It was nice riding in the Cadillac again. It was nice just to be out of the house. It had only been a few days (or perhaps as much as four, she couldn’t quite remember) but it felt like she’d been cooped up in that house for a week. Charlie had no idea where they were headed, but she trusted that it would all make sense eventually.

Caroline came back after an hour or so, just as she said she would. Charlie hopped up and went to the garage when she heard the door rumble up and saw the big white car roll in. Caroline smiled at her as she climbed out of the car and tossed Charlie the keys.

“Do you know how to drive?” she asked. Charlie shook her head, looking at the shiny keys in her hand. A gaudy plastic keychain hung from them with the words ‘I got lucky in Las Vegas!’ printed on the side. “Well, then I guess we’ll have to fix that,” she said, looking around the garage as if she’d lost something. After a moment of this, she stopped and looked up at Charlie and smiled.

“Hungry?” she asked, eyebrows raised.

“I think so. I’m not sure,” Charlie said. She definitely felt a pulling inside her, demanding something. It wasn’t the same as hunger as she understood it before. Hunger for food. That gurgling, intestinal pull. This was more like anxiety or an impulse. An aching need for something. A need for blood, certainly, though it helped Charlie to think about it in more abstract terms.

“Well, let’s go have us some dinner,” Caroline said.
