Chapter 12
Ashley POV
I slid back into my lab and sat down in my swivel chair, time to get back to work. Now where on earth is that test tube with the chemical that enhances the disease? I looked at all my test tubes. Where was the purple one?
Suddenly it dawned on me. Gazzy and Nudge were the only two that had been in my lab. They were gonna take it back to the flock and give it to Fang! I shot up out of my seat in furry of panic.
"Ark! Pack some bags! We need to get moving fast!" I hollered not caring who else in the building heard. He emerged into the room, but with no bags in his hands.
"Ark! Your moron! I said pack bags! We need to get going!" He shook his head stepping away from the door.
"Arkā¦.What are you-?" Next thing I knew I heard a gun shot and was on the ground, my stomach in a huge amount of pain. I looked up threw my hair trying to stand, only to have a boot pressed down into my back. Another boot slammed my head down and I was out cold.
I groggily opened my eyes finding myself in nothing more then a pure white room. There were chains around my wrists and ankles that kept me pinned to a wall. I couldn't remember what had happened. Last I remember was I was in my office yelling at Ark. Then nothing.
The door to the cell came flying open, and three people came in dark hoods over there heads. Two were tall about my height the other one a little shorter. The smallest one took off his hood, and I would have gasped it was throat wasn't so dry. It was Gazzy, but his face was incredibly burnt up and scarred. One of the other two removed there hood. It was Iggy his face the exact same way. Then the most shocking one of all. The third one was me.
"Who are you?" I demanded struggling to break free of the chains. She smiled a fake hurt smile.
"Oh it hurts that you don't remember me! Considering you threw me threw a window" Then it dawned on me. All those months ago when I had first met the flock they had been kidnapped. The School has made clones of the three of us and here they were.
"You, I thought I got rid of you!" I hissed the best I could, "What do you want?"
"To keep you from saving Fang, he's gonna die a slow a painful death and no one can help him. Those little friends of yours are taking him the chemical to multiply his disease. After he drinks it he'll die with in four days. There's nothing you can do you about it Clone"
"You're the clone here! You're a Clone of a Clone so ha!" Her arm launched out smacking me hard across the face. I winced my cheek stinging from the hit.
"You are worthless. I can't wait to see you get exterminated." I growled struggling against the chains as her arm came out hitting my again. Then she turned storming out of the room the others following her. I leaned my head against the cold wall and tried forcing myself off of it. The cuffs on my wrist and ankles shocked me making me wince. I let my head drop down eyes closed.
I opened them slowly still shaking from the shock. On the ground below me was a single black feather from my wings. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes imagining home. To be with Max and Iggy, to see Matt and Ruby again. I focused all my remaining energy making a strong wind current rip threw the air picking up the feather sending it threw the bar window that was at the corner of my cell.
"Go" I whispered, "Find the others" I let my head fall all my energy finally gone. My eyes fluttered open but shut once more as I passed out.
"Fang!" Max called as Fang collapsed to the ground in the yard his hand pressed to his throat. Max went running out the back door kneeling beside Fang rolling him to his back. Fang gasped and shook unable to take in air.
Suddenly I felt as thought I was right beside them but they couldn't see me. I knelt by him placing a hand over his mouth focusing this new found energy of mine. He stopped coughing breathing softly closing his eyes.
"Fang?" Max whispered brushing his hair from out of his eyes. They reopened and looked almost normal. His hand went to his neck and looked in my direction expecting to see something only to see nothing. I was gone.
