Iggy POV
You know, I never knew I'd have to walk down a hallway in handcuffs before. I mean, I expected it, considering all the bombs me and Gasman blow up in public places, but still I didn't see myself giving up without a fight. That bit of information may surprise you, or it might not. Either way I'm surprised. Max taught us not to give up without a fight and here I am giving up everything not even going down in a blaze of gunfire!
Well, then again, I was doing this for Jade. This was part of are five, err, some number part plan, I don't remember how may numbers just what we have to do. First, I have to get into the School, or Krona or whatever this place is, and find Jade. Then I have to put this little micro chip on something so Emmett can track the place. Then, it was out of my hands and I had to hope that Max and everyone can get us out of her.
I let my mind wonder back a few hours, to when we arrived at the Cullens house. After we finally found a way back to their house, Max hotwired a car, Carlisle immediately examined Trenton. His left arm was broken and his left ankle was sprained. Jade had been right about the broken rib, he had two. Carlisle said that Trenton should be able to heal though, he'd just have to rest at least a week, even with our quick healing.
"Keep moving!" The eraser behind me sneered. We came to a metal door and pressed some numbers on the keypad. 041795. Remember that number Iggy, I told my brain. That's going to be important. 041795. Why did that number sound so familiar? The eraser pushed against my back, hard, causing me to fall forward on my hand and knees. "Look what we got!"
Black shoes appeared in front of me. "This is the one that was blind correct?" the man asked.
"Yes sir!"
Black shoes sighed. "Throw him in a cage. I'm focusing on the girl right now," he ordered.
The eraser picked me up by my shirt and walked down the lab, to the cages. He walked over to one with a keypad and typed in a number. 092795. Remember! I yelled at my brain. The door opened and throw me in, closing the door behind me.
"You'll have a friend in a little while," he sneered before walking away.
I sighed and leaned against the back of the cage. This will be a little while. I decided.
I fell asleep at some point and a few hours later I heard a cage door slam. My eyes snapped open to see a black lump in the cage next to me. I looked up and saw the eraser walking away. A minute later the metal door slammed and I knew he was gone. I turned back to lump and leaned over. The cage was close enough to where I could slip my hand through the bars.
"Are you okay?" I asked, touching the blackness. I quickly realized what I was touching was hair. This thing was covered in black hair. The lump flinched and jumped away from my touch. "Calm down!" I said pulling my hand back. "I'm not going to hurt you!" The hair lifted revealing a face. A face with blue eyes. "Jade!" I jumped at her, reaching, trying to help her. "What happened!"
Jade's eyes widened. "Iggy!" She hissed. "Why are you here! You need to get out of here!" She yelled.
I looked closer and gasped at what I saw. Her skin, usually a nice tan color, now liked deathly white. All the color she once had once gone. There were purple circles under her eyes and her hair looked limp. The spark her eyes once held was no long existing. now they were just a hollow, hopeless landmine. This scared me. We had only been gone four days tops and she was already deteriorating like this, she wouldn't last much longer.
"I have a plan," I muttered, just loud enough for Jade to hear. "We're here to help."
Jade bite her lower lip. "Then I'll get all of you out." she turned and looked me in the eyes, "I stayed here because I had to save all of you." She paused, looking away from me. "I can't let you stay here, Iggy. You can't go through this again, you just got your eyes back, you won't lose them over me."
"Jade," I whispered. I reached forward through the bars and grabbed her hand. "I don't care if I have to lose my sight a hundred times, you don't need to be here. So I'm going to get you out."
Jade offered me a smile. "I appreciate it Ig," she said. "But I can't let that happen to you."
Before I could speak a whitecoat came in and stopped in front of my cage. "Mhm, so you are the one who lost his eyesight to the night vision experiment," he muttered. "Seems as if they were able to reverse it. Perhaps we could test the newly developed procedure on you before we use it on experiment 001."
I was tempted to spit at him but Jade did something more drastic. She jumped from her position and lunched herself at the cage door. She got hold of the whitecoat's shirt and pulled him to her, slamming him against the cage.
"Help!" The man yelled.
Jade let out an ear piercing scream, releasing the shirt before falling to the cages bottom curling up into a fetal position. I instantly jumped up to help her. Before I reached for her I had a second thought and placed my hands on the bars of my cage. Once the screaming stopped, she started gasping for air. When her breathing settled to a soft intake the whitecoat smiled.
"Now, you will learn to behave if you wish your friend not to be hurt also," he sneered. He glared at me once than walked away.
"Jade," I whispered, afraid of who would hear, "what was that?"
"A new technology we have invested in," a nasal voice said. I looked up and saw a short girl with shoulder length chopped dark hair. She had brown almond eyes and small features. "I was the one who told them Jade should have it. It's called a shock collar." She gave a bitter smile.
I growled when I realized this was the Kim from New York. She looked so different! In New York Kim had had long, hip-length black hair and sun-kissed skin. Now, her skin was paled and hair gone. She looked so different, she looked almost evil. "How could you?" I asked. "Jade, she helped you, you and your brother. How could you just turn your back on her and hurt her like this!"
Kim rolled her small tired eyes. "She never helped me! She just took all the attention! She stole my own brother's love from me!" She yelled. "My brother and I," she gave a bitter-sweet smile, "we could have ruled the world together! Jade could have helped us!"
I glared at her. "You could have been an asset Kim," I said. "You were a good fighter, you could have helped us! But instead you chose the wrong side, now you lose all you have for it!"
Kim laughed. "You're wrong Iggy!" She said. "I am on the winning side, you. Well let's just say I hoped you enjoyed seeing while you could!" She laughed again before stomping away.
I shook my head. "No, Kim, I'm the winner. Even if I'm stuck here and could lose my sight again, at least I have a family who's safe and who cares. Even if I don't get out of here Jade will, and she'll make sure everyone is safe for me."
Jade's POV
When I woke up I wasn't in a cage anymore, I was laying in an all white room. There was no furniture, or people, or instruments for pain, just myself in my blood stained close. I reached up and touched my neck. I flinched in pain but kept my and there. Gently, I moved fingers around the collar they had put on me. In the back, I discovered a small box, that was what I would have to disable to get this thing off. If, and when, I got out of here, I'd have to tell Iggy so he could disable it.
A rectangle of white opened from the wall. I laughed when I saw who walked in. "Shoulda known it be you who would torture me next!" I said to Kim. "You know, I never understood why you went evil."
Kim sneered at me. I noted her short, chopped hair, the weakness of her skin, and the tiredness in her eyes. If I did have to fight her then I'd need to know her weaknesses, the fact that she was worn would be my advantage, her lose. "At least I'm not the one with a shock collar," she laughed.
I shrugged, I can't show my weakness. "Yeah, but if you use it then that just shows how weak," I teased. Just mess with her head, I thought, If you do it long enough and good enough then you'll have the advantage! I got to my feet and leaned against the closest white wall. "You know, it will just show how you can't fight and how you relay on others to do things for you."
Kim's face turned red. "You think I can't take you!" She snarled. "Of course I can! I'm better than you after all!"
I shook my head, letting a small pity filled smile show on my face. "No, I don't think you can," I muttered. "You never were a good fighter, always relaying on Brandon's bombs to save your ass!"
Now, Kim was furious. She pulled a little black remote that control my collar out of her pocket and tossed it to the other side of the long room. "I can take you!" She yelled. "Unless you're chicken!"
I rolled my eyes. "Kim, you won't be able to take me. No, you're just not good enough," I laughed.
That was all she need. Kim lunged forward, aiming for me. I smirked at the fact that her anger would increase her predictability. Always examine the obstacle before hand to learn their moves. If you can't, anger them, they will slip and go for the easy kill. Jasper's words rang in my head. He and Emmett had taught me a few moves incase I ever came across a newborn. Thankfully, I translated them to fighting any enemy.
Kim went for the obvious hit, my midsection. I sidestepped, then spun around quickly, grabbing her waist and slamming her into a wall. She flinched but otherwise didn't react to the head blow. Kim charged again, I sidestepped, only this time she knew it would happen and went for my waist this time. Never let your enemy get a hold of you. I snarled at the fact I let her get the upper hand.
Kneeing always works, for guys and girls, Emmett's laughing voice flashed through my brain. I nodded at the advice. I pulled my knee up with as much force as I could into her stomach. I heard the breath leave Kim's body and her grip loosen. Taking advantage, I of her weakness I pulled her arms off me and pinned her to the floor. I punched her in the face, hearing a loud crack.
Kim spit blood from her mouth. "Do it!" She yelled. "Kill me! I know you want to do it! You want me dead so you can be victorious!"
"Now why would I kill you Kim?" I asked. "You know I'm not a murderer. You know I wouldn't wish anyone dead! Why?"
"You are weak! If you can't get rid of your traitor then you could never save anyone! Iggy is going to die because of you! You know what, that weakling deserves it!"
I felt my vision go red. Iggy never deserved to die! How could she even say that? Why would she want Iggy dead. I grabbed her neck. "Maybe you do deserve to die," I said.
Kim smiled. "You're just a cold blooded killer, I'm so proud," she gasped as my hands tightened around her throat.
I chuckled. Iggy and me were sitting in a tree outside D.C. It had only been a few weeks since we left New York and I was still a little shaken from losing my best friend. It was late at night and everyone else was asleep.
I set my head on Iggy's shoulder. "Why did it have to be Kim," I muttered. "She was so good. We were like sisters, exactly the same."
Iggy shook his head. "No, you two are complete opposites," he said, wrapping his arms around my waist.
I cocked my head to the side. "What makes you say that?" I asked. "You saw how similar we were, or noticed it."
"The difference is that you would protect anyone, no matter if they were an innocent child or a cold blood killer, if they were in trouble, you'd defend them. Kim, she'd kill to stay ahead. You care, she doesn't," he kissed my head. "Jade, you have a heart."
That moment flashed through my head in a matter of seconds. Iggy was right, it didn't matter that Kim had betrayed us, she was still a person. I couldn't take a life, that wasn't right, every life was important.
I quickly released my hands from Kim's neck and jumped up from her. No, I will not hurt Kim, no matter how angry she makes me.
Once Kim caught her breath again she stood up to face me. "I knew it Jade, you're just weak!" She yelled. "You don't deserve everything everyone is giving you!" He hand was at her throat, trying to make it stop hurting.
"Maybe I am weak," I mused. "Maybe I can't kill you. But the difference between you and me is that I have a heart, and I will not take a life."
Kim's face feel for a moment. She recovered quickly and made her face blank. "Well, that's your problem," she said. Kim picked up the remote and looked up at me. "Now, it's time to go."
"I don't care anymore Kim," I said. "You mean nothing to me, or anyone as a matter of fact. You betrayed me and more importantly Brandon. I'm not going to save your ass anymore."
Kim's face reddened with anger. She turned a knob type thing on the remote then pushed the button down.
I felt a massive amount of pain. Instantly my knees gave out as a strong electric shock went through my body. I felt like someone was setting me on fire than stomping all over my body. Now multiple that by a thousand and you still don't have enough pain. I bite down on my lip so I wouldn't scream, I couldn't scream. If I showed Kim I was hurting than she'd think I was fallen and that couldn't happen. I tasted blood but ignored it and continued to bite down on my lip. The only think I could think that that second was I couldn't let Iggy feel this pain. He didn't deserve it.
Kim's POV
I didn't release the shock button as I watched Jade crumble to the ground. She deserved this. She deserved this pain after everything that has happened. I mean, if I hadn't have helped the School when I did then there would have been a much worse fate. Jade would have hurt Brandon and I. I couldn't let my brother get hurt, that was what I knew. At least with him here, I knew that he would be safe. All I had to do was take Jade down and me brother and I could go free and be safe, that's all I ever wanted.
I left the room before someone came in to get Jade's crumpled body, dropping the remote on the way. I walked down the hall to the room where Brandon and the others were. I typed in the number on the keypad and walked in. I walked right up to Brandon's cage and smiled.
"Hey little brother," I said. I pulled a Hershey bar out of my jean pocket and set it in his cage. "Brought you some chocolate."
Brandon just looked at it. "Tell me something," he whispered.
"Anything," I smiled. So my brother was talking to me again, that was good.
"Is Jade here?"
I instantly became furious. Why would he care more for that useless piece of garbage than his own sister. I nodded. "Don't worry though, Brandon. I took care of her so she can never get to you again," I told him proudly.
His eyes widened. "You hurt her!" He yelled. I nodded questionable now. "How could you! She was going to save us and now you ruined it! Jade saved us! She gave us a place to stay when we were lost! How could you betray you're best friend!"
I sighed. "Brandon, she was going to hurt us. Everything she said was a lie, she didn't really care," I said.
"Go away," he said.
"What?"
"I never want to see you again!" He yelled. "You know, I was hoping that it was all a joke, and you were really going to help us in the end! But now I know for sure, you're just a traitor!"
I was taken back by my brother's rants. "Brandon," I tired. He turned around and put his back to me. I felt tears started to build up in my eyes and ran out of there as fast as I could. Brandon hated me, my own brother hated me! I couldn't take this anymore, I had to do something, anything, to get my brother back.
