Chapter 7: The Runes
Max woke up the next day to find a pair of strong muscular arms wrapped around her. The owner of which, was still asleep. Max smiled. She snuggled closer to Alec and was about to go back to sleep when she saw her digital alarm clock.
"Shit it's seven already," Max swore and shot out of bed, disturbing her companion. She hastily rushed around her bedroom, grabbing her clothes and put them on hurriedly.
"What's wrong?" Alec asked rubbing his eyes and watching her move around like a crazed-rabbit.
"Normal's gonna kill me if I'm late again," Max said glancing at the small mirror beside her coffee table. Sunlight reflected upon it, as well as her hair, making it look slightly brown.
Alec simply laughed. "He won't fire you."
Max shot him a disbelieving look as she dropped to the floor looking for her shirt. "And why not? Just because we officially have a relationship doesn't mean he's not gonna fire me." she answered reaching under the bed and trying to pull the sleeve of her shirt which was way across the other side.
"He won't." Alec said confidently. "Normal practically-wait a second, Max, what's that?"
Max stood up from the floor, a triumphant look on her face as she held her shirt, brushing off the dust. She glanced at Alec and saw him staring intently at her back. It was the look he got whenever he was studying something "What's what?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
Alec got out of bed and went to her. He placed his hand on her back and ran it along her skin. "When did you get a tattoo?" he asked.
"I didn't."
"Then what the hell are these?" Alec asked taking the mirror on her coffee table and giving it to her. Max used it and was able to take a good look on her back.
"Whoa!" she exclaimed the minute she saw it. There were word-like signs on her back, the same color as her barcode, a pitch black. "Think Manticore has something to do with this?" she asked.
"No idea." Alec replied studying the figures closely. "There's some on your wrist too."
As much as she hated to say it, she knew she had to. "I think we'd better go see Logan." Max said quickly putting on her shirt and grabbing her jacket.
"Do you think that's a good idea?" Alec asked skeptically.
Max gave him a sheepish look. "Well, uhm, he uh already, uh sorta knows that were together."
Alec shot her a questioning look.
"You see, I told him that I'm seeing you coz' I needed to do it to push him away or else he's gonna get killed by the virus." Max said rapidly. For a second, something flashed behind Alec's eyes, something that faintly resembled anger.
But Alec did the last thing she had expected him to do.
He laughed.
'Damn him.'
