The Secrets of The Soul Wanderer (In

Chapter 11

My sight returned, I felt my eye sockets it was good to have my eyeballs back again. A harsh white light shone from above, I shut my eyes and welcomed the numerous stars behind my eyelids. It took me a moment to adapt to the sudden light. Then I saw what I found in the vast blackness, it was a human girl that looked exactly like me. However it was emaciated, bruised and had a very long left arm that was broken and had extreme muscle atrophy. I thought this was either how Gab saw me, or it was a creation gone wrong.

Gab appeared before me I jumped from fright, I was about to blame or attack him but before I could do anything. Gab snapped his fingers and my limbs were bound by chains, I tried to scream but Gab took away my voice box too.
I saw him approach me, he smiled and menacingly said in my ear, "I am your god." He walked towards the 'other me' and hit her face with his fist. This I also felt, until it hit me. For many years I got bruises from nothing, I could sit down all day and faint bruises would just appear.

It wasn't until I went to St Caesers School that the bruising suddenly stopped. Now I knew why the bruises happened, I got so angry that I exited Gabs mind.
With my soul in my body again. I felt a bit dizzy but I stared at Gab and charged. I felt red hot rage,I attacked him but no matter what I did nothing left a mark.
"Where is she?" I demanded, Gab chuckled "she's alive just in here." Gab pulled out of his pocket a large egg, just slightly smaller than a rugby ball. I was certain that the 'other me' was in that egg, and figured out that she was like Gabs voodoo doll. Gab was using her for his failed attempts of finding his previous creation, Marvin.

I looked at Gab with disgust, words couldn't describe how much I fucking despised this being. More things clicked in my head, I spoke my thoughts with hatred."I know what the other me is for, you made her to express your frustration whenever your search for Marvin failed. You attacked her, because of this the Knights, and your boss banished you for breaking Knight law."
Saying that felt good, Gab made an evil smile and slowly gave me applause. His voice was full of anger, "well done bitch! It seems human intelligence finally surpassed my expectations. You know what take yourself." He dumped the egg that was suprisingly heavy, into my arms.
Gab was about to leave me until I shouted "stop!" He paused, turned around facing me and angrily asked, "what is it?" I felt myself getting mixed emotions, so I said, "maybe Marvin wants to be alone. Can you move on at all? I know people waste their lives mourning but I think it's good to move on."

Gab sniggered at my words, then he maliciously said "this is the most human thing I've heard. I shouldn't of created you. I fucking hate humans!" In response to this I firmly asked, "then why do you appear human whenever I visit your mind?" Gab went pale in the face and stuttered.
I got him where he was vulnerable and it felt good. Expecting violence or an argument, I was shocked when Gab asked something from me, "can you show me how to be human? This is what I desire the most." Gabs voice was shaky and he acted very sheepish.

In this situation I would normally pity on Gab, so I just replied with a passive aggressive "I'll think about it." What I wanted to do was save the 'other me' in the large egg. Before I walked to the bathroom, Gab said "she has shrunk in the egg for portability, if you soak her in water for ten minutes she will grow."
I sighed in frustration, I checked my room for Zoe only to see an empty bed. Zoe left earlier and I was glad that she was now out of my flat. I checked the time it was eight o'clock in the morning. I wanted to go to school normally, so with no time to waste I filled up the bath.
I cracked the egg with my thumbnails, peeling away the thick eggshell. I made a large enough hole to reach in and grab her, I ever so gently grabbed her shoulders and pulled her out. There was blood vessels or any sort of fluid in the egg, the egg was purely just for transport. With the bath decently filled, but not too deep. I dipped her in the water, within moments all the wounds healed. Even her broken left arm healed, then she grew bigger. This reminded me of those gimmick toys I had as a kid, where you could 'grow your own friend.'

Five minutes passed and she was my height. She was an exact replica of me now, it was very eerie to say the least. I noticed on her right shin, there was a tattoo that said 'S-01' I guessed it said 'subject 01.'
This didn't suprise me as she was used as Gabs voodoo doll for such a long ass time.
I was lost in complete shock, when she spoke, "what are you doing? I must serve my master!" Her voice was slightly deeper than mine, but her accent was still identical to me.
Out of the blue, I heard the doorbell ring, panic gripped my throat like a vice. I was relieved to see that I was still clothed from yesterday. I assertively told the 'other me' to stay there, this felt similar to commanding a dog.
I walked to the front door checking the spyhole to see my enemy. It was Isabelle. I daren't open the door, that is until I had an epiphany come to mind.
Knowing full well that this was wrong but I decided to use the 'other me' as a punchbag.
With extreme haste, I dried and dressed my clone. During all of this I was curious if my clone had a name, she shook her head so I had a good contender.
With a fake smile, I asked "do you like the name Clarisse?" She sounded stunned with happiness,"Clarisse, that name I like it thank you very much Claire."

Clarisse embraced me without warning, I felt very uneasy looking and touching an exact clone of myself. The hug was short lived, because I could hear Isabelle kicking down my door.
Feeling scared and vulnerable, Clarisse walked towards the door with either bravery or stupidity. "Claire you hide, I'll deal with this just prepare yourself ok," Clarisse calmly said with no hesitation.
I hid in the lounge, Gab was no where to be seen.
