Chapter 4:

MAX POV:

I woke up hazily, my vision blurry. My muscles were weak, and I felt nauseated again, like I would pass out. I tried to tell my body to move, to start freaking out. But it wouldn't listen. Or, my nervous system was just very slow and would respond in about ten minutes or so. It could happen.

I realized my upper body was naked. My skin felt cold on the steel table. There was a blanket over top of me, but it felt weird. Awkward even.

You know how they say your memory comes rushing back after you pass out? Well it does. Let me tell you that.

Like a huge wave, a tsunami, it all came back. Being in the car accident, trapped by Ari. Knocked out. So, now what? I was at the School, or an Itex headquarter or something. Wherever I was, I knew I didn't want to be here.

I wrinkled my noise at the antiseptic smell, and tried to look around to figure out where I was. But my head was in some sort of bound so it wouldn't move.

And neither would my wrists.

Or my ankles.

Then, I heard whispering. Argue whispering. Like Fang and I do, like, all the time. I tried to make myself still again, like I was asleep, so I could listen to what they were saying.

I recognized both voices. Ari and Jeb. Ari was mad at Jeb about something.

'Ari, in the condition she is in, we can't operate.'

'Why not?! You always seemed able to before, with other experiments.'

Jeb sighed in frustration. 'Ari, you're being a child.'

'I am a child' Ari snarled.

Jeb continued on, not noticing Ari's response. Or not caring. I almost felt bad for Ari, but then realized this was why I was here in the first place. Because of Ari.

'She lost too much blood in the car accident' Jeb continued. 'We can't operate now, she'll lose so much more, and then die in your hands. Do you want that?'

Ari gritted his teeth. 'Why not get a donor? Fang or something?"

Jeb sighed again. 'Fang was hurt just as bad as Max, probably worse. Taking his blood would kill him.'

I felt my breath become slightly more shallow and quicker. Please let Fang be okay.

I forced myself to take deep, even breaths. Or else I wouldn't be able to hear them anymore.

'Well, then have him dead. He is no use to me!'

'Ari, Fang is a valuable experiment. Not as valuable as Max, but he is still valuable.'

I smirked. When I got out of this, if I ever got out of this, I would make sure to rub that in Fang's face.

'The scientists have agreed to keep him around to do more testing.'

What about any of the others? The younger ones?'

'They already have little blood, too, Ari. At the moment, there are no donors.'

'So you can't operate?' Ari hissed.

'No, Ari. But as soon as we can, we will.'

'How long will that be, Jeb?' Ari said through his teeth.

'it could be awhile, but you're plan can continue as followed.'

I heard Ari let out a breath of relief. He seemed more relaxed. 'How?'

'Another procedure can be done. Then you can take Max to where you want to take her.'

I couldn't see him, but I knew Ari was smiling that evil smile, and my heart beat quickened. My breathing became suddenly quick, and the computers beside me started beeping.

Both Ari and Jeb looked over in sync, and walked over to me.

'Hello, Maximum. How you feeling?'

I snarled, 'I don't know Jeb. Put yourself in my shoes for a minute. How would you feel strapped to a metal bed, naked, and knew something bad was going to happen to you?'

For a split second, I thought I saw regret and pain flash across his face. But then it was gone, if it was ever there.

He didn't say anything, just went over to the machines I was hooked up to. He typed in a few things, and a voice cackled over an intercom.

'Hello?'

'Dr. Bonyard, this is Jeb Batchelder. You are needed in room 34A, for Subject 6's procedure.'

'Right away, .'

The intercom clicked, and I stared at Jeb.

He did not look at me though. He didn't make eye contact. Instead, he went to the other side of the room, and put on some latex gloves. My breath caught in my throat.

He picked up a small needle, with a few millimetres of a scary looking syrup. I struggled against the Velcro straps, but it was no use. The needle came close to my arm, and with a small prick, the venom was in my bloodstream. I braced myself, ready to black out, but I never did. Instead, I felt like jelly, like I had no bones. I tried to move my fingertips, but there was no response. I was paralyzed. I couldn't do anything.

Which, you can imagine, drove me nuts.

Ari helped Jeb remove the Velcro straps. My mind kicked into overdrive, as it started yelling at me. Move! Move, move, move! Fight! Get outta here!

Do you think my body responded? Nah.

He then took off the blanket, and rolled me over on my side. I tried to suck in my stomach due to the cold touch of the steel table, but then realized again that I couldn't move.

I could still feel emotions, and I realized that my half brother and father were seeing me naked. Gross. Awkward. Ew.

They strapped me down again as soon I was flat down on my stomach, and just as another Whitecoat, Dr. Bonyard, came in through the door.

'Ah, good. You prepared her for me. You did stabilize her, right, Dr. Batchelder?'

Doctor. Jeb was a doctor now. Oooh. Chills.

'Yes.'

'Perfect. Now, can you bring me the hot wax?'

I small bowl of wax was brought over to her, and she took it in her hands.

She used a large popsicle stick like thing to spread the wax in a thin strip on my back.

'This will seal the wings into her back, Ari' Dr. Bonyard explained to Ari, like a doctor explaining something to a child patient. Like, how a needle wouldn't hurt or something.

I gritted my teeth. Those evil, nasty, terrible scientists.

I felt the hot wax on my back, and over my wings. Again, I tried to move them, but it was no use.

'This wax is very strong' Dr. Bonyard continued. Dr. Bonyard. What kind of name is that anyway? Sounded like barnyard. I managed to smile against the cold steel table.

'it will hold her wings together until we can do the operation.'

Uh, what operation doctor?

Then, I was flipped back over onto my back, and Dr. Bonyard put a leather strap around my front side, right underneath my breasts. Then, Jeb flipped me over again (the movements were beginning to make me nauseous).

'This is for extra security' Dr. Bonyard explained to Ari. I felt my stomach tighten as she tightened the leather strap around my back. 'just to be safe.'

Then, Dr. Bonyard stood up from the chair she must have been sitting on. 'Good. All finished.'

I assume Jeb nodded. 'Come Ari, let's get the truck.'

I heard Ari and Jeb leave through the door, and I was left with Dr. Bonyard.

She got up silently, and went over to the intercom Jeb had used to call her.

'Hello?'

'I need added security on room 34A. Subject 6 has just come out of her procedure.'

'yes, Dr. Bonyard'

Dr. Bonyard came back to me again, her heels clicking against the tile floor. She lifted me up off of the table and onto a scary looking chair. Like the ones they have in dentists office's. She sat me down and put on my t-shirt. I didn't say thanks.

Then she bound my wrists behind my back with duct tape, and my ankles with duct tape. Oh, and my mouth. Let's not forget my mouth.

She put a sweet smelling cloth to my face, and in moments the world had gone fuzzy, and my world, black.

Again .

* Sneak Preview for next chapter & Don't forget to review ! *

Boxes of supplies were stacked up against the back wall. Also, blankets and pillows to sleep on. The supplies for a fire were all ready, and, to Ari it seemed, all that was needed now was some company.

He looked over at Max. Already done, he thought.
