Mom's Corpse

Quianna's POV "That place is for testing if 2 persons with the same identity can live together at the same time and at the same place." He answered and I saw how the person looks very hurt during the experiment. They were forced to live together but in fact they cannot do it as their existence overlapped to each other. Is this the reason why she's only messaging me? "Is there something wrong?" Mr. Lee asked me which my senses came back. "Can I ask something about this experiment?" I asked and faced him, he just gave me a nod that is why I tried to gather first my thoughts before saying something. "What if these people saw each other coincidentally? I mean can they really live at the same time?" I said to him, and he looks straight to my eyes. "No, they cannot. One of them will die, based on our experiment the primary cause is that the other personality is not suitable to live in another world." He answered. "How could that be? How will you judge which one of them will die?" I asked once again. "If you seen each other eye to eye or just touched each other, your cells will create reaction and will force to combine. That is why one of you will die." He answered once again trying to explain to me in simple words. "But can the other personality communicate with the other one?" I suddenly asked. I cannot control myself from asking, I am not interested in medical stuff or whatsoever, but I think I need to educate myself as I strongly believes that the person who's texting us is the other copy of ourselves. He paused for a second and starting to walk away from where we are standing. I have no choice but to follow him and he leads me again to his office. He opened his huge drawer and seemed like he's searching for something. He pulled out an envelope and close the drawer, he walked towards me and handed the envelope he got from there. "What is this?" I asked. "The answer to your questions." He plainly answered but I suddenly felt nervous. After that conversation of ours, he walked me until we reached the place where I parked my car. I was about to walk ahead of him, but he grabbed my wrist and make me face him. "Quianna, I know you have many questions to ask, but believe us, believe your father who made this possible." He said to me and just smiled. He removed his hand and I finally get in the car. I started the engine and start driving, leaving the place where I don't think I may witness in a usual routine of mine. I understand what they are targeting to achieve, the results they want to see, but why is it everything looked strange to me. Yeah, I mean parallel world is not usual, normal people would not open it in a conversation and start claiming that it's true. Why is Aina's father looked different to me, the usual funny and loving father I saw with my best friend. Why is everything looked suspicious. I have many thoughts running in my mind that I did not realized that I am now in front of our house. I get off the car and opened the gate, as I am now alone. I don't know where's Dylan, well the Dylan I know here, I haven't talked to him since he's processing my papers. I entered the household and sat on the couch. Mom, how much do you know that they have you kill you inside this very house where we created happy memories together? And dad, what have you done for you to die like that? Is all this worthy to stop your own lifeline? I cannot see the point in this, it looks very nonsense to me. I think this is the first time I cry because I really have this sadness in my heart, since dad died that day. I haven't cried for mom who was killed in front of me, I haven't done any proper funeral for you mom, but are you both really dead? I hope that your experiments will really save you and just live in another world happily. I wiped my tears as I noticed the envelope I got from Mr. Lee, I haven't opened it since I arrived here. I reached it from the table and pull out the documents it has inside. I scanned each paper one by one and I cannot believe what I just see. Communication between parallel worlds is possible and my very own father just had a conversation grandfather the day before grandfather died. It has the transcript of the whole conversation they had and some of the comments based on the experiment they did. I read each line and my tears are now falling by their own will. 'Protect Quianna, Mr. Grand would take care of her' 'She does not have to persuade the officials as they already gave their support since Quianna chose to reject the medical school' 'I am not angry to you, I approved you as my daughter's husband.' "Grandfather…" I just whispered on the thin air. It says here that they had their communication through messages, it's only ben possible between 2 different people as messaging oneself has not yet conducted by it. I grabbed my phone and opened my messages, I read each line and I realized that the sender kept sending me future accidents as well as crimes that involved my family or me particularly. But can I send her a message too? I start typing words, but I can't find the right words to tell her. 'How are you?'- I just sent this to the number and after minutes no one has replies to me back. Is this really possible? I just put down my phone on the table and start cooking food for myself, after all, I need to survive and unravel everything until the end. After hours of cooking, eating and even taken a bath, I just got the time to look on my phone and check if there were messages at this time, but there's nothing. I got nothing which makes me have the urge to try calling it, but the line keeps on disconnecting. I just gave up and lie down on my bed until I fell asleep. The next day, I checked my phone and it's 7 o'clock in the morning; and to my surprise, I got many missed calls from Aina and Austin. I dialed Aina and she immediately answered it. "What do you want?" I said to her, still feeling half-asleep. "How can you still be asleep in this hour?!" Aina exclaimed, which made me distanced my phone from my ear to prevent on becoming deaf. "What are you saying? And it's just 7am!" I answered back. "Quianna! Your mom's corpse has been found!" Aina exclaimed once again but this time all my sense came back and became sharp all of a sudden. "What?! Where are you? I'll come to you." I immediately said and change my clothes and just put on a jacket. I quickly drive heading to Aina's medical facility as the corpse transferred to her at 3 o'clock in the morning looks like mom but no one know it as the face it also unidentified. I arrived and just parked my car on the front of the building, and I saw Austin running towards the entrance also. I think he's been also called by Aina, I just nod at him and we both got at the morgue or autopsy room where Aina will perform the autopsy. "Aina!" I called her and she immediately run towards us. "Yana! How could you be so late? My superiors kept on asking about the report and I kept on saying that I haven't finish the autopsy!" Aina frantically said to me. "Where is the corpse?" I asked to her. "Here, wear this and follow me." she said and we quickly wear the protective gown and even masks that she gave me. I don't know what to expect, I drove on my way here without thinking anything. I am sure my mom's corpse would not be seen anywhere, I mean they both vanished together with the culprit so how would I expect the killer to just throw away the body like it's common for everyone? "Here, prepare yourself, Yana." She said and starting to uncover the body. I stare at the corpse like I am used to it, but I am sure this is mom. I cannot say any word, my body and my brain just stopped working, how could I react to this? I just cried last night, that day I made a faked death and the day I witnessed the real death. This is insane! "Are you alright?" I heard Austin said to me, but I cannot react to him. I felt that he patted my shoulder, that is when a teardrop fell again like there's an infinite water in my tear glands. "Yana, what should I report on this?" I heard Aina said to me also. I want to answer them but instead of words, a loud laugh came out from me, while crying. I became mad, I know I am crazy, but I cannot stop laughing and at the same time I cannot stop crying. "How dare you mock me? You want to challenge me? Fine, I'll play the game you like." I firmly whispered each word I said. This is the only words came out from my mouth after all those thoughts running still in my mind. I suddenly faced them, and they were both surprised by me. "Report it as unidentified, I would take care of mom's corpse. This is her and I cannot forget on how that man stabbed mom in front of me. He enjoyed his lovely time bathing in mom's blood. The killer thought that I am weak and a pushover, I will show to him that he mocked the wrong person." I continuously said and they only stared at me. I'm done crying, I'm cannot just watch here and do nothing. I'm done being a witness, now I would chase you even if you run until the end of parallel world. ---
