NATASHA!!!
Max sat on a small and uncomfortable bed chained to the wall. A thin pillow laid at the top and a small blanket covered the thin mattress. Max looked to the left and the right, her cat vision making it easy to see in the dark. There was not much, concrete walls and a transgenic proof door. Max sat there and pulled her knees up to her chest.
She couldn't sleep, she was too busy frightening off flashbacks of her previous visits at Manticore. Along with the visions and flashbacks, Max looked back on all the things that happened the evening before. She WAS glad she had gotten away from Pryce, but she was in Manticore now for goodness sake, she would be seeing him frequently and soon. She felt like crying so many times about so many things and if she remember right she did a couple times.
She had no clue how long she had been sitting in the dark when suddenly bars of light around the top of the ceiling flickered on and an annoying alarm went off. Max looked around now able to see everything and she looked at the window that was covered with bars left and right, up and down. Max walked up to it and looked closer out, peering out seeing many transgenics run over the yard and stand in attention in lines.
"Good old home." Max said sarcastically.
Suddenly someone opened the door and Max looked over her shoulder to see who it was. She sighed to herself after she saw it was Ames, one of her not-so-favorite people.
"Already up 452?" he asked walking in and someone closed it after he stepped in.
"Just checkin out what all the fuss was all about." Max answered.
"Surprised you got up at the alarm." Ames answered sitting down on her bed and resting his elbows on his knees.
"I didn't. I didn't sleep." Max informed him.
"You didn't sleep? Really?" he asked interested.
"Yeah, don't need to most times, I have some shark DNA in me. Doesn't mean I don't sleep though. Besides how to you expect me to sleep after you put me in here?" Max asked looking around.
"You better get used to, because your gonna be here for the rest of your life." Ames shared grinning.
"To hell I am, we'll see." Max threatened.
Ames looked at her, glaring.
"You need to get the rules straight around her 452, and you have to obey them, no questions asked. If not, you're gonna find yourself in my office, in pain and wishing you had obeyed." Ames began changing the subject.
Max sighed as she looked down at the floor.
"I would like to remind you that your are in MY turf, therefore you will obey the rules. This isn't like outside where you can run around pissing me off and testing my patience, if you do that in here your gonna find yourself in trouble." Ames warned.
Max grinned slightly.
"Good times. Good memories." Max said.
Ames glared at her.
"And might I also say that it is taking EVERYTHING in me to not kill you." Ames shared.
Max bit her lip and looked away.
"Ok 1st one, when you wake up you are to get up IMMEDIATELY as you hear that bell. Once we move you to your permanent barracks soldiers or myself or Renfro will come in and see if your all up and standing in attention. If you're not the soldiers will use physical actions on you." Ames stated.
Max sighed as she sat down on the ground.
"Today you'll get the feel of things but here are some guidelines or rules of wisdom as you will. Don't talk back to anyone with a higher rank than you, don't ask questions or question an order, answer when we speak to you, ask to speak before you speak, and if someone with a higher rank than you strikes you, do NOTHING about it. Don't get smart, mouth off, fight back, threaten, etc. Understand?" Ames asked.
Max nodded her head.
"Good now follow me." Ames replied getting up and taking Max out of the room.
Max walked across the wet grass of the yard, following Ames, seeing transgenics lined up, chest out, standing up tall and everything. Max looked most in the face, some she recognized, some she didn't. Max then moved her sharp eyes to a man calling out various numbers and hearing some people reply, Max winced as she saw officers walk up and down the 10 lines of transgenics, 10 in each row.
"You have to take roll?" Max asked.
"In case someone is missing, trying to escape, didn't get up and other things. Anyone missing…………….well you don't want to not be here during roll call." Ames advised smiling at her.
Pryce then walked up to them, dressed in loose blue jeans and a gray tight t- shirt, his hair spiked up and black boots covering his feet.
"Hey boss, what's happenin'?" Pryce asked chewing his gum, chomping it a couple of times as the man continued calling out numbers.
"Dropping off 452. Make sure she follows orders, if not….send her to my office. After your through send her to Renfro's office, there she will meet her new CO and the rest of her team." White ordered.
"Of course sir." Pryce answered.
Ames nodded then looked at Max who moved her eyes to meet his slowly.
"I'll be watching and remember what I said earlier, you DO NOT want to test my patience." Ames warned then walked off.
"Ouch." Pryce said biting his thumbnail as Max turned to face him.
"Shut-up." Max said annoyingly, not wanting to hear it.
Pryce then wrapped his arm around her neck and bent over, causing her to do the same, putting her in headlock.
"Now see Maxie, that's the kinda stuff that'll get ya in trouble around here, you can't say it. You treat me with respect, understand!? Now your lucky I am such a kind and understanding man, because I can do worse than this as punishments, ok. But it's your first day back, so I am cutting you a little bit of slack." Pryce said then pushed her to the ground.
"Understand?" Pryce asked her standing up and waiting for her answer.
Max felt all eyes on her as she forced her anger to keep inside her.
"Perfectly sir." Max mumbled.
"Good, now get up and follow me." Pryce ordered.
Max forced herself to get up and follow Pryce through the isles of the transgenics. Pryce led her to a small, portal potty looking thing. Pryce turned to Max.
"Now change." he said.
Max wrinkled her nose.
"Why?" Max asked.
"Well you can't fight in that." Pryce said looking at her outfit.
"DO it all the time" Max answered.
Pryce raised an eyebrow.
"I gave you an order, change now." Pryce said more sternly.
Max groaned and made a notion to turn around and walk in.
"You know I could always help you Max." Pryce said grinning.
"Think I can handle it sir!" Max mumbled and walked it, locking the door and spinning around resting her back against the door, feeling as if she wanted to cry.
"My offer still stands." he appointed and turned around and rested his back on the wall, waiting.
Max stood there, leaning her back against the door. Inhaling deeply, her best method on trying to control herself and to help her not cry. She didn't want to put this uniform on, she didn't want to do what they told her to do, she didn't want to listen to any of them and give them the satisfaction that they got X5 452 to listen to them.
Max then sighed, but of course she didn't want Pryce's help getting this uniform on and she was more than certain if she didn't he would find a way to get it on her. Him or someone else. And she knew if she didn't follow orders she would get in MAJOR trouble and get herself LORD KNOWS what kinda punishment.
{OK, I am going to listen, but just because I don't wanna get hurt, feel pain or get raped. But while I am pretending to be a good little solider, I'm getting a plan to get outta here. Ok, yeah, I'll do that.} Max told herself in her head.
Pryce watched people pass him chomping his gum and cracking it when Max opened the door, in her gray and black camo pants and a grayish light blue t-shirt, the caps of the shirt fitting close to her biceps. Pryce looked over in her direction and whistled.
"Wow Max, looking' hot, Surprised didn't think you would listen to me." Pryce said smiling straightening himself up, standing and crossing his arms across his chest, looking her over.
{Keep control, keep control, don't say anything smart! Don't, don't, DON'T!} Max told herself in her head.
"Can't beat 'em, join 'em right……sir." Max said basically forcing herself to call him sir.
"Amen to that baby, let's go." Pryce said placing his hand on her back and pushing her forward back where they came.
Pryce led Max back to the rows of transgenics, still standing in attention. Pryce led max to a spot in the 2nd row, the last one, on the edge.
"Stand here, this will be your position from now on until your told otherwise. Got it?" Pryce asked, getting close to Max, so he would not interrupt the person shouting out numbers.
Max smelled a mixture of his cologne and his spearmint gum on his breath, Max nodded none the less.
"Good, now stand." Pryce ordered.
Max looked at him, not in annoyed way or a gross way but in a confused way.
"I am standing." she said softly.
Pryce closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead with his hand in annoyance.
"In attention Max, stand in attention." Pryce replied.
"Oh, ok." Max said then hesitated and looked around helplessly.
She looked to her right and looked how the transgenic was standing and tried to mimic that stand. Pryce lowered his hand to his mouth, trying to hide his smile. Max heard Pryce sigh.
Pryce walked behind Max and pulled her shoulders back more, he then moved in front of her and placed his index finger under her chin and raised her head up a little more. Pryce looked down and then kicked the side of her leg, hinting her to put them together. Pryce then walked back behind her and pulled her hands apart and let them fall down to her sides. Pryce circled her, making sure she was doing everything right. Pryce then walked back in front of her.
"There that is how you stand, memorize it and tighten up." Pryce ordered then walked away to the front of the field.
Max continued to stand there and was about daydreaming when suddenly she heard no one shouting numbers anymore. She saw the man with the book, the one taking roll, walk off the field and towards the Manticore building. {Great now what's up?} Max thought to herself as her eyes darted from left to right, trying to find a clue to what they were doing.
She then spotted Pryce walking back and forth with a silver whistle between his lips, he wasn't blowing it or holding it with his teeth, just his lips, the string around his neck. She remembered what they were doing now.
A loud ear shattering sound came from the whistle as suddenly every single transgenic took the first frightening stand, including Max, yelling as they dud. She HATED doing this. Pryce blew the whistle again, and as a result every transgenic changed to a different stand, including Max. Pryce walked up and down the rows of transgenics blowing the whistle very quickly, observing all.
Pryce then approached Max, blowing the whistle again. All transgenics had their left arm extended out and their right arm in a fist in front of their face. Pryce rolled his eyes annoyingly and grabbed Max's fist of her extended hand and turned it in the correct position. Pryce then continued walking and blowing the whistle.
After doing a half hour's worth of those and seeing a couple of transgenics get the crap beat out of them by Pryce Max was starting to get a little tired, she wasn't used to doing this for this long of time.
"SOLIDERS! DOWN! ON THE GROUND!" Pryce shouted.
Max watched all the transgenics drop to the grounds on their stomachs until she was the only one standing. She looked at Pryce who still hand his whistle in his mouth, he pointed down at the ground giving a face of warning, telling her not to make him come to her and beat her down to the ground. Max then moved to the ground, laying on her stomach. "PUSH UPS! NOW!" Pryce hollered blowing the whistle. All transgenics then went up and down, shouting "Hooa." on the way down. Max missed the first one but was able to join in on the 2nd time and maintain the pace of Pryce's whistle blowing.
Max didn't know how much time had gone by, 2-3 hours she estimated and to tell the God honest truth, she felt like she was going to DIE. Her arms and stomach and leg muscles burned VERY badly, she never felt her body burn like this before. Max had to clench her teeth as she pushed herself up. Pryce continued walking down around examining each transgenic, when his eyes fell on Max.
He grinned as he let his whistle drop from his mouth as he saw Max struggling with every push up. He walked up to her then place his right boot in the middle of his back and put all his weight on it. The surprise about sent Max crashing to the ground, but she caught herself.
"PUSH THROUGH, PUSH THROUGH!! Don't you DARE let you chest touch that ground Max!" Pryce barked in her ear.
Max tried to push up but the enormous amount of weight Pryce was placing on her was making it so she couldn't. She probably could if she hadn't been so tired but that was not on her side.
"I GAVE YOU AN ORDER SOLIDER! PUSH THROUGH!!!" Pryce shouted louder.
Max tried as hard as she could but then her arms gave out on her and she dropped hardly to the ground. Pryce shook his head sadly and his face showed anger.
"Get up Max." Pryce warned.
Max shot up only to be backhanded and falling back down to the ground. Max exhaled deeply blocking out the pain.
Suddenly a loud bell sounded.
"Ok, you all know where you go, warm up time is over, we'll be working on hardcore fighting at 5 this evening! Get out of me site!" Pryce shouted yanking Max up.
"Now you, come with me." Pryce growled dragging her across the field.
