Expectations
Chapter 14
Guess what? I got over 104 reviews! You all are so awesome! It's my personal goal to get to 100 reviews for each fanfic that isn't a one-shot. So thanks you just made my day!
Yes this is short… but also very "OMG" at the end. Or at least I like to think so.
Fang POV:
"I will contact you all again as soon as everything is ready." Marian Janssen reached over pushed a button on her computer and all the screens shut off. She turned towards the Sharkies and ordered them to leave the room and not come back until she called for them.
Is she stupid? Why would she send all her protection out of the room? Maybe she really did believe Max when Max admitted defeat. How dense is this lady? It's kind of sad; she could have done a lot of good.
"So Maximum, what do you think of my little plan?" The Director asked as she turned to max.
"I think that you're crazy and have lost every single bit of morality that you might have possessed. I don't think that you have a heart at all. Don't you realize how many innocent people are going to die?"
"They are unworthy of life. They are already destroying this planet; I am just speeding up the process."
"You have got to be kidding me! There are children, and babies out there. They aren't polluting the planet. There are people out there that are trying to help. Some recycle, and do everything that they can. You'll be killing those people too.
"Everyone must make sacrifices!"
"I don't see you making sacrifices!" Max was getting angry now.
"Don't you dare act like you know me and all that I have sacrificed! You think you know what this life is like? I've been around longer than the average person and let me tell you, this world is a horrible place. People don't appreciate what they have, they are cruel and there is such injustice in the world."
"Injustice! Injustice! So you think that you are just! Let me tell you something lady. Do you think that it's fair that I haven't had, and never will have a normal childhood? Is it fair that I have to fight for my life everyday?" I knew that Max was getting angry.
"Is it fair that I have to be a mother to these kids when I'm just a kid myself? Is it fair that I will never know what it's like to live a normal life? Is it fair that Iggy got his sight stolen from him? Is it fair that they will never know who their parents are? Is it fair that we grew up in dog crates? Is it fair that we get experiments performed on us like we are lab rats? We are human beings, we feel pain, and we have thoughts! Is it fair?" Max was really wound up now.
"No it's not. You are actually the cause of what we've been through. Not all the blame falls on you. There are others, but you are the ringleader and you are to blame just as much as the people who actually did the experiments. You talk about knowing injustice, you don't know anything!" Max's voice got louder and louder with each word she said until she was practically screaming.
The Director snapped. She slapped Max. Max looked surprised but then she looked angry; she slapped the Director back. Of course Max was stronger so the Director's cheek turned dark red.
Max POV:
Now when I think about what happened I can't really remember anything clearly. It's all blurry and clouded over. I just remember getting so angry and yelling at her. Then she slapped me and I slapped her. She tugged on my hair and scratched me with her long nails.
I remember punching her and I remember a knife coming out of nowhere. I remember being pushed out of the way and seeing the long knife go inside Fang. I remember seeing Fang fall over and clutch his stomach. I remember seeing Iggy grab Fang.
Then I saw red. I can't remember much after that. But Nudge quietly told me that I punched her so hard that she stumbled backwards and fell onto the table. On the table was that little Unicorn statue; when she fell backwards the horn went straight through her heart. Nudge reassures me that it was a freak accident and that I didn't do it on purpose. I just don't know…
So what do you think? Review and you'll see what happens next.
Disclaimer: I didn't come up with the idea of the Director falling backwards onto the table and a statue of a unicorn going through her heart. I got the idea from the TV series Bones and switched things around a little bit.
