Chapter Eight

As soon as we could, we were packed up for the day and on the road. The short drive felt like an eternity to me. My head was filled with different scenarios and thoughts the entire time I was driving. Would this be the end of our journey? Would there be more after this? I barely even paid attention to the road in front of me. Just enough to not get into a wreck and die. (You know EXACTLY what I’m talking about.)

As we got closer to where the coordinates led, the trees became fuller and the cars became more and more nonexistent. Eventually, we pulled onto a dirt road that led to a dead end. As I put the car in park, I checked the GPS on my phone to make sure we were in the right spot. “We’ll have to walk from here,” I explained as I looked over to Freya, then down to her boot. Would she be able to walk the rest of the way?
