Chapter 3 - Feeling myself begining to trust her.

The minute I had left The Boards office, I was sent to my room to get packed and ready for the flight.

I had left all my gadgets, my badge and access card behind and with one more warning of secrecy held over the Institution, I left for my flight.

Now, here I am boarding off the plane in Lakewood, Georgia and making my way out into new territory.

I sighed and made it to the main lobby and saw a lady holding up a brightly coloured sign with my name on it.

I raised an amused eyebrow at her enthusiasm as she waved the sign around with a big humoungous smile on her face.

She had light brown hair that had its highlights and lowlights in all the right places. She had dark brown eyes which swirled with nothing but giddy happiness. She had a strong nose and high cheek bones and pink lips which suited her tan face.

"Hi! Im Shelby. Your aunt." She says enthusiatically with a huge smile on her face. I make no move to return it.

"Sup." I simply say, doing one of those guy nods before moving past her and making my way to the baggage claim.

I heard her mutter 'nice to know your name too' and forced my lips to not twitch into an amused smile.

Now before you think anything rashional, I am not trying to be a cold bitch. It's just that I dont trust people easily. Living in that Institution really gave me trust issues so if im going to be myself around her, she needs to gain my trust.

I waited for what felt forever for my two suitcases. I spotted my pink one coming up in the corner and grabbed it only to have it being pushed out of my hand.

I quickly glanced behind my shoulder ready to fight the critter that dared to touch ny stuff when I saw it was just Shelby.

"Whoa there Jet Li. Im just tryna help" she says, seeing my threatening stance as she put her hands up in surrender.

I relax a bit before looking out for my blue suitcase. Once it came around the other corner, I followed Shelby out of the airport and we made our way to her car.

My jaw practically dropped when I saw the black Range Rover. I mean, sure, I have a ferarri but Range Rovers were slick!

"You have a Range Rover?!" I ask in shock.

"Yeah. Just got it yesturday" she said, scratching the back of her neck as she watched me look over her car with an admiring gaze.

"Nice..." Is all I say and in the corner of my eye, I see something in Shelby's eyes. Hope? What for?... Im not sure coz before I could decipher what I saw, she wriggled her car keys and jumped in the drivers seat.

I put my suitcase in the boot with my other one and made my way to the passenger seat, suddenly surrounded by warmth and blasting music as I closed the door.

"Oh by the way, some guy came over and dropped off a red Ferrarri in front of my house? He said it was yours. He also said that the rest of your things will be sent tomorrow" she said, starting the engine.

I beamed with excitement at the mention of my red baby. The guy was probably someone from the Institution and im guessing the 'things' are my guns and knives considering I cant exactly waltz into an airport with them

"Okay. Sweet" I cough out, trying to contain my excitement but I was already busted. She saw my smile and respinded with one of her own, only bigger and more enthusiatic.

She kept her eyes trained on the road as we made our way to her house, with only the company of the music playing on the radio.

I looked out the window as we passed by big looking houses and without realising, I began singing along with the song playing.

"Stay with me. 'Cause you're, all I need. This ain't love its clear to see. But darlin' stay with me."

"You have a nice voice" I heard, causing me to jump a bit at the sudden compliment.

"Uh... thanks" I say awkwardly, clamping my mouth shut.

I had never sung infront of someone. Its not that I was shy or didn't think my voice was good. Heck... I didn't even know I could sing until now! Its just that im always busy with other things I kind of... missed out on the other things.

We stopped infront of a two story house, and I saw my red baby parked out front too.

I got out of the car and took my suitcases then followed Shelby into the house.

It was pretty big. It was nice. With white walls covered with paintings and family photos. A staircase right ahead, a living room to my right and closed door to my left.

"Its a library. Its where I go to just clear off some steam. You can use it if you want" she says, noticing my questioning gaze at the door.

We made our way to the second floor and I grazed my hand over the railing as I slowly took in the pictures framed on the wall.

"There are two bathrooms. One downstairs past the living room and one up here. Second door from the staircase." She said.

I nodded and followed her to the third door which was my room. There was another two doors, which I guessed was a guest room and her room. From what I heard, she had no kids or a husband so we were on our own in this house.

"This is your room" she says, opening the door.

I took in my surroundings and looked around. My room was fairly big. With a desk at the far end that gazed out the large window. There was an installed flat screen tv on the wall and a king sized bed on the opposite side. On the left of my bed there was a door. I rushed over to it and opened to find a walk in closet. I smiled secretly before getting back out and looked around some more. I noticed a dressing table near the door and walked over to it. It had a big circular mirror on the furnished oak wood and a picture that lay on the surface of the dressing table. I picked it up and there, I found a younger version of my mother, maybe ten or so, smiling at the camera. Next to her was a boy her age but he wasn't looking at the camera, he was looking at my mum... with something I couldnt quite pin out in his eyes.

"She was so fun back then. So cheerul" I heard a voice say behind me.

I nodded "who's the boy?"

"Your dad" she said with a distant look on her face, smiling down at the picture.

"They were best friends. I knew he was in love with my sister at a very young age. You could tell by the way he looks at her. Like none other" she said, shaking her head with a smile still on her face.

She sniffed "uh... its been a long flight for you. You should get some rest" she says quickly,trying to cover her emotions as she left my room.

"Yeah. You too" I say

"Night"

"Night" I say, pausing for brief moment "and one more thing"

She turns and looks at me expectantly.

"My name's Ciara" I say, feeling a smile crawl on my face.

Her eyes are wide in surprise at first before they soften. Probably realising i'm letting her in.

"Well goodnight then Ciara" she smiles.

"Good night Shelby."

And after she left I crawled into bed, feeling happy.

Feeling myself begining to trust her.
