Bob didn't really die. Johnny was too revolted to check for a pulse it was there but it was very faint.
As the scene in park unfolded a girl who's beauty many would die for watched patiently. A couple centuries gave her much practice with that. The stupidity of humans never ceased to astound her. Several clearly drunk boys were surrounding two others. As they knocked aside one of the boys they grabbed the other one and began attempting to drown him. As he struggled his friend came up behind stabbed one of the boys, she didn't expect that. She had been watching him and felt the same sort of pull to him that she had felt towards her first general. Whom: after success for at least eighty years had run off on her. Now this other boy who was followed so easily and blindly was about to die.
He would have if not for the beautiful girl who came out the trees in the park and pressed her cool thin fingers to his neck to check his pulse. She then leaned her mouth to his open wound and sent a fire through his body.
As he writhed in pain, too weak to even scream the girl picked him and ran with her feet barely touching the ground to all the way to the outskirts of Amarillo, Texas. Outside a decaying barn she halted and ducked inside.
"Finally found the perfect general Maria?"
"Yes, I have actually, he reminds me of the last one."
"Took you long enough I've already found four suitable soldiers. One's even a real solider" she indicated gesturing to three pale young men wrestling behind the barn one wearing a tattered blood stained coast guard uniform. A combination of their strength and marble hard skin seemed to dent the ground.
"Fed, lately Liza?"
"Not for a couple nights, been busy with those three and this one who's still changing, he seems to be coming around though" gesturing to a fourth young man breathing heavily on the ground his and taking the tone of a mother with boisterous young children.
"Go feed and grab some new clothes for our new recruits" Maria coaxed "I'll baby-sit"
"Thanks" replied Liza as she ran towards the lights of the town
He's like him but this one won't leave me empty handed, thought Maria.
