❝Who are you?❞
The eyes that stared back at him were a sea of black. A deep void without a hint of emotion, barring even the curiosity and hunger he had grown accustomed to. Although. . . the frequent feelings were to a different creature rather tha...

The entire trip had been, single-handedly, the most reckless thing Alex had ever decided to do and increasingly so.
Because after crossing state lines twice to a remote place with no one knowing where she was and the only telling note strictly demanding for the reader not to look for her, Alex had thought it to have been a decline. A break that would continue until she got home and even give her some time to rest with no one else none the wiser.

Eventually, it came to a stop as the land began a slight incline and though would've stalled right here with was, a lithe and long pale body jerked the gearshift until the vehicle was in park. A bump of her head turned the key in the ignition and subsequently, the engine off.
That was the second day.

Over the course of three days, there were moments when she regained consciousness, barely lucid as Ember tried to speak to her before she was out again.
It was Wednesday morning before she was fully awake and aware, the woman jolted from an unwilling slumber by the shrill ringing of her phone.
Her body worked on autopilot as she reached over to the centre console and picked up the vibrating device, eyes unfocused and brain sluggish as she answered.
