The window of opportunity was fast approaching and I could taste good electrons in the air. Swirling pools of energy could be felt throughout the lab ; there was a vat filled with amniotic fluid that I gathered from various hospitals only one thing they missing its-his body.
There was a bust of the goddess Athena the one who I prayed to in times need ; in times of scientific discovery and times I need hope. I lay my hands upon her helm and started to chant.
"Oh great goddess of truths and wisdom, hear my plea! It is on this night I ask of thee , guide your father's bolt to strike my (weather) vein, and give this being life again. In your name I pray to you my teacher. Give new life to this my creature!"
Kissing her brow I then stopped and turned to the system of pulleys and levers that was devised to carry his body to the vat. Thunder came overhead ;the very feeling of fear and triumph coursed through my very being.
The first bolt struck , then a second ,then a third so I thought.
"Olivia open this goddamn door right now before I break it open!" all that ran through my mind was, "oh Simon not now please anytime but now." but that didn't stop him, by the time the fifth bolt struck he managed to halfway break the door with just enough room for him to slip down through into the room into my laboratory. I started jumping around like a fox trying to avoid his grip as we play this quick game of cat and mouse.
"Simon what do you think you're doing here." hopping around the vat he replied,"what the hell you doing here with this thing!" he eventually grabbed my elbow and in which consumed the rest of my body in a hold.
"There's no running for you now you're going to stop this right now!" I jabbed my elbow into his ribs getting them off me breaking his breath. "Sorry Simon but I need to do this ;you have no idea what it means to me."
Running I now quickly open the vat. he looks so peaceful specially for hundred plus volts being pumped through his body , but who was I to say how comfortable here he should be after his sleep. The moment I was able to get a good look at him Simon tackled me to the ground.
"That hurts you know!"I screeched. "I don't care." He replied remorsefully."Now you're going to tell me what you've been doing past couple of months and what the hell that thing is in there!" bubbles started coming out of the vat ,breathing was that him trying to breathe? Before I could do anything the whole container started to shake and rattle , his arms and legs were moving completely fine; so much so that he flipped the container outside where he then fell. Water came slashing out to the container and everything I had worked around the vat was then destroyed.
Simon's grip had became so light that I was able to get out from under him. I then ran to my creature who was then seen unconscious and not breathing I checked his heart was beating fine if not a little faster than normal. I then performed CPR to see if his breath would come back to me. Pounding on his chest I screamed,"No no no I came too far for you to die on me now Live Live LIVE!"My enthusiasm got the better of me but it seemed to work he was now breathing , gasping for air and crying. I held him in my arms. I looked into his blue and brown mismatch eyes and he into mine. I couldn't describe the feeling that I was feeling but it was strong ,so very strong. Tracing my fingers across his face I held tightly. He was mine and nothing could hurt in at that moment , not even Simon.
"This-this is my son and today's his birthday."
