After the Fall

Guardians of the Night (Light angst and Fluff)

"You all stay here okay! And be brave! Don't move!"

"AMBERLEE!"

"AMBIE WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!"

"MAX!"

"LUCAS! LUCAS!"

Amberlee cries while she is in the corner of the storage closet with Amir, her putting her hands against her ears to try and not hear the loud screams and cries and commotion of everyone, Amir's shaky hands trying to dial Karen's number.

"Be brave be brave." Amberlee chants to herself quietly, her crying more when the screams and slams become louder. "Be brave be brave be brave be brave."

"Be brave."

"Be brave."

"Be brave."

"I want mommy and daddy!"

"Mommy daddy please help!"

"Please come back!"

"Daddy no!"

"Mommy!"

"Daddy!"

"Help!"

"Help!"

"Help!"

Amberlee quickly opens her eyes, her going to gasp awake. She breaths a little hard while she sits up and looks around her room, the purple lights illuminating the room.

Her head snaps to her cracked door when she hears a little thump, her heart beginning to follow the sound because she feels her own heart thump hard. Her mind begins to run with all of these bad thoughts, her mind beginning to assume the worst.

The bad men.

Amberlee swallows, her hearing hushed whispers making her heart beat more faster and faster then it already is, making her clutch onto her bear harder. She tucks her hair behind her ears, her taking a little shaky breath as she slowly makes her way out of her bed.

She takes one slow step, then another, inching closer and closer to her door that has nothing but pitch black behind it. The more she gets closer the harder her heart begins to beat.

"What is this?!"

"Stop it!"

"MAX!"

"LUCAS!"

"Get off!"

"Get off her!"

Amberlee stops right in front of the door, her shaky hand hovering over the doorknob, her swallowing hard while she looks at it, still hearing the hushed whispers and occasional noises in the house.

"Be brave, be brave." She says to herself quietly.

Amberlee slowly opens the door, it being dark in the long hallway. She quickly makes a B line for Max and Lucas room, her looking up at the closed door.

So she tries to stand on her tippy toes to try and reach the knob, but her not being tall enough. She tries to jump up to try and reach for the knob, but her fingers only lightly grazing it before she comes back down.

"Mommy? Daddy?" Amberlee questions quietly, her clutching onto her bear more. "Daddy? Mommy?" She questions with more tears in her eyes. "Please tell me you all are here! Please!"
