I was told to do an interview because I was awoken before my time. I had make myself look like I am the creature from everyone's nightmare. The interviewer saw me and screamed out loud. The council member explained that I just woke up. Since I wasn't fed properly I would resemble this. She apologised profusely as I stared at her scandalised. She tried to speak and I asked her what nefarious intentions convinced her to disturb my sleep. I am woken when it is my turn to rule. This was the werewolves turn. Which people trying to create discord. They are my family and I don't give crap what they look like. If anyone hurts them they hurt me. I will exact irrefutable vengeance on them. The Nocturnals are my family. To be clear I mean both vampire and werewolves. They gave me hope after my whole world was ripped to shreds. I would chose to die protecting them than chose to abandon them for some stupid crusade. I have spent five hundred years trying to make sure they stay a family. I am not choosing anyone or anything over them. Both the vampires and werewolves have shown me humility and kindness. I am not repaying that by ditching them.
The council member was laughing as the reporter found her voice. She asked me politely if I would consider departing from the Nocturnals to create my own faction of hybrids. I asked her if she was deaf. I just said that the Nocturnals are my family. I am not separating from them for anything. There is no amount of wealth is great enough that anyone can offer to convince me to leave them. They have quirks like everyone else. They have feelings like everyone and I love them with all my heart. For me leaving them is equal to death. The council started yelling at the reporter for her disrespectful question. It took a few more minutes before everyone calmed down. I asked her if she had any more ridiculous questions. I am going back to sleep. I will not be disturbed till I am summoned by the council as the next ruler. Until then goodnight. She asked me where I was. I stared at her like she has lost her marbles, "I don't know. So I bid you Goodnight." I raised a boney finger and waved at Roland. I asked nicely as though I was talking to a loved one, "Severe the connection. I am very tired" The werewolf gave a grunt as he ended the connection ended.
The reporter asked the council to put me back on. She wanted to know what plans I would have had if I chose to leave the Nocturnals. The council member asked her if she had a hearing problem. She stood tall as she explained that she heard everything I said. She just wanted to know if there was a plan B. The council started at her like she had slapped him. She realized her mistake and apologised. She was told that I am not abandoning family for anything. So why would there be a plan B to begin with. I chose family first so what possessed her to say such atrocities. She apologised and asked if they could connect with me so she can apologise. I came back in to view and made sure not one was nearby. I coughed several times and asked her if she had come to her senses. She apologised and I forgave her. I told the nearest wolf to cut transmission since I didn't want them to find me and disturb me and mine. She asked me if I was feeling ok. I coughed several times again. She flinched, "Can Nocturnals cough?" I answered that I used to be sick before I became this. The illness is dormant but once I am awakened I go through several pangs of discomfort before I am beautiful again.
The werewolf council woman Isadora smiled, "You are beautiful even now. Some people are just narrow minded." I waved my hand, "If I wasn't in this mummy form I would be blushing red." She chuckled as she asked if the guards could put me back to sleep. The reporter asked me if I really don't know where I was. I smiled, "I was woken forcefully. I am still trying to get my bearings. My whereabouts is the least of my concerns. All I know is that I am surrounded by my loved ones. I am safe and sound. My whereabouts could be the international space station for all I care. My location is redacted so if you will kindly excuse me" She asked me how long it would take to look less like the version she was seeing. I stared at her incredulously, "A day and a half to be clear. I will injected with multiple needles. Each one is supplemented with blood bags and special IVs. Rest helps a little bit. I have a question. Didn't you advocate the separation of my family? Now that they have created a brand new problems. Are you trying to blame me? Let me clear Honey. I chose to stay with my family the Nocturnals all day and night everyday and twice on Friday."
The council ordered the Ursang to switch off now. The connection was severed and the reporter asked if she was asking classified information. The council made it clear that the awakening ceremony off limits to outsiders. Since the Nocturnals is a separate sovereign nation. The rules are none of their business. They have been trying very hard to make the Nocturnals look bad. The newer hybrids may have foolish but the rest of them are united. They need to get a life. She made it clear that the Nocturnals are secretive and that is a problem. She wants to make sure the public is made aware. She is sorry that she was a strong supporter of the emancipation. But she does not have to apologise for trying to get answers from me. She believes I know exactly where I am. She was told if she wants to do dishonest reporting then try a different news channel. She is not allowed to ask questions that won't help the public. She asks what if the public had to wake me up. The council made it clear that they will not find out about the ceremony. Since he had witnessed a few awakening ceremonies. He knows first hand the woken are groggy and will have no clue where they are. The only they know is they are with people who will protect them at all costs.
She seems satisfied. So she wanted to know what was in the IVs. She was told to mind her own business. The interview ended abruptly. I shook my head as the equipment was quickly dismantled. We switched helixes and we took off back to the Frore vampires. The other helix made sure to stay visible whilst ours became invisible. We reached our destination and the vampires were smiling. The reporter relinked with the Nocturnals. She was offended by their rash behaviour. Isadora was offended that she advertised a video created to encourage people to find me. It was called Hybrid Hunt. The players were given all sorts of equipment and a map to find me. Mostly they find decoys. So far none has been able to find me. The gamer uses my name and exact physical appearance. This is grounds for lawsuit. They are going sue the game maker and the reporter. She tried to deflect it but a recording was shown of her playing the game. A day later it was recalled and the gamer was warned not to do it again. He said he did it because he was trying to come with an original idea. This was trending so he tried it. The Nocturnals sent a computer virus which deleted the game.
They discovered another video game called Barrage. Where the players had to get past different types of zombies and an army of Nocturnals to reach me. All before they had finished the construction of the wall. It was set during the height of the zombies apocalypse. There was every variety of zombies present and accounted for. For normal zombies to intelligent ones to exploding ones. The view from the high ground shows that the Nocturnals zone as a zombie free. There was an invisible barrier that they didn't cross. They didn't move towards the palace only because of me. It shows a brief clip of my demonstration. It was exaggerated. But the point was clear. It was designed to encourage creative thinking. Because what works once don't work the second time. A new virus was sent to delete this game as well. People protested but it was overstepping so they had to back away. I remembered the comic books made without my consent. The Protector with it's preposterous back story. As I shook my head as recalled how I cleverly remove them off the shelves. Roland wanted to see. Everyone saw it and teams were sent to find and destroy them.
