They waited for an hour or so at the hotel to rest for some time and also placed their luggage in the hotel rooms and then went trekking in the jungle. They were organized into groups and each had a different instructor with them. Ava, Grace, and their whole gang along with David and a few of his friends were in the same group.They reached the mountain on which they had to trek by buses and then started the exciting journey. They explored a lot in the jungle and were shocked by seeing new creatures and things and also took a lot of breaks throughout the day for they got tired pretty easily.They were walking up a steep rocky path and were quite tired after walking for a long time. The instructor told them to be careful for the rocks were kinda slippery. Grace was out of breath but they still had a long way to go. She looked up at the high point where the instructor was about to reach, she took a deep breath and continued walking. She didn't realize and her foot slippe

 "I love you, my dear princess," Ava said and pecked on Grace's lips. Grace smiled softly and placed her lips on hers. Ava smirked and kissed her back, her arms snaked around her waist and the kiss became passionate within a second. She pulled away after a few moments and Grace was catching her breath. "You're so cute, Grace." She said and pecked on her cheek."How are you so straight forward?" Grace asked and her face was flushed."I'm just excited now that I'm with you," Ava said and patted her head."So are we dating?" Grace asked hesitantly and looked at her slowly."What do you think?" Ava asked her and was trying to hold back her smile."I... I don't know." Grace got discouraged."Of course we are baby," Ava said and smiled at her softly. Grace smiled and hugged her tightly."Do you love me so much?" Ava asked when she saw tears on the corner of her eyes."I've liked you for two freaking years with no hope of being l

They all sat by the burnt-out fireplace, for some time after they had finished their breakfast and then started packing up for they were planning to leave that place soon to continue their trekking adventure after all they only had a day and a half left."Grace, are you done?" Ava asked her and sat closer to her. Grace was packing both of their bags for she was the organized one between them."Yeah almost." She replied and smiled at her."Good," Ava said with a mischevious smirk spread all over her face. She came closer to Grace and wrapped her arms around her waist. Grace was a little uncomfortable but just tried to go with the flow but then she heard the sound of someone's footsteps. She panicked and pushed Ava away, her head banged on the metal bar a little as she was thrown behind."Ouch!" Ava hissed in pain."I...I'm so sorry," Grace said and crawled closer to her."Hey, what are you guys doing?" Elijah asked and crept his head into the

Grace was walking around the museum when she felt as if someone was watching her, she ignored this feeling but couldn't get rid of it. She looked back when the strange feeling didn't stop to clarify but didn't find anything suspicious in that room.She kept walking and got the same feeling again after some time, she looked back again and it seemed that someone was indeed watching her and had just hidden behind the wall for she saw someone's head creep behind the wall, into the other side of the museum. She had a bad feeling about it but gathered her courage to look once. She walked in that direction and her heartbeat increased with each step, anxiety took over her and she was nervous about who could it be and if something bad was about to happen.She looked behind the wall and there was no one, she sighed in relief and was about to turn back when she saw a sticky note on the wall. Her heart skipped a beat, she slowly got it off and looked at it.It said, "It's g

Grace flinched as the door slammed shut and didn't move at all for a few seconds. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up, the room was spinning in her eyes. She felt uncomfortable but there was nothing she could do about it. She laid her head on the floor and closed her eyes tightly, her hands still gripping on her arms tightly. But now it was even worse. She started remembering her past, all those horrible moments started revolving in her head- her step-mother beating her, Yara leaving her alone, her classmates bullying her, her principal scolding her and suspending her from school, and her father beating and her in a dark room, crying her eyes out. She remembered the past and tears started falling down her eyes but she didn't let any sound escape from her mouth.She was trembling and was breathing hard, taking deep breaths. Her eyes were red from all that crying and her arms were bruised as usual. She heard footsteps outside the door and flinched. She got up and started w
