dy running mad. Besides with the experience in the hidden world, one could be described insane compared to the known world. He shrugged her on the shoulder "I'm not insane and you've to listen to me." He said coincidentally and Catherine looked at him "Come to think of it, with your unique blood, we could get rid of humane medical discords and weaknesses." He idealized but it caught Catherine negatively. She scoffed and scoffed until it turned into a laugher "No offence, but are you crazy?" She asked almost screaming. Lloyd nodded negatively "What did you mean?" He asked but wasn't requesting for an answer "C'mon, with your blood i could create medicines to cure diseases, germs, viruses and so on. Humans could be something more, we could be great amongst all creatures in the hidden world not just sustenances at the end of the food chain." He explained "just think about it, you can walk in the day, you're heightened in senses and abilities, what else could happen?" "Death!" Catherine replied almost immediately "Did you know how insane my hunger was?" She asked "it was mortifying, I could devour anything that very moment before attempting these!" She answered signifying the sachets of blood. Lloyd was thoughtful again, he knew Catherine was right but how hard could it be? Clancy knows how to control his thirst for blood and Catherine sure tried not devouring him, how hard would it be for the world not been able to control their thirst? "There could be war, global destruction and humanity extinction. You can't do these and I'm never going to think like you just did." She lashed out. Lloyd heaved and rubbed his face vividly "Wow, you just crashed my plans of building us want we had lost." He reported. Catherine sipped again but never dropped the cup, she froze it an inch to her lips "She's dead dad, nothing in the world can change that!" She assured and concluded her sip from the cup. Lloyd was dethroned mentally, it wasn't what he was actually expecting from his daughter but she proved to be less empathic. He couldn't decide if it was part of the results of her treatment but Clancy wasn't unemotional, he was in fact the emotional creature he has ever discovered in the hidden world. "Wow!" He muttered silently and rose on his feet breathing heavily under his breath "I can't believe you just said that, I'm...I'm so pleased." He added. Catherine nodded her head negatively "You shouldn't be, you know what's going to happen if you release or replicate experiments like me into the world, there could be bloodbath." She explained. Lloyd tried to utter a word but he heard a noise above that caught their attentions. Catherine sensed what it was but couldn't describe what she deduced, it wasn't human nor any relative neighbours. It was something else. Lloyd noticed her facial changes and asked "What's wrong?" She sniffed "You don't have to go up there." She said. Lloyd walked towards the stairs "I have to know who's up there." He replied but before he could take a step, Catherine's right hand clenched onto his left hand and held him back aggressively. "Don't!" She warned which made Lloyd more curious. He couldn't believe their house could be attacked during the day. No one cares about the C-Dome, like they all said, it looks like a tormented house. Not glamorous nor is it impressive, it's medieval and ancient. It could be a random thief thinking the house to be abandoned and in search of left properties or a thief in search of money. "What's happening?" He asked Catherine and she shushed him silently listening to the activities above. What they could vividly hear were the disbandment of kitchen utensils, wood cracklings and other domestic upheavals. They couldn't tell what it was but Lloyd knew if it was Clancy, he wouldn't be scattering the house roughly. Besides, journey by car to the end of the Violetwall town could take four hours but on foot, they could be takin
