Chapter 76
~Adela~
F**K!l What the f**k just happened? One minute I'm close to getting Landon back, and the next, I'm hiding from my pack. I'm grateful that I have always kept a few warriors in my inner circle. I was given a heads-up that they were tasked to find Aida and me and throw us in the cells. Can you imagine me in the cells?!
I quietly run through the woods; I step over logs and twigs. If I land too heavily, I could make a noise I don't want to make. I stop at the treeline and peer out to the land in front of me. It's empty, and I can make a straight line to my destination. I need to make sure I'm quick enough not to get caught. Getting caught will kill everything I have been working on, and I've put too much time in to do that.
I take a deep breath and take off. My feet barely graze the ground underneath me. My lungs are starting to burn, but I can't stop. I make it to my destination and pull the window up, praying that it will give way. Luck is on my side tonight, and I'm grateful. I bet all of those years of training are coming in handy with this task. I used to complain to Adela all the time about the training, but it was useful in the end.
Adela......I miss her. My twin and I have been estranged for a while now, and I hate it. I just need to do this, and once it's complete, I can be with my sister again. I'm doing this for us, and I know she'll appreciate the effort.
I step through the window and head upstairs. I stop on the stairs to listen to my surroundings. There's no noise, so I'm pretty sure that I'm alone. I slip into the room and take what I've come to get. I head back downstairs and out the window, closing it behind me.
I set out across the land again. This location is going to be much harder, but I have to make it there. “I know,” 1 whisper harshly. “I need to make it over there so I can get it. I don't need you hassling me.” I swear I don't need to the backseat driving. I know what I'm doing.
My plan was almost foiled when I found out warriors were looking for me. I had to lay low for a few days to gather a new plan. I just need to get through tonight successfully, and I can continue with my original plan. “Would you shut the f**k up?! I got this, get out of my head!" I stop behind a tree and listen. There is no noise, and I know I need to do this now, or my moment will be lost. I take a look around to confirm that I'm alone. I quickly take off into the night. It's time to finish this and get what's mine.
