The Only One

The Cooing Caw of a Gentle Songbird

"Good morning Jake... long night for you too?" The slender, dark skinned woman slid her hand against the nape of his neck, playing with the curls of his hair. "Yes... it's.. the nightmares won't end. It's been a month I think... it just won't end. It's getting tiring.".
"Well... let's..." Claudette's soft voice was interrupted by a spasm of her hand and a grinding halt to playing with his hair. A shock wave sent across 4 survivors, and Claudette opened her eyes. "Jake, Adam, Bill, Ace. You 4 will be going to join the entity for a bit." Everyone who was chosen boo'd, or took one last swig of their soup before standing up, waiting for the paralyzed like state to come over them. Jake however, grabbed Claudette's hand and squeezed. "Let's hope it's Michael, I need to speak with him." "Of course Jake... good luck, you're already fading."
Jake stood up, dusted himself off, giving Claudette an affectionate smile before being paralyzed in place, a cloud of dust and Smaug washed over him before disappearing, entering the same coma as usual. When he awoke, he was surrounded by 3 larger males, furthermore recognizing the corn. "Cold wind farms... my fucking favorite." Jake muttered, sighing against the nice warm breeze in the area, almost stagnant. "Shit, we got dropped toge'her. Let's get the hell out of here." Adam motioned towards a generator for him and Jake to work on, leaving the two obvious old love birds to themselves.
"So, how've you've been, Jake?" Adam said, slowly beginning to him a tune as he awaited Jakes response, ever so patient he is. Jake smiled at the taller guy, swallowing a bit of pride around the once school teacher. "I've been having these terrible nightmares... so surprisingly the entities realm is quite nice. Calming for a moment.". Adam looked up, studying the younger mans face for a moment before flicking his tongue. "You should try not to think about the nightmare and rather try to assess what is causing said nightmare. You can't allow it to corrupt your feelings Jake.".

As Adam finished speaking, the generator went off, sending a spark in the air, followed by the bright illuminating light. That's when he heard it, 2 more generators went off. Whatever or whoever this killer was, they were not having a fun time, or well, so he thought. He heard Ace's signature scream, followed by a thud. Jake grit his teeth, turning his body towards the screams and booking it. He had to help Ace, he knew Adam had went off elsewhere, probably trying to get a generator, and Bill was probably being a hardass. He swerved between the stalks of corn, freezing at the sight before him. Ace being hooked by a large, muscular man in a blue mechanics suit. "Oh... shit."

Michael turned his head at that, whatever type of joy Michael could feel, he felt. But, it quickly turned into a pretend stance, chasing after Jake. "GET ACE OFF THE FUCKING HOOK BILL!" Jake screamed out, swerving in and out of Michaels vision, before stopping curtly in a corner far away from everyone. He turned around, to see Michael towering over him. Before he would've felt terror, terror like nothing before, but now... he gripped the shapes large hands and rested his head against his chest, sighing contently. "I missed you Michael, I did, truly."

The larger of the two swiftly picked him up, and hugged in the best way he could, before putting him back down. He began to sign, in a broken sign. "You been ok? I was worried.". This signing from Michael almost made Jake instantly cry, before wiping away his tears and smiling. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you. These nightmares I've been having... about David and Dwight... they won't stop. I can't do it anymore. It's tough Michael, it's so hard..."

(Part 2 will have to come out later, I'm so tired me lovelies. Anywho, it has been TOO LONG! I am so very sorry. I feel awful for taking so many breaks. I hope you all can forgive me, my lovebugs! Have an amazing rest of your week! Kith!!!)
