Chapter 16: Urban Survival Rule: Never annoy an armed man.

*Aubrey's POV*

When I came to, there was only one thought on my mind.

Seriously, they sedated me again?

Gah.

I rolled over to see I was in a room that was lined with beds.

Kind of like those military rooms you see on T.V.

But without the bunk-beds and just a simple single bed.

I looked over and saw The Group and Alex lying on the beds talking lowly.

I got up and clutched my stomach in pain, and laid back down.

Oh those fuckers!

They did not!

"Ow," I whispered after I moved my stomach at the wrong angle.

"Aubrey," I heard someone whisper lowly.

I looked over and The Group met my eyes.

"What did they do to you," Tina asked running over.

I looked at her and my face contorted to anger, "Those fuckers gave me a fertility drug."

Alex's face visibly paled and he said, "They are trying to get you pregnant?"

I nodded my head and tried rolling over.

Kelsey ran to my side as I almost fell on the floor.

I whimpered as I felt my stomach turn at a bad angle.

My God, I'm whimpering. How pathetic.

"Are you okay," Lea asked frantically, voicing them all.

They knew I didn't whimper, I, Aubrey Mondell, did not whimper.

"Yeah," I grunted out pulling myself back onto the bed.

They had to do something horrible if I was in this bad of a condition and I hurt this badly.

I pulled up my shirt and they all sucked in their breath.

"What," I asked, "What is it?"

I looked down and saw white gauze lining my stomach around my navel, and a line of blood soaking through the gauze.

"What did they do to your stomach," Rae asked.

I thought of the needle and I looked at the gauze.

"I have no idea."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It couldn't have been half an hour later, but I had no idea, they weren't kind enough to put a clock in here, but Adam Dell'Antonio strolled into the room.

He smiled as he looked at The Group and Alex.

"Ahhh.... My betraying daughter and my stuck up younger cousin, Ella's friends, and," he eyes rested on me and he looked at my stomach, "and of course, Ella, herself."

He tsked at my stomach and said, "And look at that you tore your stitches open already."

I gave him a hard look, "Why am I not healing?"

He smiled and said in a too cheerful tone, "Because the drug I gave you won't allow you to heal."

I gave him a harder look if that was possible and said, "You're saying if I jumped off a cliff I would die?"
