The Hunted

Thunder

The roar of the 1969 Mustang roared down the highway in the early morning sun light. Orion and Astrid could be seen in the two front seats. They were not talking, not yet anyway. Still at those awkward moments that happened sometimes after they could have been killed by a monster. This time was different though, they had finally shown how they felt about each other, what they felt at the moment of that kiss was indescribable to them and then to have it be interrupted by blood sucking monsters and they could have died too. It made the moment a little stranger than normal. Orion removed one of his hands from the wheel and reached into the small console in between the seats and pulled out an ACDC CD, a live album. Astrid watched with curiosity as he put the CD into the stereo and turned the volume up. The start of Thunderstruck could now be heard, getting louder. Orion began to chant along with the song,

"Ahh ahhhahh ahh ahh ahhhhh!" the song was now blasting through the car as shot down the highway. Astrid could not help herself, she started to smile a little.

"Come on!" Orion shouted to her over the music giving her a nudge.

"THUNDER!" they both yelled out with the song.

"THUNDER!" and again in time with the song, both of them now smiling as they sang with the song. The silence was broken now by an eruption of music, both of them smiling having a good time together as the early morning sun continued to rise over them in the distance. One day they would find out the hard way why in this line of work, good times could not be affordable, the focus had to be on the job, saving people from the horrid creatures that lurked in the shadows waiting for blood of the innocent. One day they would be the ones in the shadows searching for the blood of the monsters. One day...........
