Episode 13

Miah gasped. Her world was dark, and shadowy forms moved around her.  Something touched her leg.  She looked down to see a red-headed girl fall to the ground before her.  Miah screamed and backed up, bumping into something.  She turned, wide-eyed, to see a man pointing a gun at her.  Before she could react he pulled the trigger.  Suddenly, she felt herself thrown to the side, and heard the sound of car wheels screeching. 

She opened her eyes to find herself in the passenger seat of Connor’s car again. She’d been dreaming.  Relief flooded her senses, and she tried to go back to sleep again, glad to be rid of her dream.  But as she found herself waking to her surroundings, it became clear Connor was racing down the highway.  Speeding. She turned quickly to look behind them and saw a large black truck following them closely. 

“They found us?!” she gasped.

“Yep!” Connor grinned and swerved, barely missing the median as their road merged into two. 

Miah gripped the door handle, holding on for dear life, and stared at the road ahead.  A large van was stopped across the road, right in front of them. “Connor!”

“I know, I know; I see it!” He made as if to run straight into the front of the van, but swerved at the last moment. 

“You’re going to run into the ditch! Connor!” Miah screamed, and threw her arms around her head.

The car jerked about violently, and then she had the sensation that they were flying through the air. Then there was a sickening crunch, and everything stopped.
