I Now Realize

Chapter 16: Stage Two; One By One (part 4 out of 9)

Jake couldn't stand it anymore. He formed into a Shadow Shear and looked at the scientists. "Open this door, please!"
"You're going to fight that thing!?" One of the scientists exclaimed, widening her eyes.
Jake scoffed in desperation and whined. "That's my girlfriend out there!" Jake started to panic. "Besides, it's my risk on my own will!" Jake begged.
The scientists quickly glanced at each other and nodded. One of the scientists open the door and Jake quickly exited the room, but stealthily walked, trying to calculate when he should attack the Blooder.
Alue noticed him, but didn't blow his cover and acted like she didn't notice him while she and the Blooder kept mauling each other.
Alue formed into a Dark-Blood, which was not half of the Blooder's size, but stronger. "Jake!"
Jake perked his ears, ready to do what he was asked.
"You see those test tubes?" Alue shouted as she grabbed a thick metallic pole.
Jake sprinted towards the Blooder and bit its back leg. He tilted his head in confusion. "What about it?"
Just when the Blooder was about to bite Jake at the neck, Alue smacked the Blooder by the face with the pole as if she hit a baseball.
Jake stared in awe of how it much force Alue used to make the Blooder fly about seven meters.
Alue was bleeding, but she quickly healed. She kept her eye on the Blooder, who was unconscious for now; while she responded to Jake's question. "I would like you to make a disease."
Jake narrowed his eyes. "A disease?"
"Yes, like the flu or HIV. Let's say this is a experiment I am planning. In fact, there should be a box of test tubes that have diseases in that green drawer over there."
Jake formed back into a human and quickly did what she asked.
Alue kept her distance in front of Jake; noticing the Blooder gaining conscious and slowly rising to its feet.
"Um...Jake?" Alue warned, gritting her teeth impatiently.
The Blooder gained conscious and observed Alue. It growled as it scraped it's dagger, crimson like claws on the metal floor, storing energy to rip out Alue's neck.
"Not again..." Alue sighed and got into a fighting stance. But something bothered her about this Blooder from the DNA tests. This seemed to somewhat remain normal. It acted a little tamed than the other one. That has vexed Alue since the second DNA test. Maybe she could figure out how this Blooder's mind works. She never felt...normal and this one. This Blooder made her feel uncomfortable; as if it had more than two eyes spying on her. Now was that chance to somewhat prove why...
The Blooder ran towards her, never breaking eye contact.
'Those eyes...' Alue thought. She remained emotionless, but never broke eye contact with the Blooder. She saw something in those eyes that she could never forget. Behind the behavior of the beast three times Alue's size, she saw mixed emotions in those cold, black and blue eyes.
Jake quickly brought the test tube to her and poured a little liquid on her arms.
Just when the Blooder was about to attack her, it skidded to a stop in front of her and Jake!
Jake's breathing was quick in panic, but he tried to calm down.
"Jake, get behind me." Alue calmly whispered, and Jake did what he was told.
Everyone in the concrete room couldn't believe what they were witnessing. They all stayed silent from so much shock, few of them fainted, too.
But the rest saw how the Blooder slowly approached Alue, sniffing her arms. It took a few steps back, shaking its head, and abhorring the scent on Alue's arms.
Alue made a clicking noise, catching its attention.
Jake observed and then poured a little bit of the liquid on his arms, also.
The Blooder tilted its head, examining Alue and Jake.
Jake started speaking in their code language. >The Blooder can't stand the smell of disease. Your plan worked!<
Alue stared back at the Blooder's eyes and hesitated to comment. >Yes and no. This one acts different, as if it's manipulated. This is more tame than the other one. This one...vexes me. Makes me feel uncomfortable.<
>Then what do we do with this one?< Jake asked.
>I want to test out something...< Alue cautiously approached the Blooder, slowly raising her arm.
The Blooder perked its ears and also slowly approached Alue.
Alue placed her hand on the Blooder's nose and petted it, noticing the Blooder's reaction was calm.
Then the scientists bursted from the concrete room, making the Blooder panic and feel threatened.
The Blooder made an ear piercing screech, feeling threatened.
