Chapter 15 - End Of The Road

What were you thinking, Louise scolded in a low tone, we're deep in the woods, anything can happen t… He was cut of when Eden began sobbing again, I'm sorry, I was just trying to get to the road, she explained with her voice shivering. I can't bare to stay here with you anymore I can't control.., Eden paused and mentally face palmed herself, she was so close to revealing her feelings. Look Eden, I know I brought you here against your will, but I would never intentionally hurt you, why would you try so hard to run away from me, he whispered in a hurt tone. Eden sobbed silently ignoring his claims, I'll go make you dinner, Louise voiced and disappeared into the kitchen. Stupid, stupid, stupid, Eden muttered to herself while ruffling her hair, after she had taken in a shaky breath. She almost blurted out her love for him like a fool, but then again she was so easily distracted around him, that was why she tried to run away in the first place. She peeked at him from the sitting area, he had his apron on over his casual clothes, his hair in a messy bun, his back looked so reliable and comfortable, his ass round and plump, his legs long and firm, was a man allowed to look this good from behind.

Dustin walked into his living room calling out to his wife and daughter. Dusty boo you're back, Everleigh announced excitedly as she ran into his arms hugging him tightly, Dustin lifted her and spun her around, placing a peck on her lips after putting her down. Missed you too babe, he let out also excited, where is Eden, he noticed the change in the atmosphere after he asked that question. What, isn't she back from camp yet, I was about to ask, what school camping trip goes on for more than a week, isn't it supposed to be like a night or two. He continued interrogating Everleigh, who stayed still and quiet avoiding his eyes.

Earth to Everleigh, he bayed, snapping his fingers in her face, which made Everleigh turn and smile at him awkwardly. What, Dustin's voice rippled through the house after hearing what his wife had done, you did what, he repeated. Calm down Dusty boo, hear me out, if I didn't send Eden with him, she would have reported Louise to the police, and since she's clearly an accomplice they would've arrested her too, I did it to save her. Still Ever baby, sending her with her obsessive boyfriend to the woods for more than a week, is a bit excessive don't you think. It's good he's obsessed, he won't hurt her or anything I know Louise okay, you just said he hit her on the head, for her own good. Everleigh pulled Dustin closer and ran her hand through his suit as if to arrange it. We need to keep quiet if we want Eden to be safe okay, I've already given an excuse to the school. We can't let anyone know about their whereabouts until she regains her memory, or at least agrees to keep quiet okay.

Are you sure he's going to tell us Edens whereabouts, Esmerelda questioned outside Edens house, I hope so, because he's our last hope, Eve let out before ringing the doorbell. Eve sighed deeply when the door opened to reveal Mr and Mrs King together, hey Eve good to see you, Mr King mentioned, good to see you to sir and ma'am, she said turning to Mrs King who smiled and her, after introducing Esmerelda to them and exchanging greetings, she decided it was time. Oh where are my manners come in, Mr King gestured for them to come in, aren't you guys supposed to be at the camping site, he queried which made Eve and Esmerelda give themselves a questioning look. Does this mean he doesn't know where Eden is, Eve thought to herself.

That's what we want to talk about sir, Esmerelda began, our class never went on any camping trip, it's so close to finals why would we do that, Eden and Louise have been missing for more than a week now, without a word. I and Eve believe that Eden was kidnapped by Louise, because she was going to expose him, expose what, Mrs King chimed in looking confused, yes we know of Louises wrongdoings. Eden must have found out and that's why they disappeared, and I think you know where they are Mrs and Mr King, she finished and sighed. Mrs King turned to her husband and giggled, you have an amazing imagination young girl, Eden and Louise went on a trip in hopes of her regaining her memories, if that's true then why did you tell Mr King that she went on a class camping trip, Eve questioned. Well that's because he is her father, and he would not have liked the idea of his teenage daughter alone with her boyfriend without adult supervision for a long time, but now he knows.

Then tell us where she is, they both yelled out at the same time, she's at our cabin, Mr King said impulsively, which took his wife by surprise. Babe…, if you can find them go ahead, he continued ignoring Everleigh. Why do you look so disheartened,Esme asked when they got back home, he told us where she is just as you imagined, Eve heaved a shaky breath and sighed. No he didn't, she let out sounding defeated, Mrs King must've gotten to him first, they have over ten cabins spread around Esme, and we can only go on weekends because of school. At this rate, by the time we find her she'll be on their side, or Louise might even start moving cabins so we don't find them. Stop it, Esme yelled, you can't loose hope, fuck school, we can skip and go on weekdays, you know what, lets go tomorrow. What's most important right now is finding Eden okay, Eve nodded, tears brewing in her eyes as Esmerelda took her in her arms hugging her tightly.

The next day Eve and Esmerelda went out to see Jack, Eves driver waiting for them. Is that your chauffeur, Esme whispered into Eves ear, yes, cute right, yh he is, Esmerelda smiled shyly while tucking her hair behind her ear. He was indeed cute, he was tall and bulk, brown skin, he had a taper fade fro, and brown eyes, draped in a black suit fit perfectly. After arriving at the second cabin, they both couldn't help but feel nervous, because this was their second attempt of the day, and they had to return home after that. They both came back to the car looking disappointed , we'll have to get going ma'am, Jack called their attention. With that Jack dropped them both at Esmereldas and left. Won't your parents be worried you're not home, Esme asked concerned, they're also on a business trip, and don't worry about Jack he won't report anything to them. He's my personal driver, yh about Jack, i-s he single.

Esmerelda, a familiar voice called ending their conversation, Samuel, Esme ran and hugged him after turning to see him. You didn't tell me you'd be back, and you must be Maria, she said after noticing a fair skinned girl with wavy hair, nice to meet you, Samuel has told me alot about you. Good things I hope, she said causing them both to giggle as they shook hands, yes very nice things.

What is she doing here, Samuel called Esmereldas attention to Eve, Samuel please don't start, she said after a short sigh, she's my friend I told you that. No, she's a killer, just like Louise and Eden, why don't you listen to me, no you're the one who's not listening, she's helping me get justice for you and all the others, it's fine Esme. I just texted Jack, he should be here soon, Eve she said walking down the stairs, I'll leave, it was nice seeing you again Samuel, and it was nice meeting you Maria, she said and smiled as she walked out the door. Esmerelda stormed up the stairs angrily, leaving Samuel and Maria downstairs.
