Chapter 13 Faith POV

At some point in the helicopter I must have passed out or more likely been knocked out, because when I woke up I was in a large dog crate. I could probably stand in it but there wouldn't be much room to spread my wings. I sat up in darkness.

I traced my hand across the bar feeling for the lock. If only Izzy was here. I thought. Wait were they here. As far as I can remember I was the only one they took and Angel had said they were only after one of us. But why me.

I knew the answer but I didn't want the thought to even pierce my mind.

They wanted the baby and to get to the baby they had to get to me.

My head throbbed. They would not touch my baby. I would rather die than have them prick my child with needles. You may think its extreme but trust me. If you're in the school and there is no way out, death is something you'd pray for.

A door swung open and someone flipped a switch. Light flooded into the room and I blinked to adjust my eyes.

"Ah Faith hello, its been awhile"

My eyes widen, but I kept my face hard, I knew this voice. The voice of the person I never trusted.

Max trusted her. Once.

He used to trust her with his life because she saved us, took care of us, she was the closest thing to a mother any of us had. I shivered at the thought that I could end up like her.

Having no care for your child and letting scientist turn it into a monster. Well how could I not have this thought I've never had any mother figure in my life besides her.

"What no hello, still a girl of few words I see" she said and chuckled a bit. I raised my gaze to look up at her.

"Jess" I growled.

She bent down so her face was in front of me. Her dark dirty blonde hair that could easily be mistaken for brown swung in front of her eyes.

"Don't growl at me Faith you're not a dog." she said. I raised an eyebrow. Then why am I in a cage?

She smiled, that fake smile she'd use to tell us everything will be alright, and I just about growled again.

"We just want to take a look at the baby Faith. I won't hurt it." She said softly. This coming from the women who turn her own daughter into an Eraser.

Did she even know who she was talking to. I am not one of the kids. She can't fool me. I never truly trusted her.

Then I realized she had called the baby it. Like it wasn't a person. Like it was some creature or monster that no one had ever heard of.

My baby was not a monster. No matter how much I hated being pregnant and no matter how much I wished we had used protection that night. I still couldn't help but care for this baby that was safely protected in my womb, for now.

Max wanted this baby. I could tell the day we got the ultrasound. He didn't plan it but he truly wanted this baby. And I would protect it. For him.

Jess reached a hand out to me. Or rather to my stomach. I glared up at her, warning her with my eyes. She retracted her hand back to her side. She sighed. Then left the room. Leaving me once again in darkness.


Max POV

"Are we there yet" Nash whined for the billionth time. I moved my hands to my temples and gently rubbed.

"We'll get there, when we get there!" I said annoyed.

"Max I'm hungry, can we stop and get food." He whined.

"What happened to the granola bars I packed you?" I asked/snapped.

"I finished them an hour ago" he said, then gasped. "Look down there, I see a gas station, I bet they have chips and cookies and candy and soda and-" I cut him off.

"Nash we need to keep moving" I said.

"It would only take a minute. Please?" he asked.

"No" I said straight out.

"Please"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"PLEASE" he shouted

"OKAY ALRIGHT LETS GO" I shouted, my headache not being able to take much more of his whining. Nash smiled triumphantly. I rolled my eyes as we landed by some trees behind the gas station. We walked inside.

"Don't get what you can't carry the whole way" I told him.

"I won't I just wanna get some chips, maybe some candy or orange soda because its my favorite. I don't get how your and Faith's favorite soda is root beer..." I walked away when his back was turn and headed towards healthy food where he would not dare venture.

I walked through the isle looking at random food finally I decided to grab some granola bars and some bottles of water.

I walked up to the counter where a women with a nose piercing stood. She smelled like smoke. Gross

I put my things on the counter and Nash put what he got on the counter. He got a couple bags of chips, some soda bottles, and lots of bags of cookies.

I wonder why I didn't think to grab those cookies and I silently thanked God Nash had grabbed them. I handed the women my Maximus credit card.

She swiped it then handed it back to me before she bagged all our stuff.

Once we were outside I split the food equally in each of our bags then we flew off. I'm coming to save you Faith. And Baby.
