30 Hellca

The waitress placed the beer infront of Quintin, he looked at it, then gave Kishra an icy stare.

"Drink up" she said sipping her wine. He reluctantly took the bottle and drank.

"So, before you met Naomi, what goals did you have?"

"None"

"None? No careers in mind? Nothing?"

"I was living on the streets since the age of fifteen, my education was cut short when my parents got killed by werewolves, so even if i would have wanted to do something, i couldnt"

She rolled her shoulders then lean forward "You better start lightening up, your crass attitude is pissing me off" she coldly said.

"What do you want me to say!?"

"Think of me as Naomi, for today only, otherwise you won't be the only one to die on this ship, but you'll definitely be the last"

Quintin swallowed again, killing all the people on this ship!? He couldn't allow that no matter what, he swallowed his anger, and smiled as best he could in a happy way.

"Ok, you win"

"There we go" she smiled back and finished the last of her wine.

"How can you muster that stuff?" He asked, taking the memories he had from Naomi and bringing them back as much he could, even though he hated every bit of it.

"The wine?" She asked.

"Yes, it dries your mouth out, and its bitter"

"I guess you can say it takes some getting used to" She waved at the waitress, who brought her another glass.

"So..." He sucked questions out of his thumb "Were are you heading?"

"To America obviously, that is where this ship is going" she giggled.

"And what were you going to do there?"

"Im meeting up with someone"

Quintin frowned "Who might that be?"

"Its a secret"

Blast it! Quintin thought, this might be another plan Cleopatra set into action, he had to fish.

"Well, me and Naomi had no secrets from each other"

She smiled "Im not Naomi remember?"

He stood up abruptly "I can't do this, im sorry" he said and walked past her, but her voice iced him up.

"Remember what i said Saber, no one will be left alive on this ship if you leave now"

He turned and slammed his hand in front of her on the table, hanging over her "Then what do you want me to do!? Huh!? Because if you really were Naomi, we won't be here right now, we'd be in a cabin having sex" he said trying not to speak too loud. Kishra got a fox like smile on her face "So? What are we waiting for?"

"Excuse me?" Another woman got their attention, her eyes drew Quintin's attention first, one red, and one blue, her skin pale wite and black hair. There was an off vibe about her.

"Sorry to interrupt, but may i ask this man to follow me quick?"

"Who are you?" Quintin asked.

"Im an old friend, but i need to talk to you alone, it's regarding our school days" She said. Quintin frowned, a girl from his school? He looked at Kishra, she nodded "Make it quick"

Quintin followed this woman, she glanced over her shoulder "I didn't think well find you here, of all places"

"Sorry, i don't know you?"

"You seriously don't recognise me?" She asked heading into a corridor then stopping.

"No"

"Then maybe you recognise my friend?" She said opening a cabin. Inside a person stood thickly clothed, a hoody covered the face, and had thick baggy pants on. The person turned to him, even the face was closed in a bandanna.

"You!?" The disguised woman hissed.

"Me?"

"Youre not Caynine!"

"Who the fuck is Caynine!?"

"He was mine, you have his soul, which means hes dead! And either you killed him! Or stole his soul!"

"What the fuck do you mean i stole his soul!? Is that even possable!?"

"Caynine was a Hellcat! And his soul is in you! Explain yourself!?" She yelled lifting the hoody and taking the bandage down. Beyond belief Quintin stood watching this woman, her crimson coloured eyes more maroon than Michael's, and sleeted catlike, just like his. On top her head, two triangular cat ears twitched angrily inside her thick silver grey hair, and her face a shortcoat fur coloured the same silver grey.

"Hey!" She snarled, Quintin saw the upper and lower canines when she spoke, sharp as razors

"I uh i? Uh?"

"Stop mumbling" she hissed again extending her arms, from out the long hoody sleeves hands like paws came out, the claws taloned, he panicked and backed off only to hit the closed cabin door.

"He seem to have his power, but i wont call it his soul" The other woman said coming around him.

"So he really did do something to Caynine!"

"No no no! Wait let me explain!" He yelled holding his hands open in defence.

"We found this skeleton of a cat in a desert a few months back, we thought..."

"A skeleton!?"

"Well yes, and we used the DNA of it's bone marrow to turn me into this cat"

The womans face angered up "So you really did use him! Heathen!"

Quintin recognized that name all too well, but this woman, unlike Nina, had a bloodthirst about her, and she's going to attack, Quintin could feel it. Swiftly he reached behind him, shunted the cabin door handle open and fled out.

"Hey! Come back here!"

"Like hell i would!" He yelled taking a corner, only to nearly run into Kishra who came looking for him.

"Sorry Kishra i kind of made a new enemy Bye!" He yelled not stopping. The cat woman came around the corner aswell, her disguise set up again, but as she passed Kishra she stopped turned and swiftly kicked her yelling "Blasted Hellhound!"

Quintin's eyes nearly peeled out of their sockets as he saw Kishra flying a good length through the air and hitting a bulkhead with a deep 'dong' he heard her heave as the air in her lungs left her. 'Fucksakes!' Quintin thought, this woman? Kicking Kishra like that!? It might be a long shot, but this cat woman might actually ne the answer he needed against Cleopatra, when she glared back at him his gut cramped 'ok its time to run again'

"I said stop you fucker!" She yelled continuing pursuit. Quintin lept down a staircase then sprinted down the hall to his cabin, he made it just in time to slam the door shut and lock it, the earsplitting shreek of claws against steel followed instantly after, Quintin fell on his backside phanting.

"Ha! You couldn't get me!"

"Open this door! If you know whats good for you!"

"I know what's good for me, and thats NOT to open that door"

She was quiet for a while, Quintin could sense her anger right through the steel, she didn't find it funny at all.

"I swear heathen, ill wait here untill you starve in there"

"You're so blood red angry you didn't give me proper time to explain!"

"Well you have untill i figure out how to open this door, then im coming in there to tare you apart"

"I might have agreed to the procedure slightly but i didn't know it will be that cat untill the very end! You see we have extinct cats on this planet called sabertooths, we thought it was a sabertooth! I swear!"

"You're dummer than i though then, extinct means not in existence anymore, how can you possably find bone marrow from an extinct cat! Liar!"

"We thought it was an undiscovered species!"

"Oh! So now its undiscovered?"

"Oh come on!" He yelled frustrated.

"Maybe you should cut him some slack Katja" Quintin heard the other woman's voice.

"No! He took wat meant most to me! He will pay!"

"I didn't take him! On the contrary! Hes helping me now! If you want to put it that way" Quintin yelled

"Helping you how?"

"His strength, if it wasn't for that I'd be dead right now, you could say i owe my life to him, who ever he was"

"He was my soulmate, we were going to be together forever" This woman named Katja said with a sad voice and Quintin sympathized.

"Im sorry, i know how you feel"

"That so huh?"

"Its true, i met my soulmate a week or so ago, now i don't know if she's alive or not"

"Only that short hey? Me and Caynine were together since childhood"

"Well im sorry then, i don't know what else to say"

Katja was quiet on the other side, then Quintin heard her say "Lets go Shi-sai, were done here"

"Wait! Where are you going?" Quintin asked getting up.

"Home, i found what i was looking for, even if it wasn't the result i wanted"

"Before you go, i need your help"

"And why would i help you?"

Quintin opened the cabin door slowly, she stood watching him with eyes of fury.

"We are in a predicament, the world is in danger"

Shi-sai smiled "We know, but thats your problem, not ours"

"But, the way you kicked that woman earlier, you have the strength to fight them" Quintin said looking back at Katja.

"And so do you! Caynine was a very powerful hellcat, you should be honoured to carry his skill with you"

"What skill!? I change under a full moon, and that's it, big strong and fast yes, but i was overpowered even then"

Katja frowned "What do you mean under the full moon? You should be able to attain your hellcat form at any time"

"I can't, i was created this way, im called a saber, which stands for 'scientifically altered biological experiment' im a labrat, im not supposed to exist, im a freak of nature. Now you tell me i have the power of some sort of hellcat?"

Katja looked left and right, then she pushed him into his cabin. Shi-sai shut the door behind them.

"Caynine was a powerfull air elemental, he could summon storms at will if he wanted to, i garuntee you, atleast eighty percent of all the out of season storms you had on earth was his doing"

"Storms? As in hurricanes?"

"Hurricanes, tornados, cyclones, anything wind related"

Quintin laughed "Thats bullshit right?"

She grabbed his collar "You dare mock him in front of me?"

"Oh! Shi...! Ok im sorry, ill take your word for it"

She let him go "And you should be able to do the same things he could" Shi-sai said.

"But how!? I've never done anything of the sort? Not even accidental"

Shi-sai came closer to him, inspecting his face closely "Maybe you need to get used to being what you are first, before you'll be able to use that power"

"Get use to?"

"Yes, for one, you need to turn into your hellca... Saber form at will"

"You see thats the thing, I've been made using DNA of a werehyena, so the moon is the only thing that could shift me"

Katja smiled behind her bandanna "Oh? Then you've never been really, really angry before have you?"

Quintin thought back, shes right, he was never so angry that he wanted to tare his hair out "No, to tell you the truth, i dont get angry easily"

Katja removed her bandana and hoody "Dont worry, being part hellcat, angry is one of the things you'll be an ace at"
