Oh, how reality love to be cruel pt2

With Sky and Sue holding my hands I smile, and I lean in giving them kisses on their lips causing them to smile, causing Liza to walk over to get a kiss as well. When a voice breaks the moment with it being a voice that we're all familiar with, "it seems that you guys are still extremely close just like before. Why am I the only one left out, I want to know this secret that Cleo has that's causes you all to show her this much emotional support."

Turning towards where the voice came from "BEN! YOUR HERE TOO!" while I run over to him hugging him. He's Gah and Casi friend from childhood and like a second brother to me.

Ben: Hugging Cleo back "hey Cleo, I'm glad to see you and the others are safe, me and my parents just got in today."

Casey: Walking over to them "it's good to see that you're in one piece Ben alongside knowing that your family is safe as well."

Gahan: Punching him on the shoulder "about time you got here man" chuckling before saying "why did it take you so long to get here."

Leaving the hug Ben and Gah do their own special handshake, before turning to me and saying, "so are you going to tell me this secret that you have."

Smiling at him "of course, I'll tell you but first let's go to where we're staying as...it's a little sensitive."

(Back at the temp living apartment)

Sitting in the living room with me, Sky, Sue, and Liza on one couch, with Casi, Gah, Ben, and Lili are on the other. With our parents sitting on the chairs from the kitchen at the front of the couches. I look at Ben before "what you're about to hear must be kept only between us and be known by you Ben, as you can't even tell your parents this as it will only cause them trouble."

Ben: "Come now Cleo, you know me better than that, you know I wouldn't tell anything without permission first."

Smiling "I know Ben, but this is something that must stay a secret, being that it can change the dynamics of what's left of humanity. And it is alternately placing our lives in danger, if the military or even the new forming government finds it out." Seeing him nod in understanding I was to see that he understands the gravity, of what it meant for what he's going to be finding out.

Sighing, while I close my eyes to feel my strength increasing with it surging through me. This time it feels that its pulsating from with inside of me, while it feels now that something has changed along with it to. It's like I have a new power that's been added to my strength.

Before opening my eyes, the appearance that I had was changed back to me having my white and black hair. For me to have the mitched matched eye colors return with one of my eyes being blue and the other purple.

Seeing my family's expression along with Ben's they have noticed the difference in me while I can to now, along with me being able to feel that I'm emitting my strength off of me. With me now knowing what this new power is that I have gotten."

Skylar: It feels as if her strength is emitting off of her as Cleo transformed back into her hybrid state, she seems to have taken on the same appearance to before. But it feels like she's changed, more than being able to now have her strength emitting off of her.

Which has me "C-Cleo...h... has somethings in you changed, it seems that your eyes and hair are now more...radiant than before."

Turning to look at her to have our eye's meet to have saw the awe, curiosity, and reverence in her eye's before looking to the other's and seeing the same in theirs along with Ben's.

I smile to them "yes, I have gained a new power that lets me protect all of you better. To where we no longer have anything to fear from the monster's."

Suzanne: Placing my hand on top of Cleo's so I could intertwine them "babe, what is this new power that you've been able to have gained."

Kissing Sue on the cheek "it appears that I can give other's the same power that I have but for them to be as strong as me, it will be determined by their own innate ability that they possess. As it appears that they'd also be able to have the same two state that I do. But theirs second state would be different from mines, with me not knowing how strong they will or even how strong my own is or what comes with my second state yet."

Upon hearing this news, they all gasped as their shock expressions showed on their faces with dad being the first to break his state of shock.

Cole: "So you're saying that you can make us just like you, but how and what caused you to evolve to this level."

Shaking my head "I... I don't know but yes, I can make all of you like me by having you all drink my blood as for the amount doesn't matter. For the tiniest amount can change you, but the same could be said if you have too much. while you would change to being one of them but much...much stronger."

Casey: "So you're saying that drinking too much of your blood would turn us in to one of those mindless monsters, but we would have increased strength compared to what they already have. But drinking from the tiniest of your blood to the right amount of your blood, would be safe for us so that we will be able to be just like you."

Looking at big sister "right but I know the right amount of blood to be enough for all you but I..."

Nancy: Seeing what has my daughter to be hesitant I smile "I understand what your worried about baby girl but think of it like this. What if something was to happen to me, your dad, and the other girl's parents when your all away from the city at that time. Wouldn't it be better if we had the same powers that you and the girls have to protect ourselves."

Sighing, I while knowing mom is right, I let the thoughts of me trying to protest leave my mind as I no longer hesitate. Letting go of Sue's hand I got up and walked to the kitchen to get a cup with a knife, knowing that we were short on time.

Before standing at the front of the glass table in between the couches the other's had stood up while they faced me.

Looking at all of them "are you sure that you all want to go through with this... especially you Ben? if you go through with this. It will not only cause you to not be able to tell your mom and dad, but it will also put you at the risk of being separated from them if this secret ever gets out about all of us.

Ben: "I know the risk of this Cleo; you guys are also family to mines and I know they would also understand so let's do this."

Seeing him stand firm behind his choice I'd also looked at the others to see that they'd also stood behind their choice. Putting the cup down and bending over it, while it was on the table with my hand over the cup alongside the knife that's blade is on the palm of my hand.

I make a small cut at the end of my palm to have it drip enough blood into the cup so they could drink it. After a few minutes I will the wound to heal and give the cup to my big sister first with her being the closest to me, she takes it from me before she kneels as she says. "As the first knight of Cleolani I vow to protect, serve, follow, an obey as I will follow all and every command that you give from this day forth, you're not only my little sister but the hope of humanity."
