Perfect Weapon

Andy woke up the next morning, realizing that he was on the couch. He sighed as he remembered what happened last night. Not wanting to do anything but sit there, he heard some rustling from the bunk room. He sighed as the door opened to reveal a shirtless Ashley coming out of the room.

"Hey man, how are you this morning?" Ashley asked.
"Not to well."
"Why's that? Anything happen last night?"
"Yeah...a dream within a dream..."
Ashley looked at him confused. "When did that start?"
"Just last night...after you threw water on me to wake me."
"What happened in the dream?"
"It was a continuation. In the first dream, I had managed to get the second scientist's name...Kali, I think it was. But that had faded to me being in a hospital bed after what happened in my dream when you woke me."
"What happened while you were there?"
"Well I had to write down everything I said, since I lost my voice from screaming in pain; which I didn't know had happened...at least my dream self didn't know. You guys had asked me similar questions to what you had asked me last night, before we all went back to bed." Andy said. "How's Jinxx doing?" He added.
"He--" Ashley then trailed off. "I actually haven't went to check on him...but we're on our way back to St. Jessica's General Hospital to see Jane Pattinson, since we had canceled our tour...and to get Jinxx the proper medical treatment he needs."
Andy sighed heavily then bit his lower lip, trying to hold back tears. "I can't believe I did that to him..." He said as he trailed off with a shaky voice.
"Hey, you weren't--"
"I don't care!" Andy yelled as he interrupted Ashley. "I still injured him to the brink of death...I did it...I have his blood on my hands. Whether I was or wasn't aware isn't the issue, it's the fact that I had done it. Makes it terribly unforgivable." Andy said furiously. "He'll probably forgive me later on, but I will never ever forgive myself for hurting him like that."He added. "What if he doesn't make it through this? It'll be my fault, mama and papa Jinxx won't forgive me for killing their son."
"Andy...calm down. It's only been one and a half nights, since you injured him. He was still breathing yesterday."
"But we haven't seen him all day yesterday."
"That's because he was resting...CC and Jake had helped him when he was awake."
Andy nodded. "How much longer until we're at the hospital?"
"Well we were at a rest stop in New Mexico when you attacked him...and we turned around today so we should get there in a couple of hours, probably by dinner time at the latest. "
Andy nodded. "You, Jake and CC should take his lead and stay away from me. Just in case my demonic side decides to injure or kill one of you next."
"Andy...that is not going to happen."
"And how do you know that? The last time one of us mentioned that, Jinxx almost got killed."
Ashley sighed. "You got a point there...but we aren't going to stay away...as long as we're in this bus. It's a small living space, but we'll do our best."
Andy nodded as he got up from the couch and went to the back room. He knocked on the door, then entered when he heard no answer. He went up to the bed carefully and kept his distance as he saw Jinxx sleeping restlessly as he moved positions. Andy saw that Jinxx had difficulty doing even this as he settled back into the position he tried to get out of. He knew it'll be a long while, until Jinxx had forgiven him for this. But he had to see the damage for himself. All he was able to see were the shallow injuries he had given Jinxx. His face drained of color a little when he saw a bruise in the form of his hand on Jinxx's neck. He then had noticed that Jinxx was shirtless, probably due to the fact that his shirt had irritated the injury that was heavily bandaged with medical wrap and medical tape to keep it from removing the gauze that was somewhat visible through the medical wrap. He sighed then headed towards the door.
Jinxx woke up, tired like he had yesterday as he spotted Andy making his leave. "Andy...?" Jinxxed asked quietly.
Andy stopped at the door and turned around. "I'm sorry I did this to you." He said quietly.
Jinxx laughed a little then stopped short as pain crept up on him. "You were talking when you attacking me. You're voice sounded like it had when you had tackled CC to the ground at the hospital a few days prior to this."
Andy walked over to Jinxx, but stopped halfway to the bed. "Jinxx...I have no memory of what happened that night." Andy stated. "Knowing I had done this to you is killing me inside."
Jinxx smiled a little. "Andy...whatever it is that's going on in these dreams you're having; this..."Jinxx stopped talking so he could try and get into a better position. "This is just the beginning stages of it...as I was telling you a moment a go, you were talking in demonic voice."
Andy looked at him with curiosity. "What did I say?"
"You greeted me to the facility." Jinxx laughed slightly. " I said that I was there to get you out...and you backed away from me, like you were fighting mentally. Like you were wanting to get through whomever it was that was controlling you...so you could warn me of some immanent danger that was going to take place." He paused to take a breath. "But you lost the fight and asked how you could help...I tried persuading them on returning you back to normal. They only told me that they couldn't because the experiment wasn't finished." He paused again for a breath. "When I asked what it was, you just smiled dangerously as you picked up the knife." He took a third pause for a breath. "I can't remember much after that, except that I was beyond frightened that you were going to kill me. When you plunged that knife in my side, I thought I was a goner for sure." He trailed off and looked at Andy. "I knew you weren't yourself, because of what was said...but I forgive you." He said with a small smile. "I probably would feel the same way as you do, if I was in your position at the time of my almost death...and I'm glad that you didn't kill me."
Andy smiled a small laugh. "I was beating myself up over it the morning after that happened."
"I know, Ashley told me. CC, Jake and him all said that you had broken down throughout the day crying and repeating the same thing over and over again."
Andy nodded. "Yeah."
"Andy..." Jinxx trailed off as he lost his train of thought.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"Your welcome?"
Jinxx laughed quietly. "You made me feel like I was in a horror by macshop">MOVIE that night...and I don't want to experience that again."
There was silence in the room.
"Do you remember what was going on in your dream you had that night?" Jinxx asked after a while.
"I killed someone...another person like me." Andy answered. "Dr. Potemkin and the other scientist greeted him and brought him in the arena room that I was in. He tried to persuade me that fighting him wasn't going to end well for me before the fight started. When I finished the fight he told me that I live without direction with his dying breath."
Jinxx looked curiously at him. "What do you think he meant by that?"
"I have no idea, but I think he was trying to tell me that Dr. Potemkin and the others can't control like they want."
"Meaning what?"
"No idea. Though I have a feeling that I'll find out sooner or later."
"Hopefully soon, so we could put all of this behind us."
Andy nodded. "Yeah, I would love that too."
"Oh, how close are we to California?"
"We've cancelled our tour so you can heal...and we're on our way back to St. Jessica's General Hospital, so we could see Jane and get you in for medical treatment." Andy answered. "We should be there any time now."
"Okay."
"Get some rest, you need it."
Jinxx smiled slightly. "You need to forgive yourself, Andy. It's the only way you'll be able to live with yourself."
Andy nodded. "I'll work on it. I'm just glad that I didn't kill you."
"Me too."
Andy smiled slightly then went back to the door. "Would you like me to get you anything for when you wake next? Like food or something to drink?"
"No, I should be alright with that until we get to the hospital. Thank you though."
