Chapter 6

( You guys are CRAZY. I posted 3 CHAPTERS yesterday! And I just recently got, like, 5 reviews on chapter 5! So here's chappy 6. BTW, I was thinking of throwing in some Niggy. What d'you guys think? Lemme know in the comments.)

Max POV

My eyes opened slowly to a big white room. Ugh. I'd been here before. I tried to sit up, but I was tied to the table. I moved my head to the left and saw Fang. He was still unconscious. But I saw his chest moving up and down with his breathing. Good sign. At least he was alive.

You're awake?

Angel asked. I turned my head to look at her.

Ya, baby. It's okay. We'll get out of this. We've been here before.

I know, Max.

I closed my eyes and concentrated. The rest of the flock was out there…Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge, Total, and Akila. They were safe, for the moment, with Iggy watching them. Let's hope they can find a safe place to hide until we get back. Now, to deal with our dilemma here…We were all tied up in a lab, Fang was still unconscious, and, wait for it…

Omega just walked into the room along with two of the newest mutant freaks.

"Hello, Maximum. You remember me?" He asked cheerfully.

"Oh ya. Aren't you that mutant with the superiority complex?" I asked. Omega looked taken aback.

"Silence! You will not talk to your master that way!" One of the mutants spoke up. I finally got a good look at them. They were a cross of a human and a scorpion. Let's call them Scorpios. I know, genius, right?

Wait rewind there, did they just call that egotistical censored our master?! "Are you telling me that this freak is supposed to be our 'master'?" I would've put quotes around the word, but I was kinda tied down at the moment (okay, bad joke). Omega approached me.

"That's right. The scientists put me in charge of all of the new models, and you. But you have become quite an inconvenience. I'm here to exterminate you, Maximum." He said calmly.

I heard a deep growl and looked over to see Fang glaring at Omega furiously. I was extremely relieved to see him awake. "Your boyfriend too, if you don't cooperate." I blushed.

"H-he's not-" I started. Omega held up his hand.

"We'll be taking the little one first. Then when she is disposed-of, you'll be next. Your boyfriend will be kept here for further experiments, but he'll live for a little longer, so please cooperate." Omega said. He walked over to Angel and started letting her off of the table. She looked at me helplessly.

Run, Angel. As soon as he lets you out. Just leave us. We can get out of here by ourselves. Let everyone else know we're okay. We'll get out of here eventually. Just focus on yourself right now. Get out. Whatever you have to do, get out. Do you understand me?

She nodded slightly. As soon as Omega undid the last iron bar holding Angel in, she shot off the table and through the roof. God, I loved that kid. Thank god we were on the top level, too. I watched her zoom off and smiled.

Good girl

I thought.

Omega was furious. The two Scorpios were staring up at the ceiling, but couldn't do anything. Hah. They didn't even have wings. So Angel got away. Easy as that. Yet, here Fang and I sat. Just waiting. Omega cussed under his breath. "Well, I guess it's your turn Maximum. And thanks to your little friend, your boyfriend gets to die, too. Omega let me out as two more Scorpios entered the room. They grabbed me and Omega went and undid Fang. The other two Scorpios grabbed Fang. I looked at him and he nodded slightly. I could barely even tell if he did. At the exact same time, we elbowed our Scorpios in the stomach and they doubled over. Seems like we've found their weak spot already. Fang and I shot through the opening that Angel had made. When we were outside, we both burst out laughing.

We flew for a few hours, but couldn't find the flock. It was getting dark, and we didn't want to have to fly while we couldn't see any Flyboys or Scorpios, so Fang and I landed in a cave. It was a pretty small cave, so it was kinda awkward. I started a fire and Fang went hunting. He came back with a couple of desert rats and we roasted them over the fire.

There was an awkward amount of space between us. I knew Fang was waiting for me to make the first move. To let him know how I felt. I sighed. He looked over at me, looking for an answer. I turned away quickly. I didn't know what to say.

Who're you kidding, Max? You know you love him. You just have to say it. You already know he loves you.

My stupid voice. It's extremely good at popping up at the worst possible times. I looked back over at Fang. I knew the voice was right. Why couldn't I just admit it to him. I looked him in the eyes.

"Fang…I…I…"

(AN: I know, the worst possible ending. But the next chapter will be up soon. I may even do it now. Toodles!)
