Chapter 2 Tell Me Everything is OK

Allison walked up to the Biovolt tower that stood taller than anything else in the city of Moscow. She headed around the surveillance cameras and the guard dogs to the back of the building. She picked the lock of the fencing and slipped inside just as the guards changed positions.

She breathed a quick sigh of relief. She walked up the black flat shiny walls and ran her hands along it trying to find the opening. Her fingers slipped. She pulled back with a soft hiss and saw a thin line of blood appear on her finger. She had found the opening.

Pulling a black pouch out of her back pocket, she selected a thin credit card looking tool and slid it into the crack. Fiddling around for a bit the wall gave a soft creak and the door slid open. Alli breathed a sigh of relief and headed in, steeling herself. " Be brave." She chanted to herself under her breath. " Be brave."

Alli ran down the corridor. She threw open a random door and busted in. She stood there panting for a bit before tearing on down. Run, she had to run, get away! Her mind screamed at her to run faster. Tears pooled and she blinked them away. Shae was counting on her; she couldn't screw this up. It was not an option. Heading down a long flat of stairs, she reached the cells.

Glancing behind her to make sure no one was following, she disappeared in. " Shae?" She called out softly. " Shae?"

" Alli!" Shae's small face appeared from behind some bars. Tears and dirt streaked his cheeks. " Alli!" He began to cry.

" Shh," Alli hurried over and began to pick the lock. " I've got you. Have you seen mom?" Shae shook his head and threw himself into his sister's arms as soon as the door opened. " Ok Shae, it's ok now." She kissed his forehead. " Come on we've got to get out of here."

They headed through an opposing door and froze. None other than Boris and their mother, Silver Rye, were in the room. Silver was shackled to a chair and Boris had a nasty grin. His hand was on Silver's collarbone with the other holding a lock of her hair to his nose.

" Hello Allison, Shae," He greeted with amusement. " Oh Silver, say hello to your children. This is a happy family reunion isn't it?" Silver was crying silently with absolutely no will to fight back. " Oh but Brooklyn is gone and Alexion has abandoned you all."

" Shut up!" They stared at Alli. She had never one yelled at someone before this. " Shut up you sick…wicked b-bastard!" She yelled. " My father was a great man and Alexion would never abandon his family!"

Boris stepped away from Silver and over to Alli with Shae behind her, a familiar smirk still painted on his face. " Just say goodbye to your dear mother."

"Good-bye?" Both of the Kingston's echoed in confusions. As soon as the words left their mouth, the black room lit up. Machines began to run and a single large test tube lit up behind Silver. A human being was floating in green liquid. His eyes snapped open and he turned to look at them. They meet swirling silver eyes.

The tubes and IV connecting with him were ripped off. He punched the glass walls, shattering the glass tube he was grown in. Out dropped a man no more than 16. He had black hair that was naturally streaked violet in places. He reached out and punched a second time. Fist going right through Silver and ripping out her heart. Silver gasped and arched backward. She gazed at her two horrified children; so sorry they had to witness both parents' deaths. Tears streamed down her face. " I love you all." She whispered and slumped into the wooden chair. A single last breath rattled through her lungs. Silver Axis Rye was murdered on May 9th 2025.

Boris threw his head back and laughed. " Meet your half-brother…Brooker." Alli sunk to her knees and continued to stare blankly.

" Half-brother?" Shae chocked out. " That monster isn't my brother!"

Boris chuckled and made a sweeping gesture. " Brooker is from her mother and me." Both reared back in disgust. Their mother would to something like this? " You see all I need to do was take some of her eggs, combined them with me and science. Voila, Brooker. 16 years old, can speak 18 different languages, knows how to survive under any conditions, born to lead and kill. But above all, doesn't need emotions. A perfect child."

Alli struggled up and ran over. She hit Brooker with her small hand in the middle of his chest. Tears streamed down her cheeks unchecked. " You killed my mother!" She screamed in sorrow. " And your own mother." Brooker grabbed her wrist and stared down at her in confusion.

" What is…a mother?" He asked quizzically. He wiped her tears away and stared at the liquid on his figure in confusion. " Why are you crying?" Shae appeared and slammed his fist into Brooker's jaw, propelling him backwards and letting go of Alli.

" Don't ever touch her," He growled. For a 13 year old, Shae had a mean right hook. He grabbed Alli's arm and they ran. Alli turned to look at Boris and Brooker. Boris was yelling furiously for guards, but Brooker waved them off. Swirling silver met emerald green. A whisper seemed to speak into Alli's ear.

" I am sorry…" Something else was said but it was lost in the wind that whipped past their ears.

Shae and Alli came to a halt behind s truck. They lifted the sewer cover and dropped down into the water. Savitar Rye hurried over. "Good," He gave Shae a look over. " You guys are late, I thought something might have happened." He studied their faces. "What's wrong?" Savitar had blond hair that was streaked black in random places. Amber eyes looked at them with worry.

" Nothing," Shae chocked out and began his trek down himself. Alli followed him, ignoring her cousin's confused expression.

" Hurry!" Troy yelled from the door of the private jet. As soon as the 3 scrambled in, it took off. Alexion appeared out of the cockpit and embraced Shae them Alli.

" You didn't find mom?" The pair went silent. Acheron appeared from the cockpit and Shae grabbed Alli's shirt, burying his face into her stomach.

Alli ruffled his hair, trying to comfort him while dealing with her own pain. " We saw her Alexion." She used his full name and he knew something was wrong. The rest of the people took in a sharp breath. " Brooker murdered her."

" Murdered?" Troy echoed. " Murdered her? That's another one!" He cried out, wondering how he was going to tell the grown ups about this.

" Who's Brooker?" Acheron whispered out. His fists clutched tightly.

" Half brother," Shae moved his face from Alli's stomach. " He's Boris and mom's son." Everyone in the plane looked physically sick.

" No…" Alex shook his head, " She…she would really do that?"

" Start from the very beginning," Savitar ordered. Alli took a deep breath and began.
