We were driving past the bushes.
1 hour.
2 hours.
4 hours.
❛ Why aren't we there yet? ❜ Hazel asked, her voice laced with impatience. ❛ This google map is useless. ❜ I kept driving when I noticed the same tree I just crossed.
❛ I'm so tired. ❜ Allen huffed as if he dragged the car all the way. ❛ For god's sake, Allen, I'm the one who's driving past four hours.❜
❛ And never reaching. ❜ Tiara peeped out from the chips packet she was basically chewing.
I tried focusing on driving again when I noticed the same wood carving that I saw a while ago. I heard the noise of a door creak and Tiara was out.
God, I should have locked the door. Everyone shrieked and I stopped the car.
❛ You jumped out of a running car! ❜ Hazel shouted, I sighed. I knew nothing was going to change her impulsive mind.
She remained quiet and I could sense something wrong. Allen shook her.
❛ Tiara, you alright? ❜
❛ Of course! You should have locked the door, Ver. ❜ ❛ Oh, that animal would have escaped otherwise ❜, which is what happened.
❛ Shut up, guys. Look at this place. We're riding through the same place since past few hours. ❜ The last person whom I expected sensibility from, showed some. Thanks, Allen.
Hazel put hands in her pocket and started strangling the lyrics,
❛ What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me? What are you wondering? What do you know? ❜
❛ Hazel, this place is already eerie enough. We don't need Billie Eilish. ❜ I said, my voice calm enough to shut her up. I knew she was scared but her consolation route was scarier for us.
We looked around in search of any name of the anonymous place. Abruptly, an arrow brushed past Hazel's earrings when Allen dodged her.
A man with broad shoulders and bowl of eyes forwarded while we all backed off, everyone behind my poor soul ushering me to fight with the giant. He was beautiful though.
Hazel jumped from our weak train. She walked slowly towards the bulging figure and faintly whispered out her favorite words.
❛ What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me? What are you wondering? ❜
Tiara pushed me and went forward.
❛ Why the hell were you both suppressing me? I'll fight this freak! ❜
❛ That is why! ❜ Allen and I spoke out at the same time, terrified of what the enemy-freak would do to this freak.
The giant looked at Hazel closely, ignoring Tiara's revolutionary protests. She remained petrified still chanting her Billie Eilish songs as if he would answer her questions.
❛ I don't want anything from you. You have nothing to run away from, you are a beautiful little girl. I'm wondering what are you all doing here. ❜ which is what he did.
Tiara also stopped her protests. God, we were so drained.
