Hey guys! sorry for not having recently put chapters, but had to make a trip to celebrate the New Year and all that, but I'm here and I bring the continuation! Enjoy it!

Chapter 4: "Once you discover"

I'm not an easy bone to crack? What a lousy joke I have made like the first ...

-What did you say?

- I said Consul fabius

-Common name…?

- Mbopí - he said in a bored tone while rubbing his temple

-Proteides mercurius

Mercury skipjack, of order Lepidoptera and of the - he rubbed his nose - Hesperiidae family

Tests, tests, tests, all day were no more than hours of simple tests of knowledge about the animal kingdom of the insecta class of the phylum: Arthropods. He couldn't find a second of peace in which he could rest, he felt as he began to fade from sleep with how warm he was, with his fingers inside the gloves sore from knocking the table waiting for the session to end. He expected to be taught the basic fighting tactics and things like that, he thought the test was going to be just a simple routine battle, not a kind of insect exam

He was surprised the first time when they asked him which families were the insects that showed him and he responded well to everything despite not having known it, but it became boring when they didn't stop doing it, leaving aside the surprise, the feeling of bitterness started to grew and grew

The rest they gave him was the first and last he had, until he decided to put an end to that

-Hey, don't you think that what I need to learn is how to defend myself out there?

The scientists just looked at each other and then saw it again

-Oh, this isn't the aptitude test

- I already knew that, I don't believe that this place is for the investigation of plagues, but if this has nothing to do with the test Why do you ask me all these things?

-We are evaluating if you have knowledge about insects

- What of what? And for what the hell would they need to know that? Why should I remember those things if I'm going to be an agent here?

-I'm sorry, but we can't respond to that, we just follow orders from O'Deorain

-Ah, it had to be ...

The boy said as he rubbed his head disappointed, the headaches and the terrible itching in the nose, plus the powerful feeling of sleep didn't let him think clearly at that moment

-Ugh, that woman again. How many species have I already told you? How 599,998? If I say 2 more we would go in the half, if I am tired and both ofyou still have a energy to continue let me tell you that are much rarer than me, apparently the only thing in which I beat you two is that is that I'm quite clothed for a damn winter storm

-Did you tell us more than 500,000 species? How can you know the exact number?

-Rarely I can remember, and believe me son, it's much more entertaining to list them than to talk with you

-That should be all for the moment Patricia, Edward, both can leave now

Moira's voice echoed in the doorway, the two obeying her orders take all their material and leave while whispering softly

-What "son"? we look the same age

-It looks even younger ...

-Hey, don't start with that

-What?! I didn't say anything, with what eyes do you think I see our object of study?

The doors closed leaving Moira and the boy alone

-How are you?

- "How are you doing?" Don't come with that - he said in a tone not very pleasant, but the scientist showed no signs of anger - I'm telling them a whole damn encyclopedia of the kingdom of bugs without rest and you come as if it was a children's game for me

- Didn't it seem to you? After all, you are very informed despite not having memories

- I don't see how that can help me know how to survive, I assumed that I was going to be a soldier, That's what the aptitude tests are for

-You say it as if it were only necessary to hit everything that crosses your path

-It's not very different from how barbaric you were with me just yesterday - Yawn as he took off his glove and began to exercise the hand moving his fingers

-I don't see for why you complain, the wound healed faster than it should have taken, right?

-I imagine it was for one of the grotesque things you did to me

-I'll explain everything to your time ... Hm? - Her look gets serious when she sees the boy's uncovered hand

-What?

-Extend your hand

-I don't want to do it- AAaahh ! - Before he could finish the sentence, his arm felt the same sensation as before when Moira took it and bent down to review it better - You damn ...!

- Since when is your hand like this?

-Ah?

He saw that in his hand the veins were visible enough as if he were transparent

- What a heck...?

- ... - She gets up and leaves the room

-Hey! Are you going to leave me like this ?! - The useless screams of the boy resounded like echoes in a cave, disturbed he gets up and begins to remove the clothes that covered him, when he takes off his shirt and sees himself in the mirrored glass. He was totally pale, noticing the veins all over his body and much more ... He could see the movements of the worms inside him.

-Don't joke…

They made sudden movements, He began to beat their chest to try to make them stop, rightly he was tired, rightly he was cold. They were eating him

-Don't move, put on your shirt and sit down

Moira's voice rang again inside the room, but she came back with one of the assistants who had a tray with ... food?

The assistant timidly approached the table and left the tray while the boy saw her face confused, his eyes noticed his face turned blue and escape

-What is this?

- Foods rich in vitamins of the B complex, vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid and calcium. They will help you to replace the blood that you lost, the smell is not very powerful so that it affects your nose

- ...

-Don't see me with that face, I still have a use for you so sit down

This time he didnt disobey, he sat down, took off his mask and began to eat

- ...

- ... ...

- ... I lost my blood ... for them?

- ... Aaah - She sighed and went to the table - First swallow and then talk

Another order that didn't disobey

- * Gulp * - He wiped his mouth and then spoke - They started to move abruptly, like ... dissatisfied

-It was due to the blood insufficiency that your body had after having fed on it, they weren't born normally, so they weren't nourished by natural plant nutrients, that is why they absorb the blood and nutrients from your body

- My nutrients and my blood ...?

- The blood also contains hormones, fats, carbohydrates, proteins and gases that will help them grow, maybe that was like a last trump card since you didn't give them nutrients

-But even if I have my blood back, they will continue to absorb it!

-That's why your body is able to withstand large amounts of sodium and other components that a normal person couldn't support, you must feed enough so that they, like you can stay normal

-Uhg, imagine that. I, eating a lot of large quantities of macrominerals and other things ...

-It is the only way, also you shouldn't do it every time or it will affect you in the missions like tomorrow's test

-It seems as if I will have a wife or many of them inside me, always dissatisfied ... Wait, what?

-Reaper had some important things to do today, so at least you learned how your internal control system works

-Wait a moment !, tomorrow ?! They haven't even taught me self defense!

-Don't tell that to me Art-0, tell your supervsior about it

- You said he was busy! Also ... Art-0?

-That's your name, don't tell me you didn't notice it when you checked your arm

He got up again and pulled the sleeve of his shirt showing the same word he said on his shoulder

-Art-0? And why zero?

-You were one of the first humans to modify, you were the first to start my superhuman project

- ... What about Reaper? I listened to you two and apparently both had some history together

- He was already an official agent, with history, big and strong who decided to submit on their own to occupy their new skills with an own goal

- Ah, that differentiates him from an amnesiac that is going to be used and he can't do anything to avoid it because he was threatened by taking away all hope even if he run away

-Yes, quite in fact

-Well, if I didn't get anything but a tattoo and a big scare to know what is going to happen if I not take care of the larvae that I have inside, it would be better if I go to rest for tomorrow knowing also that it could be my last day since I didn't receive kind of self-defense tactics

-Not everything will be so bad once you discover the reason of your nature

-You confuse me too much, I better go to rest, the food tasted weird but it was good

He left the small testing room and went to him thermoregulation chamber, Moira didn't stop him, she decided to go out as well, thinking how excited she was that she would arrive tomorrow, she saw the boy for the last time and went to the elevator . It was 8:30, the time for the children to sleep, but at that time in Talon, death came after hunting in the shadows, waiting to know how the new victim would writhe in pain when being kissed by the mortal widow on the next day

Aaaand this is the end of chapter four! I was already in the middle of the 5 but I'll put it tomorrow, again I regret the delay but now I think I can continue, CrayonScrawl says goodbye wishing you a good start of the new year, love, I love you and see you until chapter 5!
