Disclaimer: I don't own the characters (Maximum Ride - James Patterson). The plot is mine as far as I know.
Max POV-
I twisted the cap on the table. Nearing the end of its swirls, it hung for a moment, and then spun lopsidedly once more. The cap fell. My tears reached the table before the plastic stopped trembling.
Fang is gone, and Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel. My friends. My family. My Flock.
A hand slammed on the table, crushing the cap and sending a drop of water flying across the table. Pain lanced up my arm, and I realized the body part was mine. I flipped my hand, fingers spread wide. Red dribbled into the pool of salty water on the grainy wood surface, blood mingling with tears.
I pulled on the shard of plastic wedged into my skin. Upon pulling it out, I realized that flakes of paint had peeled off and into my body.
Too late to do anything about it. Glancing at the clock for a second, I watched the blood stop flowing, the skin crawl back into place, and the puckered redness diminish.
Looking closer I could see dancing color underneath my skin. It disappeared.
Suddenly I felt sick. The people who had taken my Flock would pay for my loved ones, and pay for the loss of my own body. This even more incredible healing was not a fair trade for them.
No matter what the white coats thought, I still had a heart.
Total and I gathered ourselves at the entrance to the bar, and together we walked out. Together we would fight for unity. I could only hope the white coats hadn't already killed the Flock.
