Chapter 10
IGGY POV
I woke up on the familiar cold, hard ground of my cage, instantly smelling the horrid scent of none other than the School. I focussed on my hearing. WE were in a medium-sized holding room I suspect. I heard a few whimpers and cries, different from those of the flock, so I know that we're not the only mutants in here. I felt something move next to me. It was Max, judging by the sound of her breathing. She suddenly leaped over and hugged me, burying her face in my chest.
"Iggy... I don't know what to do. We're back at the one place I swore we would never go again. And just-" She trailed off, sniffling. Was Max... crying? Everyone else must have still been asleep because Max would never act like this around the kids. SHe doesn't want to scare them. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer to me. I kissed her forehead.
"Max, it'll be okay. We don't blame you. You tried to save us, and thats what you did. It was Fang and I that got us back here. We should have been stronger, smarter," I said, smoothing her hair. Max didn't say anything else. SHe just pulled herself together and snuggled in to me.
Fang woke up a few minutes after. He was alone in his cage, which was next to me. He growled and scooted as far away as he could from us. I turned my head and shot a look in his direction. Jealous much? About a half an hour later, Angel and Gazzy, both sharing a cage, woke up and hugged on to each other. Gazzy was trying to comfort his little sister as best he could. Next to Angel and Gazzy was my Nudge, blabbing on and on to ANgel about going shopping and what color was her favorite color this week, trying to get Angel's mind as well as her own off of where they were.
Max sat up, but grabbed my hand. She sat cross-legged and held onto my hand, placing it in her lap. "Guys," she began, looking at the flock I reckon. Hahaha reckon is such a funny word. RECKON RECKON RECKON. Okay I'm good. "I screwed up, 'kay? I know you know where we are. But, I promise you: we won't be here for long. We're breaking out. WHen is to be decided, but it is a definite," she said, holding onto my hand with both of hers. I'm guessing everyone was nodding with a determined look on their faces... right... about... now.
Yeah, we are. But mostly just wondering when the 'experiments' will start. Angel thought to me. Then she gave me another live video feed.
The place was just as I suspected. A medium white room, filled with numerous cages. Some empty, most filled with a variety of mutants. Only about half of them were alive. Blood was dripping and forming a big puddle from the cage next to Nudge's. I saw her look at it, scrunch up her nose and turn back to the camera in most cases, which was Angel.
"Thanks Angel," I muttered. Fang looked absolutely pissed at me. WOw. He needs to get a life. His cage was about a foot away and across from the door, so he had to look diagonally to look at the door.
"Remember guys: Nothing can break us. WE can survive this again. WE can survive anything," Max said, squeezing my hand.
"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that tehre's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em goin "Oh, oh, oh!"
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon"
Max finished. She was pretty damn amazing at singing. "WOW MAX THAT WAS AMAZING!" Nudge and Angel screamed in unison, the guys nodding, probably grinning widely like I was.
The door slammed open, and an Eraser- by the smell- walked in with two of his pals following, flanking him. They were holding a cat-dog hybrid that smelled as though it was just ripped to shreds.
"Aw, look at the lovey-birds!" Ari gushed with fake enthusiasm. "Looks like you got some competition, eh Fang?" Ari laughed, throwing the hybrid in a cage about three cages from Fang's. "Rest of, birdies. Tomorrow we start the torture- I mean 'experiments'" Ari shouted before slamming the door shut behind his friends.
Well. Here we go. Who knows how long we'll be here.
