I didn't really fall asleep, I just laid in the backseat of the hummer, covered with a worn out blanket. The thoughts of what happened tonight gave my stomach a turn, what if I didn't shoot him on time? What if I didn't react the way I did? I would be an undead thing within an hour, Claire couldn't handle that.
I finally sat up, knowing sleep wasn't what I was getting tonight. I was to anxious, I was ready for another undead thing to come at me. Yea, I was scared, but it was my first kill. I looked out the window and saw the sun beginning to come up, "Shit." I spoke softly. "Now that you got from me." Claire spoke. I jumped at her voice, then nodded. Claire sat up and yawned, "Why are you up so early?" Claire stretched and leaned back against the seat. "I couldn't sleep."
Claire turned around in her seat, "You want to know something?" I turned to look at her and nodded. "That's what I acted like after my first." That gave me some relief, so hopefully this will pass. "Will it go away?" I asked Claire, climbing up front. "Yes, after a couple, it will go away, did for me anyways." Claire picked up the walkie, "Carlos?" We waited for a response, "Claire?" Carlos spoke and fuzzed out. "It's time to move, start up the trucks." Claire motioned to me to start up the hummer, since I was over here. "Make sure everyone is up and ready." Claire put the talkie down.
I got ready to switch her spots, but she stopped me and put me back. "You're driving kid." Claire said with a smirk. "You know I've never drove before." I said, "You're getting your first lesson." Claire smiled then Carlos fuzzed back in, "We're ready." "Okay, put it in drive and lets get out of here, keep it at fifty five." I've watched her drive for a couple of months now, so I think I can handle it. I threw it in drive and took off.
