Chapter 115: Origin
'…!?' Rayne said leaning back into the wall hard as blood tears came out of the figure's eyes. Breathing faster, seeing the black-red eyes induced apprehension in her as its mouth began to stretch. All the sudden, she saw Dr. Ikari grab one of the stark naked men. Nervously glancing at her, the Fifth Child's eyes widen from seeing the same black-red eyes on Yui. When the Sub-Commander opened her mouth, numerous jagged teeth appeared making her look surreal and terrifying.
'That couldn't have happened,' Rayne thought still feeling herself hyperventilate a little. 'There is no way that could have happened!'
All the sudden, her vision shifted and was looking at the table closely. Feeling her arm snatch at something and applied a murderous grip, the sound of a man squealing was heard next to her. Seeing her vision turn to the left, she saw her hand had grabbed the older man's throat. Slowly, she felt her mouth open wide and felt three things slithering up her throat. Feeling herself gagging, black-red tentacles came out of her mouth with blood flowing out. Viciously, the three appendages stabbed and wormed into his skin while he screamed. Feeling three appendages leave her mouth and into the man, his pigmentation began to pale as blood flowed from his mouth, noses, eyes, and ears.
'Stop. Stop! STOP! STOP!?' she mentally screamed at herself as the body did not listen. Without warning or controlling herself, she attacked the naked man to the ground. In barbaric fashion, she began to rip, tear, and eat the man apart. Unable to stop herself, she could taste, smell, feel, see, and hear her cannibalization of the man. Feeling herself beyond sick and horrified, the other NERV party members were doing the exact same actions.
"GAH!" Ernst shouted from being splashed with gore heavily. Lurching forward to get away, the handcuffs kept him in his chair. Unable to wipe all the blood on his face and clothes, he shouted.
"I DEMAND TO BE RELEASED RIGHT NOW!"
"For what reason sir?"
"This is all just some scare tactics! I will sue you for this!" the older man shouted with his eyes closed and clenched fists.
"What scare tactics are you speaking of Dr. Conrad?" the Third Child asked.
"…?" he said feeling something off suddenly. He didn't feel and smell like a bloody corpse. Slowly opening his eyes, no blood came into view. Blinking them open and glancing around, he saw that the interrogation room had not changed. There was no crimson anywhere on him or around him. Looking back at the male twin, he had not moved from his sitting position as he stoically stared at him.
"Are you feeling well sir?"
"…?" the older man said staring at the boy hard. He didn't see different colored eyes or blood tears. Leaning back, he blinked then looked around the room.
"Where is he?"
"Where is who sir?"
"Shinji."
"If you are talking about Miss Rana, she is somewhere nearby I believe."
"Where?"
"I can only guess sir. I do not know her exact location since leaving this room."
"…" Dr. Conrad said looking at the table and seemed deep in thought. Glancing down at his jacket, he adjusted his sitting position little. Suddenly, he looked up at the male twin who just blinked at him.
"Listen, I want you to do something for me. I will even pay you."
"…" Sid said just staring at him without blinking.
"I'll make it better. You do this for me and I will not press charges on you."
"…"
"Listen you socially awkward twit, I have enough connections to erase you from existence."
"If you wish to tell me or not Dr. Conrad, it is your choice."
"You'll promise to do it, yes?"
"…" the male pilot said tilting his head a little. "Am I to understand that you trust my promise after threatening to erase my existence? Is that correct doctor?"
"SHUT UP! And wipe that expression off your face!"
"My apologies sir," he said tilting his head back. A loud crack from his neck was heard as he never changed his expression.
"This is my normal expression."
"Release me and I will make you a new expression. Get me out of these cuffs!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that Dr. Conrad," the Third Child said standing up.
Slowly walking around the table toward the older man, he reached forward into his jacket. Ernst lurched forward and chomped on the boy's arm. Sinking his teeth in hard, he was expecting a yelping reaction. However, the only sound emitting was his breathing with a portion of a forearm in his mouth. Biting harder, he could feel some blood being drawn from the teen's arm. Still, the boy didn't react the way he wanted him to.
"Dr. Conrad?" Sid said stoically.
"…" the older man said not looking at him. He felt his forehead start to sweat. The boy's face was within his personal space and seemed to inch closer. Oddly in his peripheral vision, the teen's face kept getting bigger and morbidly distorted. It seemed like the entire head was morphing into something uncanny and vile. Quickly biting down again, he started whipping his head side to side to shear the forearm's skin.
"Dr. Conrad?" the male pilot called again.
"…?" the older man said feeling no arm in his open mouth. Blinking multiple times, he saw that the male twin was sitting in the opposite chair. Moving his tongue a little, the doctor felt his jaw was open as if biting into something. Slowly closing his mouth, he stared hard at the teen boy as apprehension was slowly seeping into him.
"Are you in need of medication?"
"…what…" he said blinking in confusion. A disturbing sense that the boy never moved from his chair came to him.
"I said are you in need of medication," Sid asked again with a stoic voice and demeanor.
"…wait…wait-wait-wait…this can't be happening," the older man said to himself and started scanning the table. It gave the impression that he was brainstorming. Behind a fake wall, there was a hidden compartment to view the interrogation room. Inside was all the teens, the Chief, Nami, and a couple of police techs monitoring the sound and video recording. From what has occurred so far, Ryu and Nami were whispering to each other.
"He is definitely going to use the insanity plea," the Chief whispered in irritation.
"From the way he is acting…it would seem a plausible case," Nami said with irritation and wonder.
"Hey," he said turning toward the teen group. About to ask them a question, he closed his mouth seeing their expressions. All of them were engrossed with the view. Even the female twin seemed focused with a confused face. Clearing his throat a little, he walked closer to them and leaned down.
"Is this his normal behavior?"
"…no…he never showed this side to us," one male teen said quietly blinking but not turning toward the policeman. The rest of the meek teens nodded.
"Strange," Nami said walking toward them. "Every time we put Ikari in the interrogation room with a suspect, we eventually get confessions from them."
"…!" the thin adolescents said quickly turning their heads toward the secretary. She leaned back a little to see them having a sudden want in their eyes.
"…!?" Rayne said feeling goosebumps all over her body. Blinking, she saw that she was back in her hospital room. Looking around with her eyes, she was standing and leaning back hard against the adjacent wall to the hospital bed. Continuing to look around, there was nothing else inside with her. Waiting for something to change again, nothing did. Wondering if that evil being would say something to her, nothing voiced at her.
"...hhhaa…hhhhaa…hhhaa…" Rayne said forcing herself to take slow, long deep breathes. Bile was felt coming up her throat in which she tried swallowing it down. Successful in keeping it in, she felt that a small portion of her throat burn a little. Wheezing and cringing hard, she could still taste all the gore in the vision she saw herself doing.
'I need to get some water to get rid of this taste,' she thought trying to push away from the wall. Taking two wobbly steps forward, she grabbed and leaned heavily at the foot of the bed. Looking at it, the sheets were messed up and draping onto the floor on one side.
'Must have been when I felt like I was falling and smacked the floor,' Rayne stated in her mind.
Looking around in the room, there was a sink in the counter on the adjacent wall to the bed's right. Leaning heavily on the bed, she made her way around and toward the counter. Reaching it and side stepping to the sink, the Fifth Child turned on the faucet. Bending her head toward the stream of water, she ravenously gargled the liquid in her mouth many times. After doing so, the heavily rich iron and slimy taste in her mouth went away. Drinking the water and feeling better, she turned the faucet off. Rubbing her hands on her face, she felt a little at ease and could breathe out easier.
"I wonder if-!?" Rayne started to say when she heard someone make a loud shout. With ears perked up, she heard muffled running then something slamming onto the floor. The footsteps came closer then stopped followed by immediately hurling.
'That sounds similar to me,' she thought.
Feeling her instincts kick into gear, she quickly pushed off the counter and forced herself to walk. Feeling more stable, she opened the door and went into the hallway. Seeing the closet door to her right, she guided her hand while jogging to it. Reaching it, she opened it and stepped inside. Looking to her right, there was a person in a hospital gown. Kneeling on the ground near a small waste bin was the First Child breathing too quickly.
"A-Ayanami," the Fifth Child said going to her and kneeling down next to her. "It's okay. You are fine. Just breathe."
"…" Rei said hyperventilating with a wide eye expression on her face. "I…I…ate…his…his…face…face…MMM!?"
"I know it seems real, but it isn't. I had the same thing. It is just a vivid dream. It wasn't real. Just focus on breathing."
"But…but…everything…was felt…" Ayanami stated still beyond grossed out from what she saw herself do and the hyperrealism of her perceptions from experiencing it.
"Don't think about it. It is false. It isn't real. Here come with me. Let's get some water," she said getting the pilot's arm over her shoulders. Slowly standing up, the counter with the sink was nearby.
"…I…can taste…blood-MMM!?" she said holding her hand over her mouth feeling bile come up.
"Come on. Hold it. We are almost to the sink," Rayne said helping her walk to the sink. Reaching it, Ayanami couldn't hold it anymore. Freeing her arm, she gripped the edge of the counter and expelled what was remaining in her stomach. Coughing and shaking all over, she forced herself to stand.
"Rinse out your mouth. It will help," Rayne stated turning on the faucet. Nodding her head, Rei cupped her hands toward the stream of water. Bringing it to her mouth, she proceeded to rinse out her mouth several times. About to ask her if she was feeling better, another screamed happened nearby.
'Damn,' the ex-officer thought and placed a hand on the First Child's shoulder.
"I'll go check it out. Once the taste is out, drink some water. It will help. I'll be back with some help."
Seeing a small nod from Ayanami, the Fifth Child felt more stable turning around. Jogging out of the room, adrenaline was pumping through her system as she tried to figure out where the scream came from. Another cry out came and she dashed off in the direction it came.
"Dr. Conrad?"
"No…it is not plausible…hmmmm," the older man said out loud as he continued to stare at the table.
"ArEyOuFeElInGwElLsIr?"
"…!?" he said flinching from the voice.
Seeing something slithering to his right, he glanced up and recoiled. The teenage boy had mutated into largely disfigured pile of flesh, extremities, and limbs. Some of its parts were fused with skin and membranes that barely kept things together. There were too many mouths with various amounts of teeth. Some were crooked but had normal amount of teeth. Others ranged from having shark teeth, multiple sets of teeth, jagged sets, and ones that were bleeding red and black liquid profusely.
"Gur Gott," Ernst muttered seeing that the entire room had morphed to the same caliber. Everywhere he looked, the walls had changed to bleeding skin. It became hypnotic from not only seeing it pulsate, but he could feel a heartbeat surging through the ground. The amount of crimson that filled the air made him cough a little. Spitting out the taste of blood in his mouth, he saw that something came out. Watching the small appendage wiggle, it was his tongue.
"doc #$% #%$toooooooorrrr# $%# $!?" the familiar voice of the hermaphrodite screamed at him through static noise.
"OOoooowrrrrreoooooueeeerrre!?" Dr. Conrad yelled then stopped in bewilderment from not being able to speak. Hearing the voice again make a cackle, he looked up to see that only one of the mouths spoke. It mimicked the voice again as the pile of flesh moved up and down as if it was breathing. Suddenly, all the mouths started to chomp down making bite noises until various ones stopped to speak.
"DoCtOr…ddddooooooccccttttoooorrrrr."
"c-c-c-c-c-c-canyouHEARMESIR…SIR! SSSIIIIIRRRRRR!?"
"…D…R…C…O…N…R…A…D $#% #$%"
"ItShApPeNiNg…ItSgRoWiNg…ItFeEdInG…ItFeStErrrrrriinnnnnggggg."
"AASSSHIINNNEREBEEEEDDDOOUU-!?" the older man yelled at the top of his lungs when he felt a hard slap to his face.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS-?" he shouted angrily then stopped from being able to talk. Moving his teeth, he felt his tongue was reattached. Thinking about the slap, it stung and burned. Slowly turning to his left, he saw the male twin standing there. The boy blinked slowly and moved his left hand back to his side. From what his position was, the male pilot backhanded him.
"My apologies Dr. Conrad," Sid said blinking and staring stoically. "You were becoming hysterical."
"Answer my question!" Ernst shouted with a mixture of fear and irritation.
"Your question?"
"Don't play dumb with me!"
"Your question if Miss Rana has ever bled on me. Is that correct?"
"Yes! Has he!? Answer the question!"
"…" he thought still thinking that the dark clone would say something. Still not hearing anything from it, the paranoia of being alone again crept into him. Mentally shaking his head, he tried to recall a time she. One popped into his head.
"Yes. She has."
"When was this?"
"Not recently."
"I need an exact time and date."
"My apologies sir. I do not recall when it happened specifically."
"You are lying! Tell me now!"
"Is there anything else you wish to ask before we continue?"
"You don't know…god, you useless worm!" Dr. Conrad shouted and tried to get himself out of the cuffs. Unable to, he slammed his fists on the arm rests.
"Get me out of these things now!"
"I'm sorry Dr. Conrad, I cannot do that."
"I can see that you are incapable of doing anything," he said demeaning. "I will give you one last chance and you have to do it exactly as I say. If you don't-!?"
"IFIDON'T #$% #$WHATAREYOUCAPABLEOFDOINGWORM!?" the hideous pile of flesh screeched in front of the doctor's face before throwing up all over him. The older man started shouting.
"AH! AH! IT BURNS! GET IT OFF ME! IT BURNS!" Ernst bellowed from the stomach acid being spewed onto him.
On skin contact, the digestive fluid started to cackle loudly making his skin start to turn red and blister. Thrashing about in his seat, something fell out of his jacket. The Third Child saw it and quickly caught it before it hit the ground. While the doctor continuing to struggle, the Third Child blinked and stood up looking at the object. Quietly walking back to his side of the table, he sat down and examined the large test tube with a haunting glow of sky blue liquid. Hearing a large agonizing inhale from the older man, he spoke.
"Dr. Conrad, what is this solution?"
"…!?" he said opening up his eyes confused.
Blinking and slowly looking down, he was fine. There was no stomach acid burning and eating his skin. Slowly releasing the breath he took in, his back was profusely sweating. Looking quickly around with his eyes, the room was back to normal again. Sighing to himself he looked forward.
'…how…how is he moving like that?!' Ernst thought feeling his nerves being pulled. About to ponder on what was happening, an object in the teen's hands caught his attention. Moving around and not feeling an object in his jacket, he lurched forward aggressively. Stopping from the cuffs again, there was a developing red line and bruising on his wrists.
"Give that back now! That is mine to use only!"
"Could you enlighten me on what this is sir?" the male pilot asked with curiosity.
"If you inject me with it, I will tell you what it is," he said letting his tired arms rest as he breathed heavily. Looking at the boy's face, something didn't seem right. Answering his thought, only one eye moved up to stare back at him. Flinching, a black-red tentacle slowly wormed its way out of the eye. It slowly descended to the test tube and grasped it. Without warning, the appendage whipped itself around and raised the vile into the air.
"NO! STOP IT! DON'T DROP IT!?" Dr. Conrad shouted looking up. With much force, the tentacle threw the cartridge hard onto the table. Upon impact, it smashed into several pieces. The haunting sky blue liquid splattered in all directions.
"…" Dr. Conrad said. The look of lost and fear registered on the older man's face.
Hearing several running feet at the far end of the hallway, Rayne saw the medical staff were heading toward where she was. Quickly running to the screaming and opening the door, it was Dr. Ikari. A look of complete horror was on her face as she stopped screaming. Curling up into a ball, she held her head and trembled all over.
"I-It was there…i-i-it…it was t-t-there," Yui said stuttering and panicking. "Oh dear god!"
"Dr. Ikari-!?" Rayne said taking a couple steps toward her when the medics rushed in.
"Please go back to your room pilot. We will take over from here," one stated passed her going toward the scientist's side. Two others joined and started to help Dr. Ikari calm down.
"…" Rayne said about to step forward when a hand was placed on her shoulder. Looking back, it was one of many doctors in the facility.
"Thanks for wanting to help. If you can, please go back to your room."
"I can…just that everyone is going through different levels of shock," she said.
"Over what?"
"I think it is what happened at the Sakura Palace."
"I see. I will ask the others if that is the main factor of them having panic attacks and/or other factors as well. Thanks," the doctor said walking passed Rayne and headed towards Yui who was still coiled up and shaking.
Deciding to leave, she turned around and left the room. Walking back outside into the hallway, she could hear the remaining two pilots. The loud one was Asuka in which she repetitively stated about mind tricks and stupid dreams. Passing her room, she could hear her clearly without being near the door.
"Where is that idiot?! When I find him, I am going to beat the living crap out of him!"
'…I think I'll check his room,' Rayne thought going towards the room a little further down and on the opposite wall. Near Toji's room, she could hear that he was already talking to two medical staffers.
"…yea…the dream was beyond weird…more like I was a monster in a horror flick…well…I felt, smelled, tasted, touched, and thought I was eating people…I still have this blood taste in my mouth and smell in my nose…wait…how did I get here?"
"…!?" Rayne said hearing a door suddenly open with adults trying to calm someone down. Turning around, it was the Second Child who stepped out into the hallway. Spotting her, the redhead stomped toward her.
"Where is that idiot?" she demanded with her body tense and her face irritated. "I am going to punch his lights out. I told him no more mind tricks."
"…" the Fifth Child said blinking and hold her hands up. "…mind tricks?"
"Pilot Souryu! Please come back to your room until we clear you," one of two staffers stated coming towards them.
"Well?" Asuka stated crossing her arms over her chest.
"He wasn't with us when I came too. I don't think anyone in our group knows where he and Rana went to."
"What are all of you doing?" Commander Gendo stated coming down the hallway. All turned to him and straightened up a little. They saw him stop and look at them.
"We are getting both pilots back into their room sir," one of the two medics stated.
"Then continue. Which is Dr. Ikari's room?" he asked then heard her voice cry out followed by other staffer voices. Without saying anything to them, the Commander left. The small group watched him going toward and entering the room that the scientist was in.
"Well ain't he nice showing concern," the Second Child stated putting her hands on her hips. "Anyway, if that idiot isn't here, where is he?"
"We will find that out for you later Pilot Souryu. Please, go back to your room."
"GOD, FINE," she said out loud while rolling her eyes. Pouting and pivoted around, she walked back defiantly to her hospital room. The two medical staffers sighed and followed to make sure she went back into her room. Hearing the door close, Rayne turned around and went back to her room.
'Seems all of us saw and felt the same thing…did they all see that weird version of Shinji too?' she thought walking passed Ayanami's room. 'Based on when all of us got knocked out, the food they served must have been spiked.'
'Damn…that means I can't confirm what really went on there,' the ex-officer thought entering her room and closing the door. Looking at her bed, she froze with her eyes wide in fright.
"…god damn it…god damn it…GOD DAMN IT!" Dr. Conrad shouted then leaned back.
He was red in the face from angrily voicing his frustrations. Looking at the person sitting on the other end of the table, the male pilot continued to remain seated and emotionless. The sky blue solution on the table stayed in its splattered puddle with glass all around it.
"Now I can't be cured due to the infection you insolent little shit! Now I have to make another one! Get me out of here now!"
"…infection sir?" Sid asked blinking slowly.
"Do you know why Shinji was my favorite subject? DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU IDIOT!?"
"I can only assume that Miss Rana was one of the most durable of children at the time."
"Hmph. He was the first to successfully accept, adapt, and evolve with my experimental blood fusion," he said sighing heavily in frustration.
"…" Sid said with a blink. Flashbacks of a past not his own went before his eyes. Strangely, he felt someone on the other side of the wall suddenly stare at him hard.
'…I…I don't remember anything of this,' Rana thought transfixed on the two. '…yet…I am feeling tense about this. Why?'
"Children were your test subjects for this experimentation?"
"They are the most capable of adapting than older counterparts."
"Now we are getting somewhere," Ryu muttered with satisfaction and crossed his arms over his chest.
"I see," the Third Child said blinking slowly. The flashbacks stopped and finally heard the dark clone whisper something back to him. It made him relax a little. He also heard the evil voice praise him on hiding the test tube. Internally bowing, he focused back on the conversation.
"May I ask what experimentations you were seeking?"
"That is not important right now. We are both infected. Hell, could claim the entire people in the Sakura Palace are infected with it by now. There is no time for this. If you get me free, I might be willing to tell you the antidote."
"Is it correct to assume that Miss Rana's blood is contagious through airborne contact Dr. Conrad?"
"Do I have to explain it to you!? WHAT DO YOU THINK!?" the older man yelled with a scowl on his face. "And stop changing my subject's name. It is Shinji."
"What are the affects of someone coming in contact?"
"…"
"Should I guess the symptoms sir based on your exposure?" the Third Child asked without blinking.
"Ooo, tell me DOCTOR twin. What ails do I have from this contamination?"
"With a close proximity exposure, you are suffering from increased psychosis, paranoia, confusion, and fear."
"…" Dr. Conrad said still scowling at him following an eye twitch.
"My apologies sir. I left out the others: narcissist, sadist, denial of fault, relativist, pedophile, rapist, kidnapper, murder, thief, con artist, violent, and a short temper," the male pilot said with a slow blink. "However, those are not due to the infection."
"…" the four teens said with shocked expressions seeing what was happening to the older man.
"…" Ernst said turning beat red and scowling more. He clenched his teeth together as hot emotion took over with an eye twitching more.
"Here it comes," Nami said with a small smirk.
"Did I get everything doctor?"/ "DiD I gEt EvErYtHiNg DoCtOr?" Sid and the dark clone said in unison. Rana only mouthed the same phrase feeling a strange sense of being one with both of them from just stating that phrase.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU MISERABLE PIECE OF FILTH!" he shouted and tried to lurch forward. The handcuffs kept his limbs anchored to the chair as the watchers heard only the metal buckling and scrapping against the arm rests.
"When I get my hands on you, I will torture you!"
"Like you did the others sir?" Sid said stoically looking back.
"They were weak! It's just following Darwin's process of evolution!"
"By what means?"
"Any means to produce results you disgusting, antagonizing little schnitzel!"
"To create what? A new breed."
"A new breed? It is a transcendence you twit! I create a new age of man with me as the father. My subjects as my children and I as their god."
"By the use of Angels sir?"
"DON'T REMIND ME OF THAT DISATER YOU SHIT! THOSE EVANGELICAL, PROPHET BROWN NOSING FOOLS RUINED MY FIRST ATTEMPT!" Dr. Conrad barked still red with anger.
"They didn't understand and threw me out. I had to start from scratch without any resources they provided! But I found something better. Something even more potent and powerful than those deranged and morphed distant relatives of the human race. Our own blood, DNA, and brain. Those hold unlimited possibilities and capabilities that you can't even imagine," the doctor said with a large smug on his face.
"I rather enjoyed hearing about how extremists entered that SEELE lab and imploded it with the self-destruct! Matter affect, I want to personally thank those extremists for doing me a favor."
"A favor?"
"Yes. They buried, destroyed, and erased all evidence of my experiments of creating a living B.M.O. along with its offspring."
"…holy…shit…" Ryu whispered with his eyes opening wide in shock. His mouth dropped from the realization of what he said.
"…oh my god…" Nami said dropping her folder on the ground. Her hands started to shake as she covered her mouth feeling horrified and sick.
"But…that means…oh my god."
"That fucker!" Chief shouted out loud clenching his hands into fists. Causing the teens to jump, the four frail teens immediately went behind Rana scared. Without a second more, he exited the room and nearly broke down the door from kicking it open hard.
"…h…E…l…L…oooooooooo #$% #$" the evil voice said in slow motion followed by chaotic sounds. It tilted its head to the left and caused multiple pops to sound from its neck.
"…!?" the Fifth Child said standing straight and stiff. Rolling her lips into her mouth a little, she bit down to not let out a scared shout. Standing upside down from the ceiling was a mirror image of Shinji; however, it had black-red eyes. The malicious and eerie atmosphere seemed more overwhelming than normal. Its piercing gaze, its aura of death, and its larger than normal toothy grin made her feel a strong sense of fear.
"WhAt'SwRoNg…CaTgOtYoUr #$%^ #$-tOn-T-t-T-ttttttttONGUE!"
"…" Rayne said forcing herself to not move and just blink from its sudden shout. It moved its head back straight along with a wet scrunch of something internal moving. A sudden cold chill went down her spine making her shake a little. Forcing herself not to blink, the dark clone suddenly froze in place. Its locked expression never changing nor its breathing. Narrowing her eyes a little, it still did not move.
"…what…are…you…gazing…at?" it whispered in a low distorted voice.
"…!?" the female pilot said with widen eyes feeling it breathe slowly on the right side of her neck. Unable to contain her shout, she bit down hard on her lower lip till she felt pain. Stuttering her breathing, blood slowly trickled out her mouth and down the middle of her chin. Seeing something from her peripheral vision on her left side, it slowly came to her viewing and made her feel instantly clammy.
A scared up and dry black tongue slowly inched closer toward her chin. It smelled like rotten flesh making her lurch forward and roll on the ground. Standing up, she froze again seeing the dark clone was in front of her face. However, only its ripped off head was floating. Black and red blood was dripping down its exposed spine and esophagus as it continued to grin uncanny at her. The evil eyes it gave her made her start to shake visibly as her breathing became faster.
"Heeeheeheeheehe #$% #$haHAHAAAAaaaaaa" it cackled at her with various pitches and tones.
"…god…" Rayne let out a small whimper feeling its tongue glide across her chin. Goosebumps littered her skin as the black appendage felt beyond disgusting. Bile shot up from her stomach as she veered around and hurled into a small waste basket. Feeling like her whole stomach empty out in one go, she wheezed and coughed for air.
"HOWTANTALIZINGGGYYYYOOOOOUUUUUUUTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEE# $^ #%&!" the evil voice screamed at her before its pitch got lower and lower to an inaudible sound.
"…!?" she said not able to hear anything but a lower vibration. Cover her ears, she slowly looked behind her fearing what the dark clone would do to her.
"Pilot Hymity…Pilot Hymity!" the medic called to her again shaking her shoulders a little.
"…" Rayne said blinking and staring at the two medical staffers that were kneeling behind her.
"Can you say something to me? Do you hear me?"
"…wha?" she let out a small voice and looked at them with wide lost and scared eyes.
