Chapter 1134 - Defeated by fear (1/2)
Right behind Quinn, everyone was watching him waiting to see what he would do. It was an important moment, but they trusted Quinn with whatever decision he was about to make.
At the same time, Bonny and Void were hot on the group's heels, filming every moment of what was happening. So far, Quinn had been calm enough to not kill anyone on board the ship.
'Will he also let Innu go, even after attempting to kill us all. Honestly, if it wasn't for Logan and Quinn back there, me and Void would have died as well!'
Quinn was furious, he could have snapped Innu's neck there in front of everyone, and he was angry enough to kill everyone involved as well, but he also knew that somewhere deep down, the soldiers were just scared and felt like this was the right thing to do in their minds.
However, a certain person had told them to pull the trigger, amplifying the fear of them all, and that was Innu himself.
With him being filmed, Quinn had to be careful how he acted. He couldn't just act on rage. Sure he could ask Bonny and Void to delete this part of the video since it wasn't broadcasted live. They would probably comply as well, but then there would be questions.
Either way, people would find out about what happened today, and if they only had footage of the first half, then rumours would start to spread. Often rumours were worse than the actual truth.
'What do I do with him! I can't just let him go free!' Quinn thought, his eyes still glowing red. The anger and fear were being directed to Innu. No words had been spoken, so he wasn't silent due to the influence. Innu knew that if he made a wrong move or tried to escape, he would be finished off in a second.
'Do I let Oscar deal with him, but we don't even know if Oscar will wake up again? I could use his body, then we wouldn't need to hunt for another humanoid beast. This person is trash and useless anyway, but that would mean Shiro would have to get involved. I wouldn't want to put Shiro through that.'
In the end, Quinn thought it might be best to allow Oscar to deal with this one if he was awake, but Quinn looked into Innu's eyes one more time, and he could tell. The hatred in his eyes was the same way people felt towards the V and how Quinn felt towards those who had bullied him for a long time.
Inuu wouldn't give up here. He would continue to fight. For some reason, he truly hated vampires.
”You really hate us that much?” Quinn asked as he walked over to Innu, and whispered telling him to kneel. Due to them making eye contact, the influence skill was a lot more powerful, and Innu couldn't fight it, falling to his knees.
At this point, Innu knew that perhaps his time was up.
”I'll kill-”
”Shut up!” Quinn said as he walked over and leant down to eye level with Innu. At the same time, he made sure to use his body to block the camera. Quinn had then cut the tip of his finger and shoved it quickly into Innu's mouth before the camera could see anything. Then just before leaving, he stabbed the top of Innu's t_h_i_g_h with his clawed hands, falling to the ground. Not a large enough wound to kill him.

”Let's see what you are like when you become the thing that you have grown to hate,” Quinn whispered.
Innu's eyes opened wide, and he wanted to shout, to say something but the order from before had kept it shut.
”I wondered why you hated us so much,” Quinn said out loud, standing up and making it clear so everyone could hear him, including the camera. ”Oscar and Owen have both claimed that the Cursed faction, although we are V, we are on your side. So why did you suddenly attack us? Why did you disobey Oscar's order?”
While Quinn was saying all of this, something strange was happening to Inuu's body. He could feel it changing inside him as he spoke. The pain was real, but the influence skill was still working, and his mouth refused to open.
”However, he didn't tell you one thing, that us V who are on your side can tell if there is another one among us. Of course, we have been open in telling everyone who we are. Now that we have come here, I have come to realise that the reason you so badly wanted to make out why you were against the V, is because you are one yourself. You were trying to fool everyone!” Quinn said.
