Haunting Adeline Chapter 18 の小説・ストーリー

She glanced left, then right, eyes scanning the bed, the curtains, the dressing table. Adeline squeezed her eyes shut. Please. Just leave. Celine lingered for a moment, frowning slightly as though she sensed something off. Then she shook her head, stepped back, and closed the door. Her footsteps faded down the corridor. Adeline stayed where she was, counting silently. One minute. Two. Three. When she was certain the hallway was empty, she slipped out from behind the door. Her legs felt weak but she forced herself forward, closing Andrea’s door carefully behind her before hurrying toward her own room.

Ada Steele:- With a wild gasp of repulsion, I awoke, my hand darting to my chest where a moment before the dagger had struck through my heart, or rather what had seemed a moment. It felt as though my lungs were burning, my throat was scorched, and I was gazing with wide-open eyes at the gentle morning light pouring in the usual transparent curtains. My heart was beating with great thudding, my bosom heaving up and down under violent gasps of breath, as I gazed around this small, humble room, formerly my own, in the packhouse.

She thought she was this close to nailing Carmela with the news from the pack witch but with the pack witch murdered and Tatum thinking he is Carmela’s mate, she is now back to square zero. She hears a loud pound on her door and her eyes snap from her reflection to the door just as it flies open. Adaline steps in and the gaze she sets on Leila reeks of malice and contempt. Her eyes are narrow and her fists are clenched. “When are you moving out?” Adaline blurts out curtly, picking Leila up and down with her scornful eyes. Leila gives her a stern look before she shakes her head, walks into her closet and shuts it behind her.

The more she walked, the less she saw anyone, until she was completely alone. As she turned the corner, she saw Tina standing there. A gun in her hand. “Good girl,” Tina grinned. “I like people who obey instructions. Turn off your phone and hand it over.” Adele obeyed. “Where is Jay?” “Let's go see him. How is Dan? Hope all this hasn’t upset him?” Adele ignored her. They walked until they came to a rundown house. “It used to be a beach house for a elderly couple who have both died.” Tina explained, pushing her in.

Chapter 59 Adelie froze on the spot and her eyes slowly widened in shock. "What is going on?" "Are they not siblings? What in the world is going on?" "Don't tell me they've been... Oh, no..." Adelie felt her heart stop beating for a while as those whispers tore through her ear, and when he finally pulled away from her, she staggered back, her face looked pale and shocked like someone that'd just seen a ghost. Maybe it would've felt better if she had seen a ghost, who knows?

Camila's quiet presence beside her, whispering soothing words, was a small mercy. The the night before we got to Hazem displayed an unmistakable shift. According to schedule Adaline waltz out of her tent, goes on her knees with Camila by her side wearing a sorrowful look. I pranced towards the two going on both my knees, holding Adaline's hands. She slowly traced my hands back to me and begin tearing up.

He picked up his thermos and took a slow sip, but the look in his eyes was worse than any insult he could have thrown at me. That afternoon, I grabbed an empty sterile vial from the company medicine cabinet. When I got home that evening, Alice was cooking in the kitchen. The roar of the range hood drowned out everything else. I took the chance to slip into the bedroom and buried my face in the pillow, inhaling deeply. I couldn't smell anything. She claimed the scent was fading, but I couldn't catch even a hint of diesel. "Dinner's ready." Alice appeared in the doorway, her apron speckled with oil and her spatula still dripping with broth.

He looked at me in terror. “You’re eyes!” he said to me. He took steps away from me. I walked away from him. I felt a voice inside of me again screaming in pain. Pain for a millennia of torment. Pain of Celenia, pain of Gabrielle, and pain for myself. It urged me forward. I walked towards edge of the cliff that we were resting upon. I could see the entire battle down below. I saw Rudolph, and all the family members he brought with him engaged in battle with everyone that hurt me. I saw to the left the horizon. A whole new group of vampires charging in. I recognized Silas’ mother and family charging in. She was quick and lethal as she took Marcus Hofer from behind and tore his head off.

I watched him drive away again. I thought it was prudent to follow my routine to the T. Get up, have breakfast, go to college, have David tell Adeline everything—how it was supposed to be. Or rather, how Adeline wanted it to be. I would stay in her sight at all times. The moment Patronus was out of danger, all it would take was a jump from the balcony, and I would be free. Sounds easy, but I wouldn’t be here if it were that simple. The moment I stepped foot in Anderson Mansion, Adeline was waiting in the lobby with a sour, twisted expression, fuming. Killian’s prank hadn’t aged well.
