Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 227: The Key

"Girls?" I asked myself...weird.

"Woah! Do I have one of those?" Trinity's voice asked me as she tried to open my, I mean her pants, but it was just the shape, not an exact copy, thank god.

The clone that was Eva ran over to me and gave me a sandy hug. God this was weird hugging myself, but on the plus side, I got to think whatever the fuck I wanted for now!

"How long will this last?" I asked.

"As long as you let us use these small parts of your power, we will be able to stay in these forms," Keepa explained while doing some stretches. 

"Okay, what about how you look? I can't keep this up, it's fucking weird, can I change e here," I said as the needed information surfaced.

"Good, while I am like this I only have my own memories, not all the banked ones. So, I only know how things work. When you are ready to take the next Gate in I will return and help you."

"Sounds good, now I am going to do a small amount of digging, but you can stop me if I go too far. I want to get a shape for you that will be most familiar to you. You have been locked up for a long time, let me get something to make you really feel like you are back," I said stepping forward, and placing a palm over Keepa's copy of myself.

"There is nothing to hide, I was created by Gripton and raised on The Godless Green Earth. If things are going as planned finally, then that means The Creator is there now to save the rest of our race. A mistake was made, and now your brother will have to spend a long time there, but at the same time, he is already back and working to complete the second last world."

I didn't bother asking, didn't matter, a whole bunch of talking was all it was. Even though they were out of these bodies, they were still in my head and now I could browse them like files almost, but I was only able to scroll through memories. 

It didn't take me long, but I was surprised by what he had looked like before this. Dark green skin with a pair of white jagged stripes that wrapped around like ribs from his spine to front. Gialazsaur, fucking Gripton, had to be some dumb name.

I changed his shape, and opened my eyes, the color and stripe didn't show up so he just looked human. Though I did give him a pair of shorts, god knows what Trinity might try to do to him.

I turned to Eva next, but I didn't need to pry into her mind. I rubbed my hand across her face as I closed my eyes and created a perfect image of Nina, but I changed Eva to have pulled back vines and glasses, in a librarian's outfit, whoops, did I do that? Hehe!

"This is perfect Hyde! Thank you!" Eva squealed and gave me a hug.

I could see Violet and Tamika rolling their eyes at me, but I just grinned. They were staying back and letting me help these people first which was nice, but I would hear about Eva later, hehe.

I walked over to the last two clones. One was standing at attention and the other had its arm cross. 

"Ready for me to take a look, and find the real you in there?"

"Yes! Finally! Now you are going to see how irresistible I really am!" Trinity said, giving me one of my own big stupid grins, wow, it really was big and goofy looking.

I reached forward and placed my hand on the clone's head. I prepared to drop in, but the second I tried, something horrible happened.

My mind was ripped into four separate views, and I couldn't concentrate on any of them. It felt like my mind was being torn apart, and I could feel myself screaming out, but I couldn't stop it.

She was with all and me, at the same time but not the same person, but the same. It was like trying to make sense of something that didn't make any. Vampire, Human, Elf...ORC!

I was blown back off my feet as I found it and ripped myself out. I could hear voices, but my ears were ringing and my throat hurt from screaming. 

What had I just seen? There were four Trinity's, but none of them were Trinity. How did I know that? Who the fuck was this...wait, wait, WAIT! 

I ripped open my eyes and stood up like nothing had just happened, and stormed up to Trinity.

"@#$$#....@#$$#! FUCK! That is you in there right? @#$$#! Oh, this stupid fucking game!"

"Hyde? Why do you keep talking weirdly like that? Who do you think I am?" Trinity asked backing away from me.

I was shaking, and hot tears were rolling down my face. 

"It's you! YOU ARE THE REASON WHY WE ARE HERE BUT I CAN'T FUCKING SAY YOUR NAME! I just want to fucking scream! I AM GOING TO FUCKING KILL HIM!"

Everyone was backing away now, I couldn't stop it. Whatever I had just done by looking into her head just snapped something inside of me. The memory of racing to get to the Second Life Game Center rang through my head at hyper speed. 

I was holding the Gates closed that I hadn't absorbed, but it was straining past my limits. I kept seeing her face, the memory always stopped when they lifted the helmet and slowed. 

I was better than this. I burned it all, set flame to the thought, and buried the ash. I pulled back and took a deep breath. 

I had to get my shit together. This was far too important, and if there were four that meant that only one was her, but they were all with one of us. I would need to get this to Gripton, and he would have to tell the others somehow. Trinity was the key.
