Rachel and Kindra

Kindra and I were making our way through the remains of the base, avoiding the troops that were swarming around the base. We had just rounded a corner and headed into an area I actually recognized when Kindra stopped and started shivering in fright.

"He's almost here," Kindra's expression was total terror. She went invisible and I could feel her grab onto my arm and try to pull me.

"That bad man?" I asked, my question was answered when I heard a crash and turned to see a man standing there looking directly at the invisible person holding my arm.

I picked her up and turned invisible myself, it was light enough to see, yet dark enough to hide. He couldn't see me, I could tell that much but, he didn't look like he cared. Suddenly he turned into a large monster and started swinging around the area where I was, trying not to hit Kindra but hit me.

I set Kindra down and yelled, "Run Kindra run!"

I turned and saw a large cat dart past me after her. I tried to chase but was hit by a random fist. I flew into a rock and received a large gash on my left side, just below my ribs. I couldn't move very well, but he would have seen my blood and would be able to hit me if I didn't get out of the way. I teleported across the room and he looked around for a moment before he grinned.

"I can smell your blood," He taunted as he walked right towards me. "You can't hide forever."

He was right, I couldn't stay invisible any longer.

*To Kindra*

Why was mommy chasing me? She shouldn't be helping that guy. Kindra was exceptionally quick and agile for her size, even counting the fact she had magic. Cali jumped in front of me and changed into a human.

"Come with me Kindra," She tempted. "Look I have powers now too. You can be with me and learn from me now. I'm your mother and I know best for you."

It didn't even tempt me for a second. I told her, "No, you work for Uncle Alex and he's evil. I know all about all of his plans for us. You wouldn't follow him if you knew even half of them."

"If you won't come the easy way I'll just have to catch you and make you come. You'll see the light eventually," Cali reasoned. She changed into a hybrid, somewhere between human and cat. She would be able to talk and would have claws, but, of course, wouldn't have to use them on Kindra.

Cali began chasing Kindra around the facility, trying to wear Kindra out.

*Back to Rachel*

He walked over and prepared to smash me and kill me when part of the wall broke off and slammed into his body. Jared stepped through the opening.

He smiled down at me, "Sorry I'm late."

The creature didn't give up so easily. He swung at Jared, but Jared easily avoided it and began fighting the creature. After a few moments there was a tremendous noise and Jared fell back. The creature was what had emitted the sound waves that had toppled the base.

Jared was weak, he must have gotten in a fight before this one, I could tell he had done something fairly impressive.

Jared was trying to fight but the room worked great for the sound waves. Suddenly everything seemed to slow down and I thought I saw a woman that looked like Kindra standing in the middle of the room.

*Back to Kindra*

I was trying to avoid Cali when I found a small Jewl sitting on the ground, there was a hole in the roof and it must have toppled down from up there. I picked it and I felt it's purpose. Daddy was in trouble!

"Daddy!" I screamed and could feel the walls tremble and the whole world slowed down.

I could feel my powers magnified and I appeared in the room with daddy and my true mommy inside. They all turned and looked at me. I glared at the creature. He began to move towards me.

I didn't notice it but I had unintentionally appeared in the room at my mental age instead of physical age. The creature began reaching for me.

"No," I said calmly. "You will no longer have power to see me or anyone else, ever again. Only one person will you be able to see. Your twisted and corrupt and evil master. His image will haunt your mind and only once he has finally died will you be free. Go to him and tell him that we are not as simple as he thinks we are. We are not the pathetic mongrels he would believe. Our human blood makes us far stronger than anything he can ever attain for the one power that completely eludes him, we have mastered."

The beast scurried from the room and I knew it wouldn't go to Alex, because I hadn't told it to. I told it to go to it's master.

*Cali*

Kindra was distracted doing something and I took it as my opportunity to act. I grabbed her and didn't notice the Jewl go tumbling to the ground as I carried her away.

*Jared*

I tore off part of my shirt to help Rachel's wound. She grabbed me by the arm, "I'll be fine now go get Kindra, Cali is after her."

I growled and took off running. I already knew I wouldn't make it in time. Kindra had told me where to go but now that I knew Cali had been after her I knew it wouldn't be what I thought it was. I found a small Jewl on the ground where she had told me to look and I picked it up. The blood memory flooded my mind and I remembered what this was. I created a necklace that would break my neck before it broke and attached the Jewl and put it around my neck and under my shirt. As long as I didn't use the power I gained it would be hidden from sight.

I made my way back to Rachel and together we left the base.
