Here's another chapter for you! It's kind of a filler, so there won't be much action. Or will there? O_o Turn on the song on the side when I tell you please. Enjoy!
The next morning, we packed up our supplies and loaded the van (which, thank the gods, had survived the feroun pithikous attack) to continue our journey to Texas. Brian climbed behind the wheel, I climbed into the passenger seat, and Macy climbed in the back.
"Ready?," Brian asked.
I took a shaky breath and nodded.
We discussed how far we would go before we left, and decided we would go as far as the Texas border before stopping for the night. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.
I guess the others could sense my uneasiness. Brian placed one hand on mine, while keeping the other firmly on the steering wheel.
"Everything will be alright, Maddie.," he said. I didn't understand why, but Brian made me feel better with just his comforting touch.
"I-I know. It's just- I-I promised myself that I would never have to go back there. That I would never have to see him again.," I whispered. Brian started to rub the back of my hand, and I couldn't help but feel better and more relaxed.
"Brian's right, Madison. Everything will be fine. You'll see.," Macy spoke up from the back. I smiled and nodded.
"Thanks guys. You're right. I shouldn't worry so much.," I replied. They smiled back and we rode in comfortable silence for a while.
Then, when it got too quiet, I surprised them by turning on the radio.
"Oh, I love this song!," I shouted as the beginning chords of Demons by Imagine Dragons began to play. I started to sing along. (AN: Turn song on now!)
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
When the curtain's call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
