Abomination

Night of the Soul

A/N: Hey guys! Hope you're all safe and healthy. I thought I'd update this a day early this week. I'm thinking of changing my update schedule a little bit to just one update a week for a story. What I mean is that I'll only update one story a week instead of trying to update multiple stories in one week. So I think I'll update every Wednesday and alternate between stories. So like this week Abomination is updated, next week will probably be An Uncertain Future, and then the week after that will be Supersonic and then back to Abomination the week after that. Does that make scenes... I think it did. Hopefully, this update schedule will make it easier for me to be consistent instead of random updates on certain days.

Hope that this chapter is enjoyable for you guys!

SNOW GENTLY FLUTTERED TO THE GROUND AND painted the ground a pure white. The calm atmosphere contradicted the hell that Natalie had just been through. Running for her life with hundreds of other androids was not something she wanted to add to her bucket list, yet she could check it off. Her hands were dug deep in her pockets as her sneakers crunched the snow underneath her feet. Had she been completely human, there was no doubt that she would be cold. She wiped her forehead and grimaced at the small amount of blood that was on her fingers. Her self-inflicted wound had healed up enough to stop gushing out blood, but there was still a small enough. Just not enough to cause any concern.

The cyborg stood in front of her godfather's house next to Markus who looked at the building with a longing gaze. Of course, they were there because Markus had one goal he needed to get done:

SEE CARL

Natalie turned to her friend as they stood in front of the large Manfred mansion. "Are you sure you want me here?"

Markus' mismatched eyes tore themselves away from his former home to face the woman. "Of course," the rebellion leader smiled, "he's your family, you should get to see him."

"All right," She chuckled before turning back to the house, "if you say so."

They approached the mansion hesitantly, "Alarm deactivated." The system said to them as the door slide open, "Welcome home, Markus."

Natalie and Markus shared a glance with each other before they entered the home. It was eerily quiet in the foyer as the sky started to turn an inky black as it became later. Each of them surveyed the room and realized that Carl couldn't have been downstairs, meaning he was in his room. Something caught Markus' eye and approached the desk that was to the left of the stairs and saw that there was a message left. Markus hit play on it.

"Hi, Dad..." The glitchy message started reveling that it was Leo Manfred, "I'm getting outta the hospital tomorrow... They told me that you stayed with me while I was asleep... I... um... I'm really sorry about everything that happened..." Natalie's eyebrows furrowed at that. Leo was in the hospital, she didn't know about that. Ethan told her that Markus and Leo had gotten into a fight, perhaps that's why he was being treated at the hospital. They watched the bandaged Leo as he took a deep sigh. "I'm gonna stop all that shit... It messes me up, it turns me into somebody I hate... Hey, I'd like to come by and see you tomorrow... If that's all right with you... I... I just wanna let you know... I'm... I'm proud to be your son..."
