"I can explain," Isabel blurted out quickly.
"Explain what exactly? That you were eavesdropping on my conversation? What else is there to explain?" Adrian questioned with a questioning look on his face.
The last time he saw Isabel this up close was about two weeks ago which was when they had their messy argument. It didn't even occur to him until today that he hadn't seen her in quite a while and he also did not remember why they had even argued the last time they saw each other because of how busy he had been seen then with other things. He knew that they didn't get along very often and as far as he knew, Isabel was always picking a fight with him over the most ridiculous things.
"I know it seems like I was eavesdropping and all but that wasn't exact
"Are you nervous?" Isabel asked as she noticed Amelia rubbing her sweaty palms together."I'm not exactly nervous per say, it's more like, I'm hoping that I'm making the right decision with this," Amelia replied, still rubbing her palms together.She had thought about everything thoroughly and had made up her mind that Camille had a point and that she really needed to put herself out there but now that she was just about to walk in and express her thoughts to Adrian, she was doubting whether or not she was making the right choice.She still remember what Ryan and Adrian had told her when she first got and it was about her needing to keep a low profile for her safety and for Isabel's safety as well but Camille had advised her to do the exact opposite b
"I really think that you should listen to Adrian, Amelia. I absolutely do not agree with your decision to go in there knowing very well that you could get hurt," Isabel said to Amelia in a stern and strict tone.She knew that Amelia could be a hot head sometimes and that she could be very impulsive with her decisions and that was why she felt like she had to be the friend that snapped Amelia out of any foolish decision she was about to make. At the moment,she strongly believed that what Amelia was planning to do, was definitely something that she should not be doing because going into Ryan's room when she wasn't very certain about his condition was almost like walking into the lion's den and willingly accepting to put your life at risk.Adrian had also cautioned Amelia and told her about the risk of walking into Ryan's ro
"Well, look who finally decided to show up!" Mathieu exclaimed as he watched Camille. "Don't be so loud!" Camille warned him quickly, not wanting to draw any attention to herself. She had hurriedly left the pack earlier in order to meet up with Mathieu because he hadn't stopped sending her messages and asking her to meet up with him. "Relax yourself and stop being so paranoid. It's not like anyone's gonna hear me," Mathieu responded dismissively and Camille rolled her eyes at him. "What exactly do you want from me, Mathieu? Why are you here?" Camille asked, not bothering to waste any more time. The only thing that interested her right at this moment was to know why exactly Mathi
"So you're not going to change your mind?" Isabel asked."No Isabella, I'm not changing my mind. I need to go in there and see for myself what's going on," Amelia replied confidently and Isabel didn't bother trying to convince her otherwise. She already knew she wouldn't be able to change her mind and that Amelia was going to walk in there whether she liked it or not."Well then, whatever happens, happens my dear and I hope that for your own sake, that your instincts are not wrong," she responded in a tone that made it obvious that she wasn't in agreement with Amelia's decision."Are you going in there with her?" Isabel asked Adrian.She wanted to be sure that even if Amelia was making a very
Amelia took in a deep breath as she slowly turned on the door knob and tiptoed into Ryan's bedroom. She was all by herself but she knew that Adrian was not very far away from her and was only waiting for her to yell in case she needed help.She was more than thankful for the fact that Adrian and Isabel were able to convince her to come during the day because now that she was looking around, she could not imagine the panic she would have had to go through had she walked in here during the nighttime were everywhere would have gotten down and the entire place will be much more scarier.She decided against closing the door behind her for some reason and just kept walking around the room and using her eyes to scan around the room in case Ryan was sitting in a corner like he usually did. Unfortunately for her, the main bedroom was no
"Wake up darling," Amelia heard a voice sing in her ear and at first, she ignored it thinking that she was most probably just hearing things since she was both mentally and emotionally exhausted and was just finally getting some rest after spending the majority of her time crying. "I said, wake up darling. It's time for us to talk," the calm voice called out again and this time, Amelia did open her eyes to see who it was that was calling out for her. She hoped and prayed for Isabel's sake that she wasn't trying to pull some kind of prank on her cause that would just piss her off completely. As soon as her eyes flew open, she looked around for the person that had spoken to her and realised that there was nobody in her bedroom besides her. "Is anybody here?" she asked, sitting up immediately and getting ready to run should in case anything weird happened. Ever sinc
"Sorry Acacias but before you start saying anything, is this still my bedroom? Are you really in my bedroom? Can anyone passing hear me talking right now?" Amelia asked as it finally dawned on her that someone could walk by and overhear their conversation by chance. "If you're afraid that someone is going to hear you talking to me, worry not my dear cause this isn't even the real world. Your body is still in your room but your soul is with me," Acacias responded and Amelia didn't know whether to be thankful or to be freaked out. "Ok so what is this solution that you spoke about earlier? I honestly haven't a clue what is going on at this point and I desperately need answers," Amelia said. "If you have any questions, go ahead and ask me and I'll try my best to explain things to you as clearly as I can," Acacias said and Amelia started to take a mental note of everything she was curious about. "I have a lot of questions to ask but I'm going to start with the one I think is most im
Isabel tapped her feet impatiently as she waited for Adrian to finally show up. She had been standing by the hallway for over ten minutes now and there was still no sign of him anywhere. She tried not to think too much or anything but she couldn't help but feel like he had probably forgotten his promise to her and that she was only wasting her time waiting for him.For some reason, she was eagerly anticipating that he did not forget and was hoping that he would show up because she really wanted to talk to him and also get a grip on what she was actually feeling. She had run into him the previous day and when they spoke, she mentioned to him that the fortress had been really suffocating for her because she hadn't even gotten the chance to go out and even explore the place a little bit.She had only mentioned this to him to
