First off, I want to thank any reviewers. I especially want to thank
Original proxy, I didn't think anyone would pick up on how much Alec is starting to hate his mask, I was scared at first I didn't think I could write something with that effect, well I proved myself wrong.
A/N. it's a work in progress and I am apologising before hand about my spelling or type eras. iv also notest that manny people have read this but not reviewd, pleas review even if it it just a like it, love it, hate it.
Standing outside crash I haven't said anything else to max since she brought me out here. Its nearly 10:30 on a Friday night and all that's going through my head is 'why is she still here, she's told me enough times already that I'm not worth it, so why bother with me' turning to see what's up with her I glance that look again and any thoughts of telling her to go slip my mined and I feel the sudden rush to tell her everything about my life, I just want someone to talk with, to shear my dreams and fears, my desires everything about me not 494 but me. She climes on her bike and nods to me. Still silent I clime on behind her and we're off.
Its been twenty minutes and were still driving, I instantly know were not going to my place, or hers for that matter, I didn't care to be honest I just needed to get away from here, I needed to be truly free. I think you realise this Maxie because fore sector passes and a supply stop later we pass a sign saying 'NOW LEAVING SEATTLE'. I smile lightly not enough to change my mood but enough to put a shadow of a thought in my head that, its going to be ok, talk to her tell her fight for her, and that alone was all I needed to give me the energy to go on.
Ten minutes later and we're still in silence, well we were till Maxie's pager starts going off. Slowly she grounds to a stop, looking at the pager then angrily throwing it using her transgenic strength.
"who.." I started to say the first thing in over an hour I mite add, but max put her fingers to my lips and said quietly
"doesn't matter, we need to talk and I got one hell of 'a' feeling that its gonna take some time, side's I wanna go some were." She shrugged and went on "We should find some were to stop for the night then set off agene in the morning." Nodding I decided to let It rest and crammed down all the questions forming in my head.
"max, I think we passed a diner with a B+B" turning my head back and looking in the down the dark road if it were anyone but a transgenic looking you could hardly see fore feet in front of you, but then I am transgenic. Frowning at the irony, being proud of something I cant stand, does that even make sense, properly not but then after tonight I think I have a right to be out of the ordinary. "bout half a mile back."
"now we're talking" she smiled, god max your so beautiful.
The room was shabby and beat up it was extremely small with two beds that looked like if you pushed them together you still would come out of it with a single bed. To heavy curtains hung in the half fallen frame. A small bathroom on one side and a portable TV was set up on a far corner. All in all it was a normal motel room just worse for wear. I sat next to max on one of the beds it creaked loudly as I sat down and it felt really unsteady. Max looked up at me her chocolate brown eyes burning with something, something I'm shore she has reserved for me, I don't think iv seen her look at anyone else like it, ahhh wistful thinking. Smiling a touch I nodded to her, no mask Alec just talk. It will bring you closer if not in the way you want than as a friend.
"what's wrong with you Alec, you seem so different so distant." At her words I could only imagine the pain that shot through my eyes as I remember, looking deep in to my soul.
"A lot Maxie, a dam lot is wrong with me" your wrong with me Maxie, your in my head, in my dreams, in my nightmares, in under my skin, your in me every were but my bed. Your not to know that though Maxie not yet anyway, not till my silent battle with Logan is over.
"tell me" in only two words you can get anything you want from me, so hear goes.
I say the one word that will make you understand, and you do I see it in your eyes the moment it leaves my lips. "Manticore." Now every thing is coming back to me and I tell you it all and by god there's a hell of a lot to say.
10:50am we're both sitting cross legged on the floor, and yet agene I'm crying but its not just me you are to Maxie, iv told you all of me and you returned the complement and told me all of you, but we are lathing to, are stories turn from sad times to good times, and I'm telling you about biggs and my time in isolation and you lath harder as I explain the idiotic things we did to stay amused. And at that exact moment something hits home,
'I only have to beat Logan, I'm already winning you'
A/n I know it was short, I have a good feeling on this at the moment, but I still need to ask, what do you want to happen. ( be warned what you say might not happen. Sorry.)
