Wow, we're finally to the end. It is time to let Prisoner end. I've finished chapter 100 and it is quite sad. My first MR fic has come to an end. I want to thank all of you for reading and sticking with me. You guys made me want to write and I only regret that I haven't gotten time to post more chapters for you lately. Thanks for the support and compliments! You guys are awesome! Look for the sequel, Relapse. I hope you enjoy it.

Here is the final chapter of Prisoner:

Prisoner- Chapter 100

Previously on Prisoner:

"Max, we can perform the operation in an hour." Dr. Martinez said hanging up the phone.

I nodded against Fang then pulled away and looked over at her.

"The flock and Ella should stay here." I suggested.

"I agree." She concurred.

"Fang…" I began turning to him.

"I'm coming with you." He said sternly.

I didn't bother to argue. Truth is, I wanted him to be there.

The new and final chapter:

After sad goodbyes that I don't really want to think about again I was finally ready for my operation. The word sent chills down my spine.

I lye on a cold, shiny metal table with a sheet over it. I was in a hospital robe staring up at Fang, him staring back at me. His face showed immense worry, so unlike Fang.

"You'll take care of them, right?" I asked him suddenly.

"You will." He said in a monotone voice.

"But if I…" I swallowed. "Don't make it."

"You will." He said avoiding my eyes.

"Fang, there's always a chance that something could go wrong."

"No, you'll be fine." He said surely.

"You don't know that." I argued. "I just want you to promise me that you'll take care of the flock for me, if I can't."

"Why are you acting like you're gonna die?" He asked sounding angry. "You need to focus on getting through this."

"Just promise me." I said avoiding his comment.

"I'll always look after the flock." He assured. "And you."

"Max, are you ready?" Dr. Martinez asked walking in.

I nodded feeling my stomach clench.

"Alright." She said placing some kind of mask over my face. It tasted and smelled of strawberry.

I lifted it from my face to say one last thing to Fang and he looked at me questioningly. I mumbled 'I love you' then drifted off.

FANG'S P.O.V.

"I love you." She mumbled just before her eyes closed.

My heart swelled then clenched in those few seconds. Max had said she loved me, but I could lose her after this surgery.

"Love you too." I whispered then placed a kiss on her forehead.

Dr. Martinez smiled at me and I managed a weak one in return.

"I promise I'm going to do the best I can to help her." She assured.

"I know." I said looking down at Max.

"We're ready doctor." A young woman said walking in with an older man behind her.

"Alright, let's get started." Dr. Martinez said with a short exhale.

"Scalpel." She said extending her hand.

The woman placed the shiny thin blade into her hand. I watched as she pressed the blade to Max's arm and cut a small line through the skin. Blood oozed from the cut only to immediately be sucked through a tube the older man was holding.

"Liz, can you gently pull back these veins?" Dr. Martinez asked seeming a bit frustrated.

"Yeah." The young woman said looking nervous.

Dr. Martinez must have picked up on it, because her head shot up to look at her.

"Don't worry, it is very simple." She assured. "Just put your finger against those two veins, so you're barely touching them."

"Okay." She said putting her finger into the cut as instructed.

Dr. Martinez looked pleased.

She turned her attention back to the cut and immediately her face seemed to show disappointment. I could feel my heart start to pound through my chest.

"What's wrong?" I asked trying to see what the problem was.

"It looks like I may have to cut through her muscle."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning she would lose the use of her arm." She explained sadly. "I knew it was a possibility, but I was hoping there would be another way."

"Are you sure there's not?" I pressed.

"I'm not sure." She said studying the cut. "If I could figure out where the chip is exactly then I would know for sure."

She kept studying the wound until finally her eyebrows furrowed.

"What is it?" I asked hopefully.

"I think I see it." She said narrowing her eyes. "There it is."

A smiled formed on her lips and I felt myself let out a breath I wasn't aware I'd been holding. A smile formed on my lips as she gave me a hopeful glance.

"I may not have to cut the muscle after all." Her smile grew brighter.

I felt relief wash over me.

"Liz, hand me the forceps." She instructed.

The young woman grabbed the forceps and placed them in Dr. Martine's bloody glove. Just thinking about that being Max's blood made me sick.

"Alright, I'm gonna try to pull the chip out." She said looking up at me.

I gave a small nod then ran my hand through my hair.

She looked back down at Max's arm and clasped the forceps on what I assumed was the chip. I could see her struggle to pull the chip out then relax again.

"It's stuck to the bone." She said shaking her head slightly.

She tried again coming out successful as the chip jerked out of its set position.

"There it is." Dr. Martinez said inspecting it before placing it in a small metal bowl.

I didn't have much time to celebrate… the monitor reading Max's vitals began to go haywire.

"What's going on?" I shouted feeling panic overtake me.

"I'm not sure." Dr. Martinez said wearing the same look of panic.

"Liz, are the veins still intact?" She asked.

"Yes, they're completely unharmed." Liz said looking baffled.

"Then what is happening?" The man asked.

Dr. Martinez shook her head and continued to stare into the incision. Then her head turned to look at the monitor.

"Her vitals are going back to normal." She announced.

"What was that?" Liz asked.

"I honestly have no idea." She said.

"But she's okay?" I questioned.

"Yes."

I gave a nod then closed my eyes for a few seconds, feeling my muscles relax.

"Jon, could you sew the incision closed?" Dr. Martinez asked the man.

He nodded as she walked over to me and motioned for me to follow her out of the room. I gave her an unsure look, glancing at the man and the woman.

"You can trust them." She assured.

I still wasn't sure, but I followed her out into the waiting room.

"Fang, I want you to prepare yourself for any outcome." She said looking very serious.

"I thought everything was fine." I stated confused.

"Well, it should be, but sometimes things you can't explain happen out of the blue… so just don't celebrate until Max wakes up." She explained keeping eye contact with me.

I gave a sad nod then walked back into the room with Dr. Martinez behind me.

"I'm just finishing up." The man said to me with a smile.

I didn't respond. I simply walked next to Max and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

I noticed the man walk from the room along with Dr. Martinez and Liz. When I turned my attention back to Max, her eyes were fluttering open.

"Fang?" She questioned.

"It's me." I assured. "How you feeling?"

"My arm hurts." She said struggling to keep her eyes open.

"It will probably hurt for a few days." I said honestly.

She rolled her eyes.

"Just be happy you can feel your arm." I said with a small smile. "Can you move it?"

She looked over at her arm then I caught the subtle twitch of her fingers.

"That answer your question?" She asked smugly.

I smirked.

"So it's out?" She asked catching me off guard.

"Yeah, it's out." I said with a nod.

I just hoped that removing the chip wasn't a bad thing. Her vitals going crazy like that had me worried. I had never considered the chip was a positive thing.

"What is it?" Max asked me.

"Nothing." I said shaking the thoughts away.

"Fang." She said sounding annoyed.

"Everything is fine." I reassured.

"No it isn't." She said stubbornly. "What's bothering you?"

I didn't want to tell her, but she did have a right to know. And if I didn't tell her someone else might. She should hear it from me, no one else.

"When Dr. Martinez removed the chip your vitals went crazy."

"What?" She asked eyes wide with shock.

I didn't repeat it. I knew she'd heard me just fine.

"Wh… why would that ha… happen?" She said furrowing her brow.

"That's what I was wondering." I said looking into her eyes.

"You think I shouldn't have gotten it removed?" She asked as worry became painted onto the soft beautiful features upon her face.

"I don't know." I said gently touching her cheek. "But I think you did the right thing."

"Then I think I did too." She said as a smile formed upon her lips.

I leaned down and touched my lips to hers.

"Not again." Gazzy groaned walking into the room behind Iggy.

I pulled away from Max to look at the flock.

"You two need to find a new hobby." Iggy said shaking his head and laughing.

"How are you feeling Max?" Nudge asked walking over to her with Angel close behind holding Total.

"I'm fine." Max said letting her eyes close for a few seconds then open them again.

"We should get you back to the house to rest." I said looking down at her.

She nodded.

"Alright guys go tell Dr. Martinez we're ready to go." I said turning to them.

They all nodded then walked out of the room.

"Time to go, Max." I looked at her and saw her eyes were closed.

"Mhm." She mumbled struggling to open her eyes.

"Rest." I whispered in her ear before picking her up from the metal table and walking out of the room to return back to a safe environment.

I was sure now that everything would be okay.

AN: And here's the end! ALL DONE! Look for 'Relapse' which I already said was the sequel. Hope you liked it! And once again I thank all of you who reviewed! You guys are awesome!
