Chapter 57 Phoenix

Max's POV

I was sent to a cold dark room, like every other situation we get stuck in. There were faint lines but i couldn't tell what they were.

Every second that went by with me stuck in this room, all I could think about was everything that had just happened.

We killed the lady's son, we still don't know her name, and broke her spine in half so how was she able to hold a knife to Fang's neck when she had only died seconds before?

Before I knew it, I was walking in circles and wondering what the hell had gone on earlier that day, at least I think it was earlier that day. I don't even know what time it is or what it looks like outside. From in the room it seems like it is already night. There were very faint windows in the distance, which were covered with bars. It seemed like I was in a jail cell. For all I know, I could be in jail right now.

When my pacing started to get boring, I decided to check out what was up with the lines in front of me. They all looked the same color but what didn't in this room and they were all vertical.

You are never sure what is going to happen so I slowly crept up to it.

"If I don't survive this," I stated mumbling to myself, "I want Fang to know that he is the only one for me."

"You are the only one for me too," I spun around on my heels and saw Fang's outline not to far in front of me.

He came running at me and I was knocked to the ground with a loud thud.

I got a good look at Fang. It seemed like he was in his 50s because of the humongous bags under his eyes. His voice was slurred and his shirt was cut right across his chest. He looked like he had been in a cat fight, literally.

"What happened to you," while I waited for his answer I was praying to myself that he wasn't a clone.

We had been through so many episodes of having clones trying to take place of one of the flock members. Can't people be more creative?

"Something attacked me and something warm went down my throat. It had no flavor," he fell to the ground without any warning.

"Fang, Fang, get up," there was nothing I could do. He just wouldn't move a muscle. Panic washed over me. This is the third time that it has happened today. Something weird was going on with that lady and I was going to find out, just as soon as I get out of here.

This is never a good thing but I left Fang where he was while I went to find a way to break out.

The lines that I have been wondering about since I got in here were actually poles. They were all around me. It seemed like I was in a...a...cage.

Shit this is not good. Does that son of a bitch work for the School?

"No but you are pretty close, well maybe not," she was right in front of me. Her stinky breath was all around me. I couldn't get away from that smell.

"If you don't work for the School, then who are you, you bitch?" I asked, glaring at her, even though I highly doubt that she can see my face.

She pulled a knife from under her skirt. There was already blood smeared all over it.

The knife was coming straight towards me. I took a few steps away from her. With the Flock still at Mom's house, nothing was going to stop me from returning.

The crazy lady took the knife and slit her own throat. She fell to the floor just like Fang but she was covered in blood.

Within the next couple of seconds she was gone and a loud cawing shattered my ear drums. "What the fuck is wrong with this place?" I pretty much screamed at the top of my lungs.

"Calm down Max," a arm swiveled around my waist. I immediately grabbed it and twisted it behind Fang's back. "Let go. It's me, I swear," he called to me almost pleadingly.

"I'm not sure if I can trust you. Prove it to me," his face broke out into a huge smile.

"Does this work for you?" he leaned in a planted a juicy kiss on my lips. It didn't last very long. As soon as his lips left mine, I wanted to pull him back in and never wanted him to leave me again.

"For now but the last time you had a clone he was like you in every way," he rolled his eyes at me.

"Missed me?" the crazy lady came back, I should really ask her her name.

I jumped a couple of feet in the air. "Where the hell did you come from?"

She had an evil grin on her face, that no matter what I said to her, would not come off her face.

"For the last time, what the hell are you?" she didn't move a muscle

"Hmmm, should I tell her or should I just leave her hanging," she was starting to creep me out more then she already did. "I shall tell you on one condition."

Now it was my turn to debate whether or not to make this deal.

"I'll agree with you if you tell me what they are first," I was proud with my answer but it seemed like she found a loop hole in what I said.

She started to tap her finger on her lips. "Very tempting, very tempting but I'm going to say no. This is my last offer, if you want to know what I am then you have to do the one condition or if not then I will just keep you locked up in here forever and kill your delicious boyfriends over here."

I don't know which grossed me out more, the way she ran her tongue along her upper lip when she called Fang delicious or the way that she loves to kill people. There was no way that I was going to let Fang die so I mumbled out, "Okay."

Her evil smirk grew. "Muahaha. I need your blood."

My mouth dropped, why would anyone need my blood? "What's it for," I asked, not actually wanting to know.

"That wasn't part of the deal so you said you would do it whether you like it or not." I let out a deep sigh.

"Now that I agreed to that, what the hell are you?"

"I'm a phoenix."
