The Void: Frozen Threat

Lurking Power

----Beta's P.O.V----

I look up seeing the shot had come from the rooftops where several people were perched all with snipers. I hear a grunt behind me and turn around seeing One topple over holding his side where blood turns his shirt and hand red.

"Shit!" Mark and another women crouch beside One attending to him while the other men in my group point there guns several of the guards.

"Jax call them off!" I look at him with pure rage, tempted to pull the trigger on his head.

"No can do Beta your invading in our land and we don't like that" Jax smiles smugly and I look at him noticing what he has become.

"Your not thinking straight!" I yell at him and he snorts and laughs it off.

"I know what I wanna be Beta and this is my new group" He motions behind him and a bunch of armed guards walk out off the building and point there guns at us.

I watch in shock as the guards push forward with Wolf, Luna, Sky, and Rainy tied up. 

"Don't worry Beta everyone else got away....although these people are major dickheads" Wolf laughs and then a guard swings his gun around hitting him on the head making him fall to the ground.

"Jax call them off...last warning!" I point the gun at his head and before I pull the trigger I feel someone put a gun to the back of my head.

"Jax isn't in charge I am so you better put your gun away before you join our friends on the stage over there" I hear a serious voice from behind me and I lower my guns.

"All of your friends can go because I'm feeling nice...but your staying for further questioning" I instantly turn around and swing my arm to punch the mystery person but he grab's my fist and head butts me making me lose my balance and fall in the mud.

I look around my vision blurred and my ears ringing from the head butt. I watch as the guards force my friends out of the gates and up the hill away from me. 

"Get up now!" The same man who took made me fall looks down on me.

"Have some sympathy Finn" Jax holds his hand out for me but I push it away standing up by myself.

"I never want your help again..." I whisper into Jax's ear.

He just looks at me and for a second I think I have won him over but then his eyes grow angry and he hits me making me back up a bit. I put a hand up to my cheek feeling a searing pain and I know it will be bruised soon.

"Come now" Jax looks at me as if he didn't just hit me and walks towards the doors flanked by Finn. I stand still not wanting to follow but two armed guards push me forward so I start walking following Jax.

----One's P.O.V----

I look around from where I lay on a metal surgical table while everyone rushes around the room trying to stop me from bleeding out. I didn't feel any pain, the only pain I felt was that I knew my old friend was gone and he had took Beta. I looked around seeing several nurses and doctors, but what caught my eye was Alex looking at me with worry.

I glanced down at my side and saw bandages soaked in blood wrapped around the wound. I didn't know how bad it was seeming all I remembered was a loud shot and then instant pain. I was sure I was going to die but It wasn't at all bad because I felt peaceful and I knew after some time everyone would keep going after I died, sure Alex and everyone else who knew who I was was going to be upset about my death. Well all of them except Jax...He had watched me get shot and did nothing about it and when I had looked at him his eyes showed nothing but hatred and I knew he didn't care for any of us after we had left him to die and had not some how saved him from Dale who had tortured him for 5 years. 

"One...stay awake!" I look up at Alex and he looks at me with worry before placing a shaking hand on my hand and kissing my forehead.

"I have to go make sure everyone is alright....please don't die while i'm gone" He smiles but I knew he wanted to cry.

"I won't...go" I start tearing up as he leaves knowing I didn't know if I was going to die or not.

----Rainy's P.O.V----

"Rainy open up I brought you food!" I stay silent not wanting to answer the voice calling out to me as I looked down at a photo.

"Where have you gone..." I scan the face I once knew as someone I trusted, now he was a monster...a monster someone had to stop.

"Mommy is that father?" I look down at my son wondering if I should tell him, but I knew the answer to that question because he as only 5 and it would cause him more pain than anything else.

"Yes, he was a great man and he even named you...Ace"  I smile at him knowing he has come so far in 5 years.

"Can I go outside now and play with my friends?" Ace looks at me with a bright smile and I slowly nod.

"Yes, let's go outside now" I head towards the door and open it followed by Ace.

We walk outside and I see people rushing in and out of the med bay near by and I instantly feel aware of the situation again. One was shot by one of Jax's guards and Beta was captured. Everyone had gone back to there places once we had arrived and I had spoken to Wolf about getting Beta back but now I noticed that may not happen for quiet some time.

"Rainy!" I look towards the direction of the voice spotting Alex running towards me looking out of breath.

"Ace why don't you go play now" I whisper to my child and he instantly heads off towards the makeshift playground which is where most children were at.

"Rainy we have news of problems at the east wall...something to do with a horde" Alex takes deep breaths and looks at me waiting for me to say something.

"I will deal with this...can you stay with Ace while i'm away?" I see him nod a little and I head off towards the far wall.

"This horde can't be to big we have killed so many of those things in the area in the last 5 years you would think they would be gone for good...." I walk faster as I start smelling smoke ahead.

When I get there I gasp in shock at the scene unfolding before me, at least a dozen or so infected walk through a gap in the gate caused by what looks to be a car slammed through the side of the wall.

"Rainy throw me my gun!" I look over seeing one of the wall commanders named Wyatt fighting two infected with a piece of wood.

"Here catch!" I toss the handgun which he then catches and fires two shots off killing both infected.

I then watch as two of the other wall commanders start unloading bullets into the heads of the infected knocking all off them down except one which is trapped under the support beam of a fallen guard tower. I walk up and pull out my wooden staff which has has nails and sharpened blades on the end of it and I shove it through the skull of the infected making it stop moving.

"How the hell did this happen?" I look at Wyatt and he grunts.

"People came from the bushes in the forest and rammed the car into the damn gate causing the surrounding infected to swarm us" He spits on the ground.

"Can you guys fix this quick?" I look at him with worry

"Yeah the wall can be fixed but the tower will take a little longer considering we are low on bigger logs right now" He looks at the wall.

"Good I want full time watch on that hole till it is repaired...at least 2 or 3 people at a time watching this" He nods and I walk back towards where I left Ace and Alex hoping Ace didn't cause trouble.
