Chapter Three

Herbie raced out of Radiator spring looking for Carolina. "Carolina" called herbie worried what might have happened to her. "Right here" was the response he got back has he came to a stop. Carolina made her way out into the road, "are you alright?" asked herbie has he studied Carolina who looked like she had been badly beaten. "Yeah I guess just a bit bruised" answered Carolina though her voice betrayed her has it sounded weak.

"Are you alright?" asked Carolina has she leaned in and wrapped her arms around his hood has a hug "I was worried" Carolina said softly.

"Don't worry I'm alright now" said herbie.

Carolina stood up "that whole town only has cars right? There is no sign of human are they?" asked Carolina.

Herbie stared at Carolina eyes it looked a much paler then the normal brown her eyes were. "No I didn't see any sign of humans" said herbie.

Carolina sigh and sat on the ground "I thought so" she answered but smiled "but in one way its great for you, can you believe it a whole town of cars that's unbelievable"

Herbie couldn't help but smile "it's unbelievable" said herbie

Carolina shuffled her finger uncomfortably "you would have never imagine it, but…..herbie what keeps bothering me is how did we get here?" she asked has she leaned on herbie side.

"No idea" his answered came, they became silent, Carolina noticed the amount of heat the radiated off herbie like if he had been racing, Carolina began to worry again. "Hey herbie you should have stayed at the hospital you're still not well" Carolina commented has she glanced at herbie.

Herbie stayed silent for a moment before responding "I needed to make sure you were all right, and on the other hand your running a fever yourself I can feel it" said herbie has he cast a glance back at her.

Carolina stared at the pavement "I won't be able to go into that town especially not knowing what will happen if they saw me I don't know how they will react"

Sympathy crossed his face "hey don't worry I'll talk to some of them and I'll see whats going on around here, and hold on I'll explore around here and find you some food till I say its alright for you to come to town I don't want you near their" herbie said firmly.

Carolina nodded "alright" carolina stood up and watch has herbie began to leave, "be careful" she whispered Herbie caught what she said and smile back at her. Carolina heard an engine coming their way and she went back into hiding.

Herbie looked up to see Doc, a red racecar and blue porche stop right in front of him.

"Hey kid is you nuts just getting out of the clinic likes that" said doc seriously. Herbie stared at the ground.

"You almost gave this old car an engine attack" said the red racecar.

"Don't mind lightning, are you alright?" asked the blue porche. Carolina watched them from the bushes.

Herbie took his gaze off the ground "yeah I'm alright" said herbie almost lost in words.

"Come on lets get back to town" doc said has he took the lead. Herbie followed behind, while lightning caught up with Doc, the blue porche drove next to Herbie "by the way my name is sally and that's lightning" said sally pointing a tire toward lightning. Herbie was about to introduce himself but was interrupted by lightning.

"Hey sally, Herbie hurry up" said lightning slowing down a bit to be inches in front of herbie and sally, herbie stared at lightning in surprise.

"How do you know my name?" he asked.

"Everybody in town knows your name, we all been worried when we found out from sheriff and Mater" said sally.

Carolina sighs and leaned against the dried tree in back of her. She smiled at the last thing herbie had said to her, herbie had been very protective after her family was killed about a month before they met, if it wasn't for him she would have given up all hope of living, though she had herbie old friend taking care of her, herbie was more then a friend to her since her family died he was her family her only family.
