After about ten minutes of driving Niki and Tina had fallen asleep, I was writing in my diary in the silence of the car. Spazz looked over at me for a quick second then back to the road before he said, "What are you writing Crystal?" I stopped writing and looked at him with worry hoping he did not see what I had written down and said, "This is my diary I have to take it everywhere I go."
Spazz asked in a gentle tone, "Did you write about today? If so how can I make this a little bit more comfortable for you and the others?" I smirked at his comment and said," Yes I have written in my diary about today Spazz, and to your question, you make us a little more comfortable by explaining to me what exactly you guys are, and why are you driving a regular car?" Spazz looked over at me again for a moment before thinking heavily about what he was about to say in response to my question.
Spazz chuckled softly before a smirk played across his face and said, "Well Las, it is fairly simple in all honesty we need to blend into society if we don't we will be hunted if not worse. We also want to live in society normally like you and everyone else... well mostly that is, there are some among my kind that do not want to live in human society but in the wild as wolves, or the other Fauna." After he said this everything fell silent again, after what seemed like an hour later, Tina started to wake up and said groggily, "Are we there yet?" Spazz shook his head faintly then said, "Not yet Las, if you ladies want to visit some places, to get away from the supernatural for the time being we can I would encourage you all to think about places you would like to visit first before we get to the Alliance."
Niki spoke up in a soft tone, almost as if she was uneasy about bringing up what she was about to ask for. "I would like to go to the Hot Springs in Arkansas. Crystal and I had told each other we would go there someday to relax." Spazz had pulled over to take out his phone and put in the address for the Hot Springs in Arkansas. Spazz nodded slightly before he started driving again and smirked faintly," I have been there it is a beautiful and relaxing place to go when you are having a hard time in life even brought my wife there with me once, and she absolutely, loved it."
Tina looked at everyone seeming nervous," I want to go sightseeing in Washington DC if that would be okay?" Spazz just reached over and typed something absent-mindedly in the phone before looking at me. "and you Las? Where would you like to go?" He asked before looking back to the road, To be honest, I had no clue where I wanted to go I did want to travel the world, but at that moment I did not see that as much of an option since I was shoved into the supernatural world, I looked at Spazz and said, "I want to travel the world but for something a little simple I would like to go to see the Empire City." Spazz chuckled and everyone else looked confused, Tina then asked," Where is Empire City?"
Before I could say anything, Spazz said, " Empire City is New York City, New York and that is where we will be going to after Arkansas Hot Springs and DC." Niki looked to Spazz confused before saying, "Why can't we spend more time at the other sites in different states like for example Mississippi River?" Spazz looked into the rearview mirror before answering her question. " Is that another sight you would like to see las? if so let me know and we will go there and spend a little bit of time there, but here is something for you las, we are here at the hot springs," he said as we pulled into a parking lot of the Arkansas Hot springs, Spazz looked back to Niki and smiled before looking at me. " See las not everything is as it seems." he then turned off the car and got out of the car waiting for us, I looked at my phone seeing it had only been about one hour and thirty minutes since we left Killeen, how was this possible?
Tina, Niki, and I got out of the car and followed Spazz into the small cottage-looking cabin but the inside was bigger than the outside. When all four of us entered the cabin, an elderly woman walked from the back room to the front to greet us with a friendly smile, and when she spotted Spazz. She said, "Well, I see a Garu before my eyes, It has been far too long for me to socialize one of the supernatural beings. I wonder what your wife going to say when she sees these three pretty ladies with you Spazz."
Spazz chuckled and said, "Hello Mrs. Wonder, Kitty wouldn't mind me with these three young las's she would understand nothing going on. Plus, she knows I was with A'kreath looking for our friend who disappeared on us for a very long time, so how about we get you three a bath, and I sit out here to talk to this lovely las?" he paid her for a bath for all three of us and she handed us robes and a basket for our mundane clothes, and she lead us to the hot springs and opened the door. " Here we are Ladies, please enjoy your baths and let the healing waters help to sooth your souls and aching bodies." she then walked back to Spazz, Tina, Niki and I walked into the hot springs it was almost hard to breath with the hot and moist air in the hot springs.
