Prisoner- Chapter 68

"You're losing your touch, Max." Ari growled as he stepped closer to me. "This was almost too easy."

"Well, if you want you could leave and come back another time." I said motioning to the door. "Of course I can't promise we'd be here when you came back."

He stopped right in front of me and I saw Fang begin to walk over to the two of us. I gave him a look that said 'don't even think about it'.

"What do you want, Ari?" I asked crossing my arms.

"I have orders to bring you back to the school, all of you."

"If you are expecting us to go willingly you got another thing coming." I said letting my arms fall to my sides and into fists.

"That would take all the fun out of it." He said with a sickening smile.

He swung a hairy claw at me hitting me in the cheek. He brought me to my feet and shoved me through the doorway, so I collided with the ground in a large thud.

He began walking towards me, but was knocked from behind by Fang.

I rose to my feet and walked over to Ari and Fang. They were staring each other down. I placed a kick onto Ari's back and he turned around and took a swing at me. I ducked, but was grabbed by an eraser.

Fang hit Ari in the nose and I heard a satisfying crack as the blood poured out. Ari growled at Fang and threw a punch at him, Fang dodged.

I was still struggling with my eraser and finally stomped on its instep hard. It yelped then sent me a harsh look. It tried to put parallel scratches on my arm, but I moved out of its grip quite easily. Two more erasers came in toward me, so now I would have to fight three and worry about Fang dying all at the same time.

I tripped one of the erasers and punched another, which barely affected it at all. I saw a punch heading for my face and managed to dodge enough that the punch just missed my cheek. Another punch came, but this one was aimed at my stomach and hit its target with perfect targeting. I felt the air leave my lungs and immediately began wheezing.

"Poor little birdie." An eraser said as I collapsed on all fours and tried to fill my lungs with air.

"Max!" Fang yelled looking over at me gasping for air.

I looked up at him and sucked the air in then stood and prepared to fight again. I wasn't giving up. I had to keep Fang alive.

I placed a kick on one of the eraser's kneecap and it made a loud cracking sound. It yelped and fell to the ground in obvious pain.

I stole a quick glance at Fang still fighting with Ari and he seemed to be doing okay.

A punch was placed on my cheek and I was met with an explosion of pain in my jaw.

"Max!" Angel cried from the doorway.

She was being held by an eraser, Gazzy was being held by two, and Nudge and Iggy were both being held by three. All of them were struggling fiercely to free themselves from the grip of their large hairy captors, but was having no success.

I threw a kick at one of the eraser's chest and then the other's. Both were barely affected only taking a half step back. I was lucky enough to catch one off guard and blow his eardrums by smacking my hands against his ears, hard. He fell to the ground like a ton of bricks and I couldn't help but feeling accomplished.

Now I had one left, then I could help Fang.

I tripped the eraser, making him fall with his back to the ground. I jumped on it, driving my knees into its chest a few times. It wasn't getting up anytime soon.

I looked up at Fang still fighting Ari. I snuck up behind him and kicked the back of his knee making him almost fall. He turned quickly and grabbed me, shoving me at Fang.

Fang grabbed me and straightened me up.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah." I said breathlessly.

"Not for long." Ari said pulling a gun from his jacket.

Fang and I both froze, side by side.

"Hm…" He said looking at the two of us.

"Eeny." The gun pointed at Fang.

"Meeny." He turned the gun to me.

"Miny." Back to Fang.

He stopped with the gun on Fang still, like he was still debating who to shoot.

"Moe."

All the sudden the gun was on me and the trigger was being pulled. A loud crack was heard and Fang jumped on top of me, knocking me to the ground.

"How sweet." I heard Ari growl in a sarcastic tone.

I was under Fang, his chest to mine. I looked up at his face to see him going pale and looking like he was in a lot of pain.

"What is it?" I asked beginning to panic.

His eyes closed slowly and I swore my heart stopped. I rolled him off of me and looked him over. The bullet hit him in the stomach and he was bleeding quite a bit.

"No." I said in disbelief gently touching his wound.

I saw the blood on my hand and immediately lost control of myself.

"Fang!" I yelled tapping his cheek.

"Fang, wake up!" I was now shaking him.

Suddenly erasers came and ripped me away from Fang. They took us onto a helicopter, taking Fang too.

I didn't know if Fang was alive or not and if he was I would have to hope that he got medical treatment soon to stay alive.
