Coincide- Chapter 3
I slid onto the cold counter waiting for Fang to come back. I took time to study my hand again to see what tactic would work best for fishing the stupid rock out.
"Ok, let me see." Fang said walking back in, shutting the door behind him. He took a seat on the bathroom stool (the toilet) and waited for me to surrender my stinging palm to him. That's not gonna happen.
"Hand over the tweezers." The throbbing hand was held against my stomach while I beckoned for the stupid metal thing with the other.
"You're going to get it out yourself?" He questioned looking at me like I was stupid.
"Yes." I said making a grab for tweezers.
"With your left hand?" He yanked them from my reach.
Ok. I hadn't thought about that part. I could always try it anyway and subject myself to more pain than maybe even necessary or I could secede to Fang's wrath. I'll take option number one, no contest. "Yes."
"Just give me your hand." He shot me a look that said 'I'm not in the mood for this'. I reciprocated with a look that sung out 'Hand over the tweezers or die'.
"Fine, when you're ready to admit you need help, come get me." He growled slamming the metal object onto the surface next to me, making me wince. Fang stormed out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind him. He could have done it harder, but my guess was he didn't want to break the door when we already had a broken window on our hands. We'll have to leave soon.
My trembling hand managed to pick up the tweezers despite my inability to stop my convulsions at the moment. I glared at my hand for a moment to gain some kind of authority over it, but it wasn't very successful. I was still shaking.
I lowered the metal until it hovered over the rock and proceeded with care until I was actually grasping the rock. I tried to tug the rock out, but it only brought searing pain. I know what you're thinking… 'She's had brain explosions, a broken nose and who knows what else and she's struggling with the pain of taking a little rock out of her hand'. Two words for you: It hurts. Let's see you dig something out of yourself.
I let out a breath and tried again, there was no way I was going to ask for Fang's help. If I had to, I'd be in here for hours, heck I could just cut off my hand if worse goes to worst.
"Max, I have to use the bathroom." Nudge called outside the door.
"I'll be out in a minute." I tried yanking again with no success.
"You've been in there for forever." She complained.
I rolled my eyes, hopping off the counter and allowing her in while I slipped out. I made sure to stay away from Fang's area of the room even though I could feel his eyes boring holes into my back as I sat on the bed, facing the wall of the bathroom.
Time to try again. I clutched the rock tightly with the tweezers, breaking into my skin to produce a light showing of blood. I hissed as I was met with pain, but not unrewarded because the gray pebble slid out spotted with red.
"Got it." I proclaimed proudly.
"That was sick." Angel said from behind me, looking a bit queasy.
"That was awesome!" Gazzy contradicted with a shout as he looked over the rock in my hand. It only took a self surgery to get the kid excited, that's good to know for future reference. I think I'll stick with buying him food to put a smile on that face.
Tossing the rock outside the window I turned to face the flock. "Everyone use the toilet, we're leaving."
I won't bore you with the order of who did their business first or last or whatever. But I do have to mention that Gazzy thought it'd be funny to write help on the mirror in the bathroom with soap, so I had to rinse that off before we left. The kid has a weird sense of humor.
"Alright, out the window then up and away." I instructed. All obeyed but Fang.
"Where we going?" He said with a tight jaw.
"The forest we saw a little bit back." I debated whether to say more or just leave it at that.
Fang's response came before I could decide. "When we get there, we need to talk."
He took off before I could protest and I scowled at his dark wings. Being alone with an angry Fang was never fun. "Great."
AN: Hope you enjoyed! Next chap should have some fax. Review and maybe it will get up by tomorrow.
And I have to ask that people don't use reviewing my stories as a way to comment on what they think of me as a person. Keep in mind that you don't know much about me, especially if your simply basing it off my profile. I don't mean to offend anyone by putting a short review about the books I've read next to them. That is simply my opinion and if you like a book that I didn't then good for you, I mean that very sincerely. I'm sorry if I offended anyone and I'll take off the reviews so no one thinks I'm being mean anymore. Have a great day guys.
