Chapter 42- Zero (Part 3)

A grey fog seeped into view.
Silas' eyes opened and he was staring into the abyss.

He looked around but no one was there.
"Hello? Where am I?"

Get up.

"Wh-who said that?"

You're needed, Silas.

"I-I don't know what you mean."

Get up!

"I don't know how!"

Silas swiftly turned around, as if that would help him find the owner of the voice.
"How is this possible? Am I dead?"

No. You must reach into the part of you buried so deep. Activate it.

"I don't understand."

ACTIVATE IT.

"I don't know how to!"

You're needed, Silas. People need to be saved. You're the only one who can save them.

"Me? I'm not a hero."

You must become one. It is your duty to protect others.

"But I don't know how."

Activate it, Silas.

"Activate what?"

The part of yourself that's keeping you alive right now.

"I don't know what part that is."

You don't have much time. They're dying. You must protect them.

"I'm just an ordinary teen."

With robot genes.

A burst of electricity jolted through Silas' body, running through his veins. He felt as if acid had been poured into his veins.

He let out a piercingly loud scream and his eyes flew open. He sat up, his body fully energised.

He felt a pain in his chest when he saw his unconscious friends.

Brain cells start to die when you've gone one minute without oxygen, but something felt different. The clock on the wall froze in place.

Out of the corner of his eye, Silas saw blue orbs circling around Maya's body. He rushed over to her.
"Maya, wake up!
Come on, wake up!
I need you!"

Despite his effort, the girl wouldn't wake up. He slammed his fist on the ground.
"Please, wake up!
I can't do this on my own."

"Mr. Silas?", called out a familiar voice.

Silas' eyes widened and he turned in the direction of the noise.
"Katie? Katie, it's Silas!"
