The nun did not move her face merely wincing as the crusink’s wrist came to her lips pushing upon them instantly causing her mouth to open slightly the blood slowly pooring in, richened by the blood of Asta as the crusink fed. At first she choked her eye brows frowning as the blood ran from the side of her mouth a moan escaping as she shutterd in pain before her throat moved ever so little as a sign she had swallowed some.
Struggling to swallow, her body shaking and everything along with the struggling to breath was not making it easy on her. Thoguh she could not fully hear his voice, it was as if something was drawing her as she laid there in pain ner deaths door. She could feel warm arms secure around her though she was unable to wake. Her body felt like it was braking down changing at it was painful.
The change alone was, but the poison in her system from Cain was struggling aginst her efforts of changing cuasing a muffled cry to slip as an odd shock ran through her body. Chemicals and odd mixture of methsalah blood cells with other ting created by those working for Cain attacking the nano’s pulling away any nutoeunts of the Methusalah blood. The spark was the nanos begging to take truit in her body, the signs of change but the poison kept spreading.
The nuns body shaking for a moment of time as she fought to drink the blood. Her shaking hand reaching up as she stirred finaly clutching t the crusink’s chest as she barried her head near it as if trying to chase away the pain her eyes opening then closing as she struggled to breath. Blue eyes flashing red then blue. ‘’It..it hurts..’’ she mutterd nto fully there. ‘’Ugh!’’
Ion simply stood there, unmoving unsure of what to do, his eyes wide. She was changing into what father Nightroad was!! It looked painful, he had heard a human changing int a Methusalah was painful but a crusink! He franticly looked about as if searhching for something that may help.
‘’Doesshe need Methusalah blood, is there anything I can do!!’’

'It always hurts...." The Crusnik said softly. Deep within Abel was furious. "I've given what is needed...my nanites are pure and untainted. They will help you fight the poison. Ion, when I say so you must relax...Esther will go intoa blood rage and attack the first methuselah she sees. It will either be you or Asta...Either way she will try to drain you..That is why i am out, to prevent your death." The alien looked at the Inquisitor. "You must not make a threatening move right now. if you do, you will surely die. When a Crusnik comes into thier power they are insane, crazed with bloodrage, and will attack anything they percieve as threatning. I know becuase I went through it at a young age. While my host is over 900 years old, I am far older, and much wiser. I suggest you heed my words."

Ion gave a nerveuos nod remaining still as he backed away to Asta's side, it was not much and the inside of him raged that he wanted to stay near Esther. But his loyalty and respect for the being he considered his close freind won over and he remained still.
If this was all he could do to help then so be it, he would do so. ''Right.'' he muttered in a soft tone remaining still ready on the crusink's words, fear yet true trust mixed with worry showing in his eyes.
Not far away Rosa remained where she had been noting what was
going on and keeping a safe distance away shielding her child as she watched worriedly, averting her eyes filled with shame from the true cursink. Even after she had helped, offering over her own blood when he had been wounded she did not feel worthy to be near him.
She had shamed her oath of friendship to them .True it was to safe her child but still it was wrong, she would gladly give herself to Esther to eat, if not for her child.
Esther shook uncontroably pulling away from Abel's wrist as she shook, soft sobs echoing from her lips as she berried her face into his shoulder, hands bawling tighter and it grew worse b the passing minute, slowly her outer form was beginning to change.
Her red hair growing longer waving out behind her, her finger nails becoming claw like as her teeth sharpened. She let out a sharp yel of pain her body jerking as she begin to struggle hard trying to pull away fro Abel. Her mind begging to go haywire lost within the tortures of the pain.
She never even heard his words, no ones her mind to clouded as her eyes begin to shine full red slowly taking over her blues. Her cries and screams of pain growing worse as she begin to trash widely.

"Shes in full rage!" Abel called out and frowned.'Damn...I need someone strong enough to withstand a severe draining."His massive strength was the only thing keeping Esther from attacking the methuslah on site. "Tres, take the kid and make him your top guard priority, execute death protocol if i or Esther totally lose it."
"Affirmative." Tres stood by ready to sacrifice himself to keep Rosa's son safe.
Abel growled in the old tongue knowing Esther would hear it.."Attack me...." he whispered in the Crusnik language, knowing instinctively that the newborn winged Crusnik would understand him.

Ion remained back, worry slight fear upon his face but he remained calm. Standing near Asta watching close. His eyes widening as he looked from Abel to the transforming Esther, not undertstanding clearly what Abel said, but it seemed he was intent on Esther attacking him. A lump formed in his throat unsure of what to do.
Esther 's body shook, her movements frantic her. The pain was maddening, turning all conenehit thought againsth er in a frantic effort. Her body heating abnormmaly with a fever of the change. Along with the proesscess of the poison being fought from her richenc blood. The nanites screamed, causing pain to shoo through her.
A craving deep and dark shading her normal gentle ways as she fought to brake free, her mind on the edge of maddening panic as she stared about at the forms, not regonixzing ajny of them as she screamed in full rage. Anger and pain echoing as she pushed harder to brake free from Abel's grasp.
Anger bulding at being restrained. Then the words came seeping into her mind, forjen yet she understood them well, acting more on inscent then pure rastionail thought as she snarled her eyes turnng to meet him as she slammed hard into him.
Struggling aiming her clwas for the nearest spot she could as a flash of unknown ppower surounded her. Roaring as she tore from Abel's grasp sataggering back a bit on unsteady feet, already her wound at her side was slowly beging to seal as she looked about gasping her eyes landing on Abel before lunding forward.

"Asta, Ion stand by!" he called out and hit the ground hard, his black wings flared so they wouldnt snap. He bared his own fangs in challenge, an ancient signal of aggression. The Crusnik shot into place and Abel's gentle features once more faded. "A newborn crusnik has three times the strength of a methuselah...Esther, you wish to never feed, you must feed from me. My nanites are stable....Do it!" He growled out.
"You got it Tovarish!" Asta called and ripped off her black leather duster.

Ion moved closer to Asta following suit in her movements as he reaided himself.
Esther meanwhile contuined to change, her eyes blank bruning with rage as she glared at Abel, not moving from her place atop of him looking up quickly at the sound of the others from behind growling low before looking to the other crusink under her. The curl of his lip sending alert through her, the sign of t a threat amnd of a challnge looming as s she pressed down harder on his arms with her claws. Her body still shaking with pain as her wings suddenly shot from her back slowly streaching from behind causing another cry of pain as she crumbled for a moment.
Soft purple feathers resting at etheir side as she snarled, her body shaking sparking a she rose up again, glaring at Abel as she listened to his words. Growing in rage, she wanted to eat to kill something not listen to useless talk. Her pain was great, even with her streagth she felt weak as she snarled sparks flowing around as she dug her claws in.
Her eyes looking from Abel to the others around, the full ust for blood clear on her face. He offerd her to feed from him but she wanted Methusalah. He said his nanobots where stable. Meaning he had fed resently. He looked back tasting the air the fresh scent of his blood filling her nose.
The hungar growing on her face as she sliced at his neck ready to feed when she stopped, her eyes seeming to waver. As if struggling with inner turmoil. Not just the poison witch was in hr system but her soul itself. The pioison and been designed to infest and rich the blood of Methsalah and human alike but their was an extra add to it. Irf something was to happen to slowly kill her almost like an illness. That was wat was happening now, it was sending her nanos into a freincey. Her face growing pale as she winced crying in pain again as she quickly bent forward haulting before she bit into her neck. Blood lust stil on her face but also another.
‘’No..’’ a ruff voice echoed. ‘’No..F…Father?”” she was confused her mind in full chaos as it struggled with the change of the crusink, her concuis was trying to brake free of the crusink hold.’’ Ugh…’’’ She growled shaking in pain as she tired to push away shaking her head as she collapsed on the ground snarling digging her hands into the dirt growling in pain, it was maddening this rage burning rage to kill everything around her. It brought sorrow as well, a sadness she did not know where came from.

'Esther, please..." he whispered softly and swept the silver strands away from the cut. "Do it...My blood is stable..." He gazed at Asta with pained eyes. "This is why i never wanted another Crusnik..the change is so painful."
"I can see that..." she knelt by Esther.'Drink child..."

Esther stiffened growling low as she looked toAsta and to Abel, a mixture of emotion riding in her eyes. One of them the wanting to feed, to tear them apart right now. Another pure fear of what was happening, anot fear fully of this but she was not sure what was happening she did not understand.
Why! Why did she want to kill her freinds, Why! she sobbed greif filling her suddenly before agian a blot of pure anger, it was their fault in the first place she was like this, pain so much pain was because of them. If she killed them the pain would end.
She growled red eyes looking to Asta before a slimmer of the nuns soul and rectinion once more appeared. ''No!'' she cried pulling from Asta. ''Stay away dont come near me.!!' Her mind pancied she stood runnnig a few steps before collasping sobbing into the ground clwas digging into the dirt, her eyes staring at it. She was to tired to move.
Becomnig slightly more doislie despite the rage her mind to clouded to think on its own. Easily could if someone moved slowly would she be coaxed to drink, the hunger coming over but the pain causing her not to be able to move.

Asta sighed.'Nightroad, you recover, I'll help her..."
"Sure Tovarich." Abel said softly and sat back his eyes showing sheer exhaustion. "Ion...help me..."
Asta knelt near Esther. "Esther, I can help you...please let me, I won't do anything to harm you I swear it now In front of everyone."

Ion had stood their frozen unsue of what to do, everything seemed to happen so fast. Before he knew it Abel's tired voice wasll callin for him snapping him back to reailty as he looked from the Presit to the winged being witch was Esther, Asta had followed her saying somrthing he did not catch as he rushed to Abel's side grabiing hold of the priest. ''Are you alright?'' he asked worriedly.
At the same time Rosa settling Ivan on the gras telling him to stay put rushed forward to Abel has well. ''Youre body is weak?'' she asked worriedly bending out hestant as she tried to help, eher face breaming with guilt. ''Thisi s my fault I am sorry father.'' she whisperd softly as she eased him to the nearest wall to sit against before looking to the wounds tending to them. ''If you need blood then take please.'' she said in a soft tone.
Esther looked to Asta through pain red fogged eyes struggling to keep herself calm as she closed her eyes she was passive for the moment simply givning a weak nod, she still did not know what was happening, her mind to numb to understand anything as of the moment.

Abel smiled weakly."I've just held this form for too long..I will need to replenish myself. The red eyes were incredibly kind and serene. "You offer freely, I accept.' He slowly bent forwards and fed from her just enough to soothe his ravaged nanites to get them to heal him.
Asta smiled and swung back her hair."Please, Esther, take from me what you need...it might help with the pain."

Ion moved back some keeping still a firm grip on Abel’s shoulder while his eyes darted around, keeping watch for any sign of posing threat. While looking now and then with worry to Esther. Growing in intense worry. ‘Where is that airship!’ his mind snarled as he watched Asta attempt yo coax her into feeding.
(Ok new twist hope this is alright.)
Rosa wrapped an arm around Abel holding him steady as he fed, hugging the way one an older sibling someone dear to him as she kept him there if he tried to move away. ‘’Drink..sire please take, you only took enough to heal but your streagth wil give out again please.’’ She whisperd lowering her head out of sight of the others.
His gentle look cutting to her heart. ‘’it’s the least I can do..father..’’ she mutterd her voice shaking in guilt.’’ Please forgive me..for doing this to Esther…I had no choice….he you brother had my son..please forgive me.’’ She sobbed.
‘’I…thought…he loved me Cain…I got to close and he took the only thing that matter to me to so I would odo as he wanted. But you and sister Esther…became my family…besides my son you are all the family I have…my brother’’ she attempted to look up before looking at Ivan the boy had went to huddle near the android sense he was the closest thing the little guy could find for comfort. Not knowing where his mother had went as he grabbed at Tres leg.
His features thin shockingly like that of Cain himself with pure gold hair popping from under his small cap as his aqua blues looked about. Cain and hers son, the one which nearly cost her life having if not for the teleological advances of this modern era. Keeping the boys nanites from passing into her system. The boy wss strong yet with the nanites feeding from the virus within his blood he weakened at times.
Needing blood donanted to him every three weeks to keep him stable yet he seemed good health besides that. He could even unlike his mother go out into the sun.
Rosa looked aaway again turning to look at Asta and Esther, there was no time to tell Abel that the boy was his nephiew. What would the preist think of her then, of her son. ‘’If you wish nis…I mean Father..you may kill me..spare my child ..but please kill me for this sin….I cant…’’ she sobbed as she hugged Abel tight.
Esther slowly lifted her head to look at Asta, still more passive then when the painful change begin. Her eyes seem to light with a hunger yet fear as she looked to the womans neck. Shaking acting more on inscnict now then thought weakly drawing herself up, then slowly as if some sane part of Esther heled firm, bit into Asta’s neck and begin to feed, consuming the blood quickly and slightly greedy glumps. The flow slowly easing the ravished nanites still swarming her body, trying to ajust while fighting off the poison witch made her body so ill.
Slowly as time passed, her body begin to releax as she pulled away slumping without warning slightly tward Asta, to warn out to sit up on her own, her breathing shallow skin heated by fever as she shutterd clenching her teeth with sparks coming.
This lasted for sometime, Esther remaining in responsive through it all but for some painful moans as the light took to her body, twitching panting for breath yet making no signs of fighting. Then finally her movements stopped, and the crusink form vanished leaveing the limp form of the red haired nun in its place. Her face badly pale and waxen. Her red hair soaked with sweat.
Her breathing shallow, but she was alive. Very weak, ill but alive the change mostly through now the nanos just had to adapt to her system more through the next days as she got use to being what she was. While fighting off this drug Cain had infestned her body with.
The nun’s face slack, she was out for the count now not even suffering from feverd dreams as normal with a temp as high as hers.

Asta felt weaker than ever, but smiled faintly. "She will live..."
Abel sighed with utter relief and drank what was offered then gazed at Rosa..'I..I cannot..I took a vow never to kill..." He looked down.'Lillith would never forgive me if I broke that." he held her gently and picked her up carrying ehr to the lift knowing she would feel weakened. He did the same for Asta and Estehr though his own strength was waning rapidly. "Ion get on board..Tres you know your mission..."
Soon Kate arrived and hovered over head as the lift lowered.'Hurry!" Kate called.
"Affirmative." Tres said coolly, scooping up the child and carrying him to the lift.
When Abel was sure everyone was on, he boarded last and kate quickly brought them up to safety where the rest of the Ax and two members of the Inquistion were waiting for them.
Petros gave one look at the others.'Med bay now!" he ordered.

Rosa did feel weakned though she did not say anything about it asshe felt Abel lift her up, chiking back tears at his gentle nature. How could he be so forgiving after what he had done. He had hugged her even refusing to take her life. Why? Simpy because of Lilith.
She choked barely sitting up as she rested upon the lift her eyes closed not paying attetion to the others as they borded, to tired really to even think as she driffted off into a silent slumber.
Ion did as he was told following not far behind Tres has as he stepped to the lift. Once abaord he spared aglance at Petros his memories of the man clear as day, yet he did not speak them as he simply nodded. He himself was not injured but the others were.
Without hesitating he helped to get the others into the infirmary quickly leaveing Esther to the medical teams care watching her with worry before going back for Asta, Rosa was already inside.
The turning he went to Abel lifting the tall priest arm over his shoulders in effort to support him, even after having the blood his streagth looked as if it were wavering. ''Come on at least sit and rest.' he whisperd helping him to the nearest chair before looking to the med doors with worry, hoping everyone was alright.
Ivan had trustingly allowed the android to take him, watching Abel carry his own mother with worry before looking away biting back tears. He was two young to really understand much other than his mommy was hurt. He sniffled for a time obdendietly allowing Tres to carry him abord. Remaining near the android for a time his wide innocent aqua blues looking about the ship fearful of the strangers about him.
''Where are they taking my mommy?'' he asked fearfully as he watched her taken into the oppiste doors. Earning a soft gentle look from one of the nurses.
''No worries little one she will be cared for just wait here with Sister Kate, Father Nightroad and Father Tres I am sure they do not mind caring for you.''-
The boy sniffed silently before releaxing stil not leaveing Tres's side for sevrel moments gglancing about the room, mainly to Abel for some odd reason he was fasiniated with the preist even if the .little gu y ws to shy to say anything.
He had seen him back there in crusink form yet seemed unafrad just shy. Giving Abel a small smile before ducking behind Tres a few times. Before slowly walking forward pulling on the priest pant leg. ''You Methusalah like my mommy?'' he asked in an innocent tone.
If Abel looked at him for a while he would be in for a shock. The boys features were hautnngly the mirrior of a much younger Cain.
