Edilio's POV
we carefully laid Lana and Sam into the truck as everyone piled in. Astrid sat in the bed of the truck holding Sam's head in her lap while Quinn did the same with Lana. I had always suspected something going on between them but this is the first time Quinn has acted upon it showing that he does care about Lana in a different sort of way.
All of the others sat inside the truck while I drove since it seemed I was the only one who still had a clear head after what had happened. I found it really surprising that I wasn't freaking out because I did just get shot. Not a very good experience. I felt like I should leap for joy or something but what needs to be done has to be done and I am that person to do it. There is no time for me to celebrate over not dying what my job right now is to make sure that I don't have to make another two graves and this is the first step.
Since the FAYZ has come up I've gotten the hang of driving. Before I had only driven a few times on dirt roads and now I'm a pro. I may think that now I probably really suck compared to people who actually have their license but since there is rarely traffic I doubt anyone really cares. The Truck jerks and rattles as we bump down the dirt trail from the mind shaft to the highway. The green tree's stream past creating a whirlwind of colors. Everyone in the truck is completely silent, even Brianna who always seems to be blabbering about something but with such a somber mood I can see that she can't even brighten it with her gibbering.
When I looked back at all of their faces all I saw was them all staring back at me like I was the only one who could make decisions since Sam couldn't. Except Dekka she seemed kind of lost in her own world with quick glances over at Brianna. She seemed really worried about her I heard that she was a lesbian, not that I have a problem with it, it's none of my business, but I could see something happening between them if Brianna was gay.
The truck started bouncing around more and I quickly glanced at the road and realized I was no longer on it. I sharply jerked back over and said to myself that I should probably stop worrying about the people behind me and just pay attention to driving. The highway soon came into view; the random cars crashed frozen in time with debris strewn about made it look like a graveyard. To admit something the FAYZ really scared me. I do believe though that it has changed me for the better, made my life something new that I never thought I could do, but sometimes things can get real tough and I just don't know what to do when people look to me and then somehow I do get the job done. I don't like that kind of pressure but sometimes it is thrust upon you like in this instance.
We sped down the highway as fast as I thought safe which happened to be about fifty miles per hour. With me not being a very good driver and obstructions everywhere I think my estimation was pretty well made and another thing with people in the bed of the truck too.
When we arrived in town it seemed some kind of disaster had struck. There were small little fires burning on the street and the smell of smoke still hung in the air. There was also graffiti all over the buildings saying "The Human Crew. Death to FREAKS" things kept getting more and more out of hand but I couldn't worry about that now I had to get Lana and Sam to Dahra before it was too late.
Sorry I'm taking this a little slow but I promise next chapter will be longer and not just driving around. Please Review :)
