You all set off again after eating, your map telling you that you would be approaching the incubus soon. The thought made your stomach twist into knots. You had heard stories about them and they definitely were a danger to humans. Especially females.

Wandering through unfamiliar towns really broadened your views on how other people lived. You were placed in a poor part of Earth, growing up alone with no luxuries, no friends or family. Seeing people together and working various jobs interested you. You got to see beautiful family homes, filled with love. Jimin felt his stomach drop listening to you. How he took everything he had for granted when you had nothing at all.

"Wow," you said as you walked past a shop filled with televisions and gaming consoles. The pictures on the TV lit up all the screens and you stood near the glass watching. Your look of amazement dropped as you watched what came up. A news presenter was sitting at the desk, looking grim as she spoke. There was no sound, so you didn't know what she was saying.

"Resi," Hobi called out to you, motioning for you to come over. "How far away are we?" You grabbed the map from your pocket and checked. The purple dot labelled Incubus didn't seem to be too far away, but you knew you would be walking during the night.

"We'll be there soon, but we need to find a rest stop for the night," you said, putting the map away. "Anyone have any ideas?"

"How about a motel or inn or something?" Jimin asked, nervously scratching his arm as everyone looked at him. "I mean, I'm not sure, I don't live on Earth so—"

"That sounds like a good idea, Chim," you said, giving him a smile, he sighed in relief, but Yoongi crossed his arms.

"Do you really think a motel will take us?" You shrugged. He sighed. "Take a look around! Everyone that walks past is staring and not in a good way. People are even looking through their windows." He turned to give a family a glare as they spied through the curtains, quickly shutting them at Yoongi's look. Hoseok giggled, but stopped as Yoongi gave him a look.

"It doesn't hurt to try," you tried to be optimistic, but you weren't feeling too hopeful. Yoongi was right. You were getting stared at and not for the right reasons. Jimin coughed, grabbing everyone's attention. He looked like he didn't want to say what he was about to say.

"I know a place we could go," he said, avoiding eye contact. "An old friend of my family's." You smiled and everyone nodded.

"Okay," Yoongi said. "Where do they live?" Jimin swallowed and looked around.

"Around half an hour away."

"Sounds good. We'll make it just in time." You grabbed out your map and saw that the incubus was still where it was before and where Jimin began to lead you all kept you on the same path.
