Embry's POV:

We were on the road again, just me…..and Alise…..ugh. Don't get me wrong, I love her! She's the best! Seriously, she's like the closest and coolest thing to a sister I could ever ask for….but when you pull into the drive through at McDonalds, all hell breaks loose.

"I want a McFlurry!"

"It's six in the morning, they don't make McFlurries."

"I want apple pie!"

"No Alise, that's for after lunch and dinner."

"I want ice cream."

"Alise it's six in the morning no!"

"I want cookies!"

"Damnit woman you'll eat what I get you and you'll f***ing like it!" I growled as I pulled out my wallet and paid the cashier. I had ordered Alise pancakes, bacon, and eggs with a hash brown and milk, while I got a fruit salad, two hash browns and an apple juice.

I'm sorry, where are my manners? They flew out the door to the car with my demanding fifteen year old cousin.

I drank my juice carefully as I drove us down the highway and off an intersection and came upon a dirt like road.

"Why's this road so bumpy?" I heard Alise whine as some of her milk spilled on her neon orange hoodie.

I rolled my eyes and gasped as my dad's old pickup started to slow down. "No, no! C'mon baby, don't do this to me now, c'mon please?" I begged my truck as it stopped in the middle of nowhere.

"What the f**k is wrong with this piece of sh*t?" Alise yelled as she kicked at the dashboard.

"Hey, watch you're f***ing language there young lady." I said in my parental tone. I was only a few months older than her but, I had promised her mother I would take extra care of her…I wish I could take that back right now….

"But you just swore!"

"…..shut up and get out of the car."

"But…"

"NOW!"

I watched as Alise grumbled and got out of my baby while I popped her hood. I checked the engine, the motor, and everyplace else that could explain why my baby wasn't working but there was nothing. (Thank you Uncle Ben for teaching me a little about cars~!)

I glanced back over the engine and noticed a pink substance jammed into it. Bending down, I smelled the sweet sickening smell of oil and cotton candy mixed together and jerked my head up. "Who the hell put gum in my engine!?"

"Umm…I…I dunno…..maybe Charlie?" I turned to Alise, my eyebrow raised questionably.

"Charlie?"

"Yes…like Charlie the Unicorn."

"How the hell would Charlie the Unicorn have…never mind. We're walking from here on out."

"WHAT!? But we don't know where we are or where the road is or the camp! We could be lost and eaten by wild animals in days without anyone coming to find us!" Alise screamed as she yanked at a good chunk of her black hair. Thankfully she didn't pull hard enough to yank the fibers out.

I ignored her and grabbed my duffle bag and wrote a note on my car before throwing Alise hers. "There's a path right there. I'm sure it leads somewhere and once we find it, we can get help and come back for the rest of our stuff. Now stop you're whining and help me out here!" I watched as Alise grumbled and took off down the path slowly.

Rolling my eyes, I followed her tiredly. It wasn't even nine am and I already want this day to be over. It can't get much worse can it?
