Chapter 14 - New Things
Unit 7 was out from the showers and heading toward a main building in which they will have their next lesson in tactics. This lesson was in the second classroom in the building. Unit 7 entered it and they were now finding their seats.
David, as the CO had to be on the first row, but right now he would really prefer to be at the end of the room, just trying to figure out what to do next.
Ben, as SIC should be sitting next to David, but since he preferred the back-he took it, and the teacher didn't really mind, that was why Ben never understood why David sat at front always, when he could sit where he wants.
"Come on Dave! Why won't you sit at the back for once? It much more fun" said Ben and smirking when thinking about all the things he does at the back then listening.
"I'm the CO! I have my responsibility! You should sit here too!" David replied looking at Ben straight in the eye
"You know that ain't gonna happen, so why even ask? But still, remember you'll always have a save seat at the back!" said Ben and with that he left David and walked toward the back row, sitting next to Jet on one side, and Liz on the other.
When Liz saw Ben approaching she asked, "So? What did he say?"
"He isn't coming. Sometimes he's just to straight… we have to loosen him up somehow!" said Ben with a glint in the eyes
"Oh-oh" said Jet "I know that look. What are you thinking of?" he asked not sure if to be worried or not
"Oh come on! Don't be so worried! My ides aren't that bad!" said Ben
"Riiight" said Jet
When he got that response from jet he turned to Liz
"Don't look at me!" she said
"You think my plans are lame too?" he asked a bit depressed
"Its not that they're lame… it's just that you have good ideas, you just don't know what to do with it and then ruin it all" she said trying to make it sound not so bad
"Well, I guess that's why Dave here is the Co and I'm just SIC…" he said glumly
"Don't be like that!" said Liz
"Like what?" he asked
"All sad and disappointed! You're a great SIC!" she said honestly
"Thanks" he said when he saw she really meant it "I really appreciate that"
"Just telling the truth" she said and smiled
They both looked into each others eyes, and they just couldn't look away. Ben with his piercing green eyes locked his sight in Liz's blue-green eyes, which were bluer because of the light. Only when they heard a sound did they move their eyes to see what the cause of noise was.
"Guys!" Jet was almost yelling, when he saw that he got their attention he continued "thank god1 I was calling for the hundredth time!"
"What's wrong?" Ben asked concerned
"Nothing, just look at that!" he said giggling and pointed over to the front row.
"No way!" Liz said shocked
"Thank god!" said Ben laughing. The sight in the front row was delightful.
While they were talking, Jess decided to go talk with David or they will never find time. Besides the teacher is always late. So she walked towards him and sat next to him. David was surprised at first, she didn't usually sit at front, and he didn't expect her to come because of what happened between them. He was surprised, but he couldn't say he wasn't happy. Her coming to sit next to him meant she did felt something to him, and that was good news.
"Hey" He said softly
"Hey you" she replied
'That's weird, what's that smell? Its smelly here but-' he thought but was cut in his thoughts when Jess kissed him.
It was a light kiss, and when Jess broke the kiss she looked confused. David looked at her with happy and concern on his face.
"Jess, does that mean that… that..." he started to say
"That I what?" she looked really confused
"Are you o.k.?" David asked looking at her
"Yeah, never better!" she replied "how sweet of you to ask!" and now she practically jumped on him and kissed him.
David was shocked. One second she looked like she didn't know where she is, and the second she's kissing him, not that he complained, but this was strange.
"Wait, wait" he said, trying to talk to her between kisses
"Yeah?" she asked and stopped the kisses looking in his eyes
"Are you sure you're o.k.?"
"Yeah… I mean, it is kinda hot in here, but I guess it really is a hot day. Not as hot as you of course!" she said and resumed her kissing
At this point everyone was looking at them. David didn't know what do to. Not to mention the teacher was going to arrive soon.
"Jess, what are you doing?" he asked and didn't let her continue with her kissing until she answered
"What do you think I'm doing silly?" she said in a cute voice
"Silly? What has happen…?" He began, but when he looked in her eyes, he saw that something was different. They way she looked at him. She was… she was…
"Oh man! You're in heat!" he said now understanding everything
"In what?" she asked not understanding what he wants from her. Although she knew exactly what she wanted from him…
"Heat! It's when you have the urge to... to… to do what you're doing now! The teachers told us this is the year it should start…" he said and tried to get her off of him. She was sitting on his lap.
"Oh… so why don't we fulfill that urge?" she said mischievously and resumed her kissing. This time the kiss even deeper then before. With that kiss David felt a swill of hormones over power him and kissed her back. They now couldn't be separate.
"Hey guys, guys...guys!" Ben shouted the last one, trying to get their attention. "The teacher is about to come, so why don't you-" he began but when Jess looked at him with that look of desire he switched-"I think you had enough of David, maybe you want some of this?" he asked suggestively
"Hey!" David said angrily and got up in front of Jess so he was now between Jess and Ben. "She's mine!"
"Oh come on boys, no need to fight" Jess said but was delighted from the action taking place, and all for her.
"Not any more" Ben said and two more males of their unit came aside Ben
"Yeah, she's not yours!" one of them said
"Let her pick who she wants!" said another male
A circle was forming around Jess and David. And he didn't know what to do. He couldn't let them have her!
On the other hand, the females of the unit didn't know what was going on. A heat encounter never happened before, but they did smell the hormones. And a boy's fight could never be a good thing. Liz as the third in chain of command took control
"Kelly, you go get someone to help, this isn't going to be good"
"I'm on it!" Kelly said and blurred out of the classroom.
"All the others, we're going to have to separate this before it gets ugly." She said and they all walked toward the even tighter circle. Liz hoped this wont cause to much damage.
"Hey guys, come on! Break it up!" Liz said annoyed of the situation. She managed to get in the circle and walked to Jess
"Jess, come on it's not funny" Liz told her
"I know its better!" Jess replied and was anxious for the fight over her
"No its not! Come on, you got to get out of here!"
"But I don't want to! And you can't make me!"
"Yeah I can!" Liz was getting really angry from the whole situation
"Whatever" Jess said and resumed her kissing with David
Liz was shocked from Jess's behavior. But her worry now was the group of male X6s that was about to bash David. She tried to protect him, them, and singled the girls to help. At that point a big fight began. Males v. Females. While David and Jess were kissing.
Everyone were paired off, there were even some males fighting with each other.
Liz was fighting with Ben since he was the closest one to David and Jess.
"Ben! Come on! Stop!" she said, and he stopped for a second but then walked towards her.
"Thank god you got your sense back-" she began but then he punched her out of her way. "What the heck!" she shouted and kicked him. They were now fighting. Blocking each others moves, when finally Ben managed to kick her down. But she got a hold of his leg and he fell on her. She then switched position so she was on the top.
"What's wrong with you? All of you?" she asked him. Not sure if she really wants to know
"You're right" he said
"Thank god that punch really hurt" she said
"Why are we after her? You are much better!" he said. Liz was just too shocked to response, not that it matter because a second later she and Ben were kissing.
It was at that point that Kelly entered the room with their teacher and some guards behind him. When Kelly walked in the room, she was speechless. It was chaos. Some were fighting, other kissing…
"What happened here?" she asked no one in particular
"I'm guessing that someone is in heat" said the teacher
"In heat?" Kelly asked him confused
"Didn't they tell you? Well, I guess its time for now." Said the teacher and told the guards to splash everyone in water.
They all got wet and stop fighting. At least most of them. Jess and David were still kissing, and Ben and Liz were getting up from the floor, too embarrassed to look at each other.
"Take her to isolation." The teacher told the guards pointing at Jess. When they approached her, and David noticed that, he broke the kiss and stood in front of the guards so they won't take her. "687 move!" one of the guards told him
"No!" he said, now backing up with Jess behind him
"Don't take her!" some other males of the unit said.
Them some more guards came through the door. They told David to move, but he didn't, so they threatened him with teasers. He still didn't move. When Jess saw that the guards were going to use the teasers she surrendered herself. She didn't want David to get hurt-teasers and water wasn't a good combination.
David and all the males, except Ben, watched as Jess was taken to isolation. When she was out of the room suddenly all the males didn't understand what just happened, they all looked confused.
With that look on their faces the teacher decided to teach them something else in today's lesson. "Everyone. Clean up this mess" the teacher said regarding the thrown tables and chairs "and I'll explain to you what just happened"
"Yes sir!" they all replied and started to arrange the room. They were happy to understand what happened to them. When the classroom was arranged and they were all seated the teacher began speaking.
"As you see, something unusual accord today" the teacher stopped to see their expressions. Most of them nodded. "Well, you see. At a certain time in life the female has what is called Heat…"
Some of the Xs looked at each other in surprise, some sorry for what they have done to their friends. But what was sure, that lesson could not be called boring! And with that thought they all listened to what is it exactly heat.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Max was lying in her cell. A lot has run through her head since the guard had left. Especially what was up with that guard, and how can she possibly make Alec better. She was in total lost, and she had no idea what to do. If only she had her family with her to help her. She really missed them all. It has been over half a tear since they blow the DNA lab and was considered dead. Well, that was true only until Zack died for her sake. She didn't realize it, but a tear managed to slip her watery eyes, the subject was just too painful to think about. She remembered her talk with Renfro, she told her she was poison, and Max was beginning to believe that maybe she really was poison. 'Look where I am, look where anyone who cares or try to help is. Zack's dead, Alec's here suffering, even Logan was caught in the crossfire and ended up in a wheelchair. Poor Logan, he must think I'm dead. In a way I am dead, Manticore isn't really a vivid place. I just hope I'll find a way to get out of here, and soon!' Max was determined to fulfill her wish, but before that she'll have to get out of here, this crappy isolation cell. She was getting worried about Alec though, he's been like this for a few hours now, and she wasn't sure how much more he could take, she assumed he'll wake up soon, and she wanted to be ready for him, to make him feel better, if that's possible in this place.
A few cells next to her was Alec. He was in the middle of a really bad dream, a dream that kept going on and on in his subconscious. He didn't want to dream that dream, and soon he was about to wake up, and understand, that not all of it was a dream…
Alec woke up so suddenly he was a bit shaken. He woke up with the intake of his breathe and he felt the pain rush through his body because of the sudden movement. He was breathing low and heavy breathes and was cover with cold sweat. He felt vulnerable and hoped Max won't be in her usually 'chit-chat' mode she has recently. He knew though, that he shouldn't make ant high expectations out of that thought. .
And he was right because the moment he woke up Max noticed it, because the change in his breathing and the sudden silent. And she was eager to understand a few things about her breeding partner a few cells a head.
