Other Monsters

Entering the blood bank, it was packed and in a gym like facility, actually, I think this place was made from an old gym? From the floors to the basketball hoops still here.

Glancing around the room as now isn't the time to get distracted, I saw who Hank was talking about, she was wearing pink scrubs, her skin was a pure radiant white, and she had her hair in a bun as she drew man's blood.

But something didn't seem right, and I felt an ominous presence all around me from just looking at her, like my danger sense was just going off from being inside here.

It put me on edge, Hank might have been right bout her.

But at the same time, it excited me, it's been a long time since I felt the rush of a good fight, if I take her here and now, I wonder how her strength would compare to mine.

Instinctively walking straight to her. With a smile spread across my face as I could feel my hunting prowess just rumble from inside me... Anticipating hunting her dead.

As I was yards away, she was at the back of the room, and this excitement in me grew. . .*Flinch*. . .But then I stopped my feet as a woman in white walked past me.

Her skin, soft looking and white, her hair loose an black, her glance, startled me with a mere look of her cold grey eyes; an they looked like there were mocking... Only me?

Honestly, if I didn't have to mature at so young, I think I might have caught feelings for her with a mere glance.

Looking across from her to a woman, to the woman in the back with white skin, black eyes, and hair, hair tied into a bun, she moved in front of the kid she's working with, an squatting down infront of him, something she said made him go from being anxious to smiling. Hm.

I wish I could say the same for that one, but she's not my type, wait! What am I talking about? She's my foe!!

UGH! Hank didn't ask me to come here for that stuff!

Maybe I've already been enchanted... No, scratch that.

Something's not adding up, the pressures in here have gotten stronger. And it's making my beast side act up.

No wonder I'm thinking like this... Damm hormones...

Glancing back to the woman who walked past me, she was wearing white scrubs, and not looking back over to me, she walked to a group of women, all similar to her.

All with pale skin and steel grey eyes, black hair, and a smile on their faces, their eyes occasionally glanced over to me, I feel like I'm trapped, do they suspect me?

Wait...

Damn it, I knew I should have dyed my hair... It's too noticeable that I'm a wolf, no wonder they're looking at me, glancing around, almost everyone is looking at me!

Everyone except... The woman in question, she's not?

Continuing to walk over to her, and getting to her, "Are you available?" I said asking as she was chatting with a donating kid. Damn it, has the war gone this bad to where even kids have to start pitching in, even in a neutral city?

Glancing back after handing the kid a piece of candy, she stood back up, looking at me, slightly startled, "Um" hm? Is this woman really the one who Hank suspected?

She looks dumb? Like, did he overthink this, so boring.

She glanced around, but then her shoulders dropped, "I am..." stepping over to the side, and grabbing an empty pack, "I'm not here fo–" I tried talking but she lazily cut me off, like she was already tired of today, "Sit down..."

How dare she, a mere monster daring to cut me off.

But glaring at her, she looked back at me with a new pack on a pole and a needle and patch in her hands, and with a questioning look on her face, ugh. . .I played patient...

But I don't want to do this, especially not to someone like her, someone who looks dull like a candle, no fire just a blank wax cone that has no burning energy, or even any energy at all. No wonder he suspects her, she looks like she's dead already, no fuck that, she acts like she is too.

But I have a job, so I guess I'll just fucking play along!

But I won't be happy while doing it, it's not like she's some beauty, she even looks like a monster to me!

"Humph!"

Sitting down, I decided to ask questions as I crossed my leg over my other one. Putting my arm on the armrest, "I haven't seen you around here before, how long have you been working here... Woman" I asked, glaring at her.

And coming to my side and touching my hand, "Why is everyone asking me this today...?" she said possibly to herself, but saying it out loud like a dimwit would have.

So just like anyone would of and should of, I said back to her while bored out of my mind and waiting to make the decision on whether or not I have enough evidence to kill her or just come back when she leaves and do it.

"Because you don't look like you're from around here, and people get suspicious during war times you know"

I said bored, and making her realize that she had said it out loud, making her a little jumpy as she finally noticed.

"Uhhhhhh... Anyways, I'm... From up north" she said but it's common for hidden monsters with her complexion to say something like that, "Where from up north," I said bluntly. What's she going to do? She can't kill me in here.

"I'm from a small village, Rolland," she said, lying to me.

"Never heard of it," I said, calling her bluffed birthplace.

"I'm glad for that then... The people there are nasty"

She said but I didn't get it, I can understand her despite her accent, but, there's so much emotion in her voice as of now, before it was tired, but now, it's like she's down?

"Also, I know you're talking to me to distract yourself from the needle, but question? Why are you interested in me?"

This's what I don't like about the intelligent undead, they always try to change topics when you question them, and I can't sense any magic being used from her, and cause she's undead, I have no clue if she's lieing to me either.

*She's not changing topics, she just doesn't wanna talk*

"I'm just interested in other foreigners you see, I'm one too," I said, and she didn't even look at me, she just kept her eye on the needle failing to penetrate my tough skin.

Idiot, I'm a wolf warrior, not even iron can pierce me.

But then finally looking up, seems like she's catching on, "Oh, that's cool. But can you close your eyes, it's nothing personal, but I'm about to prick you and I don't wanna trigger anything in your brain. It's like a procedure?"

Oh... Uh, never mind, so she didn't catch on then?

I guess this ghoul is duller than I thought, huh?

"Ha, idiot, nothing in this world can pierce me" I stated.

Although, this is a good chance to listen to the others while she attempts to break my skin. I know there are other monsters in here, I wonder what they're saying?

Either way, I doesn't matter, I can easily defeat them all, hahaha! After all, I don't seem like it, but I'm powerful!!!

But I promised Hank, so I guess I'll be patient for now.

Listening in, "Hey look over there, you see that Wolf Boy over with that girl, he looks cute," but hearing them I just stopped as they made my face red, how dare they do it!

I'm basically royalty and yet these monsters are talking cute about me! I'll show them how cute I am when I kill them! "Ugh!" I groaned, and opening my eyes, she just...

Looking down at the needle as it broke my skin, I felt a warm spot around the needle, and my eyes opened wide as she just pierced my skin...Not even an iron sword can!?

"How did you... How did you do that...?" I asked her.

And shocked I acted rashly, shooting up from the chair, I grabbed her by her collar of her scrubs and pulled her in demanding an answer, "I told you to tell me how the hell you did that!" I yelled in her face and she looked terrified.

I could feel as her heart was beating out of her chest and her breath became realllllly fast, it felt like she was going to have a panic attack from me just grabbing her.

But then it hit me and I froze, I can hear her rapidly beating heart, this girl isn't an undead, or some rare Progenitor, she's just a girl, a regular human girl. . .

An causing some commotion as I acted over something in which was her job description, to take blood using a needle which probably was meant for all races, an not just humans. . .I think I might have overreacted here.

But still!, "Grrrr!" growling at her, she pissed me off! But still, "Ugh..." I can't lose my cool in front of some human.

Letting go, I stepped back but then realized there was a tube connecting me to a bag and drawing out my blood, feeling embarrassed for what I did, I lowered my head...

"Sorry... As you said, I shouldn't have looked at the needle..." I was going to take it out and leave, but...

"N-No, you're fine, just sit back down, I'll be alright"

She said with a firm and gentle voice, one kind and both understanding as well, and as she glanced at the others staring at us, she ignored them and tended only to me.

Somehow managing to get me back into the chair and talking me down to a calmer state, it was as if she was using magic, but she wasn't, she's only talking to me?...

After filling the pack, and getting me to look away this time as she took out the needle and put on this small patch on my arm, I felt like a child again by how I was being handled, and at the same time, it didn't anger me?

Looking at her, "Miss, how old are you?" I asked, cause seriously, I don't know why, but she speaks like the sage at home, even for a human, it has me so very confused?

"Me?... Oh, I'm 19? Why?" she said and I sighed at her.

Not being able to see her face is seriously bothering me, so reaching over and pulling down her mask as I spoke, "No reason, I'm Adam The Great, don't you forget my. . ." but as I was about to say don't forget my name, human.

Pulling down her mask to see her face in full, with her mouth slightly open, her small nose, and her soft black eyes looking down at me, my face became red as hell.

"Name..." I finished saying and I turned my head, getting up as fast as I could out of that chair and taking a few steps away from her as my heart pounded for a sec.

What the hell, she's as dull as a cobbler–woman but she's not ugly either? It surprised me way too much?!

And not doing anything about what I said, "Uh, alright?" did she not care that I saw her face, or even that I did that to her? Usually, people would have gotten upset?

Looking back at her, "Yeah sorry, I gotta go, also hey woman! Don't forget my name! It's Adam!" I said rushing out of there, and not because she beautiful, she was far from that, it's because I just realized how long I've been gone!

Leaving, and rushing out of the blood bank, when I opened the door, I saw two tall men in black walking around the corner, with white hair and glasses on each.

"Damn it..." They found me too soon. Kickin' the ground, I leaped to the side by a truck, leaping and climbing on top, I leaped off of it and past its fence to make a break for it.

Taking out my phone and calling Hank's cell, his phone answered, "Hey! I don't know about the girl you suspect being a ghoul, but there are others in there. Monsters!"

I said but his phone hung up after a few seconds of silence, and stopping, that's not like Hank at all, so I had to call him back one more time, but he didn't pick it up?

*Meanwhile, panting and out of breath, Hank was on his back as he layed next to a bunch of corpses that had covered his arms in cuts and their black bloods, "Gross" he coughed as he picked up his phone next to him, and seeing that he missed a call from Adam, he put it on his chest and closed his eyes as he caught his breath. . .*

*Opening his eyes back up, he called Adam back and said, "I got held up by a mini freak hive, what's up?"*

. . . . (Meanwhile, Back With Catherine). . . . .

Watching as that Adam guy ran away, with his long silky white hair bouncing as he ran, "The hell is his problem?"
