Ashley
I think John was simply wrong. He didn't know, of course, that the rage and the violence weren't drawn up from inside him (hence his comments not only in The Five but to Helen at the start of EoN2). It wasn't until Haunted that he realizes it. So he simply thought her violence and rage came from him... Which is interesting, cause based on the John we see in Haunted (and I'm guessing the John whose first instinct was to save Helen in The Five and to prevent the chaos of the Cabal and to give whatever it took to get Ashley back and safe in EoN without having to go to war are John's own personality as they match that gentleness and thoughtfulness I think we see in Haunted), she couldn't have gotten it from him, which is why I think she got it from somewhere else - possibly Helen herself.
Remember, just because a character thinks something or says something doesn't automatically mean they're right...

Would Ash have part of this entity inside her like woven into her genetic makeup? the reason i ask is in THE FIVE John say's to her he see's the same Killer instincs in her as in him and also i'm wondering how long after taking the pure blood did the creature latch onto John ?

I agree with those of you who've said it will be interesting to see Helen's reaction to this. Does she work to try to figure out some way of getting the creature out of John and contained (for some reason I flash to Ghostbusters every time I think that)? I'd think, given the circumstances, she certainly would do so as soon as possible, then wait for a chance to find him and free him. Not simply even because it's John but because, really, containing and securing rare and dangerous abnormals - which the creature certainly is - is sort of what she does. So there'd be no reason for her not to and every reason - both professional and personal - for him to figure out a way to free him.
Though, I'll add, I think at the end of Haunted we do see Helen 'pass judgement' on John. She tells him: "It would have killed a lot more if it weren't for you. You kept it at bay". Effectively, that's her letting him know she now realizes the murders weren't committed *because* of him but in fact, he'd prevented even more murders by fighting the creature and containing it. Because she says 'kept' here, not 'you're keeping' - the past tense and not the present. She was telling him he was the hero, not the villain. That, imho, is her judgement in this episode.
