TRANSCENDENTAL. (The remake!)

Memories die.

Whilst in the car, lena starts putting on bandages on, as Anthony starts changing the one on his nose, winching as he takes the stitches out.
"I didn't expect it to be a pagan god."
Lena says, smiling and laughing a bit.
"We just killed a god."
Anthony laughs, placing a butterfly bandaid on his forehead as there was a gasp left by the god.

'I walk the line' by Johnny Cash played on the radio as Anthony hummed to it, finally taking the stitches out from his nose.
He threw them in a bag as he placed it in the middle.
"Why-?"
"Before you ask, I don't litter.. I wait until I find a trash can. Take care of the world, it takes care of you. Same goes with animals, not exactly.. But it's good karma."
Lena hummed as she sips from her strawberry water.. It was just water with strawberry's in it.
She wanted a little kick in her water.

When Lena finished patching herself up, she takes out her map as she used one hand to do so, the other had stitches in it.
She marks down a motel as Anthony checks it, starting the engine completely as he starts driving off.

They made it to the motel as they payed, walking into their room, placing their bags down.
"Hey ant.. Do you like your car better, or me?"
".... Nothing's more important to me than my baby sister!"
"THAT TOOK WAY TOO LONG TO ANSWER! I'm going to sleep!!"
Lena yelled as Anthony laughed, going over to her.
"Are you getting sulky?"
"No!"
"cmon, I was joking!"

Anthony struggles to get the blanket off of lena, as she giggles, struggling to keep the blanket covering her face.
When ant got the blanket uncovered from her face, Lena jumps up and grabs ants arms, struggling to throw him onto the ground.
Anthony starts laughing, play fighting with Lena as Lena huffs.
"You need to sleep!"
"Ah, I can wait."
"I'm distracting you!"
"My sister isn't gonna be a distraction, they're gonna be the reason why I'm working."
Anthony smiles as Lena huffed again, sitting up on her knees as she grabs a pillow with one of her free hands, throwing it at Anthony as he scoffed.

"oh?"
Lena starts giggling, unable to restrain the laughs leaving her.
Anthony grabs a pillow from his bed as they start throwing them at eachother, pillow fighting as they start laughing.
"GO TO.. SLEEP!"
Lena hit Ant hardly with the pillow as he stumbled, giggling as he caught himself.
"Absolutely not."
Anthony replies, lightly hitting lena with the pillow as she laughs uncontrollably.

Lena jumps in and grabs ants arms, keeping him from using the pillow again.
They struggle like this for a while before ant stops, grabbing Lena's face.
"Wait.. Lena."
"What?"
"do you smell that??"
Anthony says, looking around as he looked worried.
"Sulfur??"
"No.."
Anthony walks out as smoke seemed to be forming, Lena followed him as she looked around as well.

Lena turns and sees the smoke coming from a room, then she turns her head to face ant.
"It's coming from here.."
She turns the knob as ant yelled.
"No lena!! Don't touch that! Get away from it!!"
Anthony ran and tackled lena as fire furiously left the room, almost in an explosion, then the two hunters hit the walk as Lena rubbed her head.
Anthony panted heavily as his eyes were wide.
People were leaving the motel as they both left.
Lena talked to the owner.

"You're not gonna sue me are you?"
"No, no.. Not at all, it wasn't your fault."
"I can give you your money back, just please don't sue me."
"No no! It's okay sir, we're okay!"
Lena smiles as she turns to Anthony who was leaning up against his car.
"Let's ride, before cops show up."
Ant blankly stares out to the woods.. Then he turns to lena.
"Yeah.."
They get in the car as they start driving away.
"There should be a motel around the city over 6 miles.. Should we head there?"
Lena turns to ant, who had that blank expression on again, which scares lena.

"Anthony?"
Lena says, trying to get ant have any reaction, but nothing.
She grabs the wheel as she turns it to the grass, yelling at ant to stop the car.

The car stops as ant sighs, covering his face.
"What's up with you?"
"nothing.. I'm fine."
"no you're not."
"I am.."
Ant turns to lena as he sighs.
"It was because of that fire, wasn't it..?"
Anthonys eyes went wide as he looked to lena, then he leaned his head down, covering it with his hand as he sighed again.
"I was.. I was just scared it would take you away from me.."
"Why? We've done worse."

Anthony sighed as he looked to lena, tears pricked his eyes as he bit his lip.
"when you were still a toddler.. Our house was really bad.. And the electricity was really bad, so a fire started. It was a really big fire too, and me still being a kid, I dragged you out of that fire, only for me to go back in and get mom and dad. You probably don't remember that, and I don't want you to.."
Anthony looked down as he ran a hand through his hair.
Lena looked to ant in shock, not remembering most of it, she remembers the house.. But not the fire.

"Well.. That day won't be soon. We're very young, dying is off the charts for us."
"It's a possibility, bean."
"Still.. We'll be there. For eachother."
Lena smiles as ant looked to her, smiling at the person he saved, the person he took care of.
His sister.

He starts the car again as they made their way to another motel, actually reading the reviews this time, sleeping in.
They usually don't, but they felt as if they deserve a break after what had happened.
