Chapter 7 - Starting my journey.

I grab a cloak becuase I don't know if the weather will differ in other parts of the world. All I know is that I have a long walk ahead of me, as Washington State and Louisiana are little more than half the US away from each other. It will take me a long time because cars aren't a thing here, at least regular cars; I wonder if they have ghost cars. I know of legends in the US, but I haven't seen one here.

I started walking after eating a whole city. The fog had become an early morning mist, and now I could see up to two hundred meters without much problem. I didn't try anything with the living as I didn't feel like doing it, as I wanted to make my way to Louisiana as soon as possible. With this time issue here, who knows how long it will take?

I walked for days, not seeing a human or soul, as I finally found life in the living world. It's a rest station, and there are two cars here. Maybe I can hitch a ride out of here. It would be faster that way. Walking closer to the rest stop, I heard two women screaming from the bathroom. I could guess what was happening, so I used my energy to fry the lights in the area, making a group of men yell.

"What's going on!"

"I don't know. Let me go check the power breaker."

Walking closer to the bathrooms, I hear a group of men talking, about five or six. I stop when I hear footsteps from the bathroom entrance, and a guy about 6'3 "230 lbs walks out. I jumped at him, and at that moment, I ended up in his body. I feel strange as I move his body; it's like wearing a fat suit. Freaky as I move around, I can feel my energy draining way faster than before. I can use this body for ten minutes at most as I smile and walk into the bathroom.

I walk inside, and I see three women being held down with their clothes ripped as I look over the guys and grab a metal pipe. That was leaning against a bathroom stall as one of the guys turned his head. There was a girl pinned to the ground under him as I lifted the metal pipe behind him, and the girl looked wide-eyed as I swung down, bashing the man's skull in.

*thwack*

The four other guys notice and begin to charge me as they curse me.

"What the fuck are you doing, Todd! You killed Fred!"

"Todd's not here right now; please leave a message, and he will get back to you as soon as possible."

I said in a husky and foreign voice that didn't sound human to them as they pulled out knives and started to stab me. As I take two knives to the stomach, well, it's not like it's my body as I grab the throat of one and bring the metal pipe down on the face of the other one, smashing his nose and breaking his front teeth out as a gunshot rings out. 

I couldn't see out of his left eye as I spun around from taking the gunshot to the side of his head. Making me fall to the ground; as the men and women try to figure out what the hell is going on, I begin to pick myself up as I place my hand on the sink and get up to see his left eye and cheek have a hole in it.

I look at the group of people as I lung at the closest man, grabbing his neck and picking him up. The guy with the gun fires everything into the man I am controlling as I snap the guy's neck and throw him at the guy with the gun. As he is trying to reload, I jump on top of him and slam his head onto the tile floor over and over, making a splattering sound after a minute as I look down and see brain matter painting the floor.

The guy with the busted nose and teeth had picked up the metal pipe and hit me over the head, making me be pushed out of this man's body. I only have half of my energy left. I don't want to waste any more on taking over the guy's body, so I use what's left of my energy and begin to kill the last three the old-fashioned way by slamming the guy with the metal pipe head through the porcelain sink, moving him to the next one until his head is mush.

The last one tries to run, and I slam the door shut, making him unable to open it. I drag him by his feet as the three women watch in horror as I push his head into the toilet, and he fights, trying to get his head out of it only to drown in the toilet water and after I had killed the last one. The soul of the first one had already left its body lying on the ground as I began to eat him.

The girls get up and make a run for it as I watch.

"Let me eat first, girls!!!"

I didn't want to miss my ride, so I had to leave the others; what a waste of good food. I began to run to the girl's car and jumped into the back, sitting next to one of them and watching us leave the rest station in a little of a mood as I didn't get to eat my food.

Lucky for me, they are driving southeast. I don't know how long they will be driving, but this could kill a good amount of walking as I lean back and listen to the girls freak out about what happened. They didn't want to stay for the cops as that place gave them a scare.

I see them changing their clothes as I look at their bodies and have to say that they look outstanding. If I were living, I would be sporting a hard-on, that's for sure, as I smirk to myself and try to touch the girl's body next to me as I make one of her breasts bounce as she moans and freaks out. I don't do anything else as I don't want them not to want to drive anymore.

I look out the window and wonder how long it will take me to find them, how long the journey will be, and whether I should take up my father's deal. I feel like I can't trust him.
