Silence the Legion

Death's Door

{Ashley's POV}

     It was later on in the night after Andy and Jinxx's episode. Jinxx seemed to be fine, so we just moved on and went to bed. My eyelids flashed open at the feeling of movement by my side, and I realized it was far too early in the morning for anybody to be awake. "Andy, you okay?" I mumbled, turning to him as I began fearing the worst.

     A thin sheen of sweat covered his sickly pale skin, closed eyelids rapid with movement beneath them. I turned and shook him a little, knowing that it could be dangerous, but also worried about the lack of oxygen he seemed to be getting as his breath came out in short, ragged and desperate gasps. "Andy! Wake up!" I plead, but he wouldn't budge. He was twisting away from me, trying to move away. "Come on, Andy! Wake up!"

     The door creaked open as CC walked in, stretching. "What's happening? Dream?" he asked.

     "I'm not sure, but I do know he needs to wake up, now. He's not getting enough oxygen." I noticed his breathing was getting shallower, and grew more worried.

     "CC, he won't wake up!" I cried.

     "Hey, hey. Relax. You can make him wake up, Ash. Just focus, draw in your power, and let it out," he spoke calmly, but it didn't soothe my panic.

     Andy's movements had slowed until they came to a pause. I checked his pulse, and froze. "I-It's way too low, CC. H-He's...he's barely breathing! I can't wake him up with my power, it could hurt him! He could get stuck, remember?!" I cried anxiously.

     "Hey, relax. Listen, when I say to, blow air into his mouth, okay?" CC asked.

     Shakily, I nodded. I knew how to do CPR, so it wouldn't be hard. CC pushed down on Andy's chest a few times before gesturing to me. I opened Andy's mouth and pressed my lips to his, blowing air into his mouth. CC pressed down a few more times before I repeated the action.

     "Ugh..." Andy groaned, a few coughs coming from his mouth. His eyes opened an inch, and he looked up at me, dazed. "A-Ash..." he gasped.

     "Hey it's okay, love, focus on me. Breathe, just breathe, okay? Come on, in and out." I encouraged him.

     "N-No...A-Ashley..." he choked. His eyes closed, before he gasped, and they flew open, his irises glowing black.

     "Andy?! CC, what's wrong with him?!" I asked. CC shook his head, staring in shock at Andy.

     "Rise and shine cult campers. Let's put our faith back in mayhem. We are every old broken toy born again and again. As we turn the hype into hope, we silence the noise. We are the splinter under the world's fingernail. As we turn the diamonds back into coal," he spoke in a steady, monotone voice.

     "Andy, come on, snap out of it!" I ordered, shaking his shoulder a bit.

     Finally, his eyes closed, and he fell forward into me. I caught him, holding him to my chest. When I heard a groan come from his mouth, I pulled back, watching as his eyes opened to reveal those magnificent blue crystals. "Ashley? CC? What happened?" he asked, looking at the both of us. When I explained the events of the last few minutes, he looked shocked. "What did I say?" he wondered.

     I repeated the words back to him. "Yeah. That is crazy. I saw some stuff, too. I saw Pete, Andy, and Patrick. Those girls from before had Patrick, and they were doing...something to him. I know where Pete and Andy are. We have to go find them, and help them get Patrick back," he said, moving to climb off of the bed.

     "Alright, slow down, angel. You almost just died. We'll go find Pete and Andy, just be careful. CC, can you go wake Jinxx up?" I asked. He nodded and walked out of the room. I helped Andy get off of the bed, making sure he was steady before stepping away. We both got dressed and pulled our boots on. I was about to say something when I heard CC yelling my name in panic.
