[20.1] The Beginning of the End; Part One

/Ms. Martinez's/the Voice's/Val's :D POV

Ms. Martinez's microphone suddenly fell to the floor. She felt her chair being yanked, and a rope being tied around her.

Erasers popped into her view.

"Hello, Ms. Martinez. Can we call you Val? No? How about the Voice?" Her eyes widened.

How did they know…?

An eraser carried a limp body into the room. "Ella!" Valencia screamed.

She glared at the eraser holding her. "What the hell did you do to my daughter?" she snarled. The eraser smiled cruelly.

"Oh, nothing. Just gave her an anesthetic. It'll wear out in a few hours. Precautionary measures," he said. He began to bind Ella's wrists and ankles together, and put her on the bed.

Valencia struggled against the eraser's grip. "What do you want from me?" she asked icily.

"Oh nothing," an eraser said, (probably the leader of this pack, she assumed, due to his size), picking up the dropped microphone.

A gag was thrust into her mouth. The lead eraser tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and a video feed popped up, from Max's view. At the moment, there were a pair of bright-red eyes, and an upside-down Max was reflected.

She was bruised and scratched, a streak of dried blood close to her ear. Her hair was matted in mud, and her lip was split.

"What happened to my daughter?!" Valencia tried to shout. Her question came out muffled.

"Sorry. Didn't catch that," the lead eraser said. "But anyways. You see, after all this time, you thought Itex wouldn't be able to notice that chip in her arm. At first, we didn't know what it was either. But through that tracker in her brain [A/N: yeahhh. for the purposes of this story, there's a tracker/thing in her brain. yeah.]… it led us to you. And your sweet, ex-husband Jeb happily pointed out you, the Voice." Valencia bit her lip. The bastard, she thought. "And now," the eraser continued, "thanks to all your help, we can now lead Max into the hands of death. All thanks to you." To Valencia Martinez, it felt like the room had taken on a new air- evil. So why haven't you put me to sleep yet? She wondered.

The eraser answered her unsaid question. "But we wouldn't want you to miss seeing your daughter, fighting to death. No. We want you to see every minute of it." She gasped, shocked.

"Have fun."

The erasers left the room, leaving Valencia Martinez to wallow in her thoughts.

What have I done…?

/Max's POV

What? Fang?

No. It wasn't possible. Or was it?

Fang smiled at me. Whether it was with sincerity or cruelty, I couldn't tell. My mind was racing; fight or flight.

I noticed my mouth was still gaping. Could… could it really be?

"F-fang?" I hiccupped. "Is it… r-really you?"

Oh my God. I felt like crying.

No answer.

"Fang…?"

/Fang's POV

Fang was just as equally shocked as Max. Here she was, in the flesh. Who cared if she was covered in blood and dirt?

She was still as stunning as she was three years ago.

"Fang…?" By the time she had repeated his name a second time, he snapped out of his reverie.

Duh. Had he not been holding her shoulders, he would have face-palmed. Get her to the rooftops!

"'Night Max." he said. He jabbed her in the temple, knocking her out momentarily.

He carried her now limp body away into the night, a silent shadow among the black-ink of the sky. The two were never detected.

[A/N] Forgive me for ending short. :3

…right now, Fang's taking Max to the roofs for the final showdown. :D (ohgodwhattheduckisthat)

Honestly, I dislike the OOCness and weirdness of this story that I believe it possesses. ugh. OKAY, GONNA GO TYPE UP MORE CHAPTERS OR ELSE YOU GUY'S ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT SOME MORE.

and if you think this is a cliffhanger, (which it kinda is,) that's so I cn type up stuff more easier. I mean, if the ending's "flat", then it's really hard to think of how I'll finish it. u_u

OHAND. If you like, have any questions or shat about the whole "why did ms. m let max try and take out the chip which was actually where the voice came from and yeah", it's a really long explaination which i thought up on the spot, so just make sure your review/pm is replyable... and i'll tell you. LOL.
