Reverse This Curse

Daisuke couldn't help but laugh at Aly, she was one peculiar girl. "Aly, you are not like other girls even the ones that have gone through the same things you have." He quickly glanced at her as a particular thought crossed her mind. He shook his head slightly. "Aly I wish you'd just relax around me. I'm not going to spontaneously kidnap you against your will and take advantage of you. So please, just relax."

"There are only a handful of Freaks that were successfully created. Most of the subjects we chose ended up dying or got killed for their own good. Some of them escaped and others are working for me," Chiyon said in a cold robot-like voice, she was mentally keeping back the human Chiyon personality from taking over her body.



When Yuka was sure that Prometheus was gone, she let her guard down. Immediately she collapsed to the ground panting, the effects from the accident she had in Chiyon's lab were starting to really affect her. Yuka went to grab onto a rocky wall nearby only to find that her entire right arm had morphed into a large blade. It only stayed for a moment before disappearing and changing back into her normal arm. "This can't be good..." Yuka muttered.

 

She smiled, shaking her head. "And yet, that is the first time I have heard that compliment. If you could even call it one." She sighed, letting go of his hand. "Am I supposed to think otherwise? Even if I am different, I'm still just human, and you're vampire. That small genetic difference in us shows itself. I wouldn't be able to hurt you." She rubbed her wrist thoughtfully, staring at the floor for a few seconds, then came back to her senses. "I'll try, alright? If you tell me what you're looking for."

 

Rik waited where he was stood. He wasn't going to ditch her as she could be a useful asset to who ever she sides with although, he was unable to leave behind injured people in places like these unless he had no other option.

OOC: short post.

 

"We vampires aren't as invincible as you think we are. Some of us still have blood running in our veins." Daisuke sighed. "I've been looking for family members lately... I found out that before I went to war back then, my sister was pregnant with her second child. I'm hoping that I can find my family again so I can sort out a few things. I don't know why I am talking about this." Daisuke covered his face with his hands. It had been over a millennium since he saw any of his family. He never got to say any last words or anything to his sister before he went to war and he wanted to make amends. "Hopefully, my sister is still living here in the citadel..."

A few more minutes passed and the wound slowly closed shut. Cadence checked to see of there was still any blood oozing out and when she was sure that there wasn't any, she stood up and brushed the dirt off of her legs. "I'm ready to go when you are."

 

"Alright then", Rik said as he began to head in the direction of the city. He walked at a casual pace, it was a distance to the city and if they rushed now they would have to stop. Rik's sword swung in his sheath on his back as he stepped. The long oriental sword was hard to use for humans but for a vampire it was quite easy to lift as a two handed weapon but Rik was able to use one hand hence why he carried it.

 

Aly watched him, her eyes confused. "So...back up a second. Your sister was alive last time you saw her, which was the last war. Wasn't that.....? So then she would be..." she let the question hang, waiting for an answer. She had gotten involved fast, and she didn't know if she liked it.

 

Kaji chuckled slightly. "Of course some of them escaped. After all, a leader needs followers, right? I simply find that its easier to control people of my own kind." Kaji said, with a slight chuckle, obviously hinting off that he had to do with quite a few escapees. "But come now. Why do something so cruel? Wouldn't you rather sit back and relax? Not have to worry about any of this work at all?" Kaji said to her, trying to make things sound a little more friendly again.

 

Cadence sighed heavily and readjusted the strap attactched to the sheath of her sword. An old habit she had when she had nothing to do while walking. "So how did you die Rik?" Cadence asked, she had heard all kinds of things but had never heard of how Rik died, it actually made her curious.

"It's something I heard of just recently, that she was alive. After her second child apparently she got sick with the flu and I think her husband helped her out," Daisuke chuckled. "Funny, you humans usually hated vampires, hunting them down and killing them saying that they are evil beings and yet, you use us as a source of curing certain diseases. Amazing."

"You obviously don't know the actual me, the original Chiyon. My father was killed by a certain right-hand-man's parents when he was still human over a millenium ago. You know what I did? I made sure he suffered the most painful and agonizing transformation into a vampire, worse than what you went through, worse than what any other ex-human vampire had been through." Chiyon's voice went venomous. The wound on her stomach sealed up and the scar disappeared a few seconds after. "Put me down please."

 

Rik looked behind him as he walked forward in the direction the city was in. "How I died, huh?", he smirked out, "I was attacked by Chiyon's forces but after a while I grew tired, I took down enough of her men to satisfy my fight but I was denied my sleep since I was resurrected", he explained. He grinned lightly from a thought of his.

 

"Huh. And you're one of the only people that can actually match Chiyon in the art of swordsmanship as well... probably the only one alive now." Cadence pondered on another topic, she decided to ask Rik if he knew anything, if he didn't she would tell him. "Have you heard of the term 'Freaks'?" she asked in a more serious voice.


ooc: *is going to be shot for possible Prototype reference in next post*

 

"Freaks? As in mutated humans and vampires?", Rik asked back. If the answer was yes he may know of one, a strange vampire who was sought by the rebellion. This besides, he knew there where more of them but he had never encountered one other than the man on his mind who may or may not be a 'Freak'.

 

"We prefer to be known as genetically-modified vampires and humans. Only very few humans and vampires are compatible to be turned into a Freak. A lot die in the process. We all have individual abilities, depending on our personality and such. Example, I have Chiyon's abilities and Daisuke's inhuman ability to heal and on top of that, I can sometimes detect if someone is compatible. Chiyon is trying to create the ultimate weapon, a Freak that can morph any part of his/her body into a weapon of some sorts. From what I heard, there is only one but he only became like that because of an error in an experiment that he was a subject in. There is also a rumor that another vampire had bitten him and has now got the exact same powers as him." Cadence took in a breath, "Chiyon is currently trying to track that vampire down. Who ever they are, I feel sorry for them."

 

Aly smiled, albeit a little bitterly. "Only some of us." she gently rubbed her arm, her eyes far away. "I would....not be able to handle a vampire helping me that way." She blinked, then smiled a little again. "Fun memories, hm?"

 

Daisuke didn't say anything in response to Aly's last question, his mind was in another time. He noted somethnig as well, the way Aly acted sometimes... it was almost similar to how his sister acted. He couldn't help but let a smile form on his lips at this little realization of his. "Just a bit of nostalgia about my sister from this little conversation we've been having." Daisuke chuckled. "I have to admit, you are similar in personality in some ways to my sister. Sorry if that sounded weird or if it offended you." Daisuke couldn't help but chuckle again, he had a good idea on how Aly would react to what he said.

 

She stared at him for a bit. "I'm like your sister. The one who was sick and might still be alive hundreds of years later?" she kept her voice quiet, but her tone was almost incredulous. "Would you like me to start teaching you your ABC's all over again?"

 

Yuka bit down on her lip, the sharp edges of her teeth cut into her skin like butter but she didn't care. Her tongue automatically brushed against her bottom lip and cleaned up the blood and healed the wound before it had a chance to trickle anywhere.
Her body began pulsing again, she braced herself for what was about to come. Bubbling and cracking noises covered her entire right arm again and it turned into a gigantic blade again, Yuka just stared at her arm in shock. "Funny how it starts really acting up as soon as Kaji is back... like its responding to something." She shook her head, dull pain rung through her right arm.


On impulse, Cadence got a small dagger out of a pouch on her hip andgrabbed her hair which was in a ponytail. She rested the sharp side of the blade just at the bade of the ponytail and pulled the dagger in an upwards motion. Effortlessly cutting through the hair. He hair was now only at shoulder length, she dropped the hair she cut off on the ground and stretched her arms up in the air.

"Thanks, but no thanks." Daisuke chuckled. "I didn't say you were my sister, I just said that you were like my sister. In some ways anyway. Something tells me that you two would get along so well that it scares me." Daisuke chuckled.

 

Aly rolled her eyes. "You need better pick up lines." she informed him, stretching her legs out slightly. "You aren't bothered by the sun?" she asked suddenly, looking out the window. She knew something had been bothering her...the sun was going to come up soon.

 

"Remember, my heart was already stolen by someone else, but they died." Daisuke remembered back to a human girl he knew over a century ago, she was such a shy beautiful thing. Daisuke looked at the sunlight coming through the window and resting gently on the bare skin of his arm. "I'm not bothered by it. I'm one quarter Day-Walker, as long as its not like, strong direct summer sunlight I'm okay."

 

Aly looked back at him, then smiled a little, putting away the dried dishes. "It's hard to remember you're a vampire, you're so goddamned normal." She murmured, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear as she worked quickly. "There's always a girl. What was she like?"

 

"She was nice, but she was a bit shy... She had never seen a vampire before and-" Daisuke cut off, he remembered what he had witnessed that time. Out of quick thinking, he edited some of the details out. "She was bitten by a hungry one. I should of just healed the god damn wound but no, I had to be an idiotic individual and bite her and change her into something she wasn't meant to be."
