I was walking down a long hallway with so many doors on my left and to my right. I was searching for something…for someone. Then, I heard it, a cry…my son's cry. He was in some sort of danger and needed my help, but I couldn't find him. I opened some doors using my telekinesis in order to save time but the rooms were all empty. Then a tall, brown haired man, wearing a suit ran out of one of the other rooms taking my son with him. I started to chase after them and as they were just out of my reach I tripped over something. A dead body…the dead body of my son and I was soaked in his blood. As I held him close I was so confused and I didn't know how this had happened or why. More bodies started turning up…Logan, Max, Evie, Liz, Gunn, Brin, and ashes that I knew were Anton's. One of the doors opened and Alec walked out, I asked for his help and he said he was sorry; then some petite, long brown haired woman took him away. I called out but he never even looked back. As I sat there cradling my baby's dead body in my arms I looked up to the face of the man who I knew was responsible for all this. He looked at me coldly and smiled an evil and sick smile, then turned around and walked away.

August 14, 2021
Alexis bolted up right in her hospital bed and realized where she was. It was just a bad dream. She thought to herself relieved. She looked around and saw Alec asleep in one of the uncomfortable chairs; she quietly got up, put on a robe—courtesy of the hospital—and walked out of the room. It was only around eleven at night and she had only been in labor a few hours ago; she had given birth to her baby boy.
As she walked down to the nursery she recalled when she first came back from China and right away she had loved the name Alec had picked out for their son. It was Jordan Benjamin Chase. When she reached the nursery one of the nurses let her in and she sat down as the nurse handed her Jordan.
Alexis (cradling Jordan in her arms and watching him sleep): Hey there baby, this is your mommy. I had a really bad dream about you, and I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I love you so much Jordan and I want you to know that as long as I'm breathing nothing will ever harm you. Your daddy and I are so happy you came into our lives and we both love you so much. You know, your dad is one helluva guy and I know you're gonna love him as much as I do. Daddy and I will make sure that you're happy, healthy, and safe. Nothing and no one will ever take you away from us, I promise you. Hopefully we can take you home tomorrow and you can sleep in your nice and cozy bed. As you know mommy isn't feeling the whole hospital vibe, so I'm betting we'll be out of here tomorrow. Then I can take you to visit Uncle Logan, Aunt Max, and everybody else who's dying to see you. Now I have to put you back in this not so comfy bed and go so your daddy won't wake up and be worried. (Giving him a kiss) night, night sweetie; I'll see you bright and early in the morning.
~~~~~Next Morning~~~~~
Alexis opened her eyes to see a nurse checking her vitals.
Nurse (cheery): Morning Miss Chase. How are you feeling?
Alexis (looking around, but not seeing Alec): Good, do you know where my boyfriend is?
Nurse: Yes, your brother dropped by and Alec took him to get the baby.
Alexis (smiles): That's great, thanks.
Nurse (nodding her welcome): By the way, after I'm done here, you and the baby will be able to go home.
Alexis (astonished): Are you serious!?
Nurse: Uh huh. You and the baby are doing absolutely awesome and the doctor doesn't see why you shouldn't be able to go. He's drawing up the discharge papers as we speak.
As the nurse finished up Alexis smiled her thanks, and right after the nurse left she got up to change her clothes. When she finished, she grabbed all her things, and headed out.
Halfway down the hall she met up with Alec, the baby, and Logan. She hugged Logan, and gave Alec a kiss as he handed Jordan to her.
Alec: And where were you off to?
Alexis: I was coming to get you so we can take our son home.
Logan: Home? Isn't it a little early for that?
Alexis (smiling at her brother's concern): Nope, doctor said so himself…well not technically, but the nurse told me, the doc's doing my discharge papers; here he comes with them now.
The doctor came and gave them the papers and told them they were free to go.
Outside in the parking lot Alec was securing the baby in the back of Alexis' car; as Logan was talking to Alexis. Unbeknownst to them that some guy was taking pictures of them from the roof of the building across the street.
Logan (worried): Are you sure you're ready for this?
Alexis (joking): What? Motherhood or going home?
Logan: Ha, ha. You know what I'm talking about.
Alexis: Don't worry bro being a slayer also comes with benefits, healing faster than normal people being one of them.
Logan (giving Alexis a hug): You're gonna do great Lex. This kid is lucky to have you as a mother.
Alexis: Thanks Logan, that means a lot.
Logan (parting from her): So, tonight you, Alec, and Jordan are all coming over to my place for dinner and I won't take no for an answer.
Alexis: Alright that sounds great.
After that, Logan got in his car and drove off; Alexis got in the passenger seat of her car and Alec drove them and the new baby home.
All the while this mysterious photographer man was following them.
~~~~~Late @ night~~~~~
They had gotten home a couple of hours earlier from dinner at Logan's, and Alexis had laid the baby down to sleep. Her and Alec had stayed up a bit and watched T.V., then when they both retired for some sleep Lex had waited and waited till Alec was completely in dreamland to suit up and head out to slay. Before she had gone out she checked in on her son one last time and smiled to herself as she saw him asleep.
Lex headed out towards the cemetery thinking that her best chance at slaying some vamps tonight would be there. Damn, it's been awhile since I've done this, I'm gonna feel sorry for the dumb ass bloodsucker who comes up against me first…not! She thought with a smile. The whole time the photographer from that morning had been discreetly following her except this time instead of a camera he had a video cam.
He followed Lex all the way through the gates of the cemetery—kind of surprised she was going there this time of night—and hid behind trees and bushes as he recorded her every move. Lex got her stake out and ready, soon enough she heard snickering and growl-like noises from behind her. She turned around and there in front of her was a group of five vampires. A medium length raven haired female vamp stood arm in arm with whom it looked like to be the boyfriend vamp and leader of the pack; he was very bulky with spiky bleached hair. The other two male vamps were slender and from what Alexis could tell were probably brothers; judging from their orange hair they were probably from Irish origins. Now lastly the other female vampire looked to be about fifteen or sixteen, she was a little chunky, with short layered light brown hair. Lex almost felt sorry that she had to kill her…almost.
Leader Vampire (already transformed into his demonic self): Well look at what we've got here, a midnight snack.
Leader's Girlfriend (smirking): Hey little girl, hasn't your mama ever told you not to walk in dark, dank cemeteries alone at night?
Alexis: What can I say? My mother wasn't really all that bright, if you know what I mean.
One of the Brothers: Hey, it's better for us, now we can have that dessert we missed out on.
Alexis took a few steps closer towards them and stopped a few paces away. She motioned with her finger to the last one that was talking to come a little closer to her. She took him aside, away from the others and leaned in to speak to him.
Alexis (seductively whispering in his ear): You promise it won't hurt?
Vampire (smiling and fixating on her neck): I promise you won't feel a thing.
Alexis (revealing her bare neck as he moved in closer): Umm…sorry to burst your bubble but, you're looking at the slayer.
Vampire (not caring): Even better, hear your blood's the best around.
Alexis (staking him instantaneously): To bad you won't get a taste.
The two guy vamps came at her and she fought them both at once, realizing how good it felt to be back in the swing of things, doing what she was born to do. She took two stakes, each in one hand, and staked them simultaneously; then the leader's girl let out a deep growl, and made her way towards Lex. Surprisingly she matched every blow Lex threw at her, and then the vamp gained the upper hand and threw Lex into a nearby gravestone. The vamp jumped on Lex in an animalistic way and was about to plunge one of Lex's own stakes into her heart when the slayer quickly dodged it but not completely, since the stake made a deep cut in her left arm. Alexis grew angry and then let out all the pent up frustrations she had of not being able to fight all this time on the vamp, and within minutes she had staked her. Lastly it was the teenage vamps turn but she turned and started running away from Lex. You can run but you can't hide. Lex thought while running after her. She jumped across a couple tombstones and used that to gain on the vampire; once she reached her she immediately staked her.
Alexis dusted herself off—totally forgetting about her cut—and figured that was enough for one night and headed back home. All the while this mystery guy had caught the whole bizarre scene on tape and he triumphantly smiled as he thought, won't the boss be very pleased to see this.

~~~~~Another Part of Town~~~~~
Aimes White sat at his desk waiting for his informant and soon enough the guy showed up with the pictures he had taken and the tape he had used to record everything he had seen that night. About a half hour later Aimes had finished going through everything and he turned to speak with his informant.
White: I appreciate your help, but your services are no longer required.
Informant: Sure, I'll just take my money and be on my way.
White (laughing lightly): No, I meant your services won't be needed ever again.
Before the informant knew what was going on White took out a gun from his desk drawer and shot the guy in the head. White walked out of his office and told one of his lackeys to go clean up the "mess". He then headed down a long hallway and at the end of it he entered a room where he was keeping his ultimate weapon. He knew this secret would at last, be the end of 452, 494, and the whole transgenic sort.
