Chapter #13:Road Trip Day 1

        "Hey Jerrica, it's time for breakfast." Jarred said, waking me up.
        "Ugh! I'm not hungry." I responded.
        "Get your ass up." He proceeded to push me off the bed.
    I got up and sat on my bed to see a white plastic box. Jarred proceeded to hand it to me.
     "You need energy." He said.
    There were three pancakes. We ate while watching Big Hero Six, which was in Spanish. Some channels had it in English; we were too lazy to look. It was three o'clock in the morning. Jarred grabbed the car keys that appeared on the side table, and we were off. Why did I let a guy that just broke his ribs drive? I don't know...laziness. He told me that he was okay.
        "What happened when I was out?" He asked.
        "What do you remember last?" I asked.
        "I remember what had happened at the house, but then everything else is blank."
        "Well, Ezra got us to the hospital, and he knocked you out."
         "Oh shit."
         "I got a concussion when Peter captured Ezra."
         "He's strong, Jerrica."
         "That doesn't mean he won't get sick."
         "I know."
    We ran out of gas around Loreto. Jarred managed to find a gas station nearby.
        "I'll be right back." He jumped out of the car.
        "Okay." I followed and took my wallet. "Hey nerd, what do you want for snacks?"
        "Doritos." He screamed as I walked into the small store.
    The people suddenly snapped their heads toward me. I moved slowly back to the door. I opened it slightly.
        "Jarred, please come here! NOW!" I screamed.
    Jarred soon ran into the store.
        "Hey, What's up?" He questioned.
    I just gestured to the people with glowing purple eyes.
        "Holy Shit."He exclaimed.
        "We can take on all of them," I responded.
         "Yes, two versus six."
    While backing up, we both hit the door. I turned to see an empty hallway. I saw Ezra on the ground. I began to panic, and I turned him over to see a person with no face. I then heard a familiar voice.
        "You made Peter do this."
    I got up and grabbed Emily's neck. Everything went back to normal. Flames of anger came from my free hand. I put it to her chest. She then dropped to the ground. I somehow managed to dodge the next guy's flames. Jarred shot him a lightning bolt to the guy's chest. I put a surge to his chest as well.     
    One by one, we managed to get six of them down. By the end of it, we looked significantly beaten up.
        "Jerrica, we need to get them to the car," Jarred demanded.
    We managed to pile them in the back of my car before the police came. It only took another seven hours to get to the hotel. The people collected in the end didn't wake up until we drove into the hotel. Being rightfully scared, they were screaming. Jarred opened my trunk, and we were bombarded by six people freaking out. Jarred hugged the boy that attacked me with fire.
        "Babe?" He asked as he was moving his brown hair from his face.
        "Everyone, listen up!" I announced. "I know you all are extremely confused, and you will get answers later. Jarred and I have been traveling all day. We will get rooms; then you can ask questions."
    We all headed inside. Jarred paid for the hotel again. Everyone ran into my room. We each told our stories. Then I went to bed.
