It had been years since she started this damned project of hers... And she'd finally got part of it right at least.
Finally she'd been able to clone the beast from the skin samples she took from him. The beast was tame in a sense. He'd look at her...act humanely towards her. When she entered the cell, he'd remain sitting, not even attempting to hurt her, though he most likely could.
It had been a real bitch- a true bitch to get his memories back. Of course cloning the flesh was hard, but not that difficult once she got the correct components down.
Making him remember was a bit harder. Since there were no memories inside of him. It was Matt's body- not his mind. She took old videos from the hive, and played them over and over for him, imprinting them in his mind.
She recorded her voice onto tapes that played every night when he was asleep, telling him what had happened, his past before the hive, everything that happened to him in the hive, and such.
She entered in another security code on a number pad, and entered the room with the beast, who was sitting on a large metal surface. The cell was alright, but had to be built to suit a 2 ton monster. Instead of sleeping in a bed, there was a special case built into the wall, that was a sleep chamber, sort of like the ones used on space shuttles.
There was a metal surface for him to sit, and there were pictures of what he looked like, and one of her as well.
He looked at her, making a soft breathey sigh.
"What is my name?" she said, as she pulled out a chair that she kept when she wanted to visit him, sitting it infront of him and straddling it, resting her arms on the back of the chair.
"Ahhhliiiice." he responded, his voice shaking the room.
"And who are you?"
"Maaahttttt." he replied once more.
Alice smiled, "You're getting so much better...Soon Matt, I promise...I'm so close to coming up with a formula that can change the mutated cells back to normal, I promise..."
He did another breathless sigh, and inclined his head slightly.
Slowly she dragged the chair back to the side, and looked at him, "I'm going to start working on it again, do you want anything?"
"Nooooo..." he rumbled once more.
She nodded, and left the cell, shutting the door and pulling on a white labcoat going to another room in the lab.
Pulling a metal rod a metal box, she set it on the countertop.
"Here we go, experiment Number six hundred and thirty two..." she shook her head and bit her lip before getting serious again. Pulling a small glass tube from the rod, she took the cap off, and dumped a tiny piece of something or other into a little glass dish and took another blue tube, and spilled a bit of liquid onto it.
She looked at her watch and sat down off to the side, resting her chin on her hand and sighing.
Alice couldn't count how many times she cried in desperation of the situation...how many times she almost gave up.
But whenever she opened the lab door and saw Matt waiting for her...she just got so cheerful, and that gave her the hope she needed to keep going and continue in this wicked trial.
Closing her eyes, Alice sighed. She'd just rest her eyes for a minute or two...
Darkness enveloped her, as she dreamed of Matt and her, together. They were in her shower, upstairs...he was normal again, in his human body with those gorgeous blue eyes.
Her hands worked quickly to pull off his shirt, running them up the front of his bare chest.
He bent his head, locking lips with her and entwining his tongue with hers, working to get her pants off.
They'd suceeded in pulling eachother's clothing off, and had took it into the shower, Alice pressed into the wall by Matt.
He held her hands together above her head with one of his hands, the other exploring her body as they kissed.
And That's when the shower door opened to reveal Carlos. Standing there in a fit of anger, "Alice! How could you! Who the Fuck is that!"
"Carlos...Please you've got to understand, I don't love you-" but she stopped, eyes widening as Carlos turned into a beast.
A wicked monster who grabbed Matt away from her, tearing large gaping holes into Matt's arm, and then he disappeared.
"Matt! Matt are you alright!" Alice ran to his side, kneeling beside him as he held his arm.
"Yeah I thi- AGHHH!" he screamed out in pain, his body writhing.
"Matt!" she screamed, trying to steady him.
His screams of agony deepened, as his body changed...changed back into what awaited her every day. Changed into what she saw when she opened the door.
Alice's eyes flew open as she sat up quickly, panting. "Matt..."
She looked around, and realized she'd fallen asleep waiting. Looking down at her watch she cursed, "Shit! It shouldn't have stayed on that long!"
Scrambling to her feet she hurried to the counter- and took the piece out, transferring it to a clear built in piece of glass on the countertop. She lifted a small tab from the counter, which opened up into a computer screen.
Pulling out a little drawer with a keyboard resting on it, she hurriedly scanned the experiment.
Waiting for a minute as the computer processed the action, she rubbed at her temple- and when she looked up again she could feel herself slipping...
"Analysis : 100 Human Cell" Was all that the Computer screen read...
