"Look like your prayers are answered" Bumlets muttered
Jack got out of the car first "You guys heading to the city too?"
"Yeah, we are" Bumlets answered looking at Gracie Jane, it was his way of telling her that she was right
"Where are you guys from?"
"We're from Pennsylvania" Gracie answered "And you?"
"We're from New Jersey"
"You don't happen to have some mini bikes in that big car?" Bumlets joked
Jack laughed "No, just six other people"
"You're seriously planning on walking there?"
"You're walking there"
"We were both on the cross country team, and been doing walk-a-thons for five years"
"We can handle it"
"Do don't even have any water, no food, walking there will take days"
"We can handle it"
Yeah you can but what about Reverie? Ty thought while looking out the window
"I'm Jack by the way"
"Bumlets, this is Gracie Jane"
"Bumlets?"
"Don't ask, my real name's Michael but I answer to Bumlets"
"Whatever, get out of the car guys, a say goodbye to the Lamborghini Race. And Sarah, don't take too much luggage, it'll be a strain to carry"
"Don't worry Bumlets, we can share" Gracie said to him
"We don't have enough"
"We'll manage"
"I can't believe you putting yourself through this Reverie, you are in no shape to walk" Ty pleaded
"I'll be fine"
"Not for long"
"Stop making this a big deal"
"It is a big deal!"
"What's a big deal?" Sarah asked suspiciously
"None of your business" Reverie snapped
"Sooner or later it'll show" Sarah whispered into her ear and giggled to herself as she went to join Jack
"Who the hell does she think she is?" demanded Ty
"God" Saphhy answered "Be careful her bite is worse than her bark, she gets sick pleasure out of hurting people"
"What comes around goes around" they turned to see Gracie "I couldn't help over hearing your conversation, excuse me, hi I'm Gracie"
"Reverie"
"Ty Enders"
"Saphhy"
"Nice to meet you. So what are you all planning on doing once you hit the city"
"Who knows, you?"
"My friend Bumlets and I are heading there to get supplies and to see if there's---"
"Adults"
"Yeah"
"For us the city's kinda our last hope" Reverie looked down
"For Race and me the city's a treasure chest"
"Are you guys ready to leave" Jack asked
"I am" Reverie answered Ty gave her a worried look
They've been walking for three hours now, Gracie was surprised that no one needed to stop yet but knew it wouldn't last, soon they'll grow too exhausted to move on
"Try to keep a steady pace guys, it's easier that way" She told them
Jack looked up to the sky, and looked at his watch, it's three' o'clock, three more hours till the sun goes down
"I'm tired Jack" little Daisy whined
"I know, you want me to carry you?"
She nodded and picked her up her hands went around his neck. Gracie right behind him looked at Daisy, Daisy smiled at her, Grace smiled back poor thing, to lose her parents at such a young age
Reverie looked longingly at Jack holding Daisy, Sarah noticed this and smiled to herself…
Reverie suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed
"Reverie!"
