Chapter 178 : She is here

With a happy wave Emmet and Esmee left carrying my many bags of shopping with them. There was panic in me but it wasn’t as intense as before.   The cars were not so fast and the smells not so over powering plus I knew where I was going now.  A place I hadn’t been in such a long while but my 16^th birthday seemed a good time to do it. I had to talk with A bell.

 A bell lived by the stream where we always sat and chatted together. We spent hours on our little patch curled up together face to face, our fingers loosely entwined into each other’s, sometimes talking, sometimes just listening to the gentle flowing of the water beside us. Arabella and I never needed any words, just each other. Here at the stream A bell would now would live in me forever and it was time I went to see her again.

Wandering my way down two back streets on my own I moved further and further away from the still busy city center until finally I could hear the babbling water from our little stream. Its sound melted through my body and alerted all my numbed senses, but this time not in a bad way. It was electric, it was a hot beautiful sweet smelling energy that filled up every pour on my skin and made me free, feeling closer to flying away into paradise then any human had a right to. All this just proved that Arabella was by my side because it would have been impossible to feel like that without her near me however it appeared that today, Arabella wasn’t alone.
