Kaylin walked down the road, trying to clear her thoughts of the event that had taken place. She tried to clear her mind of the horrifying visions of her friends and family's mangled bodies. It hit her. She massaged her forehead. Amy was the baby. She cried harder, realizing she had sentenced her baby cousin to death. Through her sobs, she heard something. It couldn't be…. A car!
But who would stop for her? She was in a hideous flower dress, crying her eyes out and barefoot. She stared at her feet as they started to pass. But something happened that she didn't expect. She looked over as a girl about her age stuck her head out the window. She had brownish hair and a cowboy hat on. The guy driving the car slowed down.
"Hey, you ok?" she said. They stopped the car, and her and another girl with shorter, curly hair got out of the car. They walked over to her. Before she knew it, she was in their car. The car reeked of stale smoke and marijuana. It was a long time before any of them spoke. They just stared at her like she was an alien. But then again, she couldn't blame them- she probably looked hideous.
"Well, I'm Erin," the girl with the cowboy hat said. "And this is Pepper." She pointed to the girl with the curly hair. Then the guys introduced themselves as Kemper, Morgan, and Andy. Kaylin didn't even look up. She didn't want to appear rude, but politeness wasn't anywhere close to being on her agenda.
"Where are you headed?" Erin asked. Kaylin kept sobbing silently.
"They're all dead." She said. Morgan leaned his head back.
"I am way too stoned for this." He said.
"Who, who's all dead?" Erin asked. Kemper said something to Erin, to soft for Kaylin to hear. Kaylin held her head in her hands.
"He's a bad man." She said. She sobbed. She thought of the lives her friends were never going to be able to live.
Kaylin glanced up and saw Kemper whisper something to Erin. She looked out the window. Where were they going?
"You're going the wrong way." She said calmly at first. They didn't even flinch.
"YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!" she screamed as she jumped from her seat and reached for the steering wheel. She wasn't going back. She was wrestled into her seat, as she cried again.
"You're all gonna die." She said as she pulled out the sheriff's gun. She pointed it at them.
Erin's heart raced as she watched this girl pull out the gun. What did they do? They were just trying to help.
"Put the gun down" Erin pleaded. Her friends joined her in trying to convince Kaylin to put the gun down. Kaylin put the gun in her mouth and pulled the trigger. She could finally be in peace.
