Alice stared at me in genuine shock. "Huh?"

"I'll fight." I kept grinning as if the world depended on it.

"What if that's how you die?" Rosalie eyed me, sitting next to Alice's stricken form.

I shrugged. "Who cares, really? I mean, as long as I take someone else down I'll have died in victory."

"That's not true! You can't just go out and die!" Alice exclaimed, looking on the edge.

"Maybe I won't die." I shrugged again, laughing. "Heck, who knows how I'll die? It could be experation dates, it could be my insane father, and it could be anything, really."

"Experation dates?" Carlisle looked at my face intently. "Like on food?"

"Erasers –a lycan hybrid the School made- have those, and my flock and I thought we might get them. Since I haven't gotten one yet, I don't think I'll get one. It shows up a good amount of time before the date kicks in, so if Fang and Iggy are the same age as they are now, I'd have to have one already." I sighed. Carlisle's eye brows rose in amazement.

"They've done all that? New hybrids... Experation dates... what else could they do in that hell hole?" He rubbed his eyes tiredly.

I shrugged. "They figured out a lot. That's why I've put so much time into trying to defeat them. They're a threat chain. Like a food chain but Itex –the company that helps the School- is a chain, too."

"Itex?" Rosalie shrieked in shock. "They make my hair supply!" She clutched her head and moaned.

I shrugged. "They only test on people they have control of, sherlock. Like, people they know where are and stuff."

Her hands dropped and she let out a relieved sigh before turning on me. "If you're so much in their control how do we know we can trust you?"

"How do I know I can trust you?" I retorted smartly. She glared.

"'Cause we're not freaks."

I rolled my eyes. "Just to let you know, I've been called 'freak', 'it', and 'mutant'. There's a lot more, but being a blonde, I don't want you to overthink it. Your hair might start burning from thinking too hard. Plus, your stupid, blondie remarks don't bother me. Might as well save yourself the embarresment."

She grumbled but kept her mouth shut.

"So anyway," I looked at the ground. "You've got Itex being all 'makers of everything' and acting all good and crap from first look. But if you inspect closer, you'll see that they're evil little phsycopathes. Me and my flock –before they decided to dethrone me- went to a part of this one institute and when we dug deeper for evidence we found... erm..." I cocked my head, calculating and trying to remember that horrid place. "We found maybe a little over a hundred cages occupied with experiments. I even remember one of them had wings, and she was about fourteen, too..."

Everyone was silent so I looked up and met horrified expressions.

I smiled sheepishly. "Sorry.... I guess..."

Carlisle was the first one to recover. "Ahem... Well, Max, I think –from a doctor's perspective- you should rest. Just for a little while."

I stared at him before reluctantly hopping up from my spot on the pale white carpet and flopping down onto the couch. "Fine."

I thought I heard Carlisle chuckle and shoo everyone from the room softly. I almost smiled. Closing my eyes, I drifted into sleep without thinking of anything stressing me out too much. For almost the first time, I slept without dreaming at all. I slept without thinking about Itex. Or the School. Or Jeb.

I didn't even think about Fang. The one who broke my heart and then swept the pieces up to melt them in agony.

I slept thinking of nothing, sleeping in a dream of pure nothingness.

And to be honest.

It was fantastic.

OKAY! YES! I finished and I'm happy with this! I like this chapter personally.

Okay, people, PLEASE stop saying stuff like "MORE ALEC/MAX!" or "Great story BUT you need more Alec/Max."

I know. Stories move SLOWLY. I can't just skip all the important details to give you Alec/Max. I'm so sorry but I just can't add that in yet. Give me a few chapters.

Tell you what. I'll have Alec/Max in chapter five. I think I'll have everything else covered by then...

But other than that LOVE YOUR REVIEWS! xD

Now we have a vote.

Yes! A VOTE!

Okay, I need you to vote for the following pairings to be in the next chapter. (No, these pairings aren't the OFFIIAL pairings. They're just... Drabble pairings, if you will. You'll see, but just vote for me please.)

Okay the pairings to vote for are....

Fang/Max

Seth/Max

Jacob/Max

Iggy/Max (Yes, some people like this pairing. Lol, even I like it sometimes! If you just read some of the stories on here about Miggy ***Max/Iggy, obviously*** then you'll see my point.)

Those are your choices! Yaaaaay! Okay. So vote for the one you want to see (ONLY IN THE NEXT CHAPTER ***You'll See***) and I'll taly up the votes, show you, let you vote ONE MORE TIME, and see who won. Yaaaaay! Okay then. Vote and lets see which man (Experiment, Werewolf, whatever.) wins!

Keep on truckin'! xD
