This choice: Your little sister, Tabitha. • Go Back...Chapter #4Your little sister, Tabitha. by: Unknown "...Your sister. She's dead."
Almost immediately, you burst into tears. No longer able to control yourself as the doctors let you grieve. Picturing the last time you'd seen her, sitting right next to you. Telling this princess story which David then make joke at it which startle her and the two kids had a debate and made the family laugh. Second to David for being pesky to you, but it was fun and amusing. One of her best prank was baiting you out of the house in the first day of snow with your controller. Wearing only sweaters and pants to the front door, you were greeted by a hit of cold snowball to the face. She was fully encased in her snow-jacket plus that fanny pack full of snowballs, "Ooof, Tabitha one, Tim zero!" she said, giggling along, wanted to play with you. You giggled back, "Alright Tabs, lets go." Full of life, like mom with a warm personality and but more pesky, another prank in the middle of your gaming session and you will explode and chase her across the house. You wished for a free-of-Tabitha and/or David on your weekends, when you could straight up that debate of whose better between you, Randall, Chris and Sean in a video game. Now you wish was granted, but it last forever. Pesky as it was, she's fun to have around. Those high-pitched voice of hers, that infectious cute giggle and load of ridicule fictional stories buried any dull moments with some laughs.
This wasn't the end of the story however. The two doctors clearly having more to say. Giving you a few minutes to get most of your crying out of your system, before hitting you with some almost as equally horrifying news...
"There's more, I'm afraid. You see, although we were unable to save your sister's life. Being pretty much brain dead already when she arrived. The rest of her body was perfectly fine. And, well... We had another patient, who'd also just been brought in, who's time was running out..."
"What... What do you mean?" you sniffled. Not sure where Kerry was going with this. Surely they hadn't done something to your sister's body... Had they?
"They were beyond surgery. Conventional surgery at least. But myself and Dr. Saunders had been researching in the field of brain transplantation for nearly twenty years now. We knew that there was a chance, a slim chance, that using an experimental procedure that I myself devised, we could at least save one of the lives, using your sister as a donor."
Oh my God... They did! They used her body to experiment on!
"We of course got your parents's permission first, and although this is still a terrible tragedy and we are both deeply saddened by your loss, the transplant was indeed a success and with your sister's help, we managed to save a life."
For a moment you felt like you were going to throw up. Not quite believing what you were hearing. Someone else was now inhabiting your sister's body? It was insane! Like something out of a bad science fiction movie. It couldn't possibly be true.
Neither of the doctors looked like they were joking however, and even if they were, it would be a pretty sick joke to pull.
"Who...?" you croaked. Desperately wanting to find out who's brain exactly now resided within your sister's form. "Who is it?"
Dr. Kerry telling you then that it was...
