Fugitives

Ch. 2: Arrival
Here is chapter 2 hope you like it. Please let me know.
The plane touched down which woke up Michael. He looked over at Selene and she was looking out of the window with the sun on her face. Michael smiled; he was glad that they don't have to worry about getting a flight during the night so Selene doesn't burst into flames. Finally the plane stopped and Michael and Selene got out of their seats and headed to the exit. The man that was four rows from them followed trying to stay away from the windows.
After getting off the plane Michael and Selene went to baggage claim. "See I told you it would work." Selene said grabbing the many duffle bags. Once they had all of their bags Michael loaded them onto a trolley. Then they stepped out into the sun.
"Where exactly are we going now?" Michael looked at Selene.
"At this moment anywhere that lets us keep a low profile. We can't afford people recognizing us." Selene replied.
"You mean recognizing me. Which by the way how did we get through airport security with me being a fugitive?" Michael said.
"Michael first of all I didn't mean it that way. We both could be discovered by wither death dealers or police. Second I had a friend get you through security without being notice. We're safe for now." Selene said back.
"I'm sorry; I didn't mean anything of it. I'm just upset that we have to keep moving around all the time and not being able to live in peace." Michael stopped the trolley and pulled Selene's face toward him, "I just want to be with you and not having to worry about anything else."
"I yearn for that as well Michael. You do know that don't you. I will do anything for us to live in peace." She pulled Michael into a tight kiss, but soon separating when they noticed a crowd forming behind them. "We should rent a car." Michael nodded at Selene's idea.
They left the airport with their luggage and a pretty run down car which they stole. The man who was stalking them picked up his phone and told the receiver what the car looked like. He also explained that since it was daylight he couldn't follow them, the person on the other side of the line laughed. Then the stalker hung up the phone and went further into the airport until dusk… when it was safe to emerge.
Michael drove for two hours until they reached a town that was in the country area. It was a small town, a really small town. It just had an inn and a market place; no houses where families lived were really in sight at the moment. Michael stopped the car and went into the inn while Selene unloaded the bags. Once they were settled in they went to bed, but they weren't tired since they slept on the plane.
It was now night around seven PM and time for them to leave since they had to find a more permanent place and there was no houses for sale here and they were to close to the airport. So they got back onto the road which didn't look too different when they were in New York, Mexico, or Italy. They all looked the same, just a plain old road.
Selene had volunteered to drive while Michael was looking over the map. They had to find a place that was ultimately remote; a place where it would be hard for the death dealers to find them. Of course if they were still determined to find the fugitives, they would be found it would take time. Finally Michael thought he found a good spot for gas and shelter only a few hours away. There they could rest and figure a more isolated location to stay for a while.
"Í think I found a place for a good rest stop. It's not that far from here, just a few more hours in the direction we are going and we will hit it." Michael pointed to the map where.
"Alright. It looks far enough away from the airport." Selene said then went back to watching the road. She then heard Michael moving one of the bags to his lap. She looked over to see what he was doing. Michael took out a bag of blood from the duffle. He then sat it in the cup holder next tom him. Next he grabbed another pouch and placed it into the cup holder next to Selene.
"I don't think I'll ever get used to drinking this stuff." Michael said sounding disgusted as he picked up his bag of blood.
"Yes well it is the only thing that will keep you from attacking anyone." Selene said picking up her own packet of blood. She bit the top to make some holes and started to drink the liquid.
Michael had a sour face watching her drink the blood. He looked at his own bag still disgusted. 'I have to do it sooner or later. Better to just get it over with.' He put the packet into his mouth and bit down. The blood oozed into his mouth giving him strength. Michael still had a sour face but didn't stop drinking. He was able to finish the bag and put the empty plastic bag in the cup holder.
"Well, what did you think?" Not bad right?" she smiled at him.
"To tell you the truth it wasn't. I just don't like the fact that I liked it." Michael looked a little upset at himself. 'I drank blood, human blood.' A shiver went down Michael's back which creeped him out besides the fact he drank human blood.
Selene drank the rest of her blood and put it down once it empty. Selene looked over at Michael who still seemed disgusted and she smiled. She then turned on the radio to the news. Neither Michael nor Selene talked the rest of the way to their stop, a little place called Tysoe.
Please review because any input is important to me. Thanks for reading.
