14 Chapter 14- Arrival (1/2)

Dubs awoke in an unfamiliar bed. He gazed around him, noticing that the orientation of the room had changed.

”Where am I? This is not the room I fell asleep in.”, Dubs pondered.

Dubs reached for his side and felt the cold metal of the dagger, and he rubbed his fingers across the engravings.

”It doesn't seem as if I've been robbed or kidnapped, but this room seems to be oddly similar to the previous one I slept in. Why is the window on the opposite side of the room though?”

Dubs slid out of bed and peeked out of the door. The same hallway as before presented itself before him, and it was dimly lit by the first few beams of the sun in the early morning.

The door to the room he previously laid in remained wide open, and inside the room was a horrifying sight.

The bed was removed, and there was a gaping hole in the floor. Dubs realized that dirt and grime covered his body and clothes, and that the hole in the floor did not seem to be something that was smoothly cut.

There were splinters of wood surrounding the hole, as if someone had forcefully torn the floor from its base.

”It seems like I've done it again. I didn't pay much attention to this when I was trapped in the lab, but now that i'm outside the lab I'm going to have to get a better control on things. How am I supposed to stop these occurrences though?” Dubs wondered

During his time in the labs, he often awoke to see a scene of destruction surrounding him. The first time this had occurred was when Dubs was 8 years old- three years into his initial experimentation past the incubation phase.

At first, Dubs was terrified by these occurrences, but as time passed on he had accepted them to be a regular event that was out of his control. Since Dubs had never needed to maintain good relations with the people experimenting on him, he never bothered to stop it from happening.

Now that Dubs had joined the resistance, it would harm his reputation among them if he couldn't control his other side. He deduced that he should try to get a better handle on it, but couldn't figure out how to do so.

”Well, thinking too much about this isn't going to do me any good. I'll just leave it in the back of my mind in case a way to solve this problem comes up. The best thing to do for now would be to lock myself up in my sleep to prevent anything from happening. ”

This would prove to be an arduous task as well, as Dubs would not have an easy time constructing a space that would be able to contain his other self, however he would become a scientist and begin to research magic to work towards this purpose.

”At the very least, I now have a goal to work towards. I should go and apologize to the others, and figure out what they intend to do from here on out.”, Dubs decided.

Walking down the stairs Dubs heard the clanking of dishes and some light footsteps. He saw the three party members having breakfast in the kitchen, and Clark was once again handling the cooking.

Lilith looked up fearfully, and seemed to be tormented by Dubs presence.

Ivan gave him a cold stare but slowly walked closer to Dubs

In the room to the right, these was a gaping hole in the floor that dug into the foundation of the manor. Dirt and grime was spewed across the living room in all directions, and Dubs put his hand behind his head, scratching himself, and gave a short smile.

”Heh heh. Sorry about whatever mess I caused last night. It didn't occur to me that my other self would cause such a mess for you guys. I hope nobody got hurt. Were you enough to deal with him?”

Dubs asked Ivan

Ivan relaxed himself and began to pace back and forth. ”Well, he certainly was a handful, and he wanted to destroy everything. He didn't harm anyone, and while he was nuts I didn't sense any killing intent towards us. It seems your subconscious has enough control over him so that he will not harm any of the people who will assist you.”

”I see...” Dubs began to think once again. ”This is the first time I've ever had this happen among people who weren't out to attack me. I guess as crazy as my other self is, he still works in his own self interest, and it wouldn't benefit him if I were to die, or make enemies with the resistance. We may be on the same page then. ”

”Well, I think you gave Lilith quite the scare, but in the resistance we're accustomed to being a step away from death at all times. Rest easy, we will help you to deal with him.”, Ivan reassured Dubs.

”And he might even make for a useful ally, if we can get him on our side.”
