Capítulo 78: Ch 78:- Goodbye
"We've successfully retrieved Peter; we're coming up now," Logan said. Everything seemed to have fallen into place. Layla had entered the room and was now standing by Quinn's side, gazing at his body.
"How do you think he will react when he wakes up?" Layla asked.
"I think he'll be pissed, but he'll understand. He'll soon realize that if he were in our shoes, he would have done the same thing," Vorden said.
"Do you think this is right? Aren't we just sacrificing one life for another?" Layla asked.
"Don't forget, Peter had already been caught by the military. There was nothing we could do. This solves both our problems. They'll never find out about the vampires, and for a short while, it will get the vampires off our backs," Vorden said.
"I only hope that's true," Rayne said as he handed both flasks to Layla.
"Why? Do you think those vampires will come after us?" Vorden questioned.
"No, the vampires won't be coming anytime soon, but both Fex and Peter will be at a high risk factor. And so will we in the long run. You guys can already imagine what Quinn would do when he finds out what happened. He'll try to rescue Peter. In other words, sooner or later, we may have to go to the vampire world. So, I guess, be prepared, guys," Rayne said as he vanished with a puff of mist.
Looking at the two flasks, Layla looked at Vorden. "You go. I'll wait until he wakes up," Vorden said, pointing at Quinn.
Before leaving, she took one last look at Quinn. There was a good chance that his current life now would be hers. Always running away, but still. At least Quinn wasn't following anyone; he chose to do things his own way. With that, she ran out of the building.
Outside, the two boys had returned with Peter. They had given him one of the masks to wear for now, in case the other students outside would see him. Although it was pretty late now, and nearly all of the students had already returned to their rooms.
Layla came running out toward them. As they met on the platform a little away from Military Hotel 2, she could see the three boys in their masks, and she had to admit, it looked a little intimidating. The masks had a scary look to them in their designs and made them all appear as demons.
"Do you have the blood?" Fex asked.
"It's right here," Layla said, handing over the flask. She then quickly pulled out the second one and handed it to him as well. "Rayne said that he knows you mean well, but there is a chance others could come looking for it."
Fex wanted to say no. He wanted Quinn to at least have something to remember him by when he left. This was a gift, but at the same time, he would just be selfish otherwise if he insisted. It was true, if humans found the flask, there was a good chance he would be investigated. He took the two flasks and then grabbed Peter by the arm.
"Tell Quinn he doesn't have to worry about the vampires. There are no vampires stationed at Military Base Two, nor are there any at the other military bases now. Once I leave with Peter, he won't have anything to worry about for a good while. I don't have the time to say goodbye to all of you, and neither does Peter. I wish you all good luck in the future," Fex said as he grabbed Peter and took off into the distance. A cloud of mist seemed to encase the two of them, and when the mist had settled, they could no longer be seen.
Layla and Logan didn't even have the chance to say their final words.
"You know, when Fex first came, I kind of hated him, especially with everything he did to Erin," Layla said. "But he really was never a bad guy. I'm going to miss that idiot."
"It will certainly feel weird without him and my assistant. Good luck to you two as well," Logan said.
After parting ways from the others, Peter was taken to a safe, secluded place on the platform, away from the meeting point with Silver, as well as away from the others. The masks were now returned, and right now, Peter had transformed his face to look like Quinn. If anyone were to see the two of them, they would just think they were nothing more than two students having a laugh.
There was no chance for someone else to spot Quinn either, as Vorden was keeping an eye on him in the special training room.
"Do you hate me?" Fex asked.
"No," Peter replied instantly but didn't say anything more.
"I hate me," Fex said. "You know, I thought I might get attached to this place and hate to go back home. What I didn't expect was that I would get attached to the people rather than the place. I can't help but think that they all had to go through this just because of my selfish wants."
"The vampires would have come for Quinn anyway," Peter replied.
"What do you mean by that?" Fex asked. There was no reason to send any of the vampires to the military base. They had only come out to search for him.
Peter hadn't replied because he didn't know why the vampires would come after Quinn. All he knew was before, Quinn would often say that, it seemed like for some reason he was trying to get stronger as fast as possible, as if he was preparing for a threat ahead.
"Oh, I think I know," Fex said, giving his own answer and coming to his own conclusion as usual. It had to be something to do with the shadow powers. There was a good chance that Quinn's master was part of the old Punishers. If they were still around. If the others knew about this, they certainly would send people after him. Even if Quinn's master wasn't a Punisher, the others would want to get their hands on Quinn's power for themselves and find out which family was in charge of Quinn.
'I never did find out the truth behind him.' Fex was at first very curious but soon felt bad about trying to find details of what he would now call a friend. It just felt wrong and wasn't in his nature to do things like that.
"Here, take this," Fex said as he handed the flask over to Peter. After opening the lid, Peter gulped down the whole drink in one go and suddenly had a strange feeling in his chest.
*Ba bump*
It was something he hadn't felt in a while, and it was all a little alien to him.
"The sound... my heart, it's beating again!"
As the blood fell down his throat and reached his heart, a strange energy was felt all around. The blood was now being pumped from the heart all over the body. He could feel it moving through his veins. It felt as if his insides were on fire. For anyone else, it would be a painful experience, but for Peter, it was a joy. For it was the first time he had felt pain in a while.
"What is this?" Peter asked.
"It's your master's blood. Usually, there would be no reason to do this to a wight. Their strength is the fact that they can't feel pain. If anything, this makes you seem more human. Anyway, don't be too happy, the effects are temporary," Fex explained. "Our powers come from our blood, and right now, Quinn's power is inside you. Right now, the feeling, the smell, and even the look. With all this, I wouldn't be able to tell who I was looking at. As for powers, although your attacks and such will be enhanced, you still can't produce any blood attacks like we can.
"Also, I would urge you not to fight or test out any of your powers. At most, I see this lasting a week. Day by day, the power will slowly start to fade, and sooner or later, they will find out. If you start using that extra strength of yours, it will only go away quicker."
Fex then took a deep breath as he started to walk off to one of the military bases. "Leave all the talking to me."
Once again, Silver was waiting patiently on top of the roof of Building Four. In her hand was a rectangular device identical to the one in Logan's room. It was a portable teleporter.
She had trust that her brother would complete the task. Although he was a fool, he wasn't one to break promises. When he said he would finish it, she already knew he would get it done.
"You're here," she said, as two figures jumped up from the side.
"Oh," Silver replied, seeing that the person she had brought with them was still fully conscious.
"As you requested, this is the vampire who had made it illegal. I had been tailing him a while and explained everything that had happened. When I told him that a vampire knight was here to catch him, he immediately turned himself in, knowing there was no need to fight."
A vampire knight, a class designated just below the vampire leader. It was a unique role as each family was able to designate only two vampires in their family. They would mostly be in charge of running things or giving orders if the vampire leader wasn't present. Because of this, to be able to be elected into such a position, one would need strong power to keep the others in line.
Seeing the beautiful woman in front of him, Peter felt nothing. Yet, for some reason, that seemed to worry him even more. When he had first encountered Fex, his wild energy could be felt throughout; one could tell he was strong. But with Silver, it was calm; it was as if she wasn't even there yet clearly she stood right in front of him.
"And what about the illegal one?" she asked. "I have taken care of him and gotten rid of the body, but since he and this one are registered students, they will soon find out about them. I suggest we leave as soon as possible."
Silver walked over to Fex slowly; the sound of her boots hitting the floor was heard. Everything had been prepared for this moment, and he had answered perfectly; now he just needed her to believe him. However, he was too afraid and didn't want to look up for even a second.
Suddenly, he felt a hand on his hair. Silver ruffled it up and gave it a little pat. "You have done well, little brother. I will tell the family of your good deeds here, and they shall lighten the punishment."
The square portal device was placed on the ground, and a unique digital number was input. The contraption started to open itself up slowly, piece by piece, until it had finally connected.
Fex quickly tied up Peter's hands behind his back with his string ability and pulled him along.
'Goodbye, everyone,' he said in his head as he stepped through the portal, with Peter following from behind. Soon after, Silver threw a small circular ball on the floor and stepped through herself.
The small circular ball started to blink red and made a beeping sound. The blinking, along with the sound, started to get faster until *BANG.
The ball exploded, destroying everything in a two-meter radius, including the portal. No one would be able to follow their traces to the Vampire's home.
*Whistle*
"That is one hell of a vampire. Her aura, her attitude, her figure... everything was perfect. Damn, I never really thought I would see a vampire knight," Rayne said as his invisibility wore off, revealing his slithering school uniform.
"Now it's time to initiate Phase II of the plan," Rayne said as he once again turned invisible, leaving the place once again lonely and lifeless.
