In Pycea, Elijah used the last of the money he had taken from the cab driver to rent a small motel where they plan to start their new life. Though Mia loved her mother so much the pain she felt in her heart continually receded till she felt no pain but just anger. She was still angry at herself for being the cause of her beloved mother's death.
With no college degree or relevant skills, there was not much they could do to make a living for themselves. Elijah decided to become a cab driver in the city of Pycea. Occasionally, he would take some of his passengers to a deserted stretch of road near their motel and kill them for food. He would suck them dry of their blood and then take their belongings to be able to afford the cost of living in Pycea. To keep her beloved alive, Elijah will occasionally knock one of the victims out and then bring them home to Mia.
