-There, I tried something new : ) -
-oh, I don't own Darkest Powers!-
Cleo's POV
We were now on our way to Minnesota. We were going to try and find a demi-demon named Troy. From what Lauren told us he's 17 years old, and lived with his aunt, who was also a demi-demon. I hoped that maybe they would come along with us, we needed another adult, it was getting hectic with 6 teens and only 2 adults.
Pretty soon everything would be running wild!
We were currently only about 2 hours away from the border, and I couldn't wait to get out of Canada. Me, Sam and Tori were all told about Caitlyn's predicament. I felt so bad for her! But I knew she wouldn't want any of us to feel bad for us, we've all had our hardships, but look at us now! A lot of us are as happy as we can be.
I didn't have the roughest life out of any of the others, but mine hasn't been no walk in the part either! My dad died when I was little, right in front of me, and my mom ended up being admitted into an insane asylum after she tried to kill herself. I was living with my grandfather, but he wasn't too pleased with me living there, he preferred to me on my own. So when I was sent to the group home he couldn't have been happier, so when the gang came to pick me up from his house, I didn't think twice about joining them.
It was the best decision of my life! I'm with people I can call my family, and with a boy who actually understands me (mostly because he's had a lot of the issues I've had. I mean, 'magical' problems)
I started to get tired, so I leaned my head onto Sam's shoulder, and passed out right away.
Dalton's POV
I couldn't believe what this beautiful, amazing girl has gone through. How could her father just abandon her, and her brother treat her like shit? How could they do that without feeling bad?
I wanted to punch anyone out who hurt her. I just wondered where all this anger was coming from, I'm usually not a very angry person.
It hurt so much seeing her this scared. I kept trying to reassure her that everything will be ok. She seemed to get more and more relaxed with the further away we got from Alberta. We were almost at the Minnesota border, but we had stopped to have a short break, grab some gas, and snacks. Caitlyn was laughing at something Chloe said, and I couldn't help but notice how beautiful her smile was. Sam cam up and punched me in the shoulder playfully.
"Dalton's got a crush! Dalton's got a crush!" He sang in my ear. Cleo and Tori laughed as they walked up to talk with the girls.
"Yeah, right." I said, trying not to sound upset. I didn't have a crush! I mean, I couldn't. I just met Caitlyn yesterday, and she's definitely out of my league.
"Yeah, you definitely do Dalton," Derek said, "It's obvious."
I knew my face went a little red at that statement, but I tried to just ignore it. Thankfully Kit decided to round us all up into the vehicles so we could get on the road again. It was nearing 7:30 pm, and he wanted to get at least an hour away from the border. The guy we were trying to find lived only a few hours into Minnesota.
This time, Chloe, Derek, and Tori went with Lauren in the car, leaving me, Sam, Cleo, Simon and Caitlyn in the van with Kit.
Sam and Cleo ran straight into the very back seat so they could cuddle, and Simon went to his usual seat in the front seat with Kit, leaving me and Caitlyn to sit in the bucket seats.
For the next hour or so it was a quiet ride, mostly because Simon yelled at us if we talked. He had put on his favourite CD to listen to. It was some up-beat poppy stuff that I didn't like, but Cleo was mumbling along, so at least one other person in the car wasn't hating it.
I was looking at the window, zoning out a bit while day dreaming. I day dreamed of sitting on the couch watching a movie, and when I looked at my lap Caitlyn's head was laying there, sleeping.
Woah. Wait a minute. Where did THAT come from? I looked over at Caitlyn and she was asleep, she looked so peaceful, it made my heart skip a beat.
I tried to join her in sleepy town. After a few minutes, I dozed off.
