Chapter 41

"Go and kill him, Fana...."

The voice is echoing in my head. My whole mind calms down like the peaceful surface of water and a drop of water dive and split the water.

*drip* *drop*

It breaks the water surface, causes it to create a few centred wave pattern.

As the voice keep on echoing in my head, I lost all control of my body. My hand move by itself. I took a flower vase on the table.

Without hesitation, I swiftly swing it cross Xavier's head and breaking the beautiful flower vase into pieces.

*Crash!!*

"Ugh!! Fck!!"

Xavier groan in pain then he passes out. I took the gun and point at him. I pull the trigger and shot him twice.

*Bang!!* *Bang!!*

His blood was sprouting all over my shirt. I feel nothing. At that moment I realized how strong and merciless I am.

'I finally can protect others.' I think to myself.

I throw the gun away. Zachary was there next to him. He was surprised to see me killing Xavier merciless.

I hurry up to get him.

"Zachary, lets go! You need to go the hospital."

Holding his arm, I put it over my shoulder. Trying my best, I uses all my might to carry him. No matter how much I try, I still couldn't get as far to the corridor.

"Ugh!!"

Zachary couldn't stand the pain. He falls down dragging me together. I kneel down to see his current situation. My worst nightmare has come; his wound become worsted .

*Gasp*

I gasped as I saw the wound. I don't know what to do.

"Zachary!! It's getting worse. Hurry up! We need to—"

"It was pointless Fana...."

Zachary cut in. His energy was drained a lot since his was injured. He hold my hand. I could still feel his warmth of his palm.

"Just go Fana.... you need to get out of here alive...."

"No...Zachary... how I was suppose to explain this to Rue..."

My tears rolls down. Drop by drop it falls down my shirt, causing my shirt to drench in tears.

Zachary pets my head, comforting me.

"It's okay.....I know she will understand..... She was a strong willed child."

"....." I stay silent for some moment.

I stood up and wipes my tears. I have decide to seek help.

"Stay here. I will find help." I stands up. I have determinate to save him.

Zachary holds my arm. My sleeves are stains by his bloody hand. I look him into the eyes with confusion. His face was carved with his sealed lips, forming a smile.

"Thank you, Fana. I am sorry to kill your friend's parents.... Tell to Rue and Bella; I loved them both...."

"My....friend...?"

Those words had me stunned. I have no idea who he mean.

"No,Zachary! You need to tell Rue face to face!! Don't just leave them like that!!" I shake his shoulder to keep him conscious.

"I...I feel tried....I want to sleep...." Zachary murmured.

"Zachary...ZACHARY!!! STAY WITH ME!!!"

Slowly, he closes his eyes and recall all the flash back of his sinful past.

The light around him began to fade away leading him into an endless dark abyss.....

***

20 years ago....

"Zachary, I am sorry for your loss."

One by one, those people come to me wearing all black and feel sorry for the loss of my wife, Alyssa. I feel sick seeing those people pretending to feel sad when they are not.

In my black suits, I stand next to my beloved wife coffin. Her white, pale face still mesmerised my heart. My heartache a lot as I glance her beautiful, pale face.

Xavier was there next to me. He pets my shoulder to comforting me.

"Zachary, we can't changes the past but.... "

He stands in front of me and hold my shoulder.

"But we can change the future....."

Those words have bring me back to reality. I never though of changing the future.

"What do you mean by that,Xavier?"

Xavier fixes his glasses and look at him with his eyes full of passion.

"I am doing a research about evolution about human genes."

I chuckle as I hear the weirdest thing I had ever hear before in my life.

"It's a good joke Xavier. You are the first one to make me laugh today."

I pets his shoulder and Xavier seems to be disappointed.

"I am not joking, Zachary....."

"What do you mean?"I asked in confusions.

"This genes evolution could make someone heals faster then a normal human. It means they couldn't die if they are hit by truck just like how you wife pass away...."

I feel a bit unesay with what he have says. We stay silent for a moment before he decided to continue his explanation.

"So I need your help to gather everyone who is interested to make a deeper research about it. Then we could develop it into something big and finally we could give everyone so no one could be unfortunate to lost their loves one...."

He goes on and on without stopping and finally get me interested. In the end, I have decide to work with him with this research.

Xavier and I working to find multiple theory about the evolution of genes and humans. We name this project as 'The Genesis', which means the beginning of everything.

After few month, we manage to attract an investor and later more come to joins us.We also manage to hired 10 scientists that have the potential to develop this project. Then we also hired a lot of helper to helps us manage the data and so on.

Little did I know that one of them was that boy parents who disguised themself as the laboratory helper. Xavier feels very excited as they finally manage to create a new formula. All we need is now is volunteers to participate this experiment.

At first we try on a white lab rat. But it change the rat's breathing pattern. In the end, it die because of the sudden change of it's genes. But Xavier stay optimist saying we could success it but he says we need to try on a real human.

That moment I know something is not right with him.....
