Maximum Ride's Big Chase

Part 18

Max's POV:

I had woken up on a cold, damp, stone floor, in a small-ish  basement, about five minutes ago. Thankfully I wasn't tied down, and my hands were free of their binds.

When I had woken up, I sadly admit that I had started to panic. Where was I? What did Jeb want from me so much that he had to kidnap me? Was Fang here? Was he even alive?

I started answering my questions, first off, I have no clue if Fang is here with me, I hope not. Also, Fang is Fang, he can't be... dead.

I was obviously being kept in a basement, Well, I at least think I am. I could see floorboards above me, light peeking though the cracks, which was the only light I had.

There was no windows, and the door didn't have a handle on my side.

'These bastards are smarter than they look,' I thought bitterly. "What am I supposed to do now?" I asked myself quietly.

I had no way to tell time, the only things I had were my clothes, shoes, and Fang's jacket, I pulled it closer to me, breathing in Fang's scent.

I wanted to get up and look around more, but my leg was broken, I had figured that out when I tried to stand up only to topple over, my leg protesting.

After that happened I decided to take count of my injuries. My leg was broken, ribs possibly broken, and I found a gash on my forehead, that had reopened and was now freely letting blood fall into my eye.

I heard the floorboards creaking above me, and my breath hitched. Was someone coming?

My question was answered when I heard footsteps on the stairs, heading closer to me, keys jingling, then the sound of a lock clicking. As a last second decision I decided to pretend to be asleep still.

"What do you think Boss wants with her?" A rough voice asked someone," I don't know, said something about payback, by what for, I don't know." A voice responded, it sounded like Ari.

Who's this 'Boss' guy and what does he want with me? Is it Jeb? If it's Jeb then revenge for what? Me standing up for myself when he tried to rape me?

I was taken outta my thoughts when someone kicked my side. Pain exploded in my ribs, causing me to gasp.

"Get up girly," the rough voice of the first person command. I slowly opened my eyes, taking in the people standing in front of me.

Ari was in fact there, standing off to the other guys left, he had a twisted smirk on his face, like it made him happy to see me weak.

The guy that had 'woken' me up had red/brown hair and blue eyes, his nose was at an awkward angle on his face.

That must have been the guy that I punched in the nose... Ha, serves him right.

"What do you want with me?" I growled out, pushing myself up off of the floor, my broken leg stretched out in front of me.

Ari looked pissed, and grabbed my arm, yanking me up," don't talk to us like that bitch, your our captive," he sneered.

I leaned closer to him, glaring daggers at him," like I care what a dog wants me to do," I spat in his face.

He growled, and I felt a sudden sting on my cheek, he had slapped me. He shoved me down and kicked my head, his eyes shone with some weird twisted glee.

He brought his leg back to kick me again, but someone stopped him, "That's enough Ari," I glanced up and seen the man from my nightmares looking down at me," you'll have plenty of time to her later, but for now, she's mine." Jeb said, a twisted smile on his face.

My breath coughs in my throat as Jeb brought some rope out from a cabinet, "let the fun begin."

Fang's POV:

I was woken up to someone banging on the door, and my doorbell constantly going off. when had I fallen asleep?

I groggily got up, walking to the front door. I opened it, only to be tackled in a hug by Iggy, it jarred my injured arm, I ignored it as best as I could, only letting out a small hiss.

"I'm sorry man." Was the first thing he said to me, I wasn't sure if he was saying sorry about my arm, or Max. Probably A little of both.

Iggy let go and backed up, I seen a grim looking Felix behind him," we need to fix that arm of yours."

I nodded, before walking inside and sitting on the couch, I undid my makeshift sling and Iggy grabbed my arm.

"Ready," I nodded and tried to relax my arm, there was a loud, sickening 'pop.' My breath hitched as the pain hit me, but after a couple of minutes it dulled down to a light throb.

"Now what?" I asked anxiously. "Take us to where it happened." Felix spoke up, I nodded, motioning for them to follow me.

We walked down to the pond, and they took in the scenery. It wasn't much, just the blanket and basket, and you could tell there was an obvious struggle.

There were heel prints in the ground, if you looked close enough you could spot blood here and there.

You could also see we're someone was struggling to drag someone, probably Max, I thought sourly.

The drag marks disappeared a little ways off, but thankfully that gave us a start, now we know which direction they headed. 

Hopefully they didn't take any turns, but with my luck they probably did.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair, and I felt someone reassuringly pat my shoulder. I turned around to see Iggy, I looked around for Felix but he wasn't anywhere in sight.

"Felix went back up to the house, he's calling in to repot what happened, and get backup." Iggy said, somehow knowing what I was thinking, he then reassured me," we'll find her Fang."

I shrugged him off, I just wanted to be alone for a while," ok, I'm headed back." I stated before starting my trek back home.

I heard Iggy sigh and mutter something about how he's never seen me like this before.

'Like what?' Like what thought bitterly, 'the love of my life just got taken away from me, of course I'm going to be different'
