"I wish I could tell you what I am. Some would say a fairy, a forest nymph, a mermaid, or even a demon. It's doesn't matter. All I know is that I'm not from this earth or even this universe. I didn't even know how I got here. Neither did Matthew, wh...

"Where are we again?" I yawned as we settled at a motel in the middle of nowhere. "Last I checked we're in the good 'ole state of Kansas." He mocked with a southern accent. We pulled the sheets up replacing them with our own and I flopped down in a tired heap. "Do we have to go all the way to California. I mean we're already so far from home. We haven't had any problems since and it's been almost three weeks." I complained playing with my necklace. "Well better safe than sorry." He said checking the windows and bathroom. He then laid next to me yawning as well, "I guess 14 hours of straight driving does give you jet lag." He rolled over laying on me. "Can't tell if I miss not being able to sleep or just hate being tired during the day." I kissed him as it was still a bright morning. I peppered him with kissing rolling over on top of him as he groaned tiredly. "Don't sleep on me now. I'm gonna get some ice and drinks." I got up leaving out. The motel felt almost deserted with a few single travelers communing. I went to the reception and noticed someone quietly arguing with the desk clerk. I tried not to be nosy but could tell he was negotiating something. I turned away to the ice machine before he noticed I was looking and could hear him leave the office. I then went to the clerk and bought a case of beer. He oddly averted his eyes from me but I didn't think anything of it. I came back putting the ice bucket and beers on the table, "Wasn't much of a selection but I saw an advertisement for a bar a few ways down." I called out only to turn around and see Matthew sound asleep. I sighed then crawled up next to him to get some rest as well.
I jumped awake from my sleep to the sound of loud knocking at the door. I looked up to see Matthew sitting up in tired confusion as the knocking continued. "Who is that?" I asked but he just shushed me getting up quietly. The aggressive knocking continued and I hid behind the bed. "Who is it?" Matthew called out. There wasn't a response as he nervously came to the door. He checked the peephole only to let out a sigh of relief and disbelief. "What the hell are you doing here Robert?" He cursed opening the door to see his brother. He nervously walked in glancing at me. "Hey I've been looking everywhere for you man." He scratched his head with a smile. "Really? You've been look all across the country for me?" Matthew gave a look of disdain. "Don't underestimate your own flesh and blood right?" He slapped his arm jokingly. Matthew didn't give into him crossing his arms. Robert then sighed finally coming clean. "Alright I was following you guys." He finally admitted. Matthew grew angry running his hands through his hair. "Why?" He shrugged, "You can't be doing this just because you want to make amends after almost 10 years." As Matthew said that Robert quickly glanced at me then sat down. "It's dad." His voice darkened. I sat by the window trying to hear their conversation as they sat outside. They were talking about their father almost seeming to actually make up. They came back in patting each other on the back. "Sorry to impose on you guys 'elopement'. I just couldn't let things stay sour. Especially with how better things kinda are right now." Robert apologized to me which I accepted. He then looked at both of us and then held his arms out. "Drinks?!"
