Chapter 4. William
M: I can't keep waiting, I almost ate a package of seeds, Scully would have scolded me or kill me. I breath heavily and shut my eyes to see her face. Ah Scully! can I really trust this new informant? You will have known the answer to my question, I need you Scully, why we always have to be apart, why is the darkness swallowing us again?
Doggett calls me, he and Monica are checking something, it must be the second file, I approach and they have a worried face, please don't let this be anything serious related to Scully, but it isn't that, the issue is worse than we thought, the project was started by the first syndicate, which didn't die that time as they made us think, but were replaced by alien replicas. Oh no, what the hell is going on? Scully is in real danger, I need to do something now!.
Marita's phone rings again, and the screen shows a name I think of every day of my life, the name of my son, William.
S: The voice continues in my head, but I feel my arms and legs release and I can't concentrate on what it says, the aliens are almost next to me, they look very familiar now, it's like if I know them, as they get closer I can see they are not completely alien, they are hybrids, almost human faces, wait, is that Conrad Strughold? No that's not possible, I'm losing my mind, what should I do? They are already next to me.
"Run" the voice says, but before I can do that, I see something that maybe won't ever fade from my mind, they hold their heads with desperation, their eyes begin to bleed and then explode, some blood reach my blouse, it's red, red blood, what is going on? I can't take this anymore, NO! I must be hallucinating, this is not possible, I start to run but suddenly the room is very dark, the voice tells me where to run, there's a door, voices outside, oh God I'm trapped, I hear shotguns outside the door, I no longer hear the voice in my head, oh no, something terrible must be happening.
M: The voice on the other end of the phone was the same as it was before, was it possible that it was actually my son, our William? He spoke quickly and without interruption.
I just sent you a map of the mountain, there is an entrance in the lower part where vehicles are allowed, you climb right up to the fork, then to the left and in the next entrance on the right, from there the road is straight up here, you must not be seen or everything will be ruined, understood?-
I did not talk like that at sixteen, did I? Maybe he inherited it from his mother. I'm so sure is him right now, who else can it be? I wanna see him so bad. I'm getting distracted, he is still talking.
I'm taking care of everything up here, you better hurry up, the project is already underway, Dana is all HE needs.-
He did not give me time to ask anything, he hung up without saying goodbye.
They are in danger, both of them, if the smoker finds out, he might be able to kill him too, but what is he doing up there anyway? When I stop thinking, I realize they all stared at me, I open the map without saying anything and head for the entrance, John follows me.
Talk to me Mulder, what did he said?
Should I tell him is my son, no, what if I'm wrong? Maybe I'm the one losing my mind here, I show him the map and the instructions without mention William, he gets back with the team and orders, I look up to the mountain, I would do everything in my power to save Scully and my son.
W: The smoker is taking good care of the mission, they must drain all the blood from my mother's body, her DNA is valuable, they took some already, but I will not allow it anymore, I don't belong to that man, even if I have been trained to do otherwise, I will protect my mother, I sneaked in a corner around the facility, he knows, I must do this quickly.
I use my power to free her and hurt the alien replicas that want to experiment with her once again. His men comes after me, I must make her escape, but why I'm here anyway? Is this also a part of his plan? He knew I will do something to save my mother? What he wants? They see me, I hear some gunshots but stop them, the bad thing is I can't do two things with my powers at the same time, Mulder, where is Mulder? What's taking so long?
Suddenly she comes out to see what happens, no, that's not the plan, the door was closed, I can't take control of the situation with her out here, some replicas are recovering their strength, butt hey are blind, that should give us time, please, Dad, I have faith in you, please come now.
I hear more shots,I see the smoker and then, him, I must do something to help him,the smoker shots, but not directly to me but to her, I can't stop the bullet fast enough so it roses her arm, she just gasps and stands behind me holding her arm, again.
I feel a deep pain in my temple, a splitting pain shocks through my head, my need tremble, I hold my head with both hands, I feel weak, the gunshots get closer and closer, my eyes begin to cloud because of the pain I feel, what is causing me this? I hear my father's voice shouting to the smoker, mom is holding me, she can't with my weight and we fall in our knees, she calls my name with concerned eyes, I clutch my fingers against my skull, I need to reach to the pain, I can't think clearly because I feel I would be able to open my brain if I have to, but she stops me putting my hands away.
Stop, you are hurting yourself!
She is concern, even she doesn't know who I am, maybe she feels the same with any teenager boy that makes her remember me, I try to talk but I can't, I wanna tell her who I am, but the pain is piercing my ears, I can feel blood coming from my nose, she is desperate now, she screams Mulder's name, so he see us, he looks a lot like me, even my vision is not completely well, there's no doubt he's my father, the alien clones finally reach the door, but they feel strong to the ground with a crash that makes my mom jump, her arm is bleeding but she doesn't care, she is focused on me, I can't do anything else but look at her now, she is so beautiful, her deep blue eyes, I feel far away now, the pain is killing me but my body is loose now. She starts to scream again to Mulder, her face pale, I can no longer hear shots, I start to lose conscience, she vanishes in front of me, everything is black now.
M: - Leave my son alone or die right now— he knows I'm not lying, the boy stops complaining he lost conscience, Scully is holding him in her arms and she looks at me in amazement, tears fall through her face, she just realized that whoever she had in her arms is our son.
Skinner's men are all around, we had a lot of help this time, I guess the luck is by our side this time, at least to stop whatever they are doing here, the smoker starts talking, he is the only one left in front of us, the others are being escorted to the trucks.
As usual you are late Fox, I knew that you would follow my plans, you never think clearly son, this conspiracy is not from yesterday or a month ago, we have been here for years -
All that I already know, and I am not your son - I interrupt him.
I don't want him to speak, I just want to kill him once and for all. But he continues,
by Marita's phone? please, I already knew that she would betray me once more, the big problem Fox, is that you didn't look closely at that laboratory where you found her, where we heal Scully's arm and we took the blood we needed to create the weapon against William, we already knew that he was not as indestructible as it seems. We also believed that the super soldiers were until they found the magnetite, or the alien replicas in the floor, they don't last long, everything has its weak point and yours is to pursue the truth with closed eyes.
What did you do to my son? - I scream.
Ah don't worry Fox, I didn't do it, It was your partner's blood, she is killing her own son, he will leave us soon, but he was never with you - he smiles, I punch him in the face making him fall hard to the floor, his lip start to bleed, Doggett reach him and confiscate a device from his pocket, then he escort him out of my sight.
I run to see Scully is still holding William in her arms and crying, Monica is next to her and as soon as she sees me walks towards me.
You have to take him to a hospital- it reminds me of the day William was born when she told me exactly the same thing about Scully.
The boy is not responding well, it seems that his whole system is failing -
Scully looks at me with a huge pain in her eyes, she heard the smoker, I know what she's thinking, but I will not let my son die, they won't hurt my family anymore.
S: I can't believe I'm holding my son in my arms after so many years, and his life continues to be in danger because of me, my blood is killing him, how is that possible? Oh God, don't push him away from me again, no this time please. I look at Mulder who is next to Monica, he knows what I'm thinking, he always does, he knows me too well.
How we got here?, he was right, darkness follows us both. I look back at my son again, my William, he has my eyes, but everything else is the same as his father, his hair, his lips, his jawline, even his expression is the same as Mulder, more tears roll down my cheeks, he opens his eyes again, my heart leap, he takes his hand to my face to wipe my tears away, it's the best feeling in the world, I love him, I've always done it, he's my son, and he's much more special than we ever imagined.
Mulder walks over and the boy speaks with a weak voice.
Mom, Dad - these words make more tears slip through my face. - we must leave, here we are... in danger, the plan is still... in progress -
what do you mean? - at that moment a deafening noise is heard, I look around and the trucks where the prisoners are, begin to burn.
The ships, must be the ships, but I can't see them anymore, in the door behind us shouts are heard, more clones are coming, but they are burning, ¿spontaneous combustion? not again.
Doggett runs towards us shouting something and pointing to Mulder, he doesn't seem to understand so I scream, he turns to see that a burning clone comes straight to me and William, I try to move but he is very heavy, as his father, he shoots but the man doesn't stop, then the clone goes flying away from us. What? but how?, I look back at William, it's William using his abilities, but he drops his arm hard in the floor and starts to convulse, I hold him tightly while Mulder run towards us, the boy starts to bleed from his nose and ears again.
oh god Mulder! We are losing him - I claim.
The seizures cease and my son loses consciousness again, his pulse is weak as so is his breathing.
we must take him to a hospital now, our son is …- my voice cracks and I can't finish the sentence, He lifts my face with his hand and tell me that will not happen.
Doggett arrives to tell us there's something worse happening, the smoker is gone.
