Cherreads

Chapter 175 - Chapter 18

I first followed a man in a lab coat then a military outfit. Then finally a butler's uniform. He took me straight to the creep. The man was in a wheelchair. He had a feeding tube sticking out of his nose. His eyes were sunken. His skin was pallid. He looked like he had one foot just above his grave. A voice in my head told me to use hypnosis. Then told me to use mental link to turn him into a vegetable. I focused and realised it was Irene's voice. I thought out loud, "Shut up. I am better than that." The voice grew dimmer but was still persistent. I snarled and the old man looked everywhere hoping to find who it was. The voice in my head disappeared. But he knows he is not alone. He walks out of the room and I follow him. He shuts the door and pressed a button. The room we were in got flooded with gas. I held my breath and as he coughed slightly. He removed the tube and placed an oxygen mask over his face. I simply slashed it and he jumped off his seat. He finally hit the purge button to neutralise the gas. I kept holding my breath till the air was clear. I bashed his skull on to the wall and walked out. A few paces later I heard a noise.

I heard people make bets to see who survives. The vampires were considered weak because they can't stand daylight but they had heard stories about the nightraiders. So some were skeptical. One man called out, "Gentleman this is what we have been waiting for. Let us see who is the superior amongst them truly are." I looked into the room and I saw a projector showing Sam angrily leading the werewolf army from the left and Soren was leading the vampire army from the right. Both were going to meet in the middle to kill each other. I showed up and shrieked. They all slid to the floor and had seizures. I dragged the nearest traitor to a closet and bit him. I had to connect with everyone even though we were miles away. They got to see how they were manipulated into this fight. I thought out loud, "Help me defend the honor of my family" the Japanese ones dropped their weapons and bowed to show respect. The others dropped their weapons and hugged each other. It was a beautiful sight to behold.

I heard the people who betting on my family groan in disappointment. My security walked in and told me that the other traitors had escaped. But not before they bugged their transport. I dropped the woman and walked away. Oleg grabbed her and Roland ripped out her throat. She was dazed so she didn't feel a thing. I had a list of people to get. Once I have them I am going to take them to a remote place where they will be hunted for sport. The others in my head boarded their respective vehicles and took off. Serena sent them the new coordinates. They landed in a private residence thinking they are safe. The vampires require face to face to hypnotize. Thankfully I don't. So I just reached the compound and changed my looks. I pretended to be the traitor. An actual person answered instead of an AI. I hypnotized him to open the door. He didn't hesitate. The door popped open.

Oleg stared at me as did all the werewolves. I have a known no hypnosis policy. The trauma of the first time was extensive. So for me to ignore my fear made them rethink their life choices. The door opened and I turned beast and held the door open as they ran in to get the crooks. They were dragged out the vampires bit everyone of them. While mine induces pleasure theirs induces pain. If there is enough venom the change happens but if a person gets more than the recommended dose then it no longer changes the person but tortures them. The entire trip they were screaming. I finally had enough and told them to shut up or I will give them something to scream about. The werewolves laughed as they tried to be quiet but the pain in as unbearable they kept screaming. When we landed I picked one up and threw him like I was throwing out the garbage bags during spring cleaning.

There was one person he was grinning as he was thrown. His injuries healed quickly and I laughed. He froze and fear. I clawed his arm and spat on the injury. The wound didn't heal. He started screaming in pain. I walked off and Roland asked nicely, "What did you give him" I casually explained, "My saliva contains a substance called Draculine which thins the blood and stops the wound from healing so I can feed without complications. It also contains something else that makes the bite less painful. I discovered after separating the various chemical compounds in my saliva. That an unknown substance in it can lead to excessive itching." I looked up to see their faces. I don't know why but I burst out laughing. The others came to humbly request permission to join me in the hunt. Their exact words, "We didn't believe you when you told us the humans were the guilty ones. We have dishonored ourselves for breaking the treaty. We have reinstate the treaty. But to regain our honor we would like to join you in this hunt" I bowed politely and accepted their request.

I did a head count. There were fifteen of them. I made sure everyone memorized their faces before carving their arm. I pointed at the river on the far side. I told them if they cross it they are free. We will chase them once they reach the rocks it they stop we will still hunt them. There is no time limit. If they reached the destination. They are free. I made sure everyone recognised their faces before setting them free. I told my family to give them a head start. They waited till the humans went past the rocks. I simply stepped aside. They ran harder than they did when they were about to rip each others throats out. I didn't like the memory. I focused to make sure they didn't harm anyone else. The link made sure they didn't get distracted. The humans assumed that rubbing their blood on trees would help distract us. I had linked with my family. So any sort of distraction they had was evaporated. They got see the targets. I made it clear the blood was spilt so they would go into feeding frenzy. They have to stay focused. They stayed on target as they grabbed them one by one. By sundown all of them were captured. I looked up to see a dozen drones above us. It was recording and broadcasting. After the hunt both sides destroyed the drones and made sure any surveillance equipment was made inert.

They agreed the next attempt to restart the war would be to attack me. Since I am symbol of peace and I stopped the fighting. They were worried that I might get kidnapped. Then I happily changed my looks. My appearance changed to Irene. I spoke in Ukrainian and Oleg's face darkened as did the rest of my security. I changed to Sonja and their faces didn't lightened. I changed to mom and I saw a sad smile. I explained that I can change my look to appear like anyone I have seen on to extent of my imagination. The council grinned and I excused myself. I asked Oleg why he was angry when he saw Irene and Sonja. He explained they are the reason I was terrified of using hypnosis. They had convinced me to snap his neck instead making him forget about everything or convincing him to stay as still as a statue or forcing him not to hurt us. He was angry because of how helpless I was. My fear and constant anxiety rubbed them the wrong way. The root cause of my depression is because I had to betray my principles. He hates her very much and so does everyone else. Apparently she was in my head the entire time. She would advice me to use hypnosis to crack their necks like chicken but I would resist until I finally gave in. She was trying to reason that it was the only way. At one point they heard me say Shut up Irene. Oleg was proud of me. I was sad that I used it. I wished my family would never fight again. The guys grabbed a vehicle and asked permission to take me away.
