I woke up to the sound of whispers. Whispers that seemed to come from all around me. Whispers that seemed to be coming from within my own mind.
I looked around, trying to get my bearings. I was back in the institution, but something was different. The walls seemed to be pulsing with a strange energy, and the air was thick with an otherworldly presence.
Dr. Lee stood over me, a look of concern on her face. "Subject 13, you're experiencing some...unusual side effects," she said. "We need to run some tests."
I shook my head, trying to clear the cobwebs. "What's happening to me?" I asked.
Dr. Lee's expression was sympathetic. "You're experiencing an awakening, subject 13. An awakening of the entity that's been dormant within you."
I felt a surge of fear. "What entity?" I asked.
"The entity that you've been hosting," Dr. Lee replied. "It's an ancient being, one that has been awakened by the experiment."
I shook my head, trying to process the information. "I don't understand," I said. "What do you mean by 'hosting'?"
Dr. Lee's expression was grave. "You're not human, subject 13. You're a vessel. A vessel for an ancient entity that has been awakened by the experiment."
I felt a sense of horror wash over me. "What do you mean?" I asked again.
Dr. Lee's voice was barely above a whisper. "You're a host, subject 13. A host for an entity that will change the course of human history."
As she spoke, the room began to distort and blur. I felt myself being pulled into the abyss, into a world of madness and terror.
And then, I saw it. The entity. It was ancient, older than humanity itself. It was a being of pure energy, a being that fed on fear and suffering.
The entity spoke to me, its voice like a chorus of screams. "You are mine," it said. "You are my vessel. And together, we will bring about a new era of terror."
I knew I had to fight. I had to resist the entity's influence and find a way out of the institution.
But as I looked around, I realized that I was trapped. Trapped in a world of simulations and lies. Trapped in a body that wasn't mine.
And then, the entity spoke again. "Resistance is futile," it said. "You will soon become one with me. And together, we will bring about a new era of darkness."
The darkness closed in, and everything went black.
