A/N: I'm truly sorry to all you people who reviewed. This week just hasn't been my week to say the least. I wasn't able to reply to most of my reviews, something which I really enjoy doing, because I accidentally blocked any e-mails from fanfiction. So I'd like to thank all of you who reviewed on here. Thank you all so much!!!!!!! I've also had lots of homework and it eats up my time, I hate having my schedule forced to revolve around school. Ahhhhh. Anyways, I finally finished this chapter at 11:08 p.m. and I found that it was easier because my place is so quiet right now. I hope you all enjoy this chapter!!!!
Chapter 12
Fang POV
We were at the school again in cages locked up like animals. I looked through the bars in my cage and saw Nudge, Iggy, Angel, and Gazzy but I couldn't see Max anywhere. I looked harder but realized she wasn't here. Someone picked up my cage brusquely and threw it onto a cart. They rolled me through a long white hallway. I felt a heavy feeling in my stomach. Something bad was going to happen, I could feel it in my gut.
The person stopped rolling the cart outside a large metal door. It was an eraser. It had a huge evil grin plastered on his face and I wanted so bad to knock right off his stupid face. It opened the large metal door by sliding a card along a scanner. The door opened with a loud clunk.
The room was high-tech, with lots of monitor screens showing images of different rooms. I looked around the room and felt my heart sink despite myself as I saw Jeb turn around and look at me. He signaled something at the eraser and the eraser unlocked my cage. I was too much in shock to try and run. How come Jeb was back here? He was betraying us again. The eraser cuffed my wrists behind me and held my arms tightly.
"Fang, how nice of you to join us." He said.
"As if I had a choice." I stated back spitting venom with every word.
"Same old Fang I see." He said grinning at me.
"Why are we here, and what did you do to Max, where is she?" I asked that smile of his getting on my last nerve.
"Ah Max, she's the reason I had you brought here."
"What's Max got to do with anything?" I asked confused.
"Take a look." He said pointing at the biggest screen. I looked at it and I saw Max being dragged by two erasers. It was Max but she had bruises on her body. I could tell she was in pain. I saw Omega walk inside the room with eagerness clearly on his features.
"Let her go!" I yelled at Jeb.
"You'll want to see this." He said grinning at me.
"You demented piece of shit let her go!" I yelled at him again struggling with the eraser to let me go. He ignored me and looked back up at the screen. One of the erasers holding her pulled her head by her hair to look at Omega.
"You don't know how much I've waited to get you like this." Said Omega slapping Max hard across the face raking his metallic claws across on her face. She screeched out in pain and I struggled harder, but to no avail. He wound his arm back and delivered a hard blow to her stomach. She yelled out in pain and fell clutching her stomach with her hands. The erasers got her back up and held her up by the arms. Omega hit her in the stomach again harder than the last time knocking the air out of her. She fell again but caught herself with her hands. Omega picked her up by the neck and threw across the floor like a rag doll. Before she could get up he had her in his grip choking her, cutting off her air.
"Stop him, he's going to kill her." I yelled at Jeb, but seemed to be gone not looking away from the screen with a grin on his face. She was desperately clawing at his arms with less strength every second trying to loosen his hold.
"She's your daughter, she's dying." I struggled against the eraser and the cuffs holding me harder.
"Fang!" I faintly heard someone call my name. I broke the cuffs and now the eraser was in front off me. I punched it on the jaw and it let out a small girl-like scream.
"Fang get up!" My eyes snapped open and I saw Max over me shaking my shoulders and straddling my legs with hers. When she noticed I was awake she reached over me and turned the lamp on my nightstand on. She got up and sat down next to me. I lay there stunned for a couple of minutes when I sat up and looked at Max. She was holding the side of her face and I realized I must have hit her, thinking it had been the eraser. I moved closer to her and took her hand away. She had a bruise right under her cheekbone.
"Max, I'm sorry, let me go get some ice." I got up and walked over to the mini fridge and got some ice. I put some into a tiny sandwich bag and took one of my shirts and wrapped it around the bag so it wouldn't feel too cold.
"Man Fang you pack a punch." She said as I walked back into the room. She still had her hand covering her face when I sat down next to her.
"Here let me." She took her hand away and it looked worse than it did a couple minutes ago.
"Lay down." She did so and I was going to put the bag on her cheek.
"No, I'll do it." She said suddenly and took the bag. She winced as it touched her cheek and I felt bad for being the cause of it. She took a deep breath and relaxed a bit.
"Fang?" I didn't hear her at first; I couldn't get that image out of my head. I kept on seeing Max slowly loosing her life and then Jeb as if he had been enjoying seeing her like that.
"Fang!" She was sitting now in front of me now and she was slightly shaking my shoulders. I looked at her and I couldn't help but wrap my arms around her.
"Fang what happened?" She asked me. I felt her finger running down my back softly and it made me look up at her.
"It was a dream umm nightmare." I said looking away. I didn't know if I should tell her what had happened because it was like treading on ice when we talked about it. I didn't know if she would feel offended, sad, or what.
"I heard you say stuff about Jeb and me." She whispered. I looked her in the eyes and I wasn't really sure what she was feeling at the moment. It looked like mixture between sadness and anger.
Max POV
I didn't know how to feel about what I had heard. I wasn't even sure about what to make out of the words I'd heard, but it had sounded really bad. I didn't know if I should feel angry at Jeb because of what was happening to Fang or sad because it felt like Fang and Jeb would never really get along and Jeb was my dad and well Fang was my guy per say.
"Can you tell me what happened in your nightmare?" He looked at me with doubt.
"I-I…" He shook his head saying no.
"Fang, please." I wanted to know, so I could kind of get an insight at how Fang felt about Jeb.
"I just don't trust him, I can't make myself forget what happened at the school and the whitecoats, not this soon." He looked up at me as he said this and I saw the distrust that he really felt towards Jeb.
"I know he's you're dad and I really wish I could trust him, for you if not for anything else." I couldn't help but smile despite the circumstances.
"I get it, that you don't trust him. I don't even know how to feel about him." I had moved my face too much that time and my hand went to my cheek again.
"Damn, I'm glad I'm not your enemy." I had been trying ignoring the pain while we were talking but it was hurting although it had hurt way worse a little while ago.
"I really am sorry, I didn't mean to." He said laying me down on the bed gently.
"I know you wouldn't hurt me, especially not on purpose." I said feeling sleepy. I suppressed a yawn not wanting to move my face too much and it came out a little weird. Fang grinned a little and started to stroke my hair gently sending me to sleep.
"Fang, will you please turn off the light?" He reached over and clicked the lamp off. I felt him put a blanket over me and I patted the spot next to me motioning for Fang to lie down next to me. I felt his arm wrap around me and I felt truly secure with him next to me.
I fell asleep really anticipating seeing my mom again.
