I could feel him watching me.
I couldn't see him, but I sure as hell could feel his gaze on the back of my head. At some point in my sleep, I had turned onto my side, so that I was facing the seat. I had been awake for approximately an hour. I had gotten good at counting the time as the years in captivity had gone by.
He was just staring at me, not moving a muscle, his breathing inaudible. My eyes were open, staring at the black fabric of the seat, but he couldn't see that side of me.
I had to make a plan of action. Did I go with him? Or do I try and make a run for it? Either way had it's cons.
But which was had more?
There were so many questions running through my head.
After a while I decide to get some rest. Might as well replenish my supply of energy before I make any decisions.
And soon, I'm back asleep, feeling the man's gaze on me more than ever.

(Loki)
She had woken up at one point, and stayed that way for a little more than an hour. She had turned at one point in her slumber so that she was facing the seat, her arms huddled against her chest.
I watched her as she slept, and as she lay there awake. I dared not take my eyes off her, case she do something rash. She held a lot of power in her two fragile hands.
And a lot of stupidity too.
For all I knew, she'd try to jump out of the car as we drove over the normal speeds of the other cars and kill herself. Or she'd try to lash out at me, which was an even worse idea.
She tried to pretend that she was still sleeping, but her body had grown rigid and her breathing had become ragged. I was no idiot.
After she had fallen back asleep, I transformed her clothes into something a little more comfortable, and I let her hair down.
She looked peaceful when she slept. Soon, she wouldn't get any sleep at all.
She'd have an army to lead.
