Chapter 27 Sam
I throw my father against the wall. He grunts and tries to move me but fails. I look into the room and see them floating in a murky brown liquid. All of them naked but someone's put a covering around the bottom half of the pods but still Ella blushes. Suddenly the one with Five labelled on opens its eyes and lashes a hand out towards the glass. Its eyes are almost black filled with no feeling.
"Clones?" I say my voice filled with hurt.
"I'm sorry Sam, I had to." He replies, he tries to move again but I keep him suspended in the air. Six and Marina walk and look cautiously at the clones of me for their numbers.
"You didn't have to do anything! All these years I thought you were abducted but you left with them willingly. Why dad?" He sighs and rubs his eyes.
"I had to. They threatened your lives when you were growing up. Under the great book of Ra, Mogadorians aren't meant to have children with humans or Loric but I fell in love with your mother." I gently put him down on the ground, my anger deflated. "I defected to help the Loric. They were sympathetic of me and promised to help keep you and your mother safe when you were growing up. Sadly the Mogadorians attacked before I could warn them of Setrakus."
My head spins and I feel woozy. More of the clones are waking up now and are lashing out against the glass. The liquid inside begins to turn to a clear blue liquid. Six suddenly spins around, fury in her eyes.
"You knew about him attacking Lorien and you warned no one!?" She shouts. Suddenly my father is launched against the wall by an invisible force.
"If I didn't warn them when I did, none of you wouldn't have got off Lorien!" He yells back. He is dropped to the ground with a loud thump.
"How did you know about Setrakus if you defected?" Marina asks, I see her hand slide down towards her hunting knife on her belt. I turn to my father and see his head drop and his eyes stare at his feet.
"Before Setrakus rose to power, we grew up together in the same clan. We were friends once-" He hesitates on the word friends "before he changed. I told him about Sam being born and he had a special interest in him. He made sure I escaped if he could keep an eye on Sam. In return he always told me of what was going on Mogadore. He didn't know I associated with the Loric as well."
"You were friends with him?" I say coldly. Malcolm doesn't look into my eyes. Suddenly moments in my life make sense. I always thought I heard people outside when I was sleeping, maybe they were Mogadorians sent to spy on me by Setrakus Ra.
Mt father goes to look to his computer quickly and his eyes widen.
"No…"
"What?" Ella asks.
"The stone worked…" he says quietly. I walk past him and look at his computer screen. I see a cell similar to mine with a girl lying on the ground and a guy rubbing her head gently. I look closer and recognise who they are.
"Five." Malcolm suddenly launches through his desk throwing papers everywhere. He grabs something and thrusts it into the palm of Marina's hand and whispers something to her.
My father's belt suddenly beeps. He runs over to a wall and moves some boxes to reveal a secret room.
"Get in now!" he says firmly. We hesitate. "Please, I've made mistakes but I'm on your side." His voice cracks a little and I see sadness in his eyes. I want to hug him and forgive him but I can't, not yet anyway. We bundle into the small room. It's completely pitch black and only a beam of light makes it through into the room. Marina's breath starts to quicken and Adam and Ella try to calm her down.
"It's going to be fine, Marina. Just breathe slowly and focus on what's ahead not the room." He whispers. I suddenly realise Marina may be claustrophobic and could give us away. Her breaths start to shorten and I hear footsteps in the room followed by loud grunting.
"Take them to storage they need to be equipped when being assigned." A voice says. "You've really outdone yourself this time."
I hear my father's voice. "Yes there modelled after experiment Zero. Not as powerful but still strong." He replies awkwardly. I hear more vats being carried away.
"You mean the failed experiment Zero?"
"He didn't fail. He simply rebelled."
"Well let's see if the Sword of the Mogadorian race can choose the right side. Also Setrakus wants to see you. Now." He says.
"But, but…" my father stammers.
"Now. The other Mogadorian says, This is followed by a cruel laughing. The footsteps stop and I hear a door close. I wait two minutes and the eerie silence continues. Six suddenly readjusts herself to face the door. Suddenly the door flies off its hinges and slides along the floor. We all clamber out and see that the vats have been taken away leaving a bare wall.
I march towards the door. "I have to see my father. Are you coming or not?"
Marina steps forward. "The rest of the Garde are trapped in the cells below. Me, Adam and Ella are getting them out." Adam and Ella kind of look relieved that there going with Marina.
"In that case I'm going with you on one condition." Six says to me.
"What's that?" I ask cautiously.
"I get first shot at Setrakus." I smile in relief and nod my head.
"Deal."
We each sneak out of the door and turn to each other and give each other hugs. I try not to think it could be our last.
"Be careful. We'll meet up again and take out Setrakus together." Six says with confidence and even I feel myself get more confident. Six holds my hand and I look down to my feet and see nothing. We start to jog off towards my father dodging Mogadorian patrols.
We're coming for you Setrakus and we are prepared. I think to myself.
