Thread: The Fate of the world is in our hands (Max and I)

As much as this criminal tried to hide his injury, Lucia could smell his pain. Literally. When human's were in pain they released certain chemicals and her nose was sensitive enough to pick it up. She felt bad because she knew that he had gotten that injury from her. Maybe there was something she could do to help him. Well, it was kind of disgusting and she wasn't sure if he would agree. The scientists apparently had kept this a secret, and even Evelynn probably didn't know. However, her blood was an elixir to humans that would heal their aches and pains. She didn't know the specifics of how it worked. Pure demon blood simply corrupted and killed humans, but the blood of a hybrid would heal nearly any sickness, ailment, or injury. So, being as how Lucia was the only hybrid not out fighting demons...she was basically used as the main source of most 'medicine' that was given to the injured or sick. It sucked though, drinking her own blood would do nothing for her. So while she could heal others she was shit out of luck if she ever got hurt herself. Hmm. She'd have to think about this more before she suggested it. As much as she enjoyed her new company after being imprisoned for all those months, she was going to take care of herself first and foremost. Besides, she knew that once her blood was extracted, they had to dilute it and make it appear less like blood so no one would catch onto their secret. A single vial of her blood could make ten vials of potions. What would happen if she gave someone too much? Evelynn said nothing even as this man talked to her. She just kept her hand on the hilt of her sword just in case he tried to make a run for it. Though, Lucia had a point. He had been hunted down by her once, more than likely he would not risk that again. Still, she became even more distrusting of him as he talked sweetly to her. Evelynn never trusted the words of men. She had been hit on many times, and each one she turned down because she knew what they really wanted. She could see it in their eyes every time the looked at her. Being a high ranking officer, she was quite famous at EHS and most men thought that she would be the perfect woman to breed with. While the population was monitored heavily within settlement walls to make sure they all had food and spaces for people to live, every spring they would tally up any deaths that happened and depending on that number they would allow the same number of healthy strong women to conceive. Evelynn had expressed her firm disinterest in being one of those women every single year. Though the number of fertile women at EHS who could have healthy children wasn't very high. So each time she kept being pressured, and each time she had many suitors who tried to convince her along with the council. This past spring was particularly annoying, and she even had someone try to force themselves on her. Which maybe would have worked if she hadn't been on the shot. Each woman was required to be on birth control unless they were chosen for breeding. The fact that she easily bested him in combat also prevented him from being successful. Evelynn was truly the pinnacle of strength and the perfect candidate both appearance and gene wise to contribute to the continuation of the human race. So, one could only understand her irritation when this man tried to sweet talk her. Lucia on the other hand just ate it all up from what Evelynn could tell. Eventually they found themselves in the slums of the Metro. The living conditions were absolutely horrid from what the ex soldier could tell. Though, some people preferred this over traveling to find a better place to live. This only served as more motivation for the Evelynn. She wanted to put a stop to all this. She just needed help. Finally they seemed to have reached their destination. Evelynn had the aura of a authoritative figure and was dressed as such. So she got the most uneasy looks. Lucia..well Lucia was just different and people could pick up on it almost right away. Immediately Evelynn knew that they were criminals just like this man. Even though she felt sorry for them, she was still uneasy about being in a thieves guild being formerly a woman of the law. They followed him to the larger work shop area, and Lucia immediately sat on the table. Oh my god. I'm fucking tired! She whined as she kicked her boots off and rubbed her feet. Ever since her little chase she felt fatigued. Maybe she overdid it a little. It's...nice to make your acquaintance Henri. I am Evelynn Delacroix and that rowdy girl over there is Lucia Belarose. Evelynn introduced formally despite him already catching their names. Lucia needs clothes and a weapon. I need ammunition and rations for our journey. Maybe some healing salves or bandages for first aid kits. Anything that would help for traveling that you can spare would be helpful. Evelynn told him.
