Thorn

Chapter 7

Men in armor rush into the building, grabbing Eli and sitting him up on his knees. They hit him in the mouth with the butt of their guns.

"Where are they?" Screams a bodybuilder looking man.

When Eli doesn't answer and they aim their guns at him I fire my pistol, killing three in a row. They fire at us, Theo quickly killing four soldiers with his cross bow.

I take out two automatic pistols and walk out into the open, firing and killing. A bullet enters my side and I fall to the ground, a special bullet that can hurt demons has entered my side and is burning me from the inside. Theo runs out to help me and kills two but is knocked to the ground and so am I.

When I wake I'm in a large room, a young red head woman standing with Malachi behind a large glass window with holograms sprung all over the glass.

"She's awake, everyone to your stations! Today you will be entering memories of your past ancestors and your memories as well. Theo will meet you inside the sim unit, play well!" She says as I immediately fall backwards, unconscious.

The roof top is cold, Theo stands beside me and in front of us are two others that are clones of us. In the middle is one pistol, I look over at Theo and he motions for us to grab the pistol.

As I take a step, my clone takes a step. Theo's does the same, then we sprint towards the pistol. As Theo tackles his clone I grab the gun and so does my clone.

Her elbow hits my neck hard and I fall backwards. She fires at me but I jump over her and land behind her, grabbing her shoulders I knee her in the back. I snatch the pistol and aim it at her.

"Your nothing Thorn, you don't have the fucking guts! Mother would hate you, she died for you to disappoint her!" As she screams I look up, my mother and father standing with blood all over them.

"We hate you Thorn, you are nothing, nothing, nothing.......NOTHING!" They scream and I fire into the back of my clones head and she falls away into broken glass. I turn and see Theo push his off the roof, but Theo is pulled off by his clone.

I scream as loud as possible, the world around me falling away into what looks like clear glass shards. Then there's nothing, except Theo and I standing on a clear glass surface.
