Zoe Beringer

Zoe began to pace around the figure. The tendril like appendage twisted and shrunk back into the shape of her arm as she circled. "Care to find out?" Her voice had the quality of rending metal and echoes as it slipped through her lips still stained with dried blood.

The figure's blade met Zoe's flesh just above her collarbone. Digging into what should have been blood and bone the blade stuck and then absorbed into her flesh in a static like sizzle. Zoe's grip relinquished from the figure's throat momentarily as she glanced down at where the weapon hit. This was a new development...and it felt good. Throwing back her head, Zoe unleashed a laugh that ripped the surrounding trees in half.

((i got tired of being a wimpy human. apparently, when that thing punched me a piece of its flesh stuck to my rib. when you healed me, you gave it enough power to reanimate and take over my body))

Zoe snapped her attention toward the remaining figure. Her teeth glimmered a white as pale as her skin as she flashed a sinister smile. "And who was I before?" Zoe's voice resonated in a deep unearthly way as it clawed its way out of her throat. There was something sharp about the way her words sounded as they sliced through her teeth. Reaching toward the figure, her once graceful hands hardened and fused into her arm stretching out in a sickeningly disproportionate tendril and wrapping around the figures neck.

Replicating and dividing those monstrous cells began to spread through Zoe's blood. The color drained from her skin leaving no sign of the bluish veins or peachy tones of her former appearance. Her pupils dilated and exploded into a blot of inkish black throughout her eye sockets. Her tongue slid along the sharp new row of teeth that had miraculously replaced her prior dentition. Any pain she had previously felt fell away as Zoe rose to her feet. Drinking in the the scenery, her newly dimmed eyes noted the position of the two figures near her.

In one brilliant bolt, everything in Zoe's field of vision went black. The blood dried on her lips and tongue leaving an acrid metallic taste as she felt the ground disappear from below her. A slice of milky white flesh sticking from Zoe's cracked rib rippled to life as energy coursed through her. As her abdominal wound healed, the foreign blood and sinew fused to her healing body.

A chill ran through Zoe deep to her bones as the desire to allow her eyes to close nearly overwhelmed her. This precarious feeling jolted something awake inside her and her eyelids snapped open. She would not go gently. As her vision focused, Zoe realized Drac was near her and emitting the icy state that had momentarily transfixed her. Feeling along the blood soaked ground, she attempted to crawl away from his reach.

In a flash of movement faster than any human could ever predict, the creature not only blocks the attack but counters by plunging its arm though zoe's stomch at an upward angle. Soon blood starts flowing into her mouth due to one of her lungs being stabbed by the creature's icy arm. "I asked nicely the first ti-" The creature tries to growl, before a portal opens and at least 50 blue hands drag it back though the portal also grabbing its arm as they do. Zoe is left with a large hole in her stomach, and a injured drac racing over to help her.

Zoe watched as the creature vanished. Pain registered in some part of her brain, but as she opened her lips to give voice to this hurt, red liquid quelled her speech and oozed from her mouth. The shock brought her to her knees. Her arms felt heavy and leaden, but she managed to move one high enough to trace the bottom of the jagged wound on her abdomen. A stiff breeze kicked up igniting the exposed nerve endings of her torso. In that instant, Zoe vision blurred as her eyelids fluttered wildly. Once again she tried to say something, anything, but all that resulted was a small grim bubble on her lips as the remaining air in her lungs slipped away.

Green tea. At least, that's normally what I drink. Haven't had some decent tea in a while...

You should try adding a little bit of grapefruit juice to it. Not only does it taste awesome, but it supposedly unleashes all these delightful cancer fighting antioxidants.

The blow strikes it and oddly enough, the creature stumbles back as if hurt."Grrr....give that back...." It growls, its voice inhumanly deep and gruff.

A malicious smile crossed Zoe's face and she gripped the arm for another strike. "No." Her voice had a mocking girlish ring to it as she twisted the arm and swung it like a bat at the milky demon allowing the back of the dismembered white hand to launch toward its owner's face.
