Matthew woke up that, on the side of the road. He threw on his hoodie that he used as a blanket last night, and then started walking through the woods and down the road again. His eyes were still tense and kept straight ahead, heading toward some kind of rest stop.
"Matt, ye in 'ere, lad?" Lass said within his mind, but there was no answer back, "I think The First es stell in control. It's been almost a whole day now."
"This is rather impressive." Brian said, walking beside Matthew as his shadow on the ground, "He has been running on bare minimums for essentially everything, and going toward somewhere."
"Brian, this's serious!" Lass said, "This's scary! The First 'as nevah taken control for thes long. We have to try and pull it away from Matthew."
"How?" Brian said, "Explain one time We managed to overpower The First and take control? We're just passengers now, Lass."

As they stop inside Matthew's mind, he had reached a gas station, and simple stood by one of the pumps, for hours upon hours. Cars came and left, but Matthew still stood there waiting while under control of The First. The only time things seemed to change was when a bus would show up. The First would pull out the syringe it had Matthew take from the lab and then look between it and the bus. It did this between many buses that passed, all while standing that station.
"Ugh, what is this blood thing doin' now?" Lass groaned, "This is so dull."
"Would you calm yourself?" Brian said, "This could be a chance to figure out where The First is going or what it is after."
"Revenge." Lass said, her tone of voice sounding more wicked than before. "Tha-all PAY for what 'as happened."
"What are you talking about?" Matthew's shadow shifted to look directly at Matthew's body, "How would you know that?"
For a moment, there was silence from Lass, "I... I don't know... I just... felt like... that's what it wanted... it wasn't just to kill to kill it was something far more."
The First had Matthew moving again, this time it was toward one of the buses. Matthew stepped aboard and took a seat, and then he started looking to the syringe again, and the label that was on it.
"I think it's pretty clear who The First wants its revenge on." Brian said, now a blackened mess on the seat beside Matthew, "I suppose the questions lie in, how will it do it, and where does this road of revenge lead?"
