《Adopted by McQueen (humanized) Book One》Chapter 5
Advertisement
The next morning, they got in the truck and continued on their journey. Chloe was sleeping in McQueen's arms lap while Mack was driving.
Mack looked over at her, "Kiddo looks pretty tired."
"She is." McQueen replied rubbing her head, "I don't think that foster care treated her well."
"What makes you say that?" Mack questioned.
"She had a nightmare last night." He answered.
"Everyone gets nightmares, McQueen." Mack chuckled.
"But these are different." He explained, "It looks like that they've been haunting her."
"How do you know?" Mack asked.
"I woke up to her screaming my name." He stopped to move her hair so he could see her peaceful face, "She looked so. . .frightened. It took my 10 minutes to wake her up. It was like she was locked inside her mind."
"I'd keep a close eye on her." Mack said.
"I am." Lightning replied rubbing her head, "I love her."
"I know you do McQueen; that's why you adopted her." Mack answered.
"But the weirdest thing happened when I told Mrs Nelson I wanted to adopt her."
"What do you mean?" Mack asked.
"She tried to make me change my mind." He answered, "Like she tried to tell me that Chloe wasn't worth it."
"That's odd." Mack replied, "She's such a sweet kid."
"That's what I'm confused about." McQueen replied.
Mack parked the truck at the gas station.
"Alright I'm gonna fill up the gas tank and get a few things." He said and got out.
Chloe started crying, "No. . .stop please!"
Lightning realized her nightmare was back. He held her close.
"Stop it hurts!" She cried, "I didn't do anything!"
Her shook her, "Chloe! Wake up!"

She started to squirm and breathe faster. His heart was beating faster with fear.
"Chloe! It's okay!"
He picked her up and hugged her tightly, "You're okay. . .no one will hurt you."
Chloe calmed down and hugged him tightly. McQueen sighed in relief. She sat up and looked at him with tears flooding her face. His heart fell to his stomach.
"Chloe are you alright?" He asked.
She just clanged onto him tightly; not wanting to ever let go.
"You had me so worried." He said hugging her.
"I'm sorry Daddy." She spoke, "I had another nightmare."
"I'm just relieved that you're not hurt." He replied, "How about we stop out and get some fresh air?"
"Okay." She said shakily.
But little did they know something was bond to happen. . . .
