That Fateful Day Chapter 6

Warning: This chapter will not make much sense without reading the other five. That said, I will write now.

"I, I, I don't know what happened." Kelsey managed to fumble out. "One minute, I had control, the next minute, I didn't."

"Demons." Matt and Fay said simultaneously.

"Then, why didn't we crash?" Kelsey asked, still in mild shock.

"Angels." Matt and Fay said again together.

"God is really looking out for us." Kelsey said. With that note the three of them said a prayer of thanks together.

About 1 a.m. they stopped at a motel. They were able to get a two bed room and got a cot for Fay. Fay was awoken by the sound of the television. Matt had turned on the news around 7:30 a.m.

"Three college students disappeared from a small town school in Iowa two nights ago. There are some reports from other students that one of them, a 20 year old junior girl named Fay Danford had a gun pointed at her head by one of the professors, but the entire faculty has publicly denied these claims, saying that students must be bored and are making up stories for entertainment. The other two students that have disappeared are 20 year old junior, Matt Kleper and his fiance also 20 years old and a junior Kelsey Brachten." the young woman reporter stated. Pictures of Fay, Matt, and Kelsey showed up on the television screen. "If anyone should see any of these three students please call the school at the number on the screen. In other news..."

Matt turned off the television. He walked over to Fay and was about to shake her when he saw she was already awake and her eyes were wide and full of shock.

"We've got to get out of here." Matt said hurriedly. Fay slowly pulled back the covers and stood up. A knock at the door turned both their heads and Kelsey walked out of the bathroom and turned as well.

"Hey, are you kids ok?" A male voice on the other side of the door asked urgently. "I'm calling your school. You guys can stay here, till someone comes to get you. It'll be safe here. There's breakfast out here."

"We need to get out of here quickly and quietly." Matt whispered. Fay had to strain to hear him. "We're on the first floor. We're going to climb out the window. We've already paid so, we're good to go." Then he went over to the window and slowly and quietly opened it. The man on the other side of the door kept knocking. Matt sent Fay out the window first. She climbed over quickly, a little fear starting to surge through her at the thought of being seen by someone else. Kelsey came out next and Matt finally came out. Then they all ran to the car as quickly as they could and got in with Matt at the wheel.

When they stopped to pick up food they all wore sunglasses in hopes of keeping their identity safe. Fay got the night shift for driving. Kelsey was out cold in the front seat and Matt was out cold in the back seat. Fay turned on the radio at a soft volume, she flipped stations until she got to one that was playing "Fire Inside" by Bob Seger. As the song played on, tears begin to fall down Fay's face as she remembered her dad driving, her mom in the front passenger seat, and herself, a little girl, in the back, on a long drive to her grandparents, and this song blaring and her father singing. She really missed them. She wished they were still here with her. Unfortunately, this trip wasn't so happy, and they had no clue where they were even going.
