Elera had a long sleep; she could hear the movements around her, but she couldn’t move her body. She felt trapped in her body again. Meeting Cassian and finding out he is her son was too much for Elera to bear. Though she was unconscious, her mind was still active. She finally was able able to open her eyes. Her eyes moved around the room to see where she was. The room was dark except for the city lights that shone beyond the glass walls. The city sounded so alive, just like the first time she was moved to the room. It still felt very strange to her. Nothing about this world felt human to her anymore. What disturbed her the most was not the technology but Cassian. Her son. Elera couldn’t even imagine having a son that big.Elera remembered the way he looked at her, spoke with her. She remembered the longing in his eyes. Elera sat up slowly in bed. Reminiscing about Cassian. Her gaze stared at the city lights. “Cassian knows something; they all do,” she whispered.“And somehow I’m

Elera lay on the bed, still unconscious, as the medical staff tried to find out what was wrong. The older director turned to the guard who came with news concerning Cassian, “How many minutes more before he gets here?” “In less than five minutes, sir.” his answer made everyone in the room feel tense. They haven’t prepared for a day like this; everything was going out of control. “Is there a way to stall him?” one of the directors asked. Nobody could answer that question because they all knew there was no way to stop Cassian Hartwell. Although young, he has established himself as an immovable force.As they were all contemplating what to do, they heard heavy footsteps outside the door. The directors and the medical staff all stopped their actions, there gaze shifted to the door.“He is here already”, the older executive mumbled in his breath. The atmosphere in the room was very tense, and all gazes were fixed on the door.The door to the room finally opened, and bodyguards rushed in,
Five Fathers. Six Sons. One Secret Experiment. The Word That Broke the Silence
Elera was shocked; she couldn’t comprehend what the man had called her. The noise around her became distant in her ears, and the words kept ringing in her ears. Elera couldn’t believe the man called her his mother. Her mind flashed back to the information she saw previously, the reproductive files. Elera couldn’t remember ever being pregnant before she was frozen. The staff members beside Elera also stood stunned; they didn’t expect Cassian to share such information with Elera. It took them a while to regain control of themselves. Elera tried to move the wheelchair she was sitting on closer to the room, but it won’t bulge. She could still see Cassian standing there watching her. His entire gaze was fixed on her.Elera raised her voice a little for Cassian to hear her. “Why did you call me that?” Cassian paused a little before he responded again, “That’s because… You are my mother.” His voice was heard again from the speakers. Elera still found it hard to believe what he was sayin

There was a change in the atmosphere before he even arrived. There was an unusual silence in the air. The type of silence that comes before a storm. Elera could help but observe way the staff members moved. Elera had been sitting near the archive room doorway with two medical staff members behind her. Two guards stepped in front of her without any explanation. “Doctor Voss, we need you to return to your designated area,” one of the guards said with a hint of hostility in his voice. Elera felt angry, first, because nobody answered her questions, and now they are restricting her movements. Elera responded angrily, “I didn’t leave my designated area. Besides, you can see me with the medical staff. The guards didn’t respond; instead, they signaled to the medical staff. The staff had no choice but to obey them. Elera knew there was nothing she could do at that moment, especially not in her weak state. The medical staff guided her forward; there was no room for negotiations. The wheelch

The medical staff helped Elera into her wheelchair. Elera turned to the nurse,” I want to tour the facility.” The nurse hesitated at first: “I will have to ask for clearance first.” The nurse typed a message into a device she was holding. “She wants to tour the facility. Do we have permission to go ahead?” They all waited in an awkward silence before a response came in. “Permission granted.” “Doctor Voss, we have been granted clearance.” Elera didn’t look fazed; she just wanted to leave the room. She needed to understand the world around her. The two medical staff stood by her side to support her and also monitor her vitals. The doors of the room slid open, and the wheelchair moved on its own as if knowing the direction Elera wanted to go.As they moved along the Corridor, Elera’s eyes moved quickly across the corridor. Seh still felt amazed with how ar the world had advanced. The corridor was so clean that one could see one’s reflection in it. Machines floated past er without even

“She doesn’t know about the children,” the Doctor replied to the Nurse. Elera could not describe what she felt at that moment. Those words keep echoing in her mind, “Children, when… when did I have children?” Elera could feel a sharp pain in her chest. She could not believe the information she was hearing. “But I have been in a coma for twenty-five years; there is no way I could have had children then, right?” Elera lay in bed, frozen from shock. Elera felt maybe she misunderstood them, but deep down, she knew she didn’t. The way they spoke, they sounded sure of what they were saying. Elera, enduring the pain, turned her body to the other side. She felt a cold shiver as she focused on the skylines of the city. “Children, but how…” She could not wrap her mind around it. She tried to remember events from twenty-five years ago that made her fall into a coma, but she couldn’t remember anything. Her mind was blank.Elera couldn’t help but feel fear and a strong feeling that something w

Back at the facilityThe lights in Elera’s room grew dim. For a while, Elera was trying to process what happened to the light. The mechanical hub she was placed in suddenly changed its pitch. The sound is increasing every minute. “What is happening? Are they doing something to the machine?” Elera

The silence in the room felt like a pretense. Elera could feel its heaviness. Elera lay still, looking at the pale glow of the ceiling lights above her. She sighed deeply; her breathing was shallow, but it was steady. Her eyes moved across the room again. The feeling of someone watching her didn

After a while, the voices faded away. Elera could no longer hear their arguments anymore, as if they had moved further away. The distance between them grew. There was silence in the room again. The only sound in the room was the steady hum of machines and the sound of her heartbeat. Elera lay sti

The numbers displayed on the screen remain the same. Elera was still trying to wrap her head around what she was seeing. She stared at the screen till her eyes became blurry. “TWENTY-FIVE YEARS, How did this happen?” The words kept echoing in her head. Elera was having difficulty processing the in
