Chapter 14 Faith POV
"Oww" The white coat shrieked. His hand came back and pushed me hard in the stomach so I landed on my wings in the cage and it was quickly locked.
"Careful with her!" demanded a female white coat. She walked closer to my cage. Jess.
"This a miracle of reproduction among the hybrids. If you cause a miscarriage, we don't know if we will be able to successfully get them to make another." Jess said.
If they wanted this baby they couldn't hurt me. They want this baby healthy and to do that they'd have to take good care of me. I smirked on the inside.
"But she bite me." said the man who I bite. I turn my head and spit out some of his blood.
"All of you out. I need to prepare the subject for an ultrasound." The other white coats cleared out of the room. So only Jess was left. She turned to me smiling. She picked up a tray of a bunch of mashed up food. Or maybe it was just slope. Who could tell?
She pushed it through the cage in front of me. I kept my face hard and emotionless. I could feel my stomach growl. But this was part of my plan and I need to do it. I moved my foot out. I was sitting cross legged.
I violently kicked the tray of food away. It hit against the cage and food splattered in front of Jess. She sighed. Two Erasers walked in. Jess unlocked my cage and they grabbed me by both arms.
"Careful with her." Jess said calmly. Then she spun on her heels and headed towards the doors.
As we started walking through the white hallway one of the Erasers spoke to me.
"Well look who got busy, didn't know Max had it in him." She said.
My eyes narrowed in front of me but, I refused to look at her. Arianna or Aria as her mom calls her for short.
They shoved me into a new room. All the examining rooms looked the same but, something was different in this one. Instead of a metal sheet for me to lay on there was a normal hospital bed. However they still had straps to lock my feet and hands into place.
Then Jess brought over a machine. Like the one had but, more high tech.
Again my shirt was lifted up and they spread some blue gel on my stomach.
They rubbed the small wand on my stomach until an image showed up on the monitor. And then I saw my baby for the second time.
Only this time the baby wasn't just a dot on a screen. I could actually make out its head.
"Gender?" one white coat asked.
"Unknown" Jess answered. They all scribbled on clip boards
"Health?" another asked
"Stable" Jess answered. They wrote that.
"Wings? Percent of bird DNA?" one asked.
"Strong stable wings, 2 percent bird DNA just like it's parents" Jess answered. They wrote that down.
"How far along is she?" another white coat asked.
"The machine is saying 4 months but, she barely looks 2 months." Jess answered.
What how could I be 4 months pregnant. I was only 1 and a half as far as I've counted.
"I think the baby is developing fast. At this rate she should have the baby in about 3 more months." Jess said.
What! I can't have this baby in 3 months! I thought I'd have like 8 more months to figure this out! Let me out of this place! I need to get to Max!
I struggle against the binds and desperately tried to free myself.
"Give her a seductive." Jess said urgently.
Let me out! I screamed in my head. I felt a prick in my arm and slowly started to lose conscious.
Awhile later I woke up back in the cage. I wasn't sure how much time had past.
I felt a wave of nausea. I leaned over and puked in the corner of the cage.
Ok it's morning. It's been a whole day and I was still stuck here.
Wheres Max? Why didn't he come get me? Does he even love and care that me and his unborn child are stuck in a cage being test in the school?
No, don't think like that. Max loves me and he wants the baby. He'll come I just have to be patient.
The door opened and Jess walked in with a tray of eggs. I curled up in the corner of the cage. She placed the eggs in front of me. "Please Faith, eat. Aren't you hungry?" she said softly. Of course I was starving but, was I going to tell her that? Nope.
I scouted forward and put a spoon full of eggs in my mouth. She smiled at me. I chewed on them. My body begged me to swallow, but my brain had control here.
I spit the eggs out right in her face.
She cussed under her breath. I smirked quickly. She wiped the food off her face. Then gave me a hard look. "Faith, what would Max say if he knew you weren't eating?" She said.
I knew the answer. He'd tell me to eat. To think of the baby. She was trying to use him against me. But the thing is, I was thinking of the baby. I would rather die and kill this baby along with me then let them take it away. Like I said before death is a joy in the school. If I ate and kept this baby alive I'd be doing exactly what they want. I was not going to play their little game.
I kept quiet. I didn't need to answer to her.
She let a frustrated ugh. "I didn't want to do this but, you've left us no choice." She said. Four Erasers walked in forcing me out of my cage. Two dragged me to a new room. They laid me on the metal table. I struggled against their grips.
They strapped down my hands and feet. Then one around my waist. Jess pushed a button and the tabled lean up so I was almost at a 90 degree angle but slightly tilted. She looked angrily at me.
"Your little hunger strike is over." She said. She picked up a skinny tube, that was very long. She shoved it near my mouth. I closed it and resisted as much as I could. Turning my head when it would come near my mouth.
She grabbed a metal tool on a metal table. She held my face in one hand and used the other to shove the tool in my mouth. I tried to spit it out but before I could she moved the handle on the tool and it pride open my mouth.
I shook my head and tried to get it out but it wouldn't budge. Jess then took the tube and snaked it down my throat. I choked and I think I might have puked a bit. It made my throat burn.
She pushed a button on a machine and some kind of light brown liquidated food ran through the tube and down to my stomach.
Probably an hour passed until she removed the tube and the tool. And when she did I threw up all over my self.
Ignoring the throw up, the Erasers unlocked me and dragged me back to my cage. I was too worn out to fight back.
They locked the cage door and as soon as I heard their footsteps walk down the hall, I curled into a ball and cried in the dark.
