Vessel X Reader/OC (Sleep token)

Chapter 1

hi, as a niche ish band I know this won't get many reads so please let me know if it's any good or not if you have a sec 💕)

I groan as my car comes to a stop. The light had told me to check my engine about fifteen miles ago, but it's not exactly an option in the wilderness.
On the bright side; I'm not stupid. I have a survival pack in the back because knowing my luck, I foresaw this exact situation. I tip my head back in frustration, and through my sunroof see stars peppered around the sky. There are worse nights to be stuck outside in.
I get out of my car and pop the bonnet, carefully lifting it up. There's significant smoke coming from the engine, which, even a non-driver could tell you, is not a good sign.
After a little bit of digging my problem is pretty obvious. Broken head gasket. Even if I could replace the part, I haven't got a clue how to replace it, if I'm honest. Groaning again, I angrily slam the bonnet, and a few birds fly from the trees. Whoops.
First rule of survival is stay put and wait for rescue. But a hundred miles into a forest: no one's coming for me. I put my backpack on, and turn on my flashlight. Not much point in that, thanks to the trees, I can barely see five feet in front of me. I know there's a main road sixty or seventy miles northish. Sounds like ages, but I can knock that out in a few days. It's gonna be fine.
I check my compass and head vaguely north for a few hours. My feet are burning by now, so I place my bag on the ground and stretch. As I look up, I noticed smoke rising through the sky.

Oh, thank god.

People.
