Fic: Forsaken (6/?)

Title: Forsaken (6/?)
Author: [livejournal.com profile] solarbaby614 
Rating: T
Disclaimer: All I own is the plot.
Words: 512
Summary: There were those that were left behind.
Notes: I’m really not sure how I feel about this chapter. I tried for serious, but that didn’t quite work. It's also quite a bit shorter than intended but it gets the story where it needs to go. We’re getting closer and closer to the Mallrats’ return.


oOoOoOoOoOoOo

The sun was just beginning to rise when Mega found himself loading up a jeep the next day. Morning dew still clung to the grass and the air was cool. Brady had still been curled up in bed asleep when he’d woken up, but Paul had already been wide awake stretched out on a couch in the lobby with a book open. Mega had to wonder if Paul ever slept.

‘I still think this is a bad idea.’ Paul signed from where he was sitting in the passenger seat, a foot resting on the open door.

“Probably,” Mega muttered as he tossed a bag of food into the backseat. One thing he had to say for Kitty, it didn’t seem like she was about to let them starve.

‘That’s why I’m going with you.’

That caused Mega to stop dead. “Now why would you want to go do something like that?”

Paul gave him a look that spoke volumes about what he believed about Mega’s intelligence level.

It didn’t surprise Mega. He was beginning to wonder about it himself.

oOoOoOoOoOo

“No. You’re not driving.”

‘Why not?’

“Because I don’t have a death wish.”

“MEGA! MEGA!”

“SIT DOWN!”

‘Don’t yell at her!’

“How do you know I’m yelling?!”

‘Don’t be stupid. And pull over before you kill us all from lack of sleep. You’re cranky enough as it is.’

“MEGA!”

It was all Mega could do not to slam on the breaks as he stopped the car.

Brady started crying.

Paul glared at him.

Mega wondered if it was too late to go back to the city.

oOoOoOoOoOo

They pulled the jeep over when the old dirt road abruptly disappeared into the forest. Mega frowned and glanced over to Paul who looked down at the directions, confused. The light skinned teen shook his head.

“Damn it!” His fist hit the dashboard, causing Brady to look startled from the backseat. “I should have known better than to trust her.” Mega shoved open the door with frustration and climbed out of the vehicle, taking a deep breath.

Paul stepped out with him, once it seemed like the techno had calmed down. He held out the map for his inspection, as well as the directions. He had followed the directions that Kitty had given them but they had to have made a wrong turn somewhere. The map got snatched out his hand in response.

Mega spread it out on the hood of the jeep, following the path they took with his eyes and comparing it to the directions given. Paul just rolled his eyes and grinned at Brady, who had moved up to the front seat and was watching them through the window.

“Well,” Mega said, his voice controlled. “I definitely know where we are.”

‘Where?’

“We’re in the middle of nowhere.” He shoved off the hood and it fluttered to the ground. “Exactly where the directions led us.”

“You’re definitely lost,” a voice came from behind them.

Mega turned around to find himself face to face with the barrel of a shotgun.

“Welcome to Valhalla.”

ooooh, now it gets intriguing. i like the argument in the car. The description of the road just disappearing into the woods gave me a real visual.
