Phoebe; Deinekes's wife told him that she saw a Vision that Deinekes killed his daughter. Deinekes knew that even if The Banshee's could see vision. It wasn't always going to come true. As a Father, he loved his daughter and he couldn't kill her, even though, she was evil, he couldn't kill her. He loved her more than anything and that's why he used her sword to kill Himself by placing her arm on the sword as well. So that his Energy would be transferred to her as he died.
THUD!
After the sword struck his heart; Deinekes fell on the floor instantly; entirely lifeless.
"Father, Why did you have to do that." Melina said as she knelt down beside her father and wept. "I am sorry. Please wake up."
It was clear that her quest for power was too much. At first, she thought that if she killed her Father, she wouldn't feel a little remorseful, but it was now clear that she was wrong and she was sad. Extremely sad.
As for Cleomenes II, his chest area had healed. Although it hadn't healed fully, he was now able to move freely Without feeling much pain. "That Old Man was really Strong." Cleomenes II said to himself.
As he walked to where Melina was, he first of all looked at Georgious body which was by the side. His head had been burst open and the other part of his body was intact. "He was really strong."
Melina head was now pressed on her father's chest. She was now trying all her best to see if his heart would beat again. But it wasn't, he was dead. Tears kept on rolling down her cheeks.
"Father!"
"Please!"
"Just Wake Up!"
She said as she screamed and kept on crying. This was a like a pain in her heart. As for her right arm. It was now starting to grow back gradually and it was clear that she has acquired her Father's strength, speed and even Healing Factor.
[NOTE: A DHAMPIR DOESN'T ACQUIRE THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE VAMPIRE THEY KILLED. ONLY THE THINGS THAT CAN BE USED FOR COMBAT AND THAT ALSO INCLUDE COMBAT SKILLS]
As for Melina she knew now that her father wasn't going to heal. The most vital part of a Vampire was the head and the heart. She looked at her arm which was almost grown completely and out of anger. She cut her right arm again with her sword. Melina had learnt a technique that could slow down a Vampire's healing process and possibly even stopped it. She used that energy to wrap around her sword before cutting her right arm, so that it wasn't going to grow back. She wanted to use this medium to remind herself of what she had done. It would be a reminder of Killing her Father.
"It's Okay." Cleomenes II said as he used his hand to touch her shoulder. "People die everyday."
Hearing the last words raised up a certain anger in her and out of anger she swung her sword aiming for Cleomenes II neck.
Cleomenes II was able to Dodge at the right time, But the tip of the blade still scratched his neck.
'She has gotten faster. What happened.' Cleomenes II thought in fear. 'Is she going to be as strong as her father. If so, she is going to be a threat like him.'
Georgious didn't tell Cleomenes II about Melina. The fact that she would get stronger if she kills a Vampire.
As for Melina, the reason why her speed wasn't Faster than Cleomenes II was because as a Dhampir. It would take a couple of hours before her body would adapt to the new power. The power wouldn't just come immediately. This was why she wasn't currently faster than Cleomenes II.
"My Father is a not An Ordinary Person!" She screamed at him and then swung her blades again.
Cleomenes II was a bit far that the blades couldn't reach and he thought she was just demonstrating a stupid act. But immediately she swung those blades, some kind of invisible energy left the tip of the blade and it hit his foot, cutting both foot entirely.
'It seems like i now have the Strength.' Melina thought.
Cleomenes II feel on the floor as his entire foot has been cutt off. He was now on the floor shivering in fear.
"What exactly are you. You aren't like the Vampires." Cleomenes II said in fear.
"Didn't they tell you. I am a Dhampir." Melina replied.
"Dhampirs like me, are the evolution of Vampires," Melina said, her voice steady and calm. "I am the combination of both Vampires and Humans. We can create visions, and see things even before they happen. We have a lot more powers than the Vampires." She continued. "We have the ability to slow down a Vampire's healing process. We are immune to their Mind Control Ability and they can't even Compel us to do anything."
Cleomenes II couldn't believe his ears.
"Our Cells are even capable of handling any Ability that would be liked to be stored in us." Melina concluded.
[NOTE: THIS IS WHAT CATHERINE IS DOING. AS A DHAMPIR, HER CELLS CAN ALSO STORE ABILITIES. BUT I WOULD EXPLAIN HOW CATHERINE GOT THE OTHER ABILITIES IN A FURTHER CHAPTER]
"Do you plan on ending my life." Cleomenes II said. "Then do it."
"And do it fast." He concluded.
Melina raised her left hand holding the sword tightly and was about to strike. But she could hear the words her father said before he died.
"You can Choose Your Own Path."
Those words kept on ringing in her head as she looked at Cleomenes II who was on the floor lifeless. She knew what her Father meant by those words. All her life, her father had been observing that she loved power. Her Father didn't abuse his power until he deemed it necessary. So her father was trying to tell her that she should stop moving on this path. It was clear he allowed her to get his power, so that she could survive. He informed her to run away from all the Vampires.
Cleomenes II seeing that she was hesitating, stretched his claws aiming for her neck. In an instant, like she had expected it, an invisible energy covered her body causing Cleomenes II claws to bounce back not even hitting her.
"Bye." Melina said as she ran out of the place leaving Cleomenes II on his own.
As for Cleomenes II he had one thought as he looked at Deinekes's body.
"My Father told me that the more a Werewolf eats in this state. The Stronger he becomes." Cleomenes II said as he went to devour the deceased body of both Georgious and Deinekes...
