The Majors, Cold Fury (Book 2)

Chapter 34: Scott POV

Neither of us slept that night. What a surprise.

I couldn't tell what time of day it was. All I knew was that we had been down here for hours. We hadn't talked since Fwhip's announcement and Erin had zoned out staring at the floor. I, on the other hand, had been taking mental notes of everything in the prison cell, trying to find a quick way out, one that would preferably be too quick for Fwhip to set his alarm on us. There wasn't one.

I'd guess it was during the early hours of the morning when I heard a pressurized sound like when the metal doors shut over the bars. But my attention was drawn to the ceiling. A blue gas was being issued from the center of the room. I immediately panicked and shoved myself against the wall to get away from the gas.

Erin did the same and she was looking frantically for a way to escape it.

I tried holding my breath but soon enough I inhaled some. Immediately I felt drowsy, and my head started to spin. Then I heard the doors opening. Fwhip, Gem, Katherine and Shrub were all standing outside.

"Sorry guys, we need a safe transfer." Katherine said.

"You..." Erin said furiously, but it sounded like she was struggling to get words out.

I blinked rapidly, trying to keep myself awake, but it did nothing to help. My eyelids kept getting heavier and soon my vision blurred. I saw Erin hit the floor before I fell into a deep sleep...

My eyes shot open, and I looked around in panic.

The room was extremely bright, and the walls were painted white. I was strapped to a tilted table with leather bounds, but I was fully aware that my blackstone cuffs were still on. My cuts didn't sting anymore though, and I saw stitches in my arms, and I felt a bandage around my head.

"WHERE THE HELL AM I?" I shouted, trying to twist out of the leather binding on my wrists and ankles. I heard footsteps and Katherine burst into the room. She was wearing sanitary gloves that were splattered with blood. She took them off carefully at the trashcan by the door.

"Scott...calm down." She said. "We were just fixing you two up."

"Where's Erin?" I growled.

"In the room I just came out of."

"What did you do to her?"

"I was just putting a cast on the wing she broke and dressing the bites Zodiac gave her."

"Let me out."

"I can't."

I shouted in frustration and began straining against the straps again, but Katherine rushed over.

"Stop! You're going to hurt yourself!" she said.

"Like you care!" I snapped.

"I do, Scott. Please." She said quietly.

My mind, which was racing at a million miles per second came to a screeching halt. Yeah right. I rolled my eyes and stared down at the ground.

Katherine came closer and peeked underneath the bandages wrapped around my head, pressing her fingers lightly to the burn on the side of my head. I tried to twist out of the way from her hand, but she pressed a hand against my upper chest. "Stop it Scott, you're just going to make this take longer." She said through gritted teeth.
