Twisted Cogs

Chapter 9

Secrets

Echo kept waking up in the night. He tried to get some sleep as his father instructed, but all he could really do was lay against him. If he did drift off he had nightmares. His leg hurt him too, his father did what he could without any tools, but it wasn't much since he couldn't put the wires back together properly. Just twist them together. He really wanted his brother right now. He however sat in another cell with the femme who looked so weak right now. He watched his brother move her hair from her forehead as she rested. He could see it in Zanes optics. He really liked that femme. Echo smiled despite everything. He wanted to see his brother happy, and he was sure that femme could make him happy. Maybe when this was all over with she could go to school with them too?

"Pixal?" He heard Zanes voice from across the room. Her head had lollied to her chest, her green optics flickered on and off for a moment. Borg leaned in and adjusted his glasses since he was looking down at her.

"Pixal?" Their wasn't much of a response now. "Please Guard she needs power or she'll stop functioning!"

"Still...not my problem." He said turning back around looking at Echo who was leaned against the bars trying to see his brother better over Borg. Julien appeared next to him. The side of his face was bruised from the punishment he received yesterday. Probably when he was shoved to the ground. His glasses were cracked and bent.

"Zane..." Julien gasped when he saw his son open his own power source. He looked up at his father a little scared at what he planned to do. He reached into his chestplate and pulled half of his power source out and placed it into Pixals chest. She jerked forward at the sudden power within her. She looked down at his hand in hers. She looked up at Zane and then at his chest plate.

"You...gave me half of your power source?" She asked. Zane softly smiled at her.

"You are vital to me." He whispered. Pixal reached up putting her hand on his chest plate and closed her eyes. Zanes hand rested on hers and he scooted down so he was laying next to her. He found sleep was immediate. He jerked awake when he was pulled into a standing position.

"Dr. Christopher wants a good look at you." The guard growled. He turned to see Pixal in Borgs arms protectively.

"Zane!" She called reaching out for him. He held his arm out for her and shook his head.

"I'll be fine Pixal." Zane yelled out trying to comfort her. He was placed down on a tin table. A huge light overhung him and shined into his optics causing him to blink and rub them.

"Hello there Zane." Dr. Christopher smiled down at him, He had scrubs on, a face mask, and his greasy hair was all he could see. His hand went up to look over his optics with a scrutinizing eye. Zane shook his head to get his hand off.

"I see...so you still don't like me hum? Well that doesn't matter anyways. I think its about time I did what I promised right?" Zane couldn't see under his mask but he could have sworn he was smiling. Zane gasped as his chest was opened. Christopher picked something up out of view all Zane could see was a metal plate.

"Its smaller..." Christopher touched the power source sending a shock right through Zane. He gasped shuddering feeling the creepy hand moving his parts around. Zane gagged and tried his best to move the hand away from his chest.

"Stop...don't touch me." Zane cried out.

"Dr. Christopher stop! He asked you to stop!" Julien yelled pushing on the bars trying to get out. Echo picked up a piece of metal that fell from the ceiling. He ran over to the door and threw it at Christopher. It lodged into Christophers back. His yells echoed within the room.
