Chapter 10 - I under estimated the need for Blood

Claiming my first two kills with relative ease the strigoi's had deemed that i was the most dangerous person here and started to swarm me but before they could Sky along with Liza shot forward, slashing and shooting them.

With them leaving carnage in their wake while the other's also take action forming an circle around me.

Casey: "Didn't we just literally tell you to be careful and to stay with in rang for us to be able to protect you if the need arises."

Letting an smile show "didn't you guys just manage to help me and after all do you really think the strigoi's are going to allow us to do as we want after that little display of power?"

Pointing my katana at the incoming wave that was coming at us being that the strigoi's have determined that they must erase any threats to their lives. "As my first command to my knights of Cleo i want you to keep our loses to a minimal, but also make sure you keep a tight handle on the situation as your not allowed to limit test."

With them hearing my command i saw the looks in their eyes that they understood the hidden meaning of what i said before "under -stood our primordial."

Skylar: "We vowed to follow all of you order's but don't think we don't now you attracted all of their attention on us for a distraction, what ever the reason is you better come back un- harmed."

Widening my eyes in shock that she caught on to what i was doing, i felt a hand placed on my shoulder having me look at them to see it was Casi.

Casey: "Just because we can't sense what you can doesn't mean we don't know you, as you value protecting us. Also with us having these new abilities you wouldn't want to go an draw unnecessary attention to us, so what ever it is must be an threat that requires you to handle this alone...meaning you will need to..." dropping my voice so the soldiers can't hear me "that it's strong enough for you to need to enter the second state."

Glancing over to see that the other's had the same feeling, with them showing worry, fear, and unwillingness in their expressions but also understanding. Bitting my lower lip before nodding."

Casey: Sighing while taking an step back "with us being your knights we will obey you command but as you big sister" looking at her with worry showing in my eye's "please... take care of yourself and make sure you meet us at the hospital you understand."

Seeing the tenderness, worry, fear, concern, but also firmness in her eye's i smile to here before nodding causing her to let go of my shoulder saying "then that's good enough for us."

With the wave of strigoi's closing in we had to end our conversation, with then reaching us chaos broke loose letting me slip away to let me head off in to the direction of where the strong presence is. With me changing in to my first state.

Running down the street i jump up on to the roof of the nearest building before running off an jumping from roof to roof, before landing on the roof of where the prescences was.

Seeing the homunculus with it's back to me it turned around having me see it purple eyes 'so this must be what an semi-sentient strigoi is like, mhmm...i thought i would need to go into my second state but it not something that i can take leisurely in my first state.'

Getting ready to get in to my fighting stance it shrieks just like the other two strigoi's had did back with the other's before, i heard an shriek back in return as an another semi-sentient strigoi jumps on to the roof. Feeling sweat starting to form 'ok...so i wasn't sensing just one but two of them as this is something that i can still handle even if i don't go in to my second state. But i don't have full mastery of my new abilities.

We'll if there's any idea time to do so now would be the best time, pointing my katana's at them "let begin as i have people waiting on me and i don't want them to have to wait."

With an shriek we had charged at each other and i thrust my katana's at the both of them causing them to jump in different directions to dodge letting them encircle me.

Pointing each of my katana's at them they charge at me raising their arm to attack me only for me to be blocking their attack, but they're strength causes me to crack the part of the roof we're standing on. Turning slightly i kick one in it stomach sending it flying to the roof entrance as it crashed through the metal door causing the door to break, falling on top of it. Freeing my other katana that was once blocking the attack from the other strigoi was now, able to strike the other strigoi having us engage in an one v one with it dodging my strike by leaning backwards.

We start to exchange strikes at an speed that normal humans can't fathom.

Going for an thrust to it chest i had felt an pain on my stomach causing me to wrench my eye before i felt a sharp pain on my chest over my heart, causing me to "AHH!" before falling on my knees clenching my chest.

'Is...is...something happening to the other's, how are they getting injured so heavily by just regular strigoi's.' Sensing the strigoi in front of me trying to attack me, i block it's attack with one of my katana's before thrusting the other throught it neck. While i stand as i slash through its head.

Staggering do to the wounds 'i-i must get back to the other's' trying to walk i feel like my so one has made an hole in my abdominal area causing me too again yell out in pain. Before falling on to my knees looking down i saw a hole in my stomach that was trying to heal, clenching my stomach when an shriek can be heard from the door way to the roof.

Standing back up 'i-i don't have time for this as i must get to the other's.' Ignoring the strigoi, i jump off the roof on to the another one running to the hospital at the speed of light reaching the hospital.

Seeing the area outside of the hospital with about 50 of both strigoi's and zombies, i use my speed to help clear them out puncturing their brains. Walking to the entrance of the hospital when i smell blood coming from the inside causing me to change in to my second hybrid state while clenching my throat.

(Inside the hospital)

Skylar: Helping Sue up after killing the zombie that was on top of her as she tried to save an fellow comrade "are you ok?" as i'd looked at her stomach.

Suzanne: "M-Mhmm, i...i'm fine as it seems that the wound is healed looking up at Sky as i point "look your's is healed as well Sky."

Skylar: Looking at my stomach as the slash i had on my stomach has turn in to an scar that looks like an scratch just like Sue's when we heard Casi gasp.

Casey: "Mine has as well..." with me only seeing indents of fingers around the heart area of my chest."

Gahan: Looking at all them "what do you think that this..." stopping when we feel an overwhelming power surge that felt familiar to us, causing us to look at the entrance of the hospital as we "CLEO!"

(At the entrance of the hospital)

Grabbing my throat while i'm hunched over on the ground with my head on my arm, i am able to sense the other's running to me as i had felt my power go out control shortly due to my blood thirst. Before i managed to get it back under control.

With big sister being the first to reach me she almost slidded on her knees to reach me with her laying me on her lap to see me panting, with my eyes closed while i was in my second state "they...they must not see me like this i..." biting my lower lip 'no...i can't if i do they will now that i've been hidding something from them all this time.'

Casey: "CLEO! ARE YOU REALLY TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING FROM US! EVEN NOW WITH YOU BEING IN THIS STATE! WHAT IS IT! THAT YOU NEED TOO HEAL!
