Lele stepped out of the vehicle and looked around fascinated. She couldn’t remember the last time she had seen so many people without weapons on them. And the faces. People were smiling.

Not scary, bloodthirsty smiles, but genuine happy smiles. She had begun to think they no longer existed, but they apparently did. She began walking and was suddenly in the air without warning, having been picked up by the scruff of her clothes. She thought she was in trouble until

*Nyoooom*

A truck suddenly barrelled past where Lele would have been, causing her to feel her heart in her throat. As she gulped it back down, Jinx tutted. “I swear. Those Kun-Co truck drivers are reckless beyond reckless. You hear reports of them killing a pedestrian every other week.”

She then put Lele back down and scolded. “Be careful, I know you have grown used to no traffic, but we are in the neutral zone now, things are pretty much normal here. Now let’s go, I need to see him.”

As the pair crossed the street, looking both ways, The sight of a child out in the south, this late at night caused some commotion from onlookers, but what really set people off was the fact the child was skipping right to the front of the line.

Jinx naturally ignored the lot of them, what were they going to do? Attack her? This close to Sophia’s? The notion was laughable. That was until the man at the front of the queue to the club placed his hand on her shoulder and said. “Lady, I have been waiting here for an hour and you think you can- aRGRGGGGGMMMFFHH! aghhhhhhhh!”

The noises that came out of his mouth were as follows. Jinx grabbed the man’s arm, ripping it out of the shoulder socket. Before the screams became unbearable, she then jammed the arm down the man’s throat, suppressing the scream and damaging his throat to the point of no return. Once the man stopped screaming, Jinx let go of the arm and turned around to let the man die in some semblance of peace, a mercy considering her good mood.

She then approached the bouncers, one of them she recognised and said. “Hey, I’m here for Apollo. The child Is Lele, I told Sophia about her earlier.” The bouncer looked down at the child and frowned as she requested information and received it moments later.

“Ok, but the girl can’t go downstairs, you know this.” Jinx raised her hands as the bouncer opened the door for her. “I know, I know. Don’t worry, Apollo should be coming upstairs soon anyway right? I’ll just drop her off inside one of the booths in the meantime. Lele, come.”

Lele was still looking at the dead man for a moment before she felt her body feeling dragged along. She was still curious as to how Jinx was able to commit murder in front of a crowd of witnesses in foreign territory and get away with it. ‘Is it to do with her boyfriend?’

…

A moment later, a small fleet of air cabs descended onto the street, parking by the front of Sophia’s. Stepping out of the vehicle Valerica looked around and tutted when she saw a dead body, just lying there in the front of the club.

The seven foot woman naturally caught attention, even more so in her purple dress with red accents that showed off her assets and clung to her tightly, showing how in shape she was as even when wearing clothes that aren’t her gym attire, she still enjoyed showing off her in shape body.

She caused even more attention when she walked to the front of the line and began scolding the bouncers. “Are you two serious! Leaving a dead body in the middle of the street! This is my son’s club and you are just going to leave dirt out here to rot? Clean this up this instant!”

After she said this, she smiled and spoke like she had not just shouted at the two people that could decide whether or not she could enter the club. “Anyways, Valerica Hyllus, Here to see Apollo. My daughter Kathrine is already inside and I have brought Apollo many gifts!”

The bouncer with metal augments smiled politely as he pointed behind Valerica. “Do you see that line? If you plan on getting in, you better go find the end and wait like the good- “”-Lady Hyllus, you are permitted to enter. I see you have brought help with the gifts, they can enter as well, I will keep an eye on them. Have a good night.” The second bouncer said with a smile on her face as she opened the door.

Valerica smiled at the woman before turning towards the other bouncer, leaning down to speak softly. “”Hyllus. Does that name not sound familiar to you? Give it a minute and think about the mistake you were about to make trying to punish me.”

Valerica then walked into the building like she owned the place as she began her hunt for her son, she couldn’t wait to tell him the good news after all!

…

“Yeah, this one is only ever used by Sophia so you should be ok in here for now.” Jinx said as she opened the door to a suite. There were some bags inside so the place was most likely being used as storage for now.

“Lele, you stay in here for now ok? No one should come in as they are forbidden. I will introduce my mother to you in a short while, for now though.” Jinx closed her eyes and frowned when Apollo wasn’t downstairs like he was minutes ago. “I need to go and find my boyfriend.”

…

I had taken a secret exit out of the club and was walking around the block to the front. I had been force fed too much food and even my advanced digestion could only take so much food being shovelled into my mouth by the train of cultists.

The first one of the cultists that wanted to feed me, I was like. ‘Sure, ok. That’s kind of cute.’ But that opened the floodgate and almost every cultist had lined up to feed me a little bit each before they ran off to tell their friends exactly the same thing they had just experienced.

I was worried I was going to burst so I took my escape in an unconventional method as I feared if they saw me go towards the elevator, a riot would break out. Just the little bit of walking and the small break had made me feel hundreds of times better already so I took the next left down the long street to make my way to the front of the club.

I was shocked upon turning into the street how many people there were waiting outside the club. It was such a contrast to the rest of the south, or what I have seen, It made me feel bad that Sophia had not managed to convert everyone, that way no one would be suffering.

As I began crossing the street, literally out of nowhere, a truck suddenly swerved around the corner going well beyond the speed limit, if there was one down here, and hit me directly. The front of the truck was caved in and I was sent hurdling down the street…

“Ow.” I said on reflex, before sitting upright. “‘Fuck sake.” I muttered after checking myself for damage. I was fine, but my jacket now had a massive hole in it from the impact. ‘I have to find a sturdier material to make this out of, I am sick of constantly repairing it.’

Disregarding the philosophical question of whether after all my repairs of my favourite jacket, was it still my jacket? I stood up and made my way over to the truck, ignoring the crowd that had come to check out my presumably ‘dead body’ as I did so.

‘Kun-Co? Is this universe sick of me already? Trying to send me off with a literal truck with Kun written on it?’ That thought was suppressed to Onyx, but Sol heard it clearly and was still confused by the laws of her kindled’s past universe. Meanwhile, the next thought I had clearly got through to everyone in the Mindspace, causing the at peace Onyx to begin sweating.

‘Thanks for the assist by the way, my cloak and shield. Have you lost your edge? Or did you know I was in no actual danger? Lazy Stalker, I can’t wait to spank you with Zircon later…’

Ignoring the existential dread I just put onto Onyx, I opened the driver’s side door of the truck to see if the driver needed help. He did, but it was beyond my capabilities. His brain matter was all over his steering wheel, which made sense as the impact caused him to stop dead in place after going well over a hundred miles per hour.

‘Well, serves you right you poor sod, learn to drive better in the next life.’
