Side Story #1

- November 3st, Monday. 8:00 AM -

"Your Fired!!!" That's the first thing I hear when I wake up. I guess your wondering who I am aren't you? My name is Angle and I'm 16. I work as a stripper. So now your wondering 'Why is this girl a stripper?' Right? Well I'm poor. I needed money. I've been working for this place ever since I was 14. Let's see... my parents died from a Earth quake in New York, Brooklyn. What else? Oh and my name is Destiny Salvador. but my stage name is Angela.

Now why is my stage name Angela? Well because I look like an angel, obviously. Now there's the confusion part, I'm basically this places income of money. So why am I getting fired? I'm even a virgin, so why? It looks like he seen my confusion because suddenly the fat man said "I heard from one of my coworkers that your stealing money from me, so pack your bags" that's when I ran past him and slammed open the door next to me. "Sabrina!!!" I hissed venomously.

"Yes? Oh hello Angela, may I help you with something?" a sweet, conniving voice called out. Sabrina is, how do you say it? Oh right, she's a BITCH. Ever since I was hired here she's been out to get me. I didn't even do anything to her. "What did you do, you slut!!!" I yelled running up to her. "Now, now, now that's not how you talk to your elders now is it?" Sabrina questioned getting out of bed.

Sabrina is a beautiful woman. She has blond hair and blue eyes. To be honest I thought she looked beautiful myself at once. That is until she showed me her true colors. "Cut the crap, I Know what you did, you lied to-" but I never got to finish my sentence because suddenly I was grabbed from behind and lifted up.

"Hey, let me go!!!" I screamed, banging on who I know is the bouncer. I saw him walking towards the door. "Wait I don't even have my stuff!!!" I yelled out before I was thrown to the street. I looked to my side to see a suitcase. "Well at least they gave it to me..." I muttered. I looked up to see it's morning time, probably around 8:00.

"*sigh* I guess I'm homeless" I get up and pick up my suitcase. ' No use crying about it.' I look at my clothes to see what I'm wearing. I kinda forgot what I was wearing when I got fired and all. Let's see, I'm wearing a white shirt with black around the neck and arms, I'm also wearing black leather tights, no shoes.

I check my pockets to see that I have 20 dollars on me. I start walking towards the slums - the red district and the slums are next to each other - I would've went to the middle part of town, but I don't got no money for them places. as I was walking there I bumped into 2 kids, by their outfits I could tell they go to Brooklyn Visions Academy. They must have went home for Halloween. That's the thing with prestiges schools, you can only leave for holidays.

But then I looked at them closer and saw something that shocked me, there friends. Now I don't care if two people are friends, but a BLACK and WHITE kid? You only see that on TV. I guess I stared too long because then they were looking at me weird. "Oh, so- sorry I didn't see you there, oh and nice boots" I answered as I walked past them. They looked kinda weird though, a white girl with a mohawk - okay maybe that's not weird - and glasses. And a Black kid with cornrows and glasses. I guess times are changing huh?

I took a right turn and ended up in a alleyway. I kept walking like I owned the street, see that's the secret. If you look like you can't handle yourself then your gonna get jumped. I kept taking a few turns until I found myself by the wearhouses. I've been down here before 3 times when I got drunk. Im surprised I still remember the way, I guess I wasn't drunk enough.

I kept walking until I found the last wearhouses, nobody lives near the docks. People stay away from it because old man Ryan lives around that part. I heard lately he's been thinking someone lives in his property. But their always gone before he catches them.

The perfect spot for me to live for a few months before I find a new job and move. I never actually been here before because I was scared, but a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do. As soon as I walked in I saw a few - maybe like 10 or 15 - drums of something called 'X Gene.'

' Maybe if I... yeah maybe if I use this stuff on me I could die early and meet my parents.' I've been having thoughts like this for a while now, I think it started back in August? Anyway I think I should do it, I mean I'm already here and the fact that I see two syringes on the floor but mostly because Im just tired of this.

I'm tired of the work, I'm tired of the school, and I'm tired if Sabrina. Maybe if I die I won't gotta deal with all of it. yeah, and I'll be able to see my mom and dad. I dropped my bag by a drum of the weird stuff, take a syringe off the floor, take the lid of the drum and dip the syringe in.

I filled it up to the brim and stopped for a moment. ' Do I really wanna do this? Do I really wanna die like this?' I thought for a moment. Then I shook those thoughts from my head. ' No, I chose my choice already. I'll do it.' Then I stuck it in my forearm. I didn't even get half of the stuff in there before I fell.

Then I was in a world of pain. It was so painful I blacked out.

- November 4, Tuesday. 12:00 AM -

I woke up to darkness, I didn't know what was happening. ' Let's see... I was at that warehouse and I... ' I immediately run a hand over my body. Well... what was my hand, I looked at it and found out I only have 3 fingers now. Or should I even call them fingers? there like claws. I tried to get up only to fall on the ground again because I was moving to fast.

I looked at my feet to find little ball under it. I moved my hand to block it only to find out it was stuck to it, I also noticed my feet was blue with 2 toes on them. I crawled over to the wall and started getting up. I was half way up until I heard a load bark and lost my footing, slipping to the ground.

I turned around to see a... weird dog thing with orange hair and... no eyes. This dog have no eyes. I screamed. "Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!" I screamed and I screamed. I saw it running towards me and I stopped screaming and got up so quick that I should've been in the Olympics. I looked at the weird dog and saw that it was stuck mid air, like it was frozen.

I took a closet look and saw that it was just moving slow. I slowly walked up to it and saw the syringe I used in it's mouth, stuck in it's gums. I guess the thing followed me here and got this stuck in his mouth. I pulled it out just in time for it start moving forward again. i turned around to see the dog staring at me... I think. I walked up to it slowly and started speaking. "It's okay, the lady took out the syringe, see" I said showing it the tool.

I walked up to it and started petting it. "It's okay, I'm here" I looked at the huge thing see it rolled over and started wagging it's tail. I gave him the satisfaction and rubbed its belly and seeing it's a boy. "I guess this weird thing happened to you to didn't it?"

That's when I heard a voice "hey I know your in here!!!" I turned around to see old man Ryan at the door with a flash light. I jumped up and raised my hand. "I didn't do anything!!!" I waited for a few seconds to see he didn't move I looked back at the dog to see him in the middle of sitting up.

' I don't know what's happening but I'm thankful for it.' I thought to myself while turning around and picking up the dog

- who turned out to be really heavy - and putting the lid back on the drum, pushing the tool where I found it and getting my suitcase. Then something weird happened, I think a visor appeared on my face. ' But I don't have time to think about that.' I thought as I ran out of there.

- Ryan -

' Those brats got away again!!!' I've had this property for years and I haven't had a single problem till now. I looked back to the drums of 'X Gene' and thought to myself ' Why do I still have these? The owner told me to just dump it somewhere.' I don't know what it was for and I didn't need to know.

I was always thinking about throwing them away but I never got time with my old age. "I guess I should just leave it there" I said walking back home, after all I gotta get some sleep, im old anyways.
