DISCLAMIER- hey guys!!! I hope your enjoying my story! I have 2 others in
mind after this one, the names of them are, "Past may repeat itself" and
"Evil lies where you least expect it too" Sounds cool? I am not going to
start typing them til after I finish this story or else I'll get confused.
And for the record no I am not translating this from French, I am 100%
American and speak no other language. If it's about my spelling, sorry that
I misspell some words. It's just that when I go back to proofread I am so
used to what is already said I kinda over look some things, but I will try
harder to catch them. I type really fast so I will try harder, sorry(
thanks for reviewing! It means so much to me, all your good comments.
Every time there is a new one I print it out and when I get writers block
or discouraged, I read them and it helps me think of cool new things for my
story. So keep reviewing and defiantly keep reading! Thanks so much guys!
Love you all!
-Nat-
Alec glanced helplessly at her. "Max are you ok?" He asked. Max didn't give up moving. "Does it look like it!?" She snapped angrily at him. Alec bit his bottom lip. After a while Max felt her muscles burn and her breathing was heavy. When she inhaled she felt the chains tighten around her body. "Max, come on girl, clam down!" Cindy suggested. "Hey no, no, don't. If you knew half the stuff he is going to do her, you would wanna get your fat butt out of here too." Alec stood up for her. "Hey, he's gonna kill me! And you don't see me jumping around like a freaken jumpin bean now do ya!!?" Cindy yelled back at him. "Well your lucky, your gonna die, she isn't! Get that threw your thick head!" Alec shouted matching her tone.
"True, but you said her." Cindy pointed out. "Well ya Cindy, Max is a female, at least last time I checked.hummm that didn't sound right, well the last time I heard! And if she isn't then that is one hell of a costume and one hell of a hot male!" Alec shouted. "No you big, big, big loser, what bout you? Aren't you going to get it just as bad?" Cindy clarified. "Oh, no. She's going to get it WAY worse than me. No transgenic, yet no one in the face of the world can be deeper than she is with him. No one could be farther on his bad side than Max Guerrera." Alec replied. "Thanks Alec." She said between her teeth as she tried breaking the chains. "Hey sorry Max when it comes to White and pain, your on your own." Alec admitted. "Max.." Logan began "Your all going to die and it's all my fault. I am a poison to everyone I love." Max replied helplessly leaning her head back on the bars. "Max, you aren't a.." "Yes, yes I am Logan. Renfro said it herself." Max said getting hysterical. "Oh Renfro, Madam X, who ever knows jack squat!" Alec replied.
"Max! Snap out of it!" Logan shouted. Max blinked several times. "Sorry." She said quietly not knowing what had come over her. Max looked over at Logan, whose cell was next to hers. "Max, we brought this on ourselves. Once we found out you where a transgenic, we could have abandoned you, we didn't have to continue to be your friend. But we did, and we don't care if it's come to this." Logan explained. "Right on, I didn't have to let you stay with me, but I did." Cindy replied. "And I didn't have to help you, but I did." Rafer added. "It's because we care about you Max, a lot. So much we were and are willing to die for you. Yeah we aren't your brothers or sisters, but hopefully we come close. We got your back we always have and always will." Logan replied looking at her.
Max looked into his eyes and smiled. "I love you, and I wish we could be together. I just didn't want to hang around because I was hurting you and me. I hope you understand that. Until this virus thing is sorted out, we have to see other people." Max replied to him. Logan smiled and shook his head yes, e accepted that and just prayed that is the virus ever DID come back, she would too. "Thanks, all of you." She said quietly. All of them smiled at her and gave Alec a warm smile, who returned it. She then yanked on the chains one last time as if she was using the very last of her strength then tired slumped against the chains. Handcuffs bounded her hands behind her and around a bar. A chain wrapped around her chest several times. "As you can see Exhibit A, White doesn't want her to leave." Alec replied talking about Max. Logan grinned. "Alec." Max snapped. "Yeah Max?" He asked. "Now isn't the BEST time to be cracking your lame jokes." She said. Alec smiled. "Right sorry, had a moment." Alec admitted.
Max was on the verge of sleep till the annoying squeaky sound of her cage door woke her up. She lifted her head and saw Ames she watched him walk up to her and squat down in front of her. Max eyed him. "What are you doing?" She asked suspicious then sunk a needle deep into her skin and pushed clear liquid through. "Count to 10." He ordered. Max looked at him weirdly. "No." She said. Ames shrugged and did it himself. Once he hit 10, Max's body felt like Jello. Ames unchained her and yanked her up. She could barely stand up, making it almost impossible for her to fight, so that was what that stuff was doing basically paralyzing her so she couldn't fight back, because he knew she could escape again.
Ames led her out of the room where everyone was at, and led her down a series of hallways. They came to a closet looking room, small and nowhere to escape from. Ames shoved something hard into her and shoved her in the room. "Change, now. Or I'll do it for you. You got 5 minutes." He warned then slammed the door shut. She starred at the door then looked down at her old Manticore uniform. She defiantly didn't want Ames's help, but she didn't want to put it on either. Knowing Ames though he would find someway to get it on her, so why allow Ames to see her and just do it herself? Max sighed and took off her shirt and put the uniform on. She short 'cap' sleeve fitted tightly on her biceps, like it should. Once 5 minutes was up Ames swung the door open to find Max sitting on the floor, her knees to her chest, dressed in the uniform. "Surprising you actually followed my orders. Too bad, I actually was hopping you wouldn't this time." Ames replied lifting an eyebrow. Max looked at him in disgust, wrinkling up her nose and lifted 1 eyebrow higher than the other. She then rolled her eyes, typical guy answer.
Ames, faster than light, grabbed her throat and rammed her up against the hard concrete wall. "Don't role your eyes at me sweetheart. This isn't outside, your in here, you obey MY rules and you obey me! No back talking, no frightening back, no smart mouthing me, no rolling your eyes, no sign language like the finger or something else, no facial expressions. And if I should hit you, kick, you, beat you whatever; if I even think that your thinking of hitting me back you'll be in worse trouble than you are now! Got it 452?" Ames replied through his teeth with anger. Every now and then he shoved on her throat harder. "I thought I couldn't get any deeper." Max replied quietly. Ames let go of her throat but grabbed her chin just as hardly. "Now see, that's smart mouthing, I don't like it, especially when it comes form you, but since I am such a good and negotiable and proper man, I'll let it slide this time. But I swear your punishments might not always be a good beating." Ames hissed then let her go and just stood in front of her.
Max looked at him. "What do you mean?" She asked kind of scared. Ames grinned. "Let's just say I have lots of surveillance tapes of past lives that you would. rather forget or everyone. Plus I have a couple of X5's that are very attracted to you, so don't piss with me 452." Ames warned. Max looked into his cold-hearted face. "Let's go." He replied breaking the silence. And shoving her out of the room. He led her down lots of hallways, clutching her neck. They past lots of cells filled with transgetics. While they walked past, some called out "Help us Max!" Some shouted, "Free us again Max!" And others shouted. "Please Max, get us out of this horrible place!" Ames answer for Max, "Don't count on it."
Ames shoved Max into a room. It was all white and 1 whole wall was a window, with bulletproof glass. The room had a bed attached to the wall, a speaker next to the window, a small lamp, and a small TV with the word 'mission, duty, success' on it. Nothing else. "What the hell is this?" Max asked standing in the middle of he room. "Well.." Ames replied as he sat on the edge of Max's bed. "The old Manticore was top secrete. Considering everyone knows about it now, the Conclave felt that this new Manticore was more.public." Ames replied in his eerily voice that freaked Max out. Max gave him one of her faces meaning she had no clue what he was talking about. Ames sighed and thought of how to put it. "The public people will be allowed to come in and observe transgenic behavior and." "Like a zoo." Max replied simply yet shocked.
Ames looked at her. "If you wanna put a label on it..yeah, I guess so." Ames replied sitting his elbows on his knees and cupping his hands together. Max looked down at her feet, she couldn't believe it. Ames then grabbed her hand and turned it over to her palm and examined his symbol. "See this?" Ames replied getting her attention. Max looked at it then him. "This means your mine. My property." He said smiling evily. Max withdrew her hand away from his. "Yeah right." She replied. She was about to turn around until he grabbed her wrist and spun her back around. "Where did you take my son? Tell me now, before I get really angry." Ames warned. "Not here." Max replied truthfully. Ames's face turned into a sneer and he flipped Max on her back on her bed. He hovered over her gripping her shoulders. "I'm warning you 452." He said.
This was the one of the few things she saw in Ames. Sometimes, not easily though he would slip into the worse attitude, he couldn't get any hotter and angrier without self-combusting. "Are you going to kill them?" she asked softly. Ames moved out of her face. "What?" he asked not knowing what she was talking about. "Logan, Rafer and Cindy. are you going to kill them?" she asked again. Ames looked at her then let her go and walked towards the wall huge window. Max slowly sat up, keeping her eyes locked on her enemy. "I don't know, depends on you 452." He replied, his back to her. "Me?" she asked confusingly. Ames turned around and faced her across the room. She was backed into the corner of her bed, looking like a scared puppy. "Yeah you, might be one of your punishments, I dunno." Ames replied walking up closer to her.
Max looked down. "So if I were you and I didn't want to dig my friend's grave, I would behave." Ames said looking down on her. She glanced at him then looked back down sadly. Suddenly Ames punched her as hard as he could in the face. Max kept her head where it landed and breathed hardly, trying to block out the massive pain. Her hair covered most of her face, but Ames could still see her. After a couple of seconds Ames grinned. He loved having power over Max. He then patted her hardly on the shoulder. "That's my girl, glad to know you catch on fast." Ames replied cheerfully then banged on the door. A guard then opened the door because there was no handle or doorknob on the inside of the door, only a handle on the outside. Once the door shut it blended into the wall, making it look like there was no door. She felt like a gerbil, all walls were solid and white except one, which was one big window. She touched her cheek tenderly, the pain ran through her head. She looked across the hallway and saw Alec gently pounding the back of his head on to the wall. She felt like she was going to cry. Maybe Manticore was where she was MENT to be, just she didn't WANT to be there. Max then buried her face in her pillow and amazingly fell into a deep sleep.
Alec glanced helplessly at her. "Max are you ok?" He asked. Max didn't give up moving. "Does it look like it!?" She snapped angrily at him. Alec bit his bottom lip. After a while Max felt her muscles burn and her breathing was heavy. When she inhaled she felt the chains tighten around her body. "Max, come on girl, clam down!" Cindy suggested. "Hey no, no, don't.
