Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

A few minutes before the collapse of the house, I had become unconscious. To understand what happened, I'll just say it. "My soul" separated from my body. Okay, the soul didn't exist in science, but still I ended up in a black room. "Hello," I shouted around. I was panicking. Where was I, why was I floating, and what happened to Mona and my sister. A strong headwind hit me. I was looking behind me when a train ran me over. I woke up in a room. My first glance was at a handcuffed young girl sitting on a chair. I approached the unconscious when a door opened behind me and a black-masked man entered. I took a step forward when I stopped. It was quiet. "Why am I here?" I asked as I turned to him. Everything around me was white. "You are the only survivor who can possess the bodies of others." "Where are Mona and ...", before I could say my sentence to the end, he said: "In the hospital. In a coma. Both." At least I knew they were doing well. He came closer to me. "Don't be afraid of me. I'm not going to do anything to you," he reassured me in a soft voice. "How can I trust you?" "You are the only hope for humanity." He touched my forehead with his fingers. In seconds, I looked at the future of my city. Many skyscrapers that burned, many dead who died on the streets and the survivors are fighting for food, the only hope to survive. Right after seeing these pictures, I came back to reality. I took a deep breath as if I had woken up from sleep. "You have seen the future. What I saw." "What are you?" I looked at in fear. "That's not important now!" "What do I have to do?" I sounded highly motivated. "During the burglary of the house, the human experiments were released. You have to learn how to own the bodies of others. We were able to catch and kill many of them, but three beings that can destroy the world disappeared. They look like us humans, but they are not." "How can I use my strength?" "Try it." He disappeared through the door, so I was alone with the girl again. I unleashed the girl. Only by a shaking she woke up. "Where am I?" she asked me. "They took my mother," she began to cry. I comforted her, when I whispered to her that she could see her again, she looked me in amazement in the eyes. I knew she would do anything to see her mother again. Now I understood why the masked man chose her. "I have the strength to own the bodies of others and I don't know how. If I try it on you, you would be free," I smiled at her. It took a while for her to agree. She didn't feel fear. We sat an arm's length opposite. "Try! You have to imagine being like me." I closed my eyes, thinking of her brown hair, blue eyes and oval face. After a while, I opened my eyes. "Did it work?" she asked me? "No," I shook my head slightly angrily. I closed my eyes again, concentrated, but it didn't work. I was angry. In total, I tried four times, but nothing happened. "How long do you need? I've been waiting here for five hours," he heard her voice, "Do you think it's easier now?" Surprised, she looked at him. "I didn't say anything." I looked at her confused. Could I read minds? "Choose a number between one and ten." I concentrated. "Is it nine?" I asked her. She nodded. She was stunned. "Try it now," she said motivated. We closed our eyes. The next time I opened my eyes, I saw myself. I sat on the other side. It was the first time it worked. I slowly got up in her body. I realized how small she was. I approached my body. I touched myself on the car. I couldn't feel anything. Completely amazed I fell my new higher voice, which the girl had. "That's weird!" While I was impressed that my body was icy, the black masked man stepped again. "You figured it out how it works. We have to keep going." He stepped out as I followed behind him. The whole time I was in a white box in a warehouse. Not far from it, a table where we were seated together.
