chapter 49

"Alora, I believe that might be our escort. This is Route 10." Doc nudges me lightly, snapping me out of my long weird daydream in which I bludgeoned Carmen to death with Colton s running shoes, before handing them back to him and walking off into the sunset with a flip of my finger, and I sit upright startled to reality. Heart missing a beat and full-on nerves smacking me in the stomach.

There s a convoy of headlights heading our way in the now pitch-dark, long road, stretching ahead, dazzling us slightly as they approach, along what seems to be a long empty highway lined with dense trees on either side of us. I hadn t even noticed the change in terrain when we got off the dirt track and got onto an actual road. My insides tighten, tense, and painfully pray it is who it is.

I lift the veil and link him, in case we re not where they are yet, and this is someone I should worry about. I don t see any other vehicles on the road.
