A.N- Hey guys, I've been sick all week so I got like four chapters done instead of one. I'm not going to put them up all at once though, sorry about that, but I'll put one up every Tuesday:)
Madi- Alright I will, I already have Max, Fang and Dylan:)
dopeycookiemonster- I might have some things like that, but I promise not to go into too much detail and I'll warn in the A.N. up here if I do, do that in a chapter.
LOVE HATE DUH-Someone's excited… Hahah, just kidding. I love your enthusiasm, but I'm sorry to say that she won't find out until she gives birth. Just to keep everyone on edge;).
Rescue Mission- Part One
When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was that I was on a bed. Not the most comfortable one I've ever been in, but still good, considering all the places I've had to sleep in.
I sat up and saw I was in a room exactly like the one we'd been kept in when Hans had taken my flock about a week or so ago.
It had the same cream colored walls, the same rectangular shape, no windows, and one door. The only difference was the furniture. It was also cold, which I remember from the other room too.
Instead of looking like a waiting room, it looked like a bedroom. The bed was on the left corner of the room if you walked in the door. There was a medium-sized couch on the right of the door and a small TV on the right corner. The whole room was carpeted and the lights were turned off.
I got up slowly and looked at the door, hearing something from outside.
"Ah, you're awake." Hans says in a friendly manner. I wanted to spit on his face so bad right now… "I thought you'd be hungry, so I got you some food" he says, walking in the room. He was followed by one of the huge cyborg dudes, who carried a tray piled high with food.
My face remained impassive as I glanced at the tray that he set on the bed, and then gave Hans a death glare.
"Oh come on, Max! I could have just gotten everyone, including your flock, and ran tests on all of them. If you cooperate and don't try to kill anyone, I give you my word that I'll let you go" he says with that creepy face of his.
"Whatever." I mumble and look the food. My stomach grows and I start to wonder how long I was out.
"You can eat it you know" he says, seeing how I was looking at the food "it's not poisoned, trust me. I need you alive; I wouldn't poison your food."
I was honestly so hungry that I wouldn't have minded if it was actually poisoned. So I just dug in. I ate all of the chicken there was and realized that it was actually pretty good. I then stuffed what I'm guessing was chopped potatoes into my mouth and then proceeded to inhale everything else that was in that plate.
After about five minutes of me inhaling the food on the tray, another cyborg came in with another tray and I ate everything in that one too, just a bit slower this time.
As I ate I was also checking out the whole room and the outside when I got glances. I'm pretty sure that this room was in the same hallway as the last one. This one was closer to the end, A.K.A closer to the door out.
"Ok, Max" He starts, taking me out of my daydream of escape plans. "So as I told you before, I'm going to be running a few tests on you and as I promised, they will not bring you any real harm. Ok?"
I put an eyebrow up at the 'any real harm' part, but nodded my head, as I swallowed the last of my food.
"Ok, well, since you're done now, I'd like you to come with me." He says and walks out the door.
I follow him and the two cyborgs follow me. It really creeps me out to think about it too much, how they're part human and part robot.
Their faces were all alike, so that was encouraging. Maybe they weren't really human. They all had the left part of their faces robotic with a red eye that seemed to calculate my every move.
I tried to not make any eye contact with those things because they scared me so bad. I mean who's to say they won't just rebel, like why are they even taking Han's orders anyway? They were like the complete opposite of the regular robots; the regular ones didn't look threatening at all.
We had walked down the hall and then turned left. There were doors every ten or twenty meters. It seemed like this hallway was endless and that we would never get there, when suddenly Hans slowed to a stop by one of the doors.
He opened the door and led me in.
The room was two or three times bigger than the one we had come from and looked like a hospital room. Except for the bed and slightly-safe-feeling parts.
… An hour later…
Hans had made me sit in a chair after measuring, weighing, and running several tests on me. He had hooked some sensor things on me and made me run on a treadmill for who knows how long, taken samples of my blood (I had to be held down by the cyborgs for that one), and a bunch of other random/weird tests. The dude even checked my fricken' teeth!
After all of the tests were done and he had written a bunch of things down, he sat in a chair across from me and looked at me.
"Alright I think I'm done with all of the tests, for today at least. I just need to ask you something."
"What?" I ask, aggravated.
"Do you know if you're pregnant?" He asks, looking amused. "If you don't, that's ok because I can just check myself" he says, as if warning me.
I set my face into my well-rehearsed blank expression that I pulled out whenever I was in this kind of situation, when inside I was freaking out.
Shit, shit, shit. Shit!
I could just lie, but he had said that he could just find out for himself. If I told him that I was, who knows what he'll do to me and this kid… But if I said no, he'd just test me and find out the truth…
After a moment I unwillingly tell him "Yea." And then look away to the door.
"Ok, good, so it worked." He says while writing something on his clipboard.
I look up at him, "What? What worked?"
"Oh, I gave you all a gas to help speed things along" he tells me absentmindedly as he writes.
So I wasn't going crazy! I had seen some gas!
"That was you? But why'd you make them try to kill each other before?"
He looks up at me, "Oh no. That was an accident, there was a mix up in the hormones…" and then he mumbles something like "those imbecile" and goes back to writing.
That really pissed me off.
I had already had my suspicions, but him just casually admitting it really got to me.
First of all- he could have killed Dylan, Fang and I.
Second- he got me pregnant! (Not like that) AGAIN!
I get up and push the chair behind me violently, with every intent of hurting him. Not enough to kill him, just enough to scare him; kind off like a warning, But then I get grabbed by one of the cyborgs.
"Let me go, you piece of metallic shit!" I scream, as I kick my legs around under me. The thing was holding me by the wrists and suspending me a few inches from the ground as I thrashed around.
"Max, calm down. It's not good for the baby!"
That made me even angrier and I started to kick the cyborgs legs and yelled, "Don't' you dare tell me what to do!"
He sighed "Max, really now. Quit it before you hurt yourself."
"Shut up!" I scream, and manage to take a hand out of the thing's grip and start to claw the air in front of Hans.
The cyborg then grabs my wrist again, harder this time and I think he breaks it. I let out a cry of pain and Hans says "be careful with her!"
Then he looks at his clipboard again, waves his hand dismissively as he says, "Just give her a few doses of a sedative", and walks out the door.
I scream "Don't walk away from me!" and then everything goes dark…
…
I woke up on the bed again. I'll just call this my room now since I'll probably be here a while.
I got up and walked around the room. It wasn't very big, but I had some room so I stretched my wings out and sat on the couch to see what was on TV.
I had slept on my back and my wings were supper-sore now. Thanks a lot, whoever put me like that…
Ugh, they treated me like an animal! They had fricken sedated me!
I decided to just watch some world news channel and I started to rub my wings while I watched. I could feel some new feathers growing in, in random spots and then noticed that one wing was crooked.
I stood up and turned my neck slightly to look at my back. Yea, they were both crooked actually.
Then I remembered that that stupid robot had broken my wings the other day and I'd forgotten to do anything about it. They hadn't been set right so now they were crooked and I probably wouldn't be able to fly.
Oh, how I hate my life…
My wings were supposed to be strong though. They weren't supposed to break this easily.
They probably hadn't healed completely from the whole collision thing with Fang and Dylan. Great, now I would probably have to get them broken again and set properly.
There was a knock on my door and Hans walked in, "Hello Max" he says, making me slit my eyes. "I don't have any tests for you today, but I'd like to ask you some questions. Just some questions on how fast you normally heal and things like that."
"Why do you want to know that" I ask, snidely.
"Well, if I know a few more details on how much you and the flock grow and develop, I'll be able to know around how long your pregnancy will be, among other things."
"Whatever" I say and follow him out the door to the waiting, ever-present, cyborgs.
(Fang's POV)
"Ok, are you all ready?" I ask.
Everyone nods and Gazzy cuts a wire on something he had made, "OK, now I am!" he says and stuffs the bomb in his backpack.
"Alright, let's go" I say and head for an exit we had in the living room. I walked beside the TV and opened the door.
As everyone (with wings) walked in the tunnel, Holden closed the door and waved good-bye. We thought that this would go way smoother if only people who could fly came so only the flock, Maya and I were going to Gat Max back.
The lights in the tunnel had automatically turned on and I was leading everyone to the exit that was close to the boulder we had come in through.
Everyone was quiet until Maya said, "So, does everyone know what to do?"
"Well, I don't remember when exactly I'm supposed to set the bomb off." Gazzy says. He had been walking beside me for a while, probably wanting to ask that.
"Not until we get Max out, OK?" I say slowly, looking down at him.
"Alright, but I mean once you're out- do I wait for an OK, or do I go ahead and blow it up right then?"
"Um, just wait for an OK by me."
He nods and I look forward again. We were almost to the ladder that led out of the tunnel and closer to getting Max back.
Once we were out we all opened up our wings at the same time and I took to the skies, with everyone following shortly.
We had to go south for about three hours to get to Dr. G's lab place.
I hate that guy… All he ever does is make Max's life miserable along with all of ours.
Why can't he just get that we hate him and don't want to help him what-so-ever.
The guy fucking killed me for God's sake, and now he's got Max!
What if he does something to her? What if he makes her pregnant with Dylan's kid again? With him, that is an all too likely possibility.
Or what if 'something goes wrong' like it did with me and he kills her?
"Fang, calm down, dude!" Dylan screams at me, breaking the silence we were all flying in.
"Sorry." I mumble.
"I swear if you're going to be like that all the way there, I might accidently kill Iggy." He says and motions to Iggy behind him. We were fling in a V formation like we used to. I was in the lead, Maya and Dylan were flanking me, Iggy and Nudge were flanking them, and Gazzy was behind Iggy.
"You're kidding right?" Nudge asks, worriedly.
"Yea, I wouldn't actually kill him. I'm sure I have more self-control than that" he says looking back to Nudge.
Maya rolls her eyes, annoyed.
"Why do you always do that?" Dylan asks loudly. "You're always rolling your eyes at everything and acting annoyed, and it really bugs me! God, you're like Max, except more annoying." He whispers under his breath.
"What did you just say? Don't you ever compare me to her, you hear that pretty boy?" Maya screams looking at Dylan.
"You even over react like her too!" He adds, just to annoy her more than she already was.
Not a good idea.
Maya stops and Dylan bumps into her, making Nudge stop, so she wouldn't join the collision.
She looks at him with what I'm guessing would be a death-glare. Her death glares were a lot more lethal- looking than Max's, which really says something since Max's glares could kill.
I look back and shout, "Quit it, you two! We have a bunch of miles to cover and we can't stop for your stupid games!"
They look back at me. Maya looked a little scared at how loud that was and they quickly fly to their positions again.
Everyone stayed quiet after that and we flew in that silence for another couple of hours until we finally arrived to Han's lab.
A.N- If you'd like, you can also put baby names in reviews (both a girl and boy since I haven't told you what it is yet). I'll look at them and pick when the time comes. Try to make them really creative and unique;)
Love yall,
