Chapter 12

Ughhh my head heart. And not just the temples, I felt like my brain was being squished in a vice. It reminded me of an experiment I had done to me a while ago.

There was pain, blood, tears, white walls, silver sharp instruments that clinked when moved. The white coats had a blank yet harsh expression on their faces. It made me angry when they thought they could control me, use me. As if!! They made me so mad I wanted to destroy…..something. Anything and everything. I would kill them all. For making this weak helpless creature that I once swore I would never again be.

I had to get out, I had to run. I had to stop them. I started thrashing around and crying out in desperation. I wouldn't be their test subject anymore. I felt hands trying to restrain me. Holding me down.

"Calm down. Max!"

I would win this time. Inside my head I built a storm and focused my energy on the room around me. I heard snaps and chinks as cracks formed on surfaces. I would blow this place sky high, whether I lived or died be damned.

"Shit! Max wake up."

Shaking and a warm hand on my shoulders brought to my senses. I was in a bed. Stone was trying to wake me up. I wasn't in a lab. I was safe. My eyes sprang open and I connected gazes with Stone. A sharp pain shot through my head as I tried to reign in the energy I had let loose. I managed to drag back most of my energy, except a rogue spark I missed shot through the air and hit a vase on the window sill. The quiet room was suddenly filled with a shattering noise.

I looked around me to take in my surroundings. The flock stood in the doorway with Dr. Martinez and Brigid. I could hear more people downstairs. Stone was sitting on the end of the bed I was in. I pushed myself up and climbed to my feet. I wobbled slightly as my head swam. I waved Stone off as he went to grab me and rested a hand on the bed post for balance.I looked at my family and realised that they looked like they wanted to run to me and yet unsure to as well. I smiled slightly at them and turned to face the shattered pieces of the glass vase. "I'll fix that."

I raised my hand to the shattered piece to help me focus more easily. I ignored the crunching feeling on my brain and reversed the energy pattern that I had used to shatter the vase. Like pieces of a puzzle the vase knitted it self back together, all of the cracked pieces held together till I smoothed out the jagged lines and made it look as smooth as fresh spun glass.

I smiled to myself when I had repaired the damage I had done. "There's one thing I can do right." I murmured. I turned back to my flock about to hug hem whilst I rubbed my forehead.

"How you guys doing?" I plastered a carefree smile on my face.

"Angel pushed forward and ran into my arms. She was soon followed by Gazzy and Nudge I wrapped them all in a hug. How long had I been gone for? They looked all grown up. Had it really been three years. I wrapped an arm around Iggy and Fang and hugged them both. It was nice to be hugged back.

Dr. Martinez walked up to me smiling. "It's good to have you back." She kissed me on the cheek and squeezed me lightly.

Total came running into the room and started to jump up on me along with Akila. I was still weak so when the malamute landed squarely on my stomach I fell backwards onto the bed.

I started panting for breath as black dots edged my vision and my mind gave a sudden squeeze. I gasped and wrapped my arm around my head.

"Max are you all right?" Angel asked.

"OMG!! Whats going on? Why she holding her head? Did she hit something…." Nudge rambling.

"Somebody tell the blind guy whats going on please?" Iggy demanded irritated.

"It's wasn't Akila's fault?" Total defended.

"Did you see what she did to that vase?!" Gazzy hooted.

"What have you done to her?" Fang growled.

Shut up! All of you just shut up!! There were so many voices talking at once, I had enough pressure trying to hold my mind together, I didn't need all the noise. I seriously overdid it when I attacked those Butchers.

Hey at least my arm was better. Just a few scratches left now. But ughh my head!"SHUT THE HELL UP!! ALL OF YOU!"

Owww Stone that hurt. But it worked. The room was suddenly silent.

I felt Stone pull me up into a sitting position. HE peeled back my eyelids and looked at my eyes for a bit. He shook his head.

"I told you not to overdo. You nearly made your mind fry again. You cant do too much. Not after the last experiment. Now are you gonna start listening to me?" He stood up and started tamping his feet at me. Waiting for an answer.

I glared at him as the pain receded to a crevice in my mind. "Listen Stone don't get pissy with me, cause your missing your lover. Go phone your boyfriend and cut me some slack."

"Hmm be like that then. And I already phoned him and he says your being stubborn and him and the others are coming down here."

With that Stone spun on his heel and stalked out of the room. I laughed and he just flipped me the bird. Damn I love that guy. And the others were coming. Perhaps we could manage to sort everything out.

I forgot that the flock were there so when I turned to look at them they all had surprise on their face.

"What?" I ask oh so sweetly.

"He's gay?!" Nudge practically yelled.

Honestly, did she think all guys who wore designer clothing and had a haircut practically every week was straight?

Well she must've lived a very sheltered life. Good, that was what I had wanted. Yet I felt separated from the flock. Had I put too much distance between us in three years? Or would they take me back? Because I had changed so much, and not many people could accept those changes in me.

"I'm going back to sleep. Tell Stone to get me when the team gets here." And just like that I roll ove and pretend to fall straight asleep. Good thing I had perfected my mind blocks otherwise Angel would've known that I was really just lying there, waiting.

A/N You know the drill!! Hitthe green button NOW!! XD
