Blood Moon

Chapter 5:Love hurts

The music was still playing and villagers were dancing and enjoying themselves, blissfully unaware of the potential danger and the heated discussions which were taking place. Lady Georgina, Lady Catherine and Alexandru were still discussing their concerns. The fact was that even a single true blood would cause serious issues for even a mid-sized group of Protectors. If the true blood continued to feed it could turn to full strength at almost any time, there's no time duration, no warning, the full turn just comes, and when it does their powers are plenty.

"I'm hurt that you do not trust my judgement," said Alexandru

"I trust you, we trust you. But the matter here is not trust, it's the danger you have brought here. I would have hoped that you would have been more sensible when it came to keeping a true blood as a prisoner. It's irrelevant whether he has fully transitioned or not" Georgina was very worried, rightly so.

For decades there were carefully placed true blood traps around the village and preventative countermeasures to at least slow down any true blood who might try and attack, the traps would at least give the village some warning. Little Runnington had been true blood-free for the last 45 years.

"We should kill him, it, whatever it is...now. It's the only way we can be safe" said Catherine.

"My ladies, I value both of your opinions. But I will keep him alive and as a prisoner. Don't worry he is under my control, and not yet turned. Nothing will happen." assured Alexandru.

"Now I suggest that we enjoy the night,  feed him and we will leave in the morning. I hope we will all still be friends"  expressed Alexandru

"I hope we will all still be alive" muttered Catherine under her breath.

Alexandru walked off to join the others to prepare for the evening circus performance.

"We should kill him now," said Catherine

"I fear you are correct dear sister but how??? I am not sure," replied Georgina.

"We can't let him feed, if we kill him
Now he will be weak. Are we sure that these port authority soldiers are guilty?" asked Georgina

"What do you mean?" quizzed Catherine.

"Is this just a ploy, a cover-up so we will assist them in the feeding of the true blood? What can we do anyway, no blood moon no full powers!" said Georgina.

"We are strong sister, stronger than the vampires" enthused Catherine

"Yes we are, but without the blood moon we lack our agility, they can move quicker" Georgina was worried. Although at the moment the true blood was securely locked up, she had heard the tales told how a single true blood could enslave humans in a small town with ease.

Georgina & Catherine walked over towards the carriage where the true blood was being kept. They approached and could see one of the protectors lying face down on the ground, as they neared the protector's head raised, they began to move their lips attempting to speak when suddenly out of the shadows appeared an unknown female, her shiny black leather boot stomping down and crushing their skull.

Catherine sprinted over to attack the stranger, she could outrun any other human but without her enhanced speed, she was far too slow for a true blood. Catherine neared her target and went to strike the woman with her powerful fist, swinging her punch she missed! In a blink of an eye, the woman had moved from her position, and Catherine fell to the ground. Before she could get up the mystery woman grabbed her by the ankles picking her up and threw her through the air. Catherine landed nearly 20 feet away on the ground, taking a while to get to her feet. Georgina looked for the unknown woman but she was gone, she made her way over to Catherine. They looked at each other.

"Where did she go" asked Catherine as she got to her feet.

"She disappeared," said Georgina.

They then heard the noise of steel groaning and both followed the noise back to the container where the true blood was being kept.

"Goodness me she must be a true blood" said Georgina as they both witnessed the unknown woman punching and peeling back the layers of steel off the secure carriage. Georgina moved in closer to the woman. She put her strong arm around the neck of the stranger tightening her grip. Within an instant the stranger's hand removed Georgina's vice-like grip with ease, the woman turned to face Georgina and grabbed her by the throat. She lifted Georgina's muscular physique off the ground, her feet dangling.

"I don't want to hurt you. Don't make me" said the stranger.

Nobody had ever lifted Georgina off the ground, especially with one hand, nor had she felt so weak being overpowered despite using her tremendous strength. The woman let go of Georgina. She steadied herself and watched still in slight shock after being overpowered, the woman continued to rip the layers of the carriage apart. Andrei the strongman who was a Protector had come over after hearing the noise of the carriage being ripped apart. Andrei possessed great physical strength, although he was weaker than Georgina & Catherine,

"Andrei it is a true blood..." yelled Georgina & Catherine. Andrei walked over with caution towards the woman. Her strength was obvious as he neared the layers of lead and steel that were peeled back, crushed and torn where she was ripping her way into the carriage to get to the other true blood. Andrei used his super speed to launch an attack, but her reactions as a true blood were quicker. She anticipated his move and stepped aside causing Andrei to charge at thin air.

"There she is," said yelled Catherine.

"I don't have time for interruptions," said the true-blood female. Using her super speed she moved behind Andrei. The strongman was a large 6ft 8 tall 370 lbs mass. Her leg came up and kicked him in the right thigh so hard that she broke and smashed his leg bone. He fell to the ground in pain, he never gave up and attempted to stand up. Again the unknown true blood moved so quickly using one foot to pin his shoulder to the ground. Bending down she grabbed his head, she looked directly at Catherine and Grorgina making direct eye contact. Andrei screamed in pain as her grip tightened. She started to pull his head upwards whilst still pinning him down, his scream became even more desperate, and his head suddenly and violently twisted to the left and then right with great speed breaking his neck. A slight smile came to her face as she saw the pain in Catherine's eyes. Still looking into their eyes she pulled his head clean off his body. Holding his head above her she allowed the blood to drop into her mouth.

"Andrei" shrieked Catherine

"Leave me....and go," she said as she threw his head to their feet. It was the first time Catherine & Georgina had got a decent look at the unknown true blood. Her physique was athletic, toned and powerful.

Georgina was frightened enough by the thought of one true blood, but two would be almost unstoppable.
