Haha, I changed my mind about what to do with this book. Don't worry, you'll see "in due time." Teehee, lol. So here's chapter 34, R&R and enjoy!

34
Oh. My. God. "It can't be…you can't really…no…" My voice was stuttering and I had to gasp for air to keep from passing out. Fang was still holding the pocketknife over Dr. Martinez's head, keeping it steady in case something went wrong. Unfortunately, I reminded myself that everything had gone wrong. "You're not my mother. You can't be, you just can't be!" I was screaming, pounding at my temples, trying to wake myself up from this horrible nightmare, but nothing happened except I immediately got a headache. "You're not my mother, you're not, you're not! No!"
I sank to the floor, clutching my shoulders, trying to find some form of comfort. Could it really be that after all this time, after all my years of searching, all my years of wondering, that my mother was really the head of the white coats I had hated for so long? I wouldn't accept it, it just couldn't be true. But the more I thought about it, the more it began coming together, and it clenched my stomach into knots.
Finally, everything made sense. This was why I had no records of my parents like the rest of the flock. This was why I always got a sense of motherly love from Dr. Martinez. But now I realized that it had never been love, it was merely curiosity at how much her specimen had grown over the years. I was not a daughter to her, even if by blood. I wouldn't have anything to do with her anymore.
I picked myself up, hatred flooding my eyes, and stepped back slowly, keeping my gaze locked on Dr. Martinez. She was lying on the floor under Fang's weapon, a wry smile filling her face. I reached out and grabbed the chair, which Ella was still tied to, and began unwrapping the tape that trapped her. Then I said something that I thought I would never regret saying. I looked at Fang and emotionlessly stated, "Kill her."
Immediately Fang turned and looked at me, hints of fear and confusion filling his expression. I could feel the rest of the flock's gazes locked on me from behind, but I didn't care. "You don't really mean that, do you?" Fang asked, and I could see he was worried about me. They all thought I was losing my mind. Hell, at that point I didn't care if I was losing my mind.
My face was blank, as was my mind. I didn't know what I was doing, and suddenly I felt a wave of heat lock my legs and bring me to my knees. I could hear words, screams, and other mixed sounds, but none of it made any sense. Suddenly I was stumbling to stand back up, and I barely saw Dr. Martinez's hands come towards my face. What had happened? It didn't make any sense, and slowly I became lost in a blackness that I was sure I would never awaken from.
You were my first daughter, Alissa, and you'll accept that fact in due time. Just give it time…give it time…
