Hi! me again! Guess what? We've got a new chappie! Yay! Oh And as for the mystery POV in chapter four I will explain in this chappie who that is. SORRY the last one was so short but this one is much longer.
Chapter 8
Max's POV: Get Out!
I don't know how long ago I was unconscious but when I woke up there was a mattress underneath me and it was soft, though thin. I was surrounded by darkness and I panicked for a moment before realizing my eyes were shut. I tried to open them, nothing happened. Another wave of panic hit me. I heard hushed voices whispering frantically all around me.
"But how did this happen, it worked on Vietta.,"
"Trust me I know Anne, but Vietta was human when we added panther to her, I didn't realize the Avian DNA would reject it the new cells."
"But Dr. Walters we drained her of the new DNA it's gone! Shouldn't she be alright now!"
"Anne," Dr. Walters sighed, "She was already dead, it wasn't going to bring her back!"
"Did you try to resuscitate her?" Anne demanded.
"Of course we did," he said indignantly, "We tried everything!"
"Well you didn't try hard enough, the Director is going to see you all fired for this I hope you realize that, this subject is our most successful recombinant life form to date!"
"But," Dr. Walters pointed out placidly, "We have Vietta now and to I like her a lot better than this girl, she's so much more cooperative."
"That's no excuse for killing this one!" Anne screeched. Huh, I thought now isn't that funky, they think I'm dead. I chuckled before I could think about how they would know I was alive if I did so. Then I realized no sound had come out. In fact the chuckle never escaped me at all. I couldn't move, I tried to wiggle my fingers, nothing. I tried to wiggle my toes, nothing. Huh, maybe I was dead.
"You!" Anne shouted startling me, "Yes, you, lab assistant, take the body out to the crematorium and tell whoever is in there to burn the body, we already have all the samples we need." There was a squeak of assent and I felt my cot move, I still couldn't see anything but I heard the door creak open and then slam shut behind the assistant wheeling me out. I thought about what Anne had said, the crematory... Well CRAP! They were going to burn me up alive and there was nothing I could do to stop them or even let them know I was alive. Fear flooded my motionless body. What on Earth was I going to do? When we got to the crematorium I heard the assistant talking in hushed voices to the person staffed here, whoever that was. Then she left and for a moment nothing happened, then I heard, "Hey Max, don't worry, we'll be out of here soon."
Gazzy's POV
"Oh my God, " Nudge whispered. Wow I thought she must really be in shock if that's all she's got to say. But I had to agree with her I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. Dr. M's house had been completely trashed. The had been stood up against the frame when we got there, the wood on the side splintered as if it had been kicked down. Every other door on the first floor was in a similar shape. I whistled softly it looked like someone was looking for something and tried every room without bothering to check if the door was locked.
"Dr. Martinez...Ella!" I heard Fang call.
"Who's there!" Came a shrill voice and Ella came into view at the top of the stairs brandishing a hammer. I presumed she was fixing a door upstairs. As she saw us her eyes widened then instantly narrowed into thin slits. As if in a trance she lowered the hammer slightly and walked towards us. Ella set the hammer down on the bottom stair and shoved Fang as hard as she could. He gave a surprised noise and fell backward onto the ground. Suddenly Ella was shouting.
"HOW COULD YOU ABANDON MAX LIKE THAT DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE YOU CUT HER OFF! THATS RIGHT! I KNOW WHAT YOU DID AND I KNOW SHE WASN'T THE TRAITOR YOU ARE! ALL OF YOU BETRAYED HER AND I WISH I COULD KILL YOU RIGHT ABOUT NOW!" and she spun around and seized the hammer, brandishing it threateningly. Fang stepped cautiously forward and seized her wrist with one hand and plucked the hammer out of her grasp with the other.
"You," Ella spat poisonously, "she loved you, how could you do that to her." She glared at Fang, who for once looked startled. There was a long silence and finally it was broken as Iggy asked, "How did you even find out," At the same time Angel asked softly "What do you mean she's not a traitor?"
"I found out," Ella began "from my Mom, who is going undercover at the school, she's also Max's voice. And I know she's not a traitor. Your voice told you to kick her out didn't it Angel?" Angel looked surprised and nodded. "Your voice," She spat, "Is a mutant named Vietta who works for the school." Angel lost her balance and fell backward shock written on her face. I went to help her up but she stayed on the ground waving away my outstretched hand. Tears spilled over her eyes and finally I grabbed her hand and pulled her up, enveloping her in a hug. Suddenly someone pulled us apart, looking up I saw Fang. He glowered at Angel.
"How on earth could you do that ? I thought you wouldn't be telling us unless you were absolutely sure, YOU SAID YOU WERE SURE! THE VOICE TOLD ME THIS THE VOICE TOLD ME THAT! What the HELL Angel! Now we have no idea where she is and if we find her she'll probably tear our heads off, but you know what? We deserve it!" I swerved in front of Angel who was crying hysterically.
"SHUT UP AND LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE!" I shouted. Fang looked at me suddenly his mask of calm was back.
"This is her fault Gazzy, if it weren't for her we wouldn't be in this mess." Ella, who had been sitting with her head in her hands, looked up at this told Fang icily, "That's not true, Angel was tricked just like the rest of you, only you didn't have to have Vietta's evil voice in your head for weeks before you threw Max under the bus. It's all of you're faults."
"I would like to know" Iggy began, "Who this evil voice named Vietta is." His tone was mild but he was twisting his fingers nervously, clearly just as unhappy as everyone else.
"Vietta, "Ella told him, "Is the Schools top life form, they send her on all kinds of missions and they're crazy about her. But Mom's pretty sure she has her own agenda. Anyways nothing, nothing she says can be trusted. Angel your a mind reader so you can put up blocks in your mind that will prevent her from talking to you or seeing what's in there." Angel nodded and sniffled.
"And now," Ella began imperiously, "I want you out of my damn house!"
