The world, nature and everything that involves works in a perfect chain, herbivores and carnivores work together as every creature has their "ecological niche" which is their job and purpose in the big scheme.
Even the biggest of all creatures in nature have a purpose, one that in some cases is broken, an easy example may be how some crocodiles become truly freaks of nature, becoming bigger and stronger until the moment they die, but they can live up hundreds of years.
Those are some rare cases, cases of man-eaters or even outcast-eaters, maybe in the outcast society, what's comparable may be a hyde or a bloodlusted minotaur.
But even those fit into a category.
When a monster is so powerful nature shifts around it, that's when the only label you could name them is "inmortal" because the only time this happens is when one of them are born.
Inmortals are a race like any other, for preservation purposes the only way they can die is after reproduction, and for them to keep the inmortal genes, they're born in pairs, a brother and sister, meant to reproduce and continue the same cycle.
This generation of inmortals are strange, one is 3572 years old, the other one is 14.
The first one to come was Jane, her mother gave birth to her when she was 6279 years old, but she didn't die even after hundreds of years, when normally inmortals are supposed to die 50-ish years later, but she didn't until 3000 years later.
That bitch killed her brother, and then decided to have a offspring with a vampire, thankfully a beautiful daughter came along, but not a son.
Jane lived most of her life believing she had the choice to die when she wanted, but having her mother made things much easier, afterall having somebody that lives as much as you makes things easier.
Even so, mom was a complete opossite of hee daughter, she appreciated life as one of the most important things in the world, Jane thought otherwise, afterall it's meaningless, it doesn't achieve nothing and she has seen cities come and go, history come and go.
So maybe it was around her 2500-ish when she wanted to stop living, and took a handsome young man to do the task at hand.
But nothing came, and finally she realized her mother surely did something.
She pursued her and imprisoned her, it took 500 years until she told her the real reason.
"You're still pregnant of my brother!?" Jane yelled kicking her mother in the stomach and then she spread her legs open, ripping the baby away from her mother's womb, her mother cried and asked for mercy to the baby, she grabbed it to her with all her strength.
But the baby couldn't bear the strength of such strong monster, and his skin was ripped down from his shoulders, the skin working like some sort of macabre skirt to hide his genitals and umbilical cord.
Jane didn't care at all for the kid, as soon as he reached an inmortal's maturity, thankfully as both were half inmortal half vampire, that maturity didn't take hundreds of years, instead it took only 15.
So she kept that kid locked, next to the cell of her mother, which after both offspring were born, she started rapidly dying, her immortality fading away until 10 years later, where Jane finally was able to kill her.
She only needed to wait 5 years more until that boy was old enough, during that period she tested if he was truly inmortal, and all the people told her the same, he is.
It was only months now, months until he reached 15 and his body started producing healthy sperm, but in those months the kid escaped.

Jane entered the facility, she watched the piles of bodies with blood, the bloodshed was something that she had to reluctantly admit, that kid had a great potential, she didn't do something similar until she was undress of years old.
She came back to the entrance of the place, she had already tracked him down, and that kid was going to give her what she wanted, the dead she was waiting a long time, she truly couldn't care until he was 15, which was some months until now.

Right now, Addams car.
Dante didn't dare look at Wednesday next to him, after losing the last match, the Addams familiy actually looked thrilled, they said it was one of the greatest fight they've seen.
But for Wednesday's case he couldn't even dare look a her face, surely one of disappointment.
Dante felt a cold hand on his shoulder, after he cleaned himself, there were no spare clothes for him, so he had to go bare chested for the rest of the ride.
"I'm sor-" He tried to apologize instantly, he knew she only asked him to fight for her because she trusted him enough.
"A scar." Wednesday cut him, her voice barely had some emotion more than just curiosity.
"Huh?" Dante raised his head, looking at Wednesday who was watching the scar, that scar that never left his body, a scar from his left shoulder to his right one.
"Surely the first time they experimented..." Dante said his theory, it didn't bother him since he had it surely even before he even was conscious.
"Why it doesn't heal?"
"I'm sure it already did, it's only there because it happened really soon? I truly don't know." Dante said, he was still confused about Wednesday behavior, this was not her, it was impossible this was the same narcissistic girl he knew.
"Why are you-"
"What's at stake it's far more important than our little argument, or this." Wednesday replied before he was even able to respond, because even to her, her actions were strange.
She was certainly annoyed, buy she wasn't mad, she couldn't bring herself to feel mad no matter how many she thought about Dante hiding his suspicion for Tyler.
And she wasn't stupid of course, she knew Tyler and Xavier had something for her, feelings that would never be reciprocated, but now she confirmed the mistery she had, he was in love with her.
She reviewed every interaction they had, every exchange of looks and that weird scene they had in the laboratory.
"I don't forgive you, but I won't make this a worse thing than you already did, I'm better than that." Wednesday said.
"And there it is the superiority complex Addams..." Dante said with half a smile, because at the end, that was the closest thing he would get as a forgiveness.
"You owe me to make up to your mistake."

Wednesday/Enid room
Since Enid won, she's throwing a big party with almost everyone invited in Nevermore, the place was the Quad, even some families stayed for the event.
But Wednesday and Dante stayed inside, they kept wondering what would be the next move since they already know Tyler is the hyde.
"Did the sheriff find him?" Wednesday asked Dante, the only person near her who had contact with the sheriff, apparently he made a deal with him, Dante's last resort would be killing Tyler, as long as Donovan Galpin gave all the information he finds.
"No, he hasn't found anything related to his son, there's not a single camera in this entire town, he could be practically out." Dante said.
With that, Wednesday looked down in silence at Faulkner's diary, reading again and again information about the hyde.
But the silence was broken by the sound of a ringing phone, Dante pulled a phone from his pocket and showed to Wednesday the caller was the sheriff before answering.
"Yes?" Dante answered the phone.
He was sitting down normally, but as soon as Donovan starting talking his posture lowered down as he heard.
"Are you sure? You already looked everywhere?" Dante asked, his voice was one of confusion, there was no reason for what he was hearing.
Then he raised his eyes looking at Wednesday surprised before speaking again.
"Send them to me, I'll show them to her." Dante said as the call stopped and he immediately opened his phone, watching something.
"What is it?" Wednesday asked as she stood up to walk behind Dante, seeing the documents he was reading.
"Apparently Laurel Gates drowned during a trip, but her body was never found..."
"I'm saying Apparently because later the Gates property was bought by an old 90 woman who later died and gave all her property to a certain Teresa L.Glau." Dante said the quick resume he just got from Donovan.
"Anagram for Laurel Gates." Wednesday caught on fast what Dante was just about to tell her.
"You have any idea why she would come back here and use the Tyler?" Dante asked.
"My father killed, in self-defense I must clarify, Garrett Gates, and later a misfortune fell onto the family as everyone died, but apparently Laurel got lucky against fate." Wednesday said.
"Ok why I didn't know about anything of that?" Dante asked with a mix of confusion and annoyance, what shit did he skip to not know anything.
"Family matters, you did well for not involving yourself, you already know my family, they can be suffocating, and not in the good sense." Wednesday said as she looked away, her eyes fixated in nothing as she was only thinking.
"Now we know, but that doesn't mean we know where she is, the only thing we can do is..." Dante didn't finish his sentence, he knew the narcissistic and naive goth girl in front of him wouldn't like the end of the sentence.
"Wait for it." Wednesday said, her voice was thick with hate against the word "wait", afterall they've done just for them to need to wait for not a single lead or clue to follow.
Wednesday looked down, her face was already a paint that could only be described as one filled with hate or boredom for the regular life, but now it was even worse as she seemed that glass could shatter if she looked at it.
Dante frowned too, he also didn't want to wait when his familiy was out there lurking, surely waiting to strike and do something, something that had everything to do with him, and that also meant, with Wednesday.
'I can't leave her side until she's safe...' Dante thought, and as fast as that thought came, another too.
He immediately stood up from his chair, almost startling the goth girl who was losing herself on her own mind.
"Wednesday! If you're so worried about it, let's go out for ourselves and look for him." Dante said, thinking how this way Wednesday strange necessity was being soothed while he was able to protect her.
And for Nevermore? There's Enid and the others who could take care of the Tyler if he decided to attack while he was gone.
"..." Wednesday seemed to think about it for a second before looking at him.
"Let me look for Thing." She said as she got her backpack.
"Na na na!" Dant stopped her, putting both hands over her backpack.
"He's celebrating with Enid too, let's just slip away while no one's looking." Dante said, and now he felt like a teenager asking a girl out to a date without saying it's a date.
"..."
"Ok." Wednesday said, she actually wouldn't care to have some alone time with Dante, out of all the people, even in his strange way, he was the one who she could spent the most time without being annoyed.
"It's settled then!"
