The room that I looked in upon was lit well in the center. Circular lights cascaded down into the center of the room. Many medical gurneys and cracked and broken eggs lay strewn across the floor. In the very center of the room, was Sam, my Queen, and my mother. All sorts of plugs and wires and needles were plugged deep into her flesh. She was hooked up to a respirator and was fast asleep. I walked over to her and gently touched her face with my hand. She awoke and gazed up at me, I barely heard these words uttered in a gentle wheeze,
"Ben, help me."
I jumped back and continued to walk back in a state of fright. I backed right up into something, I yelped and ran forward but a metal pincer grabbed me. I slowly opened my eyes, it was Shrink. Shrink set me down with a look on his face that just screamed ‘you moron’.
“What have they done to her Shrink?” I asked him, I felt sick.
“They are taking samples of her DNA.” he stated with a very grim look on his face.
“What is D-N-A?” I asked.
“DNA is the genetic make-up of all living things,” Shrink looked down at me and saw that I was still puzzled, “It is a code or map of how something is built or can be built, in this case, that thing is your Queen.”
“I don’t underst-” Shrink cut me off mid-sentence.
“They are cloning her Ben. Once they are done with the expiriments and are done cloning her they will have little need for her, but she will remain alive. She will be a prisoner here forever. Her life will be a never-ending cycle of pain and self-loathing.” He gazed forward, “We must kill her.”
“WHAT!?! NO! She is my mother! I can’t do that, I won’t do that!” I was deadly afraid of Shrink now.
“Ben, don’t think that I want to kill her. Don’t think that she will be really dead. We can resurrect her with the DNA Vincent took from her. We must kill her now before Vincent can do any more considerable harm. Show her mercy Ben.” he paused and said, "We can't rescue your brothers and her. It would be not only impossible, but it would be suicide."
“I just can’t do that.” I said very quietly. The from across the room I heard a very sad but motherly voice.
“Ben, kill me. Do it and bring me back later. Save your brothers and kill me.”
“Mommy NO!” I turned to Shrink, “There has to be another way.”
“Ben, it is the only way.”
“Sujalin, not you too.”
“Ben, who are you talking to? Who is Sujalin?”
“Ben do it now and save your brothers.”
“Ben, you must do it now! NOW!” Shrink yelled at me, he pointed to a console.
I looked at the main console which Shrink directed me to, my mother’s life support. I walked over to it and grasped the main switch.
“I’m sorry mother. Odd forgive me.” I pulled the switch.......
............This is the part of the story where it can branch off into the good ending or the bad ending. Which one do you guys want to hear first?
