The boy was interested in knowing if anyone who has lost a leg could regrow their limbs. I sat down next to him, "When I seemed healthy enough my uncle sent me to boarding school. One of the girls in my dorm was a girl who was in a far more dangerous accident than you were in. Her father was a scientist who gave her a metal arm and legs. He even replaced her one of eye and ear as well. She saw what I am capable of and took an interest in what I was so she asked her father to acquire a piece of werewolf or vampire to make her whole. She finally had it injected into her body she had assumed human looking robo parts will pop out as she changed into a werewolf. To her dismay none of her amputation regrew. I don't remember what happened to her other than the fact that she was killed by the army. A friend of hers named Adrian tried to keep her safe but her arrogance got her in the end." This was a shock even to the nocturnals. The soldiers were paying attention to our conversation. I didn't think it was that big a deal but I soon realized moments later that it was a big deal to certain people. There was a young woman in a wheelchair who was staring at me disdain.
The kid was curious, "When you said her dad replaced her eye and ear?" I retorted, "It looked normal but she said she had xray vision and a few other things. I never got to compared notes with her since she was too busy trying to stab me repeatedly. She was kicked out of school as she was caught red-handed assaulting me. Her father wanted the military to strip me to pieces so she can be made whole again. She behaved like my half brother. He was a jerk. For the longest time I had assumed that people in the army were like him" He was sad as he asked me why I hated the military so much. I explained about my mom's abusive first marriage to a soldier and how it ended. Also I explained how she was killed. He asked me about Shaw. I grit my teeth, "The jackass always talked about his kills. How bloody it was and how amazing it felt that he had managed to do it. I thought he was talking about a videogame that specialized for people that like to pretend that they are in a war zone. That was till I saw him in the news. After that I used to call him a legalized mercenary to his face." One of the werewolves made it clear that I had every right hate Shaw since he was not what the military stood for. My mom and I was shown the cesspit end of the army. If he felt alive by killing people like it was nothing more than a videogame then he should have been court martialed.
The kid continued his queries, "If a vampire and werewolf was mixed what would you get?" I froze for a moment and chuckled, "You will get me" He stared at me, "I thought that was impossible" I smiled, "I know it sounds weird but it is true. I am both. I am hybrid." He shook his head so I asked the people here not to reach for their guns. I howled and one the werewolves changed. I growled and the vampires grew their fangs and their eyes turned frosty blue with a few hints of silver. I smiled, "Since you have something to compare to. I will prove my point" I changed into the full monster me. And he was shocked. I changed back to myself and he didn't know what to say. I clapped my hand and the others changed back to themselves. The kid wanted to know how I was able to do that. I winked, "I am sorry kid but that is classified" He started to pout but I just laughed it off. He kept pestering me but I just ruffled his head and walked away. Jasper was watching me with amazement.
I sat to watch the drone footage to see where the monsters was going. I realized that the monsters were following a specific direction. They would stop and then start walking. I used my senses to understand why they were stopping. They move when they hear a sound. They stop when the sound stops. The answer hit me like a freight train when I tracked the sound to it's original point. It was a machine that was not very far from me. I asked them to place the image on the main screen. I explained my theory and they watched from the main screen the proof of what I was saying. When they realized that their radar was now a homing beacon for these beasties they had no choice but to shut it down. They saw first hand how this blinded the enemy. They called it in and it was effectively shut down. There were those who had protested but when they saw the truth so for their own safety they switched it off. The general thanked me. I made it clear that he will be thankful now but soon he will be amongst those who will hunt me. He made it clear that if it comes to it he will lead the other pursuers on a merry chase. We shall see about that.
I sat down and the kid wanted to know more about me. He asked if it was amazing when I first changed. For some reason I blurted out that it was extremely painful. Then I had a flashback of the moment. I didn't tell him anything after that. He kept pushing but I asked him nicely to give a rest. His dad took him away and the general asked me how painful was my transformation. The only I said was that it felt like every bone in my body was shattered and was being reconstructed. The entire time I felt like someone took a sledgehammer to smash me to bits. Then when I reforming I felt like a zig saw puzzle. The most painful was when my face tried to turn full wolf but changed its mind. The last moment when my face shoved itself back in I felt a battering ram was slammed into my face. This made him wince as he recalled the days he was severely tortured. He compared my description of pain with his. He decided that my experience was far worse than what he had felt so he accepted that had it been him he would have lost his mind.
The next week was spent trying to find ways to dupe those things into a trap. The intelligent ones always change their minds at the last moment while the aggressive ones happily walk to their deaths. The Strigoi was a fifty-fifty chance. They would either walk into the trap or walk away. They infuriated the resistance army. I tried to help but a device that nullified my screams. I looked around to see where the device was and Igor pointed it where it was. Before I did anything the army smashed the machine to smithereens. I waited for a second before I screamed till the Strigois were dead. A woman scientist started yell profanities. She wanted to neutralize me so that I can captured for experimentation. But she was told that her request is denied since I was an asset. She wanted to make me so useless that the government would allow her to experiment on me. I showed her my vial of poison and she was lost for words. She swore that she will find a way around it. She was taken away by the authorities as I sat down to catch my breath. I wanted to be use my gift even when the infernal machine is in use and out of nowhere I heard a voice. It was muffled at first so I tried to focus on it. Soon the voice became loud and clear. I saw a handsome young man explaining to me that it is possible for someone to counter my scream so find a different way to cause the seizures. I remembered the days I spent learning to appease Marcus's concern.
There was an explosion and everyone had to run. In the process I heard Jasper cry out in pain. I tried to extend my senses but I was dragged to my Roland. I was in the car when I realized that Jasper was kidnapped and I started to scream at the driver to turn the car to help rescue Jasper. The driver was a human by the name Cordell. He turned the SVU around as he called it in. The others did the same. I saw that Jasper was taken to a building where they had guns loaded with silver. He remained very still as they explained how they were going to hold him hostage in exchange for me. The Indian scientist was certain that I would show up. The best indicator of my arrival would be when the zombies disappear. He had another surprise coming since I can retract my shield. So that is what I did much to the protest of those in the surrounding vehicles. They demanded an explanation but I gave them none. Hold on Jasper I am coming.
