Sorry it took so long to update people! But exams are coming up, and I'm supposed to be studying right now :) . Anyway, read and enjoy!
Fang!
Fang: What.
Disclaimer! (in a sing-song voice)
Fang: Why should I?
Cause I'll get you a cd full of emo music.
Fang: *sigh* Gaaraismine does not own Maximum Ride, but has full rights to her OC Shiiganah.
Shiiganah: *appears out of no where* What about me?
Fang: Gah! Where the hell did you come from?
Anyway, read away!
Iggy's POV:
It feels like it's been ages since I was brought here, although Shiiganah claims it's been a day. We've been talking more about escaping, and she says that my leg is almost healed because of a regeneration shot they gave me, so they'll start experimenting on me tomorrow probably. I'm not looking forward to it at all. Shiiganah always sounds like she's in pain, but she says it's not that bad after wards and the worst part is the regeneration needle, because the pain is indescribable. I'm glad I was unconscious when the put the needle in my leg.
As same as what happened yesterday, I heard footsteps before the door opened, the light not warming my face at all. But the figure stepped inside the room and closed the door before dropping Shiiganah on the cement floor. I smelled the odor of wet dog and sweat. Must be Ari.
"Hello blind kid." He said, a toothy grin most likely cracking his face in half. "How've you been? Has Shiiganah done anything to you?" He walked slowly towards me.
"Gee, you make it sound like I'M the rapist here," Shiiganah said, causing us both to turn our attentions to her. "-freak."
"What that?" I heard a body slam into the wall. "I didn't quite hear you." He hissed out.
"I called you a freak." She said, no pain evident in her voice. "You turn into a wolf and have bulky wings on your back, no where near as fine as Iggy's might I add."
"And you destroyed a whole plant of the School by yourself." Ari's fist made contact with her face, and I heard bones crack.
"Ah, thos're the days." She said, her words slurred and harder to understand from her injured jaw. "Yoo shoulda seen thr faces when ah-" There was a whoosh of air over me and then a crack as she hit the wall, slumping to the ground. Ari stayed where he was.
"You always talk of escaping, b****, but I don't see how two blind teens are going to get out of the School anytime soon." And with that, he closed the door, waking away with a crazed laugh.
Shiiganah wasn't moving. That or she just wasn't making a single noise, which is probable for her.
"Shiiganah?" No answer. "Shiiganah? You okay?"
"Oh I'm just fine." She whispered, her voice cracked and dry. "Ari cracked the wall when he threw me against it, and I'm fine and dandy. Actually, I think he fractured my beautiful flexible spine. However, at the moment that's an advantage."
"A fractured spine is an advantage?" I questioned.
"No, the cracked wall. I didn't just provoke him to save your sorry butt, I wanted him to break the door. But the wall might work too. In fact, I think it's closer to the point than the door."
"That's good."
"That's neutral, because it also resulted in our fighting power having a broken spine."
"I can fight!"
"Suuuuurrre. That's why you're here and not with your flock."
"That's not fair, Ari's really strong!"
"He also has strategy and technique of a 3-year-old. He's pretty easy to take down. It's the new robot things they test me on now that are a problem, because my attacks focus on using momentum and causing enough pain to halt their attacks or slow them down, or shutting down the enemy's nerve system in various places. Those don't really work so well against calculating robots." I couldn't think of how to reply to that, so we were silent for a while.
"So then what do we do? If you're the fighter and your spine is broken..."
"The scientists will patch me up, but my spine will be more prone to damage and very sore. But considering the stuff I've been through, I should be fine." There she went again, saying stuff about how her past had been worse than this. I couldn't think of anything worse than this, but when I asked, she stuck to what she told me when we first talked. A crazy scientist dude had stuck a dragon soul in her, and it all went downhill from there. It sounded like she had been in lots of pain.
"Get some sleep Iggy, your experimenting, or, pursuit of knowledge by torturing mutants, begins tomorrow." She said ominously, emitting a snarl in her sleep seconds later.
*later*
Okay, so either Shiiganah's invincible, psychotic, or she wasn't trying to make me worry. And considering Shiiganah, I can pretty much rule out the third option. She's also admitting that it hurts, so the first option's out too. The reason I'm saying this is, experimentations are hell. And although Ill admit the needle is by far the worst part, it all hurts. It wasn't this bad before. The crazy girl's guess is that because Max is supposed to save the world, they don't really care what happens to the rest of the flock. It kinda makes sense, because lately it's been all about Max. Everything goes back to her and everyone's after her.
Shiiganah still gets more than me though. Ari's carrying her, and it's like she's dead. No retorts. There's another guy carrying me over his shoulder, but he hasn't said a word.
They dropped both of us on the floor, earning a grunt from Shiiganah. The door slammed shut, and I pulled myself closer to her.
"Are you okay?"
"If I had a bomb for every time you've asked me that, I'd be able to blow up this place." She was so quiet I almost missed it. "They didn't heal my spine. It hurts like hell."
"Oh."
We both lay there, neither of us able to move. The needle was almost done, leaving me almost completely drained of energy and healed. So I did something nice. I picked her up, walking to one of two beds she had informed me were in the room yesterday with difficulty, even though she was really skinny. I laid her down on the hard bed, and as I turned, her hand brushed my wrist.
"Thank you."
Those words made me feel like I had done something truly amazing.
That's all for now folks! Read and Review! I love criticism! Especially arguing with it! =D
