Skyler Thorne shoved the gas nozzle into the car's empty tank. She squeezed the trigger, hearing the brown fluids move its way through the tube like a rush of water. She popped up the stopper, clicking it in place before leaving the nozzle to attend to itself. She leaned her back lightly against the ebony vehicle, her charcoal boot rested above the tire as she waited.<br/><br/>She pushed her heap of auburn hair from the back of her hot neck and pulled it to the side, letting it rest along the length of her arm. She twiddled her long hair through her fingers, the color had become reddened over the many months she spent outdoors, the sun baring against her. Her skin told the same story; a sun-kissed glow covered the length of her body, leaving no spots untouched as she prefered to tan in the nude.<br/><br/>She stared out to her right, her pale green eyes focusing into the distance. The black asphalt stood out against the area, filled with desert; the tanned sand spread across the land, dominating the area. The wind moved, pushing specks of sand across the horizon creating small heaps of clouded dust. A few shrubs dotted the land, the only life that seemed to greet her for miles.<br/><br/>She jumped slightly as the nozzle clicked, signifying it was finished. She pushed the nozzle back into the pump before closing the car's gas cap with a few quick clicks. She rested her arms along the car's warm roof, her hair swayed in her face, "Are you guys ready? I'm ready to leave" she yelled out. "I'm still in a bundle of nerves" she added quietly.
