Chapter 81 – Basement

Mara couldn't solve the view from the window. The girl was standing behind the glass, pushing the shield against the pane. Then she dropped it. And disappeared. Just like that. Like no one was there. Jonas looked up. “What was there?” Mara swallowed. Her throat was dry even though it was soaked. “Room 214 is empty. We should go to the basement.” Elias stole an unbelieving sound. “Of course. Why not directly into the horror film cellar.” But Mara hardly heard him. She knew the girl had seen her. Not by chance. It was waiting. The box vibrated again. Short. One time. As consent. Or warning. They didn't go through the main entrance. Jonas led them laterally around the building. Behind the clinic was a small delivery farm with Trash containers, a bicycle stand and a ramp for goods delivery. A door was open. About a sign: Delivery / Technology St-Joseph Clinic Mara immediately felt that this was the right way. Or the wrong one. But the same. Inside it smelle

Chapter 82 – Two Ways

The elevator doors were open. Just for a breath. The girl looked at Mara. Her eyes were dark, exhausted, but this time without the unnatural smile. It was Lena's voice. Mara felt it into the bones. Really. Or so real that it didn't make any difference. Then the doors closed. Loud. The display jumped around. PRODUCTION Silence. Only the steps in the stairway came closer. Jonas immediately grabbed the map in Maras' hand. He looked at them, then the elevator, then the door to the hallway. “They force you to choose.” Mara stared at the closed metal door. Her heart razes. Save Lena. Find the truth. It felt cruel that both were not the same. Elias went back to the hallway. “They are right here.” Mara looked at the map. Archive 0 Place of origin. Subject 0. The beginning of everything. She knew it before she made the decision. If she only went after Lena, Eirene would keep her from each other use. The truth was the only way to make them both free. She looked a

Chapter 83 – Anna

The van came to stand quietly. Nobody got out right away. Mara couldn't. She sat there, the hand on the door, incapable of pressing down the handle. Outside, the woman stood in the gray coat on the shore. The river behind her was gray as molten lead. Gulls circled over the old Warehouses. A cold wind passed from the water and moved her hair. Anna Weber Your mother. The word felt strange. Too big. Too ineffective. Jonas was the first to speak. Very quiet. ‘Mara...’ She shook her head. Not as answer. Just to make sure she was awake. Then she opened the door and got out. Her legs trembled. The woman smiled. Not wide. A cautious, almost sad smile. Mara slowly approached her. Every step felt like a dream. Elias stayed with the car. Jonas followed her, but at a distance. The woman raised her hand. Not threatening. Almost asking. “Please. Only you.” Jonas was spanning. But Mara lifted his hand to stop him. She didn't know why. But she had to hear it alone. S

Chapter 84 – The first face

Mara couldn't breathe. The photo album almost slipped out of the girl's hands when it flipped the page. But she held it. The picture was old, yellowed, but clearly. A small body on a metal table. Mara. Not older than four. And over her, the shape of black water. Not human. Not shadows. Something liquid that had assumed shape. A face of darkness. And it was Lena's face. Or something that later became Lena's face. Mara blew backwards. Jonas was with her right away, she started on the elbow. She didn't break. She needed the hold. Anna Weber closed her eyes as if she couldn't see the picture. The bare man stepped in. His voice was calm. Almost kind. “Now you understand slowly.” Mara felt anger breaking through the shock. Hot. Sure. “What are you?” He smiled. A tired, almost human smile. ‘A administrator’. Elias raised a stone from the ground. “This is not a real profession.” The man ignored him. His view was on Mara. “What was under the island had no nam

Chapter 85 Before the First Life

Mara fell on his knees. Not because she wanted. Your body just gave up. When the face of water looked at her, it was like something inside her breaking up — not pain, not memory, but something deeper. Something that should never have been awake. Jonas knelt right next to her. He held her shoulders. His mouth moved. He called her name. But she didn't hear him. The world around them became quiet. The river bank. The archive. Anna. Everything was back. Only the water remained. The face in it opened the mouth. And Mara fell. Not physical. In itself.First there was darkness. Then water. No sea. Something underneath. Deep. Cold. Silence. Mara floated in it, though she had no body. No breath. No heart. Only Conscious. A light before her. Weak silver. It pulsated. Like the chip. Like the band. Like room 7. Like everything. When she approached, she saw that it wasn't a light. It was an eye. Huge. Open. Underwater. It looked at her. And a voice said.

Chapter 86 – The door

The heavy steel door moved slowly. Too slow to be harmless. Too fast to think long. Mara stood as solidified between everything. The waterwall behind the archive. The girl with Lena's face. The men with silver ribbons. The voice of the black chip. Jonas. Everything went to her. But the door closed. And Anna was right. It was time for exactly three. Not four. Elias understood it first. “Los!” He grabbed the door with both hands and pulled himself against it. The metal squeaked. It slowed down, but didn't stop. Jonas moved Mara towards the entrance. Anna stopped. She turned to the river. Mara ripped off her hand. ‘No!’ Anna looked at her. And for the first time there was no secret, no half truth. Just a mother who looked at her daughter. “You must enter.” Mara shook his head. “Then you too!” Anna smiled sadly. “I have already made this decision wrong.” Behind her the water moved. The huge face dissolved in dozens of hands that froze out of the river. The

Chapter 87 – The child in the well

Mara resigned involuntarily. The girl in black water looked up further. It was her. Not similar. Not almost. The same face, the same wet hair strands on the forehead, even the small bright Fleck over the right eyebrow Mara had since her childhood. Just younger. Four years old. The age of her accident. The key in her hand became hotter. Almost painful. Jonas joined her side. His breath went fast, but his eyes were clear. He looked down. And he died. “Oh, God.” Mara turned his head. “You also see them?” He nodded slowly. His face was bald. “Not only them.” Mara looked back in the shaft. And this time she realized it. Behind the little girl moved somewhat under the water surface. A second form. Little one. Also a child. A boy. He was half behind her as if he were hiding. Wet hair. Scared eyes. Jonas. As a child. Elias also came closer, looked into the well — and cursed. “Why are there children in the water? Why do I even ask questions?" The little girl

Chapter 88 – Who stands next to you?

Silence. Nobody moved. The knock came back. Three slow hits against the metal. Then Anna's voice, damped by the heavy door: “Mara, listen to me. Do not look at Elias.’ Elias died. Then he slowly turned to the door. “What do you mean?” His voice sounded normal. Totally normal. And that's why Mara ran over his back. Jonas’ view immediately shot Elias. Then to the well. Then back. He grabbed Mara's wrist so suddenly that she pulled it together. “Don’t turn around.” Mara had already turned halfway to Elias. She stopped. Her heart struck painfully against her ribs. “Why?” Jonas’ voice was hardly more than a whisper. “Because he hasn’t mirrored anything for a minute.” Mara didn't understand. Then she understood. Since they were in the archive, Elias had a moment too late at each of her steps reacts. When Jonas spoke, Elias had turned his head a heartbeat later. Little things. Nothing. Until now. Mara swallowed. Slowly, slowly, she saw Jonas. He didn't look to

Chapter 89 – Not this time

Mara felt something in her. Not suddenly. More like a mist that had been her whole life. The echo. The island. Lena. Jonas. The well. Everything had always led her to the same point: to a choice. Leave who behind. Save who. Lose who. The little girl waiting on the stairs. The black hands on the door now scratched over the stone floor. Metal smiled. The gap became wider. Jonas gently released her hands from his jacket. ‘Mara —’ She broke him. ‘No’ Her voice was calm. It's so quiet that even she's shocked. Jonas looked at her. Then he wrinkled the forehead. Mara passed him. Right to the well. To the open shaft. She grabbed the stone edge with both hands. The little girl smiled. It believed she had chosen. But Mara looked right at it. For the first time without fear. “I’m not leaving anyone.” The child's smile died. The black hands on the door stopped. Even the water in the shaft was quiet. Mara felt how the black chip vibrated in the box. Angry. Alm

Chapter 90 – Awakening

The display almost instantly extinguished. Only the three words remained burned. Too late. She's awake. Mara stared at it. Then she took a look at her mother. Anna Weber saw the phone, and all the color was out of her face. “Who sent this?” Mara shook his head. ‘Unknown.’ But she knew that wasn't true. She knew. It wasn't the bare man. Not an egg. It was Lena. Or what happened to her in the hospital. Jonas got up. His eyes were solid. “Then she still lives.” Mara wrapped the keychain. The little white pendant cuts into her skin. St-Joseph Clinic Room 214. The real patient. The well had given them the way. Not to the truth. The last chance. Elias jumped up and washed water out of the face. “Please tell me that we are not going back to the hospital.” No one answered. That was enough answer. Anna joined Mara. Slow down. She took her wet hair out of her forehead, as a mother took it in a feverish child would. This little movement hit Mara almost harder th
