flash said, as he motioned for them to follow him. He approached a door to an old motel, and held his Spas-12 in his hands. He turned on the flashlight attachment. Then, he busted the door down with his foot, and the door flew off of it's hinges. He pointed the flashlight around, searching for any infected. He signaled it was clear, and turned on the lights to the motel. And I must say, the old, crummy beds looked so good at the moment. But I noticed something running down the hallway... "Flash!" I shouted. He looked around, and noticed the infected mobian running straight for us. Flash started to approach it, as it kept running closer to him. When they were a foot away from each other, flash smashed it in the face with the back of his shotgun, knocked the zombie to the floor, and pointed the gun directly at his head. BANG! The zombie was motionless. "Problem solved. Now go to sleep." Flash said, motioning to one of the rooms. Phantom and I shared a room, and Charge and Aqua shared a room. I laid down in the bed, Phantom laying right beside me. "Phantom?" I said. "Hm?" He responded. "Why do you think that Flash is acting like he is?" "What do you mean?" "I mean, ever since this started, he has acted like... like emotions do not exist. He is cold towards everybody." "Probably just wants this whole thing to end." "Oh." I said, as I fell asleep in his arms.
A couple hours later, I awoke to hear a sound, coming from the hallway. It was a rather elegant sound, a soft calming tune. I walked to the door, and peeked out the door. It was Flash, he was wide awake, playing an acoustic guitar. He did not notice me, so he never stopped. I listened to him. "Amber, I am sorry this happened to you. This is not how I wanted it to be. I wish we could be together now, me, you, and mom, but... but you were taken away." He said, as a tear formed in his eye. He continued to play, before singing. (Zoe Jane by Staind, with the name changed.)
Well I want you to notice,
To notice when I'm not around.
I know that your eyes see straight through me,
And speak to me without a sound.
Flash began to play heavy chords, as tears started to fall out of his eyes, looking at a picture of his daughter placed on the floor. It was him, holding his daughter on his shoulders, them both laughing. He continued to sing:
I want to hold you,
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured.
And I want to show you,
To show you all the things that this life has in store for you.
And I'll always love you,
The way that a father, should love his daughter.
I felt my heart sink as I continued to listen.
When I walked out this morning,
I cried as I walked to the door.
I cried about how long I'd be away for,
I cried about leaving you all alone.
Now I know why he is acting this way. I remembered that his daughter died, the infected took her. She was such a sweet little girl, only 8 years old.
I want to hold you,
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured.
And I want to show you,
To show you all the things that this life has in store for you.
And I'll always love you,
The way that a father, should love his daughter.
Sweet little Amber...
Sweet little Amber...
I actually found myself shedding a few tears. No one should have had to go through what he has.
So I wanted to say this,
Cause I wouldn't know where to begin.
To explain to you what I have been through,
To explain where your daddy has been.
Cause I want to hold you,
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured.
And I want to show you,
To show you all the things that this life has in store for you.
And I'll always love you,
The way that a father, should love his daughter.
Sweet little Amber...
Sweet little Amber...
Flash wiped away his tears as he stopped playing. "I love you, Amber. And I always will." He said as he cleared up the last of his tears. I wanted to run over to him, and give him a hug. But I tripped, and fell to the floor. Flash's ears perked up, and he stood, and started for our door. I quickly dove under the covers, back into Phantom's arms. He opened the door, and I pretended to be asleep. He must have bought it, cause he left after looking around for a few seconds. 'He shouldn't have had to go through that.' I thought to myself, as I fell back to sleep.
Ok, there was the first chapter. Again, this is not in the main plot line. This is labeled as a hurt/comfort story, but I can assure you, it's only the hurt part. Again, thank you to ShadowOfTheDay1997, for helping me come up with the name. (She gave me a name, and I built of off it.) The story may not be real, but Amber is going to be Flash and Blaze's first daughter. I am not done writing about Flash and Blaze when they were younger, but I have another time period that I can write about every now and then. Hope you enjoyed this. R&R. Oh, and just to give you a little hint, the end of this story is inspired by You by Breaking Benjamin, though I can guarantee that you can't correctly guess how this is going to end.
