Pov. Boris
I remember this moment as if I was dreaming an endless nightmare.
Alice had done something that had made the elevator that was supposed to take Henry and me to the top of the studio now going down hard and fast.
I huddled in myself, in a corner, as far away from the exit as possible. I covered my eyes so as not to see the horror that was taking place before Henry and me. My knees trembled with fear, and Alice's voice rang in my ears. She wanted ME:
-Bring me back, my Boris! It's the perfect Boris I ever seen, and I want it! I need it! I need its insides so that I can be beautiful again!
Her demonic, chilling voice resounded in the elevator. I didn't want to end up like my previous clones, but out of fear I was only able to run and hide. But now I had nowhere to go. Crouching so suddenly, I felt a touch. I became even more numb and unable to move.
-Don't be afraid Boris! I won't let it do anything to you!
That soothing and good-natured, yet loud, tone of voice belonged to Henry. I cuddled up to him and didn't want to let go. Then I saw darkness.
I woke up lying on the floor near the destroyed elevator and Henry unconscious. I slowly got up and put the animator against the elevator. Hoping so, I started to shake it not too hard, but not too lightly either. I don't know how long I did it, but at some point I heard soft music. Then I felt something grab me from behind and pull me into the darkness and pull me away from Henry at the speed of light.
I went numb and turning my head I saw the deformed part of Alice's face. The angel hit me and I lost consciousness.
Pov. 3-person
In the abandoned part of the studio, Alice Angel could be heard. Holding an unconscious wolf on her shoulder, the angel entered a certain room. The room was not large. Inside there was a monitoring system with a microphone, a little further there was a table with things that Henry had collected for Alice. Next to them were books and an axe. The most striking thing was the table with stripes and above it a light bulb like in a hospital over an operating table.
The angel went to the table and tied Boris to it. Then she started walking around the room looking for tools.
As Alice walked around the room, Boris began to regain consciousness. The wolf slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He saw the angel standing at a nearby table and throwing something into the bag on it.
He looked down and saw that he was tied to a lab table. At that moment, his heart went to his throat. Desperately, he began to fidget. Alice heard the noises. She quickly turned to the wolf and smiled evilly.
-It won't work. You won't be able to free yourself from them Boris.
At her words, Boris stopped breaking away and now he was shaking with fear. Alice walked over to him and stroked the terrified wolf's head.
-I still have something to do in the other room. Lie here quietly. I'll be back soon.
With that, Alice left the room. Boris looked around the room. He was looking for anything that he could use to free himself, or to defend himself later. At the same time, he tried to listen to what Alice was doing in the next room. He secretly hoped that Alice would be at home for as long as possible and that Henry would be able to save him. After all, hope dies last. Now he regretted a little that he had not written it on the walls in the studio. Time passed, however, and finally Alice returned to the room where Boris was tied.
-So how is Boris? Are you ready?
Alice asked him. The wolf shook his head desperately, and black tears fell from his eyes. Alice then walked over to the bag on the table and closed it. She walked over to a lever hanging nearby and pulled it down. At that moment, the table with Boris began to fall over so that it was finally lying horizontally.
Alice took the bag of tools and began to push the table with Boris against the wall with another lever. Pulling on it, an elevator suddenly appeared in the wall. It wasn't as big as the one Henry and Boris were riding, but it was big enough to hold Boris on the table and Alice.
When the angel packed the wolf into the elevator, she pressed a button and began to slide.
After some time, the elevator stopped and opened the door. Then Alice rode with Boris into a huge chamber. Boris began to look around, the chamber was drenched in ink. The liquid itself was coming down from a very high place, creating like streams of water when someone washes themselves. At the top there were also cages hung with long, thick chains. In addition, very little light entered the room.
The wolf raised its head more and saw colossal and massive body parts nearby. The right hand was closest to him, which was so huge that it could cover the entire back of the wolf.
Boris was shaking like jelly looking at it all. Alice at the same time began to lay out the surgical instruments on a nearby table, when she finished she put on her apron and taking a knife in her hand, approached the tied wolf. Boris, seeing the knife in Alice's hand, widened his eyes in fear and began to squeal quietly and wriggle again. Alice smiled at the wolf and said:
-So let's start the Boris operation.
She raised the knife above her head and a moment later plunged it into the wolf's chest. If Boris had been able to speak, he would have screamed so loudly at that moment that his scream would probably have spread throughout the studio. But Boris didn't speak, so he just started crying hard. His black tears streamed from his black eyes.
Alice cut the wolf's entire chest so that its ribs came out and showed its organs. Overjoyed, Alice with a maniacal smile on her lips cut out one of the wolf's lungs and a kidney. Boris fidgeted and cried. His eyes were half open, he wished it would end. He even stopped hoping that Henry would find him and save him.
At that time, Alice implanted organs into a colossal body nearby. When she did this, she implanted another heart from 2 and returned to Boris. The wolf was crying, all the ink was flowing out of his cage.
The angel was about to cut out the wolf's heart, when suddenly her monitoring shone. Curious, the angel approached the device and saw that Henry was walking up the stairs.
The angel smiled and turned on the microphone:
-I see you there, my little errand boy. Your angel is always watching. What is it that keeps your going? Is it the thrill of the hunt? The thirst for your freedom? Or perhaps… You're just looking for a little, friendly, wolf… Better hurry errand boy. Boris is having trouble staying in one piece.
She said and turned off the microphone. Then she walked over to Boris with the tablet and shook him. Boris opened his eyes and looked at her.
-Look Boris who is desperately looking for you.
She said to him, showing the picture with the man. At the sight of him, Boris smiled slightly and single tears fell from his eyes.
-I advise you to take a close look at Boris. This will be the last time you see it.
At these words, Boris made terrified eyes and quickly looked at the image from the tablet again. Alice then put the tablet down. The wolf tried to follow him with his eyes. He wanted to look at his friend a little more. A small moan escaped his lips, but that didn't convince Alice to change her mind. The angel took the knife in her hand and bent over Boris's body. She cut out his heart. Surprisingly, when she did, Boris did not die. Alice put the heart in the body of the monster and put the knife on the table. Now she grabbed the axe and walked over to Boris. The wolf began to shake with fear at the sight of the axe. Until he saw his reflection in the metal part of the tool.
-Boris, thank you for your help.
She thanked Alice and swung at the wolf's head. At that moment, the ink flew out of the severed head in a stream. From a once living and cowardly wolf, now his head expressed no emotion. Only in the place of the eyes were black X.
Alice took the head and sewed it onto the huge body. She then inserted wires into his head and injected ink from a syringe into the monster's body. Then she walked over to the machine and turned it on, electrifying the monster. After that, the creature began to move its hands until it came to life completely.
At the sight of the monster that Alice had created, she smiled and said:
-Henry, you'll be saying hello to your friend soon.
At these words, Alice began to laugh mentally and her laughter spread throughout the room.
