I can't keep my eyes open.

"Mum!?" I shouted. What did he mean mum, what the heck was going on? I stormed over to where they were sitting and stared down at my mother. "What do you mean 'mum'?" I pushed. Mum looked up at me with innocent eyes that were looking sorry. She hesitated but finally spoke up, "Frank is special." I looked over at my supposed brother in confusion but he seemed to be wearing the exact same expression. Before I could speak up he asked the question that was on my mind. "What do you mean special, I don't even know anyone but you." He stood up and paced the room continuing "I woke up knowing no one or where I was. How did I even know you were my mum? Is that dad? Oh my god it is isn't it." Frank sunk to the floor and started to cry. Part of me wanted to comfort him but I needed answers at this point in time.

"Care to explain further mother?" I asked looking down at her. She took a deep breath before speaking. "He is your twin." She stated bluntly. Confusion washed through me, how could I have a twin and why do I not know him? "Frank was still born but your father would not accept it and in fact brought him back to life but knowing this he was a test subject." She broke down in front of me obviously feeling bad about what had happened to Frank. I looked over behind me seeing frank siting on the floor watching mum intently. "He can do so much more than you think, look after him Melody and he will do the same. I love you both so--" before she could continue her face changed contorting into pain and I watched her beautiful blue orbs change yellow as she leaned forward towards my neck.

I reacted fast leaning back and quickly standing away from her. I knew what had happened but frank did not and rushed over to aid her. I darted forward and grabbed his arms in time to pull him away before she bit him. He struggled against me while I wrapped my arms around his chest pulling him away from her all the while he was screaming for me to let him go. I tackled him to the ground and sat on top of him holding him down. "She's gone! She's one of them! We need to leave frank!" I screamed over him. He stopped struggling and I let him sit up, I leaned in for a hug to confort him and he gladly accepted it until I was violently pushed away from him.

I slid across the floor in slow motion watching the scene in front of me unfold. Mum was running towards frank obviously wanting a meal but frank shifted his weight off the floor and brought his foot up into a kick and landed it right under her jaw, knocking her head backwards in an awkward angle. The kick followed through into a flip and as he landed on his feet once again but now standing he used my gun to shoot her in the head. And with hearing the bang of the gun I also felt my head smack off the wall sending everything black.

I kept blinking but everything was blurry and moving. I saw frank move towards me and lift me from my spot on the floor, I think he was talking to me but I can't hear him. I try to speak but nothing comes out, I see him give up and started to drag me out of the room. Everything keeps fading in and out of focus but I can't hear anything going on. I wonder where Wen is, does frank know where he is going? Before I could think anymore I passed out, letting the world go black.

I don't know how long it was before I opened my eyes again but I was on someone's back. I lifted my head a slight bit and saw that frank was carrying me while running. It seemed to be panicked, confused I looked behind me and saw Wen and smiled but the fear on her face scared me before I saw what was chasing us. I couldn't move or speak, I was basically useless and in all the comotion I lost concienceness once again.
