I entered the piano room and saw Eve in the far left corner of the room playing the piano. Eve played a lovely sound... but I had my gun aimed at her as I walked slowly towards her. Eve seemed to be in a trance, playing the piano and muttering to herself. "I'm...Melissa.... I'm... NO!...I...I am... I... am... 'Eve'...." She ranted. There was a sudden change of expression from a trance like state to a terrified state. Then it seemed as if she was possessed with an unknown evil. " Nucleic domination has finally come to an end once and for all..." She said in a two tone voice. "What?!" I said alarmed. Soon after, her skin started to turn a pale white and she seemed terrified once again. "I'm... I'm... Getting Hot!!!" She screamed out as her arms grew longer and her hands got bigger and bigger. Her nails grew longer and sharper. Eve began to float off from her seat and smashed the piano keys with her monstrous hands. Her red dress melted into her skin and her hair formed into branches of some sort. She gave a abnormal giggle as her transformation was complete.
"What the hell IS she?!" I thought to myself. " Once again... the day for the mitochondria to be free has finally arrived!" She said in a celebrating voice. Then Eve looked down at me and snickered. Then soon laughed. "Looks like you need some time girl... until your mitochondria is completely FREE... " She snickered. A sudden ball of energy quickly formed into her hand and she swiftly shot a powerful ray then before. I had no time to dodge it and it pounded my gut. The wind was knocked right out of me. The ray was so powerful that it flew me to the wall, leaving the wall crushed as I fell off and landed hard onto the ground, knocked out. I heard another giggle and a big crash... then everything was silent.
I had a strange dream... A dream this time with the same room and the little girl that I saw. She was on the left operating table, just lying there motionless. "What? Where is this? Is that.... Is that the little girl that I saw?... No... It's..." I kept thinking as I saw that little girl on the operating table. Then, A doctor slowly walked towards the operating table and began to ponder. I didn't get a good look at his face since he was facing the other way but, he looked familiar. " That doctor! Wait!" I thought again but the dream ended. I woke up on the hard wood floor and my gut had an unbearable pain. I stood up weakly and looked around for Eve but she was gone. " Dammit!" I cursed then held my gut in pain. Then a sudden small light surrounded me and the pain slowly faded away until it was gone. " Did... Did I just heal myself?" I thought. " Huh... Weird..." I mumbled softly. I came by the piano where Eve was before she turned into that creature. The piano keys were smashed beyond repair. " So... much power to do that?" I said to myself. By the side of the piano, there was another hole leading down to the sewers. "Where'd she go?" I wondered as I peeped into the black hole. " Here goes nothing..." I sighed and jumped down into the hole. I landed in waist deep sewage water and began to walk towards the other end. I saw the little girl again but this time she was crying. " ?! Hey your that little girl I saw at the theater! Are you lost?!" I asked with caution. She looked up at me with tears streaming down her cheeks and then ran towards the door on the left side. The little girl hurriedly pushed open the door. "Hey Wait! Little girl! Don't.... go...." I called out to her but she ran out. I chased after her but when I went past the door, she was nowhere to be seen again. " I hope she's ok..." I said to myself but I still worried about her yet, I wanted to know who she was. That girl looked so familiar. I walked all the way to the end where a gate was and a switch on the side of it. I pushed the switch and the gate opened. Inside that part of the sewers, Eve floated there in her creature like form waiting for me. It was basically a no way out room. On the far end where Eve was, had iron bars. EVE! Hold it right there!" I said as I ran towards her. I stopped right in front of her but my body started to get hot again. " M-My body's getting .... hot again!" I thought in a panic but my body was back to normal in a few moments. Eve only laughed and gave an evil look. " Aya's ready to take me on just by herself. Well, even if you did have more people with you, they'd just BURN right?! Everyone else except you... you.. are..." She said with a sinister voice. I started to get even more angry than before. " Tell me Eve! Why? ... Why me!? Why am I the only one?!" I shouted at her furiously. "You'll find out eventually.... Even if you don't understand... Don't worry... Your Mitochondria will... They've always known..." Eve said with a sneer. " I'm going to give you some time... Some time to think and some time to evolve... And the day shall arrive when you will.... AWAKEN... " she said and then turned to the iron bars that trapped her inside this area with me. She stared at her hands for a moment then It started to turn into a gel like substance. Soon, her whole body started to melt into gel and slid through the iron bars. The gel mushed up together and started to take the form of Eve. Eve shrieked and her features started to take place until her whole body was back to normal. Eve Turned around and waved to be goodbye as if I was supposed to die right after.
A sudden change in the water alerted me as I saw a fin of some sort poke out of the water. Armed with my gun, I waited until the unknown creature was to emerge from the water. Then the creature came out. Its skin was green and soft. It had unusual patterns on it and the strangest feature of it was, that it had no eyes. Its mouth was huge and contained many sharp, black teeth. Electricity surged between its teeth and it gave frightening growls but I stood my ground. It sensed my presence in the area and whipped its tail around. It hit my arm hard and I spun around, tossing my gun in the water. "Shit!" I cursed as I started to look for the gun frantically. It gave a loud roar and lashed its tail again but I managed to duck. I fell in the sewage water and quickly looked for my gun. The huge crock came slowly by me and slashed around with its huge claws. It slashed my back with a wild hit. "AHHHH!!!" I cried out in pain and finally felt my gun. I snatched it and ran out of the way. Dripping wet in sewage water, I desperately looked around for something to use against the monster. It roared and bellowed, trying to look for me. I knew that I would use all of my ammo just to take it down but it wouldn't be enough.
My gun was too weak and the crock was too big. "C'mon Aya... THINK!" A pipe that had 'CAUTION FLAMMABLE' caught my eye. "That's it!" I thought to myself. "HEY! OVER HERE YOU BASTARD!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Just as I thought, The crock fell for the bait. It started to charge towards me at a slow rate. "heh.." I snickered and waited for the right moment. Finally, the crock ran right next to the flammable pipe and I shot the pipe several times. Soon after, it exploded and a huge fire explosion swallowed the monster, slamming it into the other pipes. It roared and bellowed. It was a great plan but the fire started to spread quickly and I dove into the water just in time as the fire spread out all over the place and then disappeared. I surfaced the water and looked at the monster. It was engulfed in flames as it still struggled against it but the flames still continued to eat it alive. A few moments later, the mighty crocodile gave up and plunged into the water, burned to a crisp. I got up weakly again but that surrounding light cured me. Pissed off more than ever, I shouted to the top of my lungs. " WHEN WILL 'I' AWAKEN!? JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT EVE!!!"
I got out of the sewers and back into the Hall... I walked out of the front door where my backup was gone and a news reporter in a orange trench coat and a red bowtie stared at me in surprise.
He quickly ran up to me and shoved the microphone in my face. He made a hand motion to his cameraman and the red light turned on, signaling that it was rolling. " We're here like in front of Carnegie Hall which has become a scene of complete chaos!" He said to the camera. Then shoved the mic. into my face again. "Miss! You are the sole survivor of this horrible ordeal, CORRECT!?" He asked with so much curiosity seen in his face. He soon interrupted me and started to talk to the camera again. " Until now, this combustion theory has been acknowledged only by occult enthusiasts... " "Please... Just.... leave me alone..." I said irritatedly. "This incident happened to take place on... Christmas Eve, of all nights!" He said to the camera then turned to me. " I would like to represent the citizens of the city and interview you exclusively..." He said while a black man in a tan suit was walking up to him. The man coughed and the reporter turned around to only get a fist in his face. The reporter gave a yelp of pain as he landed on the ice cold floor. He rubbed his cheek that was now bruised and stared at the man in the tan suit. " A-Are you Crazy!?" He screamed at the man then turned to his cameraman. " Jim!? Did you get this on tape!?" He cried out. "Scram buddy!" The man smirked at the reporter. I was glad he did that and smiled at him wearily. " Daniel..." I said to the man in the tan suit. Daniel, the tall black man in the tan suit, was my partner in the NYPD. Everyone would always mention us as the father and daughter team but we're not related. We both got in the squad car, ready to take me home. Daniel had a concerned look on his face when he saw me. " Aya... are you OK? That was really something that happened back there..." He mentioned. "Yes... Oh but my date" I said with worry. I just hope that the guy didn't get himself killed. "Hah! Heard from a cop that your boyfriend ran outta there like a wuss! haha!" Daniel said, trying to cheer me up but seen the worried look on my face. " Err... sorry your date didn't go well...ahem..." I looked at him. " It's not like that! I had him escort me 'cuz he kept pestering me for a date" I protested. " Yeah but of all places... the opera?! Now there's a story! Ha! So why the opera? Is that the 'in' thing right now?" he teased. " Saw the ad in the paper.. I dunno.. It just caught my eye.." I shrugged. " Don't tell me you were onto this case!? haha.. so you finally got some instinct in ya huh?" he asked in suprisement. He reminded me about his 8 year old boy, Ben. "... Instinct?... Daniel, shouldn't you be with your son? It's Christmas Eve..." I asked. "He knows his dad's a cop... My boy understands... ANYWAY, to change the subject, I heard many things from people who were there... but this is one HELL of an incident huh?!" I turned to the window, tired. " Mitochondria... Mitochondria?.... Symbiosis?... When I was in the hospital?" I muttered to myself and slowly started to fall asleep. " Hey Aya.... You asleep? Oh well... Don't blame ya... after what you've been through tonight..." I heard him saying and I drifted off into a deep, dreamless sleep.
