Chapter 202 - Chapter 19

I took blood from werewolves who had to fight vampires. This cleared the air of all misconceptions. How some vampires had lied and falsely accused werewolves to rally people to fight them. I also met wolves who were born into servitude. They had marks on their backs where a vampire had belted them. The vampires met them and they forgave each other. They hugged each other and cried. They still chose to stay among their own but they vowed not to lash out if their paths cross. They thanked me for giving them this moment. The new ones got to see things since I had a sip before handing them over so no one can spread lies. As everyone was getting inner peace I sat down to think about what I can do to find my own inner peace. Oleg and the rest of my team has already cleared their conscious.

I focused on the memories. I remember I was hobbling to get to my room when I heard the doctor telling mom this was the final treatment. If it doesn't work then prepare my funeral because I will die. I had come here with high hopes only to be told I am dying. I was looking for a place to hide while I cry when I saw a man in a fur coat. The raven haired man with a ponytail. He spoke to a nurse asking if he could hide a refrigerated box till he ask for it again. The nurse asked if this was the universal cure. I was so delighted till the raven haired man sighed in frustration. He explained it was incriminating pictures of a politician. He is supposed to keep it safe. The nurse was disheartened. But I was determined. I want to be cured. I want to have friends and live a normal life. I followed him and waited till he was away to check the contents of the box. It was a blood bag and two vials.

I was swimming in the pool when Cain came over. He was grinning. Apparently the younger ones are calling him Raven. In my defense I didn't know his name till we were properly introduced. He was genuinely curious, "We had that blood for over a year. The previous one was so troublesome we killed him. You did this yourself not knowing the consequences. I have to admit you are exactly what we all needed." I made it clear, "I don't want to be human. I wanted a family and I got one. I am simply recalling my life from start to finish because every once in a while someone keeps asking me what I want. I need to find an answer so they will stop asking." After all these years I noticed he looked years younger. I guess the end of a thousand war can do that.

He didn't say anything. He stared at me for a while before he went to use the treadmill. I got messages from some of my relatives say they want to be human again. They don't feel the need to be an immortal any more. They have sent their blood to the Synthetics. So we can have a family. After a month they were human again. They loved quietly in the vampire only cities. When they died they were cremated and their ashes scattered to the wind. Every new batch was shown the entire truth with total honesty and transparency. If they are going to part of our family they need to know the truth. They got to chose which side to be in. Some of the deceased were cloned and came back in a much younger version.

The Synthetics kept their mouths shut as they did what we asked. The foreigner were lead to believe we were cloning deceased relatives. For some reason we are always under populated. It turned out the military was absorbing them as permanent sentry. I told them they better cough up the ones they have taken. The men and women rejoined society. They were a little awkward but we helped them integrate. I sae fewer children had came with this batch. The new ones got the explanation. They got to chose which one they can be once they are bitten. I got permission to link and they got to see. They saw everyone's memories and personal thoughts. We stopped talking in the meetings and just show what we plan to do. And the end result. Some good and some bad. I vetoed the bad ones and allowed the good ones.

Everyone switched careers and moved around. The newer batch was sent to basic training instead of the military world. The military planet was changed into a farming world. A section was left just for weapons manufacturing. The weapon were hidden in the basement levels in their houses. The army base in Nocny was set up with seven levels of training. The newer ones did two levels then moved into society. Five years later they complete their training. What they do after as long as they don't break the law is allowed. Roland asked me to show him memories where I was sick. I showed him the one where I vomited blood. The days when I have to use a wheelchair or crutches. How I would stare out the window while kids got to go to school.

The werewolves have only see the daily life of whichever city I am staying. How I take a moment to be grateful for every second. They have seen glimpses of their alpha's life when they are bitten. This is to ensure they are up to date on what is going on. They asked to see more. I focused on one memory where I went out to greet a new neighbor. The other kids in the neighborhood were very rude to me. I came home crying. Mom was not home. I wished for friends. I hated that I was sick. The newer ones stared blankly. Mom came home and I started to cough up blood. She took me to hospital and I wanted to give up. Mom was crying as the doctors inserted needles. I wanted to die. I was alone and that wasn't going to change. I heard her yelling, "Alexi. You can fight this. You can do this. Who are you? Tell me!"

I realized that mom was the only one who cared. I have someone worth living for. I was struggling as I answered her. My voice sounded raspy as I struggled to answer her, "I am...am... Your... Apex predator" The new ones understood why their population was increased. Their presence was soothing my aching heart. They wanted to see more of mom. I was trying to focus but I accidentally showed them the memory of the day Shaw shot mom. He was bored as she told him not to take me away. I am person. What he was about to do was inhumane. He just stared at her like she was an insect on his path. Killing her was the most normal thing. No tears no remorse. Everyone took a moment of silence. They agreed to be careful so they don't become such a monster. I took a breath and recalled the day Uncle J told me about the washing machine.

I asked him if it can iron the clothes so mom can spend more time with me. He apologized as technology wasn't that evolved. As I left the room I silently declared war on the machine. Oleg was laughing as he remembered the stories Batou told him. The days he would visit and I would be yelling at the machine. In a fit of rage I would swing my crutches to hit it. Everyone was laughing. As Batou showed them the memory. I begged him not to. Finally Batou asked me about the scar on my palm. I showed how I sliced my hand. In mere moments I was barred from the kitchen. I had to send a request and it is sent over. The vampires sent me barrels of aged blood as a peace offering. The wolves sent box filled with meat. I was invited by both. I promise to come once I dealt with the new kidnapper.

I intend to catch him. Hopefully the dark knights will be stop him before he eats poison. Oleg asked them to use hypnosis since I have issues with it. Everyone wanted to see why. I showed them the memory and majority chose to agree with Oleg. They hated Irene and Sonja because they convinced me to hate a part of myself. The werewolves agreed I did the right thing. A rogue werewolves were why they were careful who they bite. Vampires previously had similar problems. So they are equally dedicated to avoid it. I cried a little and Cain came over and stroked my hair. I am going to get this person to divulge who sent him. Oleg had a different idea, "Why don't we send him back to whoever sent him. He would go and kill the guy."

Everyone yelled at Oleg, "Since when did you become Irene?" He apologized as we tried to figure out who was hired him. As the sunrise I walked out as me. I didn't need to point out who the kidnapper was. The spiral orbiting our planet will testify who the man was. I walked out in casual clothes. The Wraith and Reapers were ready to take him out. I walked into the chocolate shop. As I was checking out the varieties he stepped forward to hurt me. A Wraith name Cameron came forward and fell on him. She pretended to be clumsy person to distract him. Another one name Kava silently injected him with a chemical which put him to sleep. He was out cold. As he was hauled out as a drunk I apologized. They didn't mind at all.

They weren't mindless drones. They are people with feelings who were busy with other priorities. I just yanked them out. So I had to ask for forgiveness. Kava chuckled, "No worries Sis. We would hate ourselves if you were nabbed." I went back home and hugged them both. They watched me as I went upstairs to change my outfit. I changed my outfit and came down to fix the affairs of the nation. To me every Nocny is my brother, sister, uncle or aunt. The only I want was to be loved and have a family. I got what I wished for times a thousand. I am not replacing them for anything. As I sat on the throne a tourist snuck in. Callum asked angrily, "Can someone explain to me how these people are getting inside a restricted zone?" The Pretorian guards had no explanation.

They checked the security and saw there was a few second window so they could sneak around. Now they placed guards that stay in their place when tourists are here. The woman asked, "How they can tell who you are if you are covered?" Søren started to laughing, "The point is we get to see her face. You don't." She asked, "I don't think it is necessary to cover her face." Orum explained, "We told her to cover her face. She is respecting our wishes" she asked me to take it off. Orum asked me to keep the mask on. I ignored her as I picked up a tablet and scrolled. She asked me if I was deaf. Everyone snarled at her. She jumped up a few feet. Søren got up and she took a step back. She wanted to see my face because King Griffin is refusing to marry her because he still choses me. Oleg made it clear she is not seeing my face so she get surgery to look like me. She was escorted out.
