Ian got out the car and walked round while I slid into his seat narrowly avoiding the gear stick.

"Right now come on let's get a move on we've lost a lot of time already. We have a lot of time to make up if we want to get to Tuscon in time," Jared said.

"Your right, lets go," Kyle agreed.

And with me, Ian and Jared in front while Kyle and Sunny rode behind us we set off on our first raid. Kind of…

Okay everyone this is Chapter 10...Hope you like it =D

Traffic. I mean come on, this so, should have been expected. If we'd only left earlier we so could have avoided this. If only Jared and Melanie weren't so busy-

"What's up Wanda?" Ian asked, "you look kind of distracted."

"Hum?" I said foolishly as Ian pulled me away from my trail of thought, "oh nothing, don't worry. Just thinking is all."

"About what?" Ian pressed. The way he was looking at me. It was if he was really interested.

I shrugged, "nothing important."

He narrowed his eyes at me like he didn't believe me but didn't press it any further.

"I'm hungry," Jared whined.

Ian laughed, "well it's your own fault but apparently there are somethings more important to you than food like-"

"We should stop at the next petrol station, get some snacks or something," I interrupted him.

"Yeah," Ian sighed, "if we ever get there that is."

Slowly and steadily the traffic moved and us along with it. After what seemed like an eternity Ian pulled up and parked in the first available spot he saw. Kyle and Sunny pulled up next to us.

"Okay," I said, unbuckling my seatbelt, "wish me luck," I half laughed. As I was getting out the car I felt a hand on my arm. When I turned around I saw that the hand belonged to Ian. He stared into my eyes and I stared back just as intently. I felt the connection between us again.

"Good luck," he whispered to me before removing his arm and leaning his seat again, his eyes shut tight.

I slid out the car. As I closed the door I clocked eyes with Jared. He mimed the words and I smiled before shutting the door completely.

As I walked round the car I saw Sunny already out the car waiting for me. I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Ready?" I asked her when I got to her.

"Yeah I think so," I said breathlessly.

"It'll be okay," whether it was to reassure her or myself I wasn't sure, "just act natural."

"Act natural got it" she nodded.

We linked arms and made our way to the entrance.

As we opened the door to the shop a little bell on the top of the door signalled our entrance. The cashier didn't look up at the sound of the bell. He was to lost in his book, he probably didn't even hear.

We walked up and down the aisles picking sweets and snacks at random.

"Do you think we should get some water?" Sunny asked?

"Good idea actually, it's going to be a long journey."

Once our basket was full we went up to the counter and placed the basket on it, causing it to make a thumping noise.

At the sound the cashier looked up and smiled at us.

"New in town?" he asked us as he started scanning our items through the machine.

"Um yeah, sort of, my…husband is a photographer," began Sunny, "so we travel a lot, just passing through."

"That must be nice," said the cashier.

"Yes it is," she replied.

"I'm grains incrusted in the sand by the way," the cashier said extending his hand. We both shook hands with him.

"I'm summer breeze," said sunny smiling.

The cashier nodded then turned to me, "and you are?" he asked.

"Spring air," I blurted out of nowhere.

The cashier nodded again.

Grains put our things in a plastic bag and handed them to us, "here you go," he said pleasantly, handing Sunny the bag.

"Thanks," we replied.

"Maybe we'll see each other again sometime?" Grains asked casually.

"Yeah maybe," Sunny replied.

"Bye Grains," I said, waving.

"Bye Summer," he waved back.

When we reached outside I started making my way towards the truck, when I noticed Sunny following me.

"Um…Sunny aren't you going with Kyle" I asked.

"Well yeah," she replied, "I'm just going to give you guys your snacks."

"Oh yeah," I said foolishly, I'd totally forgotten about the food. I felt a strange pulling telling me to get back to the truck for some reason, only I wasn't sure why?

We arrived at the car and I opened the door and got in, fastening my seatbelt.

Sunny leaned over me to and chucked treats in Ian and Jared's direction. She passed me some as well alone with three bottles of water.

"There that's enough to keep you alive right?" she asked us.

"Yeah," Jared said as he ripped open a bag of doughnuts and shoved it into his mouth.

"We'll drive to Phoenix now," Ian said to Sunny, "We'll lead, tell Kyle to follow behind us."

"Okay, see you guys later," Sunny said as she shut the door.

"You okay Wanda?" Ian asked, turning to face me.

"Yeah, it was much easier than I thought it would be," I admitted, "probably beginners luck."

"Lucky the souls got rid of the use of money, otherwise we'd be screwed," Jared added.

"That to," I agreed.

"Come on then," Ian said "time is wasting."

After that it became easier and easier to interact with my own kind. Sunny and I would stop off at any shop along the way, just to get the hang of it. And we did, surprisingly. And it was even…well, kind of fun. It was fun pretending.

We reached Phoenix by late evening but the shops were still open. We decided we would stop at the local shopping centre before stopping at the nearest hotel.

Sunny and I entered the supermarket and as we did a cold breeze surrounded us. The air conditioning. I wrapped my newly bought cardigan around me. Sunny grabbed a trolley and we started shopping.

Everything seemed fine until I got the feeling we were being watched. I looked around to see a tall, crinkly ginger haired man staring in our direction.

Realizing that I had noticed him, noticing us he quickly looked away. I continued with my shopping too.

We were in the queue waiting to be served. Everyone was getting in some last minute shopping before the store closed.

When we finally reached the checkout the person behind the counter smiled up at us.

"Hello," she said, "I don't believe I've ever seen you guys here before, new in town?" she asked us.

"Just passing through," I said.

"Any chance I could catch your names?" she asked.

"I'm Broken Wave," Sunny said.

"Fallen Petal," I whispered.

"Nice to meet you both, I'm Fluorescent River," she replied.

We both smiled at her as we picked up our bags and headed out the door.

"Hello again, Earth's Core," said Fluorescent River. She was obviously talking to the person that was behind us but I felt the need to turn around anyway. It was the same person that had been watching us earlier.

"Hey Fluorescent," came the reply. His voice was soft and delicate, but there was a roughness in there also.

"I didn't think…" but the rest of Fluorescent's words were lost as we exited the store. We must have been inside for a while. It had gotten dark but the air was humid. I unbuttoned me cardigan.

"See you in a few Wanda," Sunny called as she made her way over to the car Kyle and herself shared.

I reached the car, the door was open and just as I was about to get in I heard I voice from behind me.

"Hey, um Fallen Petal was it?" came an unsure voice. I turned around and saw that it was Earth's Core the guy from the supermarket.

"Hi," I said.

"Um, hi…you left this in the store and I thought I'd give it to you," and he held up a plastic bag that I'd forgotten to pick up.

"Oh, um thanks," I smiled and took the bag from him.

He smiled back then lifted his head and was looking directly at Ian and then froze.

I froze too, then whirled round so I was facing Ian too.

Ian was staring directly at Earth's Core then seeming to realizing what a blow to his cover this was he quickly shut his eyes and faced the front.

Earth's Core hadn't seen anything I was sure. As Ian broke his gaze he seemed to snap out of whatever state he was in and shook his head. He must have been reassuring himself that whatever he had thought he had seen in Ian's eyes was his imagination.

It was dark and I hope that, that was enough to convince him this was why he hadn't seen the thin silver line around Ian's pupil.

"Okay well um bye," I said suddenly jumping into the van and closing the door not giving him a chance to explain.

Ian quickly put the vehicle in gear and headed out of the car park.

That was close, I thought. Too close.

Sorry about the rubbish ending. I had to rush it's 9:44 pm over here in London and my mum is forcing me off the computer so I had to rush! I haven't had time to check it over I just uploaded so there are probably Thousands of mistakes and I'm sorry. If there are I'll fix them tomorrow! So Sorry!
