William R. Fairchild International Airport, 6:30 a.m.

Five hours and 3 movies later, my feet can't wait to touch the ground again. As soon as we're off of the plane, I feel like kissing the ground and swearing to never leave it again.

“Ground! Gorgeous and beautiful ground! I will never underestimate you again!”

Isaac laughs at me “People are starting to stare Mace.”

“Fine.” I teasingly pout at him

“I have to be at front of the airport for my cab in 20 minutes, think you can find your car yourself?”

I huff and wave him off “Yes, I'm not totally incapable of things you know.”

“That's my girl. I love you. Call me when you get settled okay?” He pecks me on the cheek and walks away.

Holy crap this airport is huge. Where the hell am I going?

I gag a little as I pass by a set of bathrooms. Maybe heightened senses aren't always a good thing.

I stop by a security guard and give in to asking for help.

“Ma'am, can you tell me where the cars are? I need to get mine, but I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing.”

She walks over closer to me, I can smell a musky kind of perfume around her.

“That's quite alright honey, I'll take you down that way.”

After a few minutes of walking, she stops and gestures at the seemingly small parking lot before us.

“You're vehicle should be here. Have a nice day Hon!” She starts walking away when she says “You have beautiful eyes by the way, so pretty.”

I remember mumbling what sounded like a thanks before I trudged into the lot.

Keys, keys, keys. Oh yeah!

Reaching into my pocket, I manage to pull out my keys, and click the beeper. It goes off in the far left corner of the lot. Loving this hearing advantage! Haha!

Within minutes, I've entered the address into my gps and am on the road.

30 minutes away from the reservation, it starts raining. Let me rephrase that, pouring.

“Damn rain, nobody told me it was gonna be such crappy weather.” I mumble to myself, turning up the radio to distract from the sound of the drops hitting my windshield relentlessly.

7:55 a.m.5 minutes from the reservation

I glance down at my dashboard as the car starts to sound funny. “What the hell? I just got a maintenance check on this thing 2 weeks ago! Come on baby, you can make it. Not much longer.”

I start praying to whatever deity may be listening at the time. I just needed my car to last a little longer. Until I could get someone to fix it for me.

Apparently prayer wasn't going to work. The car continued its awful grinding sound and then slowly halted to a stop. I dropped my head onto the steering wheel, sending the horn blaring before I jerked it back up.

Fuck. Here I was, stuck in the middle of a damn forest, with nobody to help me, and a dead car. I check my cell to see if I can make a call, no reception. How convenient.

I step out of my car into the still pouring rain, and open the hood.

Oil is okay, water level is okay. So it's obviously not my radiator, or the engine. Maybe it's a fluke. I come back around and press the start button, and the car stays dead.

Great, just great. I have a dead battery, and nobody is going to come out in this weather and happen to have jumper cables.

With no choices left, I start walking, cursing my entire situation on the way.

At some point, I started kicking the trees lining the road, and felt no remorse as some of the smaller ones toppled over. Ticked would be an understatement at the way I felt. I was a whirlwind of emotions, and now wasn't the time for my car to die.

I felt like I was going to break, literally. I mentally gripped myself and started controlling my breathing.

Before I know it, I'm standing at the welcome sign for the reservation. That was definitely not five minutes...
