"Father, is it true?" Ant'egi asked.
"Is it true that Elder Aben'aki is going to put Ang'liton to sleep today?" Faunt'ja asked.
"I'm afraid so my dear." Yolit'ger sighed. "We tried, but she just isn't co-operating."
"But, she..." Ant'egi gasped.
"Ant'egi, Ang'liton isn't healthy." Yolit'ger said.
"But, it hasn't been five months." Rab'icol'ista moaned.
"I know, Elder Aben'aki decided to do it now instead of later." Yolit'ger sighed. "If you'll excuse me ladies."
Ant'egi watched as the slumped figure of her father walked away, she couldn't believe that he was allowing for her sister to be put asleep. Rab'icol'ista and Faunt'ja shook their heads in despair, they loved Ang'liton very much and they knew that no amount of persistance on their part would stop his decision. Loa'moti and Rajik'obi'noba, who had been listening in the entire time, felt tears moistening inside their eyes. Rail'iagita smiled evily, she couldn't wait to see the look on her sisters face when they took the needle out to insert the medication that would stop her heart from beating.
"I wish we could stop him from doing this." Rab'icol'ista sighed.
"You know dad, priority always comes before pain." Ant'egi moaned.
"Yeah but this is his daughter." Faunt'ja whined.
"He knows that," Ant'egi sighed. "that's why he is doing this."
"To put her at peace." Rab'icol'ista said.
Michael was the first to hear the bad news, and at first he was happy to hear it. He and Angela were never really that close, then again she had helped him and Dutch through some very bad times. After an hour, he broke the news to Dutch and Lex. Dutch was sitting on the side of his bed, holding his head in his hands and crying. Lex was in the far off corner, rocking back and forth trying to not cry.
"I can't believe they are putting her to sleep." Michael sighed.
"What type of a father does she have?" Lex whined. "He's cruel."
"I'd hate to have a father like him." Dutch sighed.
"Poor Angela, this must be hard for her to go through." Lex sighed.
Angela knew about it yes, and she was going through it like a trooper. She was eating her last meal, a heaping plate of eggs and beef sausages. At first she had been sad, then her emotions had changed to anger then happiness. She was happy to finally be getting out of the situation once and for all. There was a knock on her door and her eldest brother, Mal'ikob'ico, walked in and sat himself on her bed.
"I'm sorry this has to happen." Mal'ikob'ico said.
"Don't be sad, be happy." Angela rasped. "I'll be fine."
"You shouldn't have to go through this." Mal'ikob'ico sighed. "Father should have put up a fight."
"Yeah well you can't win them all." Angela rasped.
"You're taking this like it's nothing." Hec'itos'lobo said.
Hec'itos'lobo walked slowly into Angela's room and stopped by her bed, he wore a frown of pain on his face. He loved his sister and would of fought the elders himself if his father wouldn't of been there to stop him. Mal'ikob'ico and he felt the same way about the whole situation. They felt that it wasn't being handled right.
"That's because it is nothing." Angela rasped. "I'll have my revenge later on."
"Really, how can you have revenge when you are dead?" Hec'itos'lobo asked.
"You'll find that out later." Angela hissed. "While I am dying."
"I hope you don't die before you say it." Danjo'loto hissed.
Michael was dragged out of his bunk and down the hallway, he could feel his arm breaking in several places. He knew were he was being taken to, and he wished he wasn't going there. There was a torture chamber below and Angela was to be put to sleep there. There was a grave that had been dug earlier that morning and it was all ready for her body. Dutch and Lex walked silently behind him, trying to make the tears go away.
"They'll all be there." Dutch sighed. "Every single one of them."
"I wonder what'll become of us." Lex said.
"You three'll be kept as our slaves." Colis'noa said. "Although I feel that you three shall also be put to sleep."
"I had a feeling we'd be kept as toys." Dutch sighed.
"Silence." Colis'noa ordered.
Lex was shackled to a wall, beside a gate that smelled like manure. She could tell, by the looks on the predators faces, that the predators were both happy and sad at what was about to happen. Three females, standing by a rock ledge that was sprouting flowers, were crying. Before she could say a word, a bell rang and Angela walked humbly to a rock table. Angela looked around only once, then climbed onto the table were the predators chained her arms tightly to her side. Yolit'ger and Elder Aben'aki stood off to the side, one was holding a needle.
"Although we gave it a try, one of our own must be put down." Yolit'ger said. "This will be as painless as can be."
"Do it before I change my mind." Elder Yeron'eri sighed.
Yolit'ger walked nimbly towards Angela, he was holding the needle out and Lex could see Angela's face contort to fear. Angela pulled away from the needle only once, but it was useless. Yolit'ger pushed the needle slowly into her gentle skin and pushed the medication into her. Angela convulsed, then went still. Lex thought that was all, but then Angela sprang upward and grabbed Yolit'ger necklace. She pulled herself up until her face was just inches from his.
"You fools, you really think I am who you think I am." Angela coughed. "I am Angela Irene's double, her experimental double, her clone."
She convulsed one more time then went silent. The medication went through her body and stopped at her heart where it set off a little device. Angela's clones body waves ended, and she went to sleep forever. But on earth, a message came up and the real deal, the real Angela Irene, intercepted it with anger. She smashed a bottle, then left for the road. Her clone was dead, and they were now coming for her.
Author's Note: Yes, I decided to stop here and start the sequel.
