Wow, I haven't updated in like forever!
Sorry about that guys.
I'll try to get better about updating quicker.
Total did managed to follow the 'Max but not Max' sent through the sky, amazed that it worked so well. Unfortunately, there was no wood to knock on and he lost the sent after about three hours of flight.
"No!" The dog roared and stuggled to free himself from Iggy's grasp. The tiny dog flew around in circles before screaming, "No!" Again and plummeting towards the ground, free falling dangerously through the early afternoon sky.
Luckily, Fang had predicted this reaction and was waiting to catch the little winged creature before he'd even made it ten feet down.
"Wait!" The dog cried as he stilled and inhaled deeply. "I've got her..." He practically whispered and struggled free again, this time he was plummeting towards the ground but at a controled speed.
"She's landing." Angel translated and followed Total.
After another glance at each other, Fang, Nudge, Iggy, and Gazzy followed Angel an Total.
Max lay in her cell naked, covered only with a paper thin blanket as a girl, younger than she was, entered and shook her shoulders.
"You need to wake up, you need to wake up now." The hispanic looking child mumbled and finally Max lifted her lashes, revealing frightened, big brown eyes.
"I'm here to bathe you. Come on, I need you to stand just long enough to climb into the tub. You're to heavy for me to lift." The girl said in heavily accented English. It obviously was not her first language.
"I speak Spanish." Max mumbled, trying to be friendly despite the horror she'd gone through.
"I do too... but I'm not allow to speak anything but English to you." The girl replied shortly as she pushed Max down into the tub.
Max winced as her cuts and bruise hit the steaming hot water.
The girl gave no mind to Max's pain and immediately began scrubbing every inch of skin belonging to the older girl before finally ending with washing Max's hair and shoving her head under the water.
Max came back up spluttering, she had not been expecting the move and hadn't had time to hold her breath, therefore Max had swallowed some of her dirty bath water.
"I hate you." Max said simply as the girl forced her to climb out and dried her off roughly with a sandpapery towel.
"I don't care." The girl replied and shoved Max until she was once again laying on the pallet before covering her with the thin blanket. "My father will be in to see you shortly." The girl announced before leaving, beckoning for the same guard that had carried the large wooden tub in to carry it back out.
Max frowned as she rolled onto her side, turing her back to the other girl and the guard, refusing to belittle herself enough to ask the girl who her father was.
Turns out Max didn't have long to wait though because before she was even completely dry he entered her cell and roughly dragging her off the pallet and flattened Max on the cold stone floor of her cell.
"Ahh," He inhaled deeply as he dragged his nose across Max's now clean flesh. "I do love making love while you are all wet!" He exclaimed cheerfully as he licked a few water droplets off of Max's bare stomach before spreading her knees and plunging into her without any preparation or warning.
Max found that she couldn't even cry as the torture went on for what seemed like hours before the monster finally rolled off of her, sighing happily and standing. "I'll be back for you in a few hours, we're moving into our new room together!" He declared and exited the cell, carrying the blanket with him.
No matter how thin the blanket had been Max still missed it because it had been the only thing between her and the ice cold fingers of the prison air and the prying eyes of all the guards whose job it was to make sure she was kept 'safe' and out of harms way.
"So much for that." Max snorted and giggled hysterically, thinking was the only thing keeping her sane and Max found she was doing less and less of it every moment she remained a captive.
