Chapter 94
Gunner was looking at Slasher who was sound asleep and his eyes were closing even though his mind was telling him to wake up and shouldn't be put to sleep. He had to guard his twin brother but his body was refusing him to do so. His eyes was betraying him and he lay himself to the floor with the small sheet that he could wrap himself just to get himself somehow warm from the weird atmosphere in their room.
Minutes passed as Gunner was staring at Slasher who is in a deep sleep he couldn't help but to close his eyes and finally decided to take at least a nap.
A noise of groan came out from Slasher's mouth as he touches his head and as he opens his blurry his visions were somehow blurry. He massages his temples and took a deep breath as he roamed his eyes in the room searching for Gunner. Slasher hated himself for being such a weak person right now and it was like his little energy that was left in his system were like it was consuming by the building.
Slasher slowly put himself to sit at the head wall as he tries to fins Gunner again and as soon as his eyes landed at the floor he instantly saw Gunner laying there with sheets wrapped around his body yet his feet is not covered but he tries to fit himself just to keep himself warm. Even him had notice some changes around the building back then the air inside was hot and moist yet now it had changed into something crisp cold that would seeps through your skin and would get you into a chilling vibe.
His teeth starts chattering because of the drop temperature and that is when Gunner starts to open his eyes slowly and just as when he learned that Slasher was already sitting and was also looking into his direction he immediately get up and walk to where his direction is. He sits at the edge of the bed and look at him and the sadness was evident in his eyes which Slasher felt that.
'Gunner," he whispered calling his name.
His voice was weak already but he was trying his best to keep up with his twin brother and somehow he couldn't help but to feel guilty because conscience was finally eating him slowly and he hated that feeling/ It was his fault by the way because he was the one who brought that to himself and no one else so he had to face it . . . face the reality because he can't run into it forever and knowing that he was his twin brother he had this skills of smelling if something was wrong.
Gunner sigh and grab his hand and hold it firmly, 'Please tell me the truth and don't let me find it to myself and grow hatred from you keeping that thing to yourself," he stated and Slasher sigh and nodded his head. His face was completely in a total of surrender.
'You are right . . . and I am sorry about that but I have my reasons with me. I admit that from the first place I have sent you an email and it took me how may months to learn how to do that which cause me so much of energy but in the end I have managed to send you an email. I was the reason why you are here and you are just doing your part to save me because I was you twin brother," he firstly stated and Gunner hold his hand firmly and nodded for him to continue. 'I was okay that time and relieve also because every subjects that Dr. Vega is using was just in the first line but one day he gets into my line and injected me with this new serum of him that he was still working it out. To think that there are hundreds of us yet I was the one he had chosen to examine and try. From that time I question even the above of how many whys and I rained those questions about it. You can't blame me for that because I was already in a danger situation yet my life back then was at the peak of death. He injected me with this serum that would get us into a monster while we are in our astral form. That would be the most dangerous thing of all and he calls it Project Doomsday," he said and gunner couldn't help but to be in shock of what his brother had gone into.
He couldn't' imagine his brother face all of those horrors all my himself and before that being inside of the damn globe and being a subject of lunatic will make you scream for help and he was the only one who could give him a help. He was somehow grateful because he was the one whom he called and not the other of his so called friends. Gunner pulled Slasher and embrace him with a tight hug and heard Slasher sobs into his shoulder.
'I'm sorry," Slasher sobs and Gunner brushed his back gesturing him that it was okay and it was not too late.
'It's not too late and there is still an antidote for that and I will find it for you. I promise you that," he said and Slasher nodded his head as they pulled out from their embrace.
Slasher wipes the tears away from his eyes using the back of his hands as he looks at Gunner. He was not planning of being teary at all but upon seeing the way Gunner looked at him his conscience was literally eating him up.
'But what if it is too late?" he asked and Gunner shakes his head slowly and smiled.
'But what if it is not?" he replied back and Slasher just smiled as a return of gesture but whatever it is he was well prepared of what will come next to him but first he had to make sure the safety of his twin brother.
