Chapter 158 - Black Outsider

"Who kissed who?!" a voice came behind, it was Dale.

Josh and Genesis pulled away from each other as they faced him.

"Uh oh" Josh exclaimed as he freezes.

He gave Genesis a look not to talk but the dude just said it anyway.

"The human girl kissed me, so I asked Josh to explain it for me" he said so casually with a shrug.

Dale saw red as he came at Genesis giving him a hard punch on his cheek. 

Josh eyes widen in shock at his action, unable to act or think.

Genesis bent head faced Dale not taking his eyes off Dale, as he swiftly wipes the blood off his cheek.

"You kissed Heather huh?" he hissed pissed, fury burning inside him just by the thought of it.

"Why? Does she belong to you or something?" he states carelessly.

Dale growled coming at Genesis once more ready to beat him to a pulp, but instantly a shadow surges out his back, in a crocket shape, pinning his wrist to the ground, blood gushing out, Dale gave a ear piercing scream of pain, alerting the others around as they gasp in shock at the scene.

"STOP IT YOU'RE HURTING HIM!" Josh shouts in horror pushing Genesis, the impact making the shadow get off piercing Dale's hand to retreat.

Dale wailing on the ground holding his right hand, all in a bloody mess, Josh rushed to his side applying pressure on the hand, his blood staining his clothes.

Genesis just stood immobile watching the scene.

Heather rushed forward holding Dale steady, stunned at what was happening.

"Human gir-"

"DON'T!" she snaps facing him with angry eyes.

Genesis froze, as his look darken.

"Hold him still" Heather said tearing the skirt she wore at the down, helping Dale tie his hard.

"We don't have any medicine for the pain, what will we do?" Josh said panicking.

"He will manage" Heather said tiring the knot of the material tightly.

Earning a ear piercing scream from Dale.

Genesis eyes shakes as he silently moved backwards, before he turned walking away disppearing in the woods near by.

He roamed it alone lost in thought, the birds chipping, the wind whistling around in a calm rhythm, it was cold but Genesis didn't feel a thing, was he even capable of feeling anything? That though rang in his head like a drum. 

He halts, staring at his palms, seeing more blood just in his vision, he gulps hard.

"Once a ghoul... always a ghoul" he quotes Jesse's exact words, the agent words ringing in his head, his fist clenched hard as his body trembled, he didn't have much time left, and still he haven't found his parents, in anger and frustration he punches the tree beside him, hard. The branch crushing in the process, making a cranking noise like it was about dropping. 

Was he really angry because he couldn't see his parents or was he angry that he hurt Dale and  Heather, he saw in her eyes she was pissed at him and it was all his fault.

Downtown

Race yawned loudly, getting off the car along with Kayla, her eyes still glued to her device.

"Are you sure this is where the signal lead to?" he asked.

Kayla gaze drift away from the device to the woods.

"Yup" she said.

"This is where the signal was jamming, it's a network dead zone over here" she states.

"Why would he come here?" Race said puzzled.

"Or someone brought him here, this a no network area, places you wouldn't have to look beacuse of it's Tropical region" she explained.

"Someone whose hiding" Race said in realization.

"Exaclty or a group, it could be ghouls Claw Walkers, I heard of a union of them, hidden away from civilization but a strong support to the black ghoul" she said.

"A fan club or something?" he said amuse.

"Something like that" she shrugs.

"Come on let's get moving".

***

The birds chirping, Heather walks in the woods looking for Genesis but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Genesis!" she called.

"Genesis!" she looks around.

"Why are you calling for me?"

She gasps on hearing a voice turning, she looks around before looking up, Genesis was seated on top of a tree branch.

"I hurt your friend, you should hate me" he states with a puzzled look. 

"He hit you first I wouldn't blame you for retaliating, but your methods were wrong" she said sternly.

"You would have rip his hand off!" she hissed.

"Well he asked for it!" he snaps back.

Heather growls.

"Why do you act like you have a box for a brain" she hissed.

Genesis fist tighten at her words.

"Maybe I do, I wasn't brought up like a human, I was brought up like a puppet, a monster" he said with gritted teeth, before turning on the tree branch going down, landing in a swift move.

She instantly regretted her words.

"Wait!" Heather said.

As Genesis halts his move.

"Where are you going?" she asked with shaky eyes, she had this overwhelm feeling he was leaving.

"Your people won't help me" he began facing her.

"I can't sit around pretending I'm one of you, look Heather I don't have much time... I have to see my parents" he said.

"You called me Heather" she said, a small smile finding her lips.

Genesis gulps realizing he did.

But then she frowned.

"And what do you mean by you don't have much time?" she asked puzzled.

"How touching" a sinister came in.

Genesis instantly felt the chills. Him and Heather turned correspondently facing a woman a few distance away from them.

She was a beauty, wearing a black leather clothing, consisting of pants and jacket, beneath a purple shirt that hung her body perfectly, short straight white hair, kept perfectly, her ghoul eyes evident, the white part of her eyes black, but instead of the center gold like a normal ghouls, hers were purple, a bright shade, a sick smirk plastered against her lips wickedly.

"Her eyes..." Heather began with wide eyes, yes they were ghoul ones, she was sure but a colour she has never seen one like that.

"...Are different" she adds in fear, she don't know why but she felt extreme fear just by staring at the woman.

Her dangerous gaze drift to Genesis who stood immobile.

"And you must be the failed project of Barbra Jones" she states in amusement, her eyes shinning as well, she observed him with a thought face, her long nails, purple in colour graced her chiseled chin like in thought.

"She did quite the work, the only thing missing is loyalty" she shrugs in a simple tone like it was apparent.

"You will have to come with me, the Director will love to see you".

Heather instinctly stood in front of Genesis, knowing very well that woman was bad news.

"He's not going anywhere with you" she said bold, facing her fear.

"That's a feisty one" she giggled in amusement, the sound was haunting but then the sound died down, replacing a wild range of killing intent as her eyes beamed dangerously.

"Well I wasn't asking"

Genesis froze getting the signal.

"HEATHER LOOK OUT!" he shouts.

***

"Ugh have been walking forever, we are not getting anyway" Race groaned in frustration.

"You are really getting on my nerves Race, quit complaining like an old lady and keep up" Kayla hissed, getting fed up with Race rants and complains.

They were half way in the woods, with no signal once again, but Kayla was sure, she knew they were heading somewhere, she believed, a civilization could be out here somewhere.

Suddenly the birds filled the skies all running from a direction like something scared them away.

"What's with the birds" Race said coming to an halt as did Kayla.

"They are running from something" she said certain.

Like in response to what she said something shot out like a bullet slamming hard on a tree close to them.

Kayla gasps at the sudden action.

"Is that" Race said haste.

It was Genesis but in his beast form, struggling to get up with a growl.

"I wonder what makes you special" a demonic voice came in.

Kayla and Race turned in unison, they paled in extreme shock at what was before them.

A being Iike anything they have ever seen stood before them, it was Six in her Claw form, it was tall almost as tall as Ghost, it had a slender structure, looking feminine. Wrapped in purple bandages, extended arms and legs, sharp deadly claws purple in colour. Bald head her purple eyes beaming dangerously, one hand held Heather against her throat, her legs wagging back and forth, she tried to break free but it was futile, her life was literally getting drained from her from the tight hold, it felt like her neck was gonna break in a spilt second.

Six eyes lands on Kayla and Race. 

"Well, well, well, it's like we have guests.... let's have fun shall we?" she said in a deep melodious deadly voice that made their skin crawl.
