Chapter 51: CHAPTER FIFTY ONE
As she swam off far into the far end of the water, she reached the shore of the river and laid on the bare wet ground, she reached for her wound and touched it, it was still sore but the water managed to drain out the blood that had filled her body and she felt a little relieved that the billet didn’t enter her flesh but scratched the top of her shoulder, she was grabbing the only thing that felt true to her, she was holding on to her life and hoping to survive till the next day.
She was gasping for air knowing that there was absolutely no place for her to stay, the swim was terrible stressful and her hands hurt from gather constant swimming and redirection of her hands, she knew it would be all over town that the vampire had been found in the jungle, it was a pity she had pulled off all their men to the ground, the ones that tried to tie her up were the most foolish set of people.
What were they trying to do? Did they think she was some kind of beast or creature? She thought as she laid her head to the ground, there was nowhere else to go, everybody was looking for her and in no time they would be around this axis looking for her. “It would be very easy to find her'' she thought as she sprang to her feet, and began running along the sandy way, the shore looked like a desert but she didn’t know better so she ignored the thoughts in her head calling the shore a desert and continued walking fast while holding her hands on her shoulders, the plan was to get a place to hide first before deciding where to stay, she started running when she heard a sound beside her, she knew it wasn’t safe around her, anyone could actually see her walking with her open wounds so she thinks of a place to stay, the water had taken her to any part of the road, as she was walking, she thought of Adam’s private home.
She remembered the location as she tried to search deep into her head if she could actually remember the location, it was the only safe place to her, all the other places were unsafe and she trusted no one not after what the Colven Pack did to her, welcomed her- not all welcomed her through and threw her out homeless and hopeless.
The rest of the story didn’t matter anymore, she wanted a place to spend for the night before she forged ahead to place still unknown to her, as she searched through her mind, she finally decides to stay in Adam’s private home since he won’t be there, and she knew he would definitely be in the mansion. So she decided to go to his private home, as she walked to the place she tried to remember the way that led to it, she knew there was no means of transportation so she had to walk there alone and without fear.
The run to Adam’s private home was pretty slow because it was far but she had to get there before she got to the entrance. The entrance looked exactly the same way it was when she last came here. She entered the house, she got the ecstatic feeling again and proceeded to move inside the house.
***
As Adam drove through the wooded areas, he was moving at high speed seeing if he would get a glimpse of her while he drove down the sloppy area that led to the mall.
As he drove, he thought about the decision he had just taken, the fact that he abandoned his wedding just to look for Sarah, he was totally sure that Xana was flaring up probably scattering the interiors or breaking glasses in all directions, he was sure the house would be in total shackles now that he was away, he couldn’t even imagine the look on his mother’s face if she found out that he is showing in search of Sarah.
He swerved the car to the other side of the road, following a black car opposite him, he glanced out through the window and continued moving towards the road, the drive up the slope was fast and straight, as he tuned into the radio in his truck, he heard the radio presenter say something like a vampire as he listened closely, he increased the volume of his radio, he barely ever used his radio since most of things he wanted to know was about his clan and the public didn’t know about his clan or the existence of werewolves but he didn’t know what prompted him to tune in to the radio station:
“The vampire lady has been spotted in the jungle today, the search team was badly injured by the beast and according to reports, and she jumped into the waterfall...”
Adam couldn’t wait for the lady on air to finish what she was saying. This meant that Sarah was still alive and struggling for her life. The air on his chest rose up in fear and hoped she was okay.
At that instant, he felt sorry that she had to go through the sufferings alone, he hated that he hated her when they told him she murdered Selena, he hated that he still haven’t found her after several hours of searching the whole city but now he had a clue, the presenter said something about her jumping into the waterfall and Adam hoped she was okay because he knew how the waterfall looked like it took everything to survive jumping inside the place, according to her, she injured the search team and he was not surprised, she did that to protect herself from the danger at hand even humans looked for anything they could find to avoid any danger at hand.
He felt bad that she was out there alone, he changed the direction of his truck to the jungle area, still wondering how she must be dating after the long jump and shots fired at her, he felt hurt by allowing her to go through the pain while he was unable to help.
The drive to the jungle was fast majorly because he knew where he was going and he found a link to get her before the public found her, the need to get on time hit him quickly as he moved beyond the pile of bricks that blocked the way, he blamed himself for not chasing her the day she left the house, he was just moving hoping that she had not done anything to harm herself.
As he moved deeper along the road, the need to find her caused him to come down from his truck. He searched through the outer space of the jungle because he couldn’t get into the inner space considering the action do the action, anyone they found would be linked to anything or they might even shoot him thinking he was a threat to their mission.
He was obviously a threat to their mission because he had to get her back and keep her safe from any other impending danger but they would have to deal with him first before he allowed them to touch her, the drive back home would be futile, he thought as he thought of where he would stay if darkness should come in its full state, he was terribly sad that she went through the attack alone and without any other person in the world.
She must think of him as a wicked fellow but he didn't, he was determined to get her back to him in different ways he could even if it meant him jumping into the waterfall to look for her, he would. Courageously, he entered into the inner part of the jungle searching and digging deep into any trace or signs of her white he found nothing and his heart began to palpitate, she couldn’t die.
His heart was heavy with guilt, he was nearing the waterfall as he gets there, he looked through the water or see if she was there but the only thing he saw blood stain of the leaves that was adjoined together with the waterfall, as he found blood, he hoped to smell her but she wasn’t around the jungle, he thought of the road that led to the shore, as he retreated back to the outer space where his truck was parked, he entered into the truck and turn the steering to the left that was the road that led to the shore, as he approached the saw, from inside his truck he could see footprints on the dry sand, jumping out of his car, he ran off towards the prints, it looked recent which meant she had just passed the area, as he looked into the ground her found a spot that was marked by the human body, a full print of her body and he imagined she must have struggled to get out of the water, he found drops of blood, they looked red as new and he knew she had to be somewhere around the shore or maybe further but he knew it wouldn’t take too long to find her, he had a clue now nothing could stop him.
Darkness was approaching and he needed to get some sleep. Before his search the next day, driving back to the city would mean him driving into the night and it was risky. As he sat on his truck, he remembered his private home was some miles away from the shore.
He decided it would be best for him to go there since he was still searching for her and it continued till the next day. He decided he would remain in this part of the city till he finds her, he promised himself he wasn’t going back till she is found.
As he pulled his car to the road, he moved farther into the house, as he gets to the house, he switched off his ignition and followed the stairs that lead to his private house, getting inside he saw light beaming from the other room, he knew someone was inside but he just couldn’t figure out who, the entire place was stark dark except the light illuminating from the room, he thought about robbers and travelers who broke into people’s homes, his lock was a strong one so it was impossible for someone to open it anyhow so they person must have some kind of heavy metal or strong object to break the door open, he decided not to shout for fear or being shot, not that he was scared of been shot but the fear of having to meet different people and guns pointed she his face, he strolled along the hallway, as he gets into the room, he sees the back of someone, a lady peeking her head through the window, she was wearing his clothes, his legs made a distracting sound and she turned, it was Sarah.
“Sarah,” he said as his heart leaped with joy, his heart was elated with joy, he was overjoyed that his search had not been in vain. He was happy that he finally found her after days of searching endlessly, she was here, in his home, in his clothes.
As she turned around and saw him, she had shock in her eyes as she opened the window widely and jumped out through it. He wondered where she had run off to but he was more surprised at her reaction when she saw him. He was glad that he found her but the problem was where she was running too.
He was worried as he reached the edge of the window as watched her as she ran, he jumped out too and screamed her name while she ran
“Sarah!” he yelled after her as she ignored him totally and kept on running as quick as her legs could carry her, he was wondering if he looked like a ghost or the subtle reminder that he was part of what caused her most of the troubles, if not all.
He was beyond glad that he finally found her, he started running to meet her pace but she was faster and she had taken another route different from the one they all used, it was very strange of her to run away when you see someone you know, he expected that she would be happy to see him but his second instincts told him she was wishing he never came, the greater part of his two days experience was the idea that you should give up, the only thing he wanted now was to wrap his arms around her and feel her in, he could relate to the reason why she ran.
He decided to look for her while he searched through all the bushes, he dug deeper into the little garden across the street, still no trace of her, her walked to the road hoping she was waiting for a car but find her missing, he was sure she was somewhere around and hoped that she remained safe as he met her;
“Sarah!” He yelled her name like that was all that mattered to him, while he searched the whole part of the home and possible places she might have ran to. He continued going into the dark shouting her name. “Sarah!” His legs were beginning to get weak but he couldn’t enter inside, he had to show her that he really cared for her in spite of everything that had happened.
