Stained
“Casa Loma, seven miles. Dutch Flat, five miles. A teensie town would peek over a hill or around a bend, and for a full minute the windshield would flash in reds and yellows.
But as quickly as they appeared, the oases would vanish. The dark would return, and Julia's eyes would slip shut as she gazed at the black sky. Then the horizon would light up again.
They were near the California border. Or maybe they had crossed it. Julia couldn't remember. The land looked the same: small, rolling hills, t...rees in twos, threes, fours, and fives, and little communities gone as quickly as they popped up. Half asleep, it was hard to tell where the road ended and her dreams began.
She tried to imagine herself in a town smaller than her old high school, but she was never sure if she would fit in or fall out. Were these the sorts of places that embraced lonely, hunted girls and half-demons with missing memories? Or was anything out of the ordinary out of the question?
Cayne, who would probably stick out like a broken middle finger anywhere--okay, he might fit in at an Unnaturally Good Looking People Who Are Also Kind of Intimidating Convention--made an impatient noise.MoreLess
