The Arising: Something To Fear

Chapter 17

1 WEEK LATER

All three communities only lost a couple of people. But the main threat was taken care of. Also his main people Sophia and Joshua. They were taken out by Armans people. But Mr. Harris escaped somehow. He apparently attacked Mount Barker. That was the last time Ana saw him. Now it's time to start what we tried to start before.

I slowly hopped towards Alleigh's grave. Now because my prosthetic foot was broken I have to use a crutch. I slowly bent down onto my knees. I rested my hand on top of Alleigh's grave and closed my eyes. All I could think about was her final moments. The way she saved my life. She shouldn't of saved me. She should of saved herself and got the hell out of there. Now I look back on her death and I know I have to be stronger. For everyone here. I need to be here for my people.

"I found myself dreaming, in silver and gold, like a scene from a movie, that every broken heart knows. We were walking on moonlight, and you pulled me close, split second and you disappeared, and then I was all alone. I woke up in tears, with you by my side, a breath of relief, and I realised, no, we're not promised tomorrow. So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you, I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye, wherever we're standing
I won't take you for granted, cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time, so I'm gonna love you. In the blink of an eye, just a whisper of smoke, you could lose everything, the truth is you never know, so I'll kiss you longer baby, any chance that I get, I'll make the most of the minutes, and love with no regrets. Let's take our time to say what we want, use what we got before it's all gone, no, we're not promised tomorrow. So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you, I'm gonna hold you, like I'm saying goodbye, wherever we're standing, I won't take you for granted, cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time, so I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you, I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you, I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you, I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye, wherever we're standing, I won't take you for granted, cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time, so I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you, I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you" I sung while crying and remembering Alleigh.

After I finished singing I slowly stood up and clenched my fists.

"I miss her. She was a good person. I didn't talk to her much. But she was nice" Mabel said behind me.

I turned around and faced her. I saw Aydan standing behind her.

"Yeah. She was one of the good things in this world. She saved my life. All I can do now to thank her is come to her grave everyday" I said.

The walkie talkie buzzed.

"We have found five unknown people. Do you have our permission to bring them in for questioning to join our community?" Anastasia asked on the walkie talkie.

I picked up the walkie talkie from my belt.

"People? Search them for any weapons then bring them in" I said into the walkie talkie.

"Got it" Anastasia said into the walkie talkie.

I put the walkie talkie back onto my belt. I looked back up at Mabel and Aydan.

"If you don't mind me I have to go deal with these people. We can talk later" I said walking off towards the gate.

I saw the gate open and Anastasia and a few other people walked in and behind them were five people I have never seen before. Two women and three men. I slowly walk towards them.

"Are they clean?" I asked.

"No bites, no scratches" Anastasia said handing me a bag full of their weapons.
