Chapter 8: Shocking turn of events

"I...I thought you were dead!" Wheatly yelled

"Thats what I wanted you all to think, moron. I couldn't let any of you try to interfere with my plans" Cave said

"But...I don't understand. Why did you stay in GLaDOS all these years?" Chell asked

"I was bidding my time" Cave sighed "And, after I learned that you were still alive Chell, I couldn't start my plan"

"Why would I be stopping you?"

"Well for one, you would stop me as easy as you stopped Caroline" Cave said "So, I had to wait for you to escape before I could destroy this place!"

'But you own the facility" Wheatly pointed out "Why would you destroy it?"

"After the incident Caroline caused, it was no longer MY facility" Cave growls "Since she was connected to the facility, I could get revenge on her and stop this facility forever. She could never rebuild herself."

"So...you're doing all this...just to kill me...?" GLaDOS asked

"Yes" He laughs. He can hear GLaDOS' voice strain "Oh, no need to cry Caroline. Once you're dead, you can finally rest at peace...just like all of my employees you killed!"

"I'm...i'm sorry..." GLaDOS sobbed

"That's enough!" Chell yelled "I don't care WHO you are, there is no need for you to make GLaDOS cry like that!"

"Do you really know that little?" Cave growled at Chell's tone "I can talk to her HOWEVER I want! She is responsible for everything that has happened...some wife she is". That made Chell's jaw drop

"She's your..."

"You two were married!?" Wheatly yelled "How come I was never told this when I was read the rules. 'Oh, and by the way, i'm the ex wife of our creator!' That is information you need to tell your bots about!"

"Shut up!" Cave yelled as a robotic arm slapped Wheatly across the room.

"Ow!"

"Wheatly!" Chell exclaimed

"I'm okay..."

"And yes, she was my wife." Cave glared back at Chell

"You are a HORRIBLE man!" Chell punched the screen, cracking it. "Who do you think you are. She said she's sorry!"

"Chell...don't"

"What do you even plan to do once the facility is destroyed!?" Chell punches the screen again, but she is picked up in a robotic claw and is brought face to face with Cave

"Whatever...I...want" He laughs "I will rebuild it all into the PERFECT facility! The whole world will by my test subject! And nothing will stop me! Especially not you. I don't care HOW special you are to her"

"What do you mean...?"

"What do I mean..?" He laughs harder then ever "Caroline...you mean you never told her the truth?"

"What truth? What is he saying, GLaDOS?" Chell looks at her watch

"Please...don't tell her" GLaDOS begged

"She has a right to know, does she not?" Cave laughed "Chell..." He stared at both of them with a sharp glare, as if he was looking trough their very being

"Caroline is your mother"
