CHAPTER: Click Away
She closed the door behind her and turned on the camera. " Take off your shirt," she said with a heavy sigh.
Alec took of his shirt smiling he could tell she was less than comfortable. " Click away."
She moved up to his body. She took another deep breath. She noticed his runes were written almost like scrolls. She took pictures of the ones on his arms first. She then took the ones on his chest.
" Say something." The fact that she wasn't talking was starting to make him feel uncomfortable.
She went on her knees to take the pictures of the runes a little below is navel. " This looks so wrong," she said giggling lightly.
" You're right it does," she said watching her hands shake. " You're not afraid of me, are you?"
" Why would you think that?"
" You're hands are shaking."
She didn't notice she was nervous about it. He did look really good but she thought she had that under control. " Just turn around," she said trying to dismiss him.
Alec was laughing at the idea that Max was at ease around him. " You done yet?"
" Yeah, just one more." She took the last picture and walked out the room.
Alec put on his shirt and followed her out. " Does Logan have any idea what these things mean yet?"
" I think he was getting somewhere with mine but these might me challenging." She said looking at the pictures she had taken.
Mole came into the room. He had to talk to Max. Things weren't going as well as they expected it to go. " Max we need to talk."
" What is it?" she said. She knew that Mole was most likely going to complain. It was all he did.
" When are we going to attack?"
" When the time is right." She had to explain this to Mole almost everyday. They had to plan their attack for when they least expected it. They were fighting two wars, one against the familiars and one against the humans. They couldn't just attack, they didn't want to fight the humans but the humans wanted to fight them. They had to get the humans on their side first.
" Max our people are dying and we are sitting down doing nothing. "What are you going to do about it?"
She began to feel her stomach tuning, her head was getting light, and she couldn't feel the ground. Everyone expected her to have all the answers. She did her best and it still wasn't enough. Max felt her legs drop. She was suddenly feeling cold and weak.
" Max," Alec said kneeling down the side of her propping up her head. " Are you Ok?"
" What are you going to do about it?" Mole was still shouting. " You got us into this now get us out of it."
" Mole shut up." Alec said holding Max up.
" Don't tell me to shut up. She thinks she can just leave us here to die."
" If you don't shut up I swear to god I will kill you."
Mole slammed some papers to the ground then walked away. He knew he couldn't fight Alec; he would most likely end up dead.
" Max," Alec said shaking her lightly. " Wake up."
" She opened her eyes." She saw she was on the ground and people were watching her. She got up immediately. " I was just a little tired." She lied. She walked into her room and sat on a chair. She put her head into her hand. She wanted to cry but she couldn't.
Alec walked into the room. He sat on a chair opposite her. " Are you Ok?" he asked.
" I'm fine." She said coolly.
" You can't fool me with that." He walked up and stood on behind the chair she was sitting. " You don't have to pretend around me, I know this has been hard for you."
She sighed heavily " nothing I do is right with him, I'm so tired."
" You don't have to do it on your own, you can ask me for help."
She shook her head. " You didn't ask for this, I'm the one you got into this mess."
" You didn't get me in any mess, you got me out of it, Manticore was the mess."
" Do have to be so sweet all the time," she asked smiling. She was seeing a side of Alec that she hadn't seen before. Maybe it was true what Sandeman said.
" Stop it, you're making me blush." He said smiling in return.
" Alec."
" Yeah?"
" I have something to tell you," she wanted to tell him what Sandeman said. " I didn't tell you everything what Sandeman said."
" Go on, tell me."
"I don't know how you're going to take this."
" You'll never know until you tell me," he said.
" I think I know hat the runes on body are about," she aid getting up.
" Did he tell you about them?" he was getting curious.
" Some thing like that."
" So what do they say?" he said excitedly. " I'm going to die," he said his face now twisting up.
" That's not it."
" Thank god," he said with putting his hand over his heart. " So what is it?"
She sat in silence. She didn't know how to tell him but she knew she had to; he had the right to know. This was as much about him as it was about her
