Chapter 121 - A Soon Coming Change - III
Every time she would look at the pendant box you would just end up crying because of the emotions that she had buried in her heart. It was not easy dealing with them and added and had never bothered to ask for a certain way or just go to a therapist because of hair fall stop frankly none of the therapist would never believe her words about the supernatural and in her mental instability those were the main cause of it.
Who woudl ever believe her? And she did not have the strength to go back to her father's killer's too.
Still she tried our level best and why does tears were washed her face and then changed into a night suit after which she went to bed. Even the night consisted of dreams of having her back in her lover's arms.
*******
She was ready, she concluded.She gave out a shaky sigh as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a sweater and the jacket was on her bed and which was going to be on her when she was going to reach the destination which was a bit colder than it was here.
She was ready, she concluded again. Stepping back from the mirror she once again checked check if she had everything that she wanted packed or not. It was trip for 3 days in our talented not want to have anything missing from her and making her even slightly outside in this gateway. She was checking account I was moved to every corner of the room and interferon the box that had the pendant inside it.
It won't hurt her, would it? She bit her lips as she thought about it.
She went to get it hurriedly, rolled it together and then placed it on the pocket of her bag. She did not have to wear anything but you just keep it in her bag. She did not know why she had done this but maybe it was just at the spur of the moment or maybe she knew the truth, she just wanted him to be close.
She sighed at her actions but sometimes it was hard controlling her hearts desire. She picked up the back and walked down the stairs where her aunt was ready in the car. Tessa was more excited that herself. Perhaps her aunt wanted to see some positive change in her.
"Come on love," Tessa grinned, "Have chat everything one last time? Are you sure have a fact everything that you might need?" She aksed again to which Adeline nodded.
"Yes. Do not worry, Aunt Tessa. I have everything I could need for three possible days and even more." She giggled, excitement was getting to her too.
"Alright then," Tessa shifted the gear and reversed to the parking, "To the station." She announced like a commentator.
Bus station was where they were driven to. She had to be dropped there and meet everyone that was the rest of the group along with the rest of the guides there only. Her aunt had checked in with the the organiser of the trip and now they were ready to leave.
"It's a five from drive from here. Keep me updated, yeah?" Adeline nodded as her aunt pulled her in for a bug bear hug. "And, make good choices and if they have drinks, it is completely your choice but do not in any circumstances do drugs." She chided and Adeline looked away. "I can take drunk kids but not druggies, okay?"
"I won't. I know." She mumbled shyly. She knew better then that. She was also aware that Aunt Tessa often checked her room to see if with grief and depression wheter Adeline was taking any harmful steps or trying substance abuse or not. It was really important.
Tessa nodded and kissed her forehead. "Bye. Take care and come back safely." She smiled.
Adeline said the word backs and watched as her aunt sat in the car and waited for them to leave first.
She once again waved by to her aunt and then moved to the trunk of the bus with their bags were being kept. Placing hers in it as well she moved to set inside the bus and took a window seat, hoping that no one would sit with her. Solitary was what she needed.
"Hey!" Someone tocuhed her shoulder and she jumped up. Frowning, she turned around immediately.
"What are you doing here?" Noah asked with his frown of his own looking over upset.
"Me?" She pointed to herself. "What are you doing here?" She asked him instead with an annoyed expression. She wanted to be alone!
He scoffed. "Adeline, I told you I was going on a trip and this is very much a trip and I'm going on it. So now what are you doing here?"
She mumbled a quiet oh and then answered him, "My aunt thought it would be a good retreat for me. So here I am for three days, climbing hills and whatnot." She shrugged feeling of world that she had met him here where she was expecting to be alone and working on herself.
She really did not want him there. Run-ins with him would only be awkward for everyone to watch.
"Well no worries then," he shrugged himself, "You wanna sit with me?" He offered.
Adaline shook her head and pointed to the book in her hands. "I was hoping to catch onto a little reading."
"Ah," he nodded and she saw strange twinkle in his eyes but disregarded it. It was too quick for her notice and should shows to ignore it instead. "Alright then I will leave you to it." He said and then walked away leaving her alone and in peace.
********
The bus finally came to go stop and her book closed as they were all getting off the bus. Adaline leisurely followed them all behind at the bad because she did not want to be involved in a huge crowd.
Taking her bag along with the others they all went inside and in which was at the end of the woods.
"Alright then," the organiser called them all close. "I'm Mr. Mose and you will call me that. Usually I am not as track but I am keeping in mind that you are all teenagers should disciplining you would be my top priority so that you do not step out of your line and land up in some kind of danger." He paused for effect and glanced around at everyone's faces. "You must remember that we are in the wild and you will not be the safest because of which we will be keeping you in the areas where there is the least sighting of the wild animals, by least I mean then never come down here."
"But won't that be like . . . Up for a chance?" A boy raised his hand and spoke up.
Mr Mose nodded. "Yes, good you are paying attention. Animals also have the survival instinct more than it could be found anywhere else. Because of which they will not come near the place where there is a crowd of humans especially down from the hill and the densely forested area. So you have nothing to worry about." He clapped husbands and a woman came forward.
"Hello beautiful people," she smiled and Adeline thought it was beautiful. "I am Maya. And I will be telling you what will happen during the three days you will be staying here. Today our advice would be you going to bed early so that we can wake up and start our hike early in the morning. We would be spending tomorrow night in the clearing, out in the open and below the stars." She sighed blissfully. "It will be beautiful." She gushed happily making everyone chuckle at her. "You will love the beauty of the mountains."
"The next day, which is saturday, you will be enjoying the clearing and the activities that we have planned for you and the day after that we would be coming down and you will spend your night in the inn just like you will tonight." She finished. "Any questions?" She looked at all of them expectently. But what could they all ask? It were simple and please give instructions where doubts could not arise.
"Can I get your number?" A boy throws his hand and shouted from where he shouted making everyone looked at him and laugh.
Mr. Mose growled. "That's my wife!" He yelled making the boy flinch back in return and surrendered his arms. He loooked scared.
"Alright then!" Maya clapped excitedly, unaffected by what what happened in front of her. "Each room will have three beds and we are making sure that the same gender stays in one room. And or advice would be for you all to strictly follow that because you are under age." She said strictly and sternly. "Now, come on, I'm sure you all would love to have some food."
