This is the next full chapter. I wanna thank all of you who reviewed I am so glad that all of you read my story.. Please still read and review. I don't need much, just a little "I liked it" is fine (but more is welcome)
The doors automatically opened and out ran several tall people. They seemed to be impossibly skinny and long. I felt like I was looking at really realistically drawn stick figures.
They ran towards us with jerky movements. Their joints seemed to be stiff and tight. I had the oddest feeling that these people weren't human, or even close to it.
Total noticed the one thing that I hadn't, "Max," he hissed, "They're heads aren't real."
I did a double take. What did Total mean? Then I saw that the heads of these stick people looked much like round balls, covered in a thin, skin-like material. In fact, it looked as if all of the people were skeletons covered in a thin skin; there was no muscle or shape to the bodies. All of them were identical.
I waited for them to approach us, and then landed a spinning kick on one's chest. It kept coming at me. I sighed and chopped at its neck, hoping to sever its spinal cord. I felt my finger break, these stick people were made out of something hard.
Total jumped at one's leg and bit it. The thing was unperturbed, but I heard an odd scraping sound, as if Total's teeth were biting metal. Total spit, and barked out a confirmation, "They're made out of some metal stuff, Max. I bit it and it didn't bleed."
I realized what these things were and said, "Brains on stick legs," brains that had no real body.
I glanced quickly at Total, "Up and Away," I didn't have time to stay in this crazy place anymore. We needed to get away.
Total looked at me and started to flap his tiny wings. They got him about three feet off the ground, then I grabbed him and (to my embarrassment) stuck him in my jacket.
I started to flap my wings then wanted to hit myself over the head. I was in a conference room. Inside. There was no way I could just fly away. Instead I sprinted to one of the open doors and shut it.
I turned around and saw I was in some short of metal room. The metal was all shiny and I could see myself in a mirror. I could also see the door closing. I turned just in time to see the door slam shut. There was a click that was undoubtedly a lock.
I was furious at myself. I was falling for every trick in the book. Every trick that I should know. I was being a complete idiot. What was wrong with me? "Damn it, Damn it, Damn it," I hissed.
"Are you okay Max?" Total asked, popping his head out of my jacket.
"Get out you stupid- , you stupid- Uh whatcha call it. You stupid- animal," I couldn't think of the word that described what type of animal Total was.
Total looked- mad, "You mean a dog? And who are you calling stupid?"
"What's a dog?" I asked confused, I knew I had never heard of anything known as a dog.
"What do you mean, 'what's a dog?'" Total looked mad.
"You look mad," I said again.
"No duh," he looked mad.
"You look mad and mad again," I said to the mad looking thing on the ground.
"Are you joking Max? 'Cause this is soo not funny," the thing said.
"Who are you? Why do you know me? Where am I?" I had no answer to any of those questions.
"This is your last chance Max Ride. You stop it right now. And don't be all defensive."
"What does 'defensive' mean?" I asked, completely confused. "I don't get this. I can't remember why I'm here."
"How the heck did they screw with your memory?" the thing asked again.
"My memory isn't bad. I just can't think about all this stuff. It's too hard. You're using way too many big words. I don't get it. Why won't anyone tell me what's going on?" I felt even the surest things in my life slipping away.
"Max," the thing said to no one I knew, "You know that if your memory is bad, it means you can't think of stuff."
"Who's Max?" I asked.
"Oh my god. Holy crap," the thing said, "They musta done something to your head. You don't even know who you are. Holy crap, this bad. Oh my god."
"Who is Max?" I asked again, "Wha' does 'crap' mean?"
"You're Max," the thing shouted, "You're just like a baby. You can barely talk."
"I am Max? Am I a baby? Thing, are you a baby?"
"Did you call me a 'thing'? I am not a thing. I am a dog. Canis lupus familiaris This is crazy Max."
I fell to the ground. I choked and grinned, "Yah!! Again!!" I tried to stand up and sit down again, but couldn't.
I opened my mouth to talk. I said, "Ga, goo."
I fell on my side. I was on the ground and couldn't move. Slowly the world faded.
PLEASE READ FOR EXPLANATION OF CHAPTER
Author Note- I know this chapter was confusing. I'll explain because half the time Max can't think like a teenager.
1.Max starts forgetting experience. She falls for things she should know about; she enters a room without checking it out, she tries to fly in a building, she lets the door lock behind her.
2. Max starts forgetting basic words like 'dog'. She starts losing her vocabulary, she says that Total is "mad" about a million times.
3 .Max forgets who Total is.
4. Max forgets the events that came before. She had no idea where she is.
5. Max forgets her own name.
6. Max forgets how to stand.
7. Max forgets how to talk.
To find out why all of this happens, read the next chapter- coming soon.
