542 Dead soldiers (1/2)

'Control yourself.'

Before leaving, Leo had given Quinn a tip, something that had worked for him. A way to control the urge and the hunger better, the key was to use his Qi. He closed his eyes for a few seconds, and started to focus.

Truth be told, Quinn wanted to learn a bit more from Leo about the use of Qi. The problem was things had been moving too fast for him to get any time, but Leo told him not to worry. Even without his help he was on the right path.

Everything that Quinn was struggling with, everyone who used Qi before was the same. Eventually the technique started to work, and his mind and body was no longer thinking about the blood in front of him.

'Kazz, it has to be her. Who else would kill them?'

However, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by the sounds of some groans that appeared to be coming from the side. When he turned around, he could see Paul standing. Only he wasn't his regular self.

”Rarhh”

He stood there, slightly hunched over, his two teeth had become longer and his eyes were a fierce red.

'Paul has consumed blood, but has yet to smell in person like this, and he doesn't have Qi control.'

The next second, Paul, out of control, started to rush forward towards Quinn. Paul was fast, but now nothing compared to what Quinn could do. The only thing Quinn was worried about was trying to hold himself back when knocking him out.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Paul suddenly fell to the ground. His body hit the cold metal surface and he began to be dragged back across the metal floor.

”Don't worry Quinn, I got this one.” Fex said. Opening up the blood from his container, he gave Paul a small amount that would satisfy his lust and control his hunger.

Fex too had smelt the blood, so he came out to investigate. He saw what was happening and took care of the situation quickly, tying Paul up with string.

The loud sound had woken up many, and eventually everyone had spilled out into the hallway to see what the whole commotion was about. Everyone was staying in separate rooms, but they had chosen to stay in the room's next to each other down the same hallway.

”What happened?” Layla asked, rubbing her eyes.

When Cia had seen the bodies, she opened her mouth as if she was about to scream, but Vorden was quick to act, placing his hand above her mouth.

”Nice.” Logan said, knowing he had saved them all from a huge wake up call.

Looking around, Quinn noticed that there were two people missing. ”Where's Kazz, and Peter?”

Quinn could see the eyes of the others and rushed to the door, only to see Peter back up against the wall, waiting for his limbs to heal. They had been crushed in several different places and quite badly as well.

”I'm sorry Quinn.” Peter said. ”It was Kazz. She took the remote from me.”

After deciding what to do yesterday, the remote along with another controller was given to Peter to get a hang of everything. After all he would be left with the ship for a long time, so they might as well get a head start on things like that.

”Why would she kill them, and where is she now?” Layla asked.

Then, the sound of the ramp being let down was heard. Since everyone was standing there, they knew someone else had activated the ship.

”Fex clear this up.” Quinn said. ”They're dead now so we might as well make use of their bodies. Store the blood, and feed some parts to Peter to help him recover.”

And Quinn was off to the back of the spaceship.

Everyone stood there for a while, not saying anything.

”Did Quinn really just say that?” Layla finally said.

”Yeah…” Vorden replied.

”Is it just me, or ever since the incident with the whole vampires, he has kinda become desensitized to all of this?” Layla asked.

”Yeah, but he's right.” Fex replied. ”At the end of the day, this is what we need to do. At least they will be used this way. The others started to walk away from the scene as they couldn't stand it for much longer, leaving only Fex and Paul alone to work on this gruesome task.

”Oh boy.” Fex said looking at the three bodies.

When Quinn had arrived, he could see Kazz walking up the ramp and it was already starting to close behind her. 'Why was she outside?'

Then, he saw the blood on her clothes and splattered on her face. She casually walked up to Quinn with a sweet smile. He knew what she had done. She had gone outside to deal with the rest of the soldiers who had come with them.

”Did you deal with the bodies inside?” Kazz said with a smile, as if she was expecting some type of praise.
