Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the ground of the completely destroyed bus. The closest thing I had to home since my dad had died was shredded, windows broken, walls cracked, and a lack of presence of the other five. Fuck, what am I gonna do.

2 Hours Ago

"Fuck off Andy!" Ashley shouted as Andy stuck out his tongue at him as he continued to steal pancakes from his plate. Having enough, Ash tackled the younger man.

"Hey not fair!" Andy yelled back as he started trying to overpower Ash. CC and I cheered the two idiots on. Jake rolled his eyes with a little smirk on his face and continued making pancakes, since the the guys could probably all make world records with their appetites. They were blueberry pancakes of course, they had to have some nutritional value if Jake was cooking them. And Jinxx…..wait….where's Jinxx?

"Hey guys where'd Jinxx go?"

"Probably went to play Sherlock, he had a hunch something was wrong and his hunches are usually right." Replied Jake, who was the only other one not fully engrossed in the fight between Ash and Andy, who now was on top of the older man, both with their wings out.

"Ha! The winner the always sexy Ashley Purdy! Accept your defeat."

Andy just shot up two middle fingers, making CC burst out in laughter as Jake and I both let out a little chuckle.

CRASH

The door slammed open as Jinxx stumbled in, his clothes torn to shreds, open cuts and gashes covered his arms and legs, he had a black eye and maybe a split lip, it was hard to tell with all the blood on his face.

"Jinxx what the hell happened!?" Andy shot up from under Ash

"Get r-ready….they're c-coming" he hit his knees coughing and sputtering as Jake rushed to pick him up and lay him on the couch.

"Shit, Jinxxy say something please" Ash said but unfortunately, did not get an answer back, the Mystic had become unresponsive.

"Fuck, what do we do?" CC asked

"I-I don't know Jinxx's usually the one who heals everybody" Andy's leadership was faulting. "We never knew what to do if he got hurt, I never really thought he would."

I felt as if a sledge hammer had smashed into my chest, a sickening feeling flowed through me, and it looked like everybody else.

"I-I don't feel so good"

"It's the bond hun" Ash spoke up "we're extremely strong when we're all together and at full strength. But when one of us gets hurt or is away for a long time all of us feel like shit. The good thing to come out of it is it's pretty damn hard to kill one of since you'd pretty much have to kill all of us."

I sat down next to Jinxx, bruises covered his face, Jake had cleaned most of the blood of and was trying to patch up the wounds on his arms.

"Jake have you stitched up wounds before?"

"No, but I'll have to try"

"Here I'll do 'em, if you're not experienced you could open them further."

He handed me the needle and thread and I started stitching up the large gash on his forearm, making even clean threads.

"How'd you know how to do that?" CC asked

"My grandma used to be a nurse, she taught me. And I always had to give my dad stitches since he always used to get into fights."

"What about your mom why didn't she help him?"

"My ma basically refused to go anywhere near blood or open wounds, she thought it was disgusting and wounds and scars and stuff were ugly and improper."I finished the last stitch on the last wound that needed them and put the needle and thread away. "So I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say F.E.A.R. did this?"

"Yep, but this kind of damage was probably done by one person" Andy said

"One person! How could one person do all this damage to an fallen angel with fucking powers!"

"The leader, he's a half angel half vampire."

"Wouldn't he be fallen to if he was half vampire"

"Nope, because according to the shitty rules up there he's never really disobeyed the rules and kees most of his crimes covered up anyways, he makes his servants do them for him and take the blame. He isn't bad but pure evil.

"And just a straight up dick" Ash butted in.

"But he is extremely powerful, even all of us at full strength probably wouldn't be able to stop him."

"Yikes, that's why you were trying to gather an army right, so you would have enough power to stop him?'

"Yep, if we had all the BVB army members who were fallen or are even the children of fallen The Leader wouldn't stand a chance, unfortunately you are one of the only five who are left."

"Shit they're coming!" Jake was watching the window.

"The Leader?"

"And some of his minions"

"Nikki go hide NOW" Ash said

"No I want to stay and fight with you guys!"

"I know but if we get killed or captured, we need you to find the other four fallen, it's the only thing that would be able to stop him Jake sent you the coordinates through the bond so they're permanently set in your mind. There's a trapdoor in your room that will lead you to a bunker that Jinxx warded off-"

I cut Andy off "Then why can't you guys come with me?"

"Because they'll know we're hiding somewhere in the bus and since Jinxx is out cold, the wards aren't very strong and will probably only camouflage one person, and they don't exactly know who you are and can't sense you because they haven't come in contact with you yet NOW GO"

I gave them all one final group hug and raced down to the trapdoor as I heard the door open, shouting, shrieks of pain, the flaps of wings and clash of weapons. My brothers fighting against an ultimately evil force knowing they were either going to be captured or killed. I felt the bond inside me pent up with rage and exhaustion and every bad feeling you've ever felt all rolled into one.

It was too much, it was way too fucking much. I broke down, crying for the first time since my father died. I had gained a new family only to have it taken away from me….again.

Well fuck.
