They were almost out of the neighborhood, Lilith and Ed on their tails. "Nobody's hurt?" asked Jane, trying to keep the car calm and speed out of the neighborhood. Suddenly, the back window shattered and Charlie's motorbike almost met with Amy's head.
"You missed Ed!" cried Lilith. Ed looked around for other things to throw at the car. "Should we go Five Across the Eyes on them?"
Ed sat down behind Lilith. "You're sick."
Charley kicked the bike out of the back window. "Are you alright? Amy, are you okay? You okay?" asked Charley as he moved to the backseat with Amy.
"Jesus!" cried Jane as they entered the barren Nevada desert. "This is seriously not okay, Charley! Who the fuck is this guy?"
"Mom, I told you, he's a fucking vampire!" snarled Charley.
Jane had enough of this vampire crap. "Enough with the vampires!" she screamed.
"Really!"
"I can't see Ed or Lilith anymore!" sighed Amy, making Charley look out the back window. Indeed, they were gone. That was either good or bad.
"Let's calm down and call the police," said Jane. Apparently she underestimated vampire powers. She took out her cellphone. "I don't have any service."
Charley pulled out his phone. A bar popped up. "I do!" he said. It went away. "No."
Jane threw her cellphone. "I hate the fucking desert! Now I have a psycho next door!" she yelled. In the rearview mirror, she saw Jerry's car behind them. "Oh shit, Charley, is that his car? Tell me that's not Jerry!"
"Who else would drive Jerry's car, Mrs. Brewster!" snapped Amy.
"Ed!" cried Charley.
The car smashed into the Brewster's car. "Oh my G-d! What the fuck!" cried Amy. "Charley! He's coming around the side!"
The car got in front of them and blocked the road a few feet away. Jerry got out along with Ed and Lilith. "Oh no! What do I do?" asked Jane.
"Hit them," said Charley.
"I can't hit them! Lilith and Ed are just kids!" cried Jane. Granted, they were brats right now. "And Ed is your friend!"
Was. Was his friend. It was certainly too late for Charley to apologize to Ed. Charley's mom came to her senses and ran over Jerry. Ed and Lilith had jumped out of the way. "Holy shit!" screamed Amy as she and Charley discovered Ed and Lilith were on the back of the car reaching into the broken window, swiping at the couple.
Down by Jane's feet, Jerry's hand popped up. "Go daddy!" howled Lilith pounding on the car. Amy, Jane and Charley looked by Jane's feet.
"That's his fucked up vampire hand!" cried Charley. "Now do you believe me! Keep driving!"
Jane heard Lilith and Ed laugh. She looked back at them, she saw their hands were claws like Jerry's hand and huge fangs hung from their gums. "Yes, Mrs. Brewster, keep driving!" cackled Ed. "Not like we'll rip this car to shreds!"
The car stopped in the middle of the road. They were rear ended again. This could be good. Ed and Lilith could be squished. Amy and Charley looked at the back, no sign of them, dead or alive or even squished. A man got out of the second car. "Stay in the car!" cried Charley.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" cried the man.
"No! Stay in the car!" cried Amy.
"You stop in the middle of the road, you got a tail light out!" barked the man. Jerry lifted the car and came out from under it. Ed appeared behind the man.
Jerry pointed behind the man and the man spun around. There stood Ed, pale, black eyed and a wife mouth filled with sharp fangs. "I haven't eaten in a few days!" growled Ed. The man was pinned between Jerry and Ed.
Ed grabbed the man and opened his mouth. The man began to scream. Ed bit into his neck, blood flew in every direction as Ed drank the warm blood. Charley got out of the car, armed with a cross and walked up to Jerry and Ed.
Ed dropped the body and transformed back to the normal Ed. "Hey, Charley," he said.
"I'll take care of this," said Jerry stepping in front of Ed. "After all, they have something I'm after."
"I repel you with the power of Christ the Lord," said Charley. Ed snorted. Charley was hardly religious.
"Do you? Really?" doubted Jerry. "That's a mighty big cross there, Charley. The question is, do you have the faith?"
"He doesn't!" cried Ed. Jerry looked down at him. "C'mon Jerry, I'm starving!"
Jerry grabbed the cross, which lit his hand on fire. With the other hand, he grabbed Charley by the neck. Jerry blew out the fire. He threw Charley back to the Brewster car, making Jane and Amy gulp. "You ever get a stake in the chest, Charley?" asked Jerry. Jane looked in the back. The For Sale signs were all on wooden stakes. "I have. It hurts."
Lilith sensed her plan and jumped from their car to Jerry's and took off into the desert with Ed. "But they missed the heart," continued Jerry. Suddenly, blood soaked Charley's face, a stake was rammed into Jerry's back.
They watched as Jerry crawled away, trying to get the For Sale sign out of his back. Jane fainted. Amy and Charley put Jane in the car and drove on the rims to the nearest hospital. Behind a cactus, Ed held a sobbing Lilith. "Lilith, the Brewster's are gone," said Ed. "Let's check on your dad."
Lilith looked up at him and nodded. Ed wiped the tears from her eyes and kissed her forehead. From the little bag she always wore, she took out a bottle. She opened it and stuck her fingers in and painted two red lines under each eye. It looked like ketchup.
Ed just watched her, confused, but still followed her to Jerry. "Ed, this is life blood from Germany. It's vampiric blood, which is why it's so thick," explained Lilith. "This stuff is rare, but can bring a dead vampire back to life."
She heard her husband gulp. "Not like in a zombie way right?" asked Ed cocking an eyebrow.
"Eddy, vampires and zombies are two different species," giggled Lilith as Jerry began to stir. "Daddy!"
"Why aren't you two following them!" growled Jerry. "God knows where they are now!"
"You have two granddaughters who need you!" said Lilith, she rolled her eyes.. "Plus, I am a Germanic vampire."
Lilith placed her hand on the cold road and rolled her eyes back. "Uh, Jerry, what exactly is she doing?" asked Ed.
"Germanic vampires have psychic abilities," said Jerry. "They also have healing powers as you saw."
