Head lowering, first from apparent sadness, then with a purpose the one called Legion spoke to Julias, whispering just loud enough for his mortal mind to grasp.
" I promised Nemesis she wouldn't be alone anymore. She is the only person who can truely keep me caged. If you wish to see me again to speak with me like this once more, keep my promise to Nemesis...she will be more inclined to let me out if she had someone to talk to. I hope to see you again soon...Hyde. "
As if the weight of a hundred bodies now lay upon him her words sunk into Julias. As the footsteps drew ever nearer the realization slowly struck him; this was it, the end, of sorts. Despite their ever so brief meeting he felt as if he now lay before the grave of a treasured friend, if he had ever had such a thing. For in a way she would be evermore dead. He could never speak with her again, both from the constraints of her human mind, and the soon to be more vigilant care of the guards. He could never even look at her again, never give any sign that she held interest to him, for fear of drawing the attention of the other surgeons; as they would rip her to shreds in search of his secrets, if not just to spite him. She would have to be dead to him, or she would become such in flesh rather than just in spirit.
Caught in the tangles of his own mind Julias hardly noticed the beefy hands clutching his shoulders, or the ones dragging him away, or the ones pushing him back from the mighty creature before him. He didn’t see more guards rush past him to quell the wrath of Legion. He never heard the screams behind him as Legion took out her rage on the mortals before her. He didn’t remember passing Vittoria and asking her if she’d talk to Nemesis more often. He never saw the doors to his lab as he passed through them. Julias never remembered putting on his gloves, nor taking the first cut, or the second, or the third, or severing the heart of the bloodied vampire carcass before him. He didn’t remember any of it, all he saw, all he thought of, and all he could later remember was the werewolves. The werewolves in his head, hunting people, charging down the streets, howling to the moon, tearing apart their prey; his mind had finally found its new obsession, the new task, the new purpose for which he was to live his life for the time to come.
It could have been mere seconds, it could have been hours, but eventually the possessed surgeon broke the chokehold of his obsessed mind and took in the scene before him. Across his surgery table, if it ever really could have been called that, lay the decimated remains of a vampire. Blood lay everywhere, seemingly random bones and tissues lay sliced in half, tendons were strewn across the floor, and sitting in the middle of it all were the perfectly organized vital organs, capsuled and preserved as if during his most meticulous of moments. Still trying to recover his bearings Julias gathered all the “products” of his little trance and stowed them away, to be used at a later time. Scowling at the carnage before him Julias slammed open the doors to his workroom and grabbed the first two guards in sight, shoving them into the blooding chamber.
“Clean that up. And get me a new werewolf.”
Too shocked to argue the stunned pair took in the bloodbath before them.
