My Vampire System

On display inside the room were three different profiles, showing information about the three students that went missing after the Dalki attack on planet Caladi. Because the transformation skill was at level five, Peter was only able to imitate a person's facial structure.

With the current level of his ability, there wasn't anything he could do to mimic a person's height or physical appearance. This also meant that he wouldn't be able to pretend to be a girl unless one had the same body type as his. To allay suspicion, Logan decided to pick the student who was closest in height and body type to Peter.

Out of the three, there were two that matched Peter closely. Now when making a decision between which one, Logan opted for the one with a less known background and with an ability they could pass off, and wouldn't cause too much trouble. He decided to go for the duplication ability user.

Hearing this Quinn wanted to protest to this idea. Out of the three men from Ben's group that had attacked him in the desert that day. Two had died, while one had lived. The one that lived was also the one that Logan was now suggesting for Peter to mimic.

Quinn had left him in the desert after removing his memory, but he had never come back, nor did the search party find him. Perhaps while he was laying down unconscious on the desert floor a beast really had come and killed him.

After thinking about it, he realised if he hadn't come back by now, the chances were really low of the person returning. Most likely he was already dead.

Peter looked at the screen and carefully started to morph his face. The student had medium length brown hair, and one of the finer details about him was he would often wear a bandana that cut off one side of his hair while the other remained up.

Finally, Peter would no longer go by his own name while in the school and now would be known as Pio Blank.

Quinn took a long stare at Peter and came to the conclusion that this might actually be the best option for him. He had to look at Peter in his new form every day, if he looked like someone whom Quinn had killed or had let die, he didn't know how that would make him feel.

While all of this was happening, the groans from the back were heard as Erin lifted her body off the bed, and started to touch her head. It was ringing with a dull pain, and her face felt slightly numb, similar to the feeling of a migraine.

When she looked up she could see the faces of everyone in their group, staring at her, but she also saw a person she had never seen before, this slightly puzzled her, because she didn't see Peter anywhere.

"Who the heck is the new guy?" Erin asked groggily, not making the connection because she still wasn't fully there.

No one said a word and after a few moments, she started to remember everything that happened to her. Her last words with Jack, and what he had suggested to them.

"No! No! No!" She started to scream. There was no need for her to try to use her ability. She could feel that it was no longer with her. But just in case she tried to form ice in her hand. She tried again and again, but the result stayed the same, she couldn't do it anymore.

"Calm her down, before someone outside hears us," Vorden said.

Layla quickly rushed over to her side, but Erin couldn't help but scream in anger and sadness. The others had never seen this side of Erin before. It was different for most of them who had been weak their whole life. If their powers were taken away it wouldn't make much of a difference.

But for Erin, she was high up. Of course, the others didn't know the full story, and just how much being strong meant to her.

"Do you really want us to be caught?" Logan said as he threw out a circular device towards Erin. The device opened up mid-air just before reaching her face and it wrapped around her head and mouth, like a tight fitting mask. The screams had stopped but the tears still continued to run down her face.

"Erin I know you are upset but right now your situation involves all of us," Logan explained. "I can't have your selfish actions harm me or the others, now Layla I believe you would be the best person to explain to her what we have planned."

While Erin's mouth was covered, it was a lot easier for Layla to explain. It didn't give Erin any option to complain, and it allowed Layla to explain everything without her getting in between. How Jack had sent out a search party for her and Peter, how she was part of Pure, and that they would be sending her to Pure for protection.

Logan then walked up to Erin, and before taking the device off her mouth, he had a few things to say himself.

"Now if you scream, it goes back on. The situation is not favourable for any of us, and please trust me. We went through all the options. I even looked into your background and thought about seeing if we could send you back to your family. But that's not possible," Logan said.

"Staying with Pure is the only option we currently have." Logan took off Erin's wristwatch and made a few adjustments to it before placing it back. "We are a bit wary of Pure so if you need any help in an emergency you can contact me through that, although I doubt we will be able to do much. Do you understand?" He asked as he finished his monologue.

Erin nodded calmly. Rather than angry or sad she seemed to be going through a different stage right now, she seemed to be in shock. As soon as the mask was taken off she looked at Layla.

"Will you be coming with me?" Erin asked with pain in her voice.

Layla looked in her eyes and held both of her hands before shaking her head, she knew the next words would hit her hard. "No I can't, I still have my mission here," Layla replied.

At that moment Erin snapped her hands back. Everything was getting a little too much for her. Her abilities had been taken, she was being treated as a convict by the school, Jack was possibly after her life, and now she had no choice but to join a terrorist group.

Why did this have to happen to her? Was it just her bad luck? Then she started to remember there was one more person in the same situation as her.

"What about Peter, will he be coming along with me as well?" Although Erin didn't get along that well with Peter, if she was going through this struggle with someone she knew it would at least be better than going through it alone.

The student who Erin didn't recognize, which was standing next to Quinn, then stepped forward and his face started to morph back into his old face.

"But how? Didn't he have an earth ability before?" Erin asked. "How did he learn that?" The sound of a little excitement could be felt in her voice.

"That's because Peter is no longer human," Quinn explained. "When a human turns into a vampire or a vampire subclass they lose their old ability as their body changes. Logan's guess is it has something to do with the cells in the body being different. Essentially it's like getting a new body so Peter was able to learn a new ability."

Hearing these words from Quinn's mouth, suddenly gave Erin an idea. She had lost her ability but not all hope was gone. If what Quinn was saying was correct, there was still a chance for her to get her powers back.

She stood up from the bed and said... "Quinn, I want you to make me a vampire. I want you to turn me like how you turned Peter."
