Slowly, two hazel eyes opened.
A dirty-blonde girl looked around to find herself in unfamiliar surroundings. "Where am I?"
A man came into her view. Leoben, a little voice in the back of her mind told her, even though she'd never seen him before in her life. "Welcome home, Lachel," he said. To his right, another girl came into view. Somehow, Lachel knew she was staring at a mirror of herself.
"Erin…" A small, perhaps dangerous smile crossed her face, and instantly made her 'sister' uneasy. Their history had not been forgotten.
"I trust that you two will play nice," Leoben told them. "It is regrettable that your experiment did not produce the desired results, but we will try again. We still have a more important objective to achieve, another child to bring home. This time we will not fail."
Erin smiled up at the man that had treated her like a daughter since she'd awoken. "By your command," she told him. Lachel felt like something else was also waking up inside her, now that she'd regained consciousness. She didn't like it.
"By your command," she echoed her 'sister' without really being sure why. And she knew things would never be the same again.
Fin.
Unless I do a sequel...I'm considering it.
