“The beginning of the end!” That was the phrase that Lara used!
“That’s right” Said Emily after switching for another image.
This time the image was totally different, in this picture more and more ships(aka UFOS) came to the earth.
“With the treaty, the earth received 200 hundreds emigrants from the space, at first, everything was a utopia, them, gave us their technology and human race quickly develop until the year 2090 when we finally enter the galactic era, which means, we could travel thought space at the speed of light, that’s right, it merely took us 30 years to when to the galactic era with their technology, however, while everyone was celebrating, something dark happen in the shadows.”
Emily changed for another image, this time, it was a picture of a man……or something that looked like a man…. However this man had….. what the hell is that?
“Is that…a horn?”
“Yes, this thing growing up on his head is what we call a “worm” , the first case was in Spain, a man appear out of nowhere and began to attack everything on his way, with the help of the police we managed to take down this…man, however, more and more of things began to appear all over the world” Said Emily
“Soon enough, someone discovered the cause of it”
The image suddenly changed, the picture of a woman appear, she had black hair and a beautiful pair of eyes, although she was old, something of here seems familiar……WAIT A MINUTE!
“THAT’S!”
“That’s right, this is doctor Eva Wegner, she and a group of scientifics discover that a worm infected this people, its was a new kind of worm, however, this worm was quite peculiar, because it could resist any kind of environment even the harshest one, however, it needed a host to actually develop, if that, it was like a bacterium, floating on the air.”
“Are you tying to tell that…. They bring those things here?!”
“No, they didn’t bring them here” Said Emily
“Then-!”
“We did” Said Emily while looking at the worm.
We did? What did she mean…….wait!
“You mean!”
“Yes, as you are thinking, these worms ARE THEM” Said Emily
“I… I don’t understand!”
“They are parasites, who survives by eating their host and possessing their body, they have done it before and now…. It was our turn” Said Emily in a serious tone.
“Then… Arthur is..”
“He was a normal human, just like you and me, however, after the “worm” infected him, he turned into that” Said Emily.
“……Wait, something is wrong…..why would they go there and kill people in broad light! If they are so smart, then they should have keep it as a secret right?!”
“Good job noticing it, however, its not they exposed themselves on purpose”
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
“You mean?”
“You see, not every creature in this world is compatible with them, so, sometimes, there are…. Accidents, like this one, they call those “accidents” , parasites” Said Emily.
“Parasite…. You mean that you…!”
“That’s right, I, and so as you, are “accidents”, if you want to make the history short, you were infected by a worm” Said Emily.
When the truth was revealed, I feel arcades in my body, I was shivering all the way to the bottom, I could barely breathe.
“Are…..are….are you trying….to tell me….. that I have….one of those….things……inside my body?”
“To be more precise, is in your brain”
“BUAAHHHH-”
I threw up.
I couldn’t stop it anymore.
Emily just looked at me and patted my back.
“Its alright, just let it go”
After some time, I finally stopped, well, it's also thanks that I don’t have anything more in mt stomach to threw up.
“You want to continue?” Asked Emily.
“CONTINUE”
“Alright, as I was saying ¡, there some times when the worm cant take complete control of the host, however, when a worm is inside a body, it cant leave, it will live and die in its host, so, thanks to the compatibility, the body suffer these strange…mutations, this is what we call a parasite level 1” Said Emily.
“But….how are we able to maintain control?, are we going to lose our minds or are we going to suffer those weird mutations?” I asked nervously.
“No, and its all thanks to your sister” Said Emily.
“What do you mean?”
“After we found the existence of those worms, people on earth were scared so all the nations in the world decided that they should leave, however, it was too late, them had already infected 99% of humanity, it was a dark era, I was born just about this time, earth became another colony for them, we had already lost all hope…. However, your sister managed to create a kind of…. Serum, this serum was a kind of Nano-parasite that that its own intelligence, just like them, your sister called it LARA” Said Emily.
“LARA!”
“That’s right, the job of LARA was easy, act as another parasite and infect the host, when these two fought for the body, they will kill each other leaving the brain intact, however, the properties that the parasite had on the host would remain, that is why…. I can do this” Said Emily while a small flame appears on her finger.
“However, the bet was high, we needed to get infected before we could use the serum, so it was a tough choice, but not for your sister, she didn’t blink an eye and infected herself with the two viruses” Said Emily.
“And the result was……?”
“She became the first and the most powerful parasite on earth, name : Emily Wegner, code: 001 , codename : Einstein. ”
