Prisoner- Chapter 77

I made my way over to the couch, but didn't quite make it there. I was stopped by an all too familiar blinding explosion of pain erupted behind my eyes.

I collapsed to the ground and slapped my hands on my head, making sure my head stayed in one piece. I pressed my eyes shut as tears gushed out.

Wave after wave of pain crashed onto the back of my eyes. The pain was intensifying instead of easing way and I could hear myself whimpering in pain, sounding pathetic.

As another harsh pain exploded I felt someone kneel down next to me and gather me into strong, ropy arms. A worried voice was repeating my name over and over.

More tears slid down my cheeks and I felt like my face was on fire.

The pain began to slowly ebb away and I eased my hands away from my head. I was relieved to find out my skull was still in one piece. My eyelids felt like they were glued into a closed position, but I managed to open them for a split second to look up at Fang's worried face, they flock standing behind him looking stunned.

I tried to put on a weak smile, but instead felt my eyes close again. Worried voices called out to me, but they slowly faded from my hearing as everything went black and my body numb.

-RULER-

Fang scooped Max up into his arms and carried her over to the couch, laying her down gently. He sat on the edge of the couch and brushed her hair away from her face.

"Max." He said softly.

She didn't even stir.

"Is she going to be okay?" Angel asked looking at Max with wide eyes.

"Yeah, we just need to let her rest." Fang said getting up and walking into his bedroom.

Iggy listened to his footsteps and followed him in.

Fang turned and saw Iggy standing in the doorway.

"Fang, she hasn't had one of these in awhile." Iggy said looking worried.

"I know." He said nodding. "It's been awhile since I've heard her talking to the voice."

Iggy walked farther in the room and closed the door behind him.

"Do you think this is something else?" He asked looking at Fang with his sightless eyes.

"I don't think so." He said shaking his head. "She acted just like she did when she had those brain explosions, it's gotta be the same thing."

"What do you mean?" Iggy asked feeling kind of lost.

"She was clutching her head and tears were streaming down her cheeks." He explained.

Iggy nodded like he was thinking.

"When do you think she'll wake up?"

"I don't know." Fang said shaking his head slightly.

There was a knock on the door and Iggy opened it, revealing Nudge.

"What is it, Nudge?" Fang asked crossing his arms.

"Max is awake." She said with a bright smile.

She walked back to the couch with Iggy and Fang following close behind.

The Gasman walked over with a glass of water and handed it to Max.

She took it and drank it quickly.

"Are you okay, Max?" Nudge asked looking concerned.

"Yeah." Max said breathlessly. "I'm fine, Nudge."

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
