We were miles from the hotel, and there was no turning back now. There was a G.P.S in the car, so I put in the address. It was in Texas, which was a really long drive. I turn to see Adam regaining his consciousnesses. He looks around, with a blank stare, and starts freaking out. "April! Where are we?!" " We are going to Texas. We are long ways though." "Why are we going to Texas?!?!" He was screaming at this point, but I still had no fury in my voice. I calmly explained what happened, my dream, but it seemed to make him even more mad. "So your going off of a dream? WE ARE GOING TO BE LOST FOREVER!" "If we weren't  suppose to go, then how did this letter get in my bag?" He just stared at me with an angered expression, so I looked forwards and just drove.  The last 3 hours was dead silent, until it was interrupted. "I need to use the bathroom, and I am starving." "Ok," I replied, "I think there is a McDonalds up here." We pulled into the parking lot, and parked our car in the back. We walk in, and it wasn't really that packed. Just a few people in the back booth. We ordered the food and sat by the window.  "So how far are we?" Adam asked as he opened his McChicken. "We still have a long ways to go." I reply. We didn't say anything else as we ate. I was about to say something when I had this really weird feeling. I look around the room to see all of the boys, to be specific,  staring at me. I told Adam, "Hey we need to go... Refill your drink, and go to the bathroom. Then  we will go." He looked at me with confusion, but I nudged my head to the guys. He looked up, then nodded. We did all that, then walked out the door. I looked at the booth. Empty. "Get in the car. Now." I whispered to Adam. We got in the car, I backed out of our spot, and sped out of the lot. We went on the highway when we saw four cars start to come behind us. The highway was empty, so no one was there to see if something happened. "Best hold onto your lunch!" I told Adam, then slammed my foot onto the gas peddle. The car screeched as it flew across the highway. The cars behind us sped up to catch up, but we shook them when we disappeared. Adam and I found an abandoned car lot, so we changed out. We found a red mustang. We loaded up our bags, then went on our way. With our luck the keys were in the riser. We got the G.P.S, because I had no idea where we were going. I had so much fun driving that car because I have never been able to drive any car besides a minivan until today. The fun ended when I head the engine of a car. I look in the rearview mirror and saw the four cars. Adam was asleep, so I stopped really hard. They flew past me, but when they realized what had happened, the did a donut and just stopped. "Adam... You might want to get up...." I said shaking him until his face was white with fear. " April... What are you doing?" I stuck my head out of the window and yelled at the top of my lungs, "CHICKEN!" I slammed my foot so hard on the peddle, it was numb for a second. We went flying towards the cars as they came towards us. Adam was in shotgun screaming. I was screaming, "WOHOO!!!" The cars swerved out of the way as the mustang flew past like the bullet. I just kept driving, along the G.P.S route. "We almost died you know," Adam said with little shake in his voice. "But we didn't," I said back. We listened to the radio, and I knew almost all the songs. We ended up in a cheep motel for the night. In the morning, I woke up before Adam so I took a shower. When I got out, I changed into a shirt that had a turtle on it. It was a crop top, so I wore some white shorts. I put my hair into a ponytail, and after, put my makeup on. I walked out to see a mad with a mask holding Adam with a gun to his head. "Are you April?" He asked. " Who's asking?" " I can't say," he said in a deep voice. All of the sudden another man popped out behind me and put a gun up to my head. " Have you told her what Cody wants?" "YOU DUMB.... We aren't suppose to say his name!" "Whops..." "Anyway, he wants you to come to him. Do you understand how long it took us to find you?" I was starting to think of a plan when I heard someone whisper in my head. " Hold your breath!" It started to fade, but I didn't think twice. I took a deep breath when a smoke bomb came rolling into the room. I couldn't see anything, so I dropped onto the ground. I crawled to the door, and continued to crawl outside. II saw Adam coughing by the mustang. I took a breath of relief, thinking we were safe. All that went away when my eyes happened toll upon the four cars. I ran to Adam, and hugged him. "Are you alright? I thought you didn't make it!" "Yea, I'm fine," he said with a cough. I looked to the door, with a smoke outline, swing open. four men with full out gasmasks and bulletproof vests come out of the room, too of them have the men who had the guns over their shoulders. They put the men in a trunk, then they all walked over to me. "Are you alright?" one asked, with the gasmask still on. I just stared at him, with a terrified look. "We aren't going to hurt you. I mean, we just saved your live!" another one  said. " Dude! Let her calm down and proses what's going on!" The first one said. I just stood there, shaking out of fear. Adam stepped up, "Why are you following us?" The man in the very back stepped to the front of the three guys. "April, did you get an envelope like this?" He reached into his pocket, and pulled an envelope with black writing on it. "It has an address, to Texas." I nodded my head slowly. "And let me guess. You had a dream about a dead loved one too?" With this sentence he had a little shake in his voice. I nodded my head again. "Ok. What do you say we go together?" "I-I- I don't even know you," I say. "Ok then. Let me introduce myself." He took off his mask to revel his blue eyes. He had short brown hair that was a little bit everywhere. "My name is Shawn. I wanted to ask you where you where going back at McDonalds, but I guess we spooked you. I am very sorry about that." I had no idea what to say, so I just looked at him. I had a really bad feeling in my stomach, so I slowly moved to the driver's side of the car. "You are not going to get away that easy!" Shawn said. He started to run towards me, so I jumped into the car. Adam was already in the car, so I just drove as fast as I could. I then realized that we had left our things at the hotel, but we couldn't go back. " So, what now?" Adam asked. " We keep going. Don't stop unless it is a deathly emergency," I reply. So that's just what we did. We stopped only eight times, which is really surprising. On our way, got food, which was one of our stops. I would check my mirrors every once in a while to make sure nobody was following us.  As Adam and I were diving, I noticed we were only a few hours away from our destination. I was really anxious to see what was at the end of the rainbow. All I could think was only a few hours... 3. Then it will be over.... I will find out what my sister was holding for us and it will all be over and done.. No more pain or suffering. I can't wait to see... It will all be over....
