There by your side

Logan's 7:59 am

Max woke up first and looked at the one she had just slept with. No she did not sleep with him she made love for the first time. She kissed his chest and he woke up. They looked into each other's eyes. They kissed again.

"I wont let you die." He said kissing her again.

"I don't care, I guess it is my destiny to die. Predestined to live to twenty I guess." She said trying to see eye to eye with him. "Don't you understand all of our fighting we were just showing each other how much we loved one another."

"I know but... I can't let you die." He said.

"Please don't get all Tuesday night movie on me. I just ain't up for it." She said getting up. She headed for the bathroom. She jumped into the shower.

Logan got out of the bed and rolled over to the bathroom. "I'm sorry," he said pulling the shower curtain. "I love you now more than ever."

"Well ready to go another round?" she said helping him into the shower with her and they made love again.

Lab

Dr. Corbo walked into the lab. "I just got the vaccine to stabilize the blood of the first wave of manticore projects." He said moving towards another doctor.

"This is great," the other doctor said. "Now all we need is the other projects."

"Yes send out the squads." Dr. Corbo said.

Jam pony

Max entered in full smiles. She even said what's up too Normal. Weird, he thought. She had a new beat to her step. She went over to her locker. "Hey, Cindy what's up?" she asked.

"Nothing, you?" Cindy said. "I mean you were taken from here. You okay, boo"

"For sure, I'm cool." She said smiling.

"No you are more than cool. Somebody been giving you some happy's haven't they?" Cindy said.

"You know, I could have been dreaming but I wasn't." she said.

"Who is it?"

"Logan he is so perfect." She said slamming her back against the locker. "This is so the life."

"You are acting to school girly for me." Original Cindy said, "Waht about that virus bitch?"

"There was a cure." She said. "Remember that wedding meand Logan went to Last year. Maybe we should get married.You can be my ghetto bridesmaid. It would be off the roof."

"This is not you. What alien took your brain and replaced it with I don't know someone who is living in a different world when we could buy stuff that we wanted?" Original Cindy asked.

" It aint me just the way I feel today." She said.

Streets of Seattle

Max was on a run. 34th street was around the corner. Atop the roof was a squad member.
She knocked on the door. No one answered. She turned around and then...

"Hey are you452?" the squad guy asked.

"Who wants to know?" she said bouncing off her bike.

"Manticore!" he said walking towards her.

She started to back away. She then did a jump onto her bike and started to petal. He leaped for her and knocked her off. She elbowed him in the gut while he got back up and kicked her. She did a back flip and landed on her feet. He charged again as a van came from the alley.

"You should have fought harder." He said.

"Okay" she said as she kicked him, she felt some of his ribs break. "How's that"

He fell to the ground. The doors of the van opened and three more popped out. She knew they were stronger than the average human was so she ran. They cornered her. She did a jump and landed over top of them. They shot some of the vaccine into her. She dropped to the ground and had a seizure. They drove away.

A few minutes later, she got up after a few people walked by her pointing. She got up to notice her bike was gone. She was going to panic but she did not even care. She started to walk. Until, she saw someone riding her bike. She was mad so she started to sprint. She caught the guy. She tossed him off.

"Didn't your mamma ever teach you not to steal?" she asked kicking the guy.

"I didn't know it was yours."

"I don't care don't take what does not belong to you."

He started to run "Bitch!" he said.

"I know!" she said hopping on starting to ride on.

Logan's home

She told him about what had happened today. He didn't know what to say. It was getting late and he made some dinner so they sat down and ate.

She kissed him and they laid in the bed a little later until the seizures started again worse. She fell to the ground. He felt her pulse but there was not one.....
