PLEASE REVIEW!
Joshua watched as the sun slowly began to set, painting the sky a pinkie orange colour.
The younger boy leaned back in the passenger seat, listening to the song that was playing quietly on the radio.
Josh turned his head slightly left.
"How much longer until we get to Braham's?"
"About another ten minutes." Alex replied.
Joshua sighed. This car ride felt as though it had been going forever. Josh didn't understand why all of this had been happening, he wished Lillian would call and tell Alex everything was safe and that they could come home.
Joshua closed his eyes, and leaned his head on the seatbelt.
The younger Shepherd felt something lightly shaking his shoulder, but he felt too tired to open his eyes.
'Josh.'
'Josh, wake up, we're here!'
Joshua slowly opened his eyes.
"We're in Braham's?" Joshua asked while rubbing his eyes.
"Yeah buddy." Alex replied happily while undoing his seatbelt.
Joshua yawned, and then jumped slightly when he realised Alex had already walked over to his side of the car.
Alex opened the passenger door, unclipped Joshua's seatbelt and helped the tired boy out of the car.
Joshua watched as Alex grabbed the backpack out of the back seat, and then proceeded to lock the car.
The younger Shepherd followed Alex through the quiet town, relieved at the sight of residents going about with their everyday lives.
"Are you hungry?" Alex asked.
"Yeah." Joshua replied.
Alex ruffled Josh's hair playfully.
"Alright we'll get something to eat at this diner. Then we can find somewhere to stay."
Joshua smiled.
"Okay."
The two boys walked into the old style diner, there weren't many people insider; only a few truckers.
Alex and Josh took a seat at a small square table.
Joshua watched as a older woman with black hair, tied in a messy bun walked over to their table.
She then asked the boys if they were ready to place an order.
Alex said both of the boy's choices; while the woman jotted it all down on a note pad, and then left with a smile.
"I can't believe its eight o'clock already!" Alex exclaimed while looked at the screen of his mobile phone.
Joshua examined Alex's face, judging by the dark circles slightly starting to form under the older boy's eyes, he must be exhausted from everything that had happened.
Alex placed his phone on the table, and then jumped slightly when it began to ring.
The older brunette picked up the phone and placed it against his ear.
"Hello?"
"Alex, it's me. Elle."
Alex scowled.
"What do you want?"
"My mother called me and said you weren't in Shepherd's Glen anymore!" Elle stated angrily.
"Oh, so your mom is trying to hunt me and Josh down huh?"
"Look. You and I both know about this crazy sacrificial stuff that's going on, so why don't you just come back and let the Order do what is needed to be done."
"Why the fuck would I let some weirdo's kill me!" Alex growled.
"Alex. I don't think you understand...if you don't come back now, they will come after you and Josh."
The angry older Shepherd was about to say something, when Elle abruptly hung up the phone.
Joshua stared at Alex with a frightened expression.
"Who was that?"
Alex frowned.
"It was Elle..."
"What did she say?"
"Well, apparently Judge Holloway went looking for us in Shepherd's Glen." Alex mumbled.
"Does that mean they are going to find us!" Joshua asked quietly.
"No...I won't let that happen. As long as we keep a low profile we should be okay."
Joshua looked out the window. The sky was almost completely black, but there were still a decent amount of people driving and walking the streets.
The waitress then arrived at the table with two plates of food.
The two boys walked quietly along the sidewalk for any sign of the motel they could stay in.
"What about that place?" Joshua said while pointing at a Motel a few stores down.
Alex smiled, and then ruffled Josh's hair yet again.
"Lets go check it out."
Alex opened the white painted door of the Motel.
There was a young man at the front desk, who was reading a car magazine.
"May I help you?" The man said in a rather bored tone.
"Yeah...would you happen to have any rooms available?" Alex asked.
The man then quickly flipped open a large black book, gazing over the pages for a vacant room.
"There is only one available at the moment, with a queen sized bed."
Alex pulled an expression of discomfort.
"Are you sure there are no other rooms....maybe with separate beds?"
"Sorry, that's the only one." The man stated while closing the book.
Alex frowned.
"Okay...we'll take that one."
"Alright, how many nights do you want to stay?"
Alex thought for a moment.
"Just one night."
The man then walked over to the till.
"That comes to forty five dollars."
Alex handed the money to the man, and was then given the key to their room.
"Your room number is written on the tag hanging off your key." The man stated as the two Shepherd Boys began walking away.
"Okay thanks." Alex replied.
Joshua looked at the key.
"Alex, where did you get the money to pay for the room?"
"I just saved up all the cash I made working at the Hardware store in Shepherd's Glen."
Alex then looked at the tag dangling off the bronze coloured key, it read: room 302.
After walking up two small flights of stairs, the Shepherd Brothers finally found the room.
Alex placed the key into the small hole, and then twisted it. With a click the door became unlocked, and the two boys walked inside.
Alex felt along the wall blindly for a light switch, until finally he was able to flick the lights on.
Joshua winced slightly as the room suddenly lit up.
The room was a decent size. It had a small on suit bathroom and a large double bed.
Alex took off his jacket and dropped it lazily on the floor.
"I don't about you kiddo but I'm beat..."
Joshua sat on the end of the bed; eyes wandering around the new surroundings.
"Alex can I grab Robbie out of the backpack?"
"Sure." Alex mumbled.
Joshua unzipped the bag, and dug through the bundle of clothes.
The younger Shepherd smiled when he was finally met with the pink bunny ears poking through a small gap between the clothing.
When Josh turned around Alex was already in bed asleep.
Josh then grabbed his pyjamas out of the backpack, and headed toward the bathroom to get changed.
Once he was fully changed, Josh walked quietly toward the double bed.
Josh hugged his Robbie doll close to his chest, and soon after fell asleep.
