Double Trouble

Chapter 17 - Principessa di morte

No One's POV

Tori sprung up from the table, her eyes wide. "You know where she is?"

Jadelyn who was in the process of downing about a half dozen aspirin nodded.

"How do you know where she is?" Asked Victoria.

Jadelyn at this point banged her head against the refrigerator and could be heard muttering. "Must resist urge to be a gank."

"Victoria, even though we call her Jadelyn, she still is Jade, remember."

Victoria cringed with embarrassment. "Sorry."

"If you two want to get dressed, we can go. Unless you want to run around in your pajamas, it's all the same to me." Jadelyn said acidly, as she headed back upstairs.

Jadelyn slowly made her way upstairs, threw on some jeans a Gwar T-shirt and headed back downstairs. She could hear Tori and Victoria changing themselves when she was changing and hoped they be quick about it. The cynical part of her however, completely expected them both to find cute outfits and spend an hour on their makeup.

But about 3 minutes after she came down, they both came down, dressed, but without makeup. Managing to resist making a comment about them daring to leave the house without makeup, she motioned to the back patio. "Let's go."

Tori looked to the front door. "Aren't we, taking the car? I really want to get to Jade."

"No, Follow me." Jadelyn said as she headed outside.

Tori and Victoria both shrugged and followed Jadelyn. Staying a few steps ahead, Jadelyn let them out the back yard and in between two houses until they reached the street on the other side. Then Jadelyn continued across the street and between two more houses out of the subdivision and into the hilly undeveloped area beyond.

They went up a small hill and into a small wooded area on the other side. Then Jadelyn found a path that seemed to be covered up and overgrown that led into the woods. Had Jadelyn not pointed out the path, they would have never seen it.

"This way?" Jadelyn said.

Not wanting to question Jadelyn's judgement, they followed. The forest, though very small, was lush and green with speckles of light breaking through the forest canopy above. The path went about a hundred yards until it came to small clearing. Jade then stopped and pointed to a huge and ancient oak tree at the other edge.

"There."

"Jadelyn, I don't see her. Are you sure? There's no one here." Tori said her voice starting to fill with panic.

Jadelyn sighed and then pointed up into the higher branches of the tree. "Look and listen."

Then Tori heard it, the sound was faint, but unmistakable. It was a man singing opera in what sounded like Italian and the sound was coming from an old looking tree house that was well camouflaged by several branches.

Jadelyn looked up. "This place is exactly the same in my universe. I found the tree house years ago. Someone else built it and whoever did, knew what they were doing. It's very well built and was built to last. I'm guessing some carpenter built probably it for his daughter. But it was long abandoned when I found it. When I found it, there still was old posters of Leif Garret and Shaun Cassidy on the walls. It's my sanctuary. A place where I can write and be completely alone. No one knows about this place except me."
