Chapter 22

We got in line at the cafeteria. It wasn’t that long so we were able to get our food before long. Good thing, too; I was starving. I grabbed a grilled cheese sandwich, chicken fingers, and a slice of triple berry pie with some milk to wash it all down. Taylor got a burger and fries and a Dr. Pepper to drink. Stephen ordered some weird looking meat dish, a salad, and water.

“So, Stephen, what is that you got,” I asked as we sat at the table.

“Stuffed rabbit. It’s pretty good if you want to try some.”

“No thanks, I’m good.”

“See, even the food around here is weird,” Taylor said.

“I know what you mean. They brought me some green spaghetti dish the other day and it knocked me out for two days.” I stated.

“That’s because it was sanitatem spaghetti, also known as healing spaghetti. It knocks you out to speed up the healing process. It’s a special recipe.” Stephen chimed.

“Oh, well I’m almost good as new so I guess it really works.” I said.

We finished our meal. Stephen went to study while Taylor and I went to see Mary in her office. I told her about my visions and my quest. She gave Taylor the go ahead in joining me. She said that the seers in the coven have been getting visions of the war also and when the time was right, Lunam Deam and their allies would join us.

Taylor and I left the next morning after breakfast. We packed our stuff and gathered some supplies then headed out. We took Taylor’s car, driving south until we got to M-50 E. We stopped in Erie, Pennsylvania for gas, bathroom, and a meal. Then continued on the I-90 E. We had to stop in Buffalo, New York almost two hours later for the bathroom again. Neither of us had ever actually eaten at a gas station before and we were reluctant to do it again. Once finished, we continued on the I-90 E. When we got to Massachusetts, we stopped at Lee Service Plaza to refuel, eat and use the bathroom. We didn’t eat at the gas station this time. Instead we took our time and ate at McDonald’s. Then we continued on I-90 E for a few hours.

We arrived in Boston. It was very beautiful. We refueled, took a bathroom break, and got a meal. Next we just needed to figure out where we were going to stay. We agreed to stay in the car until we could find a decent apartment to live in. We would probably be here for a while.
