Two Worlds
Chapter 10
Max walked slowly into the hotel. Something was wrong and she could feel it in her bones. Dally was on her left and Fang on her right. The rest had stayed behind because any info that was beaten out of Cinna could be faulty. Also, they needed to talk to the Motorcycle boy and see if he knew anything.
"Do you feel that?" Fang said softly in Max's ear. She flinched away, memories surfacing she didn't like, but nodded. Dally threw a glance at her, his brown eyes filled with suspicion for Fang and worry for her and Ponyboy.
They walked deeper into the hotel, but the sense of dread only grew. There was no one in sight, and a thick layer of dust that coated the gold furniture and red carpeting.
Then, the trio heard it. A sharp, familiar swearing.
"Pony?" Max whispered, her eyes filing with tears
"Sounds like him." Dally growled, moving towards the ballroom doors.
Fang followed, unsure of what to expect. If Gazzy had been kidnapped by the same people, then he might or might not be with Max's 'brother.' He stopped, and looked at Max and her boyfriend as they ran silently towards the doors. They wouldn't notice he was gone. Fang turned and moved swiftly down another hallway in search of his brother, not once looking back at the girl he loved who didn't love him.

Max and Dally closed in on the door; they each planted a foot next to the iron handles and prepared to kick. Shifting their weight, the looked at each other.
"One" Max whispered
"Two" Dally responded, his eyes flickering from the door to his brown-eyed girlfriend.
"Three!" Max hissed. The two greasers swung their feet up and kicked at the door hard. It crumpled beneath their feet, splintering and crashing to the foot. They moved into the room, blades drawn. The swearing continued from further inside.
Then it changed.
"Dallas?" Pony's voice called "Max? Please help me!"
Max's eyes were now ice-cold orbs that could freeze the sun. She moved further into the dance hall, Dally following.
"Max," the former New Yorker began, but never finished.
A black-gloved hand clamped firmly over his mouth.
"Dall!" Max screamed, starting towards his assailant, but two attackers grabbed her firmly. Dally was fighting hard, but something behind Max made his eyes bug out and his to fight ten times harder if possible. When Max turned to look, she saw Ari, Bob Sheldon of the Socs, and a pretty girl in a nurses lab coat.
She had a needle in her hand.
As she approached Max with it, the bird-girl-turned-greaser let out a final scream before it penetrated her skin.
"Fang!"

Fang was in the kitchen, making his way towards the dining hall when he heard Max's scream. It was clear, desperate, and screaming his name. Ignoring the surge of pride that she wasn't screaming Dallas Winston's name, he turned and ran to where he had abandoned his friend and his enemy. (AN- incase you didn't catch that, Dally is the enemy. It's sorta like coded Fax. He hates Fang cuz he's Max's boyfriend!) He turned the corner that ran to the ballroom, but was too late. A group of Erasers walked past, dragging two bodies. Both were limp and unmoving.
"Well you know Fang." Ari's voice said from behind him. "If you wanted to win back dear Maxie's heart, you should have been there to save the damsel in distress. Most princes don't let their future brides get injected with unknown chemicals."
"What did you do to her?" Fang growled, taking a threatening step towards the Eraser.
"Oh just a little drug that will make her either hallucinate or be lost in her memories." He said with a smug smile "We aren't really sure which one. Maybe even both!"
"Why are you telling me this?" Fang said, realization dawning and turning to run. "What are you going to do to me?"
"Oh you'll be joining her in the cell. I'm just telling you so you know why she will be screaming for the next day or so."

Gazzy felt like crying. He'd seen Max, but she wasn't with Fang. She was with some other guy who she had cried for. She only called for Fang at the last second when the red haired nurse stuck the needle in her arms. It was the same girl who had told him and Pony about what was going to happen to them, but she hadn't been helping them then. She first injected Max, causing her to scream in pain. Then, she motion for the guards to make the other guy to be quiet. He was swearing and shouting up a storm. Some of the swears were incredibly unique that the mutant boy filed away for future use. They hit him with the butt end of their gun.
Max was crying now. Gaz had only seen her cry one time, and that was enough.
Now, she was crying for the guy, Fang, and herself. The red haired girl nodded once to Ari, and walked out. Never once glancing up at the bound, gagged, and hanging boys. The whole time this was going on, Pony was screaming and shouting through his bindings. When Ari walked out, there was a short, cut off shout. Then, the eraser walked back in, followed by Ponyboy's torturer who was dragging Fang. He dropped Fang's limp body on the ground and went over to the chandelier controls with Ari. The two of them slowly lowered the light fixture and untied the boys. They gave sick grins at Pony and Gazzy.
"Oh dear." Ari said "You are gonna love the sounds that darling Max is going to be making."

I think the only part of this chapter that I didn't like was the ending bit. I must say that I totally like the rest of it(:
