With a final glance back towards Luke, the child walks away with a devious smile plastered on his face before vanishing from Luke's view. As Luke looks onward, his vision darkens and becomes blurry as he finds himself still sitting down next to Caroline. "Why am I having so many of those weird dreams lately?" Luke mutters out loud as he shakes his head in disbelief. Standing up from his seat, Luke thinks about what he had seen inside the dream world and tries to wrap his mind around what had happened. After all, not everything was just a dream. It was real. And if the decrepit child was right, then he couldn't just leave things up to Jeremy. But what could he do to help? It wasn't like he could just hop on and start hacking away at the system. That would be asking too much of someone like him who had no clue what was even happening. He was a total novice when it came to handling anything that complex on a computer. If it was physical work, then he would be able to figure it out no
Why Would his father want him to ruin his own children's image, and why did he need him to do it? Was his father truly that heartless? Was he really that cold? Whatever the case was, Luke felt that he needed to put a stop to it right now. His anger grew with each passing moment and soon enough he reached inside of his car for the still loaded gun. He figured that it wouldn't hurt to take it along with him just in case. It was likely that he would be met with force if he was spotted within the premises. And if that was the case, He would need something to fall back on if there were no other choices. With his car parked in such a discreet area that no one would notice if someone were to pass by. Luke makes his approach towards the large property. Slipping past the unaware gaze of the guards, Luke makes his way towards the backside of the home. He was hoping to enter the home in the same manner as last time. Unfortunately, there was no way that it would be possible. The window was shut
Luke acts quickly and grabs whatever was available to block the door. Although he locked it when he came in, He wasn't sure how long it would last if the guards chose to use force. *Bang Bang* A guard slams his fist into the door from the opposite side, while shouting for him to let him in. "Open this damn door before we have to kick it down." Another guard yells back as his partner continues to pound away at the door with his fists. "Come on guys. Give me a fucking break here." Luke thinks as he turns to look at the window behind him. He wasn't privy to the idea of leaping from the top floor of the manor but there weren't many other options at this point. If he wanted to escape alive, he would need to go with his gut feelings on this one. And with the sound of wood cracking and breaking under the guards pressure, he needed to get going right away. With a deep breath, Luke prepares himself for action as he reaches over to unlatch the window frame and pushes it wide open. He climb
Luke found himself in a large White walled room reminiscent of a hospital. He stood up and took a good look around, seeing that there was nothing here but a few different doorways that seemed to lead deeper into the facility. Luke felt as though he could hear the faintest sound of voices coming from the nearest doorway. He figured that he should take a look around and see if he could track down the source of the voices. It would also lead him closer to his destination. Luke's footsteps echoed off of the white walls as he walked through the barren hallway. He had expected for there to be at least someone else besides him around, but everything was eerily quiet aside from the faint noises he could hear from afar. Carefully making his way past each doorway, Luke continued down the hall, listening closely for any suspicious sounds that might betray where his targets were located. Eventually, Luke arrives at the end of the hall where he finds one final doorway. After hearing voices from
Sitting behind a large monitor was Luke's own father. The one who had also been preventing him from removing the system that was implanted into him. He watched as his youngest son approached. The old man chuckled lightly before waving a finger in front of Luke's face to bring him closer. Luke could feel him staring at him intently from beneath thick eyelashes as he approached towards the monitor. "Hello, Father." Luke states in a low tone while maintaining a strong stare with his eyes. The man's lips turned up in a slight grin as he leaned back in his chair and rested his hands upon his desk. "Well well, if it isn't the little disappointment. How is my favorite little errand boy today?" The man asked with a warm voice. Luke couldn't help but frown at the title 'errand boy' given to him by his father. especially after all he had been put through by him. "Why did you do all of this?" Luke demanded as he pointed the weapon at his father. "Because I had to, dear son." His father repli
"You don't want to do this." Luke muttered with his fist clenched, staring deeply into his fathers eyes. "You've been using me for my whole life. You don't need me anymore and I don't need you. I refuse to be a part of whatever it is that you are planning." "It's a bit too late to share your opinion on this matter, don't you think? If you would have just listened to me and followed the path I set for you, we could have avoided all of this." He spoke before reaching out and grabbing Luke's neck in a firm grip. "And I'll tell you once more... If you choose to defy my authority, then you will die." The man growled as he tightened his grip on Luke's throat. Luke was in complete shock as the old man grabbed him by the throat and squeezed hard. He tried desperately to push up against the hand, squeezing him with all his might and was surprised when his own strength caused the man holding him to respond with even greater force. "You seem surprised." Jameson whispered into Luke's ear. "Do
With one last look at his father, Luke walked away from the room and quickly made his way back to where he had left Ella and Aria. After everything that he had been through, he just wanted to go home and lay in bed and forget about all of this nonsense. And maybe he could get some good rest without his nighttime invader getting on his case. He could already feel the exhaustion in his limbs as he hurried over to where the two girls were waiting patiently for him outside of the main room. "Took you long enough. We have been sitting here for hours." Aria spoke up as she stood up with her hands on her hips in irritation. She looked like someone had taken her favorite toy away. "I swear you are slower than a turtle on its back." Luke chuckled before looking up at her and smiling as he patted her on her back lightly. "Yeah, sorry about that. I guess I just lost track of time." He responded as his eyes shifted over to where Ella was standing. "What about you? Are you ready to go home?" E
Arriving outside the old farmhouse, Luke stopped his car on the gravel driveway and got out to open up the door for his two companions who were waiting behind him in the passenger seat. Once Ella and Aria were out of the vehicle, Luke made sure to shut the door tightly and locked it as he stepped aside for them to pass him by and make their way towards the front entrance of the farmhouse. Taking a moment to take in the rusted and dilapidated farmhouse ahead of them, both Ella and Aria looked over to Luke in disbelief. The building appeared to be in much worse shape than they were expecting after having driven so far out of town. They had expected something a bit more vintage but definitely nothing as bad as this. It was almost as if the entire farmhouse was built out of scrap metal and old wood with a rusty exterior finish. The structure looked more like an abandoned barn than a proper home. "Well well, isn't this just lovely." Ella commented sarcastically as she tilted her head an
