✯ North Star ✯

Part 20

Pope starts driving back to the cross. We all tried to drive but he threatened us if we wouldn't let him
"Uh Pope you're driving really fast" I say
Pope just howls like a wolf
"Pope last to judge but I think you should slow down a little" JJ says
"That would definitely delay our arrival to the cross. We gotta get there" Pope says
"Why did we let him drive again?" Kie asks us
"Because I said I'd rip your ears off" Pope tells her
"I was joking about that by the way" Pope tells us
"That's a really funny joke" Kie scoffs
"Hey how ya feeling buddy? How ya doing?"
John B asks him
"Uh fantastic. I don't know what JJ's cousin gave me but I am moving" Pope says
"We couldn't tell" Kie tells him
"Okay well um you're going really fast right now" John B says.
"Yeah really fast!" Pope says turning to look at John b
We all yell as he swerves out on the line
"Whoa whoa!" JJ yells
Pope attempts to pass a car in front of us but another car is coming from the opposite way
"You don't need to pass. You don't need to pass" Kie says
We all yell as Pope barely misses a car
"What an asshole right?" Pope says
"Pope he's going the speed limit" Kie says
"We're not gonna get to the cross if we're dead
Pope" John B says
"We're not gonna die. It's our divine right to get that cross" Pope tells him
"Pope! Look at the road!" John B yells as pope clips the back of a truck. We spin out of control and end up smashing into a tree

"Is everyone okay?" John B asks
"Oh ow. Uhh yeah I think so" I answer
"Never better. That is the last time you drive Pope." JJ says getting out of the car
"My dad's truck! No!" Kie says looking at it
"Kie one word. Totaled" JJ says
"My parents are gonna kill me for real this time" Kie tells us
"Yeah well weren't they already gonna do that anyway?" JJ asks
"Not helping" I mumble
"So helpful. Thank you" Kie says
"We're gonna have to walk the rest of the way"
Pope tells us
"Dude" I say
"I'm going to get my cross" Pope tells us
"Hey just relax for a second." John b stops him
"Get off of me" Pope says
"No. I'm trying to help" John B says
"Move I'm getting my cross" Pope tells him
"We just crashed the car. I'm trying to watch out for you. Hey! No!" John b yells as he starts to walk off
"Pope! Pope!" Kie yells
"There's a truck coming," John B tells us
"Get off of me!" Pope yells
"You're gonna get hit by a car" John B says
When the truck passes we see Renfield in the passenger's seat.
"We gotta get back to the church!" Pope yells as we all take off running

Once we get there pope opens the door and of course the cross is gone.
"It's gone" Kie sighs
"Damn it! I knew I didn't hide it well enough! Damn it!" JJ yells kicking the cushions
"Okay. What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? Okay think think think. We need a plan. We need a plan. What's the plan? All right here's what we do. We'll grab some kerosene tanks from the Chat then we... we go to my dad's shop and grab some dynamite. And then we drive down to Charleston and tell this lady who she's messing with! Because this is some bullshit y'all!" JJ yells
"That's not gonna help" I say
"Well what is Ella?" JJ asks me
"I'm thinking okay? We can't just go blow shit up JJ." John b tells him
"Pope I'm sorry" JJ says
