Prisoner- Chapter 69

We were put in a room together, all of us, except Fang. He was taken somewhere else and I didn't even know whether he was alive or not and every second that ticked by killed me slowly inside.

My throat felt like it was caving in and for a moment I thought I had lost all capability to breathe. My stomach felt like it was eating itself and I didn't know if that was because I hadn't eaten or the fact that Fang could be dead. I was pretty sure I might vomit if I had to wait on news about Fang any longer. Tears flowed freely down my rosy cheeks and into my hands that shielded my face from the rest of the flock and muffled my sobs.

I sat with my back against the wall, knees pulled to my chest. My head laid on them, my hands acting as a single barrier, keeping the tears from hitting my pants.

I could hear the flock talking, but I didn't take time to process their words. They were probably talking about Fang or a way to get out of here. I felt terrible here I was the leader of the flock, crying her eyes out when I should be trying to find a way out of here.

"It's okay, Max." Angel said obviously reading my mind.

"No it's not sweetie." I said looking up at her and shaking my head.

I could see all of them turn and look at me with confusion.

"I should be trying to find a way out of here, to Fang."

I looked around the room we were in. It was like the ones at Itex only the door wasn't glass. Okay, so they learned that glass easy way out.

"Dang it!" I yelled kicking the metal door.

"Let us out of here!" I said pounding on the door with my hands.

"Max." Iggy said walking behind me.

I ignored him.

"Jeb! If you can here me, you better hope Fang is still alive!"

"Max." He said again, placing his hand on my back.

I turned to him feeling so pathetic and helpless.

"It's going to be okay."

"You don't know that." I said shaking my head. "None of us do, because those freaks won't tell us anything!"

I turned back to the door.

"I got to find a way out of here." I mumbled more to myself than anyone else.

The door opened right in front of me and there stood Jeb.

He walked in with a group of erasers, the door closed behind them.

"Where's Fang?" I asked weakly.

I needed to pull myself together and be strong.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news, Max." He said massaging the bridge of his nose.

I felt my eyes widen and my breath hitch.

The flock walked to stand behind me, Iggy stood on my side. We were all silent and stared at Jeb waiting for him to continue.

"I really wish I was coming with better news, Max." He began. "I want you to know you can trust me again and we could get along again. That's what I more than anything. You're so special and have…"

"Just tell me if Fang is alive!" I yelled.

He was silent for a few seconds then looked me straight in the eyes.

"Fang's dead, Maximum."

I was frozen, shocked. I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out.

Jeb walked out of the room with his group of erasers, all smiling their evil smiles.

The room was silent, no one moved.

Finally I could feel again and moved over to the wall, put my back to it, and slid 'til I reached the ground. Angel walked over to me and climbed into my lap. I hugged her to me as she cried. I numbly stroked her blond hair with my shaky hand.

I heard Gazzy gasp, but kept my eyes fixed on the door.

"What's wrong, Gazzer?" Iggy asked concerned.

"I just had another vision."

I turned to look at him.

"Fang's alive."
