CHAPTER 11

AUROVILLE VILLA

❤❤

And I drove fast. Almost like Elec. I had to. Otherwise, she'd jump out of the car and run. Who knew, maybe she could even reach there before I drove myself there. When we crossed the cornfield, I remembered the conversation with Aiden. I had to tell my brain to shut up. When we reached there, it was too dark. I figured the silhouettes on the porch were Irsia, Aiden and Miles. Miles was sitting while Aiden and Irsia stood beside him on either side. Miles had his palm pressed on his forehead. I guessed he was hurt. Before I even killed the engine, Elec yanked out, rushed into the gates, and sprinted for him. She slapped him right across the face. Irsia struggled to pull her back. Elec was so angry that she could have beat him up to death.

Aiden chided, "Electra, cool it. He is hurt."

"Why did you go in there?" I asked, still walking toward them, trying not to run out of my breath.

"I wanted to take a picture of the lake from inside," he muttered. There was a serious bump on his forehead.

"You are viscid," Elec spat. Irsia was still holding her back. "uhhh...," she growled, disgusted. "You are adhesively clingy. I thought something bad had happened to you. Why would you put yourself in danger like that when you know I hate it when you do things like this for me?"

He didn't answer. She was right. He would do anything for her, and that was the very reason why Elec pulled away. "You know what? I could have gone in there by myself as I planned and would have seen it for myself," she seared.

"Whoa... what?" Irsia and I asked in unison. Aiden was in awe again. I think it's something that happens when you had been with someone from your very childhood.

"I know how freaking demented you are, Elec. I know you would do it on your own and possibly jeopardize yourself. I obviously didn't want you to be in danger when I leave town for college," Miles flared up.

Irsia let go of Elec and poked Elec with the truth. "You know what? He's right. You would have done that."

Well, I had to tell the truth from my side. "Uh... Irsia.., I think your statement needs a little bit of a correction." I cleared my throat. It was getting coarser. "You both would have gone in there sooner or later."

Irsia scoffed, but backpedaled with a slight shrug.

When Miles stood up the swing on the porch moved. It screeched with a sound that scraped the insides of my ears. Some part of me wanted to turn and look, but I didn't. We walked like two steps and Miles grumbled, "oh... damn." He felt his pockets and declared, "I left my phone inside."

"How did you hit your head?" Irsia asked.

"I don't remember," Miles muttered. He was already at the doorstep.

We stood outside. Elec looked like she wanted to go inside with him but she didn't. She stood at the doorway. The swing was still swinging back and forth with a low screeching sound. My neck turned involuntarily to the direction of the sound.

"I don't know why. I feel a great disquiet rising."

"Don't say that," I whispered, and looked at Irsia for assurance. But she looked more mystified.

"What is it, Irsia?"

"Something doesn't add up," Irsia conferred her turmoil.

"I thought so too." Aiden looked at the porch and I was sure we all had similar grisly, foreboding thought.
