Chapter 18

"Max we're screwed aren't we?" Gazzy questioned looking through his cage.

"Yup," I replied with no expression.

It seems like I was in a cage for majority of my live in the beginning and now I am going to die in a cage. Wow, this seems like déjà vu.

"Max are you going to figure out a plan because Total and I tried to make a plan but it didn't work, instead we ended up getting drugged," Nudge asked.

"Nope," I gazed into space and crawled into a fetus position.

She started to cry and turned away from me. I knew that it was destined for us to die and maybe it was supposed to be this month, or week, or day. So what was the point of trying to escape this time? At least we would all die together, without Angel and…Fang.

Fang.

Fang.

Fang.

He was all I could even think about now. I have been in this crate for at least half a day and the only thing that was going through my mind was Fang and all the times we had spent together. I looked back at my hand which had my ring he gave me for my birthday, when we were all together and happy.

"Hello Childervn. Vemember me?" ter Borcht walked into the lab.

So this past month I have seen ter Borcht, Dr. God, and Flyboys. What next is Jeb and Anne going to walk into the room and tell us some nonsense. Knowing my luck right now, probably.

"No, but whatever you are trying to sell us we don't want to buy it," I smiled then gestured him to the door. Yes it was a pathetic comeback, but he's German, or something around that line, and probably won't understand any of it.

"Vell, I can tell vat you still have vat mouth of yours, you little brvats," he growled at us.

"Yup, some things just never change, but I know you have because I know you are dying to let us out of these cages and to let us free," I acted out the words then looked back at him with my grimly looking smile.

"Max you better shut up before I decide to kill you right now. Be happy that I am giving you a week more to live," Angel barked and walked in with, you guessed it, Jeb, Anne, and Dr. Chu walking behind them.

"What is this like a, evil scientist convention because everyone that we've met before and defeated is here. Where is the Uber-Director, in the basement with Gozen," Iggy questioned laughing with the Gasman.

"No, but they are on their way and so is Marian, your second mother," Angel smirked then gave a chuckle.

I hated that lady, Marian. She made me think that she was my mother. There were slight similarities, but not enough for her to be my mommy. And Anne the world's worst mothering figure. She enrolled us in a private school that had a headhunter that wanted to kill us. Dr. Chu was some creepy Chinese guy that wanted to destroy us (no duh). The last time we were at Dr. God's place we found out that he was a scaly creature. Then Jeb, my biological father that first was with us in our old home and then died. The traitor. I only went with his suggestions when my mom would agree with them and encourage them.

"And about your 'evil scientist convention' comment, all of the scientists of your past get to do tests on you before I have my plan put into action. Should I explain it now or let you be surprised?" Angel asked and looked into my cage. "If I was you I'd ask so you can prepare yourself," she then whispered to me.

"I want to know how I die Angel," Gazzy mimicked Dr. G-H's voice.

She straightened her gaze at Gazzy then walked over. "You will die by a hundred bombs that will destroy you and Iggy. You guys will both be in the same bomb chamber when all of the bombs explode. Nudge will be on a machine that we will hook up to all of her major organs that will shut everything down in her body and she will die. Total will stay alive because he is my dog and I love him," then she peered back at me. "Then you Max will have needles in your blood veins and the IV bag that will be hooked up to you with poison. And you're probably wondering about Fang. He will be tricked into going to the School and will be tied to a chair. In that room he is tied in there will be flat screens that will be showing all of your deaths." She laughed her evil scientist laugh.

"If I can ask of one thing from you it would be if we could see Fang, in person, before we die. Please Angel please for three seconds be that little nice girl you were until the past vew months," I pleaded.

"Fine but it will be during the week and you all get five minutes," Angel groaned.

"Thanks Angel you are the nicest meanest little evil genius ever," I smiled and laughed.

She rolled her eyes and waved everyone out. Jeb never said a word nor did Anne. I knew they were the ones behind her plans and so was ter Borcht.

"This reeks. Why is everyone trying to attack us? Why can't we be like normal people? All of the celebrities' children live normal lives but we can't," Nudge cried.

"Yea but celebrity children are normal and don't have the ability to fly, without using wires and machines for movie sets. But maybe we were destined to die this way. I mean everyone has a time when they go and we are all going young. Karma will bit them in the butt anyway," I saved myself from substituting butt for ass.

"I think you mean Karma will bit them in the ass," Iggy corrected me and laughed with everyone.

Total was quiet the hole time and I was getting worried to bad I was the only person here that cared.

"Max I am worried too," Iggy squeezed his hand out of his cage and patted my back. He really did care for me. He always did make me feel loved at times when I wasn't, especially when Fang wasn't around.

"How did you know what I was thinking and feeling?" I questioned him a little surprised.

"I. Don't. Know. It's like I can feel and see what you guys are all thinking. Do you think that it is a new skill I am developing?" he looked back hopeful.

"If it is a new skill too bad you only get to use it for a week," Gazzy mumbled while biting off his nails.

We all laughed except for Iggy. In a way he always got ripped off when it came to skills and abilities. Now that he developed a new one he only had it for about a week until he died.

"Sorry Ig," I tried to sneak my hand out of my cage, but my hand was too big.

Just remember that Karma will bit Angel in the ass. By the way, live isn't ending yet, the Voice popped in.

Long time no see, or hear in this case, I said in my head, by the way could you please stop using riddles and please actually give me some answers?

The Voice never replied back. This is all I needed, the Voice to be annoying me like crap before I die.
