I couldn't move. My brother, the only one I had left, was about to die. I couldn't move, it was like a python of darkness crushing my limbs to prevent me from running. A flap of the surrounding darkness lifted, and HE walked in. That one man. That one murderer who killed everyone I'd ever known. That one scientist who seems to be a myth. But no. He's real. And he created me and my brother. He hesitates in his long, heavy strides. He turns in my direction and lifts his hand. Connor starts to choke, and the python squeezes tighter. My eyes snap open.
