Hi, you have my boredom to blame for this chapter, unless you like it them thank it.
Oh my it's Fang!
Fang: 'sup.
Me: Aren't you forgeting something?
Fang: No.
Me: *hits Fang upside the head* THE DISCLAIMER!
Fang: FINE! Scarlett Mist does not own Max. That would be wierd to own another girl.
Boredom: You should have gotten Iggy to do this.
Me: I know, RIGHT?
Iggy's POV
I woke up to find Rebel gone. I was really worried about her, even if she could take care of herself. I sat on the bed thinking about what the flock could have been doing right now. I wondered if they were on their way, if they were even alive.
Before my thoughts could lead me to that Jeb came in and lead me to the same room Rebel had been in yesterday. He closed the door, at first everything was quiet then I heard Rebel behind me. "IGGY RUN!" I could see that there were at least fifty Erasers behind her, all thirsty for blood.
As soon as she was near me she grabbed my arm and ran as fast as she could. We reached the end and they had stopped waiting for directions. We heard it over the speaker. "Subject 13, Subject 7 you are to fight them until you or them are defeated."
I turned and saw that Rebel was crouched on the floor ready to attack. She jumped at the first one and took it down easily, one went to attack her from behind but I attacked him just in time. Rebel and I immediately got back to back and started attacking as many erasers as possible. Ten minutes later they were all on the floor.
She looked at me and smiled. "Nice teamwork."
The door opened and three Whitecoats came in all with clipboards in hand. "Congratulations you are both excellent together." The first one spoke.
I turned to look at the one behind him, Jeb. He was looking at Rebel and she was looking at him almost as if they were having a conversation.
She looked at me and just frowned like she wanted to tell me something but if she did she didn't say.
They walked us back to the room and closed the door as soon as they were gone Rebel broke down crying on the floor. I ran to her and held her in my arms. "Rebel, what's wrong?"
She pushed me away and walked to her bed. "I should have never met you, Iggy. This wasn't supposed to happen."
I looked at her confused. "What are you talking about?"
She stretched her wings out and for the first time I saw they were red with the bottom feathers black. "We can't let your friends rescue you, they'll die, we'll die. We have to stop them before they get to close."
I took a deep breath and walked to my bed. "How do you know this'll happen?"
She stood and walked to over to my bed. "Iggy promise me something." She sat next to me. "No matter what, you and your family come first."
I nodded. "I promise." She yawned and l laughed. "I guess kicking Eraser butt can really get to you."
She laughed. "You know this is the first time I've ever really laughed."
She stood up. "Rebel, how do you know what's going to happen?"
She turned back to me. "I told you I have certain skills that help me survive; one of those is having conversations with my other people in my mind." Good night, Iggy.
She walked to her bed and lay down but with her eyes still open. Do you miss them?
Who?
Your flock.
Yes but I want them to be safe.
What were their names?
Max; she was the leader. Fang; her second-in-command. Nudge; she was the motor-mouth. Gazzy; he was my best friend. And Angel; the baby in the family and also the mind-reader.
You know you're the only person I've ever met that I don't hate; everyone always wants something from me.
Well I don't want anything from you.
I know but I wish I could at least remember who I was before this, even If I can't go back.
Why can't you go back?
Because the only thing I didn't forget was that before I came here I killed someone.
Who?
My brother, but I don't even remember how. I just remember seeing him on the floor a pool of blood surrounding him and I was just standing over him crying covered in his blood.
Do you remember his name?
At first she didn't answer I thought she must have fallen asleep but she answered. His name was Nicholas. Nicholas Shepard.
I could hear her crying. I stood up and walked to her bed. She hugged me and we both sat on the bed with her head in my shoulder. "I don't know what happened. I loved him so much that I would have done anything for him."
I hugged her tighter. "Shh, It's okay. How do you know it wasn't them who killed him?"
She looked me in the eye, hers full of hatred. "If they killed him I will make sure to destroy them."
Rebel's POV
That night I went to bed in Iggy's arms. Of course I couldn't sleep in peace. It was my only memory, my last memory, of my brother. He was my age which made him my twin brother but that was all I knew about him. We were only four but we were ten times smarter than any teenager.
We were running in the hallway trying to get out. I could hear the Erasers behind us. I turned to look at him, the moment I saw him I knew we weren't going to make it.
His black hair covered his face but there was no hiding how he felt, he was terrified. We stopped in a dead end and turned but it was too late the Erasers were there.
They took me one way and him the other. I tried to break free but there was nothing I could do they dragged me into a room. Everything after that is blurry. Up until his death.
I held my hand to my cheek and saw the tears, I was crying but I didn't know why.
I looked down and saw why, it was him on the floor. There was blood all over him and you couldn't hide the knife wound in him stomach. I tried to stop the bleeding but I knew it was too late he had lost too much. He had no pulse and he wasn't breathing. I lost him, my only family. I lost Nick.
The memory stopped there. But not tonight there was more to it.
I looked at him and pulled his hair out of his eyes. They were still open, they were a dark brown almost black. I put my hand over them and closed them. I closed my eyes and lay down next to him, not caring if anyone found me. Nothing mattered anymore, he was gone. There was nothing they could do to me that would hurt me as much as this.
I guess after a while they came to get me but I never knew what they did to his body. I always knew it was my fault; I was the one who decided to escape. I just wish I knew what truly caused his death.
I guess Iggy felt when I woke up because he opened his eyes. He looked worried. "What's wrong?" he asked me.
He held a hand to my cheek and I saw there were tears. Mine.
"It was just a nightmare. Don't worry I'll be fine." I gave him a reassuring smile.
He didn't look convinced. "What was it about?"
I was still in his arms and I got up not meeting his eyes. "It was nothing."
He walked to me. "If it was nothing you wouldn't be crying."
I wiped my eyes. "It was about my brother. The day he died. My last memory of him, it was like it was the first time I was alive because after that I remembered everything. If it wasn't for me I'd still have him."
He took my chin in his hand and I looked up at him. "It wasn't your fault you wanted out and he got it, at least he isn't stuck in here."
I looked in his eyes and he could probably see the hurt in mine. "Iggy, you don't have his face stuck in your mind. Before today I didn't even remember how he looked, before this dream he was just a memory but now that I know what he looked like. I saw how scared he was. I saw his lifeless body in the ground, I didn't remember how I felt about him until now." He trapped me in a hug and I cried into his shirt, covering it with my tears.
He patted my back. "Shh, that doesn't matter anymore. You brother wouldn't have wanted you to blame yourself for his death." My crying was calming down.
We stood like that for what seemed like hours. I finally stopped crying and went to sit down on one bed. He came and sat next to me. "We need to get you out of here, Iggy. Once your friends are close by they'll release you and once you track them they'll catch you, unless…" God no, not that.
He looked at me and noticed I didn't intend to finish my sentence. "Unless what?"
I shook my head. "The point is we have to get you out, and for that we need a plan."
Boredom: Review if you want the next chapter.
Me: Don't be pushy. I'll post it either way.
Fang:*whispers* That's what she says now but wait till she gets mad at someone and takes it out on others.
Me: I heard that! Seriously, What happened to the Fang who shares his feelings?
Fang: What do you expect! You brainwashed my sister, don't think I haven't read the other story * Turns to reader* Let me tell you what she plans to d-
Me: *puts hand over Fang's mouth* Shut up or I'll Kill you! If they want to know about my story other story they can read it! This has nothing to do with it!
Boredom: *Turns to reader* Please just review. It makes her happy.
