Beverly stood there, trembling beneath those lights.Her father watched her with frightened eyes.Nobody dared to move closer toward Beverly.Even Wilson seemed unusually quiet for once.Then Beverly heard that little girl's voice.They took something important from you.She closed her eyes and breathed slowly.“What did they take from me?”The voice answered softly inside her mind.Everything that made you remember.Beverly opened her eyes again immediately afterward.“That doesn't make any sense.”Adrian stepped closer toward her carefully.“It will eventually make sense.”Beverly looked toward him with frustration.“Everyone keeps saying that tonight, Adrian.”Wilson nodded from somewhere behind Reika.“Honestly, it's becoming extremely irritating.”Reika immediately looked toward him sharply.“Please don't encourage this situation.”“I wasn't encouraging anything.”“You were agreeing with the supernatural voice.”Wilson paused briefly before answering.“When you say it like that,

Beverly screamed when the darkness swallowed everyone.Her scream echoed through the enormous underground chamber.Then someone grabbed her hand tightly again.She immediately knew exactly who it was.Adrian whispered, “Beverly, stay close to me.”Davion stepped forward through complete darkness.“Let her go right now, Adrian.”Adrian immediately tightened his grip around Beverly's hand.“She doesn't belong with you anymore, Davion.”Beverly frowned deeply after hearing those strange words.“What exactly does that even mean, Adrian?”Neither brother answered her immediately afterward.Wilson suddenly whispered from somewhere nearby.“Can someone please turn those lights back?”Reika answered from somewhere behind him immediately.“Wilson, stop complaining and find your weapon.”“I dropped my weapon during the screaming.”“You had a pipe, Wilson.”“Exactly, and that pipe was emotionally important.”Reika sighed loudly in complete frustration.“This is why nobody takes you seriously.”A

Beverly stared at Elias without blinking once.The chamber suddenly felt impossibly small around them.Her heartbeat sounded louder than every alarm.“My brother?” Beverly finally whispered, completely confused.Elias looked away from her immediately afterward.“Your brother wasn’t supposed to exist anymore.”Beverly’s eyebrows pulled together in disbelief immediately.“That sentence makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.”Wilson nodded nervously from behind Reika immediately.“Finally, something tonight sounds completely normal.”Reika turned toward him with murderous eyes.“Wilson, please stop making everything worse.”“I wasn’t trying to make things worse.”“You have a special talent for accomplishing that.”Wilson looked genuinely offended by her accusation.“That feels unnecessarily personal, Reika.”Beverly barely heard their argument anymore though.She kept watching Elias with growing suspicion.“You said he was mine.”Elias nodded slowly without meeting her eyes.“Your biologi

Beverly couldn’t remember how breathing worked. Every breath suddenly felt unfamiliar and frightening. Something inside her had just spoken clearly. Worse, that voice sounded exactly like hers. Davion stared at Beverly with growing concern. “Beverly, tell me what happened inside.” She swallowed hard before answering him slowly. “She spoke to me again just now.” Wilson immediately stepped farther away from Beverly. Reika noticed and immediately frowned at him. “Why are you moving away, Wilson?” Wilson looked genuinely offended by her question. “Because something lives inside her, Reika.” “That doesn’t mean Beverly suddenly became dangerous.” “You didn’t hear the voice, apparently.” Beverly looked toward Wilson with confusion. “You heard her too?” Wilson’s expression became completely serious immediately. “No, I heard nothing whatsoever, actually.” “Then why are you acting terrified?” “Because your face suddenly looked different.” Beverly touched her face with trembl

Beverly stared at the older man silently.Nobody moved after his terrifying confession.The silence felt heavier than the smoke.Davion remained beside Beverly, completely frozen there.His eyes never left his father’s face.Beverly touched her chest with trembling fingers.Something inside her seemed strangely awake now.She could feel something moving beneath everything.Not physically, but somehow deeper than that.It felt like another heartbeat inside her.“What did you put inside me?”Beverly repeated those words much more firmly.Her father’s expression became noticeably colder then.“You were never supposed to remember anything.”Beverly’s stomach twisted painfully after hearing that.Davion stepped forward with his weapon raised.“You’re going to answer her questions.”His father looked at Davion without fear.“You still think you’re protecting her.”Davion’s jaw tightened immediately after hearing that.“What exactly am I protecting her from?”His father glanced toward Beverl

For several seconds, nobody said anything.Beverly stared at the words painted across the doorway.HE IS COMING FOR HER.There was something particularly irritating about being threatened by someone who apparently had access to an underground facility, thousands of hidden systems, classified memories, dead people who were not actually dead, and enough technology to make Wilson look like he was about to personally sue the universe.Wilson was the first to break.“I hate this place.”Reika looked at him.“You’ve said that about six times.”“And every single time I’ve been correct.”Beverly was still staring at the doorway.“Who is he?”Nobody answered.She turned around.“Who is coming for me?”Davion’s jaw tightened.“Beverly—”“No.”She held up a hand.“No more telling me to stay behind you, no more telling me you’ll explain later, and absolutely no more standing around looking like somebody just mentioned a family secret at dinner.”Wilson slowly raised his hand.Beverly glared at hi
