soft thuds could be heard across the hallway leading into a dark room under the floors of the most prominent military base ( base 3).
walking into the dark room only lit up by a florescent light bulb above the seat stationed in the center of the room.
a very thin looking man sat cuffed to the seat, looking almost totally helpless and dead , at the sound of the footsteps approaching him he smiled, his plans had finally worked out .
walking to the sides of the seat, the man un cuffed him and removed every chain from his body, standing up from the seat which he had been for a long period of years he stretched his body and pupping sounds could be heard from every joint in his body.
the man who had just freed him stood till like a zombie not knowing what he was doing , the spell on him had finally started to wear off, when he entered into the room he was acting out of his own accord but now the spell put on him was wearing off and his eyes were no longer clouded but rather vibrant.
millions of questions went through his mind and he finally attempted to leave the room since it appeared that the fugitive was not really paying any attention to him.
if there was nothing they were warned about in the military base it was about never entering the dungeon rooms but today he was on parole duty and he'd been dozing off during his shift although he was fully conscious but he couldn't control his body and suddenly his body started moving on its own, stealing the keys to the most dangerous room in the dungeon and that was how he was here now
swiftly he ran towards the door hitting the alarm button but the fugitive didn't seem to flinch about the entire thing, finally he was out but all that was left was to climb up the stairs out of the dungeon and he'd be safe.
making his way out of the stairs, he could finally see the last stairs and suddenly he was back in the dungeon rooms in front of the fugitive , the man looked thin and slimy with a deformed face and a weird smile across his face
" you shouldn't have ran tho, and the alarm wasn't really necessary because I'd have let you go but now I need to use your identity " smiling even more weirdly as his distorted face begane to transfigure into the face of the soldier before him.
the man crawled back whimpering as he stared at himself , this was a monster before him he wanted to run but for some reason his body had already given up on fighting or running , the figure carrying his face began to walk over to him smiling more weirdly but not in a different face rather in his own face and finally arriving before him he began melting and everything went dark
taking the soldier before him, he started absorbing his memories and then his life essence and finally absorbing the entirety of the soldiers body into himself.
he could hear footsteps from the staircase , seems the soldiers had started coming to stop him from escaping but it was too late now he was already a different person
falling to the ground at the corner of the room, he took out his claws and plunged it into his sides allowing the blood sleep out and he began shouting for help
" Identify yourself soldier " another soldier stated looking in his direction , it was the leader of squad 1 according to the soldiers memories and he was sure they were there to stop the escaping fugitive
" John stone, I heard a commotion coming from here so I immediately activated the alarms but I was too late he had already broken out and injured me beyond functionality .
" take him to the medical ward " the man stated as other soldiers helped the injured soldier up and took him to the medical ward but on his way out he established eye contact with the leader of squad 1 making him not to investigate further into the matter but rather to report the event as plainly as possible
when he was left at the medical ward, he separated himself from the dead body and dropped it on the bed while we escaped into the corners of the streets transforming into a boy in his young age between 18 to 19 years
in a few hours drafts from various cities would come into the military and this was the perfect opportunity to infiltrate the military again , he still had bigger plans in motion and when he was done the world would finally understand those words he said years ago
"a tree cut off without its roots pulled out would sprout again " he smiled as he said these words walking out of the corners of the streets
****
