Ren and I had been driving for a total of five minutes when I realised I was out in the open, I was in a care yes but still in the open, I needed a disguise of some sort. "Hey do you have a pair of sunglasses or a hat or something", I asked, trying not to sound suspicious. Ren looked at me quizzically before answering. "Uh, no, why, are you on the run or something?" He laughed when he said this but there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice. I kept my eyes looking straight ahead, my face a mask of an unreadable emotion. "Yes", I replied. Ren stomped his foot on the brake and turned to look at me, I couldn't help but smile. "Relax Ren I'm no fugitive on the run" I said with enough nonchalance that Ren smiled and gave a nervous laugh. I liked his laugh, then I thought about how Ren would react if I told him the truth. "Hey I actually escaped a crazy facility that did crazy experiments on me and other kids and I am currently on a wild goose chase to find a group of strange teenagers in the woods because they are like me and by like me I mean can do crazy ass stuff that you can't even begin to imagine". Ya he would probably jump out the window and run as fast as his lanky legs could carry him. I mean I wouldn't blame him, then that got me thinking, how would everyone react when this got out, because it would get out? Would they welcome us with open arms and plaster our faces on every news article or would they banish us and call us the children of Satan or some shit like that, I mean maybe we are who knows.
After finding a hat and a questionable pair of sunglasses, I decided to close my eyes for a second. When was the last time I had a proper sleep I thought to myself. I could barely sleep in the woods without jumping at every sound thinking it was some predator or worse, someone from the facility coming to take me back or feeling sticks and rocks sticking into my back while lying on the floor or insects crawling on my body. Maybe if I close my eyes for a minute I'll feel better, that was my last thought before falling into a deep slumber.
