I was walking around the capital Washington DC now renamed October when I asked to go with a handful of soldiers. They were from everywhere. Russia, Mexico and even Spain. I nod my head to say hello and they stared at me questioning their life choices. The politician asked nicely if I was ok. I answered, "I am fine. But your soldiers are staring at me like I did the last time I ordered Fusion food. The taste was so horrible. I had no choice but to call the police and tell them that I was robbed." The politician was staring with surprise. The soldiers were laughing hysterically. The Hispanic man said happily, "She will fit right in with the other young survivors." The elderly man smiled, "This is Sasha the queen of the nocturnals. She will be accompanying you to collect survivors. There will be no specimen collection and no scientists allowed on the expedition. Maybe an engineer or two will accompany you. Are we clear?" The soldiers stared at me weirdly, "No problem." I walked past the suit and made it clear if this is a trick. He will wish his mother had kept her legs closed. He calmly smiled, "Have a nice day." I turned around and started sniffing. A werewolf asked politely if there was an issue. I said the troublemaker is back and he is trying to get everyone on this mission in the morgue. It is possible they will die horrible deaths if he comes. The asked me if I deduced all this by smell. I explained my sharp hearing. I am eavesdropping on an evil plot to destroy the wall and allowing the increased death till on innocent people. He is glorifying the screams of children. As though it is a lullaby which will help him sleep.
This earned a growl or two. I pinpointed his location as I asked for a sedative. I want him to wake up in a jail cell where he won't cause problems. I prefer he was hauled into solitary confinement but I doubt we would find one right now. The soldiers politely asked who I was referring to. I pointed to a man wearing a t-shirt of a blue skinned man with a crescent moon on top of his head. I explained how he is part of a cult called the purge. They believe that certain races deserve everything while everyone must survive on oxygen. He is here to figure how to disable the defense so his men could barge in and start killing every single innocent innocent person. I advised the soldiers to quietly sneak in and listen. What he says will make their blood run cold. I can picture them dragging him to the nearest wall and emptying their magazines in his body. They stared at me with fear before they followed orders. They heard everything and dragged him and his companion kicking and screaming. They were forced to face the wall and the soldiers opened fire. The general asked why and they explained that he was a spy sent by ones who created the apocalypse because they want us all dead. The general applauded their brilliance and told them to be careful as they were going with unknowns. This could be a disadvantage so stay vigilant.
I introduced myself as Sasha. The soldiers introduced themselves. The Hispanic was Orlando. The Russians were Oleg, Vigo, Igor Yuri and Ivan. The Spaniard was Serena, Mia and Lola. The last were Scandinavian Kiska and Eska. I happily requested them to turn off their radar since it was attracting zombies. I explained how my friends learned that the hard way. So they switched it off and asked me to board the all terrain vehicle. I politely declined as I flew into the air. I guided them through the destroyed path till we reached a town with broken windows, crashed cars and dismembered bodies. I pointed out where the survivors were. I explained the problems were the aggressive ones and the smarties. The soldiers took their positions and some advanced to get the survivors out. I stayed in the air and saw there was another group not far away. I quietly snuck up behind and discovered they were here for specimen collection and recon. They were here because the general and the smiling politician had traded the lives of the soldiers in exchange for some sort of supersoldier serum. I quietly picked up an earpiece and gave it to the soldiers. They listened but didn't believe me. So I moved the civilians to the safe zone and moved forward.
As I was moving them to the safe zone I heard the soldiers intercepting the crooks. The soldiers had finished their ammunition and hoped these people would help. I moved quietly and watched as the crooks explained the deal. Kill the civilians and save the high ranks and take the soldiers who follow orders without question. All in exchange for their deaths. One of the soldiers saw me and mentioned that they have backup on the way. The others took a few minutes to understand it was me. The arrogant ones proudly mentioned setting traps to kill me. Unknown to them the smarties found them. One of them shot the nearest soldier and I ran faster than the bullet and pulled him out of the way. The bullet lodged itself in a utility poll. The others tried to figure out how they did this. One called out my name and I skipped into his field of vision because screaming and they fell to the floor. I used sign language to tell them to keep moving. I stopped screaming and ran to find the survivors. I realized it would be their word against ours so I told them to keep going as I figured out a way to arrest the crooks for treason. Kiska yelled, "You just saved our lives and the lives of everyone in our city. You are not going alone. We will go with you." I got there in time and found smarties were running in the crooks direction. I screamed again as these zombies fell down. I used hypnosis to force him to communicate with the traitors in the city. We recorded the entire conversation between both sides before the zombies managed to rise again. We left them to the munchers as we ran to find the survivors. They were safe and sound. Our vehicle was rigged so it blew up. I searched everywhere and found two working SUVs. Everyone boarded and drove as far as possible. We heard their screams but we ignored them as a rule. We saw giant bats and modified dogs not far away. I told them to step on it and they sped as fast their eyes could see straight. I reached the wall and ordered the soldier to open the gates.
The soldiers stormed out and they made sure everyone saw the truth. They saw how their general and the suit had sold them to save their skins. The survivors demanded punishment. The suit looked sour as he was dragged along with other traitors to the wall. They tried to protest but no one listened. To save their bullets they used knives. The soldiers slit their throat and dragged the knife from their throat to the groin. They were then thrown out of the city and the gates closed behind them. I went to the medical tent and helped the doctors. They were pleased to have a person who had knowledge in the medical field. I didn't tell them that I got my doctorate from a few blood drops. The soldiers watched me help the civilians and then I went to find my family. The vampires were inside since the sun was out and it was the time of the day they would be baked. So I used the bats to cover the sky till they reached the basement. The werewolves searched for answers. I connected with them telepathically and showed them everything. They roared in anger and almost lost control. I had to hold on to a sense of serenity and they calm down too. They changed back but weren't pleased with the administration. I told them that there will be a change of management. But right now we are going to stay here till sundown and then we are leaving for our underground home. Unless we can get the sector of the city all to ourselves so we can form a nocturnal city where both sides live peacefully. They explained how many have tried to bring peace but failed. I grinned, "That's because they didn't get rid of the instigator first. There are those who enjoy watching the world burn. If you want peace. Deal with them first. I plan to do that once we get out of here." The werewolves asked me how to identify the traitor. I simply closed my eyes and showed them the telltale signs.
They told me to stop wasting time and go for it. I did and then I approached the president to give me the demolished sector. Soren hypnotized him so he said yes. The werewolves asked politely, "Why are we getting the demolished sector?" I grinned, "If we take any other sector they will claim it as stolen land. But since we built it from the ground up. We get to keep the place all to ourselves. No argument no court case." The werewolves stared in awe. Once the sunset we all took off to our new home. The others watched as we built the place brick by brick. I used my ability to summon a stormcloud so it was midnight till there was a place for vampires to hide during the day. There was no superior and there was no inferior. Everyone worked side by side to build the city. The soldiers watched us work tirelessly till it was time to build a wall. I sent a message to the others and they came too. I extended my shield so this half of the city is protected at all times. We named the place Piedra de la Luna. The soldiers came forth renouncing their occupation. They expressed their displeasure at being treated like trash even though they work hard to save everyone. They have been betrayed enough so now they want to be with people who are actually making a difference. They were divided amongst the clans. Some became vampires and others were werewolves. The administration sent a message asking for my presence. I smiled, "Let's see what free hell we are facing today." Soren laughed, "I doubt it but let's see" The others wondered why the sudden request. When the request came that I should go with them alone I laughed. I asked nicely, "What deal did you make with outsiders now?"
I used hypnosis so he blurted out that he is to take me to the secret laboratory so I would be killed and dissected. The nocturnals roared in anger. The man realized that he had put his foot in his mouth. He backed away slowly and I was told not to go anywhere without protection. The man was given a message. If his boss wants to see the next sunrise he had better apologize and promise never to harass me again. He left and the president sent a message with his apologies. The scientists in question were warned to leave us alone. They wanted to study the evolution but they were told to focus on making the medicine that the doctors need. To make sure my safety was guaranteed. Both sides assigned someone from their clan or coven as part of my security. After the wall was constructed the rest of the houses were built. It looked like something out of poetry or a dream or something undescribably beautiful. I got a lovely cottage all to myself and it was beautiful. The peace was disturbed by the occasional break-in by the disgruntled civilians who wished the wall was torn down. We would gently escort them out as we form our own government. The leader of each clan or coven had a seat in the new council. The law was laid out. The leadership will switch every hundred. First will be a vampire ruler. Then a werewolf ruler and finally a hybrid ruler. We all developed a routine so we won't feel stagnant. Here's to the rest of our lives.
