That was a rush wasn't it? It was quick and a little bit short but I had to get our main characters in motion, where are they going to go now?
Enjoy!
The 2 girls were still driving down the road that were filled with dark trees, the snow had already covered the upper top of them. Lily had her foot still down hard on the gas, she gripped the wheel. Euci looked at her and grabbed her hand.
"Calm down, they are far away from us." She said to her friend who was driving a 65 mile per hour on a 35, Lily took a deep breath and relax. She released her grip on the steering wheel and raised her foot a little bit off the gas, the meter went down to a 35 and Lily's eyes calm down from her wide, afraid eyes.
"Thanks." Lily said, Euci gave a smile and sat back in her seat.
"Who the hell were they? Why were they following us?" Euci asked, her friend gave a sigh.
"I-I don't know Euci." Lily said.
"Then how did you know what to do?" Euci asked her.
"I-I-I don't know okay! It was like instinct, I just had to get away from them." Lily said outloud, she touched her arm and put her hand back on the wheel. Euci looked away from her.
"I'm just glad we are away from them. And that we stole another car." Lily gave a small grin. "All of my books and our clothes were in there, and some food too."
"Don't worry about the books and clothes, we can buy them again." Lily said outloud.
"What about the food?" Euci asked with a worried look, Lily looked at her and back at the road. She didn't say anything at first.
"We can go in a resturant and eat there without paying. Or we can steal some food from a convience store like we always do before we had jobs back in Canada." She said as she drove.
Euci gave a sad look at her, she remembered the hard times that they had back in Canada. Before Lily had become working as a host and before she started to work as a waitress at a diner, they were living in a old motel and stealing food from stores and resturants. They were broke, hungry and homeless. Like right now they were.
5 hours later with a big tank of gas in the back, when they past a big sign, the car started to slow down. Lily started to get angry.
"What?" Euci opened her eyes from sleeping and looked at the gas meter, it was empty.
"We are out of gas." Lily turned the car on the side of the road and turned the car off. She got out of the car and slam the door hard, she paced on the side of the road. Euci got of the car and walked to her.
"Where are we going to get a ride to the nearest town?" Lily started to get more angry, Euci looked around her and saw the big sign behind them.
"Hey, look at this." She called Lily, she turned around and saw the sign.
'Welcome to Kingston, New York!'
Lily's anger disappered and a smile appeared on her face, she covered her mouth with her hands.
"Oh God, we're in New York! I didn't notice the signs!" She looked at Euci and hugged her tightly. "We're in New York!"
Euci smiled at her and patted her back, she pulled her away.
"We need a ride, I don't see any cars to hot wire. So we gotta walk." Euci said to her, Lily nodded and calm down. They both walked down the road, with light snow on their shoulders.
"So, do you believe in faires?" Euci asked, Lily laughed outloud as they walked in the almost dead of night.
After 2 hours of walking, Euci and Lily stopped walking. They sat on the side of the road and took a break.
"Goddamn, we walked so long!" Euci said outloud, Lily gave a deep breath and exhale.
"Yeah, about 2 hours. Where are we?" Euci looked around her and saw ahead of her, she heard a loud noise above her. She looked up and saw a large jet soaring through the sky.
"Hey, there's a car." Lily said in a whisper, Euci turned and saw the empty car in a parking lot in front of a resturant. They stood up and walked towards the blue car, they looked at each other and counted to 3.
1. Lily put her hand on the handle. 2. Euci grabbed a nearbly rock and held it above her head.
3.
Euci threw the car at the glass window, it broke and she reached in to open the door. She hopped in and opened the door for Lily, while she got in, Euci had already hot wired the car and they drove off.
"HEY!" A man yelled out, he had sunglasses on and he ran to his driving car.
Euci had started to drive fast but slowed down as they got away from the man with sunglasses, Lily looked behind them and back at Euci.
"Do you think that was kind of mean? Stealing from a guy that looked like he was blind?" She asked Euci.
Euci shrugged her shoulders as she drived.
"It's better than walking all the way to Manhattan. Don't you want to see the Christmas Tree?" Lily gave a surpised look.
"How did you about us going to Manhattan?" Euci looked at her and gave a smile, she looked back at the road.
"I'm not telling. It's a secret."
A hour later, they stopped the car in the middle of the city. They looked around, they stared at the bright lights in awe.
"It's beautiful." Lily said outloud, Euci nodded and looked at her. She saw her only friend, staring at the bright lights of the city. She smiled at her.
Finally...She's seeing the city. Like she always wanted.
6 years ago, on Christmas Eve.
Lily had stared at the Christmas lights in the motel room, she looked depressed.
"What's wrong?" Euci asked as she laid in the bed, reading a book with her glasses down to her nose.
"I want to see the lights." Euci gave a confused look.
"You are looking at some lights right now." Lily looked at her and stood up with a aggrivated sigh.
"No, not those lights. I want to see the lights of New York!" She spinned around the room and fell down on the bed next to Euci's.
"Really? That's a long way to go."
"But I don't care! I want to see the lights! I always wanted to see the lights of the city ever since I was a kid." Lily smiled and turned onto her side. "It's been my only wish, besides having a family."
Lily chuckled and Euci gave a smile.
"Euci!" Euci blinked and looked towards Lily, she was pointing behind her. She turned and saw the men with the marks, her eyes went wide and full of fear. Lily grabbed her hand.
"We have to run!" Euci nodded and they ran through the city, they were trying not to bump into people and fall. They kept running until the men with the marks almost caught up with them.
Lily looked around her and looked at Euci.
"We have to seprate." She said to Euci.
"What?!" Euci's eyes went wide and afraid, Lily held onto her hand.
"It's the only way for us to be faster and they won't find us if we are apart. I promise, I'll find you." Lily said to her as she stared into her dark brown eyes with her bright blue eyes, Euci nodded with a tear in her eye. "Be strong for me and wait for me at the Tree!"
Euci nodded and let go of her hand, she ran to the right of her and Lily watched her as she ran.
Please be strong, and don't get hurt.
Lily turned around and ran.
