The Rich Orphan

Chapter 5

"What are you doing?" Lydia nearly screamed. "Lydia, what the hell. Calm down." I hissed. Jesus, I couldn't draw attention to what I was doing. "This is going to the extremes Eliza, you don't need to go this far, all you need to do is talk." Lydia breathed heavily, trying to keep her breathing steadily. In her shock she had pounced across the room to stop me from moving anywhere. 

"Lydia, I have spent my whole life being trapped and not being able to move and from those experiences  I l learnt you don't let people look after you, because if you do  you get hurt." 

"What about me?" She whispered, her beautiful blue eyes shimmering with tears. "I'm your best friend what am I going to do when your gone?" The tears now rolling down her cheeks. 

"Hey, dont be like this." I assured her, "You know I will be back." I had stopped being harsh, and started to wipe her tears, away. I couldn't help but be heart broken when she started to cry. 

I sighed "But I have to do this, Lydia"  I gave her a hug then I grabbed my fully packed bag and walked towards the door. "I will, try to send you letters when I can." I smiled, calming my breathing and wiping all emotions from my face I opened the door. "Love you Liddy" 

I walked down the halls, to be given anxious glances and smirks of course everyone was very excited by my departure. I reached the front door to be far welled by Lewis, Richard and Hail. "Ah, Eliza, ready to go." Richard beamed holding the car keys. "Um..Richard I'm going to go by train and taxi."

" Why" He frowned.

"Because I don't want this meeting to be formal and I will be more comfortable being alone." I smiled. 

"Well if that's what you want." 

"Thank you" 

I walked to Hail, and put my hand out ready for handshake but instead I was embraced by Hail's love and care. "Your not going that easily." She whispered. I laughed, but I wasn't a normal happy laugh, it was a gurgled, sad laugh.  "I will miss you." I whispered in her ear. 

"I will too" She smiled, touching my cheek. 

"Hello, Eliza" Lewis winked. "Goodbye Lewis." I chuckled. "If you ever want to talk you know where to find me." He joked. "Thanks for the offer." I grinned.

I let myself out and made my way over the neighbours house, I slipped a letter explaining I woul not need to use their garage anymore, but thank you for their generosity. I pushed started the bike and sped off towards, the place that was left of my childhood. Greenwood Cottage.

Noah's POV

The beautiful sun was startingg to set creating the sky into a bright pink and every second, I was getting more and more anxious and worried. Eliza should be here by now . I could feel it. "Dad, she's not coming, we need to go looking for her." I pleaded, for the twelfth time. This time Dad didn't tell me to calm down, but told me I was right, it was now 8:30. "Okay, well we need to gather all the Pack memebrs and maybe the neighbouring pack because we don't know where she is sh-" 

"Noah, please just calm down, the more wound up and angry you get the less time we will spend on trying to find Eliza." Dad interrupted me. "First we need to call, her Care Workers and ask what time she left, however we will make a feeble excuse as we were worried when she needed dinner and how Eliza, had complained with a weak stomach, but we want to speak to Richard becuaase he seems less attached to Eliza and will not assume anything. Then we gather the pack and see how we attack the situation." 

"Okay" I sighed, that was a lot more appropiate plan than mine, which included getting the entire Werewolf population to find her. "I knew something was wrong, when we left, her emoitions were too calm." I sighed,   should have payed more attention to my instincts.
