Amity's POV
~~
Juliet told me the story of how they got here and it finally clicked that Andy and Juliet had a thing.

Had. Past tense. You still have a chance.

He wouldn't want to be in a relationship with me for the same reasons he left Juliet.

We discovered similarities in likes and dislikes and became friends real quick.

We heard a banging on the door but all seven of us were in the dorm.

Andy went to go see who it was when a voice was heard.

"Shadows, Wild Ones! They're here!"

And then a scream, then silence.

Andy jumped to action, "Deviant and Mourner, cover the west and north side of the Camp. Destroyer and Mystic, you take the east and south part. I'll defend the center. Healer, Psyche, you guys get to the Chapel and head to the basement bunker."

The guys ran out and Juliet grabbed my hand. We ran out too, and I saw the raids. Shadows were grabbing people and disappearing.

"They're taking people!" I screamed.

I tore my hand from Juliet's and ran towards the closest Shadow. It saw me and dropped a girl and grabbed my arm with lightning speed.

"Let her go!" Juliet grabbed a stone and threw it at the Shadow. I ducked and it hit its shoulder. It was mad. It sent a bolt of dark tar-like smoke at Juliet. It struck her and she fell.

"Hey, ugly!"

I saw Andy, rage in his eyes.

Get ready to duck, he told me telepathically.

The Shadow saw him as well but before it could react, Andy sent a metal bar into the Shadow. Its grip on me released as it turned to ash.

I ran to Juliet's side.

"What happened?" He asked me.

"We were on our way to the Chapel when I noticed the Shadows were taking people, one of them saw me and that was when it grabbed me. Juliet tried to help me by throwing a rock at it and the Shadow attacked Juliet."

I left out the part where I tried to confront the Shadow.

"I'm just glad you're okay, the both of you."

He picked up Juliet and I followed him to the Chapel. He set her on a pew and left to continue defending the Camp.

"What happened?" Juliet woke up.

"Long story short? An-Prophet told us to get to the Chapel bunker because Shadows are attacking the Camp."

She nodded and we headed to the bunker. There were others already there. Juliet started passing out canteens of water and helped tend to wounds.

"Well, come on Psyche, help 'em."

Some turned to look at me but said nothing.

I brought down a blanket for the younger of the Legionnaires, a boy who looked around 16, with light brown hair and hazel eyes.

"Thank you," he told me.

"You're welcome," I replied.

A thud was heard and the room shook slightly.

A few minutes later, the door swung open and CC stood in the doorway.

"They're gone, y'all can come out now. But the Prophet has an announcement to make outside."

"Brothers and Sisters of the Legion! Thanks to the Psyche and the Healer, we've uncovered the fact that the Shadows are taking Legionnaires from the Camp."

There's something else, I thought at Andy.

"Psyche?" He asked, looking at me with an eyebrow raised.

"The way the sand was patterned when I saw one disappear made me realize that they are being taken to the Sanctuary. For what reason? I do not know."

The Legionnaires began to talk at once, questions ringing in their tone. Andy tried to get their attention multiple times but failed. I saw irritation and anger flare in his eyes.

Then, his eyes turned white and began to glow. A broken light post nearby began to overload and the bulb exploded, getting everyone's attention.

"Settle down already! We need to focus on what F.E.A.R has planned and what they want," said Jinxx.

"The Mystic is right," said Mourner, "We need to turn our attention towards their goals and what is it they want from us. Right now though, we need to find survivors and help them. Prophet?"

"Do what the Mourner has instructed, you are dismissed," said Andy.
