Subject B-24 Part 3

John stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Julia's face.

"It's me. I'm here," he said softly.

Her pink eyes narrowed slightly, and she opened her mouth, her lips twisting.

"Don't bother," one of the scientists said, "she won't even recognise you."

Julia's eyes were beaming with life, but at the same time, her gaze was hollow, empty and almost cold.

John was about to leap towards her and stop her from hurting anyone when she disappeared from sight in a flash.

The group blinked and she was standing a few metres away, a thin blade materialised in her hand. She lunged forward, slashing at John.

John's eyes grew wide but his instinct reacted fast and he ducked, narrowly avoiding her glowing blade.

As John fought Julia, he tried to remain calm and collected, but a part of him knew that he needed to take control of the situation.

She jumped back, dodging his attacks and slashing at him relentlessly, her eyes glowing with a deep fire.
