Novel & Cerita Meet Me By The Fountain

"I guess you're right. Is there a public place we can talk then?" Every instinct screamed at me to refuse. To run. To get in my car and drive until I hit the ocean. But I was tired of running. Tired of looking over my shoulder. Tired of being scared. "Fine." I heard myself say the word before I'd decided to say it. "Behind the post office there's a trail leading to a park with picnic tables. No one uses them before noon." He nodded slowly. "When can I meet you?" "I have tomorrow morning off. Eleven."

" Fiona warned and I cocked my brows at her words. Sensing her choice of words, she laughed nervously. " I mean come on, let's head out already. We might as well get done with this shopping thing and come back to do a thing or two." She explained. After contemplating her words, I figured out I might as well play along. After all, there's no way I'd be going back to sleep immediately after the interruption. I'd need a miracle to fall asleep again. " Alright. Where should we meet?" I conceded. " Downstairs near the fountain. Be ready in twenty minutes. " Fiona said excitedly before disconnecting the call.

Couldn't see you, couldn't hear you but I knew you were there. The same way I always know when you're close. Come to me openly next time. Stop hiding behind your new powers and face me honestly. We need to talk, just the two of us, without supernatural enhancements or third parties interfering. Meet me tomorrow at noon, the Luxembourg Gardens, by the Medici Fountain. Come alone, or don't come at all. But know that I'll keep killing everyone you care about until you give me what I want. You. I showed the message to the others, watching their expressions shift from concern to calculation as they processed the ultimatum.

Where do you want to meet up? I texted back and tapped send. I've never been a slow pacer and I won't start now. Almost immediately, his reply came in. Michael; I'm in the cafe just outside the school. The one on the far end, by the left... He texted back and I took note in my head. Fay; give me five minutes, I'll be there by then. I stood up and told Abu I was going to see a friend. I motioned for Amara to follow me outside the hall.

Just when I think he's about to let go, he signals for me to lean down again. "What's up?" I whisper as we lock eyes. "I need a way to update you on how the day goes," he whispers back, making sure only I can hear. "We're going on the parachute ride tomorrow morning. Can you meet me by the fountain at noon so I can tell you all about it?" Ruffling his hair, my smile matches his young face. "I wouldn't miss it for anything."

I had to maintain a facade of strength. Just as I was starting to feel like I'd been standing there forever, my phone beeped, breaking the silence. I glanced down to see a message from Ambrose: [Get in the car, the red convertible sports car in front of you.] A wicked smile spread across my face as I typed out a response to Ambrose's message. Did he really think I was the same naive Freya who would blindly follow his instructions? [You said to meet at Fountain Tower, not to get in a car," I texted back, my fingers flying across the screen. If you're not planning to get out, I'd rather leave.]

Meet me at Sylvester square at two pm. Sylvester square was just opposite to the hospital, quite close to my firm too. It was a huge water fountain shaped like a square. There were six hours to two pm. It'd be lunch break at the firm too. But did this woman actually need any help? All she said was that she'd help me. I got a completely eerie vibe from her, but should I leave a woman in a condition like this alone?

"If you don’t mind, can we meet? It would be better to talk face to face. I’m outside your house, but I just learned you don’t live there!" I leaned against the balcony railing, letting my gaze drift over the streets below, fingers brushing the smooth surface. The air was crisp, carrying distant sounds of the city waking. "That’s right. I’m not home. How about meeting at Violet Café in City X?" "Sure. Let’s meet around ten," she replied, her voice carrying a quiet authority, yet not without patience.

If yes, why then was he offering to help me cover it up? Something was fishy, and I had no idea how to approach it. A tiny part of me hinted at reaching out to Fredrick but I kicked against it immediately. I was going to figure out a way out of this without him “But what if I agree.’ I mused. “How am I supposed to get in touch with whoever this is?” Mother Nature must have heard me because immediately I muttered that thought, and another text notification popped up. “Meet me tonight.” I read out slowly. “At the city's Golden Plaza by eight. Don't be late, or else.” Shit, what was I going to do now?

I replied without looking back as I walked towards the door. It was already late. Past midnight. The city had shrunk down to quiet streets and flashing signs. I parked a block away from the museum and walked the last few blocks. The old stone fountain sat behind the building, Its edges were chipped, and the water was dry, like memories that had been forgotten. I wonder why Aaron chose this place of all places. I had sent him a message to meet up as I walked out of the house and he asked to meet up here. With his dark coat zipped up and hair slicked back, Aaron leaned against the edge of the rim. He looked like we were still in the past.
