Cherreads

Chapter 52 - Chapter 26

We decided to test it out and found the aggressive ones by the train we had abandoned. They won't come if they saw me so one the young ones volunteered. He ran as fast as he could but he fell so I picked him and flew him away. The aggressive ones froze for a moment and they resume the chase when they saw another teenager scream at them. I got her out at the last moment as one of the werewolves flipped the switch to blast the building. Only one threat in the area was eliminated. Next will not be easy.

Now came time to be rid of the intelligent ones. They were called that because compared to the other zombies they had some common sense and retained a portion of intelligence. We had to use thermal imaging to track them. We kept a safe distance as we took them down with guns. Only expert marksmen were used to take them down. We didn't approach them till we were sure they were dead. By dead I mean by blowing them up for good measure as they like to play dead. They know we will be curious enough to come within arm's length. Then they get to jump on us and eat us. When we were certain we can take them down we started going from state to state taking them down. We met one of the soldiers we had evicted. He briefed us on the situation and called for back up. We saw the zombies and ran but some of the guys stepped on a few land mine so I had to use my gifts to chase those things away. The soldier called for help and a few helicopters arrived to get us out here.

We were airlifted to Washington DC. We were taken to The White House where I saw using X-ray vision that the monsters that I had presumably died were very much alive and were attacking the soldiers. The screechers were back and so the alligators. The aggressive ones were here too. But not the other ones. I climbed up the wall and let out a heart stopping scream and these fearless beasts ran like they had seen a monster. I asked the soldier nearby to use the flamethrower to burn them. He called it in and they were roasted in no time. One of the council member smiled, "Apex predator as per your mother's wishes" I gave him a nod before I walked to the court yard. The humans were divided into three categories. The mercenary, the helping hand and the lazy bum.

I was asked very nicely if I wanted to join the army. My answer was simply no. I walked around as they explained the reason behind my no. I didn't bother to watch as they tried to reason with the soldiers. No matter what the answer was always no. I wasn't label a lazy bum. Since I volunteered to help as a medic. I was sent to triage where I got to helped the doctors that were patching up patients. Some of them turned into zombies and tried to eat everyone but I quickly shot them in the head. The doctors thanked me as they burned the corpses.

A colonel came to appeal to my better half. I made it clear. That once we change the feelings we had and the pain we felt won't change. So it won't matter how many times he asks because the answer I give him is no. He looked at me and asked him if I saw my mother getting killed. I answered that she was five feet away from me when my brother a fellow soldier in the army shot her in the head. So I associate the people of the uniform with her death. He asked me why I didn't save her and the twins replied that I was shielding them from the soldiers. They said to kill every man, woman and child just so they can use the prison as a base. He looked insulted as he changed tactics, "Are you sure the woman your brother killed was your mother?" I smiled, "I know what you are trying to do so let me be clear so you will stop your stupid inquiries. I became this nine months before she was killed. I learned to track my mother using her heart beat both resting heart rate and exellerated heart rate. I can track her with the way she smell. She is an only child. I know this because I used visit my grandparents when they were alive. For the record even identical twins smell differently and they have different resting heart rates. So yes I know it was my mother. She was standing five feet in front of me when she was killed. You need to know that you can't confuse a vampire. I made up my mind. No means no. Run along" He knew he was beaten so he lowered his head as he got up and left the tent.

I heard a gunfire and saw that one of soldiers had turned into a zombie. He had bitten someone else and they had shoot him too. I went back to work. One of the zombies tried to run. He reached where were and ripped the tent. In retaliation a soldier tried to shoot the zombie but shot the doctor by accident. I dipped my finger in the doctor's wound and learned how to patch him up. That took me a few seconds to learn. The rest was easy. I patched the doctor and started to work on the others. A zombie came running and I roared loudly. It turned around and ran in fear. I ignored the words exchanged by the people near me.

The Colonel tried to rope me by saying that I shot the doctor but security footage proved I was innocent. He wanted to argue but I had proven to be a good medic so the doctors defended me. The others convinced him to hand over his gun in case he has the idea to start shooting. He hand it over and kept ranting about how everything that he needs to fix things is always off limits.

He was asked to remain seated as the wounded were being brought in. I helped the doctors and took a break. One of the doctors gave me a blood bag to consume. I took it and climbed up a wall to drink it. When I finished viewing the memories I came down and the doctor asked me what secrets did I learn. I said that the donor was a con artist. He had played many roles and now he is trying to make amends because he is in love. The woman he met had changed his perception on reality. He wants very much to be a good person. Honesty is now his policy. I looked up to see that it was the woman in question. I smiled, "His real name is Frank. He is struggling to be a man fit to be your husband" This shocked her. She gave me a nod and walked away. One of the humanized ones stared at me for a moment and walked off to think about his life choices. I on the other hand went back to work.

When the zombies near the wall were destroyed the soldiers approached me want to know if they can be changed into hybrids like me. The others explained how I had made sure that it would be impossible. They accepted that I was off limits but also appreciated the help. They wanted to say something else but the Colonel decided to shoot people near him in a fit of rage. How he managed to get his hands on a gun was beyond me. I screamed and he fell on the floor and started to have seizures. I quickly ran to help the wounded. I quickly patched those that were alive. I turned to see that one person was badly wounded. We were out of anesthesia so I extended my fangs and sank my fangs into his arm. I released venom and he went from screaming to laughing. I carried him back to the shredded tent and patched him up. When I was done the soldiers and doctors wanted to know what I had done to make him laugh when he was in pain. I was explained that since I am sterile my bite makes people feel good. If I were to bite more than thrice he will be become a junkie. This made them stare at me funny. I promised them that in ten minutes he will start screaming again. True to my words he started to shout and writhe in pain. So they had no choice but to punch him so he would stop shouting.
