Chapter 10 - Mysterious Woman

"It's nice to finally meet." A woman's voice said as a pair footsteps walked inside a small, office room. The metallic door shutting behind the boy. "Are you the one who sent the letter?" Asked Dawn, taking out a kunai. "No need for the aggression. Besides, that wouldn't work. It's a cheap rip off of a real kunai." The woman then turned the spinning chair around, exposing herself. She has a orange fox mask, red scars being around the eyes. Her black, silky hair shining in the light as she tilts her head. From her exposing fingers, Dawn could tell she was Asian, or at least some sort of white race. The girl wore a tight, turtle neck sweater, with a knight's like chain armor being on top. A katana's band wrapped around her waist, but with the holder being empty. Small bags with a brown and black checker pattern being attached as well.

"What do you want with me? If it is about my father, I am sorry if he hurt you in some way, but—," "I was his second in command," Dawn was cut off, "but I imagine you don't know what he truly was, hm?". The teen shook his head at that, "all I knew was he had a business that made millions, dad saying it would change the world.". The girl laughed at that, getting up and taking out a small notepad. "You know about the new vaccine, correct? Well, your father created it," "but isn't it creating humans into monsters?" Dawn asked as he walked closer.

The lady walked past Dawn, motioning him to follow. Which he did. "You see those monsters?" She points to the lab tanks, "those were humans. Failed test subjects. John never gave in, though. Instead, he did it better from learning from his mistakes," she then turned to Dawn, "so your father created a vaccine that he knew people would want, and it would help them become strong.". Dawn followed the woman to a white board. "There's different stages. Gold are the smart ones, green are the healers, and reds are the strongest, but them and the golds heal slowly.".

"Aren't reds and greens enemies?" Dawn suddenly asked, which she nods at it. "Most, yes. Most of the cases are when they're friends before the vaccine. But after? If one gets green and the other gets red, the red will kill." Dawn scrunched his nose slightly at the thought of it, "how idiotic..". The dark haired girl then took out a vital with a paper wrapped around it, handing it to Dawn. "Your father wanted me to give you this. He also advices you to read the note," the girl looked at the entrance, "I have to go now. Take a look around. But don't touch anything, or it'll kill." Dawn looked at the vital. "But what about—" He stopped his words once he saw the girl gone, frowning slightly. "Hm.." Dawn hummed, before looking at the note. He felt how rough the texture was, staring at the 'vaccine.' It had the same green liquid as the tanks, which he furrowed his eyebrows at. "I'll take it when needed.." Thought the boy as he carefully unwrapped the note.
