Chapter 21

     When I wake up, I found myself lying in bed in a tent. I sit down and pain hits me, I then remember about the wound from the car. I look at it and it was bandage. Then, as I stand up and change some clothes that is prepared in the table, I look outside and I saw a small based in the middle of the desert. I walk around and soldier's salute at me when I walk by so, I salute them back as respect. Then again, I saw the young girl, who called me mom. She also saw me but ignored me and walk away when an someone speak behind me, "Great, you are awake now, Doctor Miranda Levy." 

      I turn around and get my gun in my ankle, the soldiers looked at us, and I ask the man about his identity, "Who are you? How did you know that I will look for you?" The old man smiled and the young girl saw me pointing the gun to the old man so she said, "What are you doing? He is going to help you?" I look at her but I look at the old man again, "I said, who are you? How did you know that I will look for you?" I was asking the old man, when someone shoot me in the head and I fell down on the ground. 

     The next day, I wake up again, I sit down first but I lie down again. Then beside me someone speaks, "Good, you are awake again, Doctor Miranda Levy." I look my head at him and just ask him, "Why did you kill me and talk to me again? Are you really going to help me or just use me for your experiments?" Then, the old man replied, "Well, I actually intended to help you but in an unexpected scenario someone shoot you without my order and it backfire our plan to convince you so, here I am and I wanted to apologize for what happened." I sighed at his explanation and turn around, when he said, "You know that young girl, you met and called you mom, is your daughter, right?" 

     I laugh at his words and said, "Right? She as my daughter? First of all, I don't sleep with anyone. Second, I don't get pregnant because of who I am, and third, no one can really help me about this condition." After, I said my point the man behind me was quiet so, I turn around to look. As I turn around, I saw the young girl. She must have heard what I said, I saw tears in her eyes and she walk away. I sit down and tried to call to her, but I don't because she is not my daughter and I look at the old man defeated. I don't know why my heart is in pain, when I saw her tears then I look at the old man and I said, "Alright, I already said what I want, now tell me, who are you?" 

    The man then sighed and said, "Alright, I will tell you what I want, my name is Raver Alfred Thompson, and I am like you but much safer than you. I know your secret, about your immortality." He removes his shirt and I saw scars that look like mine. "How? I thought I am the only one who is living for a long time." "That's what I thought too, but when I saw a baby, with the same scar as I have, I then realize that like Adam and Eve, I have a partner or the same as I." I put my hand in my face, confused and said, "But how? I know that I cannot get pregnant because of the experiment I experience before. It is not possible. Are you lying to me?" "No, I assure you I am not. But I assure you that she's yours, and probably I know you know that especially that you already saw her." I tried to remember what happened from the past but I couldn't remember anything about it.

    It is the year 15th century, I was captured. Barbarians believe in witches and they torture me. I told them that I am not but every time I told them about it, they kill me until they realize that whatever they do to me, I am still alive. So, in order to know who am I, they call a doctor, his name is Alfred. "What can I do to help you, my lords?" "This woman is a witch. We already tried to kill her a dozen times but she never dies." Then the doctor's eyes lighten up, "Extraordinary, please my lords I will look at her and examine her." Then, the Barbarians leave and the doctor and I were alone. I was tied in the bed, when the doctor then whispers in my ear, "This will be a great experiment that will be known in history."  

     But then, he did not experiment with me, instead, he raped me every day. All I can do is, cry because these monsters all put something in my mouth to keep me quiet. But one day, after he raped me, he said, "We will see if you could bear me a child and if you did, we can rule this world together." After that he left, I don't understand what he meant by that and I just close my eyes tired, and slept. The next day, he did not rape me but injected me with something, he remove the cloth from my mouth so I ask, "What are you doing? Even if you inject me poison or anything, I will never die." But he said, "Oh yes, I already know that, but this, this will just make you sleep for a very long time." After that, my eyes feel heavy and everything went black.

     After I remember that painful past, the old man, called my name, "Miranda, are you alright?" Then, when he touches me, I suddenly remember his face, that demon face, Alfred.
