Chapter 49: The Cave Part 3

Leif was sitting on a bench in the capital city. He had a smile plastered across his face as he glanced around at the city surrounding him. It was a beautiful day, with a sun shining high above and not a cloud nearby to bother it. Not hot enough to make it unbearable outside, but warm, with a little breeze that came by every so often and fluffed up your hair.

This was one of the premiere parks in the capital city, an artificial land of grass and trees and strategically placed walkways, statues, and playgrounds. Leif came here a lot. He loved nature, enjoyed every second he could spend in it and away from the work of city life. Today he wasn't here though just to sit and be one with the surrounding world.

The young man's blonde hair was ruffled from behind by an unknown person. Unknown, though Leif had a good guess who it was. Only two people liked to ruffle his hair and one of them was his brother who was back home.

His brother...not much of a brother though since one of them was blonde haired and the other had dark brown. Leif thought more about his brother and how they looked different and similar and tha..................they..............ght.......................dc

..................wasn't it?............

The sky made a large popping sound and Leif thought back to the person rubbing his head. His eyes drifted up and met with the blue ones of the person looking down on him from above. "Well hello there you," Leif said.

"Hi cutie," Allyson smiled at him and gave him a little wink. "I grabbed you the chocolate bar you wanted. " She dangled the candy in front of Leif's eyes, waving it back and forth like she was hypnotizing him. "But you'll have to pay up for it."

"Uhm..." Leif's eyes slowly followed the chocolate back and forth. He patted his pockets and remembered he had left his money back at the house with Porter. "Well I uh...I love you with every fibre of my being already but I could give you my soul in exchange for the candy bar."

"How can I trust you on that mister?" Allyson gave him a cheeky sly look and pulled the chocolate away, leaving just her and Leif staring at each other from these awkward positions, with her chin almost on his forehead. Her blonde hair fell down around her face and tickled his ears and cheeks. He had a flash of her with a red scarf around her face, thinking of her regular duties but he shook it away.

Leif reached up gingerly and gently grasped the sides of the girl's head, pulling her down a little as he stretched his head up. Her eyes had closed in preparation but his stayed open to look at her beautiful features, so he could never forget them. Their lips touched, softly at first, but they both drew in tighter together, fusing together for a moment before he slumped back down. "You seal the deal with a kiss then."

Allyson giggled a bit like a little child and beamed at her partner before Leif snatched the chocolate bar away. Allyson did her best to try and wrestle it away from him as he tore through and wrapped and started munching on his favourite snack while still holding his girlfriend at bay. She toppled over the bench into his lap and the two burst out laughing.

Leif looked down at her with warmth in his heart and she did the same to him. If he could've, Leif would've frozen this moment forever and put them into an eternal loop, to live like this for eternity. And he watched as Allyson's features slowly changed and hardened, gaining a shiny, metallic feel to them. Her eyes turned cold, they shifted and the iris began to move, as if focusing. And Leif's own hands had turned purple, getting harder by the second.

Allyson was Alpha. Leif was Sigma.

Sigma screamed and burst into awareness, panting and heaving and wondering if he even had organic body parts inside of him that required oxygen anyways. There were cables connected to every portion of his body and he saw the reflective glass of Doctor Roth's glasses looking down on him from above, pulling things away.
