Xephos;

I don't really understand. Under the covers, I'm shivering uncontrollably. Usually, the machinery is warm and heats up the whole factory. However, it feels like the freezer level has spread to everywhere. As soon as Duncan got here, the temperature had plummeted. I wonder if it's something to do with his new look...

Either way, Martyn has left without a trace-running from the chill no doubt. He hates the ominous breeze that spread throughout the factory. Usually, it's full of life. Though now... Simon keeps in his penthouse. And with Duncan trapped in a cell, Honeydew inc was no longer buzzing with life. It was screaming silence.

A rather large explosion rings throughout the compound and I hear Simon screaming:"DAMN IT FUMBLEMORE! Oh, wait..."

Before anyone could say 'jaffa' I fly through the door and up to the top of the factory. Seeing the obsidian cage next to Jimmy Saville, I rush to the decimated iron door.

"Duncan!"I shout, as I see the injured man walk out, limping.

He weakly laughed."I guess TNT could blast the iron door, but I guess I'm busted!"He tried to smile.

"Yore injured! You need to rest! Your helmet is the only thing that's keeping you alive!"I shout in desperation.

"Why would you care? You're simply my jailer."He looks at me smiling, emotionless.

"I do care, because I'm not simply your jailer, I'm your friend. Have you forgotten what that is, Duncan? Ever since she died, you've been miserable. Many people have. But these things happen, an we have to move on... Or we'll never be able to get up on to our feet again."

"You don't understand, Lewis! I... I loved her... And as soon as I heard the truth, Ridge took her. And when she came back... She was dead."Tears welled in his eyes and I feel that I should comfort him...

"She isn't dead, Duncan. Look at yourself, she lives within you. You and her are one."

"What?! How could she-"

"You are just extremely unperceptive, always have been, always will be."

Duncan stared at his hands."Three souls, eh?"He laughs manically."Insanity. Insanity, I tell you!"

"Indeed. You are insane. You are naïve. You are broken. But that doesn't change the fact that you are yourself. Prove to me that you are the Duncan we all knew before. Prove to me that you can get over grief. Do you understand?"

He nods, and I sigh.

I wonder what he means by 'three souls...'

3rd person;

Duncan just couldn't pinpoint why. Why did Lewis let him roam free once again?

He had done terrible things, both when she was alive, and when she was dead. He didn't realise that it would come to a simple choice at the crossroads.

He noticed that he no longer felt cold, and he wondered if thy was Reni's power. Lewis gave him food, water, a place to work and rest... He couldn't ask for more. He had the freedom to do things.

After a few days of him being let out, the Jaffa Factory was paid a surprise visit by Sips ad Sjin.

"What do you think you're doing, Lewis you big dumb babby, letting Duncan out like that! You know he's dangerous!"Sips complained rather loudly.

"Not to mention a murderer. And why does he have that armour and goggles of him? Is there an outbreak?"Sjin added.

"No."Lewis replied rather irritably. And don't try to take it off, you'll simply freeze in fear."

Duncan smirked at how real that would be. Sjin, in a cube of ice. As he continued to breed the plants.

"If you touch him, I'm reporting you to Ridge."Lewis warned, as the Sips Co duo gulped. Ridge could be pretty bloody scary, even to Sips.

"Y-Yes boss."

"He's cool, okay?"(AN: no pun intended XD) Lewis raised his eyebrows in warning.

"He's cool."They repeated in unison as Lewis sent them to work on some machines.

He walked over to Duncan, who stopped applying the weed killer as soon as he came.

"I saved your arse."Lewis smiled.

"I know. Thanks, by the way."Duncan replied.

"No problem. My acting skills has much to be desired, though."

Duncan simply gets back to work, and nods.

As Lewis strode away, Duncan couldn't ignore the voices in his head.

I need blood, Lalna, I need blood.

Pretend to be who you are not. Only then can you achieve.

That's bollocks, Lalna, just kill someone.

Do not kill. 

Kill.

There will be a time, Lalna. One day, you will find yourself.
