Sydney
The noise is loud.
Especially since it' actually relatively quiet as me and Angel hold out battle.
And the gasp, tiny but large all at once, took in all the air in the room.
That too sweet goody-two-shoes smile spreads across her face like butter on bread.
"Max, welcome. So glad you could be joining us." Her pearly teeth glean evilly.
Max shakes her head and blinks a million times, attempting to wake up from an nightmare that is reality itself. Her eyes begin to twinkle. Oh, God. She's about to cry. I don't dare look at Gaz. I mustn't. I absolutely mustn't. He must look like an absolute wreck.
"What have you done to her?" She glares straight at the whitecoat, I have being choked by a chain.
Mini chokes are her only response.
"Maximum, darling!"
Jeb, cool, calm, collected, strides in, head high, suit properly pressed.
"Oh I should have known-"
"Let me stop you right there, Maxie, you see your precious Angel was behind this the whole time."
Jeb comes and pats Angel's back.
"She's the amazing leader behind Itex."
"No… No.. It's not true… It can't… be…. TRUE!" She charges at him, full speed ahead, then suddenly she freezes, there. In mid air! Before collapsing to the ground.
She's stuck on repeat as she collects herself. "No… No… No… No…" Fang races at Jeb, but Angel holds him still too.
"Quite." I want to smack Angel with that stupid damn smile.
Iggy…
His head snaps up from the ground.
I'm here, Iggy…. I'm sorry I did this…
"What?" He mouths to the air. And as I am about to reply, "Well, as great as it's been talking to all of you, it's time for you to go. Now."
He snaps his fingers and Erasers come from nowhere.
They lunge and grab me, Iggy Max, Fang the whole flock and Angel just stands and laughs. "You never knew my power! I had more than any of you weaklings! My power was unappreciated!"
And all of a sudden.
Right there, then, now. I snapped.
I'm not talking punching Joanna for calling my older brother and man-slut. No. This was a kind of "snapped" no one had ever heard of or done before.
This was the snap of eternity.
This was truly snapping.
It was like every single thing in the world was breaking apart.
That gut wrenching, blood curdling, bloody murder scream that has been sitting inside me since the first attack at the Break Room, finally erupts from deep in my chest, scratching my throat mercilessly as it finally breaks free of my lips, and runs into the ears and brutally beats the eardrums of all around. It feels like a thousand screams in one. Bursting out of each other as the race to the finish. The scream broke the chains on my wrists and I was free to use them as whips. I heard someone fall and whimper. It feels like it drags on a thousand years, but then my voice is retracted and words growl from someone else in my heart.
"This. Ends. Now."
Ig, follow my lead. Attack. Now.
The whitecoat let out his finally breath as I dropped, him, cold, and dead on the ground. I throw back my chain and it lassos the Eraser. And that was when the fight began. The bright lights flickered and began to shake and bust as Angel's fury grew. But mine was bigger, more experienced that hers and it was going to be the throw down of the century. And I only had one goal.
Destroy the queen bee so her pathetic mutant workers couldn't obey anymore.
That all too haunting voice slimes back into my head.
Bring it on.
I kick the Eraser and whip him the chain, blood soon coloring the grey shirt.
I saw out of the corner of my eye, the flock getting their fight on.
"Get her Innocence out. Get her out!" Someone shrieked into a walkie talkie.
But Angel looks unfazed. She only skips away. Singing to herself.
"I'm gonna kill Duncan Falcon! I'm gonna kill Duncan Falcon!" Then I gained speed on her, chasing her down. The "Pissed-Off" meter broken, and the arrow was burning in a fire, raging in my head.
Only when hell freezes over, you bitch.
Only to be stopped by a tall eraser. He grabbed my arm, only to find himself roundhouse kicked in the face.
Blood is splattered on my orange prison jumpsuit pants and white ribbed tank. My own has tried and there's a chloroform stain on my tank top.
I race at her and then stop, as I am grabbed by another eraser. I punch and kick all the way, and look over at the flock, Max is taking down five at once. They're all so much stronger. I can't do this as a human.
Then a swift, steady kick to the groin, makes the Eraser drop me. I quickly get back up and rush to the operating table in the corner. I grab the shot.
"Sydney!" Iggy screams out. And then Fang glances over and drops the guy whose nose he's just ripped off and runs at me.
"Sydney! Stop! You don't know what you're doing!"
"I'm helping you, dammit! I can't take them in my human state!"
Then, a whitecoat enters the room. "Wait! That's not!" But I don't even hear and the next thing I know. I stab the shot into my arm. The serum leaks into me. And I let out another scream I didn't know I had in me. The one was worse than the one before. And all of a sudden, I fell a searing white hot sensation in my back, my head, my feet and ankles, the tips of my fingers, my ears and my teeth.
I hear a ripping noise from my back and my gums begin to rage up in flames. A strap on my tank tears off and I can feel the tank ripping and unthreading itself, something coming out of my back climbs free. But I can't even tell what's happening. And then I can feel my skin breaking apart. All in those areas, my feet, ankles, tips of my fingers, back, and head. I grab my head, the piercing sensation is so sharp It's like stakes going in and out of me. And I feel something hard, and sharp, twisting into my hands. Fear rumbles in my stomach and I think I'm going to die.
I didn't even know what the damn serum was. And I just stabbed myself with it.
Schripping noises harmonize to the tantalizing melody of my shriek, so unbearable to even my own ears. My body stings and burns and I can't even describe it. It hurts to just think.
So I let go. And I just.
Scream.
