Alecia stood up from her seat. "I'm just going to talk to Chuck."Norah nodded, smiling slightly. "Okay.""Hey. . . Chuck?""What's up?" he asked, hanging his arm over the back of his chair. Alecia wasted no time. "What do you know about me?"She trained her eyes to him. His lips twisted into a slight smile."More than you know."Alecia widened her eyes and straightened her back."Norah?" she wondered aloud. "Does she know?"He shook his head. "Only so much."Chuck leaned to his side to look at Diana and Virgil talking to each other. "What did you want to show me?""Excellent question." He grinned and stood up from his seat obligingly, striding to the door of the room in haste."Come, Alecia," he said, his voice echoing across the room. Alecia locked her eyes on him and hopped off the desk. When she reached him, she whirled around and gazed at Diana and Virgil for a moment. They were far too busy discussing amongst themselves to notice her. Chuck opened the door and let Alecia go i

Alecia woke up, gazing at the ceiling. After a few moments, she sat, wiped her left eye, swung her legs over the edge of the bed and stood, exiting the room and continuing down the passage. When she entered the room with desks, no one was there. She narrowed her eyes, deep in thought, and looked over her shoulder, before striding back into the passage in hurried steps. “Hey, Alecia.” Chuck’s voice cut through the silence, coming from a speaker against the corner of the room. “I see, you’re now awake.” “Where are you?” “In the chamber room,” he said. “I’m watching you from the camera feed.” “Should I come to you?” “I was about to ask you that. Yes, come here, please. We need to talk.” Alecia looked at the iron door and walked towards it, sporting a nervous expression. She opened the door and entered into the passage leading towards the chamber room. Chuck was there, near the chamber with the synthetic

Eva's way of walking was as elegant as a woman. She exuded calmness. The white plates embedded in her body were flexible and morphed according to her movements.Eva entered the room with desks. She stood in the middle, looking around it. Two individuals ran out of the passage, a man and a woman. The man abruptly stopped when he noticed Eva."Don't worry, I have no intention of hurting you.""Who are you?"Eva looked at him. "Now, Virgil. Thanks to Alecia, I live." She brought her hand to his face, but he stepped back."You don't have to be afraid.""What did you do to Alecia?""What I did?" Eva chuckled. "Perhaps you should ask Chuck that.""Goodbye."Virgil and Diana exchanged a worried looks. They entered the chamber room and saw Norah kneeling beside Alecia and Chuck near the console at the end of the room. Virgil went to Norah, looking at her. His face remained emotionless as he trained his eyes on Alecia's motionless state.He stared at Norah. "Is she...?"Norah's face was blank

Alecia sat up, gasping profusely. She tried to move against the headboard, but she was still weak."Easy there," said Leah. The strange girl tried to touch her, but she didn't allow as she backed further away."You. . ." Alecia's voice trembled, her eyes flickering between them. "Leave-" She paused and looked at the unfamiliar room. "Where am I?""Alecia," Aven calmly said before reaching her with his hand, and out of fear, she slapped it before it touched her.He sighed. "Don't you remember me?"Alecia took her eyes off him. She bent her knees and hugged them as she shook involuntarily. "Do you remember who I am at all?" Aven sat on the edge of the bed.Alecia shook her head. "N-no."For a brief moment, she turned her gaze to Leah and averted her eyes. "She's terrified," Leah whispered to Aven. "I don't blame her." Aven stepped towards Alecia. However, she again attempted to lean against the headboard even more, not breaking her eyes at him and watching his every move. "We're no

The man narrowed his gaze"We'll see." He took out his pistol and fired a bullet towards her head.Two fingers moved under the man's chin. His eyes widened with a gasp as is saw Eva standing face to face with him."How did yo-" "Now, now," Eva said."You don't have a clue of what you've gotten yourself into." Eva chuckled with an alluring smile, her gaze peircing into his eyes. Snapping out of it, he threw a punch, only for his fist to be caught by her. "That is awfully rude of you," Eva said and snapped the man's wrist with one squeeze of her hand. The man fell to his knees, grinding his teeth in pain; still glaring up at her"This is painful I presume?" She tilted her head, her eyes narrowed. She tightened her grip, forcing him to cry out in pain. After a moment, his eyes opened, still with a challenging glare."Go to hell," he said with a painful tone in his voice. "Oh?" Eva, titled her head, and pulled the man to the ground on his back and placed her boot on his throat, caus

"I can help with that." Aven, said. "No." Leah, said. "Allow me." A blue flame ignites within her hand. The darkness flees as the flame lights up the room.The floor is now more visible, which is covered ash. Dulling the color of the wood. On each side of the passage, long wooden chairs stand with cream colored cushions knitted in them. After all this time, the chairs remained.Alecia stared at the calm blue flame sitting on Leah's palm of her hand, her eyes reflecting its light, as her pupils slowly constricted. "So pretty..." she said, edging her index finger towards it. "Here you go," Aven said interrupting her and walked her to the one chair. "Sit here for a bit okay."Nodding slowly, she looked at the musical box in her hands. Aven could not help but watch her with a compa

After a moment of looking down at her, he let out a sigh."What do you mean?" He asked.Alecia looked at both palms of her with a growing guilt building up on her face. She closed them, and crossed her arms as if she tried to hide her hands. Letting out a sigh, she opened her eyes to look at Aven, and Leah."It doesn't matter," she said with a calm tone and stood up. Her gaze still fixed at the floor. "Sorry you had to see that." She said, averting her eyes. "It's not an issue," Aven said looking at Leah, beside him and turnd to Alecia."Tell me." Which urged her to look at him."Do you know your name?" He narrowed his gaze, bracing for an answer. Looking at the two of them, she fixed her gaze on Aven."They call me Alecia.""And so you don't call yourself that?" Aven said with an intrigued look."I do." She narrowed her eyes at him."Who's Virgil?" Aven asked crossing his arms. "He's my..." Alecia averted her eyes in thought. "What did-?" She looked at him with a puzzled gaze.

She ran past a few people until she stopped at the one woman. The woman stood up from her seat to meet the girl. The girl said something to the woman which Eva could not hear.

The one man is seen arguing with another about something she can't quite hear as well.Eva narrowed her gaze with a frown when heari

In one of the rooms, Leah is located. It is dark inside, with a dim, green, light, illuminating the interior. Leah lays on her back, along the bed, her black hair spread out on the pillow. On her face, a headset covers her eyes, blue neon lights emitting from it. Faint sounds of music can be heard from the two neon-lit devices in her ears.Her breathing is calm, her hands resting on her stomach. One would think she is sound asleep. After a few moments, a vibration is heard. She sits herself up, taking the devices off her ears. From her pocket she takes out her phone, and brings it to her ear. "Empress?" She simply said. -Ruth is seated at her desk, staring at the screen, holding the device over her ear."Leah, you wanted to discuss something?" She said, picking up her glass, and takes a sip. She pla

Leah is seated on her bed, crossed legged, with the sword on her lap. She stares at the window for a moment, only to look down at it. Her eyes trailing off to the shoulder of it, and to the guard-cross that holds the ridged blade in place. The handle smooth, thin, and, curved, with the pommel having a short point to one side, like a beak.Leah now moves her index finger, with it sliding across the edge of the blade. Starting from the shoulder, down to the point. She looks at her finger tip, and rubs off the visible blood with her thumb, only to bring it to her lips.She sweeps her legs off the bed, and stands. Only for her to gracefully wave the sword, her eyes locking on each swipe.The weight of it is not too heavy, with it resembling her old weapon. She holds it horizontally, and looks down at the handle, to see a button. Her thumb presses it, only for an electrical current to surge across the blade itself. Her lips twist into a smirk, only for her to press the button, and the cu

For a long while, Aven is seen standing next to Clay. Watching as he examines the blood, with a screen showing footage of a sample. Alecia stands up from the chair, and stares at the screen, and sees blood cells, which are being impaled by the virus. With each cell getting infected by it.Alecia cringes inside just by the sight of it. She frowns with a disturbed look on her face, only to slowly cross her arms, her hands now tucked in. "So that's what is in me?" She asks, still staring at the screen. The light from it, illuminating her face. "Yes, unfortunately." Clay said, as he scans around blood cells. "Look." Aven said, pointing at the one end of the screen."There's a few that are not infected." "Wait..." Clay said, his voice trailing off. Alecia looks up at the screen again, now slowly stepping forward, her eyes fixed on it.Just then, a few strands of the virus breaks away from the infected cells, and injects itself into the healthy ones. "That's disturbing." Aven said, l
