{XIII. Completed

- Matthew, do not forget: I'm trusting you to complete all tests with accuracy and caution. I will never forgive you if any failure of those happen.
- He's in good hands.
- I hope you're aware of what you're saying. I am going to be back in a month to see how he is progressing.
- Sleep without worry, since I can not do that.
 Rido gave that smile that Matthew always hated and climbed into the helicopter, which was already preparing to leave. The boy watched the company's owner out to finally feel secure and at peace as before. Just a month, is not it? It was long enough that he could put the whole plan in place. And when Rido found out? It would be too late to do anything, since everything he needed had already been realized. He went down the elevator to the ground, where he saw Dustin preparing to leave.
- Wait a moment. Need to talk to you.
 Dustin turned and walked toward Matthew.
- I need you to come here tomorrow as soon as possible. I have something to tell you and I can not say now.
- It's ok.
 The boy did not know to where Matthew was getting at, but would know the next day.
- Welcome back, Dustin! - Chiara was the first to greet him, uping the stairs.
- Why are you with that face? Did something happen?
- Rido Stardust was in the company today.
- Who?
- The owner of the company. And he did not seem such a good person as well. And the way he spoke to me was like I was a mere object being studied.
- I was already expecting that.
- In addition, there is something quite wrong between him and Matthew.
 Blair showed up interested.
- Why? Weren't they friends?
- It seems that all changed after what happened with Melissa. From what I saw, Rido despises and insults Matthew whenever possible because of it. The last thing he said before descending the elevator was "I do not want another monstrous failure like that." Matthew confirmed it is Melissa and said that Rido considers her a monster.
 Blair was with the laptop on the table and frowned shortly after he entered.
- Is this man the owner of the company?
 Dustin approached and felt the hairs of his neck stand on end when he saw the face of Rido Stardust.
- Yes. It's himself.
- It seems a selfish infamous.
- Matthew said the same thing.
- Take care of this man.
- Do not worry. He was not going to stick around.
- Anyway, be careful. Who can guarantee that everything was not a play?
- Matthew did not seem to be faking all that hatred.
 Suddenly, Blair did not pay more attention to what he said, but his gestures and the things around.
- How did you do this?
- This what? Blair, since when eating is something supernatural?
- I'm not talking about that.
- So what?
 A potato package came into the hands of Dustin, without that he needed to get up from the chair.
- That.
 He had not even noticed.
- Well, I have no idea. Simply I was hungry and wanted something to eat, so I thought the potatoes package and it came ... I think that is the effect of one of the two pills that Matthew had given me ...
 Dustin gave a long yawn and just lying on the table, feeling a sharp pain in the head.

 Matthew was in the elevator door waiting for him at six in the morning, before other employees begin to arrive. The company's door opened, but he saw no one go then.
- One of the pills have had an effect, right?
- It seems so.
- That's good, but it's not what I need to talk with you.
- It's about Rido, is not it?
- How do you know that?
- I heard a voice coming from y ourhead ... - Dustin turned his attention to Matthew - I think you're right.
 The boy smiled, knowing that Dustin said his thoughts. That was even better.
- Please follow me.
 They went to the same room where they found Rido.
- I know I should have said it before, but did not think you would get so far with the tests.
- This room has something more than Rido said, is not it?
- Yes. In reality, when everything is complete as it is now, you would have to stay in one of these isolated capsules for the rest of your life waiting to do all the wishes of Rido and thus clone your DNA so that he can "start from scratch" exterminating human and transforming those that might be useful.
- Matthew, what Rido is true?
- What you mean?
- You know very well. He does not sound quite human.
 Dustin tried to read the mind of Matthew, but was unsuccessful. His mind was completely empty.
- I do not know either. I thought I knew, but he did so many experiences to himself that I can not say what he actually is.
- I understand. But why are you intend telling me this?
- Seeing everything that is happening to you makes me think of Melissa and how much she suffered at his hands. I do not want that to happen to anyone and also he put into practice his plan, the two human accompanying you will be killed too. Moreover, if that happens I can no longer take care of Melissa and the only reason why I did all these tests with you was to get a DNA that was compatible with Melissa transformations so that I can make it at least to speak again and to act as it should for her age.
- In the end you really used me as a guinea pig to save your sister and now wants to use me as an instrument against Rido?
- You understand things very quickly. Your transformation is complete and the only thing missing is me give you this - Matthew showed a turquoise pill - With this pill you will have a profound amnesia and does not remember anything, believing faithfully in whatever Rido say. I could have given you it along with the others, but I remembered oury sister.
- What Chiara has to do with it?
- You know well that I have access to her school performance. So, I could see one of her compositions with the theme "family." She comes to you and that girl all the time, but the love she has mainly for you is something supernatural. It's like she took you as a kind of irreplaceable divinity and so she is afraid of losing you.
- I am very grateful for that, Matthew. I have a permanent debt to you.
- However we can settle this in a month, when Rido back to see his final strides and begin deploying all necessary lies in your brain. Just do everything I instruct and you will be free of us and we no longer have any debt. Moreover, the fact that I have used you as a guinea pig to heal Melissa it was the least I could do.
- You already healed?
- Not yet. Even got some sample of your blood for this yet.
- Take as deemed necessary. I'm sorry to say this, but we need more hybrids to overthrow Rido, right?
- Yes, sure.

{XII. Devilish Smile

 For some time he did not set foot in that place. Once he has become a large-scale entrepreneur, rarely had time to see the performance of his companies as he should. The only thing he had was the word of Matthew and nothing more.
- I did not think you would come so quickly.
- After what you told me, I could not wait to see a thing as rare and valuable as these.
- Fortunately nothing much happened so far. He still are good.
- That's nice. Your sister would be too if you had taken the front line as you did.
 Matthew hated the poisonous smile playing on his lips every time he mentioned Melissa. However, if he wanted to put the plan he had in mind in practice, should take it to the fullest.

 Dustin noticed that employees were more agitated than usual, but had no idea what was going on.
- What's wrong with everyone today?
 Matthew was leaving the elevator.
- The owner of all this is here today to see your progress.
- My progress?
- Yes. He was interested in the fact that the effects of the pills were reversed, because this was the first time.
 The boy swallowed, feeling suddenly the star of the circus of horrors.
- Come on, we have no time to lose.
 The elevator reached the top floor, a forbidden area when they were visiting the company, but decided not to ask anything. The door opened and both followed by a small hallway where Matthew showed a room with dim lighting and several empty capsules connected to a computer that was in the center. Dustin felt a shiver down the spines of him and felt the wing feathers to stand on end.
 His vision has adapted to low light and could see a person sitting on the computer leather chair: it was a slender man with the face like a fox. His hair was long and brown. He wore black clothes and a gleaming silver ring on the index finger of his right hand, clearly showing that he possessed full leadership over everything. Matthew said that this man possessed remarkable intelligence and understand each part of that company better than him, though it was not what he really looked like.
- Dustin Gates, our prodigy. - He got up, walking toward them - I admit that I am impressed by your genetic abilities. This is the first time during all those long years of improvement I see something l. It ike this. It was impossible that the effects of the pills were reversed on their own, however you were capable of such a thing.
- I have no idea what happened.
- However this was a big surprise for us. Not even Melissa, who was genetically endowed managed to do such a feat.
 Dustin thought he heard Matthew growl beside him, but was not sure. The company's owner sketch a smile and extended his hand.
- My name is Rido. Rido Stardust. Unfortunately I can not stay more than a few hours here, but I hope to receive your results and want to see you in this room when I return.
- Do you allows me to ask anything, sir?
- Of course.
- Why is this room prohibited?
- It is reserved only for people who have had complete success in all genetic testing. However, I have not found anyone. I hope you're the first. - Rido looked at Matthew, heading for the elevator - I trust you so that nothing goes wrong. I do not want another monstrous failure like that.
 The devilish grin was the last thing we both saw before the elevator doors closed.
- Damn you. You're nothing but a shameful and selfish bastard.
 It was as if Matthew forget for a moment the presence of Dustin there.
- I apologize. I'm starting to get tired of this man.
- Matthew, whydo not you start your own company? You have potential for that.
- And then I become a scumbag like him? No way. I'm just here by Melissa and no one else.
  Dustin knew that Matthew did not like questions related to him or to his sister, but wanted to understand what was going on.
- When Rido said about "another monstrous failure like that," he was referring ...
- Yeah. Melissa was very close to becoming what he wanted, but in the end she could not stand and turned into what she is today. In his view, she turned into a monster.
 Matthew seemed to think about something for a moment, but shook his head in negative. It was not yet the right time to say everything he needed for that kid, not right now.

{XI. No return

- Dustin!
 Chiara was the first to rush to welcome the boy back, but stopped on the middle of the way to see the big black wings folded behind him, but still drew attention.
- What happened?
- What's that on your back?
- This is part of the tests.
 He spread his wings and Chiara again approached with outstretched hands to be able to touch them. They were soft and warm, like a big blanket.
 They both heard a glass shattering on the floor. The girl hid in the wings brother when he saw Blair's speech.
- What have they done to you?
- Is not cool? - Chiara came out of hiding - Dustin can fly now, right?
- Yes it's true. - He smiled back at her.
- This is an absurd.
 Chiara was smart enough to know that things would not end well there.
- I'll leave you there. I have homework to do.
 Dustin held her and used the wings to put her upstairs and came back feeling Blair's icy gaze on him.
- Why are you never happy?
- Because I never agreed with it all. While they were modifying some physical abilities I might even agree, but now they were really too far.
- You know better than I that there is no return for this. In addition, there are other changes coming and that I have no idea what they are. At least we do not have to worry about a lack of money. Chiara is happy with the new home, with the new school, friends and all we can offer for her from now on.
 She fell silent. Yes, it was true that they had a normal life without any financial concern since when Dustin accepted their offer, but it was devaluing human capabilities. What did they want with these changes? She thought about Melissa and the deplorable situation in which it was submitted.
- I do not want anything bad to happen to you. I can not forget how Matthew left his sister to stay that way and I fear that the same will happen to you.
 Blair now understand why Chiara have grown fond to his wings. They were covered in a gentle way, as well as the way Dustin hugged her at the time.
- I understand that you are concerned and I am very grateful for it with all my heart. If it were not for you I do not know what would have been happened to Chiara or even to me. However, the only thing I ask is that you trust them anymore. Matthew knows what he does and he even helped me yesterday when these wings appeared.
- It's ok. But only give a chance for you.
 He smiled at her.
- I think Matthew regrets for what happened to Melissa.
- How?
- He cares too much about what might happen to me. I think that's because of what happened to her.
- Anyway I'll still worry about you.
- That's all I need.

{X. I feel like a monster

- Did you fell something else?- No. To tell the truth I did not feel anything at all.- Let's continue. This time hasten a little schedule, as the owner of the company wants to see results as soon as possible. In addition, you are showing strong and we must explore your limits.
 
Dustin agreed. After all, he signed a contract and agreed to work with it regardless of the circumstances. Matthew was preparing a mixture of liquids of different colors, and they were switched between low and high temperatures.- Take this.
 
Matthew gave him a glass of water and three capsules with different colors: blue, red and gray. Dustin taken it at the same instant.- One will have long-term results, however the rest will soon be manifested. So I ask you to be patient and please stay here for observation for twenty-four hours, as this will be the time frame for the first two pills arise. Unfortunately you can not go home tonight.
- Dustin, do you want us to be there?- I do not need it, Blair.- You do not know what they can do.- I trust Matthew.- I hope you're right there.- Do not you worry. I'll see you tomorrow.
 
Dustin hung up the phone, following Matthew to a different room from the others: one of the walls was the color of cream had all the furniture, as if it really was part of a house.- Please, feel free. I'll be in the next room if something happens.
 
The door closed and the boy remained alone, scouring everything I had in that room: clothes, shoes and blankets. On the desk there was a blank notebook and a pen, a lamp and a laptop with internet. At least he would have to do during the time that would be under observation.
 
As he finished dressing the shirt that was in the wardrobe, Dustin saw that there was blood on the floor whose trail coming from the bathroom and excruciating pain appeared on his back. Was it part of the process?
 
A knock on the door.- Dustin, can I enter?
 
The boy could not speak a single word the pain that dominated. Thus, the door was opened.- I need cottons, an anesthetic and a wet towel immediately!
 
It was the voice of Matthew.
 
An assistant came back quick as a flash with what was asked and then disappeared down the hall. Matthew lifted the sleeves of his shirt that was still dressed and went to work, trying to find the reason why Dustin was covered with blood. The towel that was stained in a short time, but it was enough.- This should not have happened now. What could have happened?
 
As he put the anesthetic in the back of the boy so that the pain disappeared, Matthew thought about how it could have happened so quickly. The deadline for the effect of that last pill was two weeks or more. Was he wrong about something? No, everything was perfect and the evidence was strong in this regard.- Are you feeling better?- Yes, thank you ... Matthew, this was part of the tests?- Yes, but it should not have happened now.
 
Dustin did not imagine that when it came to genetic modification they really thought that far. Although had seen it once, he never imagined he would so: they were the color of the night and they were there, and majestic in all its force. It was as if those wings were always in his body. In a few moments, Dustin felt like a lucky person, but he wondered what Blair would say."You became a monster."

{ IX. I don't know what I am Becoming

- Finally after so many tests, the company's owner accepted with great happiness the start of testing. Your biological capabilities go beyond the expected and will be really useful. We all assembled specifically testing schedule for you, however we would like to know if there is something you want to modify.
- No, only the changes of the tests are enough for me.
- Great. Please follow Nora, she will prepare you for the first test. I meet you there.

  Matthew never thought he'd wear that coat again. However, it was for that person that he was doing it and that was his only hope.
- Where is the sample?
- Here, sir.
- Bring to room where Dustin Gates is. And take a sample of his blood.
  The girl disappeared at once toward the bedroom as he tried to swallow the bitter taste of bile for thinking of deal with samples again.

- You look fine.
- Just a little blood will not hurt me.
  Dustin silently watched Matthew cautiously mix his blood with the contents of another vial was turquoise. After mixing, he put in a syringe.
- The changes may appear in a few moments in a peaceful manner. However, if you feel pain or something do not hesitate to call me at any time, do not worry.
  He looked at Matthew, intrigued by the fact that it all happened so quickly.
- Here is the combined - he put two thousand euros in the hands of Dustin - Hope to see you tomorrow.
- What will happen to me?
- There is nothing wrong. I think this will be really useful for you.

- You're back already?
- I also amazed me, though he said that was enough for today. Where is Chiara?
- It's in the bedroom. Just went back from school.
  Dustin went to the girl's room and saw her lying on the floor trying to achieve something that was under the dresser.
- What happened?
- I think something dropped here.
- I will help you.
  Chiara had completely forgotten what had fallen when she saw Dustin lift the dresser with ease.
- Why are you looking at me like that?
  He realized what Chiara was watching. Perhaps it was this change that Matthew was talking about. However, why have more physical strength would be essential for them? Well, what was left now was wait. He put the dresser back on the ground.
- Come on, Blair is waiting for us.
  The table and the food were ready when the two came down and Chiara said to Blair about the Dustin's strength.
- That's true?
  He raised the refrigerator with only one arm.
- Are you still sure about what you have chosen?
- Yes, I have nothing to complain about.
- You do not know what you are becoming.
- No, I do not know. But I'll have to find out.

{ VIII. Attention

- Sir.
- Matthew, I got your message.
- Impressive, is not it?
- I must admit so. I never imagined that this country would house a piece as valuable as him. Make sure that all procedures occur properly, it may be the first of many we have planned.
- I know what I'm doing, I should have full confidence in me.
- And I have. However, I am afraid of losing a chance as scarce as this.
- Do not worry, I will take care of all the changes personally so that nothing goes beyond planned.
- You rarely sets out to do that. What happened? Still feels guilty for what happened to Melissa?
- Shut up. We're not talking about her.
  Matthew growled when he heard the laughter of his "boss", but knew he could look angry, otherwise he could lose his sister.
- I'm counting on you, Matthew. Do not take your eyes off neither over him nor the family.
- You have my word.
  He hung up and sat on the bed. Sometimes he wanted to disappear, simply having peace and tranquility to take care of his sister. His gaze turned to a notebook that was on his desk.
- Do not worry, I'll take good care of him. I will not let anything happen to any cell of him. However, I will not do for you, but for someone else.

  She sat on the floor, staring at the door as usual. The others were sleeping and so she did not make any noise when she saw him entering the room.
- I said I would come, did not I?
  Melissa nodded, happy to see him and with a tray in hands. Matthew sat down next to her and put the tray on the floor. He handed her a cup of hot tea and opened the jar containing biscuits.
  As she finished eating, he took her hair brush and, like a very caring father, left her hair as it should be. What hurt him was remember that before he had ever done that for her, now that he had become a prisoner of his own guilt.
  She held out a cookie for him.
- I'm fine, my love. Do not worry about me.
  Melissa insisted, this time pointing to his belly and holding his little finger so that he realized how thin he was. Matthew smiled at her.
- You noticed?
  The girl agreed.
- I admit that I have no more time to feed me as I should, especially after that boy appeared.
"I do not want you to get sick," she wrote on a piece of paper.
  For him, it was a blow. Melissa knew that everything that happened to her was because Matthew gave her to the researchers to serve as a guinea pig. For more afraid she had that day, he did not to notice and now even suffering like that she still cared for him, she still loved him.
- I'm really sorry. I know nothing I say will change what happened to you, but I wanted you to know how much I regret for not having thought of you. If it was really for you serve as a test, so I even should have done it. At least you could still talk and live normally as before.
 The girl put her head on his shoulder, like she did not care what happened. She took that same piece of ground paper and started writing.
"I do not care why have happened. At least I can have my real brother to me every day.".
  His eyes watered for a second. She did not have to become another being to be loved by him. Even with all he had to do and busier than he was in those years, the only thought that surrounded his mind was to be with Melissa.
  She yawned and snuggled closer to him to sleep. Matthew held her in his arms and laid her on the bed, when he also laid at the first time. Melissa opened her eyes, hoping he would say goodbye as usual, but he did not.
- I'll stay here this time. If you let.
  The smile that was on her lips and in her eyes was more precious than any words she could say. He hugged her and feeling her breath so close to him, he slept as peacefully as he thought.

{ VII. The Begining of a New Life

- You have come early.
  Matthew was leaving the elevator, with a haggard expression he struggled to hide.
- We arrived in bad time?
- Do not bother with it. While you were on the way, I took the liberty to arrange the house of you and all that is within it. Please follow me.
  They got into the car and followed a few blocks from firm up to park in front of a bigger house than the one where they were living during those months. It was a really sophisticated townhouse and it certainly should not was cheap.
- You will be here. Different from what we usually do with the other, the owner of the company has enabled this house was a gift of welcome.
- What does that mean?
- It means that the house is yours even if Dustin decides to leave our company. No one can take it from you starting today. We are investing in the country of you so it does not lose its independence and my superiors were able to convince some other nations to help. Therefore, I believe that you will not need to worry about to move again. Also, I even took the liberty to enroll the child in a school that has strong relationships with our company. I can take care of her well-being throughout the school term of her. Also, the sooner she starts to attend the school it will be best for her.
- When should she go?
- Tomorrow, if possible.
  Matthew handed the keys to Dustin, who opened the door of the house with anxiousness. Chiara was the first to come in and see that the house was fully furnished: the living room, the kitchen, all rooms and other rooms. There were only the furniture, but the electronic equipment that were essential for them with technology that nobody in the country had access unless the own company.
- Dustin's function starts from today at the company. So you both have all day free. - He handed two cards to Blair and other key - You know how to drive, right? - She agreed - In the garage there is a car waiting for you. The wardrobes are empty and the cupboards and suggest you spend time making the necessary purchases.
  It would be easy for Blair wandering around the city, as the capital knew like the back of hand because of the frequent trips that her dad was there. Chiara said goodbye to Dustin and they went to the garage while Matthew took the boy back to the company.
- Do not you worry. They will only do all the specific tests in the early days to know what can and can not do to you in the course of the tests.
  When they returned to the main hall, there was a middle-aged woman dressed in a white coat waiting for them.
- You must be Dustin Gates.
- Yes.
- She is Nora, the responsible for the tests that you will do. She is our most capable professional, has been with us ever since our company began to grow. Feel free to fully trust her.
- I thought you...
  Matthew smiled.
- No. I am personal assistant of the owner of the corporation from the beginning and I am here only for supervisory absolutely everything as he solves the political and diplomatic issues of this country to continue with the research.
- But for this you should have enough knowledge of each area, right?
- Of course. As the owner of the company, I know all departments and all functions. My knowledge in all areas here can be compared with those of a marshal in a battlefield.
  Dustin swallowed and it did not go unnoticed by any of the other two.
- Matthew has more knowledge than we realize. He solves most of the problems that appear in the company and it is our most representative for international relations. Come on, we have many tests to do for today and we do not have any second shot.
  The boy had no time to ask something that was important to him: if Matthew had so much knowledge and skills, why he does not use the resources to heal Melissa? Does not he care about her condition?

- How will Dusin is?
- I hope he's all right.
  Chiara and Blair were finishing to save the last groceries they bought. For them, the day was really tiring, but were able to buy all that was necessary for everyone and just one afternoon.
- I hope Dustin likes the clothes.
- I'm sure he will - Blair smiled - are exactly made for him. Come, let's start preparing dinner for sure Dustin will get hungry.

- I am glad for your results, kid.
  Dustin looked surprised to see that Matthew knew the test results.
- Your tests were ordered by the owner of the company urgently for analysis, so I was instructed to finalize the results. Rest and prepare for other exams tomorrow. Try to arrive as early as you can to move forward to all examinations and finally start with the tests themselves. Unlike the tests, the exams will have a lower price, that's why I need to pay you a thousand euros for today.
- Thank you so much.
- We are even more grateful to be able to rely on a biological delicacy like you. Do you need any driver take you home?
- Do not worry, I prefer walking.

- Dustin!
  Blair appeared in the room when she heard the exclamation from Chiara.
- What did they inject into you? Are you hurt? Do you feel something strange? That Matthew has done something to you?
- Blair, contain yourself. - Dustin took her hands - They will only do exams to know about my health and functioning of my body to fter begin the changes.
  She sighed, relieved and amazed by the amount of money that Dustin showed to her.
- They really are not worried about money. Thousand euros only for a few hours of exams is a really high value.
- Matthew said the owner of the company wants my results as soon as possible.
- How can him know that? What is Matthew function in that company at all?
- He is personal assistant to the owner and is here to supervision until things in our country return to normal. One of the employees named Nora said that Matthew has more knowledge than they realize about all the company's departments, as well as being favorite representative for international relations.
- He is not an ordinary man. And he certainly is not in this position because they like the work.
- What you mean?
- Of course he's the kind of person who is up plans to take the place of the owner. One way or another, he is subjugated to someone and that's what a mind of someone so bright not want for itself.
- You are thinking beyond time. We must wait and see what happens.
- I do not want to see, but I have no choice.
- Meanwhile we have left is to enjoy our own lives.
- Yes, but I'm not happy with the fact that I will be alone in this house.
- You know the capital like the back of your hand, I'm sure you'll find something to do. Moreover, Chiara is back from school in the afternoon. It is the beginning of a new life, Blair, and we should enjoy it to the fullest.
