After a week of cleaning and repairing the kitchen, Sam, Jesse and Brennan were finally done. Brennan and Jesse made it clear to Sam that she owed them big-time. Everything was pretty normal at Sanctuary except Adam seem to be a little odd and even a bit different. Adam doesn't seem to spend much time in his lab anymore and more time in the dojo training.
But one day, something really odd happened, Sam and I decided to work out with Adam. As we expected, he was training. We decided to watch and all of a sudden we saw Adam's eyes glow yellow as if he were a feral mutant. We were a little shocked because Adam is no new mutant because he created them. Sam jumped in and started to fight Adam because she wanted to see if he was a feral.
As she and Adam fought, I noticed Adam was becoming faster and more deadly every minute. Finally, Adam started to slow down and Sam saw this. She started slowing down as well. Then, Adam felt dizzy and started falling down. Sam used her power to slow Adam while he was falling and I jumped up and caught him. We brought Adam to his room. Apparently all that training and fighting with Sam tired him and he fainted.
When Adam was in his bed sleeping, Sam told me something very disturbing. When she was fighting Adam, the guy she was fighting wasn't Adam. She couldn't describe it but it was like someone had taken over Adam's body and made him fight. But that wasn't all, the real Adam emerged when he was worn out and then he fainted.
Then, I thought back to that night we were in Adam's room. I remember sensing another presence there. Sam and I decided not to tell anyone because that may worry them. So we only spoke of it at night when everyone was sleeping. After resting for one day, Adam woke up and was surprised to find himself on his bed. Sam and I were in his room watching him because it was our turn.
Shalimar, Jesse, Brennan, and Emma took turns watching yesterday. Adam asked us what happened and we told him he was training and he sparred a little with Sam. Then, he fainted and we brought him here. We also told him he was out the whole day yesterday and that everyone was in a way happy when they found out he fainted because he was finally getting some sleep.
Adam chuckled a little and said, "Why? Was I a little cranky?"
"No, but we all thought you needed some sleep because you were acting odd," replied Sam.
"Yeah, these few weeks you seemed different. We assumed that you were changing because lately, you haven't slept or even slept a little in these weeks," I said with a concerned tone.
"What do you do every night, Adam?" asked Sam who was becoming suspicious of Adam.
"Well, it is none of your damn business!" Adam replied with a smile.
"I think that maybe he goes around robbing houses!" I shouted, hoping it was true. "So, where do you hide all the money and jewels?"
"Probably under his bed!" shouted Sam. "That's why it's so bumpy and lumpy and he rolled off his bed."
"You were in my room?" asked Adam smiling.
"Uh, no," we said, looking up at the ceiling. "Why would we ever go into your room without your permission?"
"Uh, I don't know. Let me think," said Adam, pretending to be deep in thought. "What about for apparently no reason? But just for fun or seeing what I'm up to. Which you two love to do."
We gave him two guilty smiles and said, "What can we do? We're helpless to do anything against our deeds, it's just too tempting."
"Oh, well," said Adam, shrugging his shoulders. "You two have to watch what you do or you will get yourself in trouble. Oh, wait! You've already gotten into trouble before and now…..lots of times."
