Prisoner- Chapter 83

Maximum.

My eyes shot open at the sound of my name.

I surveyed my surroundings. The room was masked with darkness making things hard to see. I blinked to focus my eyes, making the room a little clearer. There was no one in the room except for Fang and I.

Yes, Fang slept in my room again, and I liked it better this way. It was easier to fall asleep with Fang's arm around me and my head on his chest. I would fall asleep to his steady breathing and the thumps of his heart beat. It was comforting.

Maximum.

I looked up at Fang to see if he was awake, but he was still sleeping. That meant that my voice decided to chime in again.

'What do you want?' I asked grumpily.

It's time for you to get serious.

'Leave me alone.' I ordered closing my eyes and laying my head on Fang's chest again.

Maximum, time is running out.

'I don't care.'

You have to care.

'I don't have to do anything.' I thought back.

You must save the world.

'I know.' I said rolling my eyes while they were still closed. 'I've heard that thousands of times before.'

This is urgent, Maximum.

'It better be urgent if you woke me up in the middle of one of my few goodnights rest.' I thought bitterly, opening my eyes.

It is time to focus on your task, ignore all distractions.

'Distractions?' I questioned.

The flock, this new relationship with Fang.

'The flock and my relationship with Fang are not distractions.'

Maximum, you have made them your top priority.

'Of course I have.' I thought. 'They're my family.'

I felt my head start to pound with pain.

I lifted my head from Fang's chest and removed his arm from its place around my waist. I watched his face carefully to make sure I didn't wake him in the process. I managed to off my bed without waking him up and made my way to the bathroom.

Maximum, where are you going?

'Bathroom.' I stated. 'I don't want to wake Fang.'

I walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind me, making sure to lock it.

'Ok, talk now or forever hold your peace.'

It's time to focus.

'Any suggestions?' I thought sarcastically.

Leave now.

"You were the one who told me to come here." I spoke aloud.

It was for your safety, but now the danger has gone back to the school. You're free to leave.

"The flock isn't ready to leave." I argued in a whisper.

It doesn't matter what the flock wants.

"Yes it does." I said furrowing my brow.

No, Maximum, saving the world comes before everything. It is what you were made for.

"I don't care what you say, my flock is always first priority to me."

That's not acceptable.

"Just leave me alone."

Maximum.

"Leave me alone!" I yelled, laying my hands on the sink and clasping onto it.

I looked up in the mirror at my reflection. I noticed my cheeks were painted red from anger and my eyes showed flames of fury burning in them.

"I have to make this stop." I said to my reflection that was staring back at me with a face showing all the stress I felt upon me in that one look.

I opened the bathroom door and walked into the kitchen, grabbing a knife from the drawer. It was small and thin, with a smooth blade that looked shark enough to pierce my skin with the smallest amount of pressure applied.

I walked back toward the bathroom, but upon passing my room I looked through the open door, Fang was still sleeping peacefully in my bed. His face was turned toward me, he looked calm like he did when he was awake. Expressionless. He still lye just how I left him, Fang didn't move in his sleep. He slept like a statue.

I tore my gaze from Fang to look at the knife in my hand. I had left the bathroom light on and the beam of light shone on the blade making it glint in the darkness.

Fang would hate me for breaking my promise to him, but the chip had to go.

AN: Hope you liked it! Next chappy is quite intense.
