This was also kind of tricky to write lol, but I think I did a pretty okay job :)

The four sat in silence. Since Nears face was back to normal there wasn't really anything to laugh or talk about. Well, Matt and Mello kept up idle conversation, Near and Beyond however, were dead silent. Beyond looked over at Near who was spacing out at the window, and sighed in boredom. That's why he brought his carry-on bag, he thought as he picked up a black tote.

Hmm, what to do? He thought opening the bag to see what he brought, in the bag he saw; some jam packets, a few manga, his IPod shuffle, black head phones, a box of matches, a pocket knife, another pocket knife, a few pencils, a box of pencil crayons, and a thick sketch book. He decided to listen to music and draw, why not right? So he popped the head phones in his ears and turned on Marilynn Manson, smiling at the images the music put in his mind. Then he grabbed his sketch book and started drawing. The bumpy road made him mess up a lot, he hated it. 'This stupid road makes me want to violently murder someone with fire and knives…' He thought, and then smiled when he remembered he had matches and knives in his bag. With this happy thought he continued to sketch.

Near sat in silence, fascinated with how the world outside of Whammys looked. Radom trees and desert popped up at random, it was pretty. However, this beauty soon became boring. Near sighed and pulled up the transformer he put under the seat in case of boredom emergency. 'Optimus Prime, ready to rescue the town!' Near imagined the robot saying. If this was real, he knew exactly how it would play out. First Prime would transform into a car, and Near would hop in. Then once they arrived at the town that was in danger, he would get out and Prime would transform back into a killing machine, Then Near would stand by and watch as his robot kicked evil monster butt and saved the town! Near smiled as he thought of the glory, then blushed a bit when he realized how lame he was.

Near sighed and looked over at Beyond who was scribbling something into some book, and listening to music. Well, why not? Near poked Beyond's arm lightly to get attention. "What are you drawing?" He asked innocently.

"Well…" Beyond flipped to the fromt of the book and showed the horrid picture to poor Near who almost gagged. It was a girl who was holding a knife, she was all bloody, and maggots were crawling from a hole in her head. One of her eyes were hanging by the nerve, and she had an insane smile to top it off. The next picture was of two crows eating the flesh off of a barely alive man, and tearing him apart bit by bit. The third picture was a bunch of children, on fire running around in chaos and pandemonium. All the pictures were horrifying, and grotesque. By the time he reached the latest one Near was shivering in fear. Beyond put is ear bud back in, and continued drawing. Near clung to the back of Matts chair.

"How much longer?" He asked terrified.

"About eight more hours." Matt answered yawning.

"E-Eight more hours… W-with this guy? H-He's going to kill us. Slowly, and excruciatingly. I can tell." Near shivered.

"Don't be such a baby, at least try to get along." Mello butted in. "Or go to sleep or something."

Near leaned back, 'okay, sleep, sounds great.' He thought and rested his head against the window, closing his eyes. Unfortunately for Near, everytime he closed his eyes, one of Beyonds traumatising illustrations found it's way into Nears head. 'Oh God why!' He thought, and went down in fetal position, trying to focus on the rumbling of the car engine.

Mello checked in the backseat mirror above his window and looked at a smiling Beyond, and a traumatized Near. "Why does Near look so scared?" He asked Matt.

"I don't know. It's Near probably some weird reason we wouldn't understand." He yawned.

Mello smiled in agreement and continued driving. It was different, yeah he's been out of Whammys, but he was always still in the city. The country was really, nice. He had to admit. After about an hour of driving in silence (He focused on the road. He knew if they got into an accident or something and he was the only one who survived then Roger would kill him way more brutally than any petty crash ever could.) his eyes soon began to wander around the car yet again. Matt was playing his DS, headphones in his ears so that the two didn't get into a fight about all the horrid bleeps and bloops his game admitted. In the back Beyond was still smiling creepily at his book, and Near still looked like he was clinging desperately to dear life. Even though Mello hated Near, well, he was the only one who didn't have headphones in his ears.

"Near… Why do you look so scared?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"Beyond. He's crazy. Tonight while we're sleeping, he's going to cut us up, he'll start with our legs so that we're still alive, then he will start a fire wish our leg flesh, and cook other parts of us. He will then proceed to feed the cooked flesh to us, he will continue to cut-off various parts of us, then he will cook it and feed it to us individually. An when we think it can't get worse, he'll throw our limb-less torsos into a tub of scalding hot water, and we will be forced to look at everyone's dying faces, and he will laugh at our humiliating deaths." Near said scarily monotone, his eye twitched ever so slightly.

"… Okay then." Mello stopped trying to communicate with anyone, and went back to driving. This was going to be a long trip.

Don't worry folks, we will see Vegas in the next chapter XD
