Chapter 38

"Don't you get it Fana? I am dying."

Those words that come out from Zachary makes my heartache.

"What...what are you saying, Zachary? You got to be joking..."

He just smile to me.

"Well I am not. I have a pancreas failure. They don't work well nowadays. It's getting worse day by day.... So I try my best to avoid meeting Rue and Bella. When I meet them, I will take my pain killer to endure the pain for some time."

"Zachary.....I don't think it was best to hide the truth from Rue and Bella... they have the right to know about it...."

"Oh, Fana..... You are still young. It feels different when you have a child you care a lot and you can't expects them to understand calmly after I tell them I am going to....die."

His voice seems to shakes as he explain to me. Even though he try his best to hold in his tears, his eyes have become red.

"How will you react when your parents tell you that they are dying, Fana?"

I was speechless. I began to hesitated.

"It must have to be hard on you.... I don't even know what to do if it really happens to me...."

Zachary rubs his eyes and gather himself together again.

"Okay, lets not talk about all of these. Now lets talk something fun to kill the time, shall we?"

I was hesitated but I gather all my courage to ask him.

"Zachary, I want to ask. Why am I here? And what makes my genes special?"

His eyes widen as if he was surprise to hear my question.

"You really forget about your past?"

"What past do you mean?" I was also surprise with his question.

"Because you have gone trough this experiment and I have meet you a few time when you are little. Do you forget all about this place where you had been experiments countless times?"

"Am I?" I am really shocked. I hold my chin and try to recall my past. All of a sudden, I have the feeling of DejaVu as I saw the same white ceiling from above of my head in my few previous dreams I had.

'If that is the case, it might explain why my parents moves away to calm me down.' I think to myslef.Slowly all of the pieces of mystery come together like jigsaw puzzle.

After some time, I finally remember some part of me being here and those dream from before was real as well. I remember how I am torture here, how I was treated as an animal for experiment.

"Zachary, how many have survive from this hell?" I asked him in a powerful tone.

He looks speechless then he touches his book.

"Only two. You and a boy named Lucien. The rest of them have die tragically. Mostly they die because the side effect of the sudden change of their genes."

Zachary explains to me. His voice seems to feel sorry for the victims.

"I always wanted to stop this but Xavier would go crazy and he even go too far just to keep on continuing this."

He look at me into the eyes and he asked me.

"Could you help me to stop him from doing anymore mistake?"

I nod my head in agreement.
