She smiled at me and was setting the tray on the table. Her
back was turned. I ran for the door, locking her inside. I tried to maintain my
composure. The voltage fluctuated. It was starting. I ran as fast as my feet
could carry me. I checked for my card. Thankfully it was still with me. I tip
toed to my lab and prepared three syringes, enough to kill William Hades and
anybody else.

The hive was swarming with spectators. I tried to blend in
with the lab technicians. I could see Will at a distance. The lights were oddly
dimmed. They were patiently watching the results from this side of the room
while the vessels were kept in the harvest room.
.................................................................................................................
“The first three didn’t make it,” I heard someone whisper.
.................................................................................................................
I hoped it was not Amy. She was the last in the list. I
tried to contain my anger. I moved closer. I was appalled by what I saw. The
vessels were in a drug induced coma submerged in a tank containing a mixture of
artificially synthesized amniotic fluid and the same plant with the unique
genetic code which aided the outer beings to thrive.
.................................................................................................................
As I stood watching, a
blue light in the form of a sea hydra emerged from one of the pod and made its
way through the nostrils and came out of vessel’s mouth leaving her shrunken.
Watching them made me sick to my stomach. I had to act fast. I ran my fingers
through my scalp till they bled. The experiment was coming to an end. Amy was
next. But wait, her fingers were still moving.
