Read And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) Chapter 67

Chapter 67: On the Road Again

Two hours.
That’s how long Kate and I had been driving and my ass was sore from our journey. I
should have suggested we took my car because Kate’s small compact vehicle was not
meant for long-distance journeys.
Even if I was short and petite, I had junk in my trunk and the seat was killing
this cushioning.
“Are we there yet?” I asked her again after the hundredth time. Her eyes slowly
narrowed as she looked at me with frustration.
“If you ask me that one more time, so help me, I will pull this car over.
Laughter erupted from my lips at her comment. She reminded me so much of my mother
growing up when we went on trips. “I’m sorry. Why don’t we pull off at the next
exit and take a potty break and get coffee?”
The sound of coffee made Kate’s eyes perk up, and a grin crossed her lips. “Deal,
but this is the last stop, Ivy. We literally have two hours left and if you keep
this up, we will never get there.”
“Two hours?” I repeated with confusion. “He’s that close?”
Opening and closing her mouth, she tilted her head and sighed, “not exactly.”
“You know I hate it when you answer with that. It lets me know that shit’s going to
get more chaotic for me than just riding in your tiny ass car.
“Hey!” she snapped. “Don’t you talk bad about Black Betty. This car is a machine
and will out do yours any day of the week.”
She was right. The damn car was a beautiful machine, but at the same time, it
wasn’t comfortable. “Pain before beauty.”
“Damn straight, bitch,” she grinned, pulling off on the exit way headed towards a
small town with one gas station and a few small diners. There wasn’t much here, but
food and coffee sounded great.
“I want a last meal before I do.” I teased her as she pulled into the gas station
to fill up and turned to stare at me.
“Don’t say shit like that
you’re not dying, Ivy.”
Perhaps I wasn’t actually going to die… or at least I hoped that wouldn’t be the
case.
“Regardless, I need food.” I smiled at her, watching as she rolled her eyes before
getting out to pump gas.
Letting my eyes wander, I took in the area two hours from the pack and admired how
lush and green it was. We were high in the countryside, and the size of the small
town we were in showed just how secluded life really was here.
We had only just passed through the Canadian border, and from what Damian had said
before, Talon was deep within the Canadian wilderness. His animalistic instincts
kept him in the forests, and my clothing was not doing anything to control the cold
that bit at me.
Furrowing my brow, I pulled myself from my thoughts as Kate got back in the car. My
eyes lingered on a figure walking into the gas station I swore I recognized before.
“Kate… that man right there in the black coat with the white ball cap. Doesn’t he
look familiar?”
