This is my story based on Black Veil Brides's movie Legion of The Black! I just HAD to write this out. I'm even thinking about putting some of my own and BVB's songs in with a script version for this ^^ hope you like it! Enjoy!
A myth... a legend .. a ghost... a shadow... The Wild Ones, and their Legion of The Black were that and so much more to me... a story my mother once told me. Where The Wild Ones, The Prophet, The Destroyer, The Mourner, The Deviant and The Mystic, lead an army called the Legion of The Black against F.E.A.R who kept many people captive, shut away in pain and darkness, tortured for any sign of hope or happiness. After a girl who was much like my mum, who was one of the Legion's members, was murdered for escaping F.E.A.R's prison, they stormed the gates and destroyed the F.E.A.R shadows, they had won!... for now...
"Mummy... did F.E.A.R really die?" I asked mum one night before she put me to bed. I was only a child, but even from being a toddler I could remember that one story asif I was born with it engraved in my mind.
"Why do you ask that honey?" She asked me. My mum was called Eve. Eve Black. She was a famous writer. And I was her wanna-be-actress daughter... Shit! Forgot to tell you my name! I'm Angel! Angel Black since I never took my father's name... anyway, random story intrusion over! My answer wasn't exactly what people would expect from a 7 year old kid.
"Because he's still there in your story and in my dreams. He's in my dreams too... F.E.A.R is still there..." I spoke honestly. I'm only glad that my mother was not the kind of person to react as her parents had. She was locked in a mental hospital just because she was more interested in being creative and choosing art and creative writing over self harm, until her parents finally realized what a huge mistake they'd made. She wound up in a coma in which she dreamed she was chased by one of the Shadows, or Shades as I called them. Then she woke up and she was brought home. Needless to say being put in the mental home in the first place was what made her have mental problems in the future more than anything.
"It's only a dream my love." My mother smiled softly. "It's just a little nightmare. If you have that again, think of the Wild Ones... they'll keep you safe."
"I will mummy." I laied back in my bed. "Goodnight..."
"Goodnight Angel." And with that, she turned out the light.
As hard as I tried, I had the same dream yet again... I guess I should explain about how it all started.
It began with an angel falling from a Heaven... it's not like the heaven most people believe in. All the angels are controlled and forced to be perfect by the threat of a god they never see and fewer and fewer of them believe exists. She stood up to the head angel and demanded to see proof of the god she was being forced to serve. Outraged, the head angel ordered her to be exiled by being sent to earth. She fell and landed in a desert, not far from a small village. F.E.A.R Shadows appeared and tried to capture her, but the desert villagers came to her rescue and drove the Shadows back. The villagers took her in, and she soon fell in love with the oldest son of the family she lived with. They got together and had 5 sons. Prophet, Deviant, Destroyer, Mystic and Mourner. But it didn't last... F.E.A.R attacked the village and took the angel prisoner. Only the father and the five sons escaped the burning town they once called home. The brothers took refuge in another village 2 miles from the F.E.A.R prison. The angel was taken to The Voice of F.E.A.R and was forced to become his queen. Soon, another child was born... a child named Fallen... and she is me. I am the daughter of F.E.A.R
"It's only a dream... I'm not scared of you!" I always told myself... I only wish I was right...
