The Mysterious Shadows

The Truth

//Editors note:
Please guys, give me feedback on the chapters. I want you to be completely honest with me. I've been trying to upload more often so you guys aren't left hanging for months at a time. For the longest time and even now I still feel like my writing skills are complete shit and like I'm letting you all down, that's one of the worst feelings for me. Leave me a comment, send me a message, either here or on Facebook, I'd like some outside opinion. But now, dear readers, back to the story

--A few hours passed and Jake, CC, Ashley and the rescued capturees returned to the base.--

(Princess) Ashley's POV

Silence. Ever since Jake came back, that's all that filled the room with the 4 girls. Their sister was gone. The one who seemed most effected was Samii, who had gotten in a huge fight with everyone just the day before. She sat on the bed shaking, no matter how many blankets or jackets she had could warm her skin. Though her breathing was calm, she knew she couldn't hide her strong act for much longer. After a long while, Ashley came in, finally breaking the silence that had been burdened on the girls for so long. He walked over to her and sat by her trembling body. Pulling her into a hug, she immediately started to cry into his chest

Ashley's POV:

He tightened his grip a bit on the fragile girl in his arms as she started to cry. He didn't want to see her like this, he didn't want for her to be in so much pain. She had just lost her sister, part of him thought that the other three girl should be showing the same emotion.  Holding the crying girl, he slowly whispered into her ear "Everything is going to be okay. I won't let this happen again. None of us will."

(Princess) Samii's POV:

After her sister fell asleep in Ashley's arms, the 3 remaining princesses walked outside with their sister's boyfriend. "She locked herself away for years, she doesn't know the monster that our sister had become....." Samii started, looking at her sister, Ember.

(Princess) Ember's POV:

She couldn't wrap her head around the idea that her sister, the girl she had known and loved for so long was..... Gone. They would never see her alive again.Never hear her sweet voice or look into her sparkling blue eyes. In this realization, she started to hyperventilate, tears falling down her pale white face. She felt arms wrap tightly around her and she looked up to see Jinxx. She gripped to his shirt tightly. not wanting for any of this to be true..

Jinxx's POV:

He held the woman infront of him tightly, knowing what F.E.A.R. had done to both her and Jake. They had to be stopped. F.E.A.R. was getting bolder and he was sure that Andy and everyone else knew and backed his views, but now was not the time to discuss it. Now was the time to be there for both Ember and Jake, he couldn't let them down

Andy's POV:

'I have to talk to the guys' He said to himself as he and CC were walking towards Ashley's house, where the girls were all located. Jake was no where to be found and F.E.A.R. had to be stopped, as soon as possible. 'What could they want?' He thought to himself, zoning out a bit as he walked. 'This all started with the first princess, Ashley. What could F.E.A.R. want with her? Does she contain some special power?' He couldn't silence his thoughts until the two walked into his friend's house and saw the girls. One was sleeping, the other sobbing and the remaining two silently sitting, looking at the floor. He went over to Sammi and hugged her close, the look of revenge now seeping into his eyes

CC's POV:

'Everything is so quiet' He thought to himself as he pulled Melissa close to him, sitting down, and bringing her onto his lap in an attempt to comfort her. He looked over to Andy, and, seeing the look in his eyes really made him wonder what the tall, intelligent man had going through his mind. After a while, a voice broke the silence, one that no one was expecting
