Third Person's P. O. V

Ellina sits on the couch peeling and slicing the fruits, after she finished slicing the last one she put give it to her grandma and Mrs Kelly James to eat. The weather was slightly gloomy today, the rain was drizzling and the wind was also quite strong. Well, she is guessing it will only rain more often knowing monsoon is approaching.

She glanced at the door wondering why she must take such a long time to picked up the call, she never walked away when picking up a call , " Come on Ellina have some, " Kelly quickly commented seeing her not eating. Ellina shakes her head with a small smile, " This days, children are all about dieting looked how skinny she had become. " of course if your granny saw you skipping a meal one time you suddenly loose 20 kg
(44.092 pounds) in a day, " Granny, I'm not dieting " she give a peck on her cheek, looking helplessly at her grandma who had somehow blame everything on dieting when she did not eat something that is offered to her, starting from the time she had a conversation with a nurse that was talking about the unhealthy dieting habits of teenagers nowadays and how bad it is to skip meals .

She walked back to the couch, after awhile the door was opened. Rue's face was slightly haggard and worries was written all over her face. She glanced at her and walked to her grandma whispering something to which her grandma nodded and say something back . Ellina sits down, her emerald eyes shining in curiosity.

Rue walked towards her , she looked like she wants to say something. She awkwardly touched the back of her neck, she glanced at the other two in the room and turn her head to face her again.

, " Jules' father just called me and it seem that there is some problem so I have to go. " her explanation was vague, she could just say she had something to do and go. She herself don't understand why she must brief her about the situation . Her warm brown eyes looked at her delicate cheek, her hand twitched she really want to touched her . She refrained from doing so clearly aware of where the other two persons' attentions are placed on .

, " What's the problem? " she hesitate to tell her the real reason, not that she didn't trust Ellina. She is uncomfortable knowing that Mrs James is here. Some people may appear trustful and kind at times but you can never be too sure. Seeing her hesitation Ellina assumed she didn't want to share and didn't continue to asked her.

, " If you two youngsters like to talk you can do it outside. " granny was more sharp than Ellina and could see that her inability to share was because of the other person's presence.

Ellina sit still clearly thinking that it was pointless since there is nothing to share anymore and Rue doesn't want to anyway. Rue give a grateful look to Hera and hold Ellina wrist which take the latter by surprise.

Rue went to a more secluded area, " Jules may or may not have wander off somewhere and they are searching for her now. " her hand reached out and touched her head , she slowly lower it touching her earlobes and to her cheeks , she stroke it gently and inching a little closer to her .

, "And they call me to inform me of what happened . I have a guess where she may be, so I'm going there. "

Ellina takes a hold of the hand and stepped back , she looked down on her feet not knowing how to reply, " Hope you found her quickly. " she didn't want to delay her who was clearly in a hurry any longer, it will be a mystery to her why she stay here in spite of her being in an obvious rushed.

Looking at the straight back of the person walking away, Ellina's heart was also not without a worry though. She had no ties with that person , it's the one walking away that she is worried about.

She looked at the person that was gradually disappearing from her view , she run towards her grandma ward in a hurry, " Granny I got something to do! " without a doubt Hera clearly knows what the thing she had to do, Ellina takes her phone and rushed out of the hospital.

****************

Ellina don't like this place, it give her a weird feeling. She kept quiet not making a comment, she don't want to hinder her search. Maybe it was due to the rain, the air was humid and cold.

She looked around the place, it was dirty, slightly muddy and a weird smell linger in the air. The building here are tight and congested, there is also multiple stairs. She glanced at the alleyway carelessly, she stopped dead in her track seeing a three people that seem not too older than her , sitting in the cold and dark alley injecting themselves with a syringe. One of them constantly scratch himself in his hand, leaving a trail of red finger nails mark, they have no awareness of their surrounding at all .

One of them was lying on the ground using the garbage bin as support, after the other person finished his businesses the syringe was snatched from his hand. The other person quickly take over it, and digging the syringe into his vein after filling with fluids.

His eyes rolled back and he visibly relaxed . Ellina was completely frozen in place frightened by the sight, she wants to move away but she have no control over them .

She was startled when a hand was suddenly places on her shoulder, she snapped her head back looking directly into Rue's eyes, she cast her gaze towards the place she was looking at, her eyes darkened .

She should not have taken her along, how could she have thought that she would be able to adapt to such place. It's full of darkness, there is no light present here and the wind make a chill runs down one's spine and she is the opposite of all that, like a dandelion that is delicate and light . She would naturally be repelled by such place.

The fear in her eyes and the slight trembling of her body will forever be ingrained in her head .She felt likes those fear are directed at her and that thought alone cut her like a knife, she hold her cold hand and walk away from there, her hold tightened feeling her trying shake her hand off.

, " Rue what are you doing here? " she frown , seeing the person she was searching for. She had a guess that she would be here, the little palm in her hand struggle harder. Her face become colder not liking her rejection.

," Jules have you fucking gone crazy? " Rue is really tired of Jules' play, she never listen to her . She try to control herself but she was filled with worries and anger at Jules. She also felt guilty bringing Ellina here, and seeing Jules careless smile with no regards for her words at all make her burst.

, " I've been searching for you in this whole damn neighborhood! How many times do I have to tell you this place is not safe? " Jules have never seen Rue this angry, she will never be this angry at her if the only reason is what she stated. There must be some other resons, she glanced at Ellina and smile coldly.

Rue glanced at Ellina who was frightened by her angry shouts, she take a deep breathe to control her anger and stopped herself, " I'm sorry. " she whisper gently to Ellina , who shake her head gently . Her eyes filled with worries seeing her still paled face .
