Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You?

Chapter 6: Lashing out

~*~

So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control sometimes it's best to let go,
whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love ( So I trust in love )
And it's giving me peace of mind
I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly
Sunshine upon my face
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside
Even though it might cost me everything
Now that I know this will be all my control
'cause I could never turn my back away
Now that I see you
I can never look away.
~ P.O.D, "I feel so alive"

Alec�s eyes snapped open the instant of waking, his gaze traveling up hrm trm to the two intertwined hands up Max�s arm and into her wide open eyes. She looked surprised and tense like she hadn�t expected him to be awake. The first glimpse of his stormy green eyes was a shock on her system even more so because of the unfogged awareness in them. They slid their hands out of the handhold the air in the room suddenly becoming tense.

Max sat up quickly making her way into the bathroom mumbling about needing a shower. Alec groaned when the door closed, thinking silently to himself that waking up next to Max was enough to make any man need a cold shower. With another groan he flipped onto his stomach and concluded that he was no exception. Getting up slowly, letting the muscles in his back stretch as he contemplated the world from a sitting position. He sat there listening to the drone of the shower, and found himself wondering if the shower she was taking was just as cold as his was going to have to be.

Mumbling words that not even he could decipher he forced himself to stand up and pad over to the forlorn looking backpack lying on the tan shaggy carpet. Grabbing a black sweater and the black jeans he had been wearing the night before he sat back down on the bed and waited for his turn, letting his mind wander without check.

By the time Max had exited the bathroom freshly dressed and her hair in wet ringlets he decided that he was in desperate need of that cold shower. She didn�t look at him as he brushed past her and when he came out feeling like he could finally look at her without blushing she still wasn�t looking at him.

"We should get something to eat before we go," he said softly not sure if his voice was welcome.

"Yeah." She bit off, grabbing her jacket and heading out the door without a look back.

"�Yeah.�" He mocked silently letting his face screw up as he shrugged into his leather coat and followed her to the diner that sat next to the motel. She didn�t look at him when they ordered and hadn�t said a word to him when the food had come out. He was starting to get antsy and was fidgeting in his seat.

"Would you stop that?" She glared at him.

"And the ice queen speaks. Yes, I can stop it but I don�t particularly want to."

"Of course not."

"What is your problem?" He asked raising one eyebrow at her.

"Nothing." She clenched her jaw as he met her glare.

"Ya sure?"

"I�m sure." She rolled her eyes down into her pancakes and finished eating in silence.

When they finally set out for the facility Alec had sighed and followed Max as she walked through the trees at a leisurely pace, they weren�t doing anything more than watch until tomorrow so now they had the whole night. Snow lay on the ground in a thick sheet; the crunching of their boots was the only sound as they moved. Alec�s eyes darted through the trees keeping watch for anything that was out of place, for a long time they rested on a large lake that had frozen over, they had been walking along it for a while. Hills, high enough to make the way treacherous in the snow, made the trees into waves.

Their breath came out in thick blankets of steam as it connected with the cold mountain air. Alec sighed and stuffed his hands deeper into his pockets, he could withstand a lot of cold but that didn�t mean he liked it. When she heard his sigh Max once again shot him a glare. After an hour and a half of walking it was starting to get on his nerves. He was about to open his mouth to say something when she grabbed his arm.

There, looming in the night, was the first building that they had seen in an hour. It sat, like a warning, breaking up the silent forest with its black and gray walls and lights. Both X5s crouched down and moved across the ground flowing with the night like shadows. When they were close enough to see the whole front of the building they stopped using trees for cover. "Three guards at the front entrance, high-powered rifles one with a tazer," Alec said in a hushed whisper.

"Two on the roof, same weapons." Max answered back. "That makes at least five, make that six." She hissed as another man came into view on the roof carrying what looked like coffee.

"Coffee break," Alec quipped with a silent smirk. Max just looked at him before turning away.

"We need to get around to the back to see if there�s a better way in."

"Let�s move." Alec was up and moving before he had finished talking, letting Max fall in behind him for once. Moving into the shadows once again they made their way to the back eyes searching for any chinks in the defense. "Two by the door, none on the roof." They shared a look each nodding their heads in agreement. "We take them out and move in before the men on the roof can tell the men in the front what�s going on."

"Avoid as much contact as possible," Max agreed quietly, they sat there for two hours watching how often the men talked in their radios and how often the men on the roof came around to check out the back entrance. By the time they decided they had seen enough they were both stiff and cold, limbs protesting at their abuse.

"Let�s get out of here," Max said her voice tense and weary at the same time.

"Yeah, right behind ya." They half crouched half ran for a few minutes making sure that they weren�t seen. Alec openes mos mouth to say something to Max but shut it when he saw the tight set of her jaw. Breathing deeply, he shook his head and fell into step beside her, holding back a scowl.

After another hour of silence he decided he had had enough, stopping in his tracks, at the top of one of many large hills, he glared at her back until she stopped and turned around. "What are you doing?" she snapped.

"I want to know what your problem is, you�ve barely said a word to me all day and I�m not really understanding why. Explain it to me." He was struggling with himself to keep his voice down and quiet.

"No reason."

"There�s a reason and I�m not moving another step until you tell me what it is." Every word brought his voice up a notch.

So matching him glare for glare she matched his voice as well, "I woke up in the wrong bed!"

"What?" His mouth hung open as his brain did it�s best to wrap around her words.

"Exactly what I said, I�m not supposed to wake up next to you and I have for two days in a row now." Her fists were clenched tight as she watched him.

"That�s not what you�re mad about. You�re mad because in your sleep you reached for me, and you think you should only reach for Logaut yut you can�t!" Alec mirrored her stance; fists clenched and body tensing.

"I can�t because of you!"

"Throw that in my face again, can�t come up with anything new now, Maxie?" He was advancing on her his face a stony mask, his eyes having gone hard. Before he turned his back on her, his breathing hard.

"I should have let your head explode."

"Get over it!" Alec yelled, turning on her, his voice echoing like a ghost�s call through the trees.

"Get over it? You keep shoving this crap in my face, and then you expect me to get over it?" Her face was slowly turning red as his jaw got tighter. They both looked like they were going to either break or explode.

"Fine! Let�s do this the right way; hit me. Words are just words, Max, you think I should have died. Punch me it�ll hurt more!" He was advancing on her again and she was standing her ground fist clenching and unclenching. "Hit me!"

So she did.

She lashed out, her arm moving through the air like streamlined silk before it stopped with a bone jarring impact at Alec�s nose. He didn�t miss a beat absorbing the blow and letting it whip his body around so that he could fall into a crouch his leg coming out to sweep hers out from under her. She jumped it and came down into his waiting fist. It knocked the air out of her and threw her back two steps, not losing a second he was on her with a front kick sending her straight into a tree. When her head hit the tree with a resounding thwack she realized neither of them were going to pull their punches.

His next punch was coming at her, she dodged and it connected with the tree; bringing her arm up and around she unlocked his elbow and used her other arm to help his face follow his f Tur Turning on his heel he brought his elbow up snapping her head back.

She went for a straight kick, making snow fly everywhere, he caught it in two strong hands and wrenched it towards him but the snow made her boot slick so that she could turn the fall into an awkward flip with her foot connecting with his chin.

They broke apart breathing heavilychinching each other with wary eyes. Max was moving with the precision of a panther while Alec was calling; "don�t you think I know?" She grabbed his shirt, twisted her body so her back lay flat against his stomach and pulled, flipping him over her shoulder. Had he been anything but an X5 he would have fallen flat on his back, but he was, so his feet smacked down first and using his momentum turned her own move against her, flipping her over onto her back. He fell on top of her and wrestled for who would be on top, rolling in the snow causing it to lodge in her hair, a perfect contrast of black and white.

"Don�t you think I know," he was saying, snow splotching his face, melting on his cheeks, "I�m a screw up?" His voice broke as they rolled again, snow working it�s cold fingers into her shirt; cooling her back as it cooled her anger enough that she heard his words. "I ruin everything I touch! Yes, you should have let my head explode."
