Chapter 56: Finding the Building

A/N

(Y/N) Your Name

"Signing"

"Talking"

Rocket and Maurice shrieked as the helicopter flew away. "We must be quick! Rocket, take two others and follow them! We have to know how many there are and where they are!" Maurice signed frantically. Rocket nodded and got two other apes. They climbed down the trees and chased the helicopter. "Rest of us will stay back and wait for them. Once we know how many humans there are, we'll know how many of us should go." Maurice explained. 

"Shouldn't all of us go? We must get (Y/N) back!" One of the apes pointed out. Other apes hooted in agreement. 

"We must know if there are five humans or a hundred. If they have weapons or not." Maurice explained. The apes slowly nodded. 

"What about the two other boys? Are they in on it too?!" An ape asked. Maurice then thought for a moment. Were the other boys in on Damon's plan? Did they even know about it? Maurice got everyone back. He told them that he would handle it. He just got two gorilla's to come with him. They went over to where Nova, Liam and Andrew usually hung out. But they weren't there. They looked around before they saw the three kids run up to them. 

"Maurice!" Nova signed frantically. "Andrew told me something! Damon...he isn't their real brother! He's a part of this small human group who had heard about (Y/N) and they wanted to catch her. The man who was with them when they got here, it was all a set up! Damon's here to take (Y/N)!" She explained. 

"Calm down, we know about Damon. But thank you telling us the rest. What about the boys? Were they a part of the plan?" Maurice asked as he gently held Nova's shoulders. 

"Yes, but they were only brought along to make Damon seem more believable. They're nice, promise!" Nova signed desperately. Maurice moved past Nova and positioned himself in front of the boys. Andrew hid behind Liam as Liam tried to stand strong. 

"Promise?" Maurice asked out loud. 

"-Y-yes, sir." Liam signed hesitantly. 

"Trust... very big thing... around here." Maurice said. Liam nodded, a little more at ease. Maurice then faced Nova. "(Y/N)'s gone. They already took her." Maurice signed. Nova gasped. 

"But we'll get her back..right?" She signed nervously. Maurice smiled and nodded. 

"Of course... we will."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Little under an hour later, Rocket and the two other apes had returned. They ran over to Maurice which caused other apes to join the conversation. "We saw the humans land outside a large building. Probably big enough for just under 100 humans." 

"Could that amount of humans still be alive? Even after both diseases?" Maurice asked Rocket. 

"Seems so. But there wasn't much noise when we were there. So I think we'll only need around 10 to 20 apes." Rocket replied. Maurice nodded and, along with Rocket, got 13 other apes to come with them to retrieve (Y/N). Cornelius begged to come but Rocket and Maurice thought it would be best for him to stay home and make sure everything was running smoothly. It would also be good training for him. 

Rocket lead Maurice and the other 13 apes, altogether equalled 15, towards where they saw the helicopter land. They hid in the trees and looked at the semi-large building. And Rocket was right, there weren't many humans at all. 

"Rocket. You lead 9 apes in and knock out any humans. Leave one and and find where (Y/N) is. Once they tell you, or even if they don't, knock them out. The rest of us will continue on after to get (Y/N) while your team will keep any other humans at bay." Maurice instructed. Rocket nodded and collected the 9 other apes. They made their way down the trees and took out the humans that were guarding the outside. Only 10 of them. They silently made their way through the doors as Maurice and the rest of the apes followed. 

~Meanwhile~

(Y/N) slowly opened her eyes to see a bright light which caused her eyes to immediately squint. She winced at the slight pain from the brightness. She tried to sit up but was held down but chains around her wrist, ankles, waist and torso. Her wings were held down by chains and weights. She sighed once she remembered what had happened. 

"...Okay...where are you?" She asked to the person she thought was there. Just there. Watching her. 

"She finally awakens." A voice replied back. But it wasn't who (Y/N) thought it was. She strained her neck as she tried to look around. 

"Who are you and what the fuck do you want." She asked as her eyes glowed red. It was silent before (Y/N) screamed as electric shocks ran through her body. The pain slowly died down as (Y/N) breathed heavily. 

"Do not swear at me or I will make this extremely difficult." The person said again. (Y/N) pulled at the chains as she grunted in frustration. "Do you know why I brought you here?" The person asked. 

"Well, obviously not, because I asked like one minute ago." (Y/N) answered sassily. She was electrocuted again but higher. The shocks stopped after a few seconds. (Y/N) panted as she said, "...I didn't swear." She smirked in the direction where she sensed the person. 

"They told me you were something special. Someone different-"

"No shit." 

"-Someone who could help me with my experiments." The figure stood into the light next to (Y/N)'s face. A woman with shoulder-length black and purple hair, with very distinct features. Sharp cheekbones, cat-shape eyes and Cruella De Vil eyebrows. Her whole look screamed untrustworthy. "Do you know why humans died from the diseases while the apes became smarter?" She asked as she bent down towards (Y/N)'s face. The woman's breath reeked of cigarettes. 

"No?" (Y/N) answered confused. 

"Exactly. No one does. And that's why I'm going to find out. But my question was..why get an ape when I could get the only human who was completely immune to both diseases? I'll find out the cure from you and save humankind. It'll heal up all the damages I've done in the past and not to mention the money. But to make that happen, I'll need you to cooperate. So...how about a deal?" 

"What could you possibly offer me? A beer? Because honestly, I wouldn't mind one right now." 

The woman leaned extremely close to (Y/N). Her hair falling past the side of her head and gently touching (Y/N)'s face. Not much but enough to annoy. 

"I'll leave your precious apes alone and not slaughter them all, one by one. But not before I rip your wings off right in front of them. Sound fair?"
