Taken
Chapter 29
Fang's POV
There it is. I'm sure of it. That has to be the place. I was in the woods surrounding a building in the middle of nowhere. That has to be where they have Max. But what am I going to do? If I go in there, I need a plan. If I don't have one, then I will just be asking to get caught. I hate to admit it but Viper can kick my ass anytime. Plan, I need a good plan…
I'm so close Max. Just hold on!
Ella's POV
"It's been over a week." I said to Nudge.
"Yeah but he just found out about Texas." She replied as I carried the sleeping Ghost into mom's room. It was three in the afternoon, and though he says he doesn't need a nap time, Ghost fell asleep.
"But what if he runs off like last time?" I asked, setting Ghost on the bed and then pulling the covers over his sleeping body.
"He wouldn't leave Ghost. Would he?" She asked.
"You've known him longer than I have." I commented, walking out the door, Nudge in tail.
"I guess." Nudge shook her head. "But I'm sure Fang will find Max."
"I guess…" I mumbled, walking into the kitchen.
"I know it might sound weird and like inconsiderate of Max but, a guy asked me out and I was wondering if you think I should go?" Nudge asked me.
"I'm not sure. I guess. It's not like us being home miserable is going to bring her back."
"Hmm, I'll go." Nudge said. "I have to call him and tell him yes."
"Here, use my cell." I handed her it, grabbed a coke, and went into the living room.
"Hey Iggy." I said.
"Hey. You put Ghost down?" Iggy asked. 'Your mom said before she left for work that he needed to take a nap sometime during the day."
"Yeah, Nudge and I were playing with him and he fell asleep so we put him in mom's room." I told him.
He nodded his head. "Look, I'm sorry about snapping at you before."
"It's okay. I almost forgot about it anyways." I forgave him. "Look, you may say that this is non of my business but have you talked to Gasman?"
"I tried to but he ignored me." Iggy shook his head. "I'm sure things will get better if Fang brings Max back."
"When not if." I told him.
Max's POV
"You like that?" Viper mumbled, pulling out of our kiss.
I swallowed, which by the way, hurt like hell. It hurt to even breath at this point. I shouldn't have kneed him in the crotch. He beat the hell out of me. I nodded my head yes. In truth I hated every second of it but I was not going to take another beating. I hope Fang doesn't get mad at me.
"Just like a whore." He whispered.
He shoved me to the ground, hard. I'm ashamed to say that I let out a whimper. When I fell I had cracked some of my skull. Some blood trickled out.
"Aw. Did I hurt the precious baby?" Viper mocked. He reached down and pulled me back up. EH then threw me onto the bed. "Let me fix the baby."
He climbed onto the bed with me and crawled on top of me…
Fang's POV
Okay, so it has been almost an hour and I still have no plan. I can't take it anymore! Fuck the plan; I am going in to get Max. I run out of the woods and flew to the building. I landed right in front of is and walked around the building, looking for an open window or something. By some luck of whatever god there is out there, one was open.
There were a few Whitecoats in the room. I could take them. I climbed through the window and did just that. They were all dead in minutes. I was still undetected so I looked out the door and saw that the hall was empty. I walked out and almost immediately heard someone behind me.
"Going somewhere?"
I turned and faced the speaker. "Jeb?"
"Hello Fang." Jeb said. "I believe you're going the right way."
"What are you talking about?" I asked. This man had to be crazy!
"Well, if you are here for the same reason I am, then you are going the right way." He told me.
"You're looking for Max?" This guy was unbelievable.
"Fang, as hard as it is for all of you to believe, I do care for Max. She's my daughter." For once since he had left us in the E-shaped house, Jeb seemed like an actual father. I'm sure he was at Ari's funeral but I was focused on Max then. (Jeb was there wasn't he? Too lazy to look.)
I nodded my head, and started walking again. Jeb quickly got in step with me.
"Fang, they know me here. I have told them that I am on business. Act like you are with me. Okay?" He asked.
I nodded my head again. He may be acting like a father now but that doesn't mean I have to talk to him.
We kept walk, occasionally passing a Whitecoat. Jeb just said hello and we kept walking. We were now on the third floor. I heard a scream. I knew that one.
"That's Max." I told Jeb.
He nodded his head as we approached the door. There was another scream and I flung open the door.
I won't go into detail of what he was doing to her so let's just say he was raping her and you guys can fill exactly what that means in your own heads.
"Oh." Jeb exclaimed as I rushed and pulled the bastard off of her. I threw him, or at least tired to.
"Nice of you to join us." The Eraser said, zipping up his pants. "Your whore has been calling for you."
"You bastard." I lunged at him. I as out of the corner of my eye Max ad a head wound. That just made me even more pissed off.
Max's POV
Fang lunged at him as I took in exactly what was happening. I grabbed my clothes and got dressed. For the first time I realized that Jeb was here. What the hell?
"Going somewhere bitch?" Viper asked. He had Fang pinned to the ground.
"Fang!" I screamed, trying to pull him off.
"Get off me bitch." Viper swung his hand back, slapping me across the face. I already felt woozy from having lost blood so I fell.
"Urg!" Fang flung up throwing Viper off his back. "I'm going to fucking kill you!"
Fang grabbed Viper by the throat and lifted him in the air.
"How?" Jeb mumbled to himself.
"You think that you can kill me?" Viper laughed in Fang's face. Big mistake.
Fang slammed him against the wall. Viper slumped against the floor. Fang bent down and got in his face.
"You tried to kill me, you've raped my girlfriend, and you mocked my son. Do you know what I'm going to do to you?" Fang words were filled with venom. "I'm going to rip you damn Goddamn head off!"
Fang dragged him up by the throat again. "I'm so going to enjoy this." Fang whispered.
"You killing me won't change the fact that that fag of a kid you call yours is mine or that your girl had sex with me." Viper taunted.
Fang squeezed Viper throat so hard that Viper started chocking. Fang then grabbed Vipers shoulder and pulled with both hands. The noise it made was the most disgusting one I had ever heard but also the one that I had longed to hear for so long. It was the most bloody thing I had ever seen. Fang dropped the body and held Vipers head in his hand for a second. Then he dropped it too. He lifted his foot and crushed it. It made a loud crunch noise. Fang wiped his hands on his jeans and then walked over to me. He helped me up and brought me into a hug.
"Are you going to make it till I get you a bandage?" He asked, referring to my head.
"Fang." I ignored his question. 'You've got a new power!"
"What?"
"Super strength." I smiled into his shoulder.
Jeb cleared his throat. I had almost forgotten that he was here. Why is he here to begin with?
"I believe this is where I make a distraction and you two get away?" Jeb had a smile on his face.
I open my mouth to ask why he was here but Fang picking me up bridal style stopped me.
"Right." Fang smile at me. "Thanks Jeb."
Jeb nodded his head. "I'll be in touch with you soon."
Fang nodded his head back and ran out the door, me in his arms.
Fang's POV
We had been flying for two hours. I knew that I had to clean Max's wound me I didn't have time. Jeb's not the best at creating a diversion. There were flyboys and Mgeeks on our tail!
"Fang?" I was still carrying Max in my arms.
"Yeah honey?" I looked behind me and could see them in the distance. Shit!
"I'm tired." She said. "I'm gonna go to sleep."
"No Max." If I knew anything, I knew that you are not supposed to sleep when you're losing blood. 'Stay awake."
"Fine." She had her eyes closed but her breathing told me she was awake.
"Max, I'm going to land and set you down." I said, knowing that there was no way we were going to get away from the enemy.
"Hmm." Was all Max said.
I angled my wings downward and touched the ground. I hid her in some bushes and flew back in the air.
I won't bore you with the details of the fight. Apparently Max was right. I did have super strength. Fifty of them at a time jumped on me and I still won. Not that I'm bragging…
I flew back to where I had put Max. She was sitting up, fighting to stay awake. I reached out and picked her up. I flew back into the air until I got above a town.
"Max." I said, flying down to the edge of the woods. "I'm going to go get you bandages. You stay in the woods."
"Okay Fang." She mumbled sleepily.
I set her down, kissed the top of her head, and walked out into town. I went into a dollar general and grabbed some bandages and stuff to clean up wounds. I walked up to the counter and the guy who rang me up looked at me funny.
"Is that blood on your pants?" He asked.
"None of your business." I said, handing him the money.
I walked out of the store and back into the woods where I left Max. Her wound was not big, or else she probably would have died. It is just that it was still bleeding a little and I was afraid that it would get infected.
"Sit up honey." I said, lifting her up gently.
I wrapped the bandage around her head after disinfecting the wound. Once I finished she wrapped her arms around my neck and I picked her up.
"Is he alright?" Max mumble against my neck.
"Who?"
"Ghost.' She said. "Where is he?"
"With your mom." I said, running and taking off into the air.
Ella's POV
"Hey Gasman." I say as the boy walks into the room.
"Hey Ella. Have you seen Iggy?" He asked.
"No."
He sighs and sits on the couch with me.
"Rawr!" Ghost ran into the room screaming. He jumped into my lap. "Did me scare you?"
I giggled.
"You no supposed to laugh." He crossed his arms, looking even cuter than before.
"She laughed because you did it wrong. " Gasman said. I think that was the first time he had actually spoken to Ghost.
"How you do it thens?" He asked.
"Call Nudge in here." Gasman got up and walked into the hall closet. "But don' t tell her I'm in here."
"Oh a." ghost said. "Nu Nu! Come ear! Nu Nu!"
"What? What's wrong?' Nudge came rushing into the room. She ran by the hall closet and Gasman jumped out, tackling her to the ground. She jumped up, grabbed Ghost from me, and rushed into the kitchen.
Over the sound of me and Gasman laughing I heard Ghost ask, "Did us scares you?"
