On our first bus out, we saw monsters. More than three (which is incredibly rare, excluding battles of course). Drew and I, we didn't notice it at first. We just thought that a cheerleading squad was on the bus with us. Kaylee nudged me about 30 minutes into our ride, and whispered 'They know what we are. And that is not good.' She pointed to the girls, who were constantly looking back at us. Drew, he was under their spell. He kept trying to prop his feet up on the back of the seat in front of us, but kept failing. I passed the message onto Drew, who snapped out of it quickly and gripped his belt. But we decided that instead of fighting, it would be better to just get off at the next stop.
Unfortunately, that was THEIR stop as well. So they got off before us, and walked up to us. 'Hi, I'm Nikki.' A pretty blonde announced. 'Hi, I'm Raquel.' a petite girl with chocolate skin and hair like licorice did a pose. 'I'm Tracy!' a bouncy brunette walked up in front of the other two. One by one, the cheerleaders introduced themselves.
'Demons' Kaylee mumbled to me. I nodded, doing my best to not fall under their spell. I pulled out the gun, and when they lined up to do the rollercoaster, I shot one bullet, and each demon it hit, it turned them into dust. Silently, the three of us watched the dust blow down the street. Then we continued on.
Drew showed us a well-mapped-out plan on where we should look for our sister, and a precise time map for each city. (He even added ten minutes to each place for fighting monsters!) Kaylee was obviously impressed, and I admit I was too. Our first stop would be D.C, and then Nashville, and then Atlanta, New Orleans, then St Lois, etc... The list hit all major cities for monsters across the country. 'We should be able to locate Evelyn in about a month, if we follow the plan.'
Did I forget to mention that as we were going over the plan, we were stowaways in the bathroom of a train? Drew made sure to get the point across that as long as we were always moving, we would be fine. He even had a list of ways to move around the country. It included crazy things like:
Find the centaurs, and hitch a ride.
Steal a car.
Jog.
Train Bathrooms.
'Borrow' a car.
Knock out a bus driver, Bring the *your choice of bad word here* kids to school, then steal the bus.
'You REALLY want to steal something, don't you?' I sighed, and Drew nodded excitedly. Three hours later, we got off at Washington D.C. Our first stop.
