Silver (A Ninjago Maximum Ride Crossover)

Chapter 57: Insane

'Silver's POV'

Khaos and I are thrown back into our cell.

My earpiece beeps

"Silver, Khaos, we're working on finding your location. Please try to keep yourselves out of harm."

I sit on the edge of the metal bed, letting a heavy sigh out of my mouth

Why can't they just kill me already? Well, that would be too easy. They want to see me suffer.

The cell door flies open, and I'm shot with a paralyzer dart. The serum takes over immediately.

~~~

"Silver, are you alright?" I feel a soft touch on my shoulder, then someone brushes my hair out of my face

"L-Lilian?" I open my eyes slowly, only to be hugged tightly

"You're okay!" She exclaims, sounding very relieved. I wrap my arms around her, ready to cry with happiness. I was almost certain that they'd killed her.

My happiness is short lived, as my thoughts take over my mind. If she's still alive, it means they found a way to use her against me

"Silver, they're going to-" I hear Khaos' voice from over an intercom. They must have him in the other part of the observation room, and he just got himself gagged.

Lilian and I stand up and look around. There's nothing in the room with us...

My eyes widen, I finally understand what they've done.

I turn to the glass just in time to see Vanessa press a button. Lilian drops to the floor

"Lilian! No!" They've taken control of her brain!

I run to her side. She clutches her head

"It... Hurts..." She breathes heavily

"Lilian, all the pain will leave once you give in." Vanessa's voice comes over the intercom

"Don't listen to them! Fight it! Please!" I throw my arms around her, almost in tears

"Silver, I'm so sorry." All the tension leaves her body, a few tears fall down her cheeks, and her pupils grow terrifyingly small

I let her go and back away, they took away my best friend, the one who's been there for me since I arrived in the horrible place... The one who cared for me like a mother, who was there for me when I had nobody...

"Lilian..?" I whisper. Her head turns, her eyes focusing on me. A low growl comes from her mouth, and she charges at me. Her claws and teeth become sharp and long

I unfold my wings and fly to where she can't reach me.

I can't fight her...

"What are you doing, Silver?" Vanessa asks

"I won't fight her." I look straight at Vanessa

"Well, one of you is going to die. It's your choice whether it's you or her." She isn't bluffing... She doesn't bluff...

I land on the floor and fall to my knees.

If one of us has to die, I choose me.

Lilian jumps at me, scratching through my shirt and leaving four deep scratches on my ribs

"Silver, what are you doing?!" Vanessa never would have thought that I would choose Lilian's life over mine

Lilian scratches me again, on the leg this time

"Silver, get up!" Vanessa demands. I fall to the floor, my head beginning to spin. Lilian scratches my arm, then bites my shoulder, her teeth sink into the flesh, leaving a large, bleeding wound

"Silver!" Vanessa screams. Someone stops whatever is controlling Lilian

"Silver!" She gasps in horror, and begins to cry. She wraps me in her arms, covering us both in my blood

"I'm so sorry..." She bawls into my good shoulder

"It's okay Lilian, I'm okay." I'm not okay, I can tell by the black dots that are beginning to appear on my vision

"Silver... I'm sorry..." My head falls back and my vision goes completely black.

~~~

My wounds, they hurt, but not as badly as I expected they would. I open my eyes and see Khaos looking at me from his spot on the floor.

"You're alright..." He sighs in relief

I sit up, and immediately notice something missing

"Khaos, what happened to the earpieces and cameras?!" I stick my finger in my ear, but don't feel the earpiece

"When they took you to stitch your wounds, they discovered the earpiece and the contact cameras, and removed them from both of us." He says in a quiet voice

"How will they contact us now?! How will they find us?!" I begin to panic

"They'll find us, Silver, we've just got to wait a little longer." He says

"We can't afford to wait, Khaos! They're ready to kill my best friend, and they're trying to take over our son's brain! You saw what they did to Lilian, they're going to do that to Kadence!" Tears are streaming down my cheeks

"Silver..." He looks at the camera that is in one corner of our cell, and turns his back to it, putting me in front of him. He leans down to my ear

"Before they took my earpiece, your father told me that they've found us and will be here in the next few days." He whispers. They're coming for us... There's still hope...

~~~

Khaos and I lay on our bed. It's sometime during the night, but I can't fall asleep.

"Silver, Khaos, get up!" Vanessa's voice demands, from the other side of our door. The lock turns, and the door opens.

She grabs my arm, a crazed smirk on her face. I get ready to kick her, but she throws me to a few guards before a can. My head must be getting better, because it doesn't hurt nearly as much when they throw me around

"You two should be very excited. We've finally managed to crack the code... We can get into your brains now too..." She sounds insane, but that doesn't stop her words from striking terror into me.

"You took over my son's brain?!" I scream, struggling against the guards that are trying to force me down the hall

"Of course we did. Now, we're going to see if the same method works on you two." She touches my cheek. Her eyes are crazed, she's finally gone insane...
