I dislike long car rides as much as the next person, now factor in the tension between two women who seem to fighting for the 'alpha female' position and it gets worse. Amy seems to be angry with both me and Nikki for what happened last night, or specifically didn't happen. Nikki seems to be angry with Amy for being angry with us, she keeps saying that Mary is bringing too much negative energy into the environment.
I threw on my headphones and stopped paying attention to the argument after Nikki gave her theory that this cult or whatever it is would want me in the fold because they view me as some kind of unfinished project and that they would want her because of her power. I can't help but think that my life was just so much simpler before I decided to take a chance and talk to a girl I thought might be interesting. Before I met Nikki I was just the weird guy in town that worked at the book store and didn't talk to many people. Now I'm sitting in the back seat of a near stranger's car traveling to a place I swore I'd never go back to, to find and/or save someone I really don't want to see anymore. I was completely zoned out, listening to a mix CD I made for someone many moons ago, but was too cowardly to give her, when they both looked at me. Nikki turned around quickly and concentrated on the road again. Mary just stared at me like i had three heads. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I pulled my headphones off as I spoke. "Because Nikki just asked you a question. How long have you been ignoring us?" Amy reached over the seat and slapped my leg. "Let's see, I'm on track ten, so about forty minutes. Give or take." I checked the number on my CD player before I responded. "Christ Seven, you always seem to zone out at the worst moments. We've been talking about how we're going to go about finding the cult and getting Mary out of wherever she is." I nodded dumbly because that's what I do most of the time. "From the hand motions and what I could only interpret as yelling I figured you two were about to kill each other or something." "Oh Seven, that couldn't be further from the truth. Amy and I are getting along great. We have a lot in common and I think after this is all over we'll be great friends." Amy shook her head quickly while Nikki wasn't looking at her, obviously they each had their own interpretation of what had transpired between them while I wasn't paying attention. This only furthered my belief that all women secretly hate each other. "I figured you two would come up with a plan eventually. I figure we'll need some kind of help with anything that we're going to do. You saw the trouble I had with Aaron. Even with your magic and our ability fight, we're not going to stand against a large force." "Holy shit, the boy can think every-so-often. Wait, you're not thinking of who I think you're thinking of, are you?" I sat up and looked her straight in the eye, "Yes, yes I am. The Priest."
