John's POV

Walking through the halls was stepping back in time, this was a time long before Abigail and I yet here we were. Angelica was building an army, even I knew that Abigail wasn't the only target that Angelica had her eyes set on. She was going after time itself, that is every time that Abigail went back to and corrected, she was now going to go back and destroy in any way possible. Vengeance was at the top of her list. The woman led us through a few halls before going to a secret door, once inside the small room, there stood another man, an Egyptian who looked like he was being drained of energy.

"This is what I meant when I said I feared for him." She cried as she stood against the wall of the room.

Abigail went to the man who was laying on the chaise in a very strange state. Taking his hand, Abigail smoothed his hair back, the moment she touched him, his eyes were able to focus on her. His hand came and touched her cheek before he was finally able to speak to her.

"Neferure, what are you doing back here?" he questioned her, calling her by the name she went by when she was here or so I assumed.

"Something horrible has happened, one of my enemies is going to all the pasts I have been too. I fear she is growing an army and her first targets are my family and myself." Abigail answers honestly.

The man then looks back right at me, he doesn't look happy to see me either although we had never met in any lifetime. Groaning, he sits up on the chaise and looks between all of us that were in the room. I had no idea how long he had been there, but his energy was very low, that was easy to tell.

"Some woman showed up out of nowhere, she claimed to the Pharaoh that she could control any man. He of course didn't believe her until she showed him, she should all of us how with just a few words any many in that room would bend to her will." He sighed as he closed his eyes. "She has even more power than your mother did, that is why everyone here fears here, I fear for the day she tries to take the Pharaoh for herself."

"She thinks she can stop her." The man's wife says as she goes up to Abigail. "You can stop her right?"

"I will kill her myself, no more jail time instead I will give her the death sentence."

Then a sudden strange sound went off through the palace. Confused we both looked to the man who then looked as though he were in a trance. His wife though was now passed out on the chaise. Unsure what to do, Abigail went to me as the man went through the secret door. We decided to follow him, well Abigail decided where I was perfectly fine staying where we were. Rolling her eyes she pulled me right along with her. As we followed him we saw most of the men from the palace following the same path as he did with the same strange look in their eyes.

"Come to me, give me what I need!" an oddly familiar voice calls out from one of the halls.

Abigail told me they were all going to the throne room. I looked away for just one second and then everything went black, I didn't know where Abigail was or what had happened.

Abigail's POV

I looked around the corner and was about to follow Nahkt when I got a bad feeling from behind me. Turning around I see a guard knock out John and before I had the chance to run, another guard grabbed me. Thrashing and trying to break free I do the only thing I can do.

"JOHN! WAKE UP JOHN PLEASE!!" I yell at the top of my lungs as I continue to try and break free from the guard.

I watched in horror as the other guard then grabbed john and pulled him in another direction. The guard that had me, held me tightly as he took me into the throne room. There in the middle was Angelica with a harem costume on. She had a dagger in her hand, blood dripping from it no doubt from the two men before her bleeding out.

"You never learn...I am the one who will control everything. You had your chance to kill me, yet you didn't take it." Angelica laughs as she rubs the blood all over her body.

"A mistake I will not make again." I scoff as the guard drops me onto the floor.

"You won't live long enough for that." Angelica snaps her fingers and I appear in a dark room.

"That bitch thinks a jail cell can hold me? Ha!" I yell as I move to run to the door only to feel a hand on me.

"My mistress knows how tricky you are, you are a snake, a liar, a deceiver." A male voice says from behind me.

Turning around I see the room light up and there before me stands the impossible.

"Jason?" I question as I look at the monster before.

"You look surprised, almost as if you've seen a ghost." He grins at me.

"What has she done to you? I saw you die, I held your hand when you took your last breath!" I yell as I hold back the tears that threaten to spill from my eyes.

"Maybe I was the one tricking you all along?"

"If that's the case then I don't feel sorry about this." I barely finish as I right hook him.

That sent him to the ground, that wasn't something he was expecting. This wasn't Jason, a copy maybe but the man I knew, the man I married was not before me and I was going to kill whatever this thing was in order to put him to peace.

"You would dare kill me Abigail? The man who loved you, nursed you back to health? Married you even after you threatened to kill me?" Jason asks as he holds his cheek and stands up.

"You aren't him, he was twice the man you are and not someone that would allow Angelica to be his mistress." I reply as I jump up and kick him back down to the ground.

"Abigail, I swear it's me. I beg of you! I love you! She tricked me! I never wanted to hurt you." He calls out to me as tears come down his face.

All the memories I had with him flash to the front of my head. He was the one to take care of me when she put that spell on me, he was the one that drew pictures of me, kissed me, showed me love and compassion, showed remorse when he found out what Angelica had truly done. He was the one I saw die before my eyes.

"NO!" I scream as I fall to my knees.

"I died for you and now you come back to kill me yourself?" he calls out to me.

"That's not him Abigail! Jason wouldn't do this to you! You know that! He wouldn't make you feel hurt or guilty for anything you did. He would tell you to be strong! He would tell you to fight for your child even if that meant getting rid of him! That thing before you isn't Jason, that's what Jason was killed to create by Angelica! Kill him Abigail! Let Jason rest in peace!" John yells to me but I can't tell where he is.

"You just have to ruin everything don't you?!" the clone says as I hear him grab someone.

"Fred, switch me to future mode." I whisper and thank god Fred hears me.

The clone slams John against the wall as I turn around, now in my suit, take out my gun and place it right against Jason's head. John looks between Jason and I and wonder what the clone will do. He already knows I would pull the trigger.

"You really chose him over me? The man who nurtured you back to heal-" the clone didn't even get to finish his sentence as I pulled the trigger and he fell dead to the floor.

"No, you aren't Jason, just a cheap knock off." I reply as I holster my gun and turn to John who massages his neck. "Where the hell have you been?"

"I was taken prisoner but thanks to Fred telling me what to do step by step I gout out of it and he helped me find you. I didn't think Angelica would make a clone of Jason...did you know it was a clone too?" John questions as I shake my head.

"I've never had to deal with clones, she just makes me want to kill her even sooner now." I sigh as we make our way out of the dungeons.

"She's killing all of these people for their energy so her powers can grow." John tells me as we try to find our way out.

"Then once she kills everyone here she moves on to another time. Not an ounce of guilt, that takes one hell of an evil heart." I comment as I switch my watch to show a map.

"That's what she's always been."

"Yet she managed to make you and Jason fall for her."
