Description
“GAAAHHHH” Duncan’s eyes snapped open again, dragging him out of his false sense of security. He was running now. No not running, he was stumbling, tripping as he was being carried. Reality hit him and he realized why he was screaming. His insides felt like they were on fire, there was a pounding in his head, blood leaked from his nose, and poured out his mouth. He glanced to the left where a familiar worried face helped carry him, to the left a worried testificate.

“X-Xephos I…Lewis…w-where are w-we go-going?” Duncan spoke softly, letting more blood leak from his mouth.

“Shhhh it’s gonna be ok buddy. You’ll be ok.” Duncan looked ahead at a row of tubes filled with blue liquid and wires. He stopped and pulled away from them, his legs buckling, and dropped to the floor. He screamed as memories flooded back into his mind. The screaming patients, the people who came out with missing limbs and all the failed mutations that also followed. He was picked up again.

“NO! D-DON’T PUT ME IN THERE! PLEASE! T-THAT THING WILL KILL ME!” Duncan pleaded as blood began to pour out of his ears now.

“IT’S OUR ONLY CHANCE DUNCAN WE DON’T HAVE A MASTER CLONE FOR YOU! YOU HAVE TO BECOME THE MASTER CLONE OR YOU’LL DIE! I-I K-KNOW IT’S EXPERIMENTAL BUT-but it’s our only chance.” Lewis choked out. Tears streamed down his face now. Duncan opened his mouth to shout again but couldn’t find the words or energy to speak.

Duncan gripped onto the sides of the tube as he was shoved in. Wires were strapped onto his bare chest and a mask was strapped on over his face.

“P-PLEASE…!” Duncan wailed as the glass was resealed behind him, and water refilled the tube. He clawed, cried and kicked in an attempt to break out. He yelled at Lewis who was working frantically at the control board to stop and help him, but his feeble pleas faltered to a halt as a gas filled his mask.

“I-I…”He lost control of his body and let it float around aimlessly. Soon he lost his hearing. He never took his eyes off of Lewis, a sense of betrayal and distrust filled his body as he slipped into unconsciousness.

“I don’t want to die…” he whispered as he lost control of the last of his senses
