I'm starting to worry about Lissa. She has been really on edge lately. She says that she is fine, but I don't believe her. Maybe she is worried abut today because we have to pass back through Montana and be closer to Academy than we have been since we left a couple of weeks ago. Hell I am worried about it. What if I can't protect her and they take her and send me away? They probably won't understand why I had to take her away, why it wasn't safe.
We were currently sitting on one of the crappiest busses I had ever seen, but it's all that we could afford. I could see the toll the compulsion was taking on Liss and wouldn't let her do it again insisting that we would be fine on this thing. In reality I was just waiting for this rolling pile of tin to crap out. I had taken the window seat for obvious reasons and Liss had shrunk down in her seat to avoid the sun that I couldn't block. I should get a name tag "Sun Blocker extraordinar." I felt Lissa relax into my side and let out a sigh of relief, she hadn't been sleeping and it was starting to worry me; she was low on energy as it is. I looked out the window and saw the continuously disappearing and reappearing from behind the rolling hills on the vas fields as the Death Trap, as affectionately call the tin box, rolled across the road. We passed a few semi trucks, but other than tat the roads were mostly empty. Lissa and I would wait until the last stop to get off and I had no idea how long that would be. We stopped yet again an I crossed out another stop from the list I was keeping on a napkin I had taken from the McDonalds when we stopped for food. I watched as a woman picked up the little boy at her side and carried him off the bus with one arm wrapped securely around him and the other holding two small bags. I looked down at Lissa and she was still sleeping, something I was grateful for. I needed to figure out here to go from here befor she wakes up; I need to be strong and and a plan. Ideally we would go as far away from the Academy as possible, but it can't be overly sunny for Lissa. I was thinking somewhere around Chicago, if we can even get that far.

I closed my eyes and waited for the thoughts that plagued my mind in waking hours to invade it in sleep, but they never did and for the first time in days I slept peacefully on this crappy bus.
I know that I take a long time to update, but I mean it when I say the reviews make my day and make me want to write more.
