Chapter 30: The Child Buried Before Us
“The real Subject Zero is the child I buried before either of you was born.”Lyra Voss's words had barely left her mouth when the entire chamber began to collapse. Fred felt the floor buckle beneath his boots as cracks raced through the black stone, splitting the ancient surface into jagged pieces. Golden chains snapped overhead, releasing suspended doors that plunged into the darkness below, while the original staggered backward and clutched his chest as the light beneath his translucent skin flickered violently.“No!” the original roared.The force of his voice shattered the nearest doors, sending splinters of enchanted wood spinning across the chamber. One fragment struck Fred's shoulder and cut through his uniform, but he barely noticed the pain because his attention remained fixed on the sealed white door. Through the narrow opening, he could still see Lyra's pale hand trembling against the other side.“What child?” Fred demanded. “You told us there were two versions of me. You t
Chapter 29: The Original Who Wanted His Life Back
“Fred, don't let him touch the door!”Lyra's desperate scream came too late to stop what happened next. The golden figure standing behind the white door thrust one hand through the opening, and the entire chamber convulsed as though an enormous force had struck its foundations. Suspended doors slammed against one another, filling the darkness with the deafening clang of breaking metal, while cracks spread across the glass-like floor beneath Fred's feet.Fred barely managed to turn before an invisible wave of force struck his chest and hurled him across the chamber. His shoulder hit the floor first, followed by his head, sending a burst of pain behind his eyes. Although his vision blurred, he forced himself to look up.The stranger who had dragged him into the chamber was kneeling before the opening, his golden eyes fixed on the approaching figure.“You were sealed,” the stranger whispered, his voice trembling with disbelief. “You cannot return.”The figure stepped closer, and the gold
Chapter 28: The Thing That Claimed His Body
The hand emerging from beneath the shattered platform seized Fred by the ankle and dragged him toward the bottomless darkness.“Run!” Professor Vale shouted.He thrust both hands forward and hurled a sphere of silver magic toward the broken floor, hoping to sever the creature's grip. However, the spell struck an invisible barrier and exploded before reaching its target. The backlash hurled Vale against the chamber wall, leaving him gasping as sparks of silver light scattered across his robes.Mira lunged toward Fred and caught his wrist just as the creature pulled him over the platform's edge.Fred screamed when the rough stone scraped against his back. He clawed desperately at the platform, searching for a crack or loose fragment he could use to hold himself in place, but the black markings covering his arms flared whenever his fingers touched the ground. Each burst of darkness weakened his grip, allowing the creature to drag him another inch toward the opening.“Fred, hold on!” Mira
Chapter 27: The Boy Who Answered to Two Names
“Which one of us do you want me to be?”Mira could not answer. The boy standing before her wore Fred’s face, possessed his brother’s golden eyes, and carried a smile that belonged to neither of them. Something about the way he watched her made her feel as though two different people were staring through the same pair of eyes, each waiting for the other to lose control.The shattered platform trembled beneath his feet as black markings crawled up his neck. Every remaining light in the underground chamber flickered, casting distorted shadows across the walls, while the damaged console released a shower of sparks. Professor Vale struggled to rise beside the broken machinery, but when he finally looked into Fred’s eyes, his movements stopped abruptly.“Everyone, get away from him!” Vale shouted.Mira refused to retreat. Despite the magical pressure building around the boy, she forced herself to step forward, keeping her gaze fixed on the face she had come to recognize.“Fred, look at me.
Chapter 26: The Brother Living Inside Him
“Hello again, Fred.”The voice inside Fred's chest sounded exactly like his brother's, but before Fred could respond, the creature wearing Lyra Voss's face burst into laughter. The sound shattered the remaining golden fragments suspended in the air, sending them spinning toward Fred like sharpened glass.Mira threw herself between Fred and the attack, raising a blue shield just as the fragments struck. Each impact forced her backward, and cracks began spreading across the protective barrier.“Fred, whatever is inside you, fight it!” she shouted.Fred clutched his chest, struggling to breathe as two heartbeats pounded beneath his ribs. One belonged to him, while the other was slower and heavier, accompanied by the terrifying sensation of something enormous pressing against the walls of his body.Don't listen to her, his brother warned from within him. She's trying to make you surrender.Fred stared at the creature wearing his mother's face. “You said my brother died.”“I told you your
Chapter 25: The Mother Behind the Monster
Fred struck the edge of the underground platform hard enough to drive the air from his lungs. Before he could recover, golden chains wrapped around his wrists and dragged him toward the transparent sphere containing Lyra Voss.“Let him go!” Mira screamed from somewhere above.Her voice echoed through the enormous chamber, followed by the crash of collapsing stone. Fred twisted against the chains, struggling to reach the platform's edge, but the golden restraints tightened whenever he moved. Beneath his skin, the black markings burned as though the magic inside him recognized the woman suspended before him.Lyra kept her eyes fixed on his face before slowly forming a smile.“Come closer, my son.”Fred stopped struggling. Her words should have comforted him, but instead, they sent a chill through his body because the voice emerging from her mouth sounded identical to the presence that had spoken inside his mind.“You are not my mother,” he said.Her smile widened. “You have spent so man
