The rat's skin started flaking off the more it started to move around. Writhing in what seemed to be pain the rat started to squeal loudly filling the lab with its noises of pain.
"Hmm, this is getting to be very good" Cain started to smile, clapping his hands he took the walkie-talkie by his side and called for Giedion.
"I need you to bring me a couple of test monkeys, the faster the better I'm at a crucial moment in my research,
"It will be done," Gideon spoke curtly.
With the expected arrival of the test monkeys, Cain turned his attention back to the rat that started to hurl up its blood. Finally, it stopped and its eyes started to glow with red fury.
Lunging at the bars of the cage it started to gnaw through them at an alarming rate.
"What the fuck? Those are steel bars, it's gotten stronger?" Cain started to sweat a little bit concerned about what happens if the creature managed to get out he grabbed his knife and stabbed it in the head making the rat go limp and fall.
"woosh," The door behind cain opened, and in walked Gideon pushing a cart full of sedated monkeys. "Here they are sir, just as requested."
"Thank you geidion, what would what I do without you?" Cain spoke with a smile.
"Not much young master, not much at all." Glancing at the rats while he spoke the butler looked at the rat with a frown.
"Young master I don't mean to pry, but that rat..."
"I injected it with the other creatures blood, it died and then came back to life, its skin fell off and it showed above average levels of strength." pointing with the tip of the bloody knife cain gestured to the cage.
"As you can see it was quite the boost."
Giedion sighed while frowning even harder if that was possible. " So what do you plan on doing with the corpse of the rat young master?"
"Torch the fuck out of it." Cain spoke while staring at the wall absent-mindedly.
"Very well then... make sure to clean up after you are done sir, I can't even imagine the amoubnt of diseases that that rat could be holding within itself right now." With another "Woosh" The door shut."
Looking at the monkeys and then at the creature who was lying dead on the chair cain started to smile and the smile kept growing. "HAHAHAHA, WHAT IF I INJECTED MYSELF WITH THE BLOOD?"
Shaking his head cain felt a little weird. "What was I thinking? Oh yeah, injecting the monkeys with the blood of the creature.
Grabbing a syringe he walked up to the creature and stabbed it in the heart, drawing large amounts of the heart blood out cain took the vial and looked at the deep crimson blood swirling around with an unnatural flow.
Strapping one of the monkeys onto another table he took the syringe and pushed it slowly into the monkey's heart.
Waking up the monkey started to roar in pain.
Cain took a step back and looked at the monkey writhe in pain with an expectant look on his face.
Just like last time the rat the monkey was writhing in pain moving against the straps, unlike the rat, however, the monkey's skin didn't peel off instead the fur started to glow red.
Its eyes got smaller and smaller until they were no more, and the mouth got bigger until a ghastly hole full of razor-sharp teeth was the only thing left.
The straps made from tightly woven steel infused with diamonds seemed to keep the beast at bay.
"Well this night keeps getting better and better! First the rats strength increasing by about ten times now this! Not only did the monkey get stronger but it changed completely."
Walking over to the monster he took another syringe and pushed it into the brain of the creature right above the eyes. Drew the brain fluid into the syringe.
Strapping another monkey down he pushed the syringe deep into the sedated monkey's heart. And then stood waiting for something to change.
"What the fuck, why is nothing changing?" Frowning he poked the monkey.
He put his finger to the monkey's neck and felt no pulse. "Oh, it died..."
"So it doesn't always work then." Cain was both relieved and slightly puzzled. Relieved because if it always worked an army could easily be created with the blood of the creature, and big armies always caused lots of issues.
And puzzled as to why it failed. Thinking about what he should do next a thought crept into his mind.
I plan formed in his mind and he started to smile, his white teeth shining in the cool lab lights.
On his way out of the lab, he spoke while walking by Gideon. "Bring the corpse of the creature somewhere secure and torch the entire place and leave nothing behind."
"It will be done" Gideon nodded.

Down town the city lights were shining with a fury, the streets still packed with the mass of humanity.
A tall figure could be seen making his way down the sidewalk his feet making no sound cain drifted like a ghost his pale grey eyes swirling with lucid hate.
" I need a human to test the blood of the creature on and I know just the bastard to suffer the effects." Looking down at his phone he was looking at a picture of a man surrounded by scantly dressed teen girls no older than 15.
Walking into a club he made his way into the back, where a huge bouncer looked for any signs of trouble.
Walking up to the man he took out a black card and showed the bouncer, the tall man only glanced at it before nodding his head and letting cain into the rooms behind.
Both the sounds of girls crying and moaning filled the hallway. Cain walked only a short distance before he stopped in front of the door pushing it open he walked in.
"What the fuck, we didnt..." *Bang*
Cain shot the man in the head and shot two more until the man in the picture was all that was left.
There were a couple of teen girls passed out on the benches loaded with so many drugs that the gunshots didn't even wake them up.
I cruel smile crept onto Cain's perfect face. "Mr.Noel, How nice to see you! Hope I didn't crash you're...well one-sided party."
