So Jeb is dead, Isaac has disappeared, Max and the rest of the Flock are somewhere in the Academy, The Chairman is nowhere to be found, oh and Fang is locked in the White Room with Dylan who's now a Flyboy. Yeah, I'm a sick and twisted monster aren't I? Only a few chapters left, so just wait and see how everything unfolds. Please review.
I own nothing!
Chapter 25: Demon Fur is the Only Escape
Max's POV
"Gazzy, Iggy! Isn't there any way you guy could blow up the wall?" I was shifting my gaze between the two of them, my eyes begging them to give the answer that I wanted to hear.
"Not in this hallway Max, the blast would most likely implode the building, and besides." He pounded his fist on the wall. "The sucker's as solid as a rock." There had to be some other way, we had to regroup. Knowing Fang, he was thinking the same thing. The problem being that this place was a labyrinth, his only hope was Isaac and his memory. I had Victoria.
"Victoria, is there a way that we can back track, and regroup?"
"Yeah, but it's pretty long and to get back there we would have to go through..." She paused, she looked as if she didn't want to finish the sentence.
"What?"
"We'll have to go through the White Room." She looked terrified at the thought of even setting foot in there. "But if we're going to save Fang, we have no other option." She walked to the end of the hall and took a right. "Are you guys coming or what?"
Fang's POV
"What the hell happened to you?" I couldn't believe my eyes. Dylan was back and he had been turned into a Flyboy. Just when I thought that he was out of my way for good, he comes right back, only this time he's nastier.
"After our last little encounter, Jeb decided to give me an upgrade. Now look at me, you have no chance. It ends for you today Fang." He was a monster before on the inside, and now, he looked like one. His body was covered in shaggy brown fur, and his claws were dripping blood.
"You killed Jeb?" I found it a little hard to believe considering that they had been working together this whole time.
"He deserved what I did to him, he took away my perfection and created a monster. But then I discovered the strength of imperfection. I'm stronger then I have ever been, and now I'm going to kill you. You've ruined everything that we've been working for, all because you refuse to die! Why won't you die? I'm not the monster Fang, you are, and you keep coming back to haunt me!" He launched himself at me, bearing his teeth and claws. He was ready to rip me to shreds. I Jumped into the air, the White Room was huge, and I could fly easily. I forgot though, that I was fighting a Flyboy. Dylan followed suit and flew after me. He already knew what it was like to fly, but, he didn't know how his new body would react.
He seemed a little awkward in the air, he hadn't anticipated the extra bulk. While he was gaining his balance, I kicked him square in the chest, knocking the air out of him. He plummeted a few feet, but quickly recovered. He grabbed my leg and threw me out of the air. I landed on my back. If he was strong to throw me on the ground from that high up, I didn't want to be on the receiving end of his claws. He growled at me.
"What's the matter... are you scared?" He flew down at me at an incredible speed, I rolled out of the way just in time. I caught his foot with my hand, and his momentum did the rest, he face planted into the ground. He got to his feet and spit out a tooth, blood trickled out of his mouth, but then he closed his mouth and drank from his own wound. It was disturbing to watch. "Tasty." He ran at me on all fours, I jumped to my right but he grabbed my foot just before I was out of reach, he pulled me closer to him, he almost raked my leg with his claws but I punched him in the side of the face. He had a skull like a pit bull, it probably hurt me more than him. But it worked, while he was dazed, I wriggled out of his grasp. "Come on cowered, show me your strength." I ran at him and jumped, his hands followed me but the couldn't keep up. I kicked one of his wings, and I heard a snap. He howled and spun around knocking me off balance, he didn't take the chance though, he couldn't believe that his wing was broken. To every one that ever had wings they were the most important part of your body. They were your freedom your life, and they meant the world to you.
"A demon like you doesn't deserve those blessings."
"They were never a blessing, they are a curse. They make monsters out of each of us. I would rather have gone my whole life with these!" What he did then almost made me pass out. He tucked his wings in, wrapped his arms around himself, placing a hand at the base of each wing. He started to scream, but it didn't frown out the sound of bones and tendons snapping. Blood began to spill out of his back. and He tossed his wings away like trash. It was amazing how little it seemed to phase him. Jeb really had created a monster.
"You're sick Dylan."
"I know Fang, and I wouldn't have that any other way." He smiled bearing his teeth. The White Room slowly became colorful, and everything became dark. We were in the woods the night Felix died, the White Room was building off of both of our memories. He ran at me and knocked me into one of the trees. "Does it hurt?" He slammed my head into the tree again and the world started to spin. "Good, it does." He Did it again and again and again until I blacked out. When my eyes opened back up Dylan had my arms pinned to the ground. His breath was so bad I almost passed out again. "Goodnight Fang." He neglected to pin my legs down, I raised my right leg as high and as fast as I could, kicking him in the balls. Now under any other circumstance I never would have done that, but he honestly deserved that. I pushed him off of me and got to my feet, managing to get a few more punches to his chest, when he got to his feet I kicked him in the knees, and he fell again.
"Why won't you just die! What did I ever do to you!" I stopped my merciless beating so that he could answer.
"You have had everything that I never had to chance to have. If I can't have them, you shouldn't either." He swung a paw at me and caught my legs ripping my pants, but miraculously missed my leg. He got back to his feet. "You've had a life, I've been alive for less then a year! You don't know what it's like to be a clone! To know that you are merely a copy that should never had existed in the first place! How can I be perfect if I'm a copy of someone? They failed, so I was created. You had a purpose from the start, you've been able to love and lose. To have joy and sorrow. I've never been able to do any of that! That's why I killed Jeb! He ruined my only chance of living the life that I never had! And now Fang, you are all that stands in my way."
He ran at one of the trees and started clawing away at it. The tree came crashing down and slowly disappeared. The forest faded away, and the ethereal whiteness of the White Room came back. Dylan was panting in exhaustion, he was wearing himself out, and with the loss of blood that he had earlier, he was almost at his rope's end. He smiled at me again.
"Brother, let's put an end to this madness." He ran at me snarling like an Eraser, swinging his paws at me. He was a whirlwind of claws and malice. I was still able to fly so I took to the air, easily dodging the attack. He stopped and jumped into the air attempting to go after me. I dive bombed him and smashed hm into the ground. I grabbed his shoulders and slammed him back into the ground as hard as I could. His head bounced off and I heard a snap, and stopped. I got off of him, and he closed his eyes. He chuckled, then let out a sigh.
"I'll see in again Fang... in hell." He went silent after that. I let out a heavy sigh. He was dead, at man who wanted me dead all this time was finally dead, and I was responsible. I killed him just like how Max had killed Ari, only this time Jeb wasn't around to bring him back.
Now I just had to get out of here and find every one. A door on the other end of the room opened up. behind it was the Flock. Max ran up to meet me, seeing if I was fine. then she saw Dylan. She thought it was an Eraser at first, but then I pointed to his wings. The whole room was as quiet as a graveyard.
The Chairman's POV
Well that was an unexpected show. It's amazing that Fang was able to beat the beast. Of course I could see the whole thing from the hidden observation room. I looked over at Isaac, he was standing over to my left, waiting for my next order.
"Do you think that you can take them on, all by your lonesome?"
"You have no need to worry. Fang and Max will not be defeated so easily, it will be a pleasure to break them. Father, I hope you enjoy the show."
"Oh I will my son, I will." He walked towards the hidden door that led to the White Room. Things were going to get very interesting.
That was a lot of bombshells to drop in one chapter. Well only a couple chapters left. I hope that you're on the edge of your seat, because you're not going to want take your eyes off the screen. Please continue to read and review. TBC, so all in due time.
