VIRTUAL COOKIES TO ALL MY REVIEWERS! Thank a ton for the nice words. Here's the next chap.
Phoenix POV
I stared blankly at the white ceiling while the Director 'took care of some things' as she had told me. Harrison was off doing his rounds while I waited for my gift. I pondered over my plan once again as I sat there bored out of my mind.
1. convince them that you are ready to go on the 'mission' Check.
2. be sure to gain enough trust to be free of any chips and junk when they let you out. In Progress
3. get out and try to live life. Ummmm...
Well that was about it and it was most likely easier said than done. Suddenly the Director strode in briskly followed closely by a beaming Harrison. Harrison had a package with him, it was about the size of large file cabinet drawer and was wrapped in dark purple paper with little green dragons on it and topped with a giant green bow. I had to admit it was wonderful but it was to big to be and gun that wouldn't be to long...
Harrison handed me the present and I eagerly ripped it to shreds. Out of curiosity of course. The instant I opened the box I felt like a complete imbecile I just opened a gift from the people that had tortured me for my whole life, and expectedly a black blur leapt out and attacked my face.
I pulled it back as a wet sensation spread over my face. I waited for the pain as I cursed myself for being so stupid when I heard a loud "woof". My eyes shot open to look at the thing in my hands. A DOG? The wriggling black form was lean and tall. It had a long face and an elegant tail that curled in on the end.
" It's an Afghan Hound!" The Director exclaimed "Do you love it? It's only a tiny puppy but it'll look something like this." she handed me a photo graph of a tall lean dog with long Hair like fur and an air of pristine was beautiful it looked so graceful and intelligent. but then I noticed something odd, this was no photograph but a computer image of this dog with wings.
"Will it have the..." I trailed of as I gazed at the photo Er... image. I tore my eyes away to look down at the pup in my lap. "Can I name it?" I asked. the Director nodded and smiled and I thought for a while.
"Here" the Director said briskly motioning me off the table and leading me and my precious gift in to a small side room. It had a bed with a dark blue comforter that was folded back a little to expose the baby blue sheets beneath, a desk and a bookshelf full of books. "this is your new room. I will come see yo in a few hours to see how you are settled in." she smiled sharply and left. I sighed and sat down on the bed. Life just keeps getting stranger and stranger.
Max POV
I stared at this kid for a minute before Fang lunged forward agin slamming the kid on his face against one of the walls that made up the alley. They struggled and I made another of my famous snap decisions.
"Fang." I growled "let him talk" Fang turned a small spark of outrage flitting across his expression before going blank. he reluctantly let go and backed off into the shadows. I turned to the boy again and nodded for him to talk he nodded his thanks politely and began.
"I recently escaped from the School. I came to ask for your help so I can... you know...live?" he rubbed the back of his head nervously rumpling his hair. "So..will you help?"
I thought about it for a while looking him over he was tall almost as tall as Iggy and looked strong enough to hold his own. "Sure." I shrugged "but then you get lost." I gave him a good glare and led the kids out of the alley. Fang quickly caught up to me and growled quietly in my ear
"What are you doing?" he hissed "We don't know this guy he clearly knows about the School and us!" I sighed and gave him a look that clearly said 'not right now' because frankly I had know idea what I was doing.
I know the end was cheesy but i have to go to swim team and I wanted to get it over with. It gets Better! Promise!:D
~Lots of Love
