Andy's P.O.V.
"Tomorrow." I said pacing in front of the meeting room. "Tomorrow is what we have been training for. Learning about our enemy and making sure we were in the best physical shape possible."
The survivors in the crowd nodded. A couple boys looked down at admired their arms. We had been training hard and it would all pay off in a couple of hours.
"I know that we've discussed the plan but just in case someone wasn't paying attention, I will go throug it again." I cleared my throat. "Dan and Phil I need you and C.C's team to stick to the F.E.A.R guards. Fast and strong, that's they key. Understood?"
I waited to see them nod. "They aren't very intelligent and rely mostly on their brute force so if you're clever and attack them in places hard for them to reach, and be fast about it, we'll get through." I reminded. "Remember, don't be afraid to kill if that's an option."
"Remember if it comes to be their life or your own, always chose your own." Jinxx adviced. "I know it sounds kind of obvious but sometimes your morals will hold you back. Kind of cold blooded, I know. But I would prefer if we all made it back alive."
I could see some survivors become rigid in fear. Some of them didn't fight F.E.A.R. last time. The first time. That's why they're called survivors. We fought and saved them.
Some of these people are fight virgins, if you could excuse my term.
"That's right. Please, you must choose your own life. Got it?" Nods gave me reassurance from the crowd. "Good. Now when Dan, Phil, and C.C's group is disctracting the F.E.A.R. guards, the rest of us will attack the leaders. The F.E.A.R leader is a female. This is a matriarch. Her weaknesses are few but they do exist." I looked at Jake and he nodded.
He closed his eyes and remembered. "Being fearless is number one. They aren't F.E.A.R for nothing and they will try to scare you. They will not hesitate in bringing your worst nightmares to life so stand fearless." He explained. "Just remember it's not real. It's all an illusion."
"Exactly. When it comes to F.E.A.R, remember that emtional and mental pain is greater than physical. They are more hurt when you defy them. Once they feel helpless under your defiance, you can start physically attacking them and that's how you defeat F.E.A.R. It's not easy, I know. Believe me, I've fought them before. But we must stay strong." Ashley explained further.
I nodded with a huge smile on my lips. This team of rebels had come a long way. I mean from beign lost little tenage boys trapped in a cell being guarded by F.E.A.R at all times we've become strong independent leaders. Fearless little weirdos that are willing to risk their lives to defend and possibly save all they know.
I can't believe it.
"We'll be there at all times to guide you if you need any help during battle. Don't worry. Just be fearless." I said finally and nodded. "Now we all need some rest if we want to succeed in battle tomorrow. See you then."
Ashley, Jinxx, C.C, Jake, Michelle and I said our final hopeful goodbyes and left the meeting room so the survivors could rest.
Once outside we all decided to go to sleep since we... "needed rest". We all knew it was because we didn't to see each other cry. Jinxx, Jake, C.C, and Ash all left to their rooms and Michelle and I went our own way.
Michelle's P.O.V
Andy and I reached our room quickly and I opened the door for us, closing it right behind.
Once inside I stared at Andy and he hugged me tight. I hugged him back and let myself go. I had so many emotions trapped inside of me that I had been holding back.
Since Andy found me, feelings of home-sickness, loss, uncertainty, worthlessness, sadness, fear, and pain had all been kept in a tiny pouch inside of me. I hadn't allowed myself to cry. Especially not since Andy and I had started showing feelings for each other.
I wasn't ready. But now I was.
The hot tears rushed down my face as I heard Andy whispering words of comfort. He was also crying but he didn't want me to notice.
I broke the hug and stared at his face. He tried to turn away so I wouldn't see the tears or the fear in his eyes but I turned his face towards me.
"Take care of yourself." I whispered. "If I lose you tomorrow, my soul will go down with you. I will lose myself too, understand?"
A sob erupted from Andy and he hid his face in his hands. My soul felt like it was being ripped apart at the sight of Andy being this scared.
"Please?" I asked.
He looked up and hugged me. "I promise. But I swear that if it comes down to my life or yours, I will chose yours." He said in my ear. I could practically touch the sincerity in his voice.
I held my breath. "Andy you can't do that."
He looked me in the eyes and smiled through his tears. "Yes I can, and I will. I don't know if you understand but I love you. And I want you to be safe. I need you to be safe. And I will do anything to make it that way."
My heart squeezed. "You make this harder for me." I whispered. "Everyhting you say makes me fall deeper and deeper in love with you Andrew. I can't bare to lose you." A sob appeared and ruined my speech making me bury my face into Andy's chest.
He held me close and kissed the top of my head. "Don't be silly. You'll be fine. We'll both make it out okay."
"Promise?"
He went stiff. "You know I can't do that." He said starting to play with my hair. It was getting wet with his tears.
I choked back a sob. "You're right. Just, please take care." I insisted.
"I will and I'll promise to keep you safe as well." He said taking my face in his hands and kissing me passionately. I kissed him back as more tears came streaming down.
