(Recap)
"IF YOU AREN'T OFF OF ME IN 20 SECONDS FLAT LOGAN, I PROMISE I WILL BEAT YOU TO DEATH MYSELF!" Alec screamed at the figure almost entirely on top of him, not aware of the large crowd of amused people watching on.
"I'm sorry Alec, I . . . ahh . . . I'll get off now." Logan said and slowly rolled off Alec, feeling himself go extremely red, almost purple.
*********************************************************************
Logan had done a very good job of ignoring Alec most of the day, but it simply wasn't fair that he was tied very tightly to a pole while Alec was free to move around at his own accord. Alec even had a girl feeding him all sorts of yummy, mouthwatering treats while he had to sit in one corner and wait for Alec to hold out half eaten chicken drumsticks for him. At first he turned his face away, it was bad enough that he'd nearly kissed Alec, Alec feeding him wouldn't make things any better.
"Logan, it's the last time I'm offering you this delicious chicken, if you don't want it, I'll feed you raw fish, which by the way will make you sick for 15 days straight." Alec said, still holding out the chicken.
"You would know" Logan mumbled. And in the blink of an eye, Logan had his mouth filled with rotten, salty lake fish, not to mention that is was RAW! Logan knew Alec might beat him up if he didn't stomach the fish, so slowly and painfully he swallowed the fish. Then of course he burped out green gas that made half the village run out, thinking that all hell was breaking out on them.
"You stupid thing!" Alec commented, "You're gonna get sick you know that, why did you eat the fish?" he demanded, failing to suppress the grin.
"You told me to eat it!" Logan defended himself.
"It was a joke, Logan, I couldn't eat the fish, do you think I'd make you eat it?" he asked taking a big bunch of grapes from the girl and eating them one at a time.
"Can I have one?" Logan asked in a childish voice.
"Sure, here ya go." Alec said offering Logan 1 grape!
"Just one? Alec you're stingy!" Logan stated near to tears.
"And you're picky!" he answered popping the grape in question into his mouth.
*********************************************************************
"OH MY GOD!" Max stated as she looked down to see the victim she had just hit, not just with anything, but with hard wood!
"Dude, that hurt" stated the poor man.
"Chris, I didn't know it was you! I'm so sorry!" she said quickly dropping to see the damage she had caused. "Are you hurt?" she asked
"Been better dude, but I'll live, it's better than waking up to see that the awesome chick you were kissing was just dream, know what I'm saying?" he asked smiling.
"Can you get up?" Max asked, letting the dream thing slide.
"I'll give it a try." The man answered. But the attempt wasn't even carried out, both Chris and Max felt thick hands cover their faces and starve them of vital oxygen.
*********************************************************************
Sonny had never been so bored in his life, he had been lying down for the past 6 hours with no sigh of Dale at all. He thought the leg was fine enough to walk on and got up to explore the house he had resided in for the last 26 hours.
It was relatively small, with only a dried leave curtain separating the room from the make shift bathroom and toilet. The only light in the room was from was looked like an old watch being used as a solar panel to reflect anything into the little dwelling. Sonny slowly walked around the room, happy that the leg was healing fine and that he could now put weight on it. He walked around the room again, testing his muscle endurance and then sat down, pleased with the result. However something on the edge of the wooden door caught his eye. It was a well covered up hole, presumably deep filled with God knows what. Curiosity got the better of Sonny as he dug up the hole once again, it had taken some time but he finally found a small bag, deep inside the hole, with minor problems he dragged it out, what he saw in there made him scared, very scared.
It wasn't just A skull, it was a HUMAN skull; the skull in question wasn't just from someone who could have dies due to natural reasons, that was clear, the skull had a perfectly circular hole from the back, there was one thing that could cause something like that . . . a bullet.
Sonny quickly put the skull back into the bag and stuffed it into the pit, covering it up as it was before. Heart pounding he lay back down and tried to think of anything besides the skull. And that's when he heard Dale enter the room.
*********************************************************************
Max drifted to consciousness when she felt a hand trailing her face, she couldn't really pin-point whose hand it was, but it felt familiar. Max leaned into the hand, and then she heard her name being called. Her eyes drifted open and came to focus on Alec's worried ones.
"You okay?" he asked very concerned.
"Yeah, she whispered, looking around she notices that she was tied to a pole.
"I'll untie you as soon as everybody goes to sleep, okay, give them a minute."
"Everybody?" Max asked confused.
"We're in some kind of village, they think we're special so they won't hurt us, they have Logan here too." Alec informed her.
"They do!" Max asked excitedly, "Is he okay?" she added quickly. At this Alec sighed,
"He's fine, well . . . not really, he's vomiting" Alec said looking at the ground.
"What?!! What did they do to him?" She asked eagerly.
"They didn't . . . I did . . . It was a joke Max, honestly, I didn't know he'd be stupid enough to eat the fish." Alec said hurriedly, knowing Max could do some serious damage to him if her Logan Poo wasn't okay.
"You poisoned him as a joke!!!" Max asked incredulously, "Alec!" she said rather loudly.
"Shh!!!" Alec said, clasping a hand over her mouth, "Do you honestly think the tribe will go to sleep knowing that their prisoners are very loud transgenics that can beat them up?" he asked, his hand remaining in place. "You shouldn't bitch me about the fish story, you don't even know what Logan tried to do when he first woke up, only God knows what goes on in Mr. Eyes Only's mind!" he said, letting his hand drop carelessly next to him and Max.
"What did he do?" Max asked suddenly interested.
"Well . . . to begin with" Alec started and both he and Max ended up with extremely sore stomach muscles and throats from laughing so hard. Alec couldn't believe that Max was laughing at her Logan Poo, it simply amazed him.
"Think we can get out of here now?" Max asked still smiling. Alec looked at the sky, all around the dead silent village and back at Max.
"It's around midnight, it's a good time now." He said, then sighed.
"What's wrong?" Max asked worried once again.
"Max, I can't go with you all, I . . . have shaky feet." He stated lamely.
"Want me to carry you?" Max asked jokingly.
"I'm serious Max. You, Logan and Chris should get out of here while you can, they won't kill me, some stupid reason, but you and the rest are vulnerable." He said, starting to untie her hands from the pole.
"Pathetic Alec, you're coming, I don't care if I'm vulnerable or not, I'll even carry you out of here ignoring that big male ego you have, we have to stick together!" Max argued.
"Max, you don't understand, if we all go, it'll look like we planed it, they'll figure out the trick, this way, there's more of a change of us getting out of here alive! I can't risk us all being killed just because you wanted to stick together!" Alec argued back, he hated being rough with her, but it was the only way to get her to listen.
"Forget it, we can get Chris and Logan out of here, then they'll come back for us! No way am I leaving you with killers God knows how strong!"
"Max listen to me" Alec said taking a hold of her red lined hands. "They trust me as some kind of 'special' guy, just now they have a ritual and plan to sacrifice the pretty lady from out of space, what are you going to do? What am I going to do?" he asked her. She just stared back at him, speechless, she really didn't know WHAT to say.
Chris and Logan decided to ruin the moment by walking in JUST then.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" Logan asked, eyeing the way Alec was holding Max's hand.
"Feeling better from vomiting Logan?" Alec asked, never taking his eyes off Max.
"Dude, now I feel sick, you should see the way he was throwing up man, it was like . . . a Guinness Record or something!" Chris commented. Alec sighed and let go of Max's hands, he signaled for the two 'gentle men' to sit down as they discussed a getaway plan. Through the whole procedure, Alec had never once stated that he wouldn't be going with them, Max noted.
***************************
10 minutes later, everybody was ready to leave, Alec had memorized all the exits, there were 2, Chris and Logan would take the east exit while Max and 'Alec' would take the west. They had planned it such that Chris and Logan would leave first, if they had any problems Max and 'Alec' would help them out. If they got out, they would reflect Max's mirror into a dark place and then Max and 'Alec' would get the hell out of there.
So time was running and Chris and Logan just left, the watch man was sleeping as every night, so now was as good a time as ever. Max turned to Alec,
"What the hell aren't you telling me?" She demanded. Alec figured he might as well tell her.
"Max I can't feel my toes, it's from the plane crash . . . I'll be okay, I'm on medication." He said looking away from her.
"Medication?" she asked, confused.
"Yeah, these are good people, they've been feeding AND healing me!" Alec said smiling.
"I'm coming back for you, you know that?" she asked looking at him very intensely.
"Oh I know you are, I mean who else in my life is gonna threaten to kick my beautiful ass?" he asked smiling. Surprisingly, Max smiled back instead of inflicting bodily harm on him.
Come on guys came a whisper they both identified as Chris', he had said it quiet enough only for the two transgenics to hear. Proving that their escape had been successful.
Alec turned to look back at Max, wanting to tell her to get going when she suddenly pressed her lips against his. This came as a big shock to Alec, therefore the reaction time taken to respond was longer, but hey, once he got to it he didn't stop!!! His fingers intertwined in her hair, pulling her closer to him, she too had managed to make progress, by twirling her arms around his neck.
Alec knew he could do this forever but time was on a run. He slowly pulled back, letting Max do the same. His eyes met Max's, he slowly untangled his fingers from her hair.
"Promise me you'll be okay?" Max asked him
"Can't promise ya that, Max," he said looking at their intertwined hands on her lap. "You should get going." He said rather emotionless, not facing her as yet.
Max was getting up when he pulled her back down and gently kissed her again, before completely letting go and turning away from her as far as his sitting position would permit. Max was able to walk away this time, wiping the single tear that fell down her cheek, as she exited village grounds.
