Some Surprises Are in Order

Chapter 18

By General Sephiroth

It had been a few days since the injections had started and every time Allen was always there, always watchful and protective at the same time. It was odd to think of your captor as protective, but if he was who she thought he was then it is understandable. "Now if only I could think of a way to test it" she thought to herself. With a sigh she closed her eyes "I don't feel good."

With a click of boots Allen entered the room relieving Javier from his silent post and sat next to her. She had not known that somebody had been in the room with her or else she would have spent sometime talking with him. The room seemed so cold to her, and sadly because of the restraints it was almost impossible to stay warm.

"Are you cold Megan" Allen asked when he noticed the fact that she was awake and shivering.

" I don't feel well Allen what is wrong with me? I don't remember the last time I felt sick." Megan said.

Allen left for a moment and returned with a thick blanket which he then placed over the blanket already on her. " I sadly was expecting this to happen. This is a reaction to the injections you are receiving."

"Allen what do these injection do?"

Allen sighed sadly "You remember Jenova right?"

Megan nodded " she was the creature that drove Sephiroth insane and was killed by my father a few months ago."

"Yes" Allen nodded " well what Hojo is doing is injecting Jenova cells into your bloodstream ..."

Before he could finish Megan erupted in pure anger "Your allowing him to inject dead monster, no insane dead monster cells into me!"

Allen covered his ears for a second because her voice echoed throughout the lab " I have little choice in what happens at the moment, but I can make sure he does not over-inject you." Allen sighed and moved a pieced of her hair out of her eyes. "Now as I was saying the Jenova cells will alter your genetic makeup. The sickness sadly is the result of what is happening. I do not know how bad it will get but I fear that it will hurt." But this point Allen's voice was strained " I am sorry Little One I would never want to hurt you like this, but this I can not prevent."

Megan by this point was sort of in shock "so I am going to become like Sephiroth, insane and driven to destroy this world I love so dearly. I don't want to hurt anyone" she thought to herself with tears in her eyes. "So I am to become a monster?"

"NO!" Allen said in a loud commanding voice "you will not become a monster. This will not change you in anyway, you will still be the same loving and caring girl you have always been." Allen hugged her to let her know that she was not alone.

"Thank you Allen it is nice to know that I am not alone through all of this." Megan said then yawned.

Allen nodded and moved another piece hair out of her eyes. "Why don't you rest. Some sleep might make you feel better."

As if bid by his words Megan's eyes closed and she fell asleep.

Upon waking up the first thing she noticed was that she was not laying upon the hard cold table, and the second was that there was an arm wrapped around her waist. Fear quickly gripped hold of her, fear that Hojo had suddenly turned perverted and had done something to her while she slept. Due to the fact that her vision had only just started to return and all she could see was dull shadowy sight she could not tell where she was or who was holding her.

The person laying next to her grunted as if just waking and the arm tightened around her "don't worry Megan" said a very tired voice "it's me Allen."

Megan relaxed slightly but still wondered why she was in his bed, though as if sensing her fear Allen again calmed her "I got you off of the table because I saw no need for you to be on it. And the reason your in my bed is because I did not want Hojo to get any ideas and take you back against my word, plus your room is not finished yet."

Megan sighed and relaxed laying back down hoping to find some way to get out of here and return home to her family. Suddenly she felt Allen tense next to her as if in pain then relax. "Allen what is the matter? Are you ok?"

Allen sighed and nodded "yeah I'm fine just tired."

Megan yawned and decided that it was finally time to see if she was correct about who Allen and the other guys are. "Uhm Allen I have a question."

"Yeah" Allen said.

"Who are you really?" Megan asked wishing that she could see how he reacted to her question.

"Why do you ask that Megan" Allen said still tired but trying to stay awake.

"Because you are not who you say you are" she said hoping to be correct.

That question woke him up a little more "really, and who do you think I am?"

Megan smiled " your Gabriel Moore, Head of Turks Elite."

Allen heaved an annoyed sigh. "you woke me up for that idiotic conslusion?"

"Well, its true, isn't it?"

He sat up on his elbows, gently releasing his package. "Javier informed me of the bloodshed that took place at the apartment; I think not." She knew that Allen was giving her the most grimaced of all looks.

"You are, you must be!" she gently yelled into his direction.

"Ugh! I am NOT GABRIEL MOORE!!! Do you understand me!" he yelled at her.

She cowered in fear. "I'm sorry…" she whimpered.

"…forget it…I'm sorry," he heaved as he flopped back down onto the pillow. "Lay back down…rest"

"N-n-no…"

"i'm just....tired of being compared to him"

"I know your Gabe you have to be" Megan pleaded.

"Ok fine you think I'm Gabriel Moore, why" Allen said just wanting to go to sleep.

"Because you called me Little One, only Gabe calls me that" she pleaded.

"You only want me to be Gabriel" Allen said yawning and leaning against the wall with a sigh and listens to her.

"Well Tony is Kail, of that I am sure of. I would know Kail if all I saw was a piece of hair. His shadow. And I also know that Gabe would never allow Kail to do something like this alone. Your Gabe you have to be." She said knowing that she had just proven wrong.

Allen laughed. "You want him alive so much that you would bring his son into it...I'm sorry Meg, you are sad"

Megan was about to yell at him and say that she was sure of it when she caught what he said "since when is Kail Gabe's son."

"Now what," allen snapped as he rolled over in the pillow

"I am sure of this Allen, I am not stupid, nor is this the result of the injections" Megan almost hit him out of anger but instead glared at him.

He laughed even harder. "I find it so humorous that your blind eyes can glare a flame at me, yet see nothing of what is in front of you" he added dangerously

"I swear if you are trying to piss me off you are doing a great job of it Allen" she sneered at him.

"That I am...heh..." he leaned and breathed into her ear, "Little...One"

Megan could not believe how pissed she was getting " how dear he " she thought. "I don't care if you are Gabe, no one mocks me like this. I swear you are more like Angel then Gabe."

"I am neither, child," Allen added. he was opening his mouth to say something else, but he suddenly began hacking.

"I don't know why I care at this moment, but are you ok?"

There was no answer, just a fleeting cough that caught the attention of others.

"Allen!" Javier yelled running in, "Allen...Al..."

No answer, just some fresh blood spread across the floor; it was warm and bittersweet. Javier slapped him, "Allen...come on..." finally, Javier had no choice. "GABRIEL ALLEN MOORE! BREATH!"

He couldn't. "Kail!"

Through out all of this Megan just sat there listening thinking "I was right. But what is wrong with Gabe?"

"I'm one step behind you, mike," kail said switching places as mike ran out of the room.
