The Forgotten Experiment's

Ch.9

Saphy pov:

Sometimes things have to be forgotten, sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself in order to protect those you love. I have to get on the inside of Itex, it's the only way to destroy it. I have my own seperate mission but Max needs help, she doesnt know about the Branch, how could she.

*Flashback*

"Hey."

"Why did you leave," I cried.

"You know why, this is the end of me, I cant take you with me."

"I can fight please dont leave me in the dark again," I held out my scarred arms, so small and delicate.

"Your only three baby, be strong."

I clutched at the only guy that loved me enough to say goodbye.

"Please," I screamed,"you cant go, they want me, not you! I dont want to be alone!"

He gave me a sad look. His eraserness was written all over him. He was my daddy, he promised mommy would come back. She didnt now he was going to break another promise. He swooped me up, wings and all, and kissed my forehead tenderly.

"I am so sorry Saphy baby. Be as cold as stone. You, I hate to say, will always be alone." He set me down and tried to smile.

"I'll be back someday baby."

It was a lie!

*End Flashback*

He never came back. He had tried to free me and my mom but he failed. I was never the same. When I shed two tears for Iggy and Talon, well I know it's the first and last time. I had never cried after dad left. Now I have to try to infiltrate the Branch. They are all assasins from birth. I was supposed to go there, I actually did until I met Talon and escaped. Now I had to join, kill, then destroy every thing ,even if I died too, that was part of the Branch. This was such a good plan. Note my sarcasm.

Max pov:

Dang that girl sure knows how to make an exit and entrance to our lives. Iggy is quiter and he avoids Talon, and only talks to Gazzy and maybe Fang once in a while.

"Hey Max, can we talk."

"Sure Ig, whats up?"

"I feel so alone. What did she mean by 'I am always alone'?"

"Well..... you know how you always had me or Fang to lead you guys and how you always have Gazzy to talk to."

"Yeah so......?"

"I have Fang and Talon had Saph. She wouldnt confide in a kid that is as young as Angel or put her problems to him. She couldnt lean on anyone."

"Ig, Max? Talon and I have or really Talon has something to tell you guys about Saph."

"Guys, you probably are wondering about Saphy. Well everywhere we went if she depended on someone besides herself, well things always went wrong. I mean her old boyfriend Dylan...... he kind of left and a week later we heard he died in a mysterious car accident. The old guy that took care of us..... well he disapeared and was 'killed' in a gang fight. There were remnants of a memory when I first saw her. Something about her father and leaving her. Well you all always had each other to lean on, even you Max you had Fang and Nudge. She had and has no one to depend on that will tell her its ok and that things will turn out fine. When she .... started to like Iggy she realised when Max talked to her that she was putting the flock and Iggy in danger she decided to leave. She knew I liked Angel and well decided I should stay too."

Wow that must be weird. Iggy looked so ticked off that he stormed off in Fang's direction. Talon came up to me and sighed.

"I tried, she wasn't called 'the forgotten' by some experiments for nothing."

"Forgotten how could anyone FORGET her!"

"Hey Iggy I didnt give it to her, they did."

Saphy pov:

"Such a nice welcome for your almost girlfriend Daemon. How nice of you."

"You should be thankfull the higher ups have plans for you Saph. So wheres the twerp?"

I spat,"Like he could keep up with me."

"Well here comes my boss, try to act nice."

"Daemon I think I have it from here. Hello Saphire what brings you here on this fine day?"

"I was wrong before. The only thing that matters is surviving this world and you seem to have given the best offer. So I decided to take a trip."

He sneered,"So like your mother, she was not as well cooperating as you are. She put up quite a fight until well..... she was put into lockdown."

"Hey shut up. I am glad my parents loved me. Look at you they sold you for barely a $100. Pathetic. Yet you were my best friend until...."

"Until you left me. You just ran off with some kid and abandoned your partner to be. We were made for each other." He slaped me. His black talons cutting my face open. He tenderly caressed it after that. I smiled and sank my fangs into his paw. He screeched.

"ENOUGH! Saphire you expect me to accept you after that? How dare you bite him!"

"Hey he started it and yes. You need me more than you know and you wont risk killing me. Terrible 'accidents' might happen at my death. You know you cant afford that. Dont you? We have a deal?"
