We had been driving for hours and hours and hours just following the road.

I really didn't think this through.

What the heck are we doing?

Am I seriously trying to become a hunter?

I don't even know the demons name.

Where are we even going?

I was tired. Really tired. I'm good at driving. Well I got better. Well I was ok at driving. We hadn't crashed. Yet. The point is I'm not terrible. But I can't drive all night.

"Guys where should we go?" I asked, "I don't think the cops can find us."

"We could check into a motel room." Said Jason.

"I have 20$ in my pocket for emergencies but that's not enough" I said eyes leaving the road for a second. Bad Maria we almost crashed. We needed to sleep. "Guys I think we're going to have to sleep in the car. Which means I need to pull over. If you see anywhere we can sleep without anyone noticing tell me."

"Walmart is open all night right?" Asked Marcey.

"Marcey we can't sleep in Walmart."

"I meant we could park in the parking lot Ethan" Marcey and Ethan don't get along. Ever. They were friends they just really hated eachother sometimes.

"Good idea Marcey." I pulled into the Walmart parking lot.

I pointed at Ethan and Marcey. "Behave. No more arguing. Now go to sleep."

We used our jackets as pillows. I closed my eyes and sat there waiting. Jason was snoring. Alfie was snoring. Ethan. Marcey.

And then I cried. I tore down the walls I had put up and let out everything I had bottled up all day long.

My parents just died.

I don't know what I'm doing.

There's a demon who's after me.

Where are we going?

Why am I having dreams? To be honest this wasn't the first one. This was just the first one about me. It happened every night this week. There was a demon and it killed people. Not the same demon. Different demons.

Why are they coming true?

What the heck am I?

And with these cheerful thoughts I fell asleep.

:::wibbly wobbly timey whimey skip:::

"Boop" Alfie poked my nose.

And I awoke from my nightmares reaching for my squirt gun of holy water and shot him in the face.

"Really, Maria? The water gun"

"You poked my nose." I said defensively.

"We need food." Said Alfie. Of course that's why he woke me up. I guess that was my job now. I'm in charge. Of other people.

I looked at Walmart.

"I have a plan. A highly illegal plan." I smiled. Checking this off my bucket list.

::: time skip brought to you by 11 in a fez:::

We walked into Walmart my moms purse over my shoulder. We had taken it when we took the car keys. We casually walked over to isles where food was.

Alfie stood blocking me from view while I stuffed things into the purse.

Beef jerky, granola bars, Chex mix, dried fruit and some water bottles. Oh my chuck if we get caught.

"Ok time to go. Act natural." I whispered

And we walked out to the car. Right through the doors with our food.

No words.

Fist bump.

:::time skip brought to you by angry turtles (seriously though my brothers turtle is glaring at me as I type):::

We sat at a picnic table at a rest stop eating our stolen breakfast after we had driven away. Fast. Now we were laughing telling jokes.

But I stopped laughing.

"Guys..."

They stopped talking and looked at me.

"I had another dream last night."

"What happened in it." I had they're attention now.

And so I told them.

A/N

Or I guess later today.
