Five's Fate

Destinations

Eventually, I hear things being packed around me and doors closing and another vehicle driving off. Others get into the one I'm in and soon were off. I can't lie to myself that I'm not scared and I just keep reminding myself that John said to keep quiet and do as I was told. So I did so. We started driving and I heard commotion and conversations but it was muffled by the bag around my head. I soon fell asleep to the movement of the car. I was just waiting for us to get where we were going. As if I even wanted to know.

I wake up and I'm still in the car. I don't know how long I was asleep but I just try to keep calm. But at one point we suddenly stop. I hear voices. The doors open and the others get out. I make out John's voice along with Nines and Marinas. And there are others who I guess to be Sam and Six. Their talking about me. Someone said I was quiet the whole ride and I can hear that that makes other people happy. At least I did that right.

Then the sack is pulled off my head and one of my arms is released from where it was chained. I'm handed some fast food. Just fries and a burger and I finally notice it's John. I say "Thanks" and he nods and returns to the others who I see through the open door.

Finally, I can see and I realize I'm riding in a minivan crowded with bags. Ahead there is another van a replica to this one. I notice staring eyes telling me to stop looking around and just eat the food. So with my one free hand, I feed myself french fries and then make quick work of the burger. Before we move again my hand is re-tied and I'm covered by the sack once more.

Time goes by and I just stay quiet. I focus and determine John, Sam and Six are all in the same van as me while the others drive the one ahead.

I'm awake for the next several hours and everyone else seems to be quiet too except for the music playing. I just close my eyes and try to hear and enjoy it. I wish they would take this bag off my head. I don't understand why I'm not allowed to know where we are going but my hands and feet are tied up so I can't go anywhere. But I'm not in a position to take it off or say anything.

Time passes and we're still driving. I begin to hope we get somewhere soon because I actually have to go to the toilet. But I decided to just wait.

A while later a hear my name being said and the van stops. I sit up straighter and the bag comes off my head.

"Bathroom Break!" Sam yells as he jumps out. I look around and we're in the middle of nowhere. Not even any other cars in sight.

"What he said," John says aloud directed to me as he uses his telekinesis to undo some of the locks holding me down. He motions his head Conveying I can get out and use the washroom. I hobble out of the van with my hands untied but my feet connected by a chain.

Six stands leaning against the car waiting for the three of us saying "I'm good. I went when there was an actual toilet."

I stand behind a bush not so full that you can't see me but enough to provide some modesty from the outside world. I knew if I began wandering off farther in the brush I'd be yanked back. Sam reappears from somewhere and walks towards the van as I get back in and John reties me to where I was before. I don't put up a fight even though I wish they wouldn't.

But after I hear the locks click I expected for the bag to be shoved back over my head.

Instead, John said "Leaving that off for now. Nothing to see anyways." And leaves the sack on the floor where it ended up.
