'No!' She cried as he lifted the gun to her face. Scully felt hot tears roll down her cheeks now. 'Please! Mulder what are you doing!' She exclaimed, trying desperately not to let him suspect.
'Shut up. It's obvious that you know what's going on.' He said in a menacing voice, and Scully swallowed nervously. She felt her palms sweating with fear and she realised she was shaking.
'What?' She asked in a squeaky voice.
'Oh come on, you know I'm not Mulder, it's written all over your face. It hasn't taken me long to work out how to see what people are feeling since I came to this world.' The clone said, and Scully felt her heart skip a beat when she heard it. So it was definetely true. It was true. He was the clone. She was right. Scully felt faint and nearly fell to the floor.
'Where's Mulder.' Scully said with fury. She glared at him with hatred. The clone managed a small smile.
'Wouldn't you like to know?'
'WHERE IS HE!' She shouted desperately.
'He's… not very well at the moment…'
'WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!' Scully screamed, tears rolling down her cheeks. 'WHAT DID YOU DO!' She shouted desperately and then fell into a sob. The clone just stared at her with a blank expression in silence and it was killing her inside. She couldn't believe this was happening.
'You know what Agent Scully, you have no idea just how lucky you are. I would give anything to be you, a normal human being with a life and a purpose. Well guess what, I'm just a freak who was made for an experiment! And you know how that makes me feel?' He asked, advancing to her menacingly and Scully felt herself shaking in terror as she felt his skin near hers, '- that makes me feel like a loser. Like a piece of shit!'
'Please.. where is he…' Scully spluttered in tears.
'I WANTED HIS LIFE AND I TOOK IT!' He roared in her face and Scully stared at him in shock. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. 'I wanted a normal life! I wanted it!'
'You… you… you took it?' Scully stammered between breaths. Her mind was racing. 'You… you took Mulder's life?' She exclaimed in panic, and then it hit her. Scully felt her heart shatter into a million pieces as she saw the clones eyes staring into her soul with hatred. She felt sick. She couldn't believe it. Mulder was dead. He'd killed Mulder…
'You…' She said in disbelief and fear. Scully couldn't control herself. Hot tears streamed down her cheeks and she could feel her heart racing. She felt herself reaching into her jacket slowly. 'You SON OF A BITCH!' She screamed at the top of her lungs and then shouted out in rage as she pulled her gun swiftly from her jacket and then without thinking, Scully shot a bullet straight into the clone's shoulder and the impact sent him flying backwards and to the floor.
The cloned Mulder looked up at her in shock and he felt his blood spilling from his body and onto the floor around him. He felt his shirt getting soggy and wet and his head felt light and the pain. The pain was unbelievable. He couldn't believe that he could feel so much discomfort. Screaming in agony he desperately tried to get to his feet but the pain was too much and he fell back down on his back. He could see Scully walking towards him and keeping her eyesn is.He elt fear run throughhis body as he realised how angry she was. Her eyes said it all. He felt his vision blurring and blinked, trying to stay focus.
'Where is he.' She said in a low voice, almost a whisper. He shook his head and didn't answer. But she wasn't going to stop. She was furious. A crazy woman. The cloned Mulder saw her move further towards him and to his horror she stepped on his shoulder and dug her shoe into the wound. He screamed out in agony as she sent waves of pain flowing down his arm and into the rest of his body and she pointed her gun in his face. He was almost fainting from the pain now.
'Tell me where he is or I swear to god I'll shoot you again.' Scully said in a low but very theatening voice. She felt hot tears roll down her cheeks as she stared at the monster on the floor in front of her. She needed to find Mulder. She needed to make sure he was really dead.
'You won't find him!' The cloned Mulder rasped weakly, but Scully was having none of it.
'You asked for it.' She said and clicked her gun into place then brought it down to his other shoulder…
'NO!' He shouted in desperation, and she paused and raised an eyebrow questioningly.
'Yes?' She asked.
'Ok ok. I'll tell you where he is.'

Scully swerved to the right madly and a car horn blasted angrily at her as she sped past the speed limits and onto the main road out of the city. She brushed angry tears away from her eyes as she couldn't help but think about everything that had happened. She felt lost and alone, crazy and completely stupid. But she knew that she had to do this. Something in her was telling her that Mulder was still alive, but she was terrified that it was just a hope.
Scully knew that if she stopped, that if she accepted this, that it would only make her worse. She needed to find out herself, she wasn't going to have someone else tell her the news. She needed to find Mulder if it was the last thing she ever had to do.
She swerved to the right nearly cutting off a lorry and onto the side roads. She checked in her mirror to make sure no one was following her and then sped off quickly towards the road that he had explained. Scully felt sick and nearly threw up but she stopped herself quickly.
''Come on, come on Scully.' She thought to herself as she swerved to the right quickly. She had been travelling for about half an hour now, but still no sign of Mulder. She swerved to the left and her car lights swung over the deserted area around her. High trees started to come into view and the eeriness of the night took over. She felt a chill run through her blood as she became engulfed in trees all around the car. She looked up and saw them towering over her. Scully sighed heavily as she swerved around to the left and felt rage inside her. There was no sign of Mulder at all, the man had lied to her. He had lied. But suddenly she rammed on the brakes and did an emergency stop in the middle of the road. Scully cried out as she nearly ran over a man lying in the middle of the road.
