Marrow did not like the taste of blood. It was too metallic, too cupric. It made her feel like a monster. Spitting out the mouthful from her split lip, she shifted her grip on her bone knife and smiled bitterly at the approaching man. “Friend of Humanity,” she read off his shirt. “You are an idiot. Culled from humanity…that would be your name had I the choice.”
“Shut up you dumb worthless shit!” he snarled, raising the barrel of his shotgun to sight on her.
The mutant’s smile became stretched, a grimace of anger and pain. “Die,” she spat, hurling her blade so that it sank with a satisfying, meaty thud into the man’s throat. Around her, Morlocks lay dead and wounded or unharmed and enraged. The Friends of Humanity had staged an attack, an obvious one, and it had been Callisto’s folly that they were now reduced in numbers. Marrow paced forward, pulling her bone knife from the gurgling man with a sure tug, wiping the blood off on her leg before turning to face Evan. “Get up,” she ordered.The fight had lasted all of ten minutes, long enough to draw attention. The news crew down the street was moving towards them, the van skidding on wet pavement and the reporter, some blonde lady in tweed at Godawfuloclock in the morning running, trailing her camera man and sound tech. Evan stood shakily, looking at the Morlocks around him in gape-mouthed shock. “It’s a fucking massacre,” he said softly, his voice a bare whisper in the slow dawn hours of the morning.
“No,” Marrow said sharply. “This is no massacre. This is a fight.” She nodded to the body at his feet. “ Start moving them down to the sewer. We don’t leave our dead to be gawked at.”
Evan found that he could not move. He was sticky with someone else’s blood and he could not move. Shock paralyzed him as others began to work around him, silently and quickly. Bodies disappeared. The wounded were tended to in best field hospital fashion. Those who could keep moving were stood up and ordered into formation. Those that could not… “Where’s Callisto?” Evan finally asked. “Anyone seen her?”“Here,” came her familiar, albeit angry, voice. “I’m here.” She limped out of the shadows, her hand pressed to a bleeding wound on her thigh. “Some fool sold them guns.”[1] She glared at Marrow, snatching a length of torn shirt from the boney woman’s hand. Binding her wound, she said to no one in particular, “Just grazed me. Didn’t get into my flesh… Damned flesh wounds bleed more than any other kind.”
“Except gut wounds,” Marrow said prosaically, glancing at her victim. “And throat wounds.”
“How many are left?” Callisto demanded of the nearest Morlock, a tiny girl with four arms like a Hindu goddess. Each hand held a weapon, like her namesake Kali.[2]
Kali cocked her head to one side and frowned. “All of Thornn and Feral’s group… ten of us.”
Callisto nodded. “It’s enough.” She moved to the head of the alley again, her keen eyes scanning the road. Friends of Humanity members were doing the same on the other side, moving their fallen and demanding justice. Sirens were wailing like bean sidhe, drawing closer. The news van skidded to a halt, the sound of falling equipment audible even through the walls of the vehicle. The clatter of the Action News reporter’s heels drew Callisto’s eyes eastward. “Show time,” she smiled, the words coming through clenched teeth.
“MURDERERS!” A woman with hair past her waist, clad in a dark skirt and sweater, screeched as she came out of the darkness, seemingly flying but actually running, her sneaker-shod feet slapping wetly on the street. “They’re murderers! Look at what they’ve done!” she accused, pointing at the fallen Friends of Humanity members.
Callisto held up her hand for silence, acutely aware of the camera now in her face. The Morlocks seemed like monsters in the eyes of the public; she knew this without needing to be told. Now there were deaths connected to them, deaths which had no other explanation. “It was self defense. We will not address this matter further without legal representation.”
“Are you connected with the group calling themselves Morlocks?” the perky blonde reporter demanded, shoving her microphone a little too close to Callisto’s face for the mutant’s comfort.“They’re MURDERERS!” the xenophobic woman screeched again. This time, she was joined by others of her kind, shouting invectives, wailing and crying in the predawn light.
Police cars flooded the street with flashing lights and screaming sirens, drowning out anything else Callisto might have said. She fixed her expression into one of bland calm and stood, arms hanging loosely at her sides, as she was approached by two officers. “Put your weapons down,” one of the demanded. “You, drop the spike!”
“I can’t!” Evan’s shaky voice rose from behind Marrow. “They’re sort of attached!”
Callisto held her hands out on a gesture universally symbolic of being harmless. “We have wounds,” she called to the approaching police officers. “We require medical attention.”
“You *require* the electric chair, you sick freak!” a voice from behind the officers shouted, one of the Friends of Humanity members still demanding justice for their fallen.
“We’ll come peacefully if you promise us medical care,” Callisto said more firmly, her sharp glare at Marrow silencing the other woman’s protests.
“What is she doing?” Evan hissed. “She’s letting them arrest us!”
“She’s apparently got a plan… Her plans suck,” Marrow added as an afterthought. “This is not going to end well, you know. God damned Eloi.”
