Chapter 17
What Do We Do Next?
A/N: A chap. or two ( 3 at max) left to this story for a heads up. Please keep reviewing. Sorry I didnt update as much as i would have liked to I had company all week. ~MB~
~Maria POV~
How did it all go wrong? It started perfectly? How did I end up here with Matt with guards all around us? This is how it'll end? All so wrong? Oh God why are they making us wait? Wait for death... that itself is worse then death. I see Matt looking around, by the look on his face he is anaylizing the situation trying to find a solution. I recognize that look becasue it had been on Michael's face many times. Is he still alive? As I put my hands over my eyes to stop myself from crying I hear fighting. As I look I see Matt fighting them off. I guess he's alway imagine going down with a blaze. I look at Matt and he grabs my arms and we are now running through the hallway looking for were the prisoners are held. We are all supose to meet at Michaels cell. That is if he has one. There were so many variables that we did not take into concideration. The main one being what if he's dead. I am panting so hard, I have no more strenght. Yet Matt is still practically dragging me. Thank God he has so much energy left. For I have feeling that the guards we met back there are just a preview of what is to come.
~Jake POV~
Kyle and I did it! We turned off the power with hardly any trouble. I never would have guessed it would have been that easy. But it was. Now we are hiding, we here guards just around the corner. From my estimate there is maybe 20 of them. The captian is giving them orders as where to search. There looking for us, Kivar isn't stupid. I just wish we had more time. The guards walk pass us and we wait a little while for any others to pass. I look over at Kyle he gives me a nod and we head. As we dash to the corridor I look back at Kyle and see his hand shaking.
"What's wrong?"- I ask in a harsh whisper
"O.. wha.. I mean nothing"- Kyle stumbles out.
It must be his nerves and to tell the truth I can't blame him. As we hide against the corner waiting for more guards to go by, I can see where they keep the prisoners at. Were almost there.
~Isabel POV~
The guards are every where. It seems as if they have the whole army looking for us. I have already had to kill 10. I keep my pace though, we all have to meet where Michael is being kept. We have to regroup. The plan has to be changed its not going to work. There are to many and I can already feel my powers being slightly drainded from pure exhaustion. I am thinking this as I run into the corrider were Michael is supposebly at. I see Liz here. Thank God.... The rest should be here soon.
"Liz!"- I yell slightly
"ISABEL! Your here"- She looks so relieved
"Yea what'd you think? I'd let them have the privledge of killing me?"- I say half heartidly
But I see her eyes are not on mine she is looking past me. I turn around and see Jake and Kyle. I run up and hug them both, so does Liz.
"Okay all we need is Max, Maria and Matt... the M's"- She states
"Liz which one's Michael's? "- I ask.. she was suppose to open it for us...
As I wait for answer I hear a noise and turn around and see Maria and Matt.
I see Liz release a large sigh..
"Where's Max?"-she questions in a state of panic... her eyes are wild looking
Oh God... where is he? He should have been here by now
~Max POV~
I sit here and watch Nickolas pace. It is actually quite amusing watching a man who looks about the age of 14 maybe 15 come here and pace like a middle age man would.
"What was your plan Max?"- He asks starting the drilling
He must have really lost it... if he thinks I will answer his questions. I am surprised he hasn't taken his answers from me yet.
He looks impatient and:
"You do know with every question you don't answer Liz gets hurt. We have decided to expirament with disect humans and keeping them awake and consious to feel it all.. even if it involves us using our powers."- He tells me
Liz... God please not her. I couldn't live with myself if she died, not here. Not NOW!
"Don't"- I whisper
"What'd you say Max? I couldn't hear you?"- He says
"I'll tell you what you want. Don't touch her!"- I reply... I feel defeated.
I look up at Nickolas see his evil smirk. Then I realize why he hasn't just taken the answers from me.. he's tired so his powers are weak.
~Liz POV~
"They must have taken him!"- I say... my eyes searching the room franticly
"Now just calm down, its to early to tell"- Jake said trying to calm me down
"NO! I know he IS TAKEN!!!"- I am about to loose it
Everyone looks solem
"Liz... did you see what was going to happen here today?"- Kyle asks me... his eyes looking straight into mine.
Do I tell them? It would destroy the last hope that they held on to. Kyle must of sensed something. Is this my chance to save them? By lying to them?
"Yes I did..."I start
They all look at me, Matt and Iz stop pacing back and forth and look at me.
"I saw us win... but everything must go down perfectly as planed and we'll save both Michael and Max" -I say but i just pray that is what I should of done.
I looked around and saw them all smiling... maybe not a big smile but at least a smirk.Though they all are ready to celebrate I can't join there celebrating because I still have that picture of Max embeded into me and now he gone.
"What do we do now?"- Maria asked me
I can tell she wants me to say get Michael... but more importantly they are looking at me as their new leader in Max's absence.
What do we do now is a good question? Because I have no clue
~Nickolas POV~
I feel like I actaully have Liz captured by the way I am using her against Max. When the group falls and they all die, I am going to kill her last and let her know that it was her fault they died. Just her existance was all I needed from her. I am using her with out her knowledge. Its a good thing too. I am to drained to use me powers to extract memories from Max. I have to save up for when and if the actaul battle starts. All of sudden I here someone at the door.
"Go away! I AM BUSY"- I hollar to the door
"NICKOLAS!"- I hear bellowed back and I know it is Kivar.
