We pick up shitty gas station burritos and bottled water, then check into the only motel in town: a run-down hovel so close to the interstate that every passing car shakes the walls.

Kian insists on one room for all of us, which quite frankly, I’m not okay with. On the other hand though, I get what he’s doing. Keeping an eye on me, making sure I don’t run or do something stupid. I have the same innate desire to keep an eye on the three of them, too, so I don’t argue. No use splitting up, not when we’re this close to the antidote.

But damn. Two days in this dingy, beige hellhole with them.

Kill me now.

I set my bottle of water on the table and sink into a wobbly chair to unwrap my burrito, my gaze sliding over the room. My motel back in Oscura looks like a damn four-star hotel next to this roach trap. The blankets are covered in suspicious white stains, and the walls have two decades’ worth of yellow cigarette smoke damage. There are burn marks on the tabletop, and the carpet feels tacky beneath my boots. Despite the overall neglect, a hint of bleach on the air tells me it’s clean, at least. Or if not clean, at least the surfaces are disinfected.

Malix kicks back on one of the two double beds and turns the television on before balancing his food on his legs to eat. Kian sits on the edge of the other bed, looking like he’s ready to launch into action at any moment, while Frost takes the chair across from me. He keeps his attention firmly on his burritos, but I have no doubt he’s just as aware of me as I am of him. His warm, spicy scent is a complement to the spices in my food.

Malix has stopped channel surfing on some sitcom with a laugh track, and every time the audience roars at a joke, I get a twitch in my eye.

Nothing to do now but settle in and wait.

I take a bite of my burrito, cringing when the exterior is hotter than lava and the interior is still half-frozen. I force myself to chew and not gag, though I almost consider tossing this in the trash and going to chase down a rabbit instead.

I’m antsy now, and sitting in this room for two days sounds like the worst form of torture. Cooped up with the three men who threaten not only my life but also my independence. I’m ready for this to be over—to get the antidote, end the truce, and fulfill what I came here to do.

After Kian finishes his three burritos in two bites, then chugs his water, he slams the empty bottle to the bedside table and declares, “Dibs on first shower.”

Malix balls up his burrito wrapper and throws it at him. “Fuck you, man.”

Standing, Kian raises one sardonic eyebrow. “Did you sacrifice your flesh for the witch?”

I snort, and Malix tosses me a grin. “I guess not, boss.
