And Slowly All Stars Fade

Chapter 23- Brooklyn attack!

Edited this chapter as best I could. Feel free to point out any mistakes.

Lux's P.O.V.

It was a normal afternoon with everyone just doing as they should. Scott had taken over the command here and Grandpa McNally the command in New York. I miss Steven a lot but luckily it's only a few days until they come home. Scott has requested that he Steven and Zach join him here as extra protection. Angelique has been taking over my tasks so I can rest for a bit. Earlier this morning I got sick, I threw up most of my stomach content and I could smell almost everything in the house. They insisted I go see the house doctor but I convinced them that I probably ate something bad.

I was in the kitchen washing the dishes with Angelique when we heard Shelly yelling orders to people.

"What's happening?" Lina asked as she joined us.

"We're under attack," Shelly answered. "I need you girls to come with me. We have to go hide the kids and try to keep them safe."

"Where's Grandma McNally and Mrs. Gilbert?" Angelique asked slight panic showing in her eyes.

"They're safe upstairs, if we get all the kids into the basement and out the secret tunnels we can get them to safety at HQ in New York," Shelly suggested as we all walked upstairs to go them. I glanced out the window to see we were completely surrounded. They were getting ready to come through the front.

"We'll have to use the back stairs to the basement, they'll be coming through the front door at any second," I stated as we came into the kids room. I found Josh in the corner, I ran over to him and picked him up.

"Where are we going?" He asked frowning as we walked to the back stairs.

"Shh, we're going to go outside and then for a ride," I whispered as we reached the basement with everyone else. Angelique was holding a sleeping Lucas in her arms and I could see she was hoping he wouldn't wake up and start crying. There were four other kids all looking very confused. Lina had a little girl in her arms, she was younger than Josh and then there were three other kids all the same age, 10. Grandma McNally opened the tunnel gate and grabbed two kids by the hand before running down the tunnel. Mrs. Gilbert grabbed the remain kid's hand and followed. We waited and then Angelique, Lina and I made our escape down the tunnel. We made it safely to our escape car but we soon ran into trouble when we heard gun shots in the house. Shelly came running out with Mia and Scott behind her as they fired at the enemy.

"Shelly get in the car, me and Scott can handle this!" Mia yelled as hots were fired at her.

"I'm not gonna leave you behind!" She yelled in reply after she shot a guy. I was watching as more people fell.

"For god sake get in the fucking car, your pregnant and I can't have you put your unborn child in danger just to cover my ass!" She yelled. Shelly nodded before getting into the car next to me. Mrs. Gilbert shut the doors and got in next to Grandma McNally.

"Mia take care of yourself, Scott bring yourself and the others back safely. Don't leave anyone behind, we'll see you in New York," Grandma McNally ordered. Scott walked to the open window where Angelique was. He kissed her and then looked down at his son in her arms. He said something to her that I couldn't here before he kissed her one last time and stood back telling Grandma McNally to go. We drove out of the back gate leaving the safe house with everyone else still in there. I felt bad for leaving them behind, I wanted to stay and fight but I knew Josh needed me.

As we drove out of this small town I could feel Josh falling asleep on my shoulder. I put my arm around him and let his little head rest on my lap. He must probably be very confused and tired. Now that I was going to see Steven earlier intend of in a few days I was sort of relieved but scared at the same time. I haven't heard anything from Steven since he left and I don't know if he's ok or if he's been hurt or anything buy I do hope he's perfectly fine. We had a few hours left before we get there so I better get some rest. I closed my and leaned my head back letting sleep take over.

Few hours later...

I woke up due to someone shaking my shoulders. I opened my eyes slowly to see it was Josh and he was sitting on my lap.

"We're here, wake up," he said shaking me again.

"I'm up," I announced rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. A wave of nausea hit me and I quickly pushed Josh off my lap and got out of the car just in time to throw up. Lina handed me a tissue as I mumbled a thanks wiping my mouth.

"I still think you need to go see the doctor, this isn't food poisoning," she said staring at me.

"She doesn't need to see a doctor for what she has," Shelly commented.

"Lux, are you okay?" Steven's familiar voice asked. I stood up right smiling at him.

"Yeah I'm fine I'm just a little nauseous," I replied. He smiled before leaning in but I put my hand on his chest.

"I just threw up and kissing me would be a really bad idea right now," I stated giving him a hug instead.

"I've missed you baby," he said kissing the top of my head.

"I've missed you too," relief and happiness washing over me as I breathed out. I pulled away from him as another wave of nausea hit making me throw up again. I wiped my mouth with the tissue in my hand. Steven looked concerned as he looked at me. He picked me up bridal style and carried me inside with Lina, Josh and Shelly following behind us.

"The kids will be sleeping in here so Josh come with me," Lina grabbed his hand leading him into the room. He mumbled a good night before she dragged the five year old away. Shelly went to the office and Steven carried me to his room. He placed me gently on the bed.

"Are you hungry?" He asked as he got up walking over to the mini fridge in the room.

"Not really, I'm tired though," I stated getting up. I walked over to the bathroom. I washed my face with cold water and rinsed my mouth to get rid of the foul taste.

"You can take a shower if you want, I'll get you one of my old T-shirts to wear," he rubbed my back soothingly.

"That would be nice," I replied giving him a tired smile. He turned on the shower for me and left the bathroom to get me some clothes. I got undressed and stepped into the shower letting the warm water sooth my aching muscles. I quickly washed fearing that I'd fall asleep if I stay here too long. I got out wrapping the towel around myself walking to the bedroom.

"Here you go baby," he handed me his large back T-shirt that I knew would sit on my tiny figure like a dress. I dried myself off and picked up the shirt. Steven got off the bed and pulled the shirt over my head. He kissed my forehead and pulled me into a tight hug.

"I love you," he whispered as he let go of me dragging me to bed. We got in under the covers, he pulled me closer to him warming up my cold body.

"I love you too," I replied kissing his cheek before closing my eyes letting sleep take over my tired mind once again.
