Yaaaayyy an update :p
So I dont know if I've mentioned them before but the Legends are now apart of this story too :)
I OWN NOTHING...Obviously but Zack would be nice to own :)
P.S. Someone dies in this chapter too...whoopsie?
Zack took one of the last few matches from the pack and placed it behind his front teeth. He pulled it sharply and quickly, successfully lighting it and shedding some light on the darkness that had once again consumed the area. Evan chuckled at his friend and smiled at him, " Where did you learn stuff like that?" Zack shrugged his shoulders, " I can light it from behind my ear too...and with my zipper." Evan laughed again, " Dude you have way to much time on your hands." Zack smiled, " Yeah but at least it turned out to be helpful." Christian sighed and smiled at the two younger men at least their moods had lightened up but he was concerned about Jack. He was afriad that the constant moving he had done in the past few days had casued an infection. He looked down at the blonde that was asleep in his lap and pressed a hand to his forehead and knitted his eyebrows in frustration when he felt the heat. " He alright?" John asked opening one eye as he spoke. Christian shrugged his shoulders, " He's got a fever. What about you?" John opened his other eye, " I'm fine just a little pain." Christian nodded his head, " I haven't heard gunfire in awhile...do you think they're gone?" John shrugged his shoulders, " Only one way to find out." Christian sighed, " Alright I'm going out there...keep them safe."
Alex smiled at the person who had saved his life, " Man where the fuck did you come from?" Randy rolled his eyes at the man, " That's the thanks I get huh? Lets get out of here, we gotta go through the window." Alex nodded his head and made sure to stay close to the man as they raced through the house to a window, that conveniently had a fire escape. Alex shook his head wondering why he hadn't thought of that before and followed Randy out and down. They ran until they were safely with the others before Alex bent over and sucked in as much fresh air as his lungs would allow. As soon as he could breath properly his attention immediately shifted to Chris and his safety. He searched around a sigh of relief escaping his lips when his eyes landed on Chris sitting on the sidewalk a blanket wrapped around him and a medic talking to him. He walked over to his friend and sat down next to neither of them knowing what to say. Chris let out a long sigh before resting his head on Alex's shoulder and letting the silent tears fall from his eyes.
Christian reached up and grabbed the handle pulling it slowly open, surprised to find that no one had entered the room. He closed it again and made his way towards the door, pressing his ear to it to listen for any signs. He breathed a sigh of relief and searched around the room for something he could pick the lock with and smiled when he found a hair pin. He slowly slid it into the key hole and wiggled it around for a few moments before a satisfying click was heard. He slowly pushed the door open ready for an ambush, but when none came he pushed the door fully open and exited the room softly closing the door behind him. As he walked down the hallway he checked all the rooms and was surprised to find that none of them were damaged or anything. He guessed that everything had happened downstairs and ventured toward the large staircase and slowly went down it. With each step he took he became more alert and his heart pounded harder and harder in his chest. By the time he reached the last stair his heart was beating so rapidly that he was afraid he was going to have a heart attack. He had closed his eyes sometime while coming down the stairs, he paused and took a deep breath calming himself down slowly when he opened his eyes he had to stifle the scream that tried to push it's way past his lips.
"So let me get this straight! You guys came to help us?" Alex asked. Randy nodded his head slowly, " I've told you that...10 times." Alex scrunched up his nose and turned to his few remaining friends, he was glad that he had them at least. After the firemen had managed to calm the flames that were engulfing the house they had gone in and taken a body count. Alex was confused to find that Roode, Storm and Hernandez were missing along with Bret. He had guessed that Bret had been taken when their attackers had left and Roode, Storm and Hernandez had gone with them. He shook his head and sighed, " Alright so let me get this...YOU came to help US?" Chris sighed and rolled his eyes, " Yes Lex they came to help us! Jeez you're so dense sometimes I think that all the bleach has gone to your head!" Alex glared at his friend, " Okay okay I get it I'm dumb we all know this." Randy sighed, " Yes we came to help you guys...but we were a little to late and for that I'm sorry. But if he's doing what I think he's doing then we have to get back to our place as soon as we can. I've already sent some men back...but we need to know if you're going to help us take down the Legends." Alex looked to his friends and smiled when he saw the similar looks in their eyes. At that moment he knew exactly what they wanted to do, he turned to Randy with a grin to rival ny other, " We're in."
Christian sighed and let his eyes flutter closed, he hadn't expected to see a body to be hanging right in front of his face when he came down the stairs. He looked at it and remembered it to be the face of Wade Barrett. He sighed and pushed the hanging body out of his way and continued around the room, wondering to himself how they got the body to hang there. He spotted several more Nexus members on the ground and closed his eyes, he had never seen so much blood in his life. He walked past one of the bodies and jumped in surprise when something grabbed his ankle, he looked down surprised to find that the man was still alive. He knelt down next to him and desperately tried to remeber his name but failed. " They're...working...together." he mumbled. Christian knitted his eyebrows and desperately tried to think of who the boy was talking about. " Be...careful...they know everything." he mumbled again. Christian stared down at the boy and tried to find where he was bleeding from hoping that he could save him. He grabbed the dying boy's hand in his own feeling very sorry for the red head. He heard a clang and stood up looking around but found nothing, at the sound the boy's eyes had shot open and he reached his hand out desperately for the man. Christian gave him a small frown and knelt down next to him and grabbed his hand, " Dont worry I'll stay with you. If you just hold on a little longer I can get you help." The red head nodded his head slowly and closed his eyes, " Justin." he mumbled. Christian looked down at him, " Is he still here?" the boy nodded his head, " Hiding." Christian nodded his head and held tightly onto the boys hand hoping that someone would come back to the house soon.
Adam turned the wheel sharply as they rounded the corner sending the car around it on two wheels. The minute he had felt Christian's panicked feelings he had demanded to go back to the house. Randy had allowed him and sent Kofi, Drew and Rey with him. Drew was desperately clinging to the door of the car which had flown open when he had rounded the last corner but he was driving to fast for it to be closed. Rey who was used to his crazy driving was simply sitting in the back seat sliding back and forth as he swerved all around the road. Adam wrenched the wheel and slammed on the brakes at the same time sending the car flying into the curb and coming to a complete halt. He threw open his door and stood outside the car for a few seconds waiting for Kofi, Rey and Drew. The later of the two was still hanging onto the door his hair sticking up in all directions as his wide eyes took in his surroundings. " Mi amor it's safe now." Rey said coming to his lover's side. Kofi who had simply sat in the front seat the entire time came around the car and laughed, " I think well have to pry him off that door." Adam looked at his friends, " Was my driving really that bad?" They shrugged their shoulders and Rey slowly removed his lover's hands from the door, " You're fine lets go." Drew was visibly shaking but nodded his head and followed everyone else into the house. The first thing that Adam noticed upon opening the door was the strong scent of blood that invaded his senses, he tried not to gag as he walked through the house.
Evan looked to John, " We should go out there...what if something happened to him?" John shook his head, " No I was told to keep you guys safe and that's exactly what I'm gonna do." Evan rolled his eyes, " I'm not a child! I know that everyone seems to think I am because im young but I'm not stupid!" John sighed, " No one thinks you're stupid." Evan rolled his eyes, " Whatever at least let us out of here." John sighed and slid the door open and allowed Evan out first and then Zack. " You guys gotta help me get him out...he's heavy you know." Evan rolled his eyes but knelt down to help John lift Jack out of the hiding space and back to the bed. Evan looked towards the open door and then back at John who shook his head, " Don't even think about it Bourne. Just because I'm hurt doesnt mean I wont chase you." Evan huffed and sat down on the bed next to where Jack was laying and crossed his arms. " This isn't fair. I just wanna check on him." Joh smiled, " Trust me I know you do but you have to stay here." They were both too caught up in arguing with each other to notice that Zack had slipped out the door. They only noticed when his scream reached their ears, they both shared a look of shock before bolting from the room.
Zack hadn't expected to see the body of Wade Barrett to be dangling in front of him when he reached the bottom of the stairs, so screaming was only natural. After the scream erupted from his mouth he pushed the body out of his way and ran from the room, eyes closed not wanting to see any other dead bodies. He may be a gang member but something about dead people had always creeped him out. He could hear people calling his name and he stopped running to listen, it was definitely more then one voice calling to him he knew that much. He stood up straight when he heard the familiar accented voice calling his name, he strained his ears to listen for it and turned around and ran towards the direction he had just come from. When he collided with someone he stopped running and looked up into the face he had spent many sleepless nights memorizing and smiled. He threw his arms around his companion and hugged him tight not even bothering to hide the tears.
By the time Evan and John had managed to get down the stairs Zack was already safely clinging to Kofi. Evan breathed out a sigh of relief and looked around surprised that the others were not present. " It's just me Drew, Rey and Adam. Randy kept the others behind with him...they'll be back soon." Evan nodded his head, " Where's the others?" Kofi looked down, " Attending to one of Wade's boys. I believe his name is Heath...the red head." Evan nodded his head, he knew him he had alwasy been pretty nice but had a fiery temper to match his hair. Kofi walked through the doorway to another room and Evan tagged along wanting to know what kind of state he was in. He was surprised to see Christian sitting next to him on the sofa clutching onto his hand. Evan could see the visible tears that were cascading down his face. Drew was standing nearby slowly shaking his head and from what he was seeing Evan assumed that he was dead. Adam placed a hand on his lover's shoulder, " Come on Tian you gotta let go...he's gone." Christian shook his head, " I promised him I'd stay." Adam sighed, " And you did. You didn't break your promise Tian. But he's gone you gotta let go." Christian shook his head again, " Not until he let's go first." Adam sighed and removed his hand from his shoulder and walked over to the rest, " Slater said that Justin was hiding around here somwhere. So we gotta look for him if he hasnt escape yet which I don't think he has." They all nodded their heads except for John, " First I want Drew to go and check on Jack. He was running a fever." Drew nodded his head and headed up stairs hoping that the boy was fine.
Evan opened another door to find the space behind it empty, where was he? He sighed and looked at the door that led to the basement causing a shiver to run down his spine. He hadn't been down there for a long time and he never wanted to go back down there but something told him to twist that knob. He took a deep breath and placed his hand on the knob and twisted it. The door opened slowly and eerily, Evan looked down the small flight of rickety wooden stairs and noticed a faint light. He reached into his pocket and grabbed the match Zack had given him while he was trying to teach him to light it in odd places. He placed it behind his ear, pressed down and sharply pulled it forward a smile coming across his face when he saw that the macth was lit. He ventured further down the stairs and towards the faint light he had seen and called out, " Justin? Are you down here?" He heard a faint shuffling from where the soft light was glowing and he again called out, " Justin?" The foreign boy emerged from the shadows and offered Evan a broken smile.
Christian looked down at the deceased red head and smiled softly, he was so young. He wasnt even 30 yet. While they had been waiting Christian had asked him every question he could think of just to get him to hold on a little longer. By the time Drew had finally checked on him he had confirmed what Christian had already expected. The boy was dead and there was nothing he could do to change that. But for some odd reason he just didn't want to let go of the younger's hand, he had never had anyone die while he was with them. This was something so new for him he felt like his heart had been ripped out and stomped on. He sighed and let go of the boy's hand and watched as it slowly slipped to his side and hung over the sofa. He grabbed the arm and placed it on the boy's chest. He closed his eyes and placed a kiss on his forehead before getting up and leaving the room. He wandered into the kitchen where the others were and looked around for Adam. He gave him a watery smile and was surprised when Adam opened his arms. Christian smiled and practically ran into his lover's arms. Adam sighed and wrapped his arms tightly around his lover and kissed the top of his head and mumbled calm reassuring words into his lover's ear trying to calm the younger man down.
Randy slowly closed the door to the car as he stepped out. He took a deep breath and prepared himself for what he might see when he opened the door to his home. The others trailed slowly behind him as he made his way to the door. He twisted the knob slowly in his hand and pushed the door open slowly. The first thing that hit him was the obvious scent of blood he closed his eyes and blocked out the scent as he stepped in the house, he could hear the groans of the men behind him and he could even hear someone retching but he pushed it all aside and looked for the others that he had sent earlier on. He was surprised to find them in the kitchen minus the only person he was really looking for. " He's upstairs with Drew and Jack." Kofi supplied. Randy nodded his head, " I'll be back in a few minutes." He made his way up the stairs completely ignoring the body that was dangling in front of them. He took the stairs two at a time trying to shorten the time it would take him to get up them. He could hear voices in his room and he walked to it and pushed open the door, smiling at what he saw. His lover was sitting on the edge of the bed talking to Swagger distracting from the fact that he was getting new stitches put in. When Drew finished his work he covered the wound back up and excused himself from the room causing Evan to notice for the first time that Randy was standing in the doorway. He offered him a small smile and crossed the room so that he was standing in front of him. Randy smiled down at him and offered only one word that made Evan know that everything was going to be okay, " Hey."
