Torielle's body moved to the stairs. She held the rail, "Finally!"
Her stomach pulsed. "Let go you little fat bitch!" Her head motioned to the right. "Wait!" said Davea inside of her. "Get a knife."
"What the fuck are you making me do?" her grip on the rail to the stairs tightened. "What's the point?"
"I want to kill you!" Torielle flinched at a stinging pain around her chest. "OBEY"
Vampires can't do this… she thought. And her neck started to burn. "Cece!" Torielle cried out. Her body flopped to the ground and Davea was over her person. She opened her jaws, Torielle put her arms up in an X position. Teeth met flesh, Torielle squeezed her fist. "Get off me!" she hollared. "Cedrica!"
You are dying. But I can save you.
"Then save me…" she couldn't breathe. He stood up straight and her sight was gone as a heavy black boot knocked her out.
You will be saved.
Hatch picked up her body and put her over his shoulder.
I will save you
He faded away from sight. Cedrica wiggled in sleep. When her eyes parted, she saw the green beneath. She smelled gas and heard cars honking. She groaned, her head ached as she sat up and frowned at the sight before her.
Across the grass planes was a broken freeway with various cars parked. Cedrica got up and walked to the freeway. She climbed over the rail that was broken and examined the nearest orange car that was short from front to back.
There was nothing inside it expect a black torn coat. She was went to the driver side and pulled the handle. To her surprise it was unlocked. She grabbed the coat and put it on.
Closing the door, she moved to a brown Cadillac. The window were busted out and the hood of the car bent upwards. Cedrica looked in the window, there was dead body.
The corpse was skinny, wearing a white button down shirt, black pants, and laid in the backseat with his mouth open. "What happened?"
The closer she looked, his teeth were sharp. "Looks like a vampire." Cedrica parted from the window. She gazed down the road and saw cars, paper, and chunks of concrete.
But on the other side there was grass.
Not having much else to do. She went up the road, passing cars. There was dead dog with long arms and his jaw open behind a car. She grimaced, "Is that a werewolf?" She pondered moving to it. As she took her time, she saw the werewolf had no right foot. It had been severed off and the chain left alone below the foot. She kicked him to his back and saw a several hole on the side of body. The thighs were cut and pierced with bullets.
"What happened to you?"
Alexis
She looked up, searching for the voice. She decided to look in the car. A vehicle with holes near the gas tank and the back tire on the left was shredded. She pulled on the back door handle, a rat fell at her feet. Cedrica jumped back, gathering her nerve again, she kicked the rat and examined the car. In the cup holder, she found an ID card.

GHETTO COMMISSARY VAMPIRIC DEPARTMENT
"My middle name is Alexis. Torielle's middle name is Bumigida." she blinked, why did she care?
Take that.
She heard the voice again. Cedrica stuffed the ID card in her jacket pocket. Looking through the car once more. There was a magizine in the back of the passenger seat.
The front cover had been ripped off.
THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES AND CRESATURE COMFORTS
"We hate it here." said Chidubem Morgan. Chidubem and several vampires coming from the GHYTTO realm have stated they aren't accepted by Virginia.
Counselor of the DOHRCC stated the Department wants to welcome the dead while the residents say the Department is trying to bury them even further.
"On behalf of the department. The vampires and spirits alike are welcome into the world of the living. We can only meet the needs of so many but our priority is counting every breath we can. We have met the interest and taken in consideration of drug addiction plus funeral observances."
Below the article was a picture of a white woman. Councilwoman Martha Dawson of the Department of Human Resources and Creature Comforts.
She continued reading the article.
It's been said that the Department is doing the opposite of what it says. Journalist Farley Hawkins wrote an article about the DOHRCC during a tour. As well as Childhood representing the realm. Childhood is a big spokewoman. While it has been noted the state of Virginia has no voice. Despite having mayor Growden in power.
Alexis.
She checked the glove compartment. Inside was a lock pad and a set of bullets. She took the bullets and felt under the seats for a gun, there was nothing. Outside the car she glanced up the road.
The man with no head beckoned her towards him.
Alexis
Cedrica's mouth hung open. She made her way to him while eyeing the other cars. As she walked pass one car went off. She halted as her shoulders tensed.
Alexis
She faced the figure. "What?"
"Do you know why the car went off?"
Of course she didn't know why. She tried to sound smart, "The battery is just trying it's best?"
"Close enough," said Hatch. "I will tell you."
"Then why ask me?"
His body turned towards the car. "This is the Ghytto or, as they say, Locucts." He pointed to the car. "That is Attaullah She."
"Who is that?" she shrugged. "Vijay's grandfather."
"Vijay?" now he had her attention. "The family is… seperated. One doesn't want to deal with pedophile and another half disowns a murderer."
What did any of this have do with her? "It has a lot to do with you. Being a reincarnation of the antichrist."
"Anti… ANTICHRIST!" she blurted. "Nah, I'm not that! Davea, yeah, me. No. Not Cedrica!"
"Cedrica yes. But I encourage you to use your middle name."
"You can't tell me what to do!" she stomped. "Who--where am I?"
"The Ghytto."
"What the fuck is that!"
"Your mother is Shiloh. You know Jesus."
"I don't go to church and I've never been!"
"But your parents went to church. You don't remember Aunt Darling?" If she could find the exit she would have been missing by now. "Alexis, you were made to carry out something."
"The trash? And I'm going to hell?"
"no, you are an Idol, Alexis."
"Cedrica--"
"Alexis, you were born in a great sin. But, you aren't a heifer."
"Are you calling me a hoe? I'm thirteen."
"Your mother is a whore."
"Well damn." she looked at her feet. "What the hell…"
"Shiloh agreed to have sex with fifteen men." he stated. "She got pregnant but didn't tell anyone who the father was."
What was she to say? "When she was finally on a field trip, she told. Dareion is your father."
Great. "I'm adopted?" she questioned. "The ways of this world are simple. Vampires can live forever as long as they have somebody. Understand."
All she did was stare. "Your father needs your help."
"Why?"
"When was sixteen, he was diagnosed with cancer. A cancer so strong, he was bedridden. He had a heartattack but believed in his own strength and taught himself to walk."
Her father was dead, she understood that. "He's not dead." Hatch came to her. "Listen, Saint John is your grandpa."
"My grandfather?" That sounded awesome. A granddad named Saint John. "so, where is my grandpa John? What about Tori? Is she my sister?"
"Tori has to die." Hatch stood in front of her. "She's useless."
"She's fat! Not stupid!" she retorted.
"That means multiple things." He was tall, he stood over her and he bent down. "Tori has to die. You can use her body while your father uses you."
"What are you saying?"
"The Ghytto needs a king and your father has made an impression. Shiloh would have been his first wife but now that might be Darlene. Sadly, we don't want that."
"Didn't you call me the antichrist?" she sneered. "That's rude as hell!"
"You are the antichrist." he told her. He cupped her chin. "You could receive." Why couldn't she move. "A handsome inheritance."
