Dreaming the truth

chapter four

"You two are the slowest people I know." Fox joked as they hopped into the truck.

I blushed. "Sorry. Karie here," i looked at my sister, "couldn't make up her mind on what to wear."

Karie opened her mouth to object. "Oh it's MY fault? what about you taking off your make up and redoing it five hundred times?"

I blushed. "and?"

Karie rolled her eyes and looked out the window.

"so. where are we going?" I asked Fox. we were currently driving down 46th street.

Fox smiled. "You'll see when we get there."

I rolled my eyes and flopped backwards in the passenger seat. We continued the car ride in complete silence for about five minutes before I switched on the radie, scanning through the channels.

"Why cant they play anything decent?" I huffed, searching around the truck.

"What are you looking for?" Fox asked.

I looked at him. "my Set The World On Fire cd. I cant seem to find it..." I continued to search through the vehical.

I soon found it hiding underneath my seat and quickly popped it into the cd player, turning the volume to about 25, which was pretty loud but not loud enough to kill us.

I started singing when New Religion came on. "GRAB YOUR WEAPONS NOW!" I sang. Karie burst out singing with me and Fox smiled.

********

We had listened to the whole album and was now listening to Fallen Angels for the second time, when we pulled into a driveway.

I switched off the music and looked around. "Where are we?" I asked.

Fox smiled and got out of the truck, coming around and helping me out of the truck. I took in my surroundings as he went to the cab for somehing. we were standing in the middle of a forest, a single cabin standing out. there was a lake nearby and a zipline, which lookdd pretty cool.

"We came to a cabin?" Karie asked, appearing beside me.

I looked at Fox in confusion when he reappeared with suitcases. he nodded. "We're on vacation." he smiled.

I looked at him. Vacation? but I needed to get to work....

"Dont worry. i called your job and they said they would find some one to cover your shift for the week." Fox said.

"A Week?" i asked as Karie went to the cabin.

he nodded. "Yes. a week. you need to get away from work every now and then." Fox grinned, dragging our luggage to the cabin. I sighed and followed, getting a luggage from the cab.

once we entered the little house, i stood at the door looking around me. it was a beautiful place.

"Karie, you sleep in here." Fox said, dragging her stuff into a room. Karie sighed and followed. I couldn't help but to follow.
