The Ultimatum

The next day came. Allison and I kept to ourselves at breakfast. Allison just kept staring into my face.

"You going to burn a hole in my face" I looked up

"Sorry it won't stop talking" Allison sighed

"We asked you if you were ready" I continue to eat my breakfast

Hey can you help Allison with her splice? NO, SHE GOING TO HAVE TO COPE WITH IT

"So you are on your own, she said she can't help" I looked at Allison face darken

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

"Allison what's going on?" I asked

ALLISON IS TIRED SHE GAVE ME CONTROL

I tensed up from the appearance now in front of him.

"Allison your eyes are glowing. Do something now or they going to grab you."

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE CONTROL BACK

"I tell you now, either to give it back to her or I'll bring mines out." I waited for it to speak but nothing "You would not beat mines if I have to bring her forward." She sighed and her eyes went back to normal.

"Ally you can't let her gain control again or.. she cut me off with tears brimming at her eyes "It's too much" I grabbed her hand and went to a guard

"We are done, take us back to our cells, please" He nodded

Once at our cells, I put Allison on the bed to rest.

"Get some rest, I'll be right here. Just to let you know she said you are going to have to come into and understanding with your splice." She looked up at me with red eyes and gave an defeated nod.

Can we really not help her. There was a long silence before she spoke. YES BUT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE IT. I rolled my eyes, tell me.

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO FACE TO FACE WITH THE SPLICE

I stared at Allison who is now sleeping peacefully. This damn splice is going to ruin everything. I could hear footsteps coming. I try my best to ignore it but they soon stopped in front of our cell.

"Did you eat breakfast?" I turned my head to see him. My heart started racing. Anxiety got the best of me. I stuttered "Y-yes". He just stood there staring at me. His next question made my skin crawled

"How's the baby doing?" I just stared at him "I don't know, I haven't gotten check since that time." His face contorted, with that he turned around and left.

I let out the air I didn't even know I was holding in. I turned and look at Allison who was now up and trembling. "It's okay Ally" I rubbed her back. "How can you look and speak to him" I just shrugged my shoulders "believe me I am scared just as you".

"Before we fall asleep there something I have to tell you". She nodded "So there a way for you and your splice to become one. She stood up "WHAT!" I got up as well and tried to covered her mouth but was too late. I just looked at her and shook my head. "Sorry, but at lunch you say she told you, no".

"I know, just a few minutes before he came she told me there was, but it's sounds dangerous". Allison's eye grew with joy. "Please tell me"

I took a big breath in and a long one out. I stared at her until I scoff in defeat "fine". She leap with excitement. "Don't get excited, I don't know how this is going to play out". She stop and got serious.

"Let's do this".

come forwarded. Once again I could feel myself being pulled back. I could see Allison face morphed into shocked

"It's you again."

YES CHILD THIS IS THE ONLY WAY. I'LL GO INTO YOUR MIND AND TALK TO YOUR SPLICE.

I could see Allison trembling

IT WILL BE A BATTLE OF THE MIND AND SOUL. ARE YOU PREPARED

Allison stood there quiet looking down. Her head snapped up to reveal her growing green eyes.

My body tense up. What are you going to do. JUST BE READY

She spoke IT WOULD NOT WORK. I WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY FREEDOM FOR HER. I HAVE BEEN IN THE DARK FOR TO LONG. She strolled close to me

My splice growled and she stopped in her track. I TOLD YOU IF WE BATTLE YOU WILL LOSE!! CHOOSE WISELY YOUR LIFE OR SHARE YOUR MIND.

The silence felt like hours, Allison finally sat on the bed. FINE YOU WIN, WHAT DO I DO.

I walked up to her and placed my forehead on hers. When we came to, we was in a white room. You could hear a needle drop.

"Allison?" "Yes I'm here too, this is freaky." We looked around and saw two apparition drifting towards us.

ARE YOU READY ALLISON the black apparition spoke. I turned to where Allison was at; she was staring at the green apparition. "You are our splices?" She walked forward with her hands out almost touching it. She stopped an inch away from it. GOOD, YOU CAN FEEL THE ARUA I'M GIVING OFF. She turned to me "How can we get along if she doesn't even like me".

I could swear my apparition and I sighed at the same time. "What is both of your names. You must know at least that." The apparitions heads turned looking at each other and then back at us. " Did I say something wrong?"

NO WE DON'T HAVE NAMES. WE ARE JUST LIVING THINGS INSIDE YOUR BODIES.

"Well yous are not just living things in our bodies. Yous are apart of your DNA now. So whether you like it or not yous need names." Everyone was quiet. I whispered into Allison ear the names. She looked at excited "Let's tell them"

I pointed at my apparition "You are Bastet, it's an egyptian meaning of goddess of the felines. You turn Ally." She walked up the her apparition and put her hand out. "I want to be on good terms with you. I know you didn't ask to be splice or even bond to me, but in order for us to both survive we need each other, Cipactli."
