Chapter 3: Intolerable Heat
The night grew colder and colder, thunderclouds threatened to strike any minute as they hovered above, blanketing the pitch-black sky in its gray transparence. No moon or star decorated the sky that night, giving it an almost daunting appearance. The streets below were just as dim and empty, stretching continuously down the road. Many would not have dared to go out at such a dark night in fear of thievery, massacre, and abduction.
News of strange and mysterious disappearances had spread quickly through the city. Disappearances that even the police, and the CIA could not explain. So it wasn't surprising that the streets would be so empty at such an early hour in the night. Well, not exactly empty.
Max sped recklessly through the road, uncaring of the dangerous consequences that may occur. She had more pressing matters in her mind. She drove as fast as her motorcycle would carry her, relishing the blustery weather as it cooled her burning body. Even the thought of the incident that day burned like fire in her mind.
Heat had hit her that day, the very day that Alec decided to drop by. They of course had no control over it, for their hormones were too strong, as well as their DNA. Silently, she cursed Manticore for putting her in such a confusing situation. Why confusing? Because as much as she hated to admit it, she felt good and contented. It was the very first time that heat had left her satisfied.
IWhy?/I Max thought bitterly. She loved Logan, not Alec. IThen why did you tell Logan that you were seeing someone else?/I A voice taunted in her head. Usually her main reason would be I'to push him away'/I, but now, she wasn't so sure.
She recalled the last time she had been with Logan. That was when they had found a 24-hour cure for the virus. She shook her head at the thought. There was no love in it. IBut there was no love in your heat either, only lust./I But somehow she felt different during her heat; she enjoyed every minute of it. Her thoughts drifted off to Alec.
Alec. Max allowed herself a small smile. Strange as it may sound, for the past few months, she and Alec actually got along. Maybe it was because of the time when she told Alec about Ben. He had understood everything, what she went through, the mixed-up emotions she had felt. He understood because he had undergone the very same things when Rachel died.
Max stepped on the brakes just before she passed the broken-down rusty sign that said 'You are now leaving Seattle.' What the hell was she doing? Guess she was driving so fast, she didn't realize where she was going. More or less, what the hell was she thinking? Was she actually implying that she was falling for Alec?
Max turned around her ninja and started driving at a slower pace. IFalling for Alec./I The phrase sent a chill down her spine, yet managed to make her grin like an idiot. It was weird. The first time she met 'X5 494', she had sent him flying against the wall of her cell. Hell, she even told him to get out of her life forever, for ruining the only chance she had with Logan. Forget that he tried to kill her and Joshua. The situation between them had changed now. In fact, it had become better.
Or at least, she hoped so.
