WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56As 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.

“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
SOUL BOUND PRESSED FOR TIME.
A short time later…. “Are you absolutely sure this is going to work?” Marcel whispered lowly to the shadowy figure inches in front of her. “It has to.” Mike responded sternly, peering into the distance up ahead as several nurses busied themselves in and out of a particular highly guarded room, anxiety and worry easily seen from their facial expression. “What’s the matter, why are they in a rush?” The girl nervously observed the situation, finding it rather strange that the usually calm and silent surrounding would appear to be this chaotic. “I’m guessing Victor isn’t too pleased… he must know by now the vials and oxygen tanks are missing.” “Shit! Does that mean he
SOUL BOUND STAY CALM...
“What’s happening down here? Why did the fire alarm suddenly go off?” Victor questioned suspiciously, approaching the entrance of the restricted testing zone talking to his most trusted officer in charge, while the surrounding medical staffs were still nervously gathered there, but now afraid of even whispering words of concern seeing that the master had arrived. “Someone must have triggered it… the ways things are going; I won’t be surprised if it’s that Rayburn girl and whoever her accomplice is.” Bradford worriedly expressed. Apparently, after the echoing sound went off, Bradford wasted no time rushing to the floor where it originated from, well aware that if there was an actual fire, then his security team and him would have been the first persons to receive the alert notification, the director would be cont
SOUL BOUND CAN'T LEAVE...
“Get out of the way!” Victor angrily strode forward, shoving the few gathered nurses aside. Evidently, some of the medical staffs were the first ones to realize what had happened… obviously caught off guard by the sight of the three to four lifeless yet familiar bodies lying silently on separate beds among the ‘others’. Unlike the appearance of the usual test subjects, these motionless figures looked as if they were sound asleep with their eyes sealed shut and no wires or tubes whatsoever connected to them… Surely they weren’t lazily napping on the job. “These are nurses! Why are they here? Where are the patients?” The frantic master demanded, his initial cause for concern quickly rising once again. Though he wasn’t absolutely certain, sin
SOUL BOUND "GOOD BYE...."
“The question is… can you… live with that… decision?” Mike didn’t intend on wasting too much effort in lecturing his sister, yet a few simple words were enough to explain what was meant. Could anyone live a peaceful life after abandoning those in desperate need of rescuing? Surely not… especially when it came to her. Guilt had a way of eating into her inner conscious, whether or not she would be directly at fault… it ultimately did not matter. Marcel was known to have a strong sense of accountability and after what had happened to Mike… the circumstances surrounding his death; the girl was even more cautious of her actions to some extent. “That’s not fair! Why can’t we just take those already saved and let them help us testify to the public? Then Victo

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

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
