Prisoner- Chapter 12

"Who did you call?" I repeated, my voice harsh and my eyes narrowed.

"Hello Max." A familiar voice said from the doorway of the room.

My head snapped to look at the person who was talking. My fears were confirmed, she was actually here. Yes, I'm talking about Anne.

"What are you doing here?" I shouted jumping out of my seat.

"They called me." Anne said crossing her arms. "Now if you would lower your voice. Ariel is trying to sleep."

"Come with me." I said storming out of the room, practically growling the words at her. When we were in the hallway my attack began.

"How dare you come here?" I shouted. "You lied to us and kept things from us."

"You wouldn't have given me a chance if I told you the truth." She said in furrowing her eyebrows and shaking her head. "Who am I kidding? You never gave me a chance anyway."

"Don't even try to make me look like the bad guy!" I said pointing my finger at her. "You're the one working with the enemy!"

"Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but..." She started.

I interrupted quickly, "But nothing, you don't get another chance! You should have never gotten one in the first place." I started to walk away to Angel's room.

"Maybe you should take a vote. The others loved staying with me." She said looking like she was going to cry.

"Don't make me bring them in this." I said shaking my head and lowering my voice. "I was nice enough not to tell them that you were a fake, but I won't hesitate in doing so now."

"Max?" Fang said from the doorway of the waiting room. "Who are you talking to?"

"Hello Nick." Anne said walking into view.

"What's going on?" Fang asked walking next to me.

"The hospital called her." I said staring at her. "She wants another chance."

"Nick, I know I should have told you I was Jeb's boss, but I knew you wouldn't have given me a chance to take care of you." She started to explain, but then saw Fang look at me confused. "Max didn't tell you?"

"No." He said staring at me. If looks could kill, I'd be dead. I gave him a look that said 'I'll explain later' and in return he gave me one that said 'you'd better'.

"Oh." Anne said surprised. "I just thought…"

"Never mind what you thought." I said rolling my eyes. "Just leave."

"Not without seeing the others." She said shaking her head.

"No way in hell." I spat, my words like venom.

"Too late." Anne said seeing Nudge, Gazzy and Iggy come into the hall.

Nudge came sprinting to Anne and threw her arms around her. Gazzy came over to me and I ruffled his hair. Iggy walked next to Fang looking confused. I heard him whisper something to Fang and then Fang said something back.

"Are we staying with you again, Anne?" Nudge asked looking up at her.

"No." I said firmly. "Anne just came by to make sure we were ok, right Anne?" I said giving her a look that said 'you better agree'.

"Yes," She said looking a little hurt. "The hospital called and I just needed to make sure all of you were doing ok, so I stopped by."

"And she was just getting ready to leave too." I said trying to sound calm. "Nice of you to stop by."

"Actually, I was hoping to see Ariel before I left." She said. She was pushing her luck and I was furious.

"She's sleeping." I said crossing my arms across my chest.

"Five minutes." She promised. "And I won't wake her. I'll stand in the doorway."

Nudge and Gazzy were looking at me expectantly. I couldn't break the news about Anne to them, especially not right now.

"Alright." I said closing my eyes. "Five minutes."

AN: Hope you liked it! Five reviews and you get the next chappy!
