Lies and secrets
Max's PoV
I quickly opened my eyes and sucked in my breath in a low hiss. I didn't move a finger, to afraid that I might wake the others, but instead just laid there looking up at the tree branch above me. (Yes, we were sleeping in trees again.)
Ok, here's a little update for all yall out there: It's been about 26 hours since Iggy and Gazzy had gotten us out of the Itex headquarters. We had been on the run since then, and because I am such a paranoia, we had been flying for like 20 of those hours with the exceptions from potty-breaks and food stops.
Now we were lying in a tree (again) trying to rest before heading further West, away from Florida. Now, back to the story!
I hadn't realized I was holding my breath until my lungs were practically screaming for more air.
That dream… I knew I was gonna have it for the rest of my life. It was like my skin was still burning from where he had touched me.
I instinctively pressed my legs together, making sure there was no way in. I squeezed my eyes shut trying to erase the memory of Volchok's eyes so close to mine while he was on top of me…
"Max?"
Shitt!
I quickly opened my eyes again and looked in the direction the voice came from.
"Yeah?"
I found the owner of the voice (not the voice inside my head, sorry to disappoint) and looked into a pair of dark eyes on another branch a little higher then mine.
"You ok?" Fang asked, closing the computer we'd managed to snatch from the Itex headquarters.
"Sure, why? Shouldn't I be or something?"
He narrowed his eyes, but just a little and I was surprised I actually had caught the movement when it was this dark. Just shows how well I know Fang I guess.
"I don't know… they didn't do anything to you, you know, other then put you in that tank when you were caught, did they?"
I gulped, but I don't think he noticed.
Go on Max, tell him. I think you need to talk about it.
And let him know that I couldn't stand up for myself? Yeah right.
Max, you need to tell him. It's not good for you to hold this in. it wasn't your fault. You were drugged.
No way, its way to embarrassing.
Max-
Look, I'm not telling! Just shut up ok?
"Max?" Fang asked again when I didn't answer him.
"No, nothing to tell. Well except for that whole Jeb thing, but I already told you that so…"
He looked at me for a few seconds more before he answered. "Ok. Go back to sleep. Your shift isn't until another hour. Night…"
He opened his laptop again and I mentally sighed. Then I closed my eyes again, but without hope for more sleep.
Fang's PoV
'So she did have a nightmare…' I thought when she had closed her eyes again.
I knew I didn't image that whole holding her breath thingi. She was definitely lying about nothing happening.
And I was obvious she was having a conversation with that voice of hers when I asked if anything had happened. And I didn't miss the gulp either…
Max. What had they done to you? Whatever it was, I knew you didn't deserve it… you never do.
As I was watching her, the wind ruffled her hair from where it was hanging under her. It didn't really shine; it sort of just glowed in the moonlight.
Her right arm fell down from where it had laid on her stomach. It was now hanging down like her hair.
That's when I saw the scratch. It was all the way from her armpit and almost down to her elbow. But it was too straight and deep for it to just be a cut from a tree or something.
"Max?"
She opened her eyes again and looked over at me.
"What happened to your arm?"
I could've swore her eyes widened a little before she got control over herself.
Ahm—I just… I must've come near the glass when I broke through the window."
I resisted the urge to raise my eyebrow at her.
"Kay… night."
She was definitely lying.
And that is the end of chapter two! Huh, didn't know I would post the same day, but whatever) Please review! don't know exactly what to write next so some tips always comes in handyJ
