Alone 2

Chapter 14: Take Me

Rainy's P.O.V

•••

I struggle to try to get out of his reach, but I'm too weak. I haven't eaten in days.

He throws me into the back of a black Mercedes. The seats are a white cream leather.

I kick him in the shin and he yelps and curses at me, but I ignore it and he slams the door. Another man gets into the passenger's seat and the one that brought me here gets into the drivers seat.

The man in the passenger's seat turns around to look at me.

"I'm Maxy. Call me Max." He keeps looking at me, like I'm supposed to respond.

He turns around and faces the driver.

"This is David." He doesn't say anything else until we come to a stop. I gulp as David gets out and slings the back car door open. He puts one hand around my ankle and pulls me out. I scream, but its muffled by the cloth over my mouth. I feel the sweat on my forehead. He wraps me in his arms, tightly so I don't 'escape'. I hear noises coming closer to me. I see a cabin. I see Chandler. I see Firess.

Firess's P.O.V

•••

I kick and try to scream, but just can't. I look up and see a figure that's about the same size as mine. I sit up. Opening both of my eyes wide. "R-Rainy?" I try to speak, but Chandler kicks my side, making it sound more like a growl.

Rainy falls to the ground, no, stumbles. She's running, no..rolling towards me. One of the men that was holding her rush to her, taking her by her waist and pulling her up. I look up as another figure emerges from the darkness.

"Caleb! You're one night early!" The man nods and shrugs.

"Seems like.. You're already ready to hand her over eh?" I look to Rainy, tears staining her face. I gulp and shake my head.

"What do you mean?!" I yell loudly. I let out a short breath as I hear the door to the house open, and Aria's voice slice the silence. "Hello?" She says quietly, sounding weary.

"Aria! I-" Chandler bends over, covering my mouth.

"You're gonna do what I say.. Remember?" He whispers to me. I look to Rainy, and the man named Caleb is pointing a gun at Aria. Aria's eyes wide, she gulps, letting out a breath.

Rainy's eyes filled with tears, mine filled with fear, Aria's filled with surprise, everyone else's filled with hatred, or pride, or something like that. I close my eyes, letting out a small whine.

"Okay, we need Firess now." Caleb said, still staring at Aria. My eyes quickly flicker to Aria, her hand slowly and barely noticeable in the dark, starts creeping to her waist, where her gun is. I try and shake my head, my voice still muffled by Chandler's hand. I close my eyes, not crying, as I'm all dried out.

Rainy on the other hand, is crying loudly, the only noise I can hear. Other than my own heartbeat in my ears.

Chandler nods, letting his hand off my mouth, and grabbing my shoulders, squeezing them tightly. I let out a cry of pain, my old gunshot wound still there, not quite healing as it should. He pushes me forward, my hands still tied together in front of me. I look down at the ground every now and then, glancing to Rainy who's stopped crying, her eyes on Aria, everyone else's eyes on me. I close my eyes and fall to the ground as a loud shot echoes in my ears. I let out a groan, closing my eyes.

I open my eyes, not being able to hear anything. I can only see the man, Caleb, standing above me. And faint screams of Rainy yelling 'Stop' I don't feel pain, I'm just weak. That's the only thing I can think of before I'm blindfolded and thrown into what seems to be a car.

They came to take me. The men, Caleb, David, and Maxy, have succeeded in taking everything I have from me. Including myself.

•••

I open my eyes, sitting in a chair, my arms and legs tied to it. I close my eyes, and each time I do, they open slowly. I let out a cough, my eyes widening as blood drips from my mouth onto my leg. I look up quickly as I see movement in front of me. I gulp, opening my mouth to breathe. I let out a whimper and look to another man, his face seeming worried and shameful. I sit up as best I can, my shoulders aching with pain.

He scoots up to the table and looks down at his folded hands on the table.

"Firess McCoy." He says quietly. I tilt my head at him, not giving him any signs when he said my name. "Please cooperate, Ms. Firess." I see his hand fall off the table, and come back up with a gun in his hand. I shake my head and close my eyes.

"Just do it already..." I whisper to him, opening my eyes and letting out a shaky sigh. He let out a sigh of his own, biting his lip.

"My name, is Gage." He said loudly, standing from the table. "We have brought you here for questioning." I let out a small snicker.

"Are you kidding me right now? Did I commit a crime? Oh I'm so sorry officers, I only hope no one else dies. Oh wait. Seems like millions already have." I roll my eyes and scoot back into my seat as he bends over, becoming eye level with me.

"Your parents, Maximus Lloyd McCoy, your father, and Iris Athena McCoy, your mother, started the whole apocalypse. And we think you are immune, which means....you have the cure."
