Aryan POV
Complete chaos. That's what stood before me. Complete and udder chaos. Let's rewind some so you can get the understanding behind why this moment is chaos.
~~~~~;;~~~~~
Iggy was dragged into the room on some guy's shoulders, Gazzy on another person's shoulders. I was on my knees, duct tape over my mouth and my hands tied behind my back and someone hands pushing firmly on my shoulders farther and farther down, keeping me on the ground. I was in the center of the room, starring at eight isolation tank type things. Five out of the eight already held people in them. Fang being in the farthest to the left.
Iggy and the Gasman were being suited for their tanks, making the line go from Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Ella, Danny, Dr. M, and Gazzy. Leaving one remaining on the far right end. I was consumed by my thoughts of where the rest of the group was when the hands on my shoulders were removed. Turning my head slightly to look out the corner of my eye, I watched as Carmen walked into the room with a smug grin on her face.
She saw me and got a confused look on her face, walking over to one of the guys that had brought Iggy in earlier in the corner. "Why is she tied up?" she questioned. The burly looking guy crossed his arms and glared at me, I just grinned under the tape and turned back to face the tanks in front of me.
"She bit me. Drew blood even. I thought you said she was on our side? Why did she struggle if she knew what the plan was the entire time?" My victory from biting the guy lasted a short time, curiosity quickly taking its place. I cocked by head to the side a little, making it a little easier to hear, wanting to figure out what this "plan" was, and why he was talking to my sister about it.
Carmen huffed loudly and rubbed her hand across her forehead, something we both did when things got difficult or confusing. "I haven't filled her in yet, but since this is involves her because the bozo decided she'd be the one with the cure we can't exactly have her on the other side now can we? Once I fill her in on everything and he arrives I'm almost positive she'll be on our side."
"When he comes? Well shit if I had known there was going to be a party I would have worn something more decent." I watched Carmen and the big guy look at the door in shock, of course that sarcastic demeaning voice can only belong to Max, so I didn't even turn my gaze.
"How the hell did she get out!" Carmen whirled on the guy and glared at him, causing him to shrink back and stutter with each word. "S-s-she was a-asleep when we went in there! I th-thought you guys pulled the knock out gas already…." Good lord it was like the kid from Happy Gilmore who tried to read. You know when Adam Sandler replies with "T-t-t-today junior!" Ah I love Adam Sandler.
"If we had already done the knock out gas wouldn't you think that Iggy and Gazzy would have been knocked out as well? But didn't you have to use chloroform on them! God you are such a fucking idiot!"
"As entertaining as this lovers spat is, I'm going to have to stop you right there. Now Carmen, it isn't polite to mock your partner, no matter how idiotic and unmanly he is. And you, guys who has a name I don't know of. Don't just sit there and take her bitching at you! You're a man! At least I hope you are… Anyways, stand up for yourself! Don't just shrink back and stutter, give her a hug and if she still growls at you, back up to a safe distance and throw chocolate at her. Now that that's over with, I think I'll just take my flock and leave." She started walking towards Gazzy's tank. Putting all her weight on one foot she brought her hand up to her face and looked at it as if it were the largest rubix cube ever.
"You're never going to figure that out Maximum, and if you somehow manage to, you won't be here long enough to save them."
"As much as I honestly don't care, because I truly don't. I feel obligated to allow the bad guy to get their momentary speech in before the good guy gets away. So please, pretend I'm Batman and you're the Joker about to kill me, but you hesitate and think of the long ass speech you want to give before missing your window of opportunity to kill me. Why won't I be here long enough to save them?" Carmen was fuming and I could almost make out steam coming from her ears, she was about to speak when someone cut her off. Someone who was directly behind me and out of my line of sight.
"Max… you're finally here." I could hear the lust dripping from the guy's voice, making me want to hurl.
Max looked a mix of confused and shocked at the same time, she stood there starring at the guy behind me for a minute before snapping out of it and glaring. "Dylan…" Oh soo that's who was behind me, okay got it now! I have no fucking idea who Dylan is.
He walked towards her and I could see the startling ocean blue eyes and sandy blonde hair. If his voice didn't make me want to hurt, his appearance sure as hell did. He was just too perfect, like a walking-talking Ken doll. Much like the one I used to throw out of windows, set on fire, and flush down the toilet. I never did understand the point of playing Barbie…
He walked closer towards Max, arms out stretched as if expecting a hug. From the look on her face, the only thing she planned to do was make it difficult for him to have children. This should be interesting.

I watched as Dylan stepped closer and closer towards me, arms out stretched as if I would run into his arms any second. I glared at him and crossed my arms, shirting my weight from my right to left foot and raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to explain. When he saw that there wasn't going to be an affectionate reunion he sighed and dropped his arms to his side. He looked at me sadly before starting to explain everything that's happened.
"Max… I didn't mean for all this stuff to happen. I truly didn't. After you and Fang got back together and kicked me out I went searching for Dr. Gunther-Hagen again, hoping to have someone to take me in and care about me. But as soon as he saw me, he turned me away. Saying he didn't want a failure in his house." He walked towards a desk that I hadn't noticed before and sat down, signaling to Carmen to remove the tape on Aryan's mouth before continuing. "I had nowhere to go, I camped out in trees and caves for months. One day I was at the store trying to get some supplies when a man came up to me and offered to buy me lunch. I had been starving for days so I took him up on his offer."
He looked down at his hands before picking his head up slightly, looking at me through some hair that had fallen in his face. "He told me that he could help me. Help me get you to be mine once and for all, all I had to do was help him execute his plan. It was supposed to be an anti-virus but the formula went wrong somewhere and it turned everyone into savages who could only eat living flesh. It was sick and twisted and I tried to get out of it, but it was too late. The virus had spread so fast it looked like there was no solution. That's when he told me he had made a cure, several years back. In case something like this had happened. He'd left it with his daughter." He glanced at Carmen who was staring at him, obviously not realizing how much he was planning on saying.
"What a minute!" Everyone shoot a look at Aryan who was still kneeling on the floor, looking at Dylan in question. "Are you saying that my father caused the zombie apocalypse?" Dylan nodded his head in confirmation. "Th-that's impossible. Our father died several years ago in a car crash, his vehicle blew up. There was no chance of survival!"
Carmen stepped forward and looked at Aryan sadly. "Ar… Dad never died. He faked his death so that we wouldn't be in danger. He was protecting us from the people he worked with. They wanted to experiment on us, so without Dad alive, they couldn't find us. He's still alive." Aryan looked like she was about to start hyperventilating, but instead she turned to me and said blankly, "I swear I had absolutely nothing to do with any of this." At first I was shocked, not even considering the possibility of her being in on this whole thing, but at the sight of hearing the news of her father still alive, I could tell she had no idea and just nodded.
"Actually… that isn't entirely true Ar, you see you may not have realized that you were a part in this, but you were. Before Dad left he made sure the cure was safe, the only person he trusted enough with it was you. So you play a huge part in this whole thing." Carmen walked closer and got level with Aryan.
"I don't have anything though! He never gave me anything!" Aryan shouted, looking at her sister in return. Carmen shook her head and stood, walking towards the door and sticking her head out in the hallway before coming back in, a man following close behind. By the widening of Aryan's eyes I could tell it was her father.
R&R please!
