Eve and the Legion

Part Thirteen

The sun came up in the morning, Silver awoke. I watched her as she began to boil water to make something for breakfast. It was nice that we were actually having breakfast today. "Eat up." Silver put my food in front of me. "You'll need your energy, today is a big day." I looked at her and sighed, I was not ready for today. Silver was not the type of person I would usually tell about my problems, she seemed to have problems of her own far worse than mine. She seemed to have noticed my look of dismay yet she said nothing. She left the tent and as did I, we didn't speak for a while. The silence was broken when Silver spoke "I know this is hard, Eve. A year ago you never thought of anything like this but now here you are." I sighed. "How am I supposed to lead a war? I know I should follow my heart but how?""Just don't think about it." Silver said. I looked at her then shook my head "It won't be easy.""Nobody ever said it would be, but it is do-able." She looked down. "Anything is possible if you put your heart into it." I sighed, I still didn't know what to put my heart to. What if Alexander betrays me? What if I have to betray him? Thoughts ran through my heads, a series of what if's that I just couldn't seem to block out. I wanted to do what was best for everyone, but what if it wasn't best for me? What if I choose what's best for me but it isn't best for everyone? I knew that now was not the time for thinking, now was the time for action. We continued walking and I began to think of what my heart wanting. I figured out what my heart wanted and I held on tight to that. We were going almost the same way as we did when we went to see the Prophet, however this time we were going to that building we passed last time. Silver seemed to be very scared of this building, I noticed she looked as though she were about to cry as we neared it. Soon, a tall standing dark thing came into sight, it was the same thing that had captured me and taken me into the F.E.A.R. prison not too long ago, or at least it felt like not too long ago. As we got closer, more of the same thing appeared behind it. They readied their staffs and stood as if they were waiting for us to attack. Silver stopped walking, but I kept going forward. I looked back at her for a second, she nodded, and I continued. Soon, I felt as if there were more people behind me. I turned around to see them, the Legion with their Prophet leading them. The Destroyer, the Mourner, the Deviant, and the Mystic all took their places by his sides. I saw a young boy weave himself through the crowd, he let out a war cry then ran back into the crowd of people. I looked at all these people, these people who were counting on me to save them, I then turned back around to face the creatures in front of me. The Destroyer stepped forward and told me to take a step back, I did as I was told. He looked at the creatures with a focused glare. He punched the ground in front of him, causing a wave of strong energy to go towards them. Soon, I saw them evaporate into thin air and the Legion marched on, into the building which held many prisoners. Silver rushed in and found a cage with a young boy. "Jayy!" She shouted at she broke him out of the cage. "Mommy!" He shouted back and hugged her tightly. "I missed you mommy." He smiled brightly and held onto her. I noticed that the building we were in was beginning to fall apart. "Hurry up and get everyone out of here!" I shouted. "The building is going to collapse!" People began to break people out of cages in a hurry, helping people out, then going back to help more people. I helped to get many people out of the building. As the building was just about to cave, I noticed the cry of a small girl. She was trapped under a wooden beam. "Eve, we need to get out of here right now!" I heard Silver shout. "I have to save her!" I shouted back, running over to the little girl. "There's no time Eve! We need to go!" Silver pleaded, going towards the exit. I ignored her and lifted the beam off of the little girl. It was heavy, but that didn't bother me. I threw the beam to the side and helped the girl out. As I looked up I saw that the exit was covered. I had to find out another way to get her out before it was too late.
