Hypocrite

Even as they all went to sleep, Kai had been using his powers to monitor the environment around him, and even ICE.

Mika and Eira lay a few meters away from him, with Luella dozing off beside Lukas.

Nour and Javier were still talking amongst themselves while Melanie stayed alone, checking if she heard anything, at times she'd walk around the building but she never strayed far from where they all stayed.

Antoine was on his own, with Alex near him. Kai could hear whispers and a racing heart beat.

"Shut up shut up shut up" the person repeated.

*DROP*

Kai heard as blood dropped on the floor. He opened his eyes and quickly sat up. He looked around him, his gaze landed on Alex not so far away.

Alex seemed to be sweating profusely as he tried hard to wipe the blood from his nose.

"Is everything okay?" Melanie asked

It was then Kai noticed her presence, she was standing and staring at him.

He looked at her briefly before looking away.

She smiled and sat beside him "You don't like me do you?" She said and rsted her back on the wall behind her. She waited for his response but didn't get any so se continued "Good, but cause I don't like you either"

She brought out a book and placed it beside Kai "It's a pity this is happening though," she said and let out a sigh "I heard you and Mika talking about Bella, did you know she was going to die?" She asked but again Kai ignored her and didn't respond.

"We may not like eachother here but to survive we-"

"Get up and walk" Kai said sternly.

Melanie smiled at him "Or else?"

Kai looked at her "I don't talk to hypocrites, come to be when you decide not to spout rubbish. Now leave" he said sternly.

Melanie leaned a bit and whispered in his ear "I may be a hypocrite but you are a different breed entirely, you are hiding far too much for your own good. Whatever your hiding will claw out and drag you into the pitiful dark whole which you originated from"

Melanie stood up and walked away. Kai let out a sigh and looked at the book she left, he picked it up and opened it, it was a journal.

"Isabella" Kai said softly.

"She tried to warn you" Kai heard Entity say.

"I know, this dates back to when I first joined the school" Kai said as he read through the pages "It's a journal about me?" He asked no one but himself.

.....

"Your nose is bleeding" Peter said as he looked down.

"No shit" Rivera said as she wiped her nose "Whose fault is that?" She asked rhetorically.

"Hmmm"

"Will you listen now?" Rivera asked as she opened the door. Peter nodded and followed her as she left the room.

He followed her into another lab, there a man seemed busy as he focused on a microscope before him.

"You'll work here" Rivera said "And if you see anyone bleeding by their nose, kill on sight" she said in a stern tone.

"But you are bleeding by the nose" Peter replied with a smirk

Rivera rolled her eyes "On the microscope is Dr. Waters, the one that alerted us of this, we have been trying our best to deal with it since, well before the outbreak anyway" she explained "You'll be working with him as well, hopefully we can fight this thing"

"What about the people that haven't turned yet?" Peter asked.

"We are still searching for humans that haven't been evacuated yet, any contaminated is killed on sight, suspects are killed as well" she explained.

"What if they were attacked like I did to you and their nose bleeds, you'd be killing innocent civilians" Peter replied.

"Says a killer"

"You know nothing about be Rivera" Peter shot back

"We will do anything in our power to preserve our race" Rivera snapped

"That you will" they both heard someone say and turned to face Water who seemed to have been looking at them for a while.

He had tattered white hair and his beard looked as unkept as him, the lab coat he wore even had stains on it and was barely hanging on to its whote reputation.

"Get out" he said looking at Rivera. Rivera rolled her eyes and looked at Peter.

"Work hard" she said before she left.

"You two have history or something?" Waters asked.

"She wishes" Peter said with a smile "You seem..."

"I am only working here to try and do what I can for the innocent out there" Waters explained "So far what we have is that once they start to bleed from the nose there's no going back" he said as he moved around the lab.

"But what is turning them?" Peter asked watching him.

"Well" Waters said as he reached under a table and pulled up a suitcase "that's what we need to find out" he placed the suitcase on the table and opened it.

Peter walked over to him to see what's inside.

In the suitcase where sealed vials of monster blood and on closer observation.

"Are they moving?" Peter asked.

"Some are" Waters said and brought a vial out before closing the suitcase. "You see these creatures are not at all the same in anyway, the only similarities they share is the thirst for our blood and surprisingly the blood in their veins are the same as well"

"Like their DNA is the same?" Peter asked.

"No like they are all the same but in different forms" Whites answered.

"If they are all connected then who's connecting them?"

.....

Melanie looked past the door at the monster lurking.

Her eyes turned black and a strand of hair turned silver 

*Raven* 

Her eyes reverted back as she looked around but saw no one around.

"You okay Mel?" Melanie let out a gasp and turned to see Lukas in front of her

"Oh yes" she said with a smile "Why are you up?" 

"Go get some sleep I'll take over" Lukas said and took the torch she held in her hand 

"Thanks" she replied and walked away.
