Chapter: 12 |' at least they won't find me here '|

Kevin and Amelia were now walking on a silent road and then they took a turn into the forest. Amelia was trekking on the roadway when Kevin stopped her.

" Stop ! Let us do inside the woods".

"That's stupid Kevin, you know they will find our footprints, don't you?".

"Yeah but mum would have phoned us if she would have had located Hannah".

"Yeah! So…"

" so, Hannah might be hiding in the woods, she can't be hiding on the road, can she?"

" no "

" then let's go into the woods idiot !".

They were walking when Amelia stopped, Kevin kept walking but stopped when he realized that Amelia was not by his side, he turned around to look at Amelia who was looking to her right, on the road. He got confused and asked her " what are you staring at?"

" look on the road", he said.

Kevin looked on the road and saw Mr. Lewis's car. " Looks like they got seized", said Amelia.

" Maybe they went to find her on their feet, leaving the car here ".

" Let's just keep walking in quietness ", Amelia looked at Kevin.

They kept walking in the woods but stopped when they found the river, there was the same skeleton wearing Hannah's attire, for a second Kevin's heart stopped beating but then he heard a peal of loud laughter.

I heard a peal of loud laughter, " Amelia?", I whispered.

I heard nothing after the laughter, but then I tried to concentrate and I heard her voice again, " Hannah is clever I may say", I heard her talk in between laughing.

" What do you mean?"

I heard another voice, this one was confused and furious at a time and then the first thing which hit my mind was ' Kevin?'.

________________________________________

"What do you mean Kevin, obviously it's not Hannah, she went missing today remember?…", Amelia placed her hand on Kevin's shoulder.

" Yeah?".

Amelia chuckled and replied, " then? obviously, her body can't get decomposed that easily ".

" Amelia, we all know that she was a distinguishable human, maybe it was a different system with her"

" what nonsense is that by the way?".

______________________________________________________________________________

" We all know that she was a different human",

I heard Kevin's voice again, one thing that made me furious was the word ' was' in his whole sentence. After that, I was not able to hear anything. Realization hit me when my eyes went on a bunch of people who were coming my way, I immediately ran into the woods and started brisk walking not knowing where I was, I walked until the road disappeared from my sight. I sighed in relief but it only took a second to realize that I got lost. I panicked for a while but then a thought comforted me, ' at least they won't find me here '.

I kept walking, the surface started getting rougher and sloppier.

" Oww"

I heard someone groaning, I immediately turned around and took a few steps back in a panic the next thing I felt was a pain in my back. I was lying on the ground, I looked up and I realized that I fell from a small cliff.

I gathered all my strength and got on my feet, I looked up, at the cliff where I was walking before, ' should I climb back up ', the next moment I grabbed the stones which were cemented on the cliff, I stepped on the cliff and tried to climb up, I was almost there but then I felt my knees scratching due to coming in contact with the slope of the cliff and I fell again, I kept trying but it didn't work. I started losing hope, and tears started forming in my eyes, only thought which kept disturbing me at that moment was ' how will I get back there, but in a few seconds, I again thought, ' at least they won't find me ', I thought of walking away from the cliff.

" Are you sure about choosing this way?", Zoe asked in a worried tone.

" Absolutely !", Mariah said valiantly.

" Are you sure that you are an Ameliorate?"

" yeah, why?"

" You sound like a Protego to me, a Protego who is about to die and also dragging me to die as well ".

" Listen I already told you that if you don't want to come with me then don't, I can save the princess alone "

" See I am not saying that! I am saying that this way is creepy, let's choose the safe roadway, most probably Hannah will be there."

" look everybody knows that Hannah chose that way, so the COD went through that way, they might not be able to find her, but they could find us, because she is hidden, and we can't hide because we are scrutinizing her, is that clear ?"

" yes boss !", Zoe said calming her down.

Oliver kept walking with his men but then he suddenly stopped, " footprints ", he spoke grabbing everybody's attention, his men noticed that he is constantly staring at the woods at his left, and all of his men looked down at where Oliver was staring, and they saw footprints.

They followed the footprints until they reached the end of the cliff, " where is she ?".

" Sir look!", a man said while pointing down the cliff.
