Day ??

- Don't worry, she won't come back. - Henry tried to calm his girlfriend down. They were getting ready to leave, this time with a fifth seat filled. Matteo limited himself to his sighs to express how exhausted and fed up he was with all of this.

- Don't be limiting, the chances are low but never zero. - Ethan conspired, who was now devouring a sandwich with meat, which he knew probably came from the bodies of his predecessors. Besides, he had shown himself to be someone much more logical and experienced than the rest of the group.

- Guys, calm down. - Amelie didn't like the tension that existed between her boyfriend and the new member of the trip. However, she felt safe around the new man and thought that he could be another important member. Luna had fallen asleep inside the car while Matteo did a basic check-up.

After Amelie's words, a silence softened the friends, now they could hear the howling of the wind. They would soon enter a new season of the year, there was less than a month and a half left until autumn. The clothes they had stolen from the twins would not be enough, the three men would need clothes to last through the winter and the clothes they had found from the twins' previous victims were almost all warm-weather clothes.

-It's okay, we can leave. - The gasoline they had managed to get would allow them to continue their journey along the road without any problems. A smile lit up Amelie who loved the smell that the dew left in the forest that surrounded that secondary road.

They all got into the car, with Theo in the driver's seat, Ethan on the passenger seat and Henry in the back seat with his girlfriend and Luna. The curly-haired man's foot found the accelerator and they soon left that disturbing place. Matteo thought about everything Luna had told him during that early morning.

The little girl had not slept at all that night and was still in her seventh sleep at that time, when the sun had already risen and they had just left. The road up until then had been very difficult and none of them could have any idea of ​​what might await them soon.

-Uhh, you didn't say where you came from... - Henry tried to make conversation with the older man who was now leaving with them. He was in good physical shape even after all those cuts, he had a scar on his lip that seemed to be older, his voice was mysterious and somehow, he used a perceptive tone to make himself heard.

-I don't need to say it, anyway, my hometown is Alabama. Is that all you want to know? - The man's dry tone made it possible to hear Henry snort, who adjusted himself in the seat so he could see the man better.

-Actually, I think you should talk more about yourself, it's weird to go on a car trip with someone you don't know. - Ethan laughed slightly ironically before continuing the conversation. Matteo, who was next to him, made fun of Henry's curiosity.
