Capítulo 8: Vicky
I don't believe in these things but now I see that there is another world aside from ours and other dimensions that we couldn't decipher or fathom with our on limited mind.
So, I don't want to break that mystery but I want to know what is happening to me. That shadow can definitely feel and touch me, so I think it touched Dalia too in some ways. I really need to clear my head now and so I decided to check the bar down town. Dalia is busy talking with a client at the office and will be off at five anyway. So I need to freshen up and forget about the dilemma I know I would soon be facing on my experiments. The bar isn't that packed today, unlike those days when me and my friends would come here and drink beer. I was exhausted from the thought of that shadow ruining my life and all. But why is it that I feel it's just near and at any minute would appear in front of me…and wow!
There's this girl at the front door of the bar, standing, looking from right to left, and when she saw me came walking to where I was seating. I got scared because I thought she was just a figment of my imagination, so I was about to stand up to get away from her, but she stopped me by holding my shoulder. Hey, are you, Marnie?, the beautiful girl asked smiling at me when I turned around to look at her face. Ye…yess! I am, and you are?
Vicky, Victoria!, I have heard a lot about you and you are indeed fascinating as they say, the girl held my shoulder and then moved her hand to touch my cheek moving up to my lips. Ah yes, thank you. It was nice to meet you too, but I need to get going, I added smiling back but when I felt something is off with her, I decided to leave the bar. Marnie, you can't escape me, I am you and you are me!. You created me, I am not a figment of your imagination. I am real, feel me, see!?, Vicky said and took my hand and placed it on top of her breast. I was a shadow before but now I am human and your mind is so powerful that you made me real.
I was about to faint when Vicky told me her story and about how my invention is now a success. But the adverse effect is now, I have my alter ego and she is alive, right in front of me. This can't be true, please wake me up, please….I told myself over and over again until I fainted, falling down the bar wooden floor with Vicky kept on calling my name repetitively.
The next time I know I was waking up in a hospital bed and Dalia is beside me, holding, kissing my hand, her face full of worry. Hey!, how are you feeling?, Dalia breathing a sigh of relief.
I am fine, now that you're here!, I said in a whisper as if my throat is clogged blocking the air out of my lungs. Thank God that Vicky isn't…..I said to myself relieved that Victoria, my alter ego isn't real, but to my dismay.
Hi it's good you're awake!, I was worried about you earlier, fainting like that, Vicky said carrying two cups of hot coffee in both of her hands.
Oh yeah!, Marnie, this is Vicky, your long lost cousin from Vermont. She said she's been searching for her relatives since been orphaned for a long time. I didn't know you have a cousin before. Well, nice to meet you and I should get going, I'll be back for you later, the doctor said you can get out of here tomorrow. Mwah!, rest well and I'll catch you later, Dalia added kissing my forehead and she's gone.
Ah, what are you doing here? Marnie asked seriously without looking at Vicky. I wanted to make sure you're okay cause if not that's the death of me too. Remember that I am you, right?
Stop it, don't do this please, my invention is for the mind, not to create an image or a person, or you?, If you are what you say you were?, Marnie now angry.
Try me, ask me questions that only you can answer. Those things you most crave about or the dark secret desire you have when you think of your dear Dalia!, Vicky said teasing and challenging the girl on the hospital bed, with eye balls almost falling out of their sockets. What the f….? Marnie not believing with her own eyes, Vicky is indeed her and she knew everything, even the time when she and her friends went to the beach, the sleepovers and the night when Dalia made out with her. Vicky, why are you here? Is it because of the science fair this coming the next month and all?
No, I am here for good. I want to be with you forever! We are inseparable now and I'll make sure of it, Vicky said convincing herself it's the right thing to do. No, you can't be serious. I am you and you are supposed to be inside me not here and living my alter ego for me. You are me and we are supposed to be one, right? Marnie seemed confused now.
No, I am here to fulfill your dreams and wishes. Plus the things you couldn't do, you can now because I will help you accomplish them, Vicky added sweetly hugging Marnie closely to her that the poor girl couldn't breathe properly.
Stop, Vicky, stop!, wait my cell is ringing, please hand it over here!, Marnie asked politely fixing her disheveled hair due to the hugs. Yes, Doc, huh, so the tests? What?, yeah, I know it's possible and now I believe that the experiment is a success indeed. But there's one thing I want to tell you….ah! Marnie was about to tell Professor Stevens about Vicky and the naughty girl took the cellphone and turned it off. Bye!, then laughed hard. Hello, hello!, Marnie!?, Doc Stevens shouted on the other line, thinking her apprentice is still there.
Why did you do that?, I need to ask him about you and what I should do while you're here with me? Annoying me!, I added irritated by Vicky's impertinence. Hmp, you're me and I am you. So technically you're angry at yourself for being an ass and so stupid, Vicky said smiling at me as if endlessly.
Ohhhhhh!!! I am in deep shit now, this is definitely not a dream or a figment of my imagination. This is something I wouldn't be able to shake off for a very long time, I thought breathing heavily as I close my eyes so I wouldn't see the devilish face of this beautiful girl Vicky, my alter ego, me!
What should I do?. Helpppppp!!!!!
