On The Hill

Chapter 6- hello

A few days passed, the weather seemed to get hotter to everyone's surprise, it was a great feeling to wake up to the soft heat every morning.

Arya had stayed at the caravan for awhile now, not going out and only going into town with her parents. She had no motivation to do anything.

Storm didn't seem to want to go out either, instead he lay where Arya would, staying by her, sleeping for most of the day.

"You could take storm out for a walk you know" her mum came and sat with her. They sat outside, relaxing in the sun.

Arya didn't reply instead just closed her eyes, she felt the warm sun rays hit her body. She wore more than she normally would, nervous to show her cuts and bruises all over her. After the incident, Arya was aching days afterwards.

"You know what you need to do don't you?" Her mum remembered something, she had forgotten about.

Arya looked at her mum, with a screwed up face,"what?".

"You need to ring nan, we promised we'd phone her after we got settled in" her mum reminded. She nodded in agreement.

"Come on! We are going to be late for the wedding! I told you we shouldn't have gone away so close to the their wedding day!" A woman's voice reached the ears of Arya and her mum.

They looked to see a car connected to a caravan, with a family in it. Inside a woman drove and a man in the passenger side, in the back was another.

Arya's eyes widened for a moment, she stared watching the car drive past.

"Marco did you get all of your stuff from the caravan?" The woman's voice was irritating but Arya didn't care about that.

The boy from the other night looked around meeting eyes with Arya, a smile appeared on his face and he waved menacingly. She saw his smile, the same one in the darkness of the woods. The same attitude when she first encountered him, with those kids.

He seemed to have a light bruise on his cheek, with a thick plaster on his ear. That guy must have hit him pretty hard after Arya had escaped that night.

Arya watched as the car pulled away to the exit. They were leaving, clearly to go to some wedding.

She sighed a breath of relief, hopefully she'd never see him again. She got her freedom back now that the threat of him was leaving the caravan site.

"You know I think I will take storm out for a walk now" she smiled, looking at her mum.

Storm trotted happily along the path, sniffing all the new smells left from other creatures.

Arya took her phone out, finding her nan in the contacts. She pressed it and the phone began to buzz as it rang.

She walked into the forest, holding her phone to her ear. It rang for awhile, she didn't think anyone would answer. She didn't want to be alone again in the forest.

"Hello?" A soft voice came through the phone.

"Oh hi nan, it's me Arya" she spoke, it was nice to hear her voice again, it had been awhile.

"Oh hello sweetheart, how's your holiday going?"

"It's good thanks, it's so hot though. What's it like back home?" Arya smiled as her and storm made their way through the masses of trees now becoming very familiar.

"Oh it's very hot here, I'm sitting outside making the most of the beautiful weather" her nan laughed with her.

Arya caught eye of the hill, it was one of the highest parts of the forest and surely had a good view of the beach and the sea.

"It sounds great nan" Arya came to the top of the hill and sat down, with her legs hanging off a steep part, it was an insanely breathtaking view.

Storm came and sat by her, leaning into her as she stroked him with her other hand.

"So what have you been up to?" Her nan asked, Arya tried to think of an answer.

"Oh we went into town and had some food and I've been going down to the beach a lot. I'm looking a the sea right now actually" Arya smiled as they spoke for awhile.

They both sat, resting just taking in the scenery before something interrupted them.

"I am missing you very much" her nan was so caring, one of the only family members who really showed love to Arya. Ever since Arya had known her nan she had always been on her own, her husband -Arya's grandad- had died quite a long time ago but her nan found joy in other aspects of her life.

"I didn't expect to see you up here" a voice startled both Arya and storm. She scrambled to her feet to face the intruder who stood in front of her now.

He was tall, thin stature, he had loose streaky brownish hair. His face was dark but with soft features, like his wide eyes. They stared at Arya, his mouth holding a small smile.

"Is everything ok dear" she could hear her nan on the other end of the phone. Arya knew exactly who it was.

"I've got to go nan, I'll call you back this week" Arya spoke through the phone, keeping her eyes on the boy in front.

"Ok dear, don't worry I won't tell your mum about him" she chuckled over the phone. Arya frowned at her last comment. How on earth did she know there was a boy? Suppose that was grandparents for you.

She was now left with this boy standing in front of her, well more so leaning against the nearest tree.

"Remember me?"...
