Blood Type: Unknown Page #6

---

the whole truth?

No.

I never got that far.

Do you plan to?

I'm not sure.

I don't know if I should.

That's something you should

probably think about.

I'm glad you let

someone else in, though.

Hi.

Do we still have time

for that movie?

Yeah.

Yeah, we do.

So.

Explain how it works.

What do you mean?

Well, you don't look

400 years old.

I'm glad you noticed that.

Did it just happen?

Kind of.

It was my 18th birthday.

Which means it was 1607.

That's correct.

Impressive.

It's the accountant in me.

I started feeling sick.

I had pain all over my body.

Nobody knew what

was wrong with me.

Next thing I knew,

people just started

aging around me.

It was like time stopped for me

and the world kept going.

It's taken me 400 years

to age five in appearance.

That must have been tough.

It was.

Do you know what happened?

As science developed

we discovered my blood

was different.

"Different"?

Aside from the positive

and negatives

there are four kinds of blood.

A, B, AB, and O.

And mine wasn't any of those.

It was an unknown blood type,

or as the scientists,

specialists, and doctors

like to call it, blood type U.

How can that be?

That is the question

I'm still trying

to get answered today.

So back at the med building

when I saw that man

give you that needle?

That was Dr. Hopkins,

one of the current specialists

trying to help find out

why my blood is the way it is.

He and his team

are the only people

that are still willing to help.

The needle was to give them

another sample.

So you're not a drug addict.

No.

Sorry for jumping

to that conclusion.

Hey, I would have assumed

the same thing

if I didn't know the truth.

Why aren't more people helping?

Other specialists retired.

Lost hope.

Or passed on.

Dr. Hopkins

and his team,

they're slowly getting results

so I decided it was wise

to stay close,

and then I began masquerading

as a college student.

What about family?

Did you have any?

My condition doesn't

allow me to have kids.

They say I'm not compatible

with the other blood types.

So the specialists tell me.

That's harsh.

I'm sorry.

I'm used to it.

Okay, so the healing.

How the heck is that possible?

I loved it when you

called me a mutant,

by the way.

You kind of are.

Is it your blood that does it?

Yeah, that's correct.

Do you mind me asking you

all these questions?

Not at all,

it's actually a relief

that I don't have to make up

some stupid story,

so ask away.

Okay.

This house.

What's the deal?

Well, come with me

and I'll show you.

Obviously it's been

refurbished many times.

You own this place?

Mhmm.

It's under Adam Godfrey II

who I say is my father

when I have people around.

When actually it's you.

How do you afford

a place like this?

Well, being able

to live a few centuries

you learn a couple things.

You must be rich.

My condition has its perks.

That's all I'll say.

Just don't go around

telling people, okay?

It's not that easy to make

a fake reputation.

No one would believe me anyway.

I guess you're right.

What's in that room?

How come there's a lock

on the door?

It's just stuff.

You know, I have to admit,

I'm kind of amazed you're not

freaking out over all this.

To be honest, I'm not

entirely sure how to feel.

What does your heart tell you?

That I don't need to be afraid.

Strangely it all seems

so familiar.

Really?

It's difficult to explain.

If only people in the 1800s

felt the same way you do.

Being chased by villagers

with pitchforks

is not a fun thing.

- Really?

- They're quite sharp.

Tell me more.

Well.

Times have changed.

But you should have

seen it back then.

Adam, are you all right?

What's wrong?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Go back to bed.

Is this a bad time,

Father Brian?

Caitlyn, not at all.

Just give me a sec.

It's good to see you.

I was wondering if we

could talk about

our mutual friend.

Keeping what we know

to ourselves.

Oh, I see.

How do you do it?

Well, to be honest,

it's not that hard.

You see, I've known Adam

my whole life

and as I aged, he...

You know.

Didn't you find that strange?

Of course I did.

But when I was old enough

to understand

my father told me one

of the family secrets

that was passed down to him.

He told you about Adam.

Yes, and that's when

it made some sense.

Explained a little bit,

but more questions

stirred in my head.

I know the feeling.

Being a servant of God

helps put some

of those questions at ease.

But others still go unanswered.

I'm worried, Father.

Oh?

I still have a hard time

dealing with the truth.

I have to constantly

remind myself that he's real.

Is knowing a burden for you?

No, but I don't think

he's told me everything.

Like what?

I've noticed over

the past few months

that he's becoming more pale.

I've noticed that, too.

When I ask him about it

he changes the subject

and he says he's fine.

He won't tell me what's wrong.

Do you know anything

about this?

It's not my place

to say anything, Caitlyn.

Perhaps if you told him

how you feel about him,

he'd be more willing

to talk about it.

Should I be worried for him?

Honestly, I don't know.

I say just be there for him

and he'll tell you

when the time is right.

It's good to see you.

I'm glad I have someone

to talk to about Adam.

I understand your feelings.

Thank you, Father Brian.

It's good to see you, too.

May God bless you both.

Amen.

Come on.

It makes sense that you

had other girlfriends,

I just wanna know if

there are any special ones.

There was one.

Gwyneth.

Who was she?

Back in the 17th century

she was the most loyal wife

a husband could have asked for.

You were married.

Was.

A long time ago.

She believed in me

when no one else would.

My only regret was that

I couldn't journey with her

as an equal.

What happened?

I was a servant

and she was the daughter

of an upper class family.

We fell in love

and her family didn't approve

of their daughter

living with a freak like me,

so we ran

and we never looked back.

Do you remember the subject

that was discussed?

Back in the classroom

when we first met?

Soul mates.

Well, she was mine.

So that's why

you said those things.

You lost your soul mate.

Two people destined

to be in love

with each other forever.

You said it wasn't possible.

You proved me wrong.

Adam.

What are you not telling me?

I'm worried about you.

What doesn't make sense to me

is how can you be sick

if you can heal?

I know.

I haven't told you everything.

I haven't told you

everything because...

Because I don't know how.

You're dying.

Aren't you?

- Forgive me.

- For what?

You look so much like Gwen.

And when I saw you

in the classroom I had to know.

Know what?

I had to know

if after all this time

you still had feelings for me.

I've missed you.

So much, Gwen.

Gwen?

Adam, my name is Caitlyn.

Adam?

Adam!

Adam, are you okay?

Help!

Adam.

Help!

Oh, my God.

He hasn't moved.

I don't understand.
