Prisoner- Chapter 94

"How long?" Fang asked looking down at Max's unconscious form.

"Fourteen hours." Iggy said moving over to stand next to Fang. "Has she showed any signs of waking?"

"No." Fang said shaking his head slightly.

"But she always wakes up after these things… so she'll be alright." Iggy reasoned.

"I hope you're right, Ig."

"Of course I am." Iggy said waving him off with a sad smile.

"I don't know… something doesn't feel right." Fang said furrowing his brow.

"What?" Iggy questioned.

"I don't know." Fang said honestly.

Iggy turned his sightless eyes to Max. She was lying on the bed with a steady heartbeat and breathing pattern. The only problem was she wouldn't wake up.

"Should we tell the others?" Iggy asked suddenly. "They've been curious as to why they can't come in her and why they haven't seen you or Max in hours."

"Max wouldn't want them to know." Fang replied keeping his eyes on her.

"Right." Iggy said with a nod.

A almost silent whimper came from Max making Iggy and Fang turn their attention to her.

"Did you hear that?" Fang asked with a hint of hope in his voice.

"Yes." Iggy said nodding.

Fang didn't waste any time.

"Max." Fang said almost shouting.

She winced and sucked in short breaths.

"Max, I need you to open your eyes." He said turning her face toward him.

MAX P.O.V.

I brought my hand to my head.

"Fang?" I questioned.

"Yeah, and Iggy's here too." He said keeping a hand on my cheek. "How do you feel?"

I sucked in a smooth breath then reluctantly opened my eyes.

"Like I was hit in the head with a sledge hammer." I said closing my eyes again. "How long was I out?"

"Fourteen hours." Iggy said with a sad face.

"What?" I asked as my eyes shot open.

I tried to lift my head, but was met with a wave of pain running through it. A whimper passed my lips as I clasped my hands onto my head. I sounded pathetic, but I was in way too much pain to care right now.

"Max?" Iggy questioned with concern.

"My head is still killing me." I explained in a weak tone.

"This one was different than the others." Fang said looking into my eyes.

"Yes." I confirmed. "The voice did it to punish me."

"For what?" Iggy asked obviously stunned.

"Giving in to distractions." I explained bitterly. "It wants me to leave the flock."

"That's not gonna happen." Fang said in a very serious tone.

"What if it gives me more headaches?" I questioned. "I don't think I can survive another one of those, they're much worse than the others."

"We'll figure something out." Fang said in a reassuring tone.

"Promise?" I asked closing my eyes once again.

"Yeah." Fang said leaning down and kissing my forehead.

"Ugh, get a room." Iggy said acting disgusted and heading for the door.

"We have one." Fang said with a smirk. "You're in it."

"And now I'm out of it." Iggy said closing the door behind him as he left.

Fang looked down at me and for the first time I could clearly see the concern on his face like he wasn't even trying to hide it.

I gave him a weak smile and he took my hand in his.

"Everything is going to be okay." He said looking me in the eyes.

"I wish I could believe that." I said closing my eyes.

He gave my hand a gentle squeeze as I felt myself give in to the exhaustion and slowly fade into my dreams.
