Chapter 5
Max's POV
I watched as those piercing red eyes closed and I released a breath that I didn't know I held, as well as some of the others, but Angels was different. She looked at us in shock and awe.
"I can't read his mind, it's just like beating at a large unbreakable steel wall" she said and this shocked us all, and we looked over at him with renewed vigor. Eventually they came by with the meal of the night and I looked as they placed it inside of our crates, and just outside of his, but he didn't open his eyes. I couldn't eat with him looking like that, being teased about food and unable to grab it.
"Eat" I saw a flash of what looked like silver inside of his mouth, and I looked at my plate of steak and potatoes and the others did as well, and he spoke again and that flash of silver I saw glinted in the dim light as he spoke "eat you need your strength, especially with what you have been through in the past few hours" he then went quiet for a while as we ate.
"You know that they were going to make me hunt you down and bring you here if you guys hadn't come in a week after my experimentation was done, which would be...a month or so from now" he said and everyone including me shivered at the thought of something that could call the Erasers disgraces would hunt us, but I steeled my nerves and was about to say something back when he spoke again "oh such a strong leading spirit at such a young age, oh I hope that you stay that way and aren't betrayed like I was." We all sat in silence as we all realized that he had just shared some thing of his past with us, and Gazzy was the first to speak up this time.
"I think I could use these to make something, a small bomb maybe, or a weapon of sorts" he said and there was a snarl shutting us up
"You shall do no such thing little one, I know you want to be brave and try to help your friends escape but the guards are coming to take your food and trays away and they have powers of senses. So they'll know if you're trying to plan or hide something, so don't do anything you or I'll regret" he said and the heavy door opened and the Erasers came back in, got our trays and utensils before leaving again. The rest of the night went by in awkward silence as we listened to the sound of the guys breathing as he slept, no jokes from Gazzy or Iggy, no questions or laughing, and no entertainment. Just plain, awkward silence, except for the calm breathing of the guy in the corner. Then ten Erasers and the Director, if she's here herself with ten Erasers then something must be either very dangerous and very important, or they are being too dramatic about their power.
Two Erasers went to the boys cage and opened the side with the others aiming stun-guns at him, and they went to touch him when all the sudden those red eyes opened in a flash and there was a flash of silver and black and the Eraser had a large gash in his neck. The second's head fell off and the boy stepped out of his cage and into the light making the six of us gasp in shock. He stood in the pool of blood at his feet like it was normal for him, and he stretched and smiled at the Director. There were sixteen shots and sparks of electricity so powerful we could see it sparking from the line from the sixteen guns surrounding him. He didn't stop smiling or stretching until a last pop was heard and he got into a low crouch, and ripped the wires from his body. Then he bent slightly every muscle tense and he was looking right at the Director. He took a step forward and froze seemingly stuck in an internal battle with himself, and his glare at the Director was scary.
"Why do you have my chains" he said still frozen "Why, do you have My CHAINS" he yelled in rage eyes burning red with hatred, an Eraser came up behind him and lifted a gun to his head before pulling the gun's trigger twice and he fell to the floor, dead. I looked him over: he had long black claws that matched his Pitch Black skin, skin that rivaled a cave's darkness. he had matching black fur covering his wolf-like legs and his feet were paws with long black claws at the end of each toe. They picked him up and I saw the mass of scars covering every inch of his legs and arms, glistening like silver in the light. Then I realized that they could actually be silver and if that's what his legs looked like then I didn't want to see the rest of his body, and as they turned the corner I saw a twitch of black fur in the back under his pants, just covering the back of his knees, twitching every so often like, he had a tail. I couldn't believe it, Erasers didn't have tails, so what was he.
"Did-did you s-see him" Nudge breathed in fear, and no one spoke "he had black skin, claws, wold legs, and a freakin' tail, a tail" Gazzy finished
"Also why did they shoot him in the head twice when they could've just knocked him out? And why was he frozen like that?" Angel asked looking at me, and I looked at Fang, and he seemed as confused as she did.
"Also what did he mean by 'my chains'?" Iggy asked and there was a growl from outside and we all shut up.
Thanks for reading and I'll have the next chapter out soon
