Love and Hunt

Chapter Nineteen

I was trying to be in the mood. I had been silent. And I knew that the three of us wouldn't take a bus to go to the woods. Grace had decided to take a taxi as she would be invisible with Alex. I was climbing down the stairs when I knew that I still couldn't get out of the worry if I had to leave Will because of my father. When I had reached the lower, i almost forgot that I wasn't alone as Grace was behind me with Alex. And I knew that she kept holding him on for making her spell work on him. That minute when I stopped for a while, I knew that both of them must be wondering why I stopped for a minute. Then, I pulled that door and got out of the building. Outside, I found a taxi had been parked on the road in front of the building. That must be the taxi booked by Grace. I came to that taxi, and the driver opened the door for me.

"With Grace?" The driver said while looking at me going into the taxi

"Yes," I said.

When he was about to close the door, I stopped him and got out of the taxi. I forgot about them who had been invisible.

"I think I've left my purse," I said. "I want to check my bag first."

He was still holding onto the door that was still being opened when I moved my eyes to see it. I knew I was acting by opening my sling bag and searching for my purse.

"Oh, I've put it in my bag," I said smiling at the driver. Then, I moved into the taxi. And I was sure they knew what kind of position they had to do to fit in that single seat. I sat on the seat, and the driver closed the door.

The taxi was moving, and I kept thinking about what I had to do when I met with Luna like what Grace had asked me before we had got into this taxi. I knew it was not quite difficult. I needed to attract Luna from guarding Jacob in his cabin. I felt like I had lost my spirit to get there. I felt like I wanted to get out of this taxi right away. I could feel the anger inside me when I knew that I couldn't escape from Grace's plan. I just could sit silently when I wanted to scream and run away. Then, I looked outside the window. I just found those buildings. And I knew that I would be in the woods soon. I just couldn't imagine what would be like when I had to live with the guy that I didn't want to. When Grace asked me to remember what she had advised me, love sometimes took time. I didn't think it would work easily when my heart had been taken by that man. When I looked back outside the window, no buildings were seen out there, I was going to arrive at the woods. I knew what I had to do. In this quietness, I would figure out how to escape from that matchmaking if I couldn't kill Jacob.

I walked out of the taxi after giving the money. I was truly conscious that I was holding the door longer as I wasn't alone. When I thought it was enough, I closed the door of that taxi. Then, I heard the sound of that taxi as it left the spot where I had been standing. I felt like I was visiting my grandpa as I was wearing this sling bag. I kept walking and holding this sling bag. When I was going to reach those trees at the edge of the wood, I was sure Grace and Alex had been moving into the wood going to that cabin. Then, I saw a block thing in a round floating in the air till it turned into a big thing that could stand. Luna had arrived. She was in that black hoody cloak. And I didn't keep walking.

"Try to take him down again?" Luna said.

"No," I said. "I want to see you."

"Don't be funny." She said. "I'm not stupid."

"Yeah, you're not," I said. "I truly know that...you're so brilliant. But why did you join him? A brilliant one knows he's a bad guy. Tell me that you're as smart as you are."

"Don't waste my time." She said. "You won't get him. And I don't think you are capable enough to catch me."

"Why Luna? Why do you join him?" I said.
