"I thought we had like 5 days?" Callista scratches her head as she starts to regret sending Clyde off sith the others.
Zisha replies, saying "I thought so too... I'm really not sure why I'm awake so early"

"The zombits are asleep, this is gonna be easy!" Salmon says, to which Clyde smiles and nods confidently.
Cyra nervously pulls out her phone and asks Alhena to call her mom. She gets excited and immediately says yes.
"Cyra?"
"CYRA'S MOM!! YOU'RE ALIVE!!! CYRAAAA SHE'S ALIVEEEE"
Cyra breathes out a sigh of relief and smiles as she continues to drive.
"Uhmm, who is this?"
"THIS IS ALHENAAAA!! CYRA'S FRIENDDDD!!!!"
"Oh- nice to meet you!"
"WE'RE COMING TO RESCUE YOU MAAM DONT WORRYYYYY"
Cyra shouts to the phone "Mom, we're on our way to Tladze right now!"
The whole crew could hear Seara letting out a small chuckle. "I love you, Cyra" she says before the call ends.
Krillstel gets teary-eyed and Lurky notices. He asks if she's okay and she explains that she's just happy to see a mother-daughter relationship like that.
Salvatore on the other hand is sitting on the roof. Being alone with his thoughts is not a good idea.
He hears a very faint voice in his head, but it's incoherent. His head starts throbbing so he puts his palms on his forehead.
Suddenly he could feel the throbbing travelling from his head, to his neck, and eventually to his arms. He looks at his arms and could see that his veins are very prominent. Not only that, but a dark color has taken over.
The throbbing, the dark color, and the prominent veins reach his two hands, causing him to slam his palms on to the roof.
Everyone inside hears this so Clyde opens the window and takes a peek up. "CLYDE, BE CAREFUL!" Krillstel's eyes widen as Clyde pulls his whole torso out.
He struggles to stay still due to the speed of the car, but thankfully Lurky and Salmon are holding his legs from the inside.
"YO!" Clyde throws a cloud at Salvatore, who is unfazed. "Okay ra ka?" Clyde speaks, only to realize that Salvatore probably does not understand his mother tounge.
"I MEAN- ARE YOU OKAY?"
Salvatore only lets out his claws with a small growl, putting holes into the roof of the car. Clyde goes back down after seeing that, scared for his life.
"Wha- hey!" Cyra notices this and complains. Her car just got damaged, who wouldn't complain? She stops the car but as she's about to get out, Salvatore speaks.
"KEEP DRIVING!" he screams, and they could all notice another voice overlapping his normal voice. A deep, raspy voice.
"Why? Something's wrong with you Sal! Gotta check up on you before we continue our journ-" Alhena chuckles light-heartedly, but her face drops quickly.
"JUST GO!" Salvatore doesn't sound like himself anymore. The deep voice has fully taken over, and it scares the others.
Salvatore is struggling to even breathe at this point as a dark black hue takes over his arms and forehead. On the same places, his veins pop, which look weird as they are way more prominent than usual. His claws are scraping the roof of the car as drool drips from his lips.
