The next day
Jennifer P.O.V
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and David and Isabella were still asleep.
Note to self: they both like to sleep in.
While they were in the guest bedrooms, Emelia and I were in the kitchen making a snack for ourselves.
"Emelia, I have a question. It's been bothering me since last night," I suddenly say, reaching into the fridge for the turkey meat.
"What is it?" She replies, reaching into the cabinet for two plates.
"Why did it take you so long to find me?".
Silence.
That awkward, dramatic, silence that drives everybody out of the room
"Um," she paused, placing the plates on the counter. "Because I couldn't find you until now," she mumbled.
"What?".
"Because I couldn't find you until now. I searched for years and couldn't even find a trace of you," she answers, her voice becoming shaky, "Nicolas did say I would have a hard time finding you, and I stupidly underestimated him."
"Hold on, the two of you talked to each other?"
Nodding her head, she looks at me with such dread.
"After I found out that you went missing, I knew exactly who was behind it and went to confront him," she sarcastically chuckles. "Of course, at first, he was playing dumb about it, but once he figured he couldn't fool me, he made threats."
"What kind of threats?" I ask, inching closer to her.
"First, he told me that he'll make sure that I'll never find you, making you completely untraceable, but then said," she choked on her words, "he said that if I find you, he'll kill you because he would rather have you dead than taken away from him."
What.The.Hell!
"So he made sure nobody could find me, and if they did, he was going to kill me," I flatly say, not even surprised at this point.
It simply amazes me how fucked up some people can be.
"Pretty much".
"Well, now that I know the truth and am here with you, none of that will happen." I smile playfully, bumping her.
"Right, and if he even thinks of bringing his psycho ass on my property, I'll just put a bullet through his skull" She smiles darkly.
Why do I get the feeling she's not joking?
"You're just playing, right?".
Laughing hysterically, she gives me a wide grin, "Yeah, sure, I'm just playing around.....not," she mumbles.
"I heard that!".
