FATE

CHAPTER 12

FREYA

It's been 12 hours since me, Tony, and Luke left home. So far, we have gone to that diner, we went to Walgreens to get that pill, and afterwards we were only three hours ahead. After 2 hours more into driving, Tony needed to get gas, but instead of getting gas. Tony packed all of his things into Luke's truck, and we ditched Tony's car. He thought it would be better to be in one car, so while one person is driving, the other could sleep. I stayed in the back the entire time. Luke and Tony stayed up front. They thought it would be a good idea since the windows are tinted, making it harder for anyone to see me when we are passing through more populated towns. However, they promised to teach me how to drive. I'm just waiting for them to bring it up again. After we switched cars, the boys were talking about how they would trade every three hours, and then, for some reason, I shouted that I would love to drive too. Tony laughed as if I was joking, but gathered himself real quickly and said that him and Luke would teach me soon. Since Tony took the first shift of driving, me and Luke went to sleep for awhile. I woke up to Luke and Tony arguing because, like I said earlier, it was 12 hours since we left home. Tony just drove for the last 5 all on his own. We are now 10 hours away, and we are sure my parents know I ran away, and are already on our tails. The boys switched, and Luke started driving. Tony got on his phone looking for places to live. It's nice because luke's parents will transfer 500 dollars on a card every month, so we can pay for a place. We also plan to get jobs once we get there. We were going to get our fake identification cards changed to make it seem like Tony is mine and Lukes' father. We will be enrolled in school and get part-time jobs for the next few years. Unfortunately, I have to die my hair and start wearing glasses so I can't be recognized. I'm OK with the glasses, but becoming a blonde for the next few years won't be fun. They've already got the fake paperwork being made, and it will be ready for us when we get to the long beach. "Sooo Freya, you've had enough sleep, and I have found our new home for the next four years. Why don't I let you get some time behind the wheel? What do you say?" Tony asked. I nodded my head in excitement as Luke pulled over. He got out, and we both switched places. When I closed my door, I looked at Tony awaiting directions. "Okay, first you need to put your seat belt on just because it's dark and no one is driving right now, doesn't mean you don't need it", he said. I put the strap over me and clicked it on. "Perfect, now check your mirrors, make sure you can see the street from all three of them" he said. First I looked at the passenger one. I made it so I could see out of it then I checked the middle one. I took it down a bit, and was able to see, then I checked the driver's one and did the same thing I had done on the passenger side. "Alright, now start the car and step on the gas" said Tony. I started the car and stepped on the gas. The car started to move forward, and I was driving. Tony kept his hand near the wheel to keep me in the right lane in case I swerved, but after awhile I really got the hang of it. Driving was surprisingly easy, and I kinda liked it. I drove for the designated three hours, and then Luke took back control for the next six hours so Tony could get some sleep. "So Freya, how ya feeling" he asked. I feel pretty good. I'm excited about starting this part of my life, I said. "I'm happy for you to" he said. After that, there was complete silence for ten minutes. I told him I was sorry for taking him away from his former life of being with his family every day. I felt bad, and I hoped he was doing OK. "Listen Freya, I wouldn't change my decision ever, because you are my family. I mean your my sister now according to our identification cards. I have no regrets, I love you Freya and, no matter what, we are in this together now, so I'm not backing out" he said. Thanks Luke for everything. I said. I've never felt apart of a family before and I'm so glad you're my new brother. I love you to Luke so much. "Well, that was adorable. I'm glad you both got that off of your chests. Now, according to the time Luke, you've driven long enough, so I'm going to take over now and you two kids can get some sleep" said tony. I looked over at Luke and he looked back at me and then we all three busted out laughing at his announcement. Luke drove to the closest exit and we all traded spaces. I needed to stretch my legs for a minute, so I took a few laps around the car and then got in the passenger seat. I buckled up, and put my hoodie on so I could cover my face. Luke got in the back so he could rest comfortably and Tony started driving. We drove for thirty minutes, and then stopped to get something to eat. We went through the drive-through so we could get back on the road quicker. After I finished eating, I watched out the window, looking at all the trees pass, and all the beautiful homes. I thought about my future and how I would like to live in such a gorgeous home like that one day. I started to feel sleepy with my thoughts and I fell asleep

TONY

Both the kids are asleep, which is good, they need their sleep and energy for what's coming. I can feel cooper coming closer and closer every day. I fear for Freya's life, because I know he's not the only one after her, and now, after all these years, I have to kill my only brother to keep my niece and her friend safe. I need to get her to California where I can keep her safe, and build my strength to fight my big brother. I sped up by about 20 mph and pulled out my phone. I texted my contact in California to make sure things were being prepared for our arrival. The kids think we will live normal lives in California with me as their adoptive father, and they will grow up to put Mark and Jennifer in cages, but that is not happening. Well, Mark and Jennifer will be put behind bars no matter what. The kids will go to school, which is annoying and a waste of time. I'm just afraid my big brother will find us, before I can teach them how to defend themselves. Ive been constantly spraying the truck, and spraying as we go, so I can throw him off our sent for the time being, but that won't be enough. He will still find us. Juli texted me, and told me that everything was set up for our arrival. We were set up right next to a pack called nightstone. They said they'd protect us, but we had to stay off their pack lands. It took a lot of negotiating, but we came to an agreement after some time. The house we were staying at has an underground bunker in case we needed to hide. It has tunnels we can use to take us to the packhouse. Of course, that is only if we absolutely have to. There is a school nearby for the kids. Not that they will ever need what they learn, but they need to seem like normal kids just in case there's some stupid human onto them. I will not risk putting them in danger. I will give them lessons on there history when they are home, and teach them how to defend themselves as much as I can. Making sure they are enrolled in the same classes together has been hard, but Juli said she's almost got that prepared for them. I decided to spray a bit more on the truck. I slightly opened my window and sprayed the truck from my side. I noticed Freya shuffle a bit, probably from the noise the window was making. I quickly closed it so that she wouldn't fully wake up, and I hid my spay. I watched her intently, and I got to see so much of my sister and my best friend in her. She is the spitting image of both of them. I wish they were still here, but they are not, and I plan to take revenge for their deaths. I just have no idea how I'm going to tell Freya and Luke what they are, and how they became. I know Freya will be devastated about her real parents. They were such amazing people. My older sister took care of both me and cooper. She was more of a mother to the both of us than our own mother. Then cooper became some power-hungry-menace, and killed our sister to get to Freya all because of some stupid profacy. I hope it doesn't come true, because that means both of them are in more trouble then I could ever have known. I plan to tell them everything they need to know when the three of us get to the house. I wish Freya had the chance to meet her birth parents. They were amazing people, the best people in fact. Jacob and Nova had the biggest hearts, and they didn't deserve what happened to them. Freya didn't deserve what happened to her. She was only three years old when she lost her parents. I will kill my brother for everything he has done to my family. He doesn't deserve to walk this earth anymore. I realized my hatred for my brother was taking over, and I needed to calm down. I was going 35 mph over the speed limit, and my hands were changing slightly. I brought my speed down, and pulled my phone out. I looked up how far we were from home. With the three of us nonstop driving, we'd made it 26 hours away, which meant we were over half way there. I looked at both of them still sleeping. I have driven the past six hours straight without sleep, and i know whenever Luke wakes up he will be pissed off with me, but its OK, he needs all his energy, and so does Freya. I kept driving until they woke up. First it was Freya, my niece, who looked just like my sister after sleeping. She immediately came to the realization that she slept the entire night. I put my finger on my lips, and pointed my head towards Luke. She nodded her head, and quietly told me she needed to use the bathroom. I sped up a little bit more to get to a bathroom without losing any time. She pulled out her phone and was looking at something, then showed it to me. She pointed at the screen, and told me I had just driven 8 hours straight. She gave me a frown and went to wake up Luke. I tried to stop her, but she gave me a look that told me to stop. She woke him up, and told him how long I had been driving. I'm pretty sure I saw smoke come out of his ears and nose. He told me to pull over so he could take over. Freya just looked at me with a smirk on her face. I told him to wait until we got to the rest stop, and I glared at Freya for the chaos that she had just caused. As for Luke, he watched me the entire way there. It was only a mile away but it felt like it was five hours before we finally got there with his starring. When we got there, I got out of the truck and dodged a punch from Luke. Freya just stood there and watched with approval written all over her face. She's exactly like nova and I love it. Luke finally stopped trying to pursue me, and we all three went inside to use the bathroom. When we were done, we got back in the car and went to find some food again. We still had 22 hours to go, but we would be there very soon considering how fast we were going to get there. I fell asleep as they both sat up front talking and driving.
