Ok guys sorry for the short chapter. Only 3 more chapters!! Yay!!
Chapter Eighteen: A New Eraser
I woke up horribly sore and in a cage. Shit. I knew where I was - the School. I looked through the bars of my crate to find myself alone in a dull white room. How am I not surprised? Scientists had no tastes anyway. Okay that was random, damn, I'm hungry. Then, a scientist and a fully morphed Eraser walked in.
"You caught it?" the scientist asked the Eraser, referring to me. I growled. The Eraser only smiled.
"Yeah, it was a piece of cake," he replied. Then he walked over to my cage and smiled again. "Taking you was almost too easy, Katie," he growled. I backed off when he said my name, wondering how he knew it. Then I realized the reason.
"Before I say something that will or will not help you with your problem, I have to add that Joe is just not like normal boys. He just seems too, how should I say this, perfect to be a normal 14 year old. You know what I'm saying?" Max asked.
I remembered reading that unmorphed Erasers looked like supermodels. Joe could have passed for a supermodel, I remembered myself thinking. I looked at the Eraser looking into my cage again. He had the same blue eyes that Joe had. The Eraser was Joe.
"Joe?" I asked, crawling out of the corner.
"Yes?" Joe replied.
"Shit," I muttered to myself. "Did you know?" I asked, referring to what I had become.
"Of course I knew. I never liked you, Katie. I only dated you to gain your trust. Then I planned to steal you away before you got your wings, but Max and those failures beat me to it. I knew it was only a matter of time before you returned to the cave. So I waited for you and, well, you know what happened after that. I also spied on your conversation with Max. I never thought you would stoop so low as to fall in love with a blind guy," Joe explained shaking his head. I growled again, and threw myself at the door of my cage in an attempt to hurt Joe in anyway I could. I only ended up knocking the cage over so now the door was on the ground. Joe and the scientist laughed and I heard them walk away. I threw my weight back to get my cage back to its normal position and curled up in the corner, hoping that the Flock was coming to rescue me.
