Legend of The Guardians: The Ghost + The Darkness//FINAL

Chapter Eighteen

Perfect Storm 

Cayden POV
I was keeping watch with Taryn,"Soo you're like me?" She looked and nodded,"You too?" I nodded as well,"How did you figure it out?"
"I was younger, towards the end of my pre-teen or early teen years, when this boy Lance, who was...about as attractive as Chad Michael Murray in One Tree Hill" 
"Good taste"
"How did you know?" I asked her and she sighed,"When I first watched Charlie's Angels, 2000. Drew, Cameron and Lucy were hot, I like a woman who knows how to stand her ground, knows how to fight, which was one of the qualities I love about Michelle. I also had a thing for rebels, but that was like, long ago”
“Rebels?” I asked her and she nodded,”You know before all this, I was a druggy, I used to do any drug I used to get my hands on and this was before I realized what I'm really am" I was shocked because she really didn't seem like the kinda woman that used to do drugs, but you never know with people in the apocalypse nowadays,”Really?”
“Yeah, this one time, I met someone online and I thought,’Hey he seems like a great person’ So I decided to talk to him online knowing what I was doing was completely wrong, he was older than me then, we went to different schools, he went to college and I was a Sophomore in high school, we both knew what we were doing was completely wrong, we even got high together, got faded and one thing led to another and next thing you know we were taking our clothes off of each other and fucked in a chair in my room. I didn’t have a bed, but a chair was all that I needed. I woke up in my own basement with him not knowing what the hell happened and my mother had no clue because she was doing graveyard shift. I got him in and out of the house as much as I could until I told him that there was a chance that I was pregnant and what he did was instantly drop me. I felt used, degraded and lost a piece of self respect because I didn’t know too much then about guys’ equipment, only girls and I felt...like a sex toy to guys. I knew that if I were to be with someone, it would be with someone that I can fully trust and someone who is up to having a child, Michelle was it….Connor wasn’t, he only wanted one part from me and he had it, he just couldn’t handle the rest” I was honestly fucking speechless and the way she said it was in a calm tone,”How did you get used to telling a story like that?”
“You learn to forgive yourself instead of trying to forgive the person who doesn’t owe you an apology for their behavior” She looked over at me,”Rebellion comes with a price Cayden, look at what we’ve already done to our world ever since the apocalypse started, the people out there are living relentlessly and they don’t even care, but us. We only show mercy when we have to, we take what we need, not out of greed, but for survival"
"And I was only 13 when this started"
"Be glad Cayden, you dont have to know the pain of disappointing your family or the ecstatic feeling of a drug going either down your throat or up in your veins" I nodded as I was able to see the despair in her eyes talking about it,"I'm part of the lost generation" I held her hand as a sign that its okay to open up around me then I said,"Our supplies are building up more and we need to get a bigger truck"
"We all know, which is why we're still stuck, I'll talk to Andrea to let some of us go out to look for a truck" She said to me and I nodded

Blaire POV
I woke up in Dylan's arms and he turned as I got up, putting my messy hair back up. I closed my eyes to take a deep breath, someone pounded on the door,"Sunrise! Get up!" Dylan flinched and got up,"Up already?" I nodded as I was putting my vest and shirt on, he wrapped his arms around me and moved hair to the side to kiss my neck,"Didnt get enough from last night?" I smirked and he smiled,"No, someone like you, I would want it any time of day or night" I moved my neck to the other side for him to have more room to kiss my neck then another pound at the door,"You guys up yet or what?"
"Yeah we're up!" He instantly stopped and put his head on top of my head and sighed,"You're gonna be the death of me Blaire"
"That's what I've been saying about you ever since we met" He slightly nudged me as he was getting ready,"I'll be out there okay?" He nodded and I went out there seeing Andrea and Taryn talking,"Hey Primus, got a mission for you and a couple other people" I walked over,"What is it?" I ask Andrea,"We have enough supplies, but we've collected too much"
"And you need me and couple people to go out there and find a bigger vehicle to the supplies in" She nodded,"Taryn, Gwen, Pete and you are going. The rest here will be protecting this place, I'll let Dylan know" 
"Okay" We got loaded up and went down the street, there was a Walker coming at me and I stunned and stabbed the Walker in the head,"She say when we need to get back?"
"Before Sundown, why?" I grabbed my knife out again and stabbed the Walker from neck to stomach,"Then we're gonna need to blend in" They agreed and did it, we continued walking and heard noises, we all stopped and aimed our weapons everywhere, I looked down the road and I saw a Walker running, I pulled my arrow back ready for fire and I heard the voice,"Wait! Primus! Wait!" 
"Hold on guys, we got a runner" Gwen said to us and I shook my head then Dylan caught up,"You just like to follow orders that suit you huh?"
"We're stronger together right? 50/50" I sighed,"You're a crazy son of a bitch, let's keep moving" When I saw him catching up to us, it felt like I was complete with him around, so we continued looking for a more convenient vehicle, we explained to Dylan about everything. "There's that truck over there" We looked down there and we questioned Gwen's suggestion,"That's a mail truck"
"Yeah but for packages, believe me my adopted mother used to drive one of these, come on" We followed her and she got the back to open,"See? It's big enough for 2 or 3 people in the front, but all of our supplies can fit back here"
"What's that line do?" Taryn asked and Pete jumped on,"Hold on, I think I…." Some clicking and seconds later, Pete got it,"Okay now that we know how to work a rope, anyone know how to start this thing?" Dylan asked us and Taryn already went to the front of the truck,"I found a key!" Then the truck started,"Gas is good! Mileage is clear, Pete in the front now, the rest of you in the back to keep watch" We followed what she said and we sat in the back,"Maybe someone in the Lodge can see if there's anything wrong"
"Tawnin did, so did Patrick…." Gwen said to us and I nodded,"I have some knowledge in trucks and cars Gwen, I believe I can do it" Dylan said to Gwen and I backed him up,"Except that first car when this started"
"You grabbed a 12 Volt Battery for a 6 Volt Battery car, it wasn't your fault"
"Really dude? 12 Volt Battery for a 6 Volt Battery car? Even I dont get it wrong" After after Gwen shaming Dylan,"How would you handle it if you went into a garage and a group of Raiders were in the same place as you, groups of walkers coming after you in little under an hour? We had to jump from one building to the next for that battery"
"You have a point Blaire" It does take a lot for me to lose control now, I guess as you get older, you get to the point whether if it’s worth getting mad almost at every little thing or just...stand back, know when to take a stand at the right time. That stand didn’t really feel right, but Gwen is only a few years younger and I know what it was like being 20. We made it back and Andrea was surprised how quick we were to find a decent truck,”How’s it doing?”
“The truck is in such good condition, we can load everything up, 2 or 3 people can be in the front while 2 people are taking watch over the supplies while traveling and the rest can stay in the van” Pete said to Andrea and she was hesitant then looked down,”Load up! And Dylan, come here!” I looked over at Dylan.”Should’ve stayed here” He rolled his eyes and walked over to her
