Chapter 23: Discovered?!
996 Words
Asharika feels her body tremble as Jenievib, whose real name is Dianna, burst out from her body. It is as if a great force from within her tries to go out along with herself. It is a feeling of being punch inside.
When she looks at Dianna who comes out from her body, her supposed to be translucent body turned more visible
It is to the point that she can't almost see the things behind her.
But what makes her flabbergasted is Dianna's looks. Her yellow hair and yellow eyes, that nose and lips. She looks exactly the same as the little girl in the portrait where the Timeus family is!
"Jenievib... Dianna... You..." Asharika as her eyes shrinks in disbelief. She can't be wrong, she is Timeus's older sister!
She doesn't know what to feel right now. The sister of Timeus became his most hated humex.
Dianna examines herself. "I turn into a kid..." she whispers in surprise.
.
On the Timeus side, inside the control room...
Timeus has been observing Asharika. Although he wants to be near her, he wants her to realize how cold-hearted and dangerous a humex is. That there is no such thing as good humex, and he does believe that the thing she has watched in projectile has proved his words.
He has been following all her actions until she has fallen asleep, and now walking toward the bathroom. He didn't watch her inside, because after seeing her feeling down, he knows that she understands now how dangerous those monsters are.
He stares in nothingness. He doesn't understand himself, but he wants Asharika to also agree with his beliefs, it just grows stronger and stronger with each passing day.
He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
"Tim, you still didn't eat since last night, I heard from the canteen area." Then Rajveer takes a bite of the bread. "I brought you some, where are my thanks." Then he winks at him.
Timeus just glimpses at him, as the floating tray goes in his direction. On it is a warm chicken soup, rice, and meat. A glass of water and juice.
"Whatcha watching?" Rajveer asks in an easy-going voice.
Rajveer and he had been classmates in University and he joins his team. You can even say that he is one of the closest aides of his.
"Oh..." he speaks as he playfully raises his brows. "It is actually sister-in-law." He chuckles.
Timeus ignores him and about to take his food, but then he remembers that Asharika hasn't eaten anything since she has fallen asleep. "No.608, bring Ms. Gonzaga a breakfast."
Rajveer grin in a teasing way, which Timeus just ignore, making Rajveer laughs.
Timeus on the other hand just takes his food, they will leave in 3 days to bring some sample to his uncle. They will study the weird-looking insect that has killed a lot of people in the camp. And at the institute, he and his uncle have built up to have much more advanced equipment they can use, and a complete set of utility for the sample, if there is something that it lacks, they can just make an invention of it.
Del Roca is well known as the father of invention, especially their ancestor Amsan Del Roca who suddenly disappear 50 years ago. They had searched for him for very long years but not even his shadow was seen.
Rajveer shakes his head at Timeus, then his eyes float to where Asharika is only for his smile turns stiff, and then change to serious. Those reactions didn't escape from Timeus eyes, so his eyes also dart on where Asharika is. The hold on the spoon falls.
He doesn't want to accept this, but what he sees is an obvious answer.
Asharika who is supposed to be alone is with someone.
"No. 608, capture Asharika and the one who is with her." He speaks in a cold tone, but his heart also turns cold.
Rajveer stares at his friend and bites his lips. Although he wants to speak no word can be used to describe the things that occur in front of them.
The ghost-type humex, and Asharika...
They have a connection.
.
On Asharika's side.
"Jenievib, I mean Dianna..." Asharika doesn't know what to say. She just experiences and see everything that Dianna sees and experiences as if she is the one who has experience such.
Dianna still examining herself then faces Asharika with clear golden eyes, which is starting to water. "Ash..." her voice sounds broken. "I-I want to see my family..." then tears flow down on her cheek. Her body is not just becoming more visible but it also starts to become rosy, as if she is a proper human. And the tear that not suppose to exist caresses her cheeks.
Asharika wants to help but she doesn't know-how. Knowing her family despise humex, especially Timeus.
And there is another thing...
She has been feeling jittery and worried for some reason. But why would she felt that way?
Except...
She shakes the thought that popping out of her mind. It is impossible for them to see Jenievib-- Dianna, it is impossible...
She looks at the camera on the corner, and fear crawl in her heart grow bigger and bigger...
"Jenievib- I mean Dianna, you should leave first. Well find your family after, but first, you need to leave." Asharika persuades her. She doesn't understand why, but she had the feeling that if Dianna didn't leave now, she will never ever see her ever again.
Dianna's eyes watered, as the things around them started to move. "Ash..."
She was about to stop her friend from being emotional because the things around them will move and will make her closest friend be discovered when the door suddenly opens. Showing the old strict-looking old man, no.608.
Her eyes shrink and her heart fell, especially when it raises its hand and shoots something from it, attacking Dianna.
