"Hana put on a good song pleaseee" Alani exclaimed 

Man kids just don't know Doja was that heat.

"Fine" I said

I smirked as she listened to her more modernized artist 2020 was quite the year, so many cool artist were on the rise. 

Atlanta wasn't too far now and that's good my butt was starting to hurt. Makani was in the back with Aya I could tell he was still pissed at her, shit I don't blame him i'd probably take a month to talk to her again what if they would've died that would have been on her completely.

Aya hasn't said a word really, the tension was becoming awkward for me. I turned down the song just a little.

"Hey!!" Alani exclaimed. 

I looked at Aya "do you want to play something", I said 

Alani looked back to and for a moment I made eye contact with Makani and gave him a slight smile.

"what if her playlist is straight ass" Alani said 

"Lani hush" 

Aya stared for a while Makani looked like he wanted to say something before Aya said, "sure" 

She handed me her playlist "Alright let's see what you got"

Meanwhile in Nalani's car...

These kids are super quiet and Abeni went to sleep maybe I should make conversation 

"So... Azami it was right?"

She looked to me, "Yes" she smiled at me 

"and your name is Nalani" She said

"Yes" I said smiling

"So were you guys from North Carolina?" I asked

"No we were originally from Ireland we moved around alot between England we even stayed in Australia for a while" she said

Ahhh that's the accent I was hearing. 

"Woah you guys have been everywhere basically, why America though?"

She looked at me with a somber smile,"We were kind of pushed out like in America the soldiers are pretty brutal but in ireland they wanted to push any marked ones to America it was the agenda".

I looked at her,"I'm Sorry"

"it's fine it's not like there was any brightsides anywhere we went marked ones would have been hated". 

That's true everywhere we are neglected, abuse and killed sucks to be different.

"Well now you are with us we are determined to make a change for sure" 

"Thank you guys for taking us in I don't know what would've happened on our own". She looked at me with sad eyes

"Don't worry you guys are family now" I smiled Abeni finally woke up she sat in the back with Azami so they didn't feel alone.

Abeni gave her blanket to Azami and the kids, I think they will be good friends it's nice Abeni has someone her age to talk to.

We were getting close to Atlanta when there was lightning we saw in the sky near us it was big but the weirdest part was it was red. 

Slowly a group of people came on to the highway  something was slowing our car. I met the eyes of an Metal user right in front of my car.

Abeni got out and so did I, Alani, Hana, and Makani.

Abeni spoke with a conjured voice and glowed eyes, "What Do You Want?"

A small girl approached, "The Question is What Do You Want?" 

The girl looked about 12, with white freckles she was short Abeni was slightly taller than her 

She looked like she couldn't hurt a fly but the look in her eyes said otherwise.

The metal user spoke, " Who are you and why are you coming into Atlanta OUR territory"

"We're looking for the marked ones that are grouping together" I said they looked at each other

"We heard there was salvation here and security for Marked Ones and it seems you guys are marked too why attack your own?"

"You do know legion has some Marked Ones as dogs promising them salvation at the cost of their freedom"The Metal User said.

"We are the ones you speak of the Marked Ones that are grouping together", A girl said they all looked at her like she wasn't supposed to say that.

"How many are there of you?" Makani said 

"And why would we tell you that" the short girl said

They were all very defensive which is understandable they don't know us and were just walking on their land. 

A man walked onto the highway he was older than us all like maybe 30 he looked to be their leader," Come with me" he said 

We stared at him for a while no one moved we don't know this man or these people to just follow them.

"What are you waiting for?" you wanted to meet the Marked Ones grouping up 

But this is what we came to atlanta for. 

"Fine we'll follow close behind we'll be in our cars" I said

"Fin-"

"Why the hell are we taking them in" The metal User said

"Because I said so and I make the rules" The man said 

I looked at him with a smug smile and he scowled back

"Im Derek, that's Mikkel, Cara and Amalia"

They all walked off the highway to a car, I hope this is somewhere we can stay for a longtime safe I don't know if we can trust them though. They came back on the highway and we followed behind them.

"Watch them closely" Lani shouted

We looked like we had the same idea.
