Near The Truth

Chapter 21- Near The Truth

Anton was shouting, but none could help him. Scarlett was trying the most.

"We can't go back in time, we already told you. I know it's hard, but we can't help you. We have all lost our past bodies."

Anton didn't want to hear them.

"Get me out of this thing!"

He turned at John.

"Out! I will find something, Derek is not going to take my ability. Turn me back in the war! Out of this useless dimension or whatever! Now!"

None wanted Anton to risk that much. They knew it was too late for him to do something, if Derek already got his body. Anton was trying to find an opening to go outside. He started to run, but he suddenly felt Derek second illusion and stopped.

Allan shouted at Ashley.

"Do that thing again! We don't want Anton to die too!"

. . .

Four days had passed since the experiment, but none had a chance to sleep or eat. Derek and Jason were now inside a lab, where they put the bodies of their victims. But none was dead yet. Inside the big lab, Emma, Brian, Jenny, Marc, Greg and the 5 year old Jimmy, were put inside a cage, although they were all trapped in illusions. Derek was speaking with Jason. He looked happy.

"So you said I need to stab his heart right? That is how you told me you got your powers."

"Yes. What about the others?"

"We can't let them go. We will kill them too."

Jason was acting unusual. He had a cold expression in his face. Derek took hypnotized-Marc out of the cage and put him in the middle of his lab. Marc was just standing still, with his mind lost in another dimension. Derek was laughing in his evil way.

"So here is the knife. Should I do it now? This is the way?"

It lasted a few seconds till Jason gave his answer.

"Yes."

Derek got ready to stab Marc with the knife. He was feeling too confident about his future plans. At the moment he decided to do it, he felt a strange pain coming from his chest. He thought it was strange, because he never expected it. The pain was real, because now he had a hole in his chest and Jason hand was passing through his body.

. . .

Ashley was trying to heal Marc's brain, but she couldn't. It looked like she couldn't save a person from an illusion twice.

"I can't help him! I can't find the connections!"

John then saw something suspicious.

"Wait, Anton's hands are moving!"

Anton's hands were really moving slowly.

. . .

Derek was now standing on his knees with Jason on his back, still stabbing his heart with the right hand. Derek couldn't believe what happened.

"But . . . why? It was our plan. All this years . . ."

Jason seemed to have more than two abilities. He opened his right hand.

"You are not allowed to live anymore."

A strong impulse came from Jason's hand making Derek to explode. Blood was now everywhere. The people inside the cage were moving by their own and looked like were out of the illusions. Jason then run and touched everyone with his left hand except Marc. Marc was trying to stand up, while the others were already teleported inside their houses. Brian was with his family again and Greg was in his house. Jenny found herself just outside her home. Marc was the only one left in the lab. He was thrilled from all that blood and thought that everyone was dead. Jason tried to calm him down.

"It is alright. All that blood comes from Derek. I killed him. He is not going to be a problem anymore. Everyone else is safe in their houses. You should keep going. You are not done."

Marc couldn't believe him.

"Then tell me! I want to see Jenny and the others."

"Alright then."

Jason touched Marc with his left hand and teleported him to each one of them. Marc saw they were not hurt. They turned back to the lab again. However, Marc still couldn't believe him.

"This is an illusion. This cannot be true. I was watching those masks and . . ."

Jason didn't want to argue anymore.

"Believe whatever you want. However, you still got work to do."

Before touching Marc, everything disappeared and Marc could only see Jason trying to touch him and a strong light behind him.

"You are not normal! What are you?"

Jason's form had changed. His head was bigger. It seemed like he was now far away and Marc couldn't see his face, but he realized something.

"You are . . . They exist! You are an alien!"

Jason said some useful information before disappearing in the light.

"I am going to create a body for you in the "Operation Room". They will not remember anything. They will think you are still in coma, however that body is false and it can't last longer than other 10 days. When that dies, Marc dies. Anton lives. Don't forget, you are our chosen one."

Marc closed his eyes because of the strong light and after a short time he felt the light was gone. He opened his eyes.
