“It’s alright honey, I know you’re scared.” Maxwell continued to comfort the girl.
“Dad?” She uttered once more reaching forward with trembling hands, tracing the outline of the man’s bearded face, tears uncontrollably rising in her eyes and falling along her cheeks… an indescribable feeling welling in her chest.
“It’s me little warrior, I’m here… dads’ here.”
“Dad!” Marcel excitedly shouted in a hoarse voice, throwing herself into the warm embrace of her father, fin

“Dad…” Marcel cautiously called out to the agitated man a few minutes later; certainly they could not continue in this manner… her silently questioning the meaning of his words and him clearly panicking with almost all the answers flustering in his brain. However, hearing the soft tender voice calling out to him with worry and care, Maxwell instantly ceased his actions of pacing back and forth, yet his body was uncontrollably shivering in fear… perhaps struggling to connect the series of events replaying over and over in his confused state of mind. “Wh… what experiment is Victor Ambrose doing at Acre Hills?” The girl mustered up the courage to ask despite dreading the response, thinking that if a grown man who had suffered all sort of hardship in his fifty something years of life was this shaken up by what had possibly happene
SOUL BOUND TRUE MONSTER.
“This is your last chance! Tell me where the Rayburn girl is!” A grumpy police official in his mid-forties, aggressively pound his fist against the small wooden desk at the center of the interrogation room, hoping to scare the young man tightly handcuffed to the table and firmly seated on the opposite side. Judging from his appearance the boy could already guess that he was not a simple man to deal with. He was neatly attired with his name tag ‘Bradford Watts 6321’and noticeably decorated with three red stripes on the shoulder of his brownish cream uniform indicating his high level of authority. Surely he was there seeking results. “Like I said, I don’t know where she is!” Nate huffed irritably, his heart burning with rage at the thought of how quickly things have escalated. For the pa
SOUL BOUND MISSING VIALS.
“No! You can’t do this!” Even when pushed into a corner, Nate refused to accept defeat, fighting with every last bit of energy he could muster up; kicking and crazily shaking his body desperately trying to avoid his fate. Unfortunately, in the end he was no match for the others. His already handcuffed hands were further held in place while his head was forcefully shoved against the table allowing Victor to administer the unknown substance with ease. “That’s enough, you can release him… take the cuffs off. He’s not going anywhere.” “Are you sure? What if he’s faking it?” “We can’t have him causing a scene, people with get suspicious.” Nate could clearly hear the group of men disc
SOUL BOUND WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?
As much as it pained him to utter a single word from within… recognizing the two motionless figures for the persons they were… Nate nonetheless felt a measure of relief knowing that both women were very much alive for the time being. From a quick glace it was obvious that Ruby and Betty’s eyes held a similar sense of anguish… perhaps the kind he was now experiencing, but they were forced to endure over a longer period of time. In such a dire state it would be truly difficult if not nearly impossible for one to escape relying solely on his own will power; for neither his body nor his mind would be able to withstand the devastation. It was literally unbearable to even ‘think’ of seeking freedom.*********** “Show me the recording for the past few hours, starting from the second
SOUL BOUND LISTEN.
“Are you one hundred percent sure that this tape is accurate? did someone alter the video? Yes! That must be it… get me the original recording now!” Victor hysterically demanded in disbelief, sprinting to his feet and angrily grabbing hold of the guard’s uniform; clearly he was in denial seeing the familiar figure. “I swear Master… this… is…” “No! It can’t be! He’s dead… the dead cannot steal from the living! Someone else must be responsible!” No matter what, he needed a logical explanation. Even though he was a despicable doctor that saw his position as an opportunity to fuel his evil plans of manipulating and controlling the population by treating them as random test subjects to choose from, driving them to the point of insanity knowing full w
SOUL BOUND "WHAT IF?"
“Wait! how… I… this…there’s no way I can fight against that monster all by myself! He… he has an army of doctors and nurses and as far as we know the police… could be involved; in fact the whole town… might very well be used by him… without realizing it.” Marcel stammered unwillingly, not only because of fear but for the simple reason of being outnumbered and pressured. “The people of this town are temporarily blinded by his lies, if you don’t stop him now… then it’s the end... not just for those held here, but think of all those being deceived or our neighboring villages… what will happen if some of the bodies can’t endure the trial phase? Do you really think he’s going to quit seeking hosts? No! I’ve seen what he’s capable of… Marcel… he has to be stopped… you have to do this.” Mike trie
SOUL BOUND SAFEST PLACE.
“What are you saying? Am… am I in that place? Is… is this Acre Hills?” Marcel asked nervously, finally taking note of the layout of the space around her. Although she could have guessed at first glance from the furnishing of the tiled floors, well insulated ceiling, air vents and custom made hospital bedding, the girl merely thought that it was an old facility of some sort… surely she hadn’t expected her ghostly brother to be so bold as to bring her directly into the lion’s den. “It… was best… to bring you here… now… rather… than… later.” Mike struggled to explain, his figure glitching with every word. “But how did you get in? Victor must have guards covering every inch of this place. It’s not safe here at all! He&rsq
SOUL BOUND INESCAPABLE FATE.
“Ha! Now my beloved vapor is stolen… and let me guess, the dead Rayburn boy is responsible.” Much to their surprise, Victor sneered mockingly instead of lashing out angrily. “The… recording… was altered.” Rose informed in a slightly quivering tone. This time there was no denying it, the video clip clearly glitched and the dozens of containers seemingly vanished into thin air. “What does this have to do with the boy? He’s been dead for almost three months now, I’m sure of it.” Bradford commented, fully aware of the past events… this particular test subject only remembered by the accomplices because of his unique genes and the current issue as oppose to the others that were simply listed as trial cases without an actual ID. “Deputy, do you believe

An unknown amount of time later… “Ahh! My head… what the f*** just happened to me?” Victor gasped for breath in a daze as if emerging from a suffocating nightmare… coughing several times as he struggled to lift his weak limbs off the titled office floors trying to ease the unbearable pain hammering away at his very bones… his heavy eyes lids almost sealing shut… squinting with thin layers of dried blood trailing along his haggard face, his dark orbs desperate for the sight of light and the call of reality… red droplets of stains on his once white lab coat further adding disgust to the monster’s miserable state. Just a while ago he was no doubt on the verge of going mad with power, determined to kill any and every one standing in his way. But now… was he being forced into accepting defeat without having the slightest idea who his true rival was all along? “The question is not… what ‘has’… but what ‘will’… happen to you.” A strange voice echoed around him, yet almost
SOUL BOUND HIS EYES...
“The Depository? But Master she’s our first test subject for the luminary drug trial and the host carrying the antigen to suppress the side effects; we might still need her to keep the others alive.” One of the doctors anxiously expressed his concerns hearing Victor’s command and seeing the girl being placed on another available wheeled bed ready to be taken to her death. “We have the old man and enough patients in the building to form my army; once the process is completed I’ll move ahead as planned.” His brief statement no doubt made those assisting him quite stunned and lost for words as it instantly occurred to them that their leader was perhaps now seeking a different course of action… one contradicting their original beliefs. “What about the villagers… our family…
SOUL BOUND CRUEL.
“No! Don’t touch me! Stay away from me you monster!” Marcel defensively screamed, frantically retreating a few steps, bumping into nearby carts and patients’ bed dreadful of the outcome awaiting them all. Indeed, reality had proven to be far more terrifying than expectations and ones’ own imagination. Maybe she too had underestimated the situation; there was no time to reason, reduce the impact or to create another distraction… it was happening right now whether or not they were truly prepared for the consequences. “Get her!” Victor demanded sullenly, standing in place watching her squirm about in obvious protest, yet he was in no mood to relish the scene… his tolerance was already worn thin. “Leave me alone!” The girl struggled in anxiousness as a guard quickly grabbed hold of her han
SOUL BOUND ENOUGH!
“Hey! Be careful… don’t hurt her.” Nate angrily fought to break free from the guards hold as the men rushed forward almost immediately after noticing them a few steps ahead. Though they were ready to put an end to all this… to finally confront the vindictive doctor, that didn’t necessarily mean that they would allow themselves to be harassed without putting up a fight… well, at least the boy wasn’t about to let them injure his girlfriend. However, Marcel simply rolled her eyes at his exaggerating remarks wondering to herself… ‘What did he expect… that they would spread out a red carpet and escort them politely? For heaven sake, they were possibly being led to their deaths, this wasn’t some award ceremony… and besides, how fragile did he really think she was? “Shut
SOUL BOUND LOUD.
“Oh crap!” the girl blurted out, immediately recognizing the owner of the voice despite the grumbling sound of static frequency announcing his every word from the other side of the small funnel shaped speakers fixed just a few inches below the white reflective pvc ceiling stationed throughout the building. “If I’m not mistake, Nathaniel Estefan should be right beside you at this moment.” Victor paused then emphasized in a casual manner… “Don’t worry… the more… the merrier.” No doubt the duo was rather confused by his reaction. ‘Shouldn’t he boiling with anger or at least a tad bit hostile?’ Marcel glanced at Nate with a look of uncertainty, her questioning thoughts easily understood by the young man. “I’m sure he’s pissed.”
SOUL BOUND HIS PERSONALITY.
Staring at the personification of pure evil standing right before them, neither woman could cry out in fear, anger or agony even if they wanted to, for their mental battle was not one they could easily overcome at will. “Don’t give me that look; I’m only trying to help.” Victor spoke yet again with a fake expression of pity and concern that could not be disguised as he found a sense of excitement seeing the two innocent souls in such a miserable state. “Then again… blood is always the most important thing and that is… something I’m willing to kill for.” He continued… his prospective obviously differing on a whole other level than what those words would have meant to any other sane individual. “Now I can’t possibly ask you to abandon them in their times of need&hell
SOUL BOUND NO MORE HIDE AND SEEK...
Since the remaining M-TIFY containers were nowhere near their reach, the only other logical explanation Victor could come up with was that… ‘Something must have happened in the control room’… as to when exactly it all started, he had no clue. But if it was before the fumes had run its course, then they truly had no idea where the girl could be at this precise moment... everything could very well be a fabricated scenario this time around. Thankfully, when it came to Maxwell he was indeed right where the cameras placed him. ‘What are they planning to do now? Why leave the old man behind after all the trouble they went through to find him?’ “Master, should we also send someone to the cold storage area?” Bradford’s words interrupted the man’s internal reasoning realizing that he had neither disconnected the call nor said an
SOUL BOUND SILENT.
Flashback ends**** “I think it worked, he wouldn’t be able to see us for at least a few minutes.” Nate let out a loud breath of relief, closing the door behind them. “Yeah, until he figures out what we’ve done.” Marcel mumbled worriedly, choosing not to ask what actually happened to the motionless guards leaned against each other lifelessly like a sack of potatoes; assuming that the boy must have sneaked up on them while they busy squinting into the monitors and easily knocked them out cold or maybe they were already asleep and all he had to do was hit their heads together really hard… of course this was only her imagination. “With all that you’ve done I’m sure he has another outlet to constantly spy on us and if he realizes something is up with the images, this will be the firs
SOUL BOUND RATIONALITY.
“Master, should we wait and see what she’s up to?” One of the officer asked thinking that the man, just as before would prefer to observe the bothersome girl from afar, afraid of being led into a trap. “Wait?” Victor’s blood boiled in anger at the mere thought of letting her roam freely for another minute, yet he did not intend on acting rashly. “Get the father first and make sure the women are ready for testing… I will personally accommodate these two.” He added, all the while remaining focused on the monitor in fron
