"Right, she'll be safe. My little sister will be safe."
The Rogers family, after having driven an endless amount of miles and for approximately over four hours, are forced to pull to a gas station in the middle of a county. Every member family steps out of the truck, looking around. It is oddly quiet and empty, yet again, the gas station seems to be an addition to this endless field.
Believing no one is nearby, the two kids start to gradually drift away from the vehicle. It isn't long before Duck screams out for miles.
They all turn to find a man, who seems to be one of the locals, attempting to grab the boy, his movements sluggish and uncanny.
Kenny: "Get off him, you asshole!"
Kenny strikes the man across the face with a punch, and grabs his son. He takes a second to notices that there is indeed something unusual about the stranger... or more like it was a monster; covered in blood and scratches, like it was mauled by an animal. Somehow it was still alive— well at least they think it was alive.
Kenny: "Holy shit, Katjaa. I-I thought he was gonna kidnap Duck. I— what's happening?"
Katjaa walks over to Kenny's side and looks at the man on the ground, her eyes widening.
Katjaa: "What is that?"
Kenny: "It's definitely not a man..."
His niece comes up from behind, her eyes furrowing at the sight. She had experience with dead animals, but not necessarily dead bodies. It's something new, something startling, yet it can be something interesting.
Y/N: "Kenny, what happened to him?"
Kenny: "Nothing sweetheart, go inside the truck. Both you and Duck. Go."
The two children end up walking back to the truck. Through the window of the car, they can see the scene. The man, or monster, suddenly jolts up from the ground, as if he was resurrected, and starts to rush towards Kenny.
Kenny: "Oh shit! Go, Katjaa, go!"
Katjaa runs off to the truck and quickly pushes the keys into the holder, turning the engine on. She rolls down the window.
Katjaa: "Kenny, come on!"
Kenny runs back to the truck, switching seats with his wife, and starts driving to an unknown location. A bit after their little road trip of seeing bodies all over the road, his niece begins to question again.
Y/N: "Kenny, are we going to get my mom?"
Kenny: "I don't know sweetheart, your mom told me to take you to somewhere safe. Away from the city."
Katjaa: "Kenny, where are we going?"
Kenny: "We're heading to Lauderdale, hope this will be sorted out soon."
Y/N: "Isn't that in Florida?"
Kenny: "Yes."
Katjaa: "Kenny, are you sure? That's very far for a drive."
Kenny: "Yes, Katjaa. I need to keep these kids safe. I promise my sister."
