Rebirth


Rebirth

    The sound of Max's heart, No Zack's heart beating echoed around her like a curse.
    She wished she could silence the sound. It reminded her with every beat that Zack was dead.
    Tears rolled down Max cheeks.
    God Zack why'd you have to do it?
    He was her brother she had loved him with every aspect of her being. Zack had in return loved her enough to sacrifice himself to ensure she would live.
    Max's shoulder's shook with sobs.
    "Zack. Zack. Zack." She repeated his name over and over again. She continued to cry to curse herself. If she hadn't been so damned careless Manticore would be dust now. Everyone would be free. And Zack...Zack would be alive.
    Max was yanked out of her thoughts as she heard footsteps approach the door.
    The door slid open and Renro walked in.
    Max snarled at her as she approached her.
    "Come X560 it's time for you're reprograming." Renro's voice was calm and a smug smile hovered around her lips.
    "Go to hell!" Max snapped.
    "Sorry dear already been there," Renro chuckled as if the words Max had said amused her.
    "You will die. Very soon you will die and It'll be me who kills you," Max growled.
    "You really don't want to do that do you X560 unless you want to die. And you really don't want X504's sacrifice to be in vain now do you?"
    Max glared murder at Renro. She hated this woman. Hated her far more than she had hated even Lydecker. Max tried to jerk away from Renro as she approached and laid a hand on Max's arm.
    "Now X560 you're reprogramming will start." With that said she injected a syringe filled with dark blue fluid into Max's arm.
    Max fought the drug as it began to take over her system. The edge of her vision was black. She was still fighting it as she lapsed into unconsciousness.
