"Hey! Hey! Stop, please!" Kate screamed frantically as she walked out into the road in front of a semi. When the semi stopped she felt relief, it was at least the twentieth vehicle that passed her while she was walking down the road trying to get away from the so-called FBI. To tell the truth, she had lost count of how many cars, truck, and semis had passed her at around ten. The life threatened girl was too frightened about the two men that were looking for her to care.
As the semi was pulling up Kate put on the best smile she possibly could considering the circumstances, hoping that her fangs would not make and inconvenient appearance. She hadnt quite gotten control of her new abilities.
"Where are you going sweetheart?" questioned the semi driver who looked a lot like the stereotypical drivers that one sees on tv: the nasty stained wife beater, the awful smell that reminded Kate of sulfur, and the very perverted vibe that his aura gave off. With her new upgraded senses that happened to come with this curse she could tell that he had either just woken up from sleeping, or just got done do some physical activity that caused him to sweat. And by the look of she bet it was the former.
"Where are you heading?" Kate asked, not wanting to let the nasty man that she was about to get a ride from know that she was running away from something that he would not understand.
"I am going toward Chicago, Illinois," He said while crunching on some cheetos, some of them falling to the floor of his truck. This didn't deter him though, for he just picked them right up and stuck them in his mouth too.
"Great, could you just drop me off at the nearest big city?" She wondered, trying to disguise her disgust underneath a sweet smile. The newly formed werewolf didn't want go very far with this sorry excuse for a person, especially because she could smell the nasty shit that was caked onto the floor of the monster truck. So she had decided to get to a big city and look for a bus, or train to somewhere far away.
"Of course, honey, I can drop you off anywhere," he said attempting a provocative tone. Kate didn't want to ride with this man, but decided that he was her only hope of getting away from the two agents that Michael thought were having an affair. As she thought of Michael she could feel herself tearing up, but she fought them back. She didn't want this guy to open his mouth anymore, now that she was in the rig she could smell his putrid breath.
Unfortunately as he started driving down the state road he noticed the shine in her eyes. "What happened to make you want to run away and why are you doing it?" Kate thought that he was getting too personal now, she just wanted to use him to get farther away. Although, she wasn't sure how long of a drive it would be to the nearest city, so she humored him.
"Well," Kate began, "I had a sort of problem with my boyfriend's roommate. His roommate did not like the fact that I was dating Michael instead of him, so he hurt my boyfriend. After I saw him do that I went a little crazy, and beat him up pretty bad, so I was afraid he went to the cops. And here I am," She ended, hoping that awful lie was enough to satisfy the driver.
"You know what I would have done? I would have taken revenge on him just like you did." He said trying to cheer her up. It did not cheer her up, but it gave her a new energy. She decided that she would become like those men that were tracking her down. The emotional time bomb that was Kate did not want anyone to have to experience what she had to go through. In that moment Kate was invigorated, she made up her mind. Kate was going to chase after the monsters that might do this to people, and kill them. It was a foolproof plan, she thought, she was going to kill the monsters and live off of their hearts. She would never get the craving for humans, she would only crave the hearts of her own, the hearts of monsters.
"Thanks," she said with a smile on her face,"I know what to do now." She hoped that the driver, who she just realized never revealed his name, would not be scared by what she just said.
around five hours later the driver dropped her off at a railroad crossing that he said would lead her right to a large city where she could find a good job and lead a happy life without too much drama. She thought that was a strange thing to say, but when she asked for his name he said something a little stranger.
"For now?" he started,"you can call me Crowley, but later I think my name will be Bob."
She was not sure what he meant by "for now" but she decided it wasn't worth it to ask. She was never going to see him again. Kate thanked him as she got out of the vehicle, and waved goodbye to him. She put on her backpack and started the trek to the city with a determined smile on her face.
