"She didn't even sweat after exercising for three days straight. She was on the punching bag for a full day nonstop. No bathroom breaks, no feeding. She did nothing but fight. She just kept going. And do you know why she stopped exercising. She was bored. Her abilities are wasted on her. Imagine having her abilities. We would be unbeatable." One of the Red Guards said, "It's a waste because you are the one wieldling it. Maybe that's why we don't have that abilities. You shouldn't have call her an abomination then maybe she might have helped us like she helps them."
Bucky said, "I expressed my opinion and she rebuked me. She chose to be one of them as a means of a cure but she thinks that she is so high up that she can't help us. She could turn the other cheek and help us." The woman asked, "If I was a stranger and I insulted you and asked for your help would you help me?" Bucky responded, "No" the woman smiled, "So you are no different" he tried to rebuke her, "That's not what I meant. Stop twisting my words woman" She scratched her head, "Ok let's try it slowly. She is a nocturnal and you are human. Am I right?" He nod his head and she continues, "You are upset because she has these abilities and you don't." He nod his head and she said, "Had you been her you would have given the same response so how are you are different?"
He wanted to say something but the person on his right shut him up. He growled, "I missed the days when all women did was cook and clean and knew when to shut up" the woman said, "I missed the days when men would go to war and died there" the two gave each other the look of death and walked in a different direction.
The physician arrived to dictate their diet and exercise regimen. The last one to go in was the Buzz cut (Bucky). He asked what hoops he must jump to be a nocturnal. The nurse showed him the conversation he had with me and he asked the significance. The woman said that after this video everyone agreed to blacklist him. He jumped off his seat and was told to sit down or be shot so he sat like a kid whose candy was ripped from his hands. He waited till he was done to fume and the nurse shook her head, "The princess was right. Selective deafness. The answer will always be no and if they feel like you won't listen then they will evict you so you get the point. What you have done so far won't be worth anything. So shut up."
He turned to see his entire teammates at the door. One of them said, "I would blacklist you for saying such things. You don't insult people to get on their team or their help. You earn their respect." Buzz cut ordered him to shut up. The physical training began and they practice quietly while he whined the entire time. Winter arrived so everyone except werewolves put on their winter gear. Werewolves just stayed in wolf form. I walked out into the courtyard in my pyjamas and shivered. I made a face before I changed to hybrid form.
Betty grinned, "New look? It suits you." I placed my hand on her head, "This is what I look like when I change" I made sure she heard my thoughts. She jumped back and the nearest vampire asked if I let her know what I was thinking. She grinned, " Yeah" the vampire said, "All werewolves are connected so their thoughts are an open secret. We call it mind comms." Betty grinned, "Mind comms. Wow."
The werewolves and vampires stood side by side and I was so happy. The Red Guards watched the entire time. They went back to work and what's his name was going to start shooting off his mouth so the other told him that he is demoted. He was a junior again. The man angrily watched what he calls his birthright with intense hate. I walked by him and he just turned around and did his exercises. Then came th shift change and I sat on the top most place and scanned the surrounding area.
Declan came with a serum that would make Betty normal again. She was asked to be a nocturnal since her knowledge and skills could be useful. She was injected with the stuff and she changed back to human form. They waited three days and asked her and she said, "Werewolf" Orion bit her and she changed a few days later. Buzz cut was livid when he heard that someone was changed under his nose. He demanded to know why he will not be changed since he is a good soldier. He was abusive and didn't get along with others so that is a minus for him. He walked away fusing. I think I saw smoke coming out of his ears. All of the nocturnals started to laugh. Betty couldn't keep a straight face either.
I kept my eyes closed as I extended my senses. I used echolocation and made sure I was linked to every nocturnal in excalibur. This meant that they can see what I see. I showed them the zombies trying to dig their way through the soft earth not far from here. I showed them the thermal images of people walking around through the rock wall. I made sure they heard the conversations going on in the entire fort. The winter months went quietly with fewer zombies. They got a sense of my shield as well. Which earned a few cheers from the wolves. I detached from them when I screamed at the zombies.
After winter was over and spring began Buzz cut tried his luck again. He was told that these guys have a long memory so when they say no their answer won't change. There are special rules for blacklisters. He stomped his ground and I shook my head as I changed back to my child like looks. Betty was amazed, "This never gets old" I agreed, "This guy is going to keep at it till death. So yes it never gets old" Betty grinned, "I meant you. The fact that you are a fifteen years old kid and still badass is amazing." I blushed and walked off to take a shower. Betty tried to land a punch but like I said she was too slow. She hit thin air and Oleg just fell to the floor, "Your guerrilla style attacks won't work because as fast as you are. You are much slower than her. She moves at the speed of light while you move at the speed of a cheetah."
I took a shower and changed my clothes when I heard someone trying to pick the lock. It was Buzz cut trying to break in. I guess he had enough. I let the others know what was going on and they came in their thousands. He must have heard the footsteps since he resorted to kicking the door. The door is made of re-enforced steel. He broke his leg. When they arrived he said that he was trying to get inside his room and he lost the key. They showed proof that this is my room so he has taken a wrong turn. So he confessed, "Had I been what she is. This would be my room so I wanted to see what it was like inside." Aaron said, "God grant me patience. She swallows a poison called nightshade soher blood won't be used as a weapon. She had been doing that for half a millennia." He demanded proof so they showed him.
A very pissed Buzz cut started to swear. A disgusted Igor tased him and took him away. He was sent to the detention center for deportation. He had no next of kin so his team was informed. He asked them to get inside and they said that they will not be joining him. He has been a liability for a while now. They said their goodbyes and walked away. He was yelling that he earned the right to be a nocturnal. He has bled for his country and he had faced so much that others can't imagine so he is going to be one of us one way or the other.
